College Basketball Picks for January 26th
Posted by deaconcat08 on January 26, 2010
I don’t plan on putting tips out there everyday for college bball, but when I get enough time I’ll throw a couple of games out there I like. I’m also going to keep track of my overall record (as long as it remains respectable), just to see if I can match my basketball success. These spreads are based on the current lines according to the World Sports Exchange, and they are ordered from most confident to least confident.
Kentucky (-6.5) vs. South Carolina- If the Cats play anything like they did against the Hogs, then they should win this one by 40. The Colonial Center isn’t exactly an intimidating place to play.
North Carolina (-1.0) vs. NC State- On the other hand, The RBC Center can be a difficult place to play, as NC State has a pension for pulling off home upsets against unfocused opposition. However, UNC needs this win, and unlike past seasons, they will not be overlooking the Pack here.
Northwestern (+11.0) vs. Minnesota- A matchup between two NIT teams on the outskirts of the Big Dance bubble. Minnesota has lost 3 in a row, while the Wildcats come in off of a huge victory over Illinois. Give the Gophers the advantage since they are playing at home, but this game should be closer than the 11 point spread.
Going will all roadies tonight. We’ll see what happens.
