Our college basketball player props and best bets for Wednesday based on the best college basketball odds should help get you ready for a solid mid-week slate.
Only one game on Wednesday will feature a battle of ranked teams when No. 8 Marquette hosts No. 12 Texas as part of the Big 12/Big East challenge. The Big 12 has flexed its muscles against the Big East, but the Golden Eagles are sizable favorites against the Longhorns.
There are plenty of other intriguing matchups set for Wednesday. Memphis takes on VCU, while Pittsburgh and West Virginia meet in a rivalry matchup. After a couple of tough betting losses for Tuesday's slate, we are hoping to bounce back in a big way on Wednesday.

Wednesd ay's college basketball game picks
Dayton looks like the team to beat in the Atlantic 10 conference, ranking nearly 30 spots higher than any other league foe in Ken Pomeroy's adjusted efficiency margin. The Flyers have jumped a dozen spots based on their preseason projection after a 6-2 start, which includes losses to Houston and Northwestern.
UNLV, meanwhile, is just 3-3 and has fallen from a Kenpom preseason ranking of 76th to 130th. But that's also why we are getting a favorable number in this spot, as this spread is a couple of points higher than what I would make it.
The Rebels are allowing teams to shoot 40.9% from 3-point range against them so far this season, which ranks 354th in the nation. But some of that can be attributed to a small sample size, as the Rebels rank 76th in 3-point attempts allowed this season.
Dayton is a team that wants to play at a slower pace, while UNLV will look for opportunities to get easy points in transition. ShotQuality makes this spread below six points, so take this down to +8.5 to take advantage of a potential early-season overreaction by the market.
