The Wildcats come into the game riding a six-game winning streak, although the Golden Eagles have already knocked off three ranked teams this season, so they could pose a threat to the Cats.

#12 Kentucky at Texas A&M Odds, Best Bets & Prediction

#12 Kentucky at Texas A&M Preview Wednesday is a big night in the SEC, highlighted by a showdown between the Texas A&M Aggies and the No. 12 Kentucky Wildcats in College Station. While the Wildcats once again look like a contender in the SEC, the Aggies are one of two teams that remain unbeaten in conference play. Kentucky Wildcats Preview At 14-3, the Wildcats have stumbled a few times, although they certainly look like a team with potential. Since losing to LSU, Kentucky has rattled off three straight wins in conference play, including a 107-79 blowout of Tennessee over the weekend. The ...

Top 3 Mid-January Wooden Award Sleepers

Keegan Murray, Iowa (+2000) The Hawkeyes may not be as vaunted as they were a year ago, but they still have a player in Keegan Murray who has been making headlines and stealing the show for his prolific scoring ability. Murray is college basketball's leading scorer at 24.5 points per game, and when that is the case, you always have to include him on your watch list. What makes it more impressive is that Murray is also averaging over eight rebounds per game, and is doing it all for his team much like Luka Garza last season. Murray was an afterthought when the season began, but his recent str...

College Basketball's Top 3 National Championship Sleepers

Michigan State Spartans (+4000 at DraftKings) Nobody really talks about the Spartans for some reason, even though they are sitting pretty with a 13-2 record and a 4-0 record in the Big 10. Their in-state rivalry game against Michigan on Saturday was postponed due to COVID issues within the Wolverines' program, which means that their current eight-game win streak is intact going into their home game against Minnesota. Tom Izzo's team has been flying under the radar for some time now, and at +4000 odds, I think it's worth a bet. These odds are just too long for a team as good and well-coach...

Kofi Cockburn, Illinois Center (+1600) Statistics: 21.8 PPG, 12.1 RPG, 62.2% FG, 30.4 MIN (9 G...

#7 Purdue at #25 Illinois Odds, Best Bets & Prediction

#7 Purdue at #25 Illinois Preview Two ranked programs will collide Monday, when the Illinois Fighting Illini take on the Purdue Purdue Boilermakers at State Farm Center. While Illinois are having an impressive season and remain undefeated in Big Ten play this season, the Boilermakers remain a top-10 program even if they’ve underachieved a bit when looking at their record. Will Purdue snap Illinois’ impressive winning streak in front of their fans? Purdue Boilermakers Preview The Boilermakers are the seventh-best team in the country according to the latest AP Poll, but it’s safe to say the...

Butler at #14 Villanova Odds, Best Bets & Prediction

Butler at #14 Villanova Preview The Villanova Wildcats are overwhelming favorites for this Sunday contest against the Butler Bulldogs, and it only takes a look at the record from both teams to understand that. As if that was not enough, Villanova will also be playing at home, so it would be a massive shock if Butler end up pulling the upset in this one. Will the Wildcats come through in order to remain at the top of the Big East standings? Butler Bulldogs Preview Butler has been nothing more than a middle-of-the-pack team in the Big East this season, and it seems they simply don’t have en...
