Gonzaga, Robert Morris and UNC Wilmington were among the favorites to deliver in the college basketball best bets in Tuesday’s conference tournament title games. Will it be more of the same on Wednesday?

A quick look at the odds of winning March Madness shows Iowa State (+3500), Kansas (+6500), Arkansas (+15000) and Baylor (+15000) have the shortest championship odds among the teams playing on Wednesday.

Iowa State, the only ranked team in action on Wednesday, is priced by the BetUS sportsbook as an 8½-point favorite against Cincinnati.

Let’s take a look at some options from Wednesday’s college basketball schedule.

 

Top 3 College Basketball Picks Today

1. Bet Baylor (-6) to Cover Spread vs Kansas State

Baylor began the season ranked in the top 10 in the national polls, but there were signs of trouble ahead with a 38-point loss to Gonzaga in the season opener.

Even though the Bears come in at No. 33 in the NCAA NET rankings, a loss to a 16-16 Kansas State team in the Big 12 tournament could leave the Bears in the dreaded bubble team category.

The Bears have failed to cover against the college basketball odds in the last four meetings with Kansas State, including the lone meeting during the regular season when Baylor won 70-62 as the 11.5-point favorite.

Jeremy Roach and Langston Love missed that matchup. They are both back now and when making college basketball bets, take Baylor to cover as the 6½-point favorite.

When looking at the college basketball futures odds, Baylor is priced at +3500 to win the Big 12 tournament.

2. Bet Seton Hall vs Villanova Over 126

Even with points hard to come by in the most recent meeting between Seton Hall and Villanova, eight of the last 10 games between the Big East rivals landed over the NCAAB basketball lines total.

Villanova is one of those March Madness bubble teams in need of victories in the conference tournament. Eric Dixon, the nation’s leading scorer, could be a college basketball player prop option in the Wildcats’ Big East tournament opener.

Another Seton Hall vs Villanova best bet to consider is for the game to land over 126.

3. Bet Georgetown (-4.5) vs DePaul

The biggest piece of college basketball news involving Georgetown in recent weeks is that Thomas Sorbers suffered a season-ending foot injury.

With Sorber, Georgetown might have made some noise in the Big East tournament. Without him, that seems a bit more unlikely. However, the Hoyas are favored in the NCAA basketball matchup against DePaul in their tourney opener.

DePaul won just four conference games this season and two of them came against Georgetown. When making college basketball picks, go with Georgetown to cover as the 4.5-point favorite.
