Men’s and Women’s College Basketball Best Bets:
We split our best bets yesterday, which by my count was the first “losing” day we’ve had in two full weeks. It was bound to happen. Back on the horse today, though, and with yet another small women’s slate, we’ll focus on men’s hoops again to look to start another streak.
Reminder on how to read the projections: If the spread is a positive number, that indicates the team on the left (Home, unless neutral site) is favored by TSI. If the spread is a negative, that indicates the team on the right (Away, unless neutral side) is favored by TSI. TSI total is the projected number of combined points in the game.
Here are today’s projections:
