This Week’s College Basketball Picks

Easily the biggest college basketball game of the week sees the No. 2 Duke Blue Devils (19-1 SU, 12-6-1 ATS) visit the No. 3 North Carolina Tar Heels (21-1 SU, 15-4 ATS). Odds weren’t available at press time, but judging by the overnight line from Vegas, North Carolina will be favored. Duke, however, is in fourth place in the efficiency rankings, while the Heels are seventh and pessimistic about point guard Ty Lawson’s status following Sunday’s sprained left ankle at Florida State.
While those two storied programs fight it out on ESPN, Saturday’s matchup between the Evansville Aces (6-15 SU, 8-11 ATS) and the No. 15 Drake Bulldogs (20-1 SU, 14-3 ATS at press time) gets squat for television coverage. The Bulldogs are the most profitable team in the nation, but Drake’s run might be getting a little too chalky; the Missouri Valley leaders are No. 24 in efficiency, nine spots below their ranking in the coaches’ poll.
