Best College Basketball Predictions: Xavier Best Bet (+1.5) vs Michigan November 27

With Kansas edging Duke, the Iowa State-Dayton game going over and just 70 combined points scored in the first half in the Alabama-Houston game, it was looking good for a 3-0 mark in our best bets from Tuesday. However, when the matchup between Alabama and Houston finished over the total, it was our second consecutive 2-1 effort. Let’s see how the NCAA basketball predictions on Wednesday shake out.

Memphis guard Tyrese Hunter is 12-for-20 from 3-point range in wins over UConn and Michigan State at the Maui Invitational, and is among the players to consider in prop picks or parlays in Wednesday’s matchups. Make sure to check the latest college basketball news before placing your bets.

My 3 Best College Basketball Predictions for 11/27

1. Xavier (+1½) vs Michigan

It isn’t often that a player transfers from Ohio State to Michigan but that is what junior guard Roddy Gayle Jr. did and the Wolverines are happy to have him on the court. His 20 points lifted Michigan past Virginia Tech in its opener. Now the Wolverines are the slight favorites according to the BetUS sportsbook against undefeated Xavier in the Beach Division title game at the Fort Myers Tip-Off Tournament.

Ryan Conwell and Zach Freemantle could be tempting Nov. 27 player prop options for Xavier as the Musketeers are the underdogs for the first time this season.

Take Xavier to remain undefeated and to cover against the sports betting odds as a 1½-point underdog.

2. Rutgers-Alabama Clash Could Land Over

There will be just a few eyes on Alabama big man Clifford Omoruyi as he started 104 games in the previous four seasons when playing at Rutgers. He was a double-double machine when he played for the Scarlet Knights and offers value in the player props and parlay betting options in both points and rebounds.

It seems fitting that this many show stoppers will share the court in Las Vegas with a spot in the Players Era title game on the line.

When making NCAA predictions, take the game to land over the 161½ -point total.

3. Arizona (-15.5) Could Roll Past Davidson

The good news for Davidson is that it heads into the Battle 4 Atlantis opener with a 4-0 record thanks to wins over William Peace, Bowling Green, East Tennessee State and VMI. The bad news is that Davidson draws an Arizona team coming off back-to-back losses and with something to prove after being limited to just 55 points in a home loss to Duke.

Future Hall of Famer Steph Curry put Davidson Wildcats basketball on the map but it might be hard for

current star Reed Bailey and his teammates to hang around against Arizona, which scored 93 and 102 points in its first two games against mid-major programs. When making Nov. 27 NCAA basketball picks, riding with Arizona to cover as 15.5-point favorites is the way to proceed.
