We're still quite a long ways away from the NCAA Tournament, but the dance will be here before you know it. In case you've missed out on the first half of the season, we're here to catch you up on all you need to know about the college basketball campaign to date.... 

The Indiana Hoosiers might have three wins in their four Big Ten road games this year, but they've really struggled to cover spreads away from Bloomington in general. In away games and neutral site games this year, they're just 2-7 ATS, something that they'll try to right on Tuesday in Ann Arbor against the Michigan Wolverines.... 

Kentucky is still a ranked team, but they haven’t quite had the year everyone expected. They had a chance for a big statement win on Saturday, but eventually fell to the Jayhawks in overtime. Returning to SEC play, the Wildcats will look to return to the win column on Tuesday against a middling Tennessee squad.... 

The 13-7 Texas Longhorns have a significantly better resume than their middling record suggests. That said, they're the proud owners of wins over Iowa State, West Virginia and North Carolina, and they'll have a shot to add another scalp to the bunch when they take on the Baylor Bears on Monday night.... 

If the North Carolina Tar Heels can take out the Louisville Cardinals on Monday, they'll very likely have a two-game lead in the ACC at the halfway point of the conference schedule.You can bet on college basketball odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season.... 

After having its 22-game Big East winning streak snapped by Providence last Sunday, Villanova saw its lead in the conference shrink. The No. 6 Wildcats look to start a new run of victories while extending St. John’s losing streak when the two hook up in the Garden.You can bet on college basketball odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season.... 

Maryland won its biggest game of the season Thursday knocking off No. 3 Iowa at home to move closer to the top spot in the Big Ten. Next up is a rematch with the Buckeyes, who the Terps destroyed by 35 points just two weeks ago. Can you say letdowm?... 

The teams met just last week with Pepperdine pulling out a thrilling win over BYU to jump ahead of the Cougars in the WCC standings. It’s not the building that wins games, but BYU hasn’t lost at the Marriott Center this season and plays seven of its last 10 in Provo.... 

The last time the Tigers played at Auburn Arena they knocked off rival Alabama. The time before that an upset over Kentucky was in the making. Auburn makes full use of its home court advantage and will need that and more to upend Oklahoma State when the teams meet in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge.... 

The Wisconsin Badgers were left for dead just a couple weeks ago. They were 9-9 after losing to Northwestern and never really were thought of as a team which could get back in the discussion for the postseason. However, wins over Michigan State, Penn State and Indiana have changed the narrative a big, and a win on Sunday over the Illinois Fighting Illini could once again put the Badgers in talks for the dance.... 

No matter how good of a team you are, heading to Madison Square Garden can always get the best of you. The Villanova Wildcats are still sporting a Top 10 record, but they've had their problems under the bright lights at MSG and could once again find themselves in a bit of trouble on the road against the St. John's Red Storm on Sunday afternoon.... 

The SEC/Big XII Challenge is an interest experiment coming dab smack in the middle of conference play. Many of the teams pitting against each other between these conferences at the end of January badly need big non-conference victories to boost their NCAA Tournament resumes. The Texas Longhorns are the perfect example. They've got some bulk to their docket, but they also don't have a great won/loss record that you look for in a tourney team. Saturday's game against the Vanderbilt Commodores could end up being a tipping point in the season come Selection Sunday.... 

With just a 1-3 SU and ATS record on the road in the SEC, there has to be some legitimate concern for the Tennessee Volunteers as they head away from Knoxville once again on Saturday to take on the TCU Horned Frogs in the SEC/Big XII Challenge.... 

The Ohio State Buckeyes played a really tough game at the XFINITY Center just a couple weeks ago, allowing 100 points in a brutal loss to the Maryland Terrapins. The script is often flipped from games like this when two teams meet on short notice, and that's what the Bucks are hoping for on Sunday at home.... 

There's only one team left in the ACC without a win in conference play this year, and there's only one team which has yet to lose a conference game. The bad news for the Boston College Eagles is that they're the butt of this joke in what could be a laugher of a game against the North Carolina Tar Heels on Saturday afternoon.... 

Having not faced each other since 2003, the Mountaineers and Gators take a break from conference play to square off in a Saturday showdown in Florida. The Gators will look to rebound after a narrow loss incurred on the road against Vanderbilt.You can bet the college basketball odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season.... 

Neither the Louisville Cardinals nor the Virginia Cavaliers have been doing any favors for bettors of late, but something will give for sure on Saturday when these two ACC heavyweights clash in the Commonwealth.... 

The No. 1 team in America will head out on the road to take on the No. 1 player in America on Saturday night as a part of the Big XII and SEC games played this weekend. Ben Simmons has accomplished a lot in his young career, but a win for the frosh for his LSU Tigers over the Oklahoma Sooners would go a long way to ensuring that the boys from the Bayou get a chance to performance in the madness of March.... 

Two of the top players in the country face each other when Buddy Hield and the Oklahoma Sooners visit Ben Simmons and the LSU Tigers on Saturday in what should be the most entertaining matchup in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge. Simmons may be the top pick in this year’s NBA draft, but Hield has the Sooners ranked No. 1 in the country.... 

The good news for the Kansas Jayhawks is that they've still got a spotless record here at home at Phog Allen Fieldhouse. The bad news is that they've lost three of their last five games after winning 14 of their first 15, and they're welcoming a very dangerous Kentucky Wildcats team to Lawrence on Saturday night.... 

There is some bad blood between these college basketball blue bloods after Kentucky’s 32-point beatdown of the Jayhawks last season. Kansas gets a shot at redemption and puts its 34-game home winning streak on the line in the marquee matchup of the SEC/Big 12 Challenge.You can bet on college basketball odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season.... 

One of the marquee matchups of the made-for-TV event that will dominate college basketball Saturday has No. 14 Iowa State at No. 5 Texas AM in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge. With both teams rolling through their respective conference schedules, the break in league play couldn’t have come at a worse time.... 

Baylor’s two Big 12 losses were dished out by Oklahoma and Kansas, if you’re going to have a good loss, those would definitely qualify. After playing at LSU on Tuesday, Georgia makes the long trip to Waco in the middle of their conference schedule to compete in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge.... 

Louisville’s No. 16 ranking will be tested over the course of three days with matchups against some of the ACC’s best. The grueling stretch begins Saturday against No. 11 Virginia and concludes Monday with No. 2 North Carolina. The Cardinals have the benefit of playing the games at home where they are 13-0 this season.... 

Is anyone in the A-10 going to be able to slow down the VCU Rams this year? Will Wade's team is on a roll at the moment with 10 straight wins, and they've gone 7-1 ATS in that stretch as well. The Davidson Wildcats have been hit and miss, but you know they're going to be ready for this one at home on Friday night....
