3 Best College Basketball Predictions for 11/22

1. Duke-Arizona to Go Over 161

Arizona and Duke hadn’t met in a decade before the Wildcats went on the road and upset a Duke team that at that point was ranked second in the national polls.

Caleb Love is the only Arizona starter from that game who is back with the Wildcats. He is off to a slow start as Love is shooting 35% from the field and 26% on 3-pointers.

Tyrese Proctor and Caleb Foster were the only players on the court for at least 10 minutes in that game for Duke who are set to play in the rematch. Freshmen Cooper Flagg and Kon Knueppel are the top two scorers for the Blue Devils. They are the top Duke vs Arizona player prop options.

Duke came up short in its first test of the season with a loss to Kentucky despite 40 points from Flagg and Knueppel so it is hard to have much confidence going with the Blue Devils to win at Arizona. Take the game to land over the 160-point total.

Bet on Duke vs Arizona Over 161

2. Hofstra vs Houston Over 132

Houston rebounded rather nicely from the loss to Auburn by putting up 91 points in a win over visiting Louisiana. Sophomore Terrance Arceneaux came off the bench to lead the Cougars with 14 points. Hofstra just allowed 79 points in a loss to Florida State.

Hofstra‘s top four scorers are transfers so it is hard to get a read on the Pride. However, the 131.5-point line seems a bit on the low side. The best option in NCAAB expert picks for this game is for the clash between Hofstra and Houston to land over the total.

3. Bet NC State (-16.5) to Cover Against William & Mary

Before meeting up with 2024 national finalist Purdue in San Diego on Thanksgiving, an undefeated North Carolina State team has another ho-hum opponent to contend with.

William & Mary is off to a 3-3 start with losses to North Carolina Central, Winthrop and Radford. Now comes a matchup against Jayden Taylor, Ben Middlebrooks and the Wolfpack in Raleigh.

After a couple of closer-than-anticipated matchups with Presbyterian and Coastal Carolina, NC State put up 40 points in the first half on the way to a strong showing against Colgate.

BetUS Sportsbook has NC State favored by 15 points and we like the Wolfpack to take care of business in this one.
