Men’s and Women’s College Basketball Best Bets:
After a couple of massive college basketball slates the last couple of days, Friday is less indulgent, offering up just a dozen games on each the men’s and women’s side of the action before the big weekend slate of games. Women’s article plays went 2-1 yesterday, and all of my women’s bets are still up 5 units on the season, despite a dreadful 4-9 overall day yesterday where several favorites lost outright. We’ll chalk that up to variance and keep it moving.
Here are today’s projections for both men’s and women’s games:
