Free College Basketball Picks: Columbia at Michigan State
by George Monroy - 11/14/2013

The Michigan State Spartans made a statement on Tuesday night with a huge win over the No. 1-ranked Kentucky Wildcats during the Champions Classic in Chicago. The Spartans erased any doubt—at least for now—about which school has the better team. Michigan State is one of the most experienced squads in the nation and returned many of their players from last season’s Sweet 16 tournament run.

Free College Basketball Picks: Arizona at San Diego State Odds
by George Monroy - 11/13/2013

Jabari Parker and Andrew Wiggins may be receiving all the attention early in the college basketball season, but the No. 6-ranked Arizona Wildcats believe that they have one of the best freshmen in the nation. First-year forward Aaron Gordon was one of the top high school recruits during the offseason, and he has already shown flashes of potential only two games into the year.

Free College Basketball Picks: Western Carolina at Oregon Odds
by George Monroy - 11/12/2013

The No. 18-ranked Oregon Ducks opened up the season with a solid 82-75 win over the Georgetown Hoyas in South Korea last Friday night. The Ducks were actually underdogs in the matchup and came out looking to prove that they are in fact a legitimate national title contender that can improve on last season’s surprising Sweet 16 run. Oregon will begin the year with five straight home games and two neutral-site games.

Free College Basketball Picks: Oregon Ducks Futures Odds
by George Monroy - 10/25/2013

The Oregon Ducks may have been one of last season’s biggest surprises in the nation. The Ducks won the Pac-12 Tournament and made a solid Sweet 16 run where they were eliminated in a close matchup against the eventual champion Louisville Cardinals. National title contenders do not usually come from the Pac-12, but Oregon will again enter the season with a talented roster of players that could improve on last season’s excellent run.

Free College Basketball Picks: Arizona Wildcats Futures Odds
by George Monroy - 10/18/2013

The Arizona Wildcats are expected to be a major contender to win a national title this season and are receiving the eighth-best odds in the nation. The team is coming off of a solid postseason NCAA Tournament run where they reached the Sweet 16 and were eliminated by the Ohio State Buckeyes in a three-point game that came down to the final few possessions.

Free College Basketball Picks: Ohio State Buckeyes Futures Odds
by George Monroy - 10/11/2013

The Ohio State Buckeyes came within three points and two minutes of making a Final Four appearance last season, and after entering the tournament as the No. 2 seed in the West region, a loss to Wichita State in the Elite Eight has to feel like a disappointment. The Buckeyes ended last season with a 29-8 record, which was good for a No. 7 ranking in the Associated Press Poll and a No. 6 ranking in the USA Today Coaches Poll.

College Basketball Picks: UCLA Bruins Futures Odds
by George Monroy - 10/4/2013

It has been 18 years since the UCLA Bruins last hoisted up a NCAA basketball championship banner in Pauley Pavilion. It has been so long that any basketball bettors under the age of 30 would hardly remember it. The epic heroics of Ed O’Bannon and Tyus Edney would fall on deaf years if you tried to recount them in this day and age.

Free College Basketball Picks: Florida Gators Futures Odds
by George Monroy - 9/26/2013

The Florida Gators managed to make another deep NCCA Tournament run last season after winning their conference and finishing the year with a 14-4 SEC record. The Gators were able to make a third straight Elite Eight appearance before ultimately being eliminated by the Michigan Wolverines.

College Basketball Picks: Duke Blue Devils Futures Odds
by George Monroy - 9/19/2013

The Duke Blue Devils ended last season with another deep tournament run when they were eliminated in the round of eight by the eventual champion Louisville Cardinals. The Blue Devils competed in their 13th Elite Eight game in the last 27 years under Coach Mike Krzyzewski and again are expect to be in the national title mix.

College Basketball Picks: Kentucky Wildcats Futures Odds
by George Monroy - 9/16/2013

The Kentucky Wildcats are again the favorite to win the college basketball national title after last year’s disappointing season, which resulted in the team not even making the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats were unable to overcome multiple injuries, poor play from their guards, and an overall lack of leadership and youth. The team will look to correct the failures of last season and the disappointing fact that they were unable to defend their national title in the postseason tournament.

College Basketball Picks: Kansas Jayhawks NCAA Futures Odds
by George Monroy - 9/9/2013

The Kansas Jayhawks may have hit the recruiting jackpot when Andrew Wiggins—the next once-in-a-generation player—decided to attend the school. The Jayhawks will undoubtedly be a good team next season, but how good remains to be seen. Wiggins is supposed to be the next huge NBA star (think Michael Jordan or LeBron James). The freshmen will more than likely be a one-and-done player before he heads to the pros, so now is the time for the Jayhawks to capitalize on all their talent and win a second national title since 2008.

Michigan vs. Syracuse Picks and Final Four Betting Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 4/6/2013

It was not a stretch back in January, near the beginning of conference play, to predict or suggest that Michigan and Syracuse would meet in the Final Four. At that point, Michigan was No. 1 in the nation while Syracuse was No. 4, cementing the perception that they were, in fact, two of the best teams in the country.

Iowa vs. Baylor Picks and NIT Betting Odds

The Iowa Hawkeyes and the Baylor Bears will wrap up a four-game run through this year’s NIT on Thursday night at Madison Square Garden with one final showdown for the tournament title. Tip off for this NIT Championship Game is scheduled for 9 p.m. (ET), and it will be broadcast nationally on ESPN.

Santa Clara at George Mason Picks and CBI Odds
by Trevor Whenham - 4/3/2013

The Patriots got here by upsetting College of Charleston on the road in the opener then beating Houston at home in overtime and Western Michigan. Santa Clara started by hosting Vermont then traveled to Purdue and Wright State. Now they are meeting in the rarest of situations in college basketball — a best-of-three final.

Iowa vs. Maryland Picks and NIT Betting Odds
by Dave Schwab - 4/2/2013

After getting jilted for an invitation to the Big Dance, the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Maryland Terrapins will continue to try and prove the NCAA Selection Committee wrong when the two clash in this season’s NIT Semifinal Round this Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.

Marquette vs. Syracuse Picks and Elite Eight Betting Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 3/30/2013

Much like the Wu Tang Clan, the Big East ain’t nuttin’ to f#^* wit. The Big East, despite being much-maligned after the NCAA Tournament’s opening weekend, was the best college basketball conference in the country this year. Not the Big Ten. And anyone that says the Big Ten was the best conference is cooking up and shooting the ESPN Kool-Aid.

Michigan State vs. Duke Picks and Sweet 16 Odds
by Alan Matthews - 3/29/2013

There are some great matchups in this year’s NCAA Tournament Sweet 16, no doubt, but I don’t think it’s close as to which is the marquee game: No. 3 Michigan State vs. No. 2 Duke on Friday night in Indianapolis for the right to likely face No. 1 overall seed and tournament favorite Louisville on Sunday for a trip to the Final Four.
