College Basketball Picks February 25th
Creighton (-2.5) at St. John’s (O/U 153.5)
These two teams look a lot different than they did in their matchup earlier this year. Creighton outlasted the pesky Johnnies by a score of 66-65 in Omaha. That was The Bluejay’s worst offensive output in a home game this season, which should give St. John’s some confidence at home today.
With that being said, these two teams have gone in opposite directions since then. Creighton has heated up and may just be getting got at the right time, while St. John’s looks like they have quit.
We are just a few days removed from Pitino scolding his team, and they did not look impressive in the game after those comments were made.
I am not sure how they will withstand the constant jabs and punches from the fire-powered Creighton offense, so we will ride with the road Jays.
The Pick: Creighton -2.5
Purdue (-13.5) at Michigan (O/U 153.5)
Purdue rebounded strongly from their loss against Rutgers with a blowout win vs Rutgers. On the other hand, Michigan blew a massive lead against Northwestern and truly looked competitive.
This seems like a look ahead spot for The Boilers, Michigan is a team who has nothing to lose and will be playing very free. Purdue has Illinois and a few other big games coming up next.
It does not feel like The Wolverines are the sole focus in this spot. I do not think we see an upset, but I think the last-placed Wolverines will be competitive.
The Pick: Michigan +13.5
