Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Picks February 15
Matt Dewoskin Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Pick Em Record (Est 11/4/2024)
All Pick Em Selections: 141-123-3
Perfect 3-0 Pick Em Entries: 14-75
Ryan Conwell Higher Than 1.5 3-Pointers Made
DePaul heads to Cincinnati for a game with Xavier, and we’ve caught a really juicy number on Ryan Conwell made 3-pointers. Conwell averages 2.8 made 3-pointers at home this year. He’s gone higher than 1.5 made three’s in eight out of 13 home games this year. Conwell also played DePaul in January and made two three-pointers on the road at Wintrust Arena.
Conwell has struggled a little in a few recent road match ups, but he gets to go back home and face DePaul. The Blue Demons allow opponents to shoot 34.7% from beyond the arc this year. That’s 236th in the nation.
Conwell has a ‘get right’ spot against a banged up DePaul team coming to Xavier. This is one of the safest plays on the board today, and should be a part of your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for February 15th.
Marcus Hill Higher Than 13.5 Points
Boston College pays a visit to Raleigh, NC for a game against the Wolfpack. The Eagles are rough on defense, and NC State guard Marcus Hill should eat here.
Hill enters this game averaging 14.1 points per game at home this year. He’s gone higher than 13.5 points in nine out of 15 home games. Hill has also cleared 13.5 points in two of his last three games.
BC enters this game allowing opponents to score 77.4 points per game this year. That’s 302nd in the nation. They also allow opponents to shoot 51.8% on two-point shots. That’s 217th in the nation.
Hill does most of his damage inside the arc. He shoots 57.6% on two-point shots at home this year. This is the case of a player getting a nice advantage against a soft opponent. Let’s lock up Hill to go higher than 13.5 points in an Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for today’s slate.
Matthew Cleveland Higher Than 19.5 Points
Miami heads to Pittsburgh for a game against the Panthers. Miami guard Matthew Cleveland has been one of the hottest players in the country for a while now, but not many have noticed because Miami has struggled.
Cleveland has gone higher than 19.5 points in seven straight games. He’s also gone higher than 19.5 points in five out of six conference road games.
Pitt comes into this game banged up. Damian Dunn is out with a fractured elbow, and Jaland Lowe will likely miss today’s match up due to a concussion. The Panthers will likely be short-handed, and they weren’t that interested in playing defense with a full compliment.
The Panthers allow opponents to shoot 34.9% from beyond the arc. That’s 249th in the nation. They also allow opponents to shoot 50.1% on two-point shots. That’s 143rd in the nation.
Cleveland has consistently played 33 or more minutes per game since December. He’s in stat padding mode and should be able to load up against a banged up Panthers squad. Let’s ride the hot hand and go higher on Cleveland’s points total in our Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for February 15th.
