Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Picks February 8
Matt Dewoskin Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Pick Em Record (Est 11/4/2024)
All Pick Em Selections: 132-111-3
Perfect 3-0 Pick Em Entries: 14-68
Great Osobor Higher Than 8.5 Rebounds
Northwestern heads to Seattle for a game against the Washington Huskies. The Wildcats allow opponents to grab 34.1 rebounds per game this year. That’s 157th in the nation this year. Washington big man Great Osobor should have a game here.
Osobor averages 8.7 rebounds at home this year. He’s gone higher than 8.5 rebounds in four of his last six games played overall. He’s also gone higher than 8.5 rebounds in three out of six home conference games.
Northwestern is a bit soft on the inside and doesn’t have anyone to handle Osobor’s size. Osobor should clean up the glass at home against the Wildcats and go higher than 8.5 rebounds in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry. 12.5 rebounds and assists is also in play for Osobor here.
Jalen Haynes Higher Than 7.5 Rebounds
The Rhode Island Rams take a trip to EagleBank Arena for a game against the George Mason Patriots. Rhode Island allows opponents to average 36.1 rebounds per game this year. GMU big man Jalen Haynes is going to eat against the Rams.
Jalen Haynes faced the Rhode Island Rams on the road last month, and pulled down 12 rebounds. He also averages 7.4 rebounds at home, and he’s gone higher than 7.5 rebounds in eight out of 23 games played.
The number is a little beefy for Haynes, but this is a great match up for him. He torched the Rams on the glass last month, and should go higher than 7.5 rebounds again today. Lock this one up in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for February 8th.
Adama-Alpha Bal Higher Than 13.5 Points
The San Diego Toreros stop by Santa Clara for a match up against the Broncos. This is a smash spot for Broncos sharpshooter Adama-Alpha Bal.
San Diego gives up 77.8 points per game this year. That’s 304th in the nation this year. The Toreros also allow opponents to shoot 35.5% from three-point range. That’s 277th in the nation.
Bal enters this game averaging 15.4 points at home this year. He’s gone higher than 13.5 points in 11 out of 25 games played. Bal faced San Diego on the road once this year, and only managed 11 points, but he shot 1-for-6 from beyond the arc.
Bal is a much better shooter at his home gym, and should be able to knock down a few three’s and go higher than his 13.5 points total. Get this in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for today.
