This is the last full Saturday college basketball menu of the regular season. Conference tournament season begins Monday.
VSiN’s Steve Makinen put together a special College Basketball Analytics Report loaded with late-season systems, revenge angles, rematch data and conference-specific trends, along with the games that qualify.

With that much information on the board, I needed help.
So I ran Steve’s data through ChatGPT and asked it to identify the three spots where the most angles collide — conference trends, revenge systems, rematch history and late-season profiles all pointing in the same direction.
The robot spit out this:
🥇 Clemson (+1.5) vs. Louisville
Clemson checks nearly every late-season box:
• 20-8 SU, 16-11 ATS in this stretch
• 13-2 SU, 11-3 ATS at home late
• Strong rematch profile
Louisville? One of the worst late-season road teams in the database.
Yes, the Cardinals have covered six straight in this series. But when small-sample rivalry trends collide with eight years of structural data, I’ll take the bigger sample.
🥈 Tennessee (-4.5) vs. Alabama
Alabama lands in one of the weaker revenge and follow-up profiles in Steve’s database. Tennessee, meanwhile, fits the late-season defensive mold that typically travels well in March.
🥉 Over 167.5 Arkansas–Florida
The SEC has been an Over machine in late-season games, especially when totals climb north of 150. Conference-wide trends plus team-specific scoring profiles both point toward pace.
Now, one minor concern with this whole experiment:
ChatGPT keeps referring to itself in the first person.
I guess I will put aside my AI-takes-over-the-world concerns for now — especially if it goes 3-0.
The Angle and more college basketball
I certainly got a lot of questions about yesterday’s newsletter and “The Angle.”
The main question about Luke DiVasta‘s 38-10 betting system: Where can I find it?

(FYI: There were no plays Friday, but there are three for today.)
Greg Peterson breaks down the full Saturday college basketball slate with a mix of underdogs, pace-based Totals and situational edges. From Virginia-Duke at noon ET to Grand Canyon-Utah State late night, Peterson’s numbers point to value beyond the market in several high-profile matchups.
