Top college basketball picks for Wednesday, Nov. 19
After simulating every game 10,000 times, the model is backing UConn (-7.5) to cover versus Arizona at 7 p.m. ET. Dan Hurley has a veteran squad, with the top seven Huskies scorers being upperclassmen, including three of them being holdovers from the last UConn championship team. They are efficient on offense, ranking fifth in the nation in field goal percentage, and UConn owns the paint on the defensive end. Both Tarris Reed Jr. and Eric Reibe average at least one blocked shot a game, which should cause problems for an Arizona team which struggles from the perimeter.
Just 11 teams in Division I attempt fewer three-pointers than the Wildcats, as they rank 294th in the country in made three-pointers per game. They’re averaging just four made three-pointers per game versus teams from power conferences as only two Wildcats are projected to score in double-figures on Wednesday. That’s half as many as the Huskies are forecasted to have, as the simulations have UConn (-7.5) winning by double-digits.
SportsLine’s model projects the Huskies to cover in well over 60% of simulations. See which other college basketball parlay picks to make here, and bet this pick right here:
