Men's College Basketball Odds and Bets: Gonzaga, Kentucky and Texas Headline Top 25 Weekend Matchups
Basketball odds and betting for men's colleges: Gonzaga and Kentucky Headline Top 25 Weekend Matchups
Only 23 days until Selection Sunday! Sports bettors should now focus on the last few weeks of NCAA Men’s college basketball's regular-season.
Saturday's slate provides bettors solid investment opportunities. This includes a SEC matchup with ranked rivals and an in-state contest in the Big 12 as part of the No. One team from the country will put their 15-game winning streak up against a West Coast foe.
Since opening, the line has held firm in favor No. 4 Kentucky (21-5 straightup -SU, 12-14 against the spread-ATS) is 7.5-point home favourite over No. SI Sportsbook offers 25 Alabama (17-9 US, 9-17-1 AT)
The Crimson Tide will be heading to Lexington with a three-game winning streak. However, Alabama hasn't been financially rewarding for bettors since the beginning of 2022. Since January 1, the Tide are 3-9-1 ATS and have only covered once during their winning streak.
Alabama is third in the SEC for three pointers made (245), while they are third in scoring offense (80.4). The Crimson Tide heavily rely on a backcourt that includes Jaden Shackelford (17.1 ppg), Jahvon Querly (14.2-ppg), and Keon Ellis (11.1 mg).
Alabama will need to win the match against Kentucky, where Shackleford is the leader in three-pointers made in the SEC (78). Shackelford shot 0-7 outside the arc in the matchup against Kentucky and was the largest source of futility in an game where the Tide shot a terrible 3-30 from deep. It was this that made Alabama lose 66 to 55 against Wildcats in their 1.5-point home favorite matchup.
Kentucky will return home to Rupp Arena in the familiar surroundings of Kentucky, where they are a perfect 15-0. Despite being 10-2 in their 12 last games, the Wildcats' record hasn't translated into winnings at the betting windows. The club has only posted a paltry 5-5 ATS mark over that time.
The Wildcats lost their six-game winning streak on Tuesday against No. 16 Tennessee will face Alabama in the SEC clash two games behind No. 1 Auburn Tigers. Kentucky is a coin flip at Rupp Arena, with a 7-7 record in 15 home games.
Kentucky is led by Oscar Tshiebwe, a junior forward (16.2 ppg), and rebounding (15.3rpg). Tshiebwe is a doubledouble machine, having accomplished the feat in 20 games of 26 this season. Kentucky, which is also the betting favourite for the Naismith Trophy in Tshiebwe has a lot of faith in TyTy Washington, the projected NBA lottery pick. Basketball betting
