Let’s dive into my top three bets for tonight’s action.
Best college basketball bets today
- Butler +9.5 vs. Marquette
- Virginia -6.5 vs. Clemson
- Texas Tech +9.5 vs. Kansas
Butler +9.5 vs. Marquette
Marquette is the rightful favorite, but there is enough there for me to take the 9.5-points with Butler.
Marquette is a 3-point shooting team, with 41% of their shots coming from beyond the arc. Now, the Golden Eagles face a Butler team whose defensive strength comes from the perimeter, ranking 69th in opponent three-point field goal percentage, keeping teams to shooting just 32% from three point land.
The opposite is true on the other side of the court. The Bulldogs largely keep their offense to the interior, which is Marquette’s weakness, ranking 229th in opponent two-point field goal percentage.
I’ll take the points with the Bulldogs.
Virginia -6.5 vs. Clemson
Clemson is a great team to bet on when the Tigers are on their own court, but they’re a great fade when they hit the road. Their effective field goal percentage drops 6.7% on the road compared to at home.
Virginia also has a significant advantage in the stat called “effective possession ratio”, ranking 43rd in the country while Clemson is 225th.
I’ll lay the points with the Cavs.
Texas Tech +9.5 vs. Kansas
It’s time to sell high on Kansas after winning six-straight games.
If you look at its record, you’re probably going to be surprised to see that Texas Tech is actually the better shooting team, ranking 60th in effective field goal percentage while Kansas ranks 64th.
Texas Tech will also be able to create plenty of second chance scoring opportunities. The Red Raiders rank inside the top 60 in offensive rebounding, while one of the biggest weaknesses for the Jayhawks is defensive rebounding, coming in at 167th.
Texas Tech will make a game out of this and I’ll back them as underdogs.
