Villanova Wildcats vs. Providence Friars
- When: Tuesday, February 14th, 2022. 8:00pm ET
- Where: Dunkin Donuts Center, Providence, RI/li>
- NCAAB Betting Odds: Villanova -4
Nova is on a 3-match winning streak. The Wildcats have beaten Connecticut, St. John’s and Seton Hall. On Tuesday, though, Jay Wright’s team plays the Big East’s best. Providence has a 21-2 record. The Friars beat Villanova 54-52 in the last head-to-head. But that the game happened in 2021. Give Nova a shot to win this straight up.
NCAAB Betting Pick: Villanova
Baylor Bears vs. Texas Tech Red Raiders
- When: Wednesday, February 15th, 2022. 7:00pm ET
- Where: Moody Coliseum, Dallas, TX
- NCAAB Betting Odds: TBA
Baylor appears to have gotten over the embarrassing 83-59 loss to Kansas on Feb. 5. Since the loss, the Bears have won 2 straight, 75-60 against Kansas State and 80-63 over Texas. On Wednesday, Baylor faces a team that bested them 65-62 in the last head-to-head. Texas Tech has won 4-of-5. More impressively, Tech has gone 8-2 ATS in their last 10. Give the Red Raiders the nod to win and cover.
NCAAB Betting Pick: Texas Tech
Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Kentucky Wildcats
- When: Saturday, February 19th, 2022. 1:00pm ET
- Where: Rupp Arena, Lexington, KY
- NCAAB Betting Odds: TBA
The 16-9 Tide can’t afford to lose many more games. The upset win against Gonzaga impresses for sure, but it happened a while ago. Bama faces one of the hottest teams in the nation on Saturday. Kentucky has won 6 straight. During the streak, the Wildcats are just 3-3 ATS. Going further back, Kentucky is 3-5 ATS in their last 8. Bama covers.
NCAAB Betting Pick: Alabama
Illinois Fighting Illini vs. Michigan State Spartans
- When: Saturday, February 19th, 2022. 12:00pm ET
- Where: Breslin Center, East Lansing, MI
- NCAAB Betting Odds: TBA
Like every season, the Big Ten is the deepest conference in NCAAM. Illinois has won 5-of-6 with the lone loss happening versus Purdue. On Feb. 12, Michigan State ended a 2-match losing streak with a 76-61 win versus the Indiana Hoosiers. Sparty had lost to Rutgers and Wisconsin in their previous 2 games. Michigan State looks tough to beat, but Illinois might be the better team. Give the Illini a shot to win and cover.
NCAAB Betting Pick: Illinois
Oregon Ducks vs. Arizona Wildcats
- When: Saturday, February 19th, 2022. 10:00pm ET
- Where: McKale Center, Tucson, AZ
- NCAAB Betting Odds: TBA
The Cats are rolling. Since a 75-59 loss to UCLA on Jan. 25, U-of-A has won 6 straight and has gone 4-1 against the spread in their last 5. Oregon fell to Cal in their last and is on an 0-3 ATS streak to start the week. The Wildcats should have no trouble winning and covering the spread.
NCAAB Betting Pick: Arizona
Michigan Wolverines vs. Wisconsin Badgers
- When: Sunday, February 20th, 2022. 1:00pm ET
- Where: Kohl Center, Madison, WI
- NCAAB Betting Odds: TBA
Michigan has disappointed this season. But although the Wolverines haven’t played great basketball, Wisconsin could be in for a rude awakening on Sunday. The Badgers are just 1-6 ATS int heir last 7. Michigan should keep this close enough to win against the spread. If you’re feeling lucky, consider the Wolverines’ moneyline.
NCAAB Betting Pick: Michigan
