Colby Dant (@thecolbyd), Ryan McIntyre (@Moneyline_Mac) and Troy Chewning (@Troychewning) break down the college basketball picks for November 10th, with Duke vs. Michigan State and Kansas vs. Kentucky in Chicago at the top of the card. Noah Bieniek (@NoahB77_) closes his card locking Memphis plus 16.5 against Vanderbilt.
Minnesota Steals One And The Game Balls Start Rolling
The first game ball goes to Minnesota for stealing one from Cincinnati. The Bearcats led by five with about a minute left. Then they kept missing the front end of one-and-ones, and Minnesota buried a three to win it outright. Noah Bieniek had the Gophers as his number one game ball. Kyan Evans, a role player at North Carolina last year, went for 26 and 10 with five assists. He also ran the point for Medved back at Colorado State. So buy your Golden Gophers stock now. Colby Dant also spends a few minutes on the flat call of the game winner, which deserved a lot better.
LSU was laying about 22 against Louisiana Tech, and Noah and Ryan McIntyre figured the Bulldogs could keep it within 20. They could not. LSU trampled them again, so Noah keeps preaching that this Tigers team is for real. Then Mac hands a game ball to South Carolina State, a dog of around five points that won by 15 over Chicago State. Colby cashed that moneyline too. Meanwhile Colby’s own pick is Missouri freshman Jason Crow, who dropped 34 on SIU Edwardsville. Noah wants to see Crow against better teams, because he went 3 for 18 against Saint Louis. Mark Mitchell also left that game after one minute with a broken nose.
Noah’s last ball goes to Towson, a 66-46 winner over LIU. Colby stayed off that game, but he thinks the Towson big man will be a defensive problem in that conference. LIU also dropped to 0 and 4 after bouncing all over the map. Then Mac closes the segment on Portland. The Pilots ground out a moneyline win at Hawaii to take two of three on the island trip. Colby, meanwhile, admits he took Hawaii. So Noah finishes the night 5 and 2, and Colby finally gets a winning day after a rough weekend.
The Best College Basketball Picks For November 10th Start In Tallahassee
Noah calls this the best slate of the year so far, and it opens with Florida at Florida State. The Gators are laying 10 with the total at 165 and a half. You can also find 9.5 or 10.5 depending on the shop. Last year’s meeting was a two-point game in Gainesville. This one is in Tally, and it is Florida’s first true road game of the year. So Noah points everyone to the Noles catching almost double digits. Mac locks Florida State and says Florida wins by five or six. Colby is on the same side too, which makes it a triple lock on the Seminoles at home.
Colby then lays 27 and a half with Georgetown against Delaware State and locks the Hoyas. Mac and Noah both go the other way without a bet. Next comes NJIT at Rutgers, where the Scarlet Knights are laying 25. Colby cannot lay that many with this Rutgers team. So he locks the Highlanders, fresh off their half-court game winner. Mac takes the points without a lock. Then Dayton hosts Siena at UD Arena, and the room agrees fast. Noah notes that 12 and a half is one of the shortest numbers you will see on Dayton at home in a spot like this. That makes it a triple lock on the Flyers.
Virginia Tech and Iowa landed at the Tyson Events Center in Sioux City, a minor league hockey arena. Colby wanted to bet Iowa if this were in Iowa City, so he backs off. Noah goes the other way and locks the under 142 and a half on the hockey arena angle. Next, South Alabama catches 14 and a half at UCF. The guys like the Jaguars to keep it close, and it ends up a triple lock. Then Wyoming gets 14 and a half at North Carolina. Noah says UNC ranks 243rd in offensive rebounding and 217th on the defensive glass. Wyoming, meanwhile, is the top rebounding team in the country so far. So Colby and Noah double lock the Cowboys.
Duke Versus Sparty Splits The Room
The Champions Classic opener splits the room. Duke is laying 6 and a half to Michigan State in Chicago after winning by six last year. Colby wants action and takes Sparty plus the points. Mac goes bigger and locks the Michigan State moneyline at plus 230, banking on a veteran group with revenge in mind. But Noah calls Duke one of his favorite picks of the day. Last year Duke held Fears to 0 for 10 from the field, even with his 13 assists. Also, Duke’s best players are its two bigs, and Michigan State’s front court is weak this year. So it is a lock battle.
LaSalle is the angriest lock on the card. Villanova is laying 23 and a half after Kevin Millar said playing LaSalle in front of 400 people does them no good. Mac locks LaSalle and calls it their Super Bowl. Colby and Noah are in too, and Noah adds that LaSalle has eight seniors in the rotation. Then Mac lays 32 with Xavier against Detroit for style points. Next, Colby locks Bryant plus 29 and a half at Providence. Mac battles him on a Friars bounce back. Also, Iona plus 11 and a half at Fordham ends up a double lock on the Gaels.
