Illinois vs Nebraska +14.5 O/U 148
This one is an auto-play for me on Illinois. Nebraska is coming off some short rest from their game vs Wisconsin on Wednesday and Illinois has had almost a week since they have played last. The Illini are so hot right now and they are one of the best teams in college basketball. Illinois can put up some serious points ranking 10th in away points per game at 82. Both of these teams play fast so I expect extra possessions for Illinois to get the easy cover. I think that they can win by 20+ points here and I like the upside
Illinois -14.5 – 1.5 star
Georgia Tech vs Clemson -3.5 O/U 129
This game here is all about regression and matchup. Clemson isn’t a great shooting team but they can defend well inside. These 2 teams have already played each other once with Georgia Tech winning 83-65 thanks to shooting an amazing 62% from three point land. Clemson just could not keep it together last game due to turning the ball over 20 times and poor 3 point defense. Is this a spot where Clemson gets it right at home? I actually do not think so, Georgia Tech is a good 3 point shooting team at 36.1% while Clemson struggles to guard the 3 allowing 34.1% to go in. Clemson also has turnover issues at 19.5% of possessions while Georgia Tech ranks 14th in the nation at 8.9 steals per game. Gonna take Georgia Tech here and sprinkle that ML.
Georgia Tech +3.5 – 2 stars and sprinkle
