Saturday's College Basketball Betting Lines To Back

Tennessee -6.5 over Michigan

Michigan showed plenty in a second half comeback win over Colorado State Thursday. Now the Wolverines are in for a much different type of game against a Vols team that plays elite defense and can rip off quick scoring runs at any point. The Wolverines didn’t look nearly sharp enough to compete with a team like this, and they’ll really feel the loss of guard Isaiah Livers today. The Vols could start to run away with this one in the second half, and we’re on Tennessee -6.5.

 

Saint Mary’s +3 over UCLA

It’s not easy to do what Saint Mary’s did Thursday, blowing out an Indiana team that entered with plenty of momentum after a First Four win over Wyoming. The Gaels played as well as they have all season and proved they belong among the top teams in the nation. UCLA survived a battle with Akron and the Bruins should be concerned. They shot 36.4% from deep, made 11 of 13 free throws, posted a 14-8 assist-turnover ratio and still only beat the Zips by four. The Gaels are one of the few teams in the country that prefer to slow it down even more so than UCLA, so they’re totally comfortable in this matchup. We’re totally comfortable backing them with the points. We’re on Saint Mary’s +3.

 

Arkansas -6.5 over New Mexico State

 

The Razorbacks survived a scare against Vermont to advance, while New Mexico State upset UConn, 70-63. It wasn’t your typical upset. The Aggies controlled the game pretty much from start to finish and completely shut down the Huskies’ offense. UConn wasn’t built to come back in games like that, but Arkansas is a different story. The Razorbacks are a senior-led, guard-oriented team with plenty of experience and offensive playmakers. Very few are talking about Arkansas’ potential to make a deep run, but we expect the Razorbacks to impress and handle an Aggies team that’s in trouble given the matchup. We’re on Arkansas -6.5.
