College Basketball Picks November 18th
Wagner (130.5) at Seton Hall -17.5
Early tip here as the Seahawks take the short trip from Staten Island to Newark. Seton Hall has been a cover machine thus far, beating up on the low-level teams thoroughly through a week of the season. Coming into the season, I was fairly bearish on the Pirates, and that still stands. They are yet to beat anyone of note.
Wagner was competitive in their conference last season but lost a few key components on their squad this year. They opened up the season, taking a really solid Fordham team to overtime in a game they were 9.5 point underdogs in. Wagner will not win this game, but like we always say, we’re betting numbers, not teams. I believe it is time the market corrects itself on the Pirates, and they fail to cover one.
The Pick: Wagner +17.5
Seattle (134.5) at VCU -9.5
A pair of 2-1 squads meet up in Richmond. Seattle plays out of the WAC, and they have a fair chance to make it to the big dance in March. Led by former Houston Cougar Cam Tyson, this Seattle team can play. Tyson is already averaging over 15 ppg and has the ability to score the ball from anywhere. It is a rarity that a visiting underdog from a much smaller school will have the best player on the court, but that will be the case in this one.
Expect Seattle to come in hungry, as they were surely looking ahead to this spot. They are coming off a very ugly loss to Northern Arizona, who is a team they should beat nine times out of ten. If this game comes down to the wire, I would not be surprised. Take the points.
The Pick: Seattle +9.5
