College basketball schedule today has 19 games
There are a few more games on Friday than we’ve seen the last couple of weeks, but the night once again pales in comparison to what will be coming our way on Saturday. There are 19 games on the betting board, as the usual suspects are in action with the MAAC and Ivy League dominating most of the action. We’ve got a good mix, though, with the A-10, MAC, Mountain West and WAC all represented as well. (Tracking sheet)
It is the NBA All-Star Break, so Jonathan Von Tobel gets a break from writing, but it’s vacation time here at VSiN, so he’s been doing great work filling in on air throughout the week. Andy MacNeil does have NHL best bets today for you to check out.
Here are some thoughts on the February 17 card (odds from DraftKings):
Dayton Flyers (-7.5, 131) at Loyola Chicago Ramblers
Dayton and Loyola Chicago last met in southwest Ohio on Jan. 31 and the Flyers prevailed 85-81 in overtime. That game, which came on five days rest for Loyola Chicago, seemed to be a catalyst for a better stretch of basketball in the back end of the season. They beat George Mason a few days later before slipping up against Saint Joseph’s in a game where the Hawks were 13-of-32 from 3. They covered easily against Richmond and then won outright in upset fashion over UMass.
