Only three days of conference tournament action remain, so let’s make the most of what we have.
Friday’s slate of college basketball tourney games starts with a Big Ten battle between Rutgers and Purdue at noon ET and runs all the way through a Mountain West matchup featuring Utah State and Boise State at midnight ET.
While our writers didn’t hit Scarlet Knights vs. Boilermakers for their early best bets, they did break down three other matchups: Ohio State vs. Michigan State in the Big Ten Tournament, UAB vs. North Texas in the C-USA Tournament and Ohio vs. Toledo in the MAC Tournament.
Read on for all three of our best bets for Friday’s early college basketball games, and be sure to check back throughout the day for our top evening and late-night picks.
