With 14 games being played involving teams from the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 and SEC, there will be plenty of college basketball betting options to consider on Wednesday including a top-10 showdown between Kansas and Iowa State..

We look for the best college basketball odds today to find the best bets ahead.

 

Top 3 College Basketball Picks Today

1. Texas vs Oklahoma Over 149.5 (-115)

It has not been the easiest of adjustments as Texas and Oklahoma left the Big 12 for the SEC. The Longhorns and the Sooners are two of four SEC teams still winless in conference play heading into Wednesday’s matchup.


Eight of Oklahoma’s 13 wins have come at home this season. The lone loss was by two points in overtime to a ranked Texas A&M team. The Longhorns lost by 20 points to that same Texas A&M squad.

Texas is coming off solid showings in losses to Auburn and Tennessee. Will that carry over to the matchup with Oklahoma?

It might be tempting to go with Oklahoma to cover as 2.5-point favorites or at -145 to win outright. When making college basketball predictions today, take this SEC clash to land over 149.5.

Bet This Pick: Texas vs Oklahoma Over 149.5 (-115)

 

2. Butler ML (-315) vs Seton Hall

Don’t be scared off by Butler’s nine-game losing streak or its 0-6 record in Big East play. In the last two home games for the Bulldogs, Butler led by as many as 13 points against Villanova and went toe-to-toe with Creighton before losing by four points.

Seton Hall has lost by 12, 22 and 6 points in its first three Big East road games of the season and is still looking for its first road win of the 2024-25 season.

Seton Hall has won six games in a row against Butler and covered against the college basketball odds in the last four but things could change in Wednesday’s matchup.

Bet This Pick: Butler (-315)

 

3. California vs North Carolina Under 161

There are times when North Carolina looks like a team that lost three of its top four scorers. The Tar Heels kicked off the new year by being held to 70 points in a loss at Louisville and needing a four-point play from Elliot Cadeau with less than five seconds left to play to escape with the 74-73 win versus Notre Dame.

After putting up 82 points in a convincing home victory versus SMU, there were more offensive struggles in a two-point win at North Carolina State.


North Carolina did get third-leading scorer Seth Trimble back for the SMU and NC State games but he had a total of four points on 2-of-9 shooting in those games. RJ Davis and Ian Jackson are one of the best 1-2 scoring tandems in the ACC but getting consistent production from other players has been a struggle for the Tar Heels.

California is averaging 72 points over its last four games as the Bears miss junior forward BJ Omot. Sophomore Andrej Stojakovic is averaging 24 points over his last four games and he could be a top college basketball player prop pick. However, he doesn’t have much offensive support.

When looking at California vs North Carolina betting options, go with the game to go under 161 as the final NCAAB expert pick as just three of the first seven games this season with North Carolina being favored at home landed over the total.

Bet This Pick: Cal-North Carolina Under 161
