Old School Meets New School
The Gonzaga Bulldogs certainly have a lot to prove in WCC play this year. They're going to need to win a heck of a lot of games in conference play, and tripping against a team like the BYU Cougars could put them in a lot of trouble when it comes to their NCAA Tournament hopes....
You never know what version of the Tulsa Golden Hurricane you're going to get on any given night. You might get the club which scored 57 against Cincinnati and got blown out by 19, and you might get the one which dropped 81 on Tulane in an easy romp from the get go. The Connecticut Huskies have to be aware of this potential challenge at the Reynolds Center on Thursday night and cannot take the Golden Hurricane lightly....
Fourth year USC coach Andy Enfield has the Trojans off to their best start at 14-3 including 3-1 in Pac-12 play and 11-0 at home for the first time since 1973. UCLA is 2-2 in league play following a pair of wins last weekend including over No. 7 Arizona, and the Trojans are 9-1 at home this season....
The Tigers were unable to follow up an impressive win over Kentucky with an equally strong performance against Florida. Still, they have the offense to dominate and the matchup to get back in the win column on Wednesday....
The Clemson Tigers have had a heck of a start to the ACC season. They've had to play against some of the toughest teams in the nation in succession, and they've easily turned themselves from an ACC has-been to a team which might be on the right side of the NCAA Tournament bubble. After pulling off upsets against Florida State, Syracuse and Louisville, could the Duke Blue Devils be next?...
The No. 14 Cyclones will head to the Lone Star State to face the Longhorns. Iowa State beat Texas the last time these two teams met with the Cyclones coming away with the 69-67 victory thanks to a 22-point effort from Georges Niang and a 24-point game from Monte Morris.The two will be back on the court for Iowa State on Tuesday looking for another win 10 months later. Of course, this time they'll look to cover the spread, too, after a push last time around....
Losses to UCLA, Ohio State and LSU have caused the Wildcats to drop to No. 8 in the college basketball rankings. They took down the Crimson Tide on Saturday and are in place for another SEC victory when they return home to host the Bulldogs who'll be trying to avoid their third straight loss....
The Big XII season is only three games old, but already, there are only two undefeated teams left to choose from. The Kansas Jayhawks and West Virginia Mountaineers will both enter Tuesday night at 3-0 in conference play, and one will have the inside edge to the regular season Big XII title after what should be 40 grueling minutes for both sides....
The Texas A&M Aggies have snuck into the back end of the Top 25, and a big road win on Saturday against Tennessee is only going to help bolster their confidence.They've got a relatively short prep time to get ready for the Florida Gators though, and this matchup isn't a great one for them on paper....
Playing on the road in the Big Ten is going to be a nightmare for a number of top teams this year. The Maryland Terrapins have already won their first two road tests, albeit particularly tough battles, but this might be the game they trip up against the Michigan Wolverines.You can bet on college basketball odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season....
Indiana's Yogi Ferrell is licking his lips for this matchup with Ohio State. The Hoosier scored 26 and shot 9-for-16 from the floor last season in Indiana' 82-70 loss. The Hoosiers will be looking for revenge as they host Ohio State this time around....
In his first visit to Coral Gables as a freshman last season, Florida State's Xavier Rathan-Mayes put on a ridiculous performance by scoring 30 points in a span of 4:38. His performance dulled the fact that the Seminoles lost the game. What can we expect in an encore? Maybe a FSU win this time?...
The Baylor Bears are just a different team away from Waco, Tex. They've lost their three road games against opponents ranked in the top 25 when they played them by 54 points combined. They face another road challenge Saturday against No. 13 Iowa State. The Bears must prove they can handle the road in Big 12 play....
After a nine-game hiatus Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim will be back on the sideline for the first time since Dec. 5. The Orange will need more than just their 71-year-old coach to knock off North Carolina. The preseason ACC favorites remain a top contender with an offense that can light up the scoreboard....
Rivalries in collegiate sports mean everything. In the case of the Duke Blue Devils and North Carolina Tar Heels, these teams have met in so many major battles on the hardwood determining conference supremacy and local bragging rights. Most years, these two teams are both potentially headed for top seeds in the NCAA Tournament, this year might not be an exception to that rule....
Jim Boeheim is back. Of the nine games he was suspended for, the Syracuse Orange were beaten five times, and they went from a surefire NCAA Tournament team to one which is suddenly staring an 0-4 ACC record in the face on Saturday. The North Carolina Tar Heels are headed up to the Carrier Dome, and though they have superior talent and could be one of the best teams in the land, the task for them surely won't be easy in what will be an emotional night....
In the one-and-done era of college basketball, seeing superstars go into combat with one another in the NCAA Tournament is what we live for. Just a week ago, it seemed as though the tourney would go on without Ben Simmons and the LSU Tigers. However, after the Bayou Bengals took out both Vanderbilt and Kentucky in successive games, it now looks like they're ready to strap on their dancing shoes. Saturday's game against the Florida Gators though, could be a massive trap....
Everybody wants to see future NBA lottery pick Ben Simmons play. There is no other reason for a pair of 9-5 teams to be on national television. But LSU’s fantastic frosh won’t be the only one on the court Saturday. Florida’s KeVaughn Allen is pretty darn good and the pair should put on a show that fans in Gainesville will get one chance to witness....
The freshly-minted No. 3 team in the country will face its biggest test of the season on Saturday. It's not Maryland's visit to Madison, though that should be challenging enough, rather the Terrapins could be without the Big Ten Preseason Player of the Year after Melo Trimble sat out the second half Tuesday with a hamstring injury....
Last season, these two teams met with the defenses winning the day as the Tigers took the victory, 54-53. Defense is a big part of both teams' games again this season. The Huskies shot just 27.8 percent from the floor in that one, so look for improvement there as it's the Tigers who are shooting well below average on the young season....
Neither the Auburn Tigers nor the Missouri Tigers are really headed anywhere this year, but both teams will feel like playing against the other will provide an opportunity to get a relatively rare conference win this Saturday....
The Kentucky Wildcats clearly have a big problem right now. They've played two legitimate road games this year and have lost them both, the most recent of which against LSU was a romp from the get go. Theoretically, Saturday's game against the Alabama Crimson Tide should result in a nice rebound, but with the way things are going in Lexington right now, you just don't know....
The Oregon Ducks probably envisioned starting 2016 off on a better foot than they got onto on Sunday night. They were held to their worst offensive half and worst offensive game of the season against Oregon State, and they could find the sledding equally tough against what is turning into a really stingy California Golden Bears defense....
Things are really going to have to break the SEC's way to get more than three or so teams in the NCAA Tournament. The Florida Gators think they're going to have a shot to dance, but games like these against the Tennessee Volunteers on the road in conference play are landmines which are tough to avoid....
The Michigan State Spartans got off to a tough start to the Big Ten season when they were thrashed by Iowa and tested by Minnesota. They won't be the No. 1 ranked team in the land when they take on the Illinois Fighting Illini on Thursday, but that shouldn't stop them from getting back to their dominant ways.You can bet on college basketball odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season....
