Saturday's Best NCAAB Bets
By Covers.com
Virginia Tech at Oklahoma State (-1, 125.5)
These teams played in the consolation finals of the NIT Season Tip-Off in New York. The Hokies won 59-57 as Erick Green scored 18 and Dorian Finney-Smith had 10 points and 14 rebounds.
Markel Brown had 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Cowboys.
Unfortunately for OSU, the game was a harbinger. They’ve continued to struggle offensively, and rank 262nd nationally in shooting percentage (41.1).
The Hokies enter 10-3, with losses to top-ranked Syracuse, at Minnesota and against Kansas State.
The Cowboys have lost three of four to fall to 7-5. They do own a 38-game non-conference home winning streak, the third-longest in school history. But that streak ends here.
Pick: Virginia Tech
Utah Utes at Colorado Buffaloes (-16.5, 133)
Coming off a 92-34 destruction of New Orleans on Wednesday, the Buffaloes are brimming with confidence heading into their Pac-12 opener against Utah.
Carlon Brown’s 18 points led five players in double figures as Colorado (8-4) won its third straight and posted its largest margin of victory since the 2005-06 season. Brown played three years at Utah before transferring in the summer of 2010, so he’ll be extra motivated for this one.
The Utes (3-7) are one of the worst offensive teams around, ranking 324th in scoring (58.8) and 296th in 3-point shooting percentage (29.6). And they allow opponents to shoot 47.5 percent, which ranks 320th.
In addition, two starting guards have been unable to practice fully. Chris Hines is still nursing the broken bone in his left thumb, and guard Cedric Martin is dealing with plantar fasciitis.
Pick: Colorado

Louisville Cardinals at Kentucky Wildcats, noon, CBS (-12, 136.5)
Louisville point guard Peyton Siva appears fully recovered from an ankle injury he suffered earlier this season.
After going 2 of 12 from the floor with 10 turnovers combined the previous two games, he finished 5 of 10 from the field with 15 points, six assists and five steals in a three-point loss to Georgetown this week. And Siva maintains the Cardinals gained a valuable lesson in their first defeat of the season to the Hoyas.
“This humbled a lot of us,” Siva told the Louisville Courier- Journal. “It showed us our defense wasn’t that good. That we need to execute more on offense. It came to pass today that everybody learned what we needed to do.”
Iowa Hawkeyes at Wisconsin Badgers, 1 p.m., Big Ten Network (-18.5, 121)
Badgers forward Ryan Evans sure knows how to make a first impression. The junior scored a career-high 22 points in his first Big Ten start against Nebraska earlier this week, going 9 of 11 from the floor with two 3-pointers - doubling his season total. Evans was a defensive specialist on the team last year but his offensive game gives the defensive-minded Badgers a key new weapon in their arsenal.
"You know, (Evans) was open. He got himself open," Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "You always like that because it sends a message to other teams that you're going to play that you can't play off of him too much. That was very welcomed."
Providence Friars at Georgetown Hoyas, 2 p.m., ESPN2 (-14, 136)
Georgetown freshman Otto Porter already has his own nickname from the student section: “Otto-matic.” The forward wasn’t on a lot of team’s radars because he opted not to play AAU ball, but he has turned plenty of heads in the nation’s capital, as he’s second on the team in rebounds (5.9 per game), third in minutes (26.8) and fifth in scoring (8.3).
“He’s the most prepared freshman that I’ve coached,” coach John Thompson III told the Washington Post. “That’s not saying he’s the best, but he’s the most prepared to compete at this level. And it’s because of that understanding.”
Illinois Fighting Illini at Purdue Boilermakers, 4 p.m., ESPN2 (-6.5, 130)
It just might be the season of the bench mob for Purdue. The Boilermakers reserves combined for 36 points as they made 16 of 27 shots in a win over Iowa this week. The non-starters also contributed seven rebounds and committed just three turnovers. Not bad, for a group led by D.J. Byrd and John Hart, who both were hobbled by injuries early in the preseason.
“You have to have balance,” Purdue coach Matt Painter told the West Lafayette Journal Courier. “You have to have guys coming off the bench and being productive. Very rarely do you play 10 people in the first half, and they all have a field goal. I don't know if that ever has happened for us."
Creighton Bluejays at Wichita State Shockers, 6 p.m., ESPNU (-6.5, 151.5)
Bluejays coach Greg McDermott is discouraged by his team’s defense. Missouri State guards Kyle Weems and Anthony Downing shredded his squad in a 77-65 upset. With no lockdown defender, opposing stars have been able to dissect the Bluejay defense, including a 34-point performance by Northwestern guard Drew Crawford.
"We don't have a good enough defender to put on somebody that's capable of getting it going," McDermott told Omaha.com. "We have to try to mask it with our team defense, and we had some breakdowns. (Missouri State) came into our house, punched us in the mouth and we really didn't do anything about it."
Ohio State Buckeyes at Indiana Hoosiers, 6 p.m., ESPN2 (4, 139)
Buckeyes guard Jordan Sibert is emerging as yet another weapon for the Big Ten favorites. Sibert, despite tearing ligaments in his right shooting hand earlier this week, buried four 3-pointers - half as many as he made in all 13 non-conference games this season – to help pace Ohio State to an 87-54 win over Northwestern. Sibert said he is finding his stroke after re-dedicating himself to shooting more than 400 jumpers a night after practice.
“I kind of got complacent,” he told the Columbus Dispatch. “With me having a good spring and summer shooting, I didn’t work as hard on my shot once preseason practice started in October.”
Gonzaga Bulldogs at Xavier Musketeers, 8 p.m., ESPN2 (-3.5, 143)
Xavier will finally be back at full strength. The team struggled to a 1-2 mark at the Diamond Head Classic in Hawaii as it welcomed back suspended guard Mark Lyons during the tournament. But the Musketeers will finally have their depth fully restored when Dez Wells and Landen Amos return from their suspensions against the Bulldogs.
“It was tough (sitting out),” Lyons told Cincinnati.com. “I saw my team out there struggling on offense and defense and I know that’s because of me and me being out. I made a bad decision in the game against UC. Now I’m back and ready for action.”
