College Basketball Picks: Bet Montana vs Tennessee Over (138.5) 11/13
- Get the latest NCAA basketball odds at the BetUS Sportsbook.
- Arkansas to win outright is among the best bets.
- UConn’s Alex Karaban is a top option in the player prop picks.
- Here are three college basketball picks you can play on Wednesday.
Even though seven ranked teams will be in action on Wednesday, there aren’t any games expected to match Tuesday’s doubleheader in Atlanta when Kansas topped Michigan State and Kentucky overcame a nine-point halftime deficit to beat Duke despite 26 points from star freshman Cooper Flagg.
Three of the ranked games feature Big East teams with No. 3 UConn playing host to Le Moyne, current NCAA scoring leader Ryan Kalkbrenner leading No. 14 Creighton against Houston Christian and No. 22 St. John’s meeting up with Wagner. With the Huskies, Bluejays and Red Storm all favored by at least 24 points by the BetUS sportsbook, it should be business as usual for those three. Auburn, Houston, Tennessee and Arkansas are also in action on Wednesday.
When looking at college basketball picks today, Minnesota and Vanderbilt are the only home teams from the Power-4 conferences favored by less than 10 points on Wednesday.

3 NCAA Basketball Picks for 11/13
1. Montana-Tennessee To Go Over -138½
Tennessee looks much different this season without the sweet-shooting Dalton Knecht around to lead the scoring barrage. The Volunteers have scored 80 and 77 points in the first two games of the season with veteran guard Zakai Zeigler averaging 16 points and eight assists.
The Volunteers deserve some credit for playing a true road game against an ACC team last time out. There aren’t many of the top programs that can say the same thing early this season.

Next up is a home game against Montana, a team that allowed an unranked Oregon team to score 79 points. When making NCAA basketball picks, it won’t be a surprise to see the Volunteers top that mark and this game to go over the 138½ -point total.

2. Arkansas -12
Usually picking a John Calipari-coached team to cover as a double-digit favorite early in the season can be risky because of all the freshmen adapting to the college game. However, as Calipari moved from Kentucky to Arkansas, he changed his roster-building technique – at least for one year.
The Razorbacks have the top-rated group of incoming transfers and that includes some players who followed Calipari from Kentucky to Arkansas.

The Razorbacks came up short to Baylor on Saturday and now the college basketball spread has Arkansas as a 12-point favorite against visiting Troy.
Troy is undefeated but those wins came against Toledo and New Orleans. It is a different deal going on the road to face a team from the SEC.
3. Bet on UConn’s Alex Karaban in the Player Props
Alex Karaban, the only returning starter for the reigning national champions, has done a little bit of everything in UConn’s first two games of the season with averages of 18.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 5.5 blocked shots per game.
The Huskies have another “name your score” type of game with Le Moyne coming to town. A versatile Karaban offers so many college basketball player prop options. Take a look at the numbers for rebounds, assists and blocked shots on Wednesday.
Bet the Huskies to cover and Karaban props if they become available.
