2-1 in Last 3 ARIZ ATS Picks
Analysis:

We’ve got an Arizona revenge spot against Texas Tech, which beat the Wildcats 70-54 in Lubbock back on Jan. 18. And not only has Arizona been playing well recently, but the team is also 10-1 at home this season with the only loss coming to Duke back in November. Texas Tech has played a tough stretch of opponents facing Houston and Baylor in the last week, and now asking them to follow that up with a win in Tucson against a surging Wildcats group seems unrealistic. Look for 7-foot sophomore Henri Veesaar to be a difference maker as he builds upon what’s been a strong couple of performances here in early February.

Analysis:

Duke brings the nation's longest active winning streak (16 games) to Littlejohn Coliseum, which should be absolutely rocking to welcome the current kings of the ACC. And while home court advantage at a place where Duke has lost 2 of its last 3 trips is valuable, so too is Clemson being an old, tough team with the DNA of a squad that can also make it to the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament. This is too many daggum points for a game that should be extremely competitive.

3-2 in Last 5 KANSAS O/U Picks
Analysis:

Kansas State's recent four-game winning streak has brought a lot more intrigue into this chapter of the Sunflower State Showdown, but I think this game will be played on Kansas' terms. And by that I mean it will be another defensive-led, lower scoring game that fits the Jayhawks' season-long profile. The Under is 17-5 in Kansas games this season and 8-1 on the road, and with rivalry stakes I think the trend continues to ride.

3-0 in Last 3 IND ATS Picks
Analysis:

There are a ton of weird vibes around this game as Indiana works through the end of the Mike Woodson era. That’s why I’m going to cut through the noise and back the better team. And even if Indiana’s players give a circle-the-wagons effort for the big stage on CBS, I still think the Wolverines have their own motivation edge as they’re locked into a fierce battle atop the Big Ten standings. Dusty May may be an Indiana alum, but he has no reason to call off the dogs just because their basketball program is in flux.

2-1 in Last 3 STJOHN ATS Picks
Analysis:

Freshman forward Liam McNeeley was a “game-day decision” prior to UConn’s road win at Marquette, so my expectation is that he’ll go for the Huskies in this massive showdown with St. John’s. They’ll also have the advantage of getting this game in Gampel Pavilion, where the Friday night crowd should be absolutely electric in support of the two-time reigning national champs. Rick Pitino has this St. John’s team playing at an elite level defensively and Kadary Richmond has leveled up to be an X-factor in recent weeks, but this is the wrong building and the wrong team to put a nine-game winning streak on the line.

Terrapins
70
@ Buckeyes
73
Analysis:

Maryland blew the doors off Ohio State in early December, winning 83-59 in College Park. Now should the revenge factor be taken into consideration for the Buckeyes, playing at home with some NCAA Tournament bubble implications? Absolutely. So instead of taking the Terps on the spread we'll target their team total, because if Ohio State is going to win this game I think they have to do so in a higher scoring game. Maryland has gone over this number in 9 of 11 conference games and their offense is well-rounded with at least four players scoring in double-digits in each of the last three games.

5-3 in Last 8 ARK ATS Picks
Analysis:

Do we trust Arkansas to maintain what was, on the season, uncharacteristically good shooting against Kentucky? I'm projecting some regression, and the Longhorns have been playing well enough to win handily in the Hogs' letdown spot. Texas got smacked by Florida in Gainesville back on Jan. 18 but otherwise has played solid ball for about a month, especially at home with recent wins against Missouri and Texas A&M. The light is on for Texas freshman Tre Johnson, and I think he leads the way in a win and cover.

Fighting Illini
73
@ Scarlet Knights
82
Analysis:

The return of 7-1 center Tomi Ivisic is a game-changer for Illinois' interior defense, and that's going to be an X-factor going against Ace Bailey and Rutgers. Ivisic has been battling illness for about five games (missing three outright) and it's not a surprise Illinois went 2-3 in that stretch. Now Rutgers has played about everyone close so it's difficult to make a call on the big spread, but it's easy to predict that Brad Underwood's defense will travel and limit Rutgers' efficiency in what is projected to be an up-tempo game.

5-3 in Last 8 TENN ATS Picks
Analysis:

This Missouri team has been playing at a high level for about a month, and it's shown that it can win on the road with victories against Florida in Gainesville and at Mississippi State over the weekend. Tennessee is excellent at home, so we're not putting the Vols on upset alert, but there has been enough inconsistency with their performances to think a surging Tigers team can hang inside the number.

4-0 in Last 4 NWEST ATS Picks
Analysis:

USC is starting to look like one of Eric Musselman's old Nevada teams, utilizing a bunch of new transfer pieces that have started to click into place over the last month. It's a tough turnaround after beating Michigan State on Saturday but any letdown factor is met with Northwestern's own issues. The Wildcats have lost three straight and senior starting forward Brooks Barnhizer has been ruled out for the year. His absence is baked into the line, but when you combine Northwestern's thinning rotation with a USC team that's trending in the right direction I see value on the Trojans.

Analysis:

While Iowa does enjoy one of the best home court advantages in college hoops, the team on that court hasn't been great recently. The Hawkeyes have lost four of their last five, failed to cover in five straight and with the recent loss of Owen Freeman are lacking their their best big man. Meanwhile, Purdue is 8-1 straight up and 7-2 against the spread since the start of 2025.

Analysis:

This is a fantastic MAC rivalry that's been extremely competitive in recent years. And this year not only are both teams playing with a high tempo, but they are both staying ahead of the number when it comes to the total. Ohio is 10-4-1 to the over and Akron is 10-4, thanks in part to offensive efficiency that ranks among the top teams in the MAC.

Analysis:

P.J. Fleck has been an excellent coach in the postseason, boasting a 6-2 overall record in bowl games. He's also got a Minnesota team that was rated better than Virginia Tech during the season and the Hokies are going to be without handfuls of key players that helped them get to 6-6 on the year.

Analysis:

We just saw Penn State trade paint with Oregon in the Big Ten Championship, so they're clearly playing at a high level at the right time. SMU has a slight disadvantage in the trenches on both sides of the ball, and the Mustangs' turnover numbers away from Dallas are concerning.

Analysis:

Indiana has been playing some better basketball in the last couple of weeks, logging double-digit wins against Providence and Minnesota and finally starting to find some consistency with their performances. But one thing they have not done, all season, is play in a true road environment. Fred Hoiberg and the Huskers went undefeated at home in Big Ten play last year, and I think one of the better home court advantages in the conference makes a difference again here on a Friday night.
