College Basketball Picks

The Tennessee Volunteers and the Kentucky Wildcats will go at it this afternoon at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville Tennessee. Both teams need the win, but who needs it more may be the difference maker in picking a winner. Prognosticator Matt Lowry looks at the game and gives out his prediction on who will advance and cover.

Duke won the earlier match-up in Tallahassee by just two as a -7 point road favorite. The Seminoles owned them on the board on their home court, but will they be able to do the same tonight when they play the Blue Devils on a neutral court. Read on to get Matt Lowry’s ATS prediction.

The Wisconsin Badgers meet the Michigan State Spartans in a Big Ten tournament semi-final game tipping off at 1 PM ET. The odds board lists Michigan State as a -4.5 point spread favorite with the total line posted at 129.5 points. MSU took the earlier match-up on the road back in early February 67-59. Can they get the win and money this time around? Get Matt’s pick against the spread.

Despite winning the game, the Seminoles shot poorly against the Hokies, posting 38.6% from the field and 38.7% from behind the arc. Whether the Seminoles focus on scoring in the paint or shooting mid to long range jumpers, shooting percentage will obviously play a huge role. The Seminoles shot very poorly against the Cavs in the regular season and Florida State knows they must breakthrough this stifling defense if they are going to hang around. Can a slightly above average shooting game keep FSU within the bookmaker’s spread of +9? Matt gives his prediction.

Alabama met Kentucky once this season and beat them on their home floor. Before that one win by Alabama, the Wildcats had previously won 9 consecutive meetings with the Tide. Matt breaks down what made up that Bama win and if they can do it again. Read his college hoops prediction.
