My 3 Best College Basketball Predictions for November 25

1. Dayton vs North Carolina Over 154.5

Dayton was held to a season-low 71 points against Northwestern in its only game against a team from one of the power conferences. Now comes a matchup with North Carolina Tar Heels in the Maui Invitational.

North Carolina has put up 90, 89, 107 and 87 points in its first four games this season and had 87 points in Saturday’s matchup at Hawaii, so the Tar Heels shouldn’t have any issues with jet lag.

Led by the backcourt of RJ Davis and Elliot Cadeau, the Tar Heels are fifth in offensive efficiency according to the Pomeroy college basketball ratings so when making NCAA basketball predictions, go with the game to land over 155.5 points.

2. Xavier Best Bet (-6)

South Carolina began the season by losing at home to North Florida and had no answers in a matchup with a ranked Indiana team. Now comes a test against Xavier in the Fort Myers Tip-Off Tournament.

The Musketeers rolled past Siena at home in their first game in the tournament with Ryan Conwell’s 16 points leading four Xavier players scoring in double figures. Zach Freemantle, who is averaging 15.6 points and 7.2 rebounds, is among the top player prop options in this game.

With the tournament moving to Fort Myers, Xavier is looking good to cover as the 6-point favorite in the semifinals of the Beach Division in the Fort Myers event.

3. Bet Little Rock-Illinois to Land Over

Some ranked teams have difficult matchups on Monday as the holiday tournaments kick into high gear and then there are the Illinois Fighting Illini.

Illinois is at home and will face a 3-3 Little Rock team that has lost to Winthrop and Arkansas State. Little Rock showed some fight by outscoring Arkansas in the second half the last time out. Leading scorer Mwani Wilkinson played in some big games during his time at LSU.

However, freshman Will Riley and sophomore Tomislav Ivisic lead an Illinois team that should be able to exploit a Little Rock side that ranks outside the top 150 in defensive efficiency in the early stages of the 2024-25 season.

When making Nov. 25 college basketball picks, take the Illinois game to land over 152 points.
