College basketball schedule today has 39 games
The Monday college hoops card starts early, much like the NBA and NHL cards with the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. There are three noon ET tips and a few games going off in the 2 p.m. hour, which is rare for a Monday, but we still have a fair amount of games to pick from and more quality matchups than a usual start to the work week.
Nine games are on the docket in the Association and Jonathan Von Tobel has you covered with NBA best bets and analysis for those, while we’ve got 11 games in the NHL and Andy MacNeil is your go-to guy for today’s handicapping tips.
Here are some thoughts on the January 16 card (odds from DraftKings):
Elon Phoenix at UNC Wilmington Seahawks (-14.5, 136)
Last week was a tough one for UNC Wilmington. The Seahawks emptied the tank in a 71-69 loss to College of Charleston on Wednesday and then had a bit of a hangover in a 69-67 loss to William & Mary on Saturday. This looks like a “get right game” for the Seahawks against one of the nation’s worst teams.
