Even though Illinois lost in overtime at Nebraska, our other two Jan. 30 college basketball best bets came through with Memphis covering the spread as a road favorite and the Ohio State-Penn State game landing under the total.
While there are 20 games featuring at least one ranked team this weekend, just one of them will be played on Friday. Read on as we scour through college basketball odds today and find the top picks.
Top 3 College Basketball Picks Today
1. Butler’s Jahmyl Telfort to Have 16+ Points (-121)
In its last five games, Butler took a lead on favored Creighton in the second half, extended two-time defending national champion UConn to the limit before falling in overtime and held a double-digit lead against Marquette.
Plenty of players have been contributing for the Bulldogs. Senior forward Jahmyl Telfort continues to lead the way. In his last three games, Telfort is averaging 22.3 points per game.
The Bulldogs are back in action tomorrow night.

2. Saint Louis’ Gibson Jimmerson to Have 17+ Points (+113)
The contrast in the style of play between Dayton and Saint Louis is pretty intriguing.
Dayton, which is sitting at 4-4 in the Atlantic 10 standings and listed at +10000 in our March Madness odds, has five players who average at least 9.7 points per game. Second-place Saint Louis relies on the trio of Robbie Avila, Gibson Jimmerson and Isaiah Swope for 65% of its scoring.
That second item is the one to keep an eye on when it comes to college basketball prop bets.
Jimmerson is coming off his eighth 20-point effort of the season as he had 26 points in Tuesday’s win over VCU. He averaged 18.5 in two games against the Flyers last season.

3. Dartmouth vs Cornell to Land Under 164
All eight Ivy League teams will be in action Friday. The game that catches our attention is the one in Ithaca, New York as Cornell welcomes Dartmouth to town. BetUS Sportsbook has Cornell listed as a 10.5-point favorite.
With Cornell allowing the most points per game in the Ivy League and Dartmouth last in field goal percentage defense, the sports betting odds have set the total at 164.
Defense has been optional the last two times that Dartmouth played at Cornell with the Big Red winning 95-83 in 2023 and 89-80 in 2024.
Even though the Pomeroy basketball database has both teams outside the top 200 in defensive efficiency, we’re going to go with this Ivy League clash to land under.
Bet Dartmouth vs Cornell Under 164
