College Basketball Picks: Kentucky vs. Kansas Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 11/14/2011

It was a nice betting start to the college basketball season with my first game preview story last week as I took North Carolina -9 and the ‘under’ against Michigan State in the first Carrier Classic, and both were winners in the Heels’ 67-55 win.

College Basketball Picks: North Carolina vs. Michigan State Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 11/11/2011

Welcome to the first college basketball game preview of the 2011-12 season, which technically tipped off on Monday but really does Friday with around 125 games and nearly every Top 25 team in action. And that includes the odds-on favorite to win the national title and preseason No. 1 North Carolina Tar Heels playing unranked Michigan State in the inaugural Carrier Classic aboard the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier parked in San Diego Harbor.

College Basketball Handicapping: Potential Value Teams ATS
by T.O. Whenham - 11/10/2011

As we get ready for the start of another glorious season of college basketball it’s a good time to be on the lookout for teams that could be better than the public expects them to be. When a team overachieves while not at the forefront of the public consciousness, they can often be strong ATS performers. That’s obviously a good thing for college basketball handicappers.

Wagering on season win totals for college fans is no longer reserved just for the football season. For the upcoming college basketball season Caesars Palace has release college basketball season win totals odds for 24 teams.

2011 Pac-12 Basketball Predictions and Futures Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 11/8/2011

The Pac-12 added two new programs, Colorado and Utah, and no league in the nation will see as many new starters as the boys out West. A scant 26 of 60 returning starters are back this season, which is the smallest percent of returning starters in any BCS conference over the last four years.

2011 College Basketball: Syracuse Predictions and Futures Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 11/8/2011

North Carolina and Kentucky are enjoying the entire preseason national championship buzz. But, in my opinion, the Orange are barely a notch below the 1a and 1b top teams in the land. Syracuse is a true title contender, and I have a feeling that at some point this year they will find themselves atop the polls.

2011 College Basketball: Ohio State Predictions and Futures Betting Odds
by Alan Matthews - 11/8/2011

Most people would consider a season in which you start 24-0, spend plenty of time as the nation’s No. 1 team, and win your conference regular-season and tournament titles for the second season in a row as an unqualified success.

NCAA Basketball Odds and Predictions: 2011-12 Player of the Year
by Alan Matthews - 11/8/2011

The 2011-12 college basketball season tipped off on Monday night. And I recommend you enjoy the season because the way the NBA owners and players are going, this might be our only basketball action of the year. With that said, let’s take a look at Bodog’s odds for the National Player of the Year this season.

2011 College Basketball: Memphis Predictions and Tigers Futures Odds
by Aaron Smith - 11/8/2011

The Tigers finished fourth in Conference USA during the regular season last year, but they made the NCAA Tournament thanks to a miraculous comeback victory in the Conference USA Tournament Championship Game. The Tigers put up a great fight, but they lost in the final seconds of the opening game in the NCAA Tournament against Arizona.

2011 College Basketball: Marquette Predictions and Futures Odds
by Aaron Smith - 11/8/2011

Marquette has quietly put together six consecutive seasons with 20 or more victories. The Golden Eagles haven’t quite gotten the publicity that most successful teams get, but that is a product of playing in a very difficult Big East Conference.

2011 College Basketball: Texas A&M Predictions and Futures Odds
by Darin Zank - 11/4/2011

The Texas A&M Aggies have made the NCAA Tournament six years in a row. And even though they went through another head coaching change this off-season, they look well-equipped to extend that streak this season. But the Aggies have run into some turbulence before they even took off this year, with new HC Billy Kennedy being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

2011 College Basketball: Mississippi State Predictions and Bulldogs Futures Odds
by T.O. Whenham - 11/4/2011

Any talk of the Bulldogs has to focus on Renardo Sidney. The junior power forward was a Top-10 recruit in 2009 — a freakish beast of a man who seemed like he was sure to succeed. Other highly ranked players in that class — John Wall, Derrick Favors, DeMarcus Cousins, Avery Bradley, and Xavier Henry, for example — have finished with their college careers and moved on to the next level. Sidney, meanwhile, has starred in a bizarre and pathetic soap opera.

2011 College Basketball: Baylor Predictions and Bears Futures Odds
by Aaron Smith - 11/4/2011

Two years ago, the Baylor Bears nearly knocked off the Duke Blue Devils to get into the Final Four. Expectations were high heading into last year, and the team started 7-0. After the quick start against some cupcake opponents, it was all downhill from there.

2011 College Basketball: Wisconsin Badgers Predictions and Betting Odds
by Alan Matthews - 11/3/2011

Unless you are a Wisconsin alum, from the Big Ten, or a former coach, you probably don’t much enjoy watching the Wisconsin Badgers play basketball. Since Bo Ryan arrived as coach, they are always good and pretty much a lock to contend in the Big Ten and win couple of games in the NCAA Tournament, but they surely don’t win pretty.

2011 College Basketball: Arizona Wildcats Predictions and Futures Odds
by David Schwab - 11/3/2011

Arizona had its chance at winning a national title last year with an Elite 8 matchup against eventual champion Connecticut. After knocking-off Texas and Duke in the previous two rounds, it came up a few points short against the Huskies in a 65-63 nail-biter as a 3.5-point underdog.

2011 College Basketball: UCLA Predictions and Bruins Futures Odds
by Darin Zank - 11/3/2011

After making it to three straight Finals Fours the UCLA Bruins had a down year in 2009-10, going 14-18 and missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time in six seasons. But last year, after a slow start, UCLA bounced back, and made a return appearance to the Big Dance.

2011 College Basketball: Louisville Predictions and Futures Odds
by Aaron Smith - 11/3/2011

Rick Pitino is a really good college basketball coach. If you didn’t already know that before last year, the success of the 2010-11 Louisville Cardinals should have made that clear. Louisville wasn’t in the preseason Top 25 last year. In fact, they didn’t even receive a single vote in the preseason polls.

2011 College Basketball: Vanderbilt Predictions and Betting Odds
by - 11/2/2011

You, nor any of your college basketball betting friends, may not think Vanderbilt is an SEC power, but don’t tell Head Coach Kevin Stallings that. From 2006 to 2010, his Nashville program has won an average of nearly 23 games per season, as well as putting together four 20-win seasons in their last five campaigns.

2011 College Basketball: Washington Huskies Predictions and Betting Odds
by - 11/2/2011

Washington is moving forward without do-it-all guard Isaiah Thomas. They have no choice. The 5-foot-9 spark plug is now in Sacramento waiting to ply his trade for the Kings. Thomas led Washington in scoring in two of his three seasons in Seattle.
