College Basketball Picks

It’s usually a sketchy proposition to bet on a road favorite at Hawaii, as “weird things” tend to happen with regards to fatigue, cramping, shady calls by the ref and simple over-stimulation by visiting teams who are enamoured with the atmosphere and gut busting Kalua Pig at Luaus. This doesn’t really hold true for UC-Irvine though, as they’re used to this trek and have handled the Rainbow Warriors in five straight games. The Anteaters are hot too, winners of eight of their last ten games. They’ve done so using an efficient offense and consistent defense. Hawaii on the other hand has dropped three games in a row. See Dan’s full take on this late night bailout game here!

Evening Big Ten college basketball action features somewhat of a fishy point spread where MSU is favorited by 6.5 over the Terps of Maryland. Tom Izzo’s club have dropped three of their last four games and Mark Turgeon has his Terrapins squad in high gear, winners of their last seven games. A case can be made for Maryland to be super-motivated as their in the running for the top seed in the conference. Check out Dan’s prediction to beat the spread before placing your wagers!
