Go Columbia!

There’s not much basketball action tonight, and even less that is interesting. Taking a day off is bad for karma, though, so there’s one game I think is worth a look tonight.
Harvard (+7) at Columbia - I like Columbia here for several reasons:

They beat Harvard by nine on the road two weeks ago.
They are an […]

Friday college action

The action on Friday night is a slim as we would expect, but there is one game that is interesting and which provides a decent amount of value in my mind.
Davidson (-3) at Winthrop - Off the top I’ll say that I like Davidson here. The Wildcats are playing well, especially on the road, and […]

The biggest college basketball game of the year

I normally don’t write about a college basketball game three days in advance, but then again I’m normally not this excited about one regular season college basketball game. I have had the Memphis-Tennessee game circled on my calendar for months. I was pretty sure that it was going to be a good one when I […]

Indiana proves you can rarely guess motivation

The fun thing about sports betting is that you never know what is going to happen. Coincidentally, that is also the frustrating thing. Indiana is a perfect and truly fascinating example.
For those that missed it, Indiana has been in turmoil for more than a week now. It basically boils down to this - head coach […]

President’s day hoops

There are four games in tonight’s holiday college basketball action that stand out for me as providing some value:
Xavier (+2.5) at Rhode Island - Xavier has struggled a bit lately, but they have still won seven in a row even if the margin hasn’t been as big as it could be. This is a […]

Saturday college games I like

As is usual, there are a million college games this weekend. Here are the five that stick out as the best values on Saturday:
Louisville (-5.5) at Providence -  I love how Louisville is laying, I think that they match up well here, and I think that Rick Pitino gets a little more fired up than […]

College basketball futures

As I was writing about NBA Championship futures for a client this morning I found myself thinking that NCAA Futures were way more interesting. Maybe that’s because the tournament is much closer than the NBA playoffs, or maybe that’s because college basketball is about a million times more interesting than the NBA. Either way, there […]

Saturday’s intriguing basketball games

Key Saturday games. As I write this it is Friday afternoon, so there are no lines out for Saturday’s games. There are, however, several games of interest that I will be keeping a close eye on when the lines come out. Here’s the cream of them:

Boston College at Duke - If the price is right […]

LSU just broke my heart

Now that football is over here, our focus here will shift in other directions. We’ll hit lots of sports along the way, but college basketball will likely get the most attention over the next six weeks or so.
Which brings me to an announcement of great sadness - coach John Brady has been fired by LSU. […]
