COLLEGE BASKETBALL · SATURDAY NOV 14

College Basketball Predictions & Picks

Saturday on the college board starts early and runs late. The headliner is Colorado in Providence on Peacock, where the Buffs are getting twelve and a half and we have the Friars by only three. I've got seven more plays around it, from a 2 PM tip in Lubbock to a 10 PM late show in Reno.

LSU@#14 GONZSAT 3:30 PM · USA NETLIVE · LSU 31 · GONZ 31 · 2:47 - 1st

Zags.

Gonzaga −4.5Live oddsFanDuel

LSU is 3-0, but every win came at home against a team it was supposed to crush, and it did, by 40 or more each time.

Gonzaga already beat Purdue and dropped 109 on New Mexico State. Davis Fogle is scoring 22 a game for the Zags. We have Gonzaga by about seven and a half, and four and a half is the best number out there.

SUU@WAKESAT 4:00 PM · ACCNXLIVE · SUU 18 · WAKE 28 · 9:47 - 1st

Eighteen and a half is too many. Thunderbirds.

Southern Utah +18.5Live oddsFanDuel

The real test was a 29-point loss at High Point, and that's ugly.

Ignore Southern Utah's gaudy home scores against non-Division I teams. But Wake Forest isn't a blowout machine either. The Deacs lost by 23 at Vanderbilt, and their two home wins came by 21 and 18. We have Wake by about 14.

UNI@OAKSAT 5:00 PM · ESPN+

Getting points? Panthers.

Northern Iowa +1.5−115FanDuel

Oakland is 0-5, and none of those losses were close: 16 at Michigan, 18 at Stanford, 23 at UC Santa Barbara, 41 at Alabama and 32 at Boise State.

Yes, this is finally a home game for the Golden Grizzlies. And yes, Northern Iowa played in East Lansing last night, so it's tired. But the Panthers beat Green Bay by 13, and Greyson Uelmen is scoring 18.8 a game. We have UNI by about five.

UTAH@CALSAT 5:00 PM · ACCNX

Take the extra half point at 16.5. Trailblazers.

Utah Tech +16.5−118BetMGM

Cal is 2-2 and just lost at home to USC by 12.

Earlier, it beat Radford by only 14 in Berkeley. Utah Tech has taken some lumps on the road, but Christian Gibson is scoring 19 a game, and he can get hot. We have the Bears by about 12.

SAT NOV 14
COLO@PROVSAT 6:00 PM · PEACOCK

Sko Buffs, with the points.

Colorado +12.5−110Fanatics

Colorado beat Providence 97-88 in Boulder last November, and now the Friars are laying twelve and a half?

This is the best number on the board, and it belongs to the Buffs. Barrington Hargress is scoring 20 a game, and he dropped 33 on San Diego State. Ian Inman hung 26 on San Diego in the last one. Yes, this is Colorado's first road trip, and the loss to SDSU stung. But Providence lost by nine to Nebraska, and its leading scorer, Malik Mack, is at 13 a game. That's not a team that should be blowing anybody out. We have the Friars by about three.

7 PM

SAT NOV 14
APSU@WICHSAT 7:00 PM · ESPN+

Twelve and a half? Govs.

Austin Peay +12.5−110FanDuel

Zyree Collins is the engine, at 18.3 points and 8 boards a game.

Austin Peay's only loss is a two-pointer at Kennesaw State. Wichita State beat Cal State Northridge by only 12 at home and lost to USC by seven. We have the Shockers by about eight.

10 PM+

SAT NOV 14
UTAH@NEVSAT 10:00 PM · MW+

Nine and a half at a near-even price? Wolverines.

Utah Valley +9.5−102FanDuel

Utah Valley is 2-0 and already won on the road, 101-93 at Weber State.

Dominick Nelson is scoring 17 a game. Nevada needed everything to beat Saint Mary's by one at home, then lost by 13 at UC Santa Barbara. We have the Wolf Pack by about six.
