NCAA basketball boasted some top matchups this past week. #1 Gonzaga took down #2 UCLA 83-63, which increases Gonzaga’s odds to win it all to only +450. This past weekend, now #3 Purdue took down both then ranked #18 North Carolina (93-84) and then ranked #5 Villanova (80-74). Villanova themselves beat 15th ranked Tennessee (71-53). It is great to see so many ranked opponents play each other this early in the season.
College basketball is all about the upsets, review basketball betting strategies to help boost your winnings. Wisconsin shocked number 12 Houston with a close 65-63 victory. Cincinnati came out of nowhere and beat number 14 Illinois 71-51. However, the most impressive win was unranked Arizona, who upset #4 Michigan 80-62. This (along with a loss to Seton Hal) sunk Michigan to 20th ranked, while Arizona is now ranked 16th.
Catch lots of NCAA Basketball this Thanksgiving Weekend
Georgetown will leave the snow behind and head to sunny Thanksgiving destination spot, Anaheim, to face the Aztecs late this Turkey Day. The Hoyas are lead by Carey who is shooting close to 60% in the field, and leads the team in assists. Georgetown is going to make this a closer game than comfortable. SDSU has been playing to the skill of their opponents just barely beating both Arizona St. and the lesser-tiered UT-Arlington, as well as barely losing to 18th ranked BYU. The Aztecs should still win this game, but expect the spread to go the Hoyas way.
Both teams have already proven themselves against good teams this year. Duke has already taken down #10 Kentucky to start their season (79-71). In addition, Gonzaga just beat UCLA, and will play back to back elite matchups. This schedule resembles how they won their elite eight and final four matches in the tournament last year. This game will highlight the two top candidates for the John R. Wooden Awards with Timme (Zags) at +350 odds to win, and Duke’s Banchero at +650. This game played in Vegas, is going to a can’t miss matchup. Ultimately, Timme and the rest of Gonzaga is playing too hot right now to bet against. Expect the Zags to win somewhere around 80-72.
This rivalry game is set to take place in Salt Lake City, which is a 45 minute drive from Provo where the Cougars play. The energy that will be in this stadium will be electric. Undefeated BYU has already beat a ranked Oregon squad and San Diego State. Undefeated Utah has had a more cushy schedule, but did beat Boston College on the road. Despite the energy from the crowd, look for this game to go BYU in both the moneyline and the spread.
Notre Dame has only lost to an undefeated Saint Mary’s team (impressively beating Oregon & Providence too). They still have to take on Texas A&M before this matchup, but should win. Illinois has lost two games, a close one to Marquette and a pretty bad loss to Cincinnati. The Fighting Illini still have to face a bottom-tier Rio Grande Valley team before this matchup, but should win handily.
Notre Dame should win this matchup against Illinois, who by Monday might not even be ranked (if so closer to 20-25). Illinois are the heavy favorites, so choosing the Notre Dame side of the spread is an easy decision, while picking the moneyline for Notre Dame should win you more cash to spend on this Cyber Monday.
