There might not be a more vexing team in the nation than the UCLA Bruins. They looked so darn good against Kentucky and Gonzaga in huge upsets, but then they have moments like they had last week when they were beaten on the road as favorites against both Washington and Washington State, allowing nearly 200 total points in the process of those performances....
Road games are always tricky propositions in college basketball, particularly in conference play. The Louisville Cardinals have already played games at Michigan State and Kentucky, but neither one was won. Games against teams like the North Carolina State Wolfpack are expected to be won, but the challenge will understandably be tough....
The Indiana Hoosiers are streaking, as they've won seven games in a row, including their first two offerings on the road of the Big Ten season. They'll come back to Assembly Hall for the first time since before Christmas on Tuesday night, and the Wisconsin Badgers should provide a reasonable test....
The SEC isn't the greatest conference in the country, but when the LSU Tigers take on the Kentucky Wildcats, it'll be can't miss viewing for college hoops fans simply due to the fact that the best player in America, Ben Simmons will try to take on what is perceived to be one of the best teams in the land....
It isn't always the case, but records in non-conference play often lie, and sometimes, they lie badly. That's the case with the Oklahoma State Cowboys, who are 9-4 at this point but probably won't even finish with a .500 record on the season. They haven't played a legitimate road game this season, and their first taste of away life is going to come on Tuesday against the Baylor Bears, not exactly the foes you want to be seeing in your first go-around of the season on an enemy's court....
It's going to be one heck of a stretch of 50 hours or so for the Oklahoma Sooners and the Kansas Jayhawks. Both teams are starting off their Big XII seasons on Saturday against ranked teams, but on Monday, they're going to have to face off with one another in a major Top 5 battle to kick off the new year.You can bet on college basketball odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season....
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have failed to cover their last three games of the non-conference season, and that probably isn't a good sign going into ACC play. The first task might be the toughest for any team this year. The Virginia Cavaliers might have the best home court advantage in the conference, and that's who the Irish have to go against on Saturday.You can bet on college basketball odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season....
Ben Simmons is arguably the best player in college basketball, but he really doesn't have all that much of a team around him. The LSU Tigers are going to need to go on a real tear to get into the NCAA Tournament this year, and winning a road game against the Vanderbilt Commodores is really a must.You can bet on college basketball odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season....
The Cavaliers and Hokies match up in an ACC battle for the state of Virginia with the Cavs ranked No. 5 in the nation and the Hokies searching for the upset at home where they’ve won three straight and are 6-2 SU for the season....

He got himself into trouble and eventually got fired, but now, he's back in the SEC with the Auburn Tigers and would love nothing more than to spoil his old team's start to the conference season on Saturday.You can bet on college basketball odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season....
Is this the year that the Gonzaga Bulldogs take a bit of a step back in the WCC? They haven't let go of their vice grip on this conference for well over a decade at this point, but this team feels like it might be at least a bit vulnerable. The San Francisco Dons aren't great, but they've challenged the Zags before successfully and know what they're getting into in their biggest conference game of the season at home on Saturday night....
No. 7 North Carolina hosts Clemson in the ACC opener, and the high-scoring Tar Heels are expected to roll, but Clemson’s slow pace could keep them from reaching their season average of 86 points per game which ranks No. 5 in the country. Clemson enters on a downer having lost two straight and three of its last four; all too SEC opponents....
Big Ten play begins and Michigan is expected to push top contenders Michigan State, Maryland and Indiana. The Wolverines are 10-3 and finished 8-10 in Big Ten play last season following a national championship game appearance in 2013. Illinois enters conference play at 8-5 and the Illini were 9-9 in Big Ten play a year ago.Injuries are impacting the Illini's performances and new rotations, and more scoring is anticipated in this opening conference game....
Have fun with this start to the Big Ten season. The Penn State Nittany Lions have to kick off conference play with two road games, both of which will see them lined as double-digit dogs for sure. The first of the two is against the Maryland Terrapins on Wednesday, and that comes leading into a game in Ann Arbor on Saturday....
A road game against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights is one of these no-win scenarios for the Indiana Hoosiers. This is a game which is expected to be won, but going on the road is always tough. At least IU will get the benefit of getting its first Big Ten road game out of the way in the middle of the day and in the middle of the week all before the students come back to Piscataway from the winter break....
The Syracuse Orange and Pittsburgh Panthers are used to playing against each other, first as rivals from the Big East and now as ACC foes. Both of these teams seem like they're going to be bound for the tourney this year, but a good start in conference play for both is crucial as we finish up the calendar year....
After Christmas, the Huskies head to Texas for their first true road game of the season to oppose the Longhorns. Texas has won six straight home games, but are just 2-3 ATS on its home court.You can bet the college basketball odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season....
It's traditional for the Florida Gators and the Florida State Seminoles to play each other towards the end of their non-conference dockets. In this case, both are playing their last non-conference games of the year on Tuesday in what could end up being a heck of a showdown....
The Florida Gators might have an 8-3 record heading into their last non-conference game of the year against the Florida State Seminoles, but they haven't really beaten anyone yet this year with a legitimate chance to get into the NCAA Tournament. That could all change if they can snare this win on Tuesday over their arch rivals from Tallahassee....
The Golden Bears finally got back in the win column ATS on Saturday and will look to build off that with another win on Tuesday, but the competition will be tough against the No. 9 ranked Virginia Cavaliers....
The Iowa State Cyclones were ranked in the Top 5 in the land entering last week, and many believed they had a legitimate claim to being ranked No. 1. That won't be the case now that they've been knocked from the ranks of the unbeatens following a loss against Northern Iowa.Now, they could be staring a second straight defeat in the face when they visit the Cincinnati Bearcats....
