2024 college basketball best bets: Legendary Vegas expert reveals Big Ten, ACC, C-USA, Pac-12 picks for Friday
NCAA conference tournament week continues with an intriguing slate of games. Ohio State is set to battle Illinois and Indiana will square off with Nebraska in the Big Ten Tournament (see more college basketball lines here), and one of SportsLine's top NCAA basketball experts has picks for both games and more on Friday.
Before making any college basketball bets on those games or others, be sure to see what legendary handicapper Bruce Marshall has to say.Â
For years Vegas-based Marshall was synonymous with The Gold Sheet, the famed sports betting newsletter. With a background in play-by-play work and sports information while in college, Bruce joined TGS in 1981 when hired by the legendary Mort Olshan and served as executive editor for many years. Marshall now supplies his unique and colorful brand of football and basketball analysis to SportsLine members.Â
An in-demand guest on numerous sports talk radio and TV shows across the country, Bruce's vast array of editorial work has been featured in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the New York Post and many other outlets. He has won various handicapping titles and also is working on several book projects.
Now he's studied the college basketball schedule for March 15 and used his Tech Corner technique to break down every matchup.
One thing we can tell you: Marshall is backing Western Kentucky to cover against Middle Tennessee State in the C-USA Tournament. "The intriguing threat is 6-10 junior forward Jared Coleman-Jones, who does a little of everything, scoring 11.2 ppg and leading the Blue Raiders in rebounds at 7.6 pg. But MTSU was also drilled by 23 vs. WKU in the first meeting on Feb. 3 when Don McHenry scored 22, as the Tops blew the Blue Raiders out of Diddle Arena with a 50-27 eruption in the second half. "
Marshall has evaluated other matchups and also has plays for NC State-Virginia and Arizona-Oregon! You ABSOLUTELY need to see what it is before making any college basketball picks.Â
