Men’s and Women’s College Basketball Best Bets:
Fridays in college hoops really just serve as an appetizer for the larger weekend slates that ensue, so I will include both men’s and women’s basketball projections in today’s piece to try to help maximize the limited offerings in each market.
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 for both men’s and women’s games:
