Matt Dewoskin Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Pick Em Record (Est 11/4/2024)
All Pick Em Selections: 127-104-3
Perfect 3-0 Pick Em Entries: 14-64
Drew Thelwell Higher Than 2.5 Assists
Purdue pays a visit to Iowa City tonight for a match up with the Hawkeyes. The Boilermakers allow opponents to dish out 14.1 assists per game this year. That’s 249th in the nation. Let’s ride with Iowa guard Drew Thelwell to go higher on his assists total.
Thelwell enters tonight averaging 3.1 assists per game overall. In home games, he averages 3.3 assists per game. Thelwell has gone higher than 2.5 assists in four straight home games and seven of his last eight games in Iowa City overall.
Purdue struggles to deny entry passes, and Thelwell has shown an ability to set up his teammates. It’s not one of the sexier picks on the board, but it is one of the safer plays. Look for Thelwell to go higher than 2.5 assists in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for February 4th.
L.J. Cryer Higher Than 13.5 Points
Oklahoma State heads to Houston for a game with the Cougars tonight. The Cowboys come into this match up allowing opponents to average 74.8 points per game, and shoot over 35% from beyond the arc. This is a smash spot for Houston sharpshooter L.J. Cryer.
Entering this game, Cryer averages 15.1 points per game at home. He’s gone higher than 13.5 points in 11 out of 21 games played this year. He’s also faced Houston once already this year, and scored 18 points.
This is a great spot for Cryer at home against a soft defense. Cryer should fly over 13.5 points here and you’ll want him in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry.
Jeremiah Fears Higher Than 2.5 Turnovers
Oklahoma heads into The Jungle for a match up with Auburn. Jeremiah Fears enters this game averaging 3.0 turnovers per game on the road. He’s going to hand the ball back to the Tigers at least three times in this game.
Fears has gone higher than 2.5 turnovers in two out of four road conference games. He’s also gone higher in 13 out of 21 games played this year.
Auburn generates 14.1 turnovers per game at home this year. That’s middle of the pack, but the Tigers are a top 20 defense in the country this year. They should mess with Fears and get him to hand the ball back at least three times in The Jungle tonight. Let’s go higher on his turnovers total in our Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for February 4th.
