Men’s and Women’s College Basketball Best Bets:
After a day of just a couple leans (one of which got obliterated – thank goodness they weren’t best bets), we are back at it with a decent Tuesday slate on the men’s side and another slate on the women’s side that could hardly even be considered an appetizer, more like an hors d’oeuvres. I’ve got a few plays on the men’s side for you today.
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:
