Men’s and Women’s College Basketball Best Bets:
Welcome back to another week of marathon that is the college basketball season, which can seem twice as daunting (or exciting) when you’re involved on both the women’s and men’s side of college hoops. There is just a three-game slate on the women’s side tonight, and not much better on the men’s, but nonetheless, I’ve got you covered with projections for them all. Hopefully we can find some diamonds in the rough on this miniature slate today, which will make up for the lack of quantity of games on tap
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 and bets, with the lines currently available as of Monday morning:
