Indiana edged Ohio State 66-60, shooting 35.2% but winning the rebounding battle 36-28. Malik Reneau led with 16 points and 5 rebounds. The Hoosiers average 75.2 PPG on 46.2% shooting while allowing 72.0 PPG.

Oregon beat Washington 80-73 behind Nathan Bittle’s 36-point, 12-rebound performance. The Ducks average 76.7 PPG and shoot 45.5%, while holding opponents to 71.2 PPG and 31.5% from deep.

Key factor: Indiana’s rebounding (36.5 RPG) vs. Oregon’s offensive efficiency. If the Hoosiers control the glass, they gain an edge; otherwise, Oregon’s firepower could prove decisive.

Doc's Free Pick: Indiana +2.5

There's an ACC Championship on the line and Duke is eager to prove its reputation of being a March Madness threat isn't exaggerated. Jon Scheyer is leading the top team at KenPom, with the fourth-best defensive rating. Ndongo and his crew are going to be suffocated and this line is just too big for me.

Xavier +1.5
-110

The Musketeers are streaking toward the NCAA tournament, winning seven straight outright and five of those ATS. Marquette enters the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament having dropped six of nine both outright and ATS. The Golden Eagles’ last victory over an opponent likely to make the NCAAs came way back on Jan. 3 against Creighton, and they suffered a two-point home loss to Xavier the last time these teams played.

Z. Freemantle 18+ Pts
-105

The 6-9 Xavier forward has been surging at the end of the season, scoring 23 or more points in each of his last three games. Freemantle gets lots of shots, usually of very high quality—he’s hitting at a 70.2 percent clip over his last three contests—and will be a load for guard-oriented Marquette to handle inside.

Wake Forest allows 8.1 threes per game (246th in the nation) and have let up 7.3 in their last three contests. Against WF earlier this year, Davis dropped 21 points and went 3/9 from deep, hitting this OVER.

Western Michigan edged Bowling Green 64-63, shooting 42.9% while allowing 46.0%. JaVaughn Hannah led with 18 points and 6 rebounds. The Broncos average 72.3 PPG on 42.7% shooting but allow 76.1 PPG.

Kent State defeated Eastern Michigan 76-70 behind Jalen Sullinger’s 18 points. The Golden Flashes average 74.1 PPG on 43.7% shooting while holding opponents to 68.3 PPG.

Key factor: Kent State’s defense (68.3 PPG allowed) vs. Western Michigan’s inconsistent shooting. If the Golden Flashes force turnovers, they should control the game.

Going up against them twice this season, the Longino is familiar with the Huskies. So, he knows they're the 10th best defense when it comes to assists allowed. UConn gives up just 10.2 assists per game, which explains why Longino has only recorded one in each of his two games vs the Huskies this season.

The Tigers have quietly amassed the fifth-best ATS rate in the country among major-conference teams, thanks to a late-season run that’s seen them win eight straight outright and 12 of 16 ATS. SMU’s rout of Syracuse in the ACC first round marked just its second cover in its last seven games, a stretch that includes a 10-point home loss to Clemson as a 1.5-point underdog on Feb. 22.

Clemson O 74.5 Pts

The Tigers averaged 75.7 points per game against ACC opponents during the regular season, eclipsing the 75-point mark five times in their final eight contests entering the conference tournament. That includes a 79-point effort Feb. 22 at SMU, which allowed each of its final seven opponents in the regular season to score 73 points or more.

Free NCAAB Computer Picks & College Basketball Predictions

Our computer picks table uses a variety of variables such as a team’s recent play, home/away splits, injuries and the betting odds for each game for its predictions. The table displays how our computer picks have fared over the past 100 games of the college basketball season. Our computer’s algorithm picks the moneyline, spread, and total winner for each NCAAB game.

How to Use NCAAB Computer Picks

Before making your NCAAB picks, refer to our college basketball computer picks to see a predicted score for each matchup. You can also gauge whether or not our computer picks heavily favors a side or total in the game. Our college basketball computer picks can even provide value when you’re targeting an underdog. Further research can be done using our college basketball betting trends.

If you like a heavy favorite, but our computer picks believe it will be close game, you may want to do some further research before placing your college basketball bets. As you can see above, as things stand the table has been unprofitable on both moneyline and spread betting in the last 100 college basketball games. However, our computer picks have been extremely profitable when predicting totals of late, as $100 bettors would be up $599 when betting on our last 100 totals picks.

Moneyline

Betting on the college basketball moneyline is simple. You’re choosing which team you believe will win the contest. The NCAAB moneyline is a bet that includes the odds to win each contest. The favorite will be denoted by a (-), while the underdog will be labeled with a (+) symbol.

You may see a college basketball moneyline displayed like this:

TeamMoneyline Odds
Duke-110
North Carolina+120

In this instance you’d have to bet $110 on Duke to win $100, while a bet on North Carolina would pay out $120 plus your original $100 wager should the Tar Heels win the game.

Spread

A college basketball point spread is a wager on the margin of victory. A spread is the sportsbooks attempt to level the playing field of uneven matchups.

The favorite in every contest will be marked with a (-) along of the number of points they need to win by in order to cash your bet. The underdog will be a labeled with (+) sign and the number of points they need to avoid losing by.

A college basketball spread could look something like this:

TeamSpread
Duke-3 (-110)
North Carolina+3 (+120)

Here, the Duke Blue Devils would need to win by more than three points to cash your college basketball bet against the spread. While the North Carolina Tar Heels simply need to win, or lose by less than three points to cover the spread. The number in parentheses denotes the amount you have to wager to make $100.

Total

A total bet, sometimes called the OVER/UNDER is the total amount of points sportsbooks believe both teams will combine for in the game. Since college basketball games are shorter, and teams don't employ players like Steph Curry, you'll notice college basketball totals are often far shorter than NBA lines.

A college basketball total may look like this:

TeamTotal
Duke OVER 142 (-110)
North Carolina UNDER 142 (-110)

In this rivalry game Duke and North Carolina would have to combine for OVER 142 points for the OVER to hit.

You'd need to bet $110 on the OVER to receive a payout of $100. Conversely, if the game ends with a score of UNDER 142 total points, your bet loses. That same $110 bet would payout $100. Our Odds Calculator can give you a better idea of how much you'd win based on the amount wagered.
