Mike Krzyzewski’s final home game as head coach of the Duke Blue Devils is set to go down Saturday night in front of what’s expected to be a raucous Cameron Indoor Stadium. Fans, alumni and thrill seekers have ponied up big money to see Coach K coach his final game in front of the “Cameron Crazies.” And isn’t it fitting his final go of it comes against the hated North Carolina Tar Heels whom he owns a career 49-46 SU record against after his kids went into the Dean Dome and hammered the Heels 87... 

Two teams without any hopes of attaining the Big Ten regular season title will duke it out for nothing more than B1G tourney seeding when the Michigan State Spartans and Ohio State Buckeyes cross paths for the one and only time pre-tourney. Heading into the 2021-22 CBB betting season, both Sparty and OSU were expected to play major roles in deciding the conference victor at online sportsbooks. But with Tom Izzo’s kids clocking in with a 10-7 record and Chris Holtmann’s troops 11-6, both squads f... 

If the Baylor Bears are to win a second straight Big 12 regular season title – at the very least a share of it – they’re going to need to defend their turf on Saturday night when the Kansas Jayhawks invade the Ferrell Center for the second and final throw down of the regular season between these conference heavyweights. Bill Self’s troops cruised to the win and point spread cover at online sportsbooks in the first go-round crushing the Bears 83-59 as what turned out to be laughable 2.5-point Allen Fieldhouse favorites back on February 5. With the taste of that beating still fresh in the defending champs’ collective mouth, you can’t help but think Scott Drew’s kids will be more than ready for the rematch in front of their hometown faithful; especially with its two most recent losses coming against the other two teams still alive to take home the regular season title. But will Baylor have enough in the tank to combat what looks to be a determined Jayhawks outfit that’s a late-game collapse against Texas from entering this tilt winners of seven in a row (5-2 ATS). I think not! ... 

It hasn’t been a good year for the ACC. This conference is used to being the best or at least one of the best conferences in the country, but they are currently ranked sixth in Ken Pomeroy’s overall rankings behind the other power conferences. Duke is the only team that is certainly in the NCAA Tournament at this point with a 23-4 record, but only one other team has 20 or more wins. The Virginia Cavaliers are one of the teams on the bubble, and a win over Duke would do wonders f... 

Two of the best teams in the Big 12 are looking to keep their regular season conference title hopes alive on Saturday afternoon when the Texas Longhorns host the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Chris Beard may have finally turned around Texas after years of middling basketball under Shaka Smart, while his former team has had a resurgence in its first season under new coach Mark Adams. Both teams are considered locks to make the NCAA Tournament, but the Longhorns and Red Raiders are looking to run down t... 

It hasn’t been fun for the West Virginia Mountaineers when it comes to battling the Big 12 rival Kansas Jayhawks ever since becoming a member of the conference back in 2013. Since then, Bob Huggins has been forced to watch his kids fall to the Jayhawks in 16 of the 22 overall meetings be it in the regular season or Big 12 Tournament. None of those wins occurred in Lawrence. Does that mean WVU will have a shot to win the rematch with it back in the comforts of their own gym? Linemakers at online ... 

One of the reasons the Kansas Jayhawks have dominated Big 12 play since Bill Self took the program over in 2003 has been its ability to dominate Oklahoma State. Dating back to 2006, KU has rattled off 21 wins and was only handed nine defeats while covering the closing college basketball odds at online sportsbooks 15 times. Only twice during that 30 game sample was Kansas not favored to win the game by linemakers. Having come out victorious in seven of the last eight most recent meetings, the Jay... 

The Houston Cougars are looking to make it back to the Final Four after they had a dream run to Indianapolis last season. Houston was the No. 2 seed in the Midwest Regional and didn’t face another single-digit seed on its way to winning the region. That led to a lot of excitement surrounding the AAC this season, but this could be a one-bid conference. SMU and Memphis are the only teams with a chance to make the NCAA Tournament according to the latest edition of Bubble Watch, but the Memphis Tige... 

