Xavier +3.0 (-110) Vs Marquette

Oklahoma flexed its muscles in their last five games, covering the spread in six-straight outings, including four outright victories as the underdog. They faced the Wildcats earlier this season, losing by a single point but seizing the spread. Will history repeat itself, or will the Sooners outpace Kentucky this time around? Long-shot betters might be thinking Oklahoma schlongs 'em!
Clemson -6.5 (-115) Vs SMU
The Clemson Tigers are on a rampage, dominating opponents in their latest eight-game winning streak, complete with victories over Duke, UNC, and a masterful seven-point win on the road against SMU. Back the Tigers to continue their dominance when they meet the Mustangs once again at a neutral site. Best of luck to those taking the plunge into the fray!
UConn -5.5 (-110) Vs Villanova
UConn may not be at their championship-winning form, but they're still a force to be reckoned with, covering the spread in three consecutive games and defeating Villanova by seven points in their last encounter. As they return to the court, they trump Villanova's 12-point victory over Seton Hall, instead crushing them by a 31-point margin. Grab the Huskies and hold on tight for a wild ride!
The Final Two Best Bets: Kansas/Arizona Over, Utah State -8 Vs UNLV
The Kansas Jayhawks face the Arizona Wildcats tonight, but we're not putting all our chips on this one-on-one showdown. Instead, we're laying our bets on the over. The two teams combined for 159 points in their last meeting, leading to -110 legal sports betting odds for the 151.5-point total to go over tonight.
Kansas/Arizona O 151.5 Points (-110)
Kansas has seen its totals go over in five of its last seven games, while Arizona's totals are 17-14 on the season and have gone over in three of their last five games. Will these scoring machines-a-roo keep it lit?
Utah State -8 (-110) Vs UNLV
In the late-night showdown, the final bet of the night is Utah State to cover the 8.0-point spread against UNLV. The Aggies and Rebels have split the season series, but things may be looking up for Utah State as UNLV's leading scorer, Dedan Thomas Jr., and second-highest minutes player, Julian Rishwain, are reportedly unavailable. Predictions? The Aggies might do more than just cook their opponents, leaving UNLV to roast under their sizzling offense!
