We’re a day away from our second Super Saturday slate of 2025. However we get a 14-game appetizer on Friday night. 14 games and a college football playoff semi-final is as much as you can ask for on a Friday in January. The good news is that a slate of any size gives us another opportunity for an Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry. We’ve gone through every match up, and found three plays that you’ll want to make for January 10th.
Keep in mind that playing all three legs of our plays in Underdog Fantasy could win you 6X your money on a single entry. Let’s dig into tonight’s plays and remember to let it ride!
Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Picks January 10
Matthew Dewoskin Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Pick Em Record (Est 11/4/2024)
All Pick Em Selections: 96-76-2
Perfect 3-0 Pick Em Entries: 12-46
Dawson Garcia Lower Than 25.5 Points+Rebounds+Assists
Minnesota heads to Madison for a match up with the Badgers. This is great spot to fade Minnesota forward Dawson Garcia.
Garcia enters this game averaging 11.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in three road games this season. He’s also gone lower than 25.5 PRA in two out of three games away from Minneapolis this season. Also, last year, Garcia only managed 14 PRA in one game against the same Badgers.
The Badgers have been stingy on defense this season. Wisconsin only allows opponents to average 71.3 points, 11.1 assists, and 33.5 rebounds against this year. Given the location, it’s safe to expect the Golden Gophers, and Garcia to end up lower than 25.5 PRA in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for January 10th.
Derik Queen Higher Than 1.5 Assists
UCLA pays a visit to the XFinity Center for a match up with Maryland. The Bruins enter this game allowing opponents to rack up 12.7 assists per game. Given the road spot, it makes sense to go higher on Derik Queen assists.
Queen comes into this game averaging 2.3 assists at home. He’s gone higher than 1.5 assists in eight out of 15 games played this year.
Betting against the UCLA defense isn’t an ideal option, but Queen is a capable passer, has shown that he sets up his teammates in his own building, and its one of the areas that UCLA isn’t elite at on defense. Look to go higher on Queen’s assists total in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry.
John Tonje Higher Than 4.5 Rebounds
When it comes to allowing opponents to grab rebounds, the Minnesota Golden Gophers allow more than their fair share. Entering tonight’s match up in Madison, the Golden Gophers have allowed opponents to snag 35.2 rebounds per game this year. That’s 203rd in the nation.
John Tonje comes into this match up averaging 5.1 rebounds per game. He’s gone higher than 4.5 rebounds in nine out of 15 games played, and should be able to get more than five boards in this match up. He just got done grabbing nine rebounds against Rutgets at the RAC. He should clear 4.5 boards against Minnesota playing in Madison.