The greatest rivalry in college basketball will see another game played this weekend when the North Carolina Tar Heels welcome the Duke Blue Devils to the Dean Dome. This will be Coach Mike Krzyzewski’s last game against the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill, and he will want to go out on top. Coach K is 49-46 all-time against North Carolina in his career, so a victory will ensure that he retires with a winning record against the Tar Heels.... 

A pair of top-10 teams will square off Saturday afternoon when the reigning champion Baylor Bears invade the Lawrence Fieldhouse looking to halt a three-game coverless streak at online sportsbooks against the No. 10 Kansas Jayhawks. These teams currently sit in first and second place atop the Big 12 standings. As such, much will be on the line when the teams collide in the first of two scheduled regular season standoffs. These rivals split their pair of meetings a year ago with both home teams h... 

The Pac 12 has two teams that could win the national championship this season in the UCLA Bruins and the Arizona Wildcats. A team from this conference hasn’t gone on to win March Madness since Lute Olson led Arizona past Kentucky in 1997, but the Pac 12 is having its best season in quite some time. There are four teams that could make the NCAA Tournament as the West Coast is suddenly becoming filled with basketball talent. UCLA and Arizona are both in contention for seeds on the No. 1 and No. 2 line heading into February. ... 

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are in real need of a statement win. Notre Dame is 13-6 and 6-2 in conference heading into this weekend, and the Fighting Irish have two crucial home games on Saturday and Monday. They take on 12-8 Virginia this weekend before facing the No. 9 Duke Blue Devils on Monday night. The Fighting Irish are currently part of the Next Four Out according to Joe Lunardi’s Bracketology, but two wins could have them back on the right side of the cut.... 

A big one is set to go down in the Big Ten Conference early Sunday afternoon when Chris Holtmann’s No. 16 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes invade Mackey Arena to take on Matt Painter’s No. 6 ranked Purdue Boilermakers. It doesn’t get much bigger than this for both programs with the meeting proving to be the only set to go down in the regular season between the schools. As such, a win in this spot would go a long way towards making life a bit easier for either team to cash in on the B1G futures odds at... 

A good one is set to go down in the Phog early Saturday evening when John Calipari’s No. 12 ranked Kentucky Wildcats square off against Bill Self’s No. 5 Kansas Jayhawks in one of the premiere matchups set to go down on Saturday’s loaded college basketball betting slate. Both teams enter this tilt fresh off overtime wins and non-covers at online sportsbooks. Kentucky was able to avoid falling to Iverson Molinar and the Mississippi State Bulldogs, but failed to cover the 9.5-point spread in the 8... 

The No. 7 ranked Kansas Jayhawks have lost two games this college hoops betting season. Bill Self’s kids will get a chance to avenge one of them on Monday night when Mark Adams and his No. 18 ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders invade the Phog looking to sweep the season rivalry. The teams squared off in Lubbock a few weeks back in a game Texas Tech controlled throughout. It would go on to log the 75-67 outright win and cover at online sportsbooks as decided 7-point home underdogs. The triumph snapped... 

The No. 24 ranked Tennessee Volunteers will return to the comforts of their home arena to battle the No. 13 ranked LSU Tigers off a two-game split against Kentucky and Vanderbilt. LSU will be out to snap a two-game losing streak after dropping a tough one at home to Arkansas and following it up with a hard fought loss and point spread cover at Alabama. These rivals sit neck-and-neck in the current SEC standings with each already absorbing three conference losses. With Auburn, Kentucky and Texas ... 

Since taking over the storied Kentucky Wildcats program in 2009, head coach John Calipari has been an undeniable recruiting machine. As the undisputed King of “One-And-Done” recruits, Calipari has put numerous players in the NBA. But the one thing he has not done is win multiple national championships. Kentucky’s only natty under Calipari was in 2012. And their most recent Final Four was in 2015. To say that the natives are getting restless would be an understatement. Kentucky hosts a tough Tenn... 

