Best College Basketball Bets on Dec. 2nd
UT-Arlington vs. UL Monroe Betting Analysis
Our resident college basketball prodigy, Corbie Craig, has been on a phenomenal run this season, sporting an 18-5 ATS mark in his NCAAB predictions this season, and he’s firing away at under the posted total in the Texas Arlington/UL Monroe showdown as one of his college basketball best bets on Monday night.
These teams haven’t met in two years, but for those who are all about trends, you should know the total has gone low in 3 of their last 4 meetings. We should also note that 3 of UT-Arlington’s last 4 games have gone under the posted total while UL Monroe’s last 6 lined games have gone low.
Neither of these teams are scoring juggernauts. The UT Mavericks are ranked 109th in scoring, averaging 79.6 points per game, while the UL Monroe Warhawks check in with the 265th-ranked scoring offense, averaging 72.1 points per contest.
Lastly, over Monroe’s last 6 lined games, the highest total came nearly a month ago when Tulane defeated the Warhawks, 80-64, with the teams combining for 144 points. This number has already slipped a hook from Corbie’s 148 at the time of the show to 147 ½, and it will likely tumble even further, so go low right now!
Pick: Under 148 (-110) UT-Arlington/UL Monroe
H3: Jackson State vs. St. Louis Betting Analysis
Jeff Nadu, affectionately known as the Big Man on Campus, has scoured the board and has locked on to the team total on St. Louis as one of his expert NCAAB picks for tonight. The Billikens are 22-point home chalk over their guests from Jackson State, but the Big Man is laser-focused on St. Louis scoring in buckets.
This is a well-rested St. Louis squad that last took the court on Wednesday and scored 90 points against a much better-equipped UMass team in what was a 93-90 upset loss. I expect that scoring tempo to persist against a Jackson State squad that has no defense to speak of, allowing nearly 90 points per game and unable to stop a nosebleed.
Speaking of Jackson State, the Tigers are 0-7 this season and have allowed north of 89 points in 4 of those 7 contests, including losses against Houston (97-40), Xavier (94-57), Vanderbilt (94-81), and Kentucky (108-59). The Billikens are more than capable of ringing up the score on this lackluster Tigers’ defense, which is why we are squarely in the Big Man’s corner in backing over 89 St. Louis’ team total points in our college basketball picks today.
