College Basketball Best Bets — Tuesday, Nov. 21

The Zips sustained their first loss of the season to Utah State, but it was a commendable performance against a formidable opponent. Notably, Akron is once again an underdog by a slight margin in their upcoming game, despite showing potential. The Zips’ proficiency in landing 3-pointers will play a crucial role in their return to the win column, considering their recent success in this area. Additionally, Akron possesses the defensive prowess to counter the Bulldogs and limit their scoring opportunities. Therefore, a wager on Akron to win outright seems justified.

Pick: Akron +115 (Play to +100)

New Hampshire is our preferred pick at present. The Wildcats have made noticeable improvements under new coach Nathan Davis, with a strong emphasis on pushing the pace and bolstering their offense. Their performance in a recent game was deceptive, given their below-par stats. On the other hand, the Red Foxes of Marist seem to be overrated, having lost their prominent scorer from the previous season. Consequently, considering all factors, we favor New Hampshire over Marist in this matchup.

Pick: New Hampshire -3.5 (Play to -4.5)

By D.J. James

Alabama A&M vs. Auburn appears to be a one-sided affair, with the Tigers expected to dominate the Bulldogs. Auburn possesses a formidable defense, enabling them to maintain control of the game’s tempo and thwart their opponents’ scoring efforts. Additionally, offensive and defensive rebounding statistics enhance Auburn’s edge, making a compelling argument for a bet favoring Auburn to maintain a sizable lead over Alabama A&M for the majority of the game.

Pick: Under 152.5 (Play to 150)

By John Feltman

The impending showdown between Marquette and Kansas is anticipated to be an enthralling contest, highlighting two exceptionally potent offenses. However, Marquette’s defensive capabilities and their proficiency in protecting the ball may tip the scales in their favor. Notably, Kansas’ dependence on three-point shooting is concerning, as is their inability to force turnovers. Consequently, we lean towards a pick in favor of Marquette to put on a strong display against Kansas.

Pick: Marquette +4.5 (Play to +3.5)
