College Basketball Gambling Odds from BetOnline

NCAA Basketball Betting Favorite: Wisconsin -9.5

Over/Under: 112

 

The Wisconsin Badgers have had their way with Wisconsin-Milwaukee in the past decade. The teams have met every year, and the Badgers are 10-0. Bo Ryan’s team has two losses this year, but they have come against Marquette and North Carolina. The Badgers tremendous defense and terrific ball control on offensive make them very difficult to beat. Wisconsin-Milwaukee is also off to an impressive 8-2 start, and they would love nothing more than to shock the Badgers on Tuesday night.

Wisconsin has been winning games with their amazing defense this year. Opponents are shooting just 33.5% from the floor this season. Wisconsin is holding opponents to just 44.9 points per game. Jordan Taylor is the Badgers leader at the point guard spot, but he has been struggling shooting the ball so far this year. Taylor does have a very impressive assist to turnover ratio of 57 to 15. Ben Brust barely played last year, but he is the team’s leading scorer at 12.7 per contest this year. The Badgers are a frustrating team to defend because of their patience on offense. This is a very disciplined team that will be a tough out in March.

Wisconsin-Milwaukee is out to prove that they can compete with their intrastate rivals from the Big Ten. The Panthers have been doing it with stellar defense so far this year as well. Opponents are hitting just 25% from beyond the arc. The Panthers are holding opponents to 58.6 points per game. Kaylon Williams, James Haarsma, and Ja’Rob McCallum give the team three players averaging double figures in scoring this year. Wisconsin-Milwaukee has struggled to keep up with the Badgers on the glass in recent matchups, and that is an area that must improve this year.

The posted total is set at a ridiculously low level already, but I still think the under is the play here. Look for the two defenses to control this one. This game might have trouble topping 100 points.

Prediction: Wisconsin 58 Wisconsin-Milwaukee 45

Washington Huskies vs. #11 Marquette Golden Eagles CBB Free Pick

Huskies (4-2) vs #11 Golden Eagles (7-0)

The Washington Huskies are expected to compete for supremacy in the PAC 12 but they haven’t shown us much yet.  They lost some significant contributors from last year, especially in the backcourt, but coach Lorenzo Romar has developed an underappreciated program in the Pacific Northwest.

#10 Tigers (7-0) vs Wildcats (5-2)

The Missouri Tigers are off to a hot start and haven’t been beat yet.  In fact, they haven’t even been challenged, with each victory by at least 15 points.  This team may have a new coach but they are still one of the most aggressive and athletic teams out there.

Vanderbilt vs. No.6 Louisville Free NCAAB Predictions | Betting Preview

NCAA Men’s Basketball Previews – No.19 Commodores vs. No.6 Cardinals

Date/Time: Friday, Dec 2   9 p.m. (ET)
Venue: KFC Yum Center, Louisville, KT.
Broadcast: ESPN
Commodores at Cardinals lines by BetOnline.com
Point spread: Cardinals
Over/Under: OFF

The Vanderbilt Commodores will look to knock the Louisville Cardinals from the ranks of the unbeaten this Friday night when the two teams clash at the KFC Yum Center in this SEC/Big East tilt. This game is set to tip-off at 9 p.m. and it will be broadcast on ESPN.

Vanderbilt is coming off a tough 82-70 overtime loss to No.11 Xavier this past Monday as a four-point home favorite that dropped its record to 5-2 straight-up and 2-3 ATS. The total has stayed ‘under’ in three of the five games with lines.

John Jenkins has been a force for the Commodores with 20.2 point scoring average while logging 34 minutes a game. Lance Goulbourne and Jeffery Taylor have done a good job under the boards with a combined 13.7 rebounds a game. As a whole, Vandy is averaging 75.9 points a game and shooting 45.7 percent from the field. [soliloquy id=”82219″]

Louisville has worked its way up the rankings with a solid 6-0 start SU including a 69-53 win over Butler as a four-point road favorite on Nov.19. The Cardinals have covered the spread in four of their first five games with a posted line and the total has stayed ‘under’ in four of the five games.

Kyle Kuric is averaging 12 points a game and Chris Smith is adding another 10.5, but the real strength of this season’s Cardinals is a smothering defense that is holding its opponents to an average of just 48.3 points a game and 33.2 percent from the field.

Louisville should have its hands full with Jenkins in this one, but stick with the Cardinals’ defense to keep the clamps on him just enough to grind out the win at home.

The Pick: Louisville 66 vs. Vanderbilt 63
