College Basketball Preview, Picks, and Best Bets for November 10
Matt Dewoskin ATS College Basketball Picks Record (Est.November 2, 2026)
All Selections: 11-13
Perfect 3-0 Cards: 1-7
Maine at Rhode Island
Start Time: 7:00 PM EST
Maine enters this game with a 1-2 overall record and a 2-1 mark against the spread. The Black Bears covered on the road at Providence on opening night, and won outright as an underdog at Sacred Heart.
Rhode Island comes into this matchup with a 2-0 mark overall and ATS. The Rams won and covered against Holy Cross and Monmouth.
Rhode Island’s offense looks much improved over last year’s squad so far. The Rams broke 100 against Holy Cross and put up 84 against Monmouth. They’ve shot over 50% from the field, just over 70% at the free-throw line, and almost 40% from deep. Rhode Island can shoot and has always been solid defensively under Archie Miller.
Maine has a bottom-20 offense in the country and will struggle to keep up with the Rams. The number looks a little beefy, but Rhode Island should pull away late and get home on the point spread.
Best Bet: Rhode Island -17.5
Nicholls at Tulane
Start Time: 7:30 PM EST
Nicholls enters this game with a 1-2 overall record and a 1-1 mark against the spread. The Colonels covered a big number against UAB, but got blown out by UT-Rio Grand Valley in their season opener.
Tulane is 1-1 overall with a 0-2 mark ATS. The Green Wave won, but didn’t cover against UT-Martin, and dropped a buy game against Jackson State.
These two teams played last year, and Tulane won at home by 10 as an 8.5-point favorite.
Tulane gets Nicholls at home again this year, and they’re coming off a bad loss to Jackson State, so they’re clearly looking to get right. Tulane can score, but struggles on the defensive end. The Green Wave also turned the ball over 16 times against Jackson State. The good news is that Nicholls can’t really shoot, and the Colonels aren’t great on the boards.
Tulane attracts a better class of athlete, can get buckets when they need them, and is due for positive regression when it comes to turnovers. They also get to play this one in their gym, and they have owned Nicholls in this building. The Green Wave will win and cover the number in this matchup.
Best Bet: Tulane -7.5
Illinois at Texas Tech
Start Time: 8:00 PM EST
Illinois travels to Lubbock, TX with a 2-0 overall record and a 2-0 mark ATS. The Fighting Illini have wrecked Fairleigh Dickinson and Penn in their first two home games.
Texas Tech comes into this matchup with a 2-0 overall mark and a 0-2 record ATS. The Red Raiders have failed to cover massive numbers in each of their first two home games.
These two teams played last season. Illinois won by four in a game that had the Fighting Illini as 4.5-point favorites in Illinois.
Illinois may have the best offense in all of DI college hoops this year. The Flyin’ Illini return three starters that beat a version of Texas Tech that was arguably better last year. Also, Texas Tech hasn’t looked the part in their first two buy games. They’ve failed to cover against Bethune-Cookman and Jackson State. Neither team has really been tested, but Illinois shouldn’t be intimidated by Lubbock. They won this last year in Champaign, and should cover.
Texas Tech is also expected to be without forward JT Toppin for this game.
Best Bet: Illinois -2
