Men’s and Women’s College Basketball Best Bets:

Welcome back to the daily edition of men’s and women’s college basketball projections, courtesy of my proprietary ratings system, the T Shoe Index (TSI). As a reminder, TSI is an opponent-adjusted and tempo-adjusted ratings system that utilizes several key performance metrics to rate teams and project results for every matchup across the sport. If you’re new to women’s college basketball betting, oftentimes the lines are posted much closer to tip-off and therefore bets aren’t able to be made at the time of writing this morning article, so be sure to follow me on X @TShoeIndex to get my women’s plays. Here are today’s college basketball projections and bets:
