The college basketball season is in full swing and Saturday brings us an absolutely fantastic slate, packed to the brim with matchups between AP Top 25 teams and showdowns between top conference foes from the blue bloods to the mid-majors. In all, Saturday should be filled with nonstop action and marquee games from noon until deep into the night on the east coast.
While the college hoops market is as sharp as its ever been, there are still a few good value bets of which to take advantage of. Let's take a look at my best bets for these games on Saturday, but make sure you also check out our college basketball picks for the biggest games of the day.
Colorado Buffaloes ML over Arizona Wildcats (-115)
In what is arguably the best situational spot on the board, Colorado has a massive opportunity to potentially punch its ticket to the NCAA Tournament with a win over Arizona on Saturday. The Buffaloes are not only looking for revenge after the Wildcats drubbed them 97-50 in Tuscon last month, but they’ll have a fully healthy roster on hand this time around. Cody Williams and Tristan da Silva didn’t play in that matchup, so you can essentially throw that game out in my book. Colorado has dealt with a ton of injuries this season, but the Buffaloes appears to be rounding into form at the right time.
