The college basketball regular season is in home stretch and Saturday brings us another terrific slate of games, as we’ve got high-profile 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.
Creighton Blue Jays -3.5 over Marquette Golden Eagles (-105)
Both of these Big East foes are coming off convincing victories at home, and I’ll be going right back to the home team in this matchup. Creighton is playing some of its better basketball of the season of late, and the Blue Jays will be looking to exact some revenge over the Golden Eagles in what is their last home game of the regular season. It could easily be argued that Creighton let that first meeting get away from them back on December 30, as the Blue Jays led at halftime but surrendered 44 second-half points en route to losing 72-67. That should be fresh in the minds of Greg McDermott’s team ahead of this important Big East clash.
