College Basketball Best Bets | Expert Picks for Saturday, Feb. 3

Duke vs North Carolina

by Kevin Rogers

North Carolina was tripped up at Georgia Tech earlier this week, suffering its first ACC loss in 10 tries.

The Tar Heels are back home tonight to host rival Duke, who sits in 2nd place of the ACC at 7-2.

Last season, Duke swept UNC, including a 62-57 victory in Chapel Hill.

The Tar Heels are 9-1 to the Under in ACC action, while the Blue Devils are 4-1 to the Under in five ACC road games.

Although this total has moved up, let's look at the Under here between these two rivals.

Pick: Under 152.5 (-110)

Mississippi State vs Alabama

Mississippi State @ Alabama Under 156.5 Total Points (-110)

Alabama has put up some massive scoring efforts throughout the season and of late. But we don't see today's game profiling in the same way.

Alabama has scored 89.4 ppg on the season. Major conference teams in conference play who have scored at least 85 ppg are 316-375 OU.

They defeated Georgia last game, 85-76. And Alabama really needed those points after trailing by 14 points at halftime of that game. Top 25 teams coming off a win where they trailed by 13+ points are 107-147 OU.

Both these teams shot just over 53% from the field last game. While Alabama won by 9, Mississippi State lost by 4. Major conference teams coming off a conference game where they shot at least 53% but did not win by more than 10 points are 273-360 OU.

Also, Teams that shot at least 53% from the field last game but lost by more than 3 points are 306-378 OU.

Mississippi State also outrebounded Ole Miss by 13 boards in that game making it an even more confusing loss. Major conference teams coming off a loss where they outrebounded their opponent by 12+ boards are 170-227 OU.
