College Basketball Picks for February 23rd
Posted by deaconcat08 on February 23, 2011
The spreads below are from the Sportsbook’s current lines and are ordered based on my personal confidence in each.
Arkansas (+7.0) vs. Kentucky- When will oddsmakers figure out that Kentucky cannot play basketball away from home? They are now 1-5 on the road in SEC play and haven’t covered in any of those 5 losses either. The Hogs should either win this or take it right down to the wire.
Boston College (-3.5) vs. Miami-FL- The Eagles are the better team here with a lot more to play for.
Texas Tech (+1.5) vs. Colorado- The Red Raiders have gotten some big wins at home recently, and I don’t envision the Buffs playing very inspired basketball now that they’re basically played their way off the bubble into the NIT.
Purdue (-5.5) at Indiana- The Boilermakers have played relatively well away from home this year getting wins at Illinois and Virginia Tech. They also beat Indiana by 14 just a few weeks ago, so they should be able to take this one by double-digits.
Florida State (+5.5) at Maryland- I know everyone is predicting an FSU implosion following the loss of Singleton, but I for one think they’ll continue their winning ways without him.
Overall Season Record: 21-21
