Providence Friars vs. Villanova Wildcats
- When: Tuesday, March 1st, 2022. 6:30pm ET
- Where: Finneran Pavilion, Villanova, PA/li>
- NCAAB Betting Odds: TBA
Providence has lost just 3 games this year. 1 of the losses happened at home to Villanova. The Friars know they must prove they can beat the Wildcats if they hope to gain anything better than a 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Villanova wants to show Providence that heading into the Big East Tournament, Nova is the team to beat. Expect Jay Wright’s squad to step it up on Tuesday. Villanova wins and covers.
NCAAB Betting Pick: Villanova
Michigan State Spartans vs. Ohio State Buckeyes
- When: Thursday, March 3rd, 2022. 7:00pm ET
- Where: Value City Arena, Columbus, OH
- NCAAB Betting Odds: TBA
Michigan State had been in terrible form. The Spartans had gone 1-6 against the spread in their last 7. But on Feb. 26, MSU upset the Purdue Boilermakers 68-65. Still, it will be difficult for Sparty to hang with Ohio State, a team that went 8-2 ATS in their last 10 heading into a Feb. 27 contest versus rival Maryland. The Buckeyes look tough to beat. OSU should also cover the spread.
NCAAB Betting Pick: Ohio State
Arkansas Razorbacks vs. Tennessee Volunteers
- When: Saturday, March 5th, 2022. 12:00pm ET
- Where: Thompson-Boling Arena, Knoxville, TN
- NCAAB Betting Odds: TBA
On Feb. 19, the Razorbacks beat the Vols 58-48. The game happened in Arkansas. So immediately we must upgrade Tennessee’s chances of exacting revenge. The Volunteers head into the week after stunning the Auburn Tigers 67-62 on Feb. 26. Tennessee can play their way into a 3-seed should they beat Georgia on Tuesday and then take down the Razorbacks on Saturday. So expect the Vols to really go after the Razorbacks in this.
NCAAB Betting Pick: Tennessee
Kentucky Wildcats vs. Florida Gators
- When: Saturday, March 5th, 2022. 2:00pm ET
- Where: Exactech Arena at Stephen C. O’Connell Center, Gainesville, FL
- NCAAB Betting Odds: TBA
Florida is 18-11 heading into this week, which means the Gators are on the bubble. A victory over Kentucky should seal the deal. However, the Wildcats fell to Arkansas 75-73 on Feb. 26. Big Blue feels they are a 1-seed in the NCAA Tournament. To secure a 1, Kentucky can’t lose to Florida and must beat Auburn for the SEC Tournament. Coach Cal’s squad accomplishes at least one of those goals on Saturday with a huge win and cover.
NCAAB Betting Pick: Kentucky
Texas Longhorns vs. Kansas Jayhawks
- When: Saturday, March 5th, 2022. 4:00pm ET
- Where: Allen Fieldhouse, Lawrence, KS
- NCAAB Betting Odds: TBA
This past Saturday, Kansas fell to Baylor in Waco. The Jayhawks hope to end their regular season on a winning note when they take on Texas. The Horns beat Kansas in the last head-to-head. But the game happened in Austin. Kansas is a much better team at home. So expect Rock Chalk to grab the win and cover.
NCAAB Betting Pick: Kansas
North Carolina Tar Heels vs. Duke Blue Devils
- When: Saturday, March 5th, 2022. 6:00pm ET
- Where: Cameron Indoor Stadium, Durham, NC
- NCAAB Betting Odds: TBA
Unless the Tar Heels lose to Syracuse on Feb. 28, UNC should have no trouble securing a bid to the NCAA Tournament no matter what happens at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Saturday. To be safe, North Carolina will go all out to beat their biggest ACC rivals. But although the Tar Heels will give it their all, UNC fans shouldn’t get too excited. The last time the Heels faced Duke, the Blue Devils beat them by 20. Duke is playing for a 1-seed. Expect Coach K’s squad to roll to a win and cover.
NCAAB Betting Pick: Duke
