TCU vs Kansas State Odds, Picks and Predictions: Wildcats End Big 12 Skid
TCU may be a Top 25 squad but without leading scorer Mike Miles Jrs., the Horned Frogs have dropped two straight. As such, college basketball odds have the Wildcats slated as a 4.5-point favorite and our betting picks expect them to cover with ease.
Houston vs Temple Odds, Picks and Predictions: Defense Dominates in Revenge Game
Houston seeks to avenge a one-point loss to Temple just two weeks ago, but it may not be easy against an improving Owls team that's playing in their own building. Our college basketball picks are calling for a low-scoring slugfest.
Gonzaga vs St. Mary's Odds, Picks and Predictions: Bulldogs' Defense Will Oblige Over Bettors
Gonzaga finds themselves in an unusual spot as underdogs against St. Mary's tonight. While the betting public has yet to make up its mind on the spread, consensus action is driving this total down. However, our college basketball picks prefer the Over.
Oregon vs Arizona Odds, Picks and Predictions: Ducks Keep Up With Wildcats
The last time these teams matched up this season, Oregon beat the brakes off Arizona with its hot shooting. Now with the Wildcats 9-point faves, our college basketball betting picks think that's too many points.
Oklahoma State vs Oklahoma Odds, Picks and Predictions: Sooners Kick Cowboys off Their High Horse
Oklahoma State was able to beat in-state rival Oklahoma rather handily when they met two weeks ago in Stillwater. But the venue has changed for the rematch, and revenge is on the menu in Norman, as our college basketball selections outline.
Arizona vs Washington Odds, Picks and Predictions: Huskies Can't Hang With Rejuvenated Wildcats

Kansas vs Baylor Odds, Picks and Predictions: Jayhawks' Slide Continues in Short Turnaround

Temple vs Houston Odds, Picks and Predictions: Owls Hunted on Sunday
Houston's defense is going to make life hell for Temple today, putting the clamps on an already-inefficient offense. See how our college basketball picks are backing the Cougars.
UCLA vs Arizona Odds, Picks and Predictions: Cats Come to Play
This Pac-12 showdown sees two of the nation's top squads going head-to-head... and while oddsmakers are leaning ever-so-slightly toward the streaking Bruins, our college basketball picks are actually on the Wildcats at home.
UCLA vs Arizona State Odds, Picks and Predictions: Bruins Cool off Sun Devils
The Arizona State Sun Devils are on the rise in the Pac-12, but they'll be tested for class in Tempe tonight by the No. 5 UCLA Bruins. Our college basketball picks say points will be at a premium in this one.
USC vs Arizona Odds, Picks and Predictions: Trojans, Wildcats Play to the Under
Arizona's recent struggles reared their ugly heads in a 19-point blowout loss to Oregon over the weekend, but we're expecting a much more spirited defensive effort tonight against an offensively-challenged USC squad. Read more below.
Texas vs Iowa State Odds, Picks and Predictions: Target Over With Texas' Sloppy Defense
Between the market overcorrecting to Iowa State's defense and Texas' defense falling off a cliff in recent weeks, this total is a few points too low. We break down the 131-point Over/Under and more in our college basketball picks and predictions below.
Utah vs USC Odds, Picks and Predictions: How Low Can You Go?
The Trojans and Utes are set to meet up in a matchup of two Pac-12 teams that should be suffocating on defense tonight. Find out why this game has all the makings of a low-scoring affair in our Utah vs. USC betting picks.
Colorado vs UCLA Odds, Picks and Predictions: Bruins Lock Down on Defense
UCLA's an elite defensive unit, one that Colorado will have trouble leveling up to. In particular, one Buffaloes standout has had trouble getting buckets against top foes — find out who to target with our college basketball picks.
Utah vs UCLA Odds, Picks and Predictions: Utes Put Up a Fight
UCLA is an imposing foe at home, but Utah's facing a bloated spread, in a spot where it's probably being undervalued. See why our college basketball picks like a closer game in this Pac-12 tilt.
Colorado vs USC Odds, Picks and Predictions: Buffaloes Stampede Trojans
Colorado has been a hard team to read this season, and now it must face a USC team that's made a name for itself on defense. With that said, our college basketball betting picks believe this spread is too long.
Houston vs Cincinnati Odds, Picks and Predictions: Under Trend Continues for Cougars
Houston has been an unstoppable force this season, but Cincinnati has been no slouch itself. Although both teams have very capable offenses, our college basketball betting picks are eyeing the defensive side of the ball.
Arkansas vs Auburn Odds, Picks and Predictions: Hogs Trample Tigers
Arkansas has ridden its elite defense to a top-tier ranking, and that pressure should travel well against an Auburn squad that our college basketball picks think is getting too much credit at home.
