Old School Meets New School
The Baylor Bears are just a different team away from Waco, Tex. They've lost their three road games against opponents ranked in the top 25 when they played them by 54 points combined. They face another road challenge Saturday against No. 13 Iowa State. The Bears must prove they can handle the road in Big 12 play....
After a nine-game hiatus Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim will be back on the sideline for the first time since Dec. 5. The Orange will need more than just their 71-year-old coach to knock off North Carolina. The preseason ACC favorites remain a top contender with an offense that can light up the scoreboard....
Rivalries in collegiate sports mean everything. In the case of the Duke Blue Devils and North Carolina Tar Heels, these teams have met in so many major battles on the hardwood determining conference supremacy and local bragging rights. Most years, these two teams are both potentially headed for top seeds in the NCAA Tournament, this year might not be an exception to that rule....
Jim Boeheim is back. Of the nine games he was suspended for, the Syracuse Orange were beaten five times, and they went from a surefire NCAA Tournament team to one which is suddenly staring an 0-4 ACC record in the face on Saturday. The North Carolina Tar Heels are headed up to the Carrier Dome, and though they have superior talent and could be one of the best teams in the land, the task for them surely won't be easy in what will be an emotional night....
In the one-and-done era of college basketball, seeing superstars go into combat with one another in the NCAA Tournament is what we live for. Just a week ago, it seemed as though the tourney would go on without Ben Simmons and the LSU Tigers. However, after the Bayou Bengals took out both Vanderbilt and Kentucky in successive games, it now looks like they're ready to strap on their dancing shoes. Saturday's game against the Florida Gators though, could be a massive trap....
Everybody wants to see future NBA lottery pick Ben Simmons play. There is no other reason for a pair of 9-5 teams to be on national television. But LSU’s fantastic frosh won’t be the only one on the court Saturday. Florida’s KeVaughn Allen is pretty darn good and the pair should put on a show that fans in Gainesville will get one chance to witness....
The freshly-minted No. 3 team in the country will face its biggest test of the season on Saturday. It's not Maryland's visit to Madison, though that should be challenging enough, rather the Terrapins could be without the Big Ten Preseason Player of the Year after Melo Trimble sat out the second half Tuesday with a hamstring injury....
Last season, these two teams met with the defenses winning the day as the Tigers took the victory, 54-53. Defense is a big part of both teams' games again this season. The Huskies shot just 27.8 percent from the floor in that one, so look for improvement there as it's the Tigers who are shooting well below average on the young season....
Neither the Auburn Tigers nor the Missouri Tigers are really headed anywhere this year, but both teams will feel like playing against the other will provide an opportunity to get a relatively rare conference win this Saturday....
The Kentucky Wildcats clearly have a big problem right now. They've played two legitimate road games this year and have lost them both, the most recent of which against LSU was a romp from the get go. Theoretically, Saturday's game against the Alabama Crimson Tide should result in a nice rebound, but with the way things are going in Lexington right now, you just don't know....
The Oregon Ducks probably envisioned starting 2016 off on a better foot than they got onto on Sunday night. They were held to their worst offensive half and worst offensive game of the season against Oregon State, and they could find the sledding equally tough against what is turning into a really stingy California Golden Bears defense....
Things are really going to have to break the SEC's way to get more than three or so teams in the NCAA Tournament. The Florida Gators think they're going to have a shot to dance, but games like these against the Tennessee Volunteers on the road in conference play are landmines which are tough to avoid....
The Michigan State Spartans got off to a tough start to the Big Ten season when they were thrashed by Iowa and tested by Minnesota. They won't be the No. 1 ranked team in the land when they take on the Illinois Fighting Illini on Thursday, but that shouldn't stop them from getting back to their dominant ways.You can bet on college basketball odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season....
The Cincinnati Bearcats have gotten over their end of December woes by opening up 2016 with a win over Tulsa. Their first road test of the conference season will take place on Thursday against the undefeated SMU Mustangs.You can bet on college basketball odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season....
There might not be a more vexing team in the nation than the UCLA Bruins. They looked so darn good against Kentucky and Gonzaga in huge upsets, but then they have moments like they had last week when they were beaten on the road as favorites against both Washington and Washington State, allowing nearly 200 total points in the process of those performances....
Road games are always tricky propositions in college basketball, particularly in conference play. The Louisville Cardinals have already played games at Michigan State and Kentucky, but neither one was won. Games against teams like the North Carolina State Wolfpack are expected to be won, but the challenge will understandably be tough....
The Indiana Hoosiers are streaking, as they've won seven games in a row, including their first two offerings on the road of the Big Ten season. They'll come back to Assembly Hall for the first time since before Christmas on Tuesday night, and the Wisconsin Badgers should provide a reasonable test....
The SEC isn't the greatest conference in the country, but when the LSU Tigers take on the Kentucky Wildcats, it'll be can't miss viewing for college hoops fans simply due to the fact that the best player in America, Ben Simmons will try to take on what is perceived to be one of the best teams in the land....
It isn't always the case, but records in non-conference play often lie, and sometimes, they lie badly. That's the case with the Oklahoma State Cowboys, who are 9-4 at this point but probably won't even finish with a .500 record on the season. They haven't played a legitimate road game this season, and their first taste of away life is going to come on Tuesday against the Baylor Bears, not exactly the foes you want to be seeing in your first go-around of the season on an enemy's court....
It's going to be one heck of a stretch of 50 hours or so for the Oklahoma Sooners and the Kansas Jayhawks. Both teams are starting off their Big XII seasons on Saturday against ranked teams, but on Monday, they're going to have to face off with one another in a major Top 5 battle to kick off the new year.You can bet on college basketball odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season....
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have failed to cover their last three games of the non-conference season, and that probably isn't a good sign going into ACC play. The first task might be the toughest for any team this year. The Virginia Cavaliers might have the best home court advantage in the conference, and that's who the Irish have to go against on Saturday.You can bet on college basketball odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season....
Ben Simmons is arguably the best player in college basketball, but he really doesn't have all that much of a team around him. The LSU Tigers are going to need to go on a real tear to get into the NCAA Tournament this year, and winning a road game against the Vanderbilt Commodores is really a must.You can bet on college basketball odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season....
The Cavaliers and Hokies match up in an ACC battle for the state of Virginia with the Cavs ranked No. 5 in the nation and the Hokies searching for the upset at home where they’ve won three straight and are 6-2 SU for the season....
After hosting Clemson and Georgia Tech on Wednesday and Saturday, the Tar Heels hit the road in just their third true road game of the season to take on the Seminoles in Tallahassee. North Carolina is 0-2 SU and ATS in true road games to date.You can bet the college basketball odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season....
The Big East is already looking like a behemoth of a conference this year. The Xavier Musketeers and the Villanova Wildcats are both Final Four contenders, and they'll match wits in the first game of the conference season.You can bet on college basketball odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season....