Forced into a COVID pause makes the remainder of the season a difficult stretch for Pac-12 teams. One team facing the challenge is the Oregon Ducks, who play three times this week. The middle of those games is on Thursday against No. 3 UCLA Bruins. It hasn’t quite been the season most expected in Eugene. The Ducks were ranked in the top-20 at the start of the campaign but suffered three embarrassing losses in their first six contests. Ahead of Monday’s tilt against Oregon State, the Ducks have p... 

On Sunday afternoon, two faded powers will try and find their way. The Cincinnati Bearcats are on their third head coach in the past four years. Longtime leader Mick Cronin bailed for UCLA after the 2018-19 season and was replaced by John Brannen. Brannen had the misfortune of having a probable NCAA Tournament berth in his rookie season canceled by the pandemic. And then last year, Brannen was fired after a player revolt that included six transfers out. Wes Miller arrived this season from UNC Gr... 

It’s a top-25 showdown in the Big 12 when the No. 6 Kansas Jayhawks visit the No. 25 Texas Tech Red Raiders on Saturday. It’s a bit surprising Kansas isn’t ranked higher since they’ve won eight straight and have just one loss on the season. The schedule has a lot to do with that and this is the first nationally ranked opponent KU will face. The Jayhawks had a rough outing on Tuesday but rallied to beat Oklahoma State in the league opener. They were tenacious overcoming a poor shooting night to b... 

Coach Sean Miller’s departure from Arizona has left considerable doubt about the future of the Wildcats. During his time in Tempe, Miller was a big winner, but it was under a cloud of scandal. There were multiple accusations of serious NCAA violations regarding recruiting, etc. Of course, not long after that, the “rules” changed in that there are no rules, and the NCAA has been rendered utterly feckless. Stepping into this mess as Miller’s replacement is Tommy Lloyd. Lloyd’s original plan in lif... 

It looks like the Kentucky Wildcats are back. A perennial college hoops powerhouse, the Wildcats stumbled to a 9-16 record last season, the first time in over three decades they lost more games than they won. They can match their entire win total from a season ago by taking down in-state rival Louisville Cardinals on Wednesday. UK is coming off an impressive 98-69 win over North Carolina, the eighth win in 10 games for the 21st ranked team in the country. The Cards added to the misery of last season beating the Wildcats for the first time in four tries. Still, UK holds a huge 36-16 advantage in the all-time series that dates back over 100 years. ... 

Their stay atop the national rankings didn’t last long, but the Purdue Boilermakers rebounded from their first loss of the season with an overtime win over NC State. There’s another big matchup on the schedule with the Butler Bulldogs waiting in the first round of the Crossroads Classic in Indianapolis. Purdue is one of the best offensive teams in the country scoring at least 90 points six times in 10 games and the Boilermakers will give Butler’s top-20 scoring defense a good test. Butler has wo... 

A top-10 matchup takes place on Sunday when the No. 6 Villanova Wildcats visit No. 2 Baylor Bears. At 8-0 the Bears are a win away from taking over the top position in the national polls and some would argue they should be there now. The schedule hasn’t been overly demanding with a win over Michigan State for the Battle 4 Atlantis title the biggest notch in their belt. The defending national champs have won five games by at least 27 points and have outscored opponents by an average of 27.6 point... 

Nobody understands just how long the college basketball season is more than the Gonzaga Bulldogs. Their undefeated season came to an end in the national championship game last season, so maybe an early season setback isn’t the worst thing. A brutal stretch of games is what prepares this club for the postseason, and they’ve been really good over the years. The Zags dominated then No. 2 UCLA and lost to then No. 5 Duke. Saturday’s game against the No. 16 Alabama Crimson Tide may seem like a walk i...