Central Michigan and Youngstown State is another battle. Mac locks the Chippewas with head coach Bronkema on leave, calling it a get up spot. Noah locks the Penguins, because he does not see what Central has done to earn favorite status. That line opened at four and a half and was sliding toward two. Meanwhile Noah locks Rhode Island minus 18 and a half against Maine after going 2 and 0 ATS on the Rams. Mac and Colby double lock Northeastern against a Harvard team that has only played D2 or NAIA schools. Then NC State minus 19 and a half against Presbyterian gets a triple lock. Finally, Mac locks both GW against Elon and Winthrop plus 10 at Kennesaw State.
Memphis Plus 16.5 Is The Penny System
Then the guys hit the line of the night. Vanderbilt is laying 16 and a half to Memphis, and nobody can believe it. Mac locks Memphis right away. Colby wants to sprinkle the moneyline at plus 1250, because Penny Hardaway as a dog has been money. Noah points out that last year’s Memphis team went 13 and 19 and still took a Sweet 16 Vanderbilt team to overtime. He also likes the Madlock staff hire and Northwestern transfer Jayden Reed. So it is a triple lock on the Tigers. Troy Chewning jumps in on the Penny system as well, and he wants that moneyline too.
With Troy on board, the back half moves fast. Colby locks UT Rio Grande Valley plus 7 at home against Texas State. Troy takes the points as well, so that becomes a double lock. Troy also lays 34 and a half with Iowa State, a number Colby will not touch. Earlier, Colby locked Duquesne against Washington State, and that turned into a double lock on the Dukes. Noah took the Cougars and the points instead. Then the Illinois trip to Lubbock draws a double lock on the Illini from Colby and Troy. Noah likes Illinois too, but he has other plays he likes more.
Kansas Over Kentucky Headlines The Late Window
Noah locks Northern Kentucky plus 23 and a half at Saint Louis in a big sandwich spot. The Billikens host High Point next. Noah also thinks there is a good chance Robbie Avila plays a lot here as they get him up to speed. Troy is in on the points. Next, Colby goes back to UT Martin plus 7 at Arkansas State and sprinkles the moneyline. Troy likes the over 152 and a half in that one. Then everyone gets on Green Bay at Northern Iowa. Noah likes the Phoenix moneyline at plus 148, and Troy rolls all the way to the outright. Noah also locks Houston Christian at South Dakota as the wrong team favored.
Colby keeps hunting big numbers, starting with a Fairfield lock at plus 23 and a half against Wisconsin. He also locks Weber State plus 18 and a half at Utah, because last year’s meeting was a three-point game. Little Rock plus 22 and a half at New Mexico is another Colby lock. Troy locks the over 157 and a half in that game. Meanwhile Troy locks Ole Miss minus 25 and a half against Southeastern Louisiana. Noah and Troy double lock BYU minus 28 and a half against Queens. Then Noah locks Arizona State against Hofstra and calls it a Randy Bennett non-con choke out.
The headliner is Kansas minus 4 against Kentucky at the United Center. Colby says the line stinks a little, but he is still on Kansas. Noah admits he was low on the Jayhawks in the preseason. Now he leans on their three super seniors and freshman Tyrel Stokes. He also notes Mark Pope is 5 and 6 straight up against power conference teams early in seasons at Kentucky. Troy locks it too, so Kansas becomes a triple lock. Finally, Colby closes the card by locking Montana plus 12 at San Francisco. He says the Dons win by seven, and Troy takes the Griz with him.
Three Locks And A Dog
The final card comes from Colby, Noah and Troy. Colby skips the Memphis chalk on purpose, because he figures everyone else is on it. He locks LaSalle on the revenge angle and adds the Dayton Flyers. Then his dog is Little Rock to win outright at the Pit. Noah, meanwhile, feels great about both Champions Classic plays. So he locks Duke minus 6 and a half and Kansas minus 4. Green Bay plus 3 and a half is his third lock, with the plus 148 moneyline in play. His dog is Memphis at plus 1250, next to the lock on the 16 and a half.
Troy brings the biggest spreads. He locks Northern Kentucky plus 23 and a half first. Then he lays 28 and a half with BYU, because Queens wants to play NBA ball and has been on the go nonstop. His namesake pick is Troy plus 1 and a half against LMU. And for the dog, he goes with a first half price on San Diego at Colorado. That San Diego first half moneyline sits at plus 350. So the card is set, and at 4:45 in the morning, 225 people were still watching live.
