Illinois Fighting Illini vs Ohio State Buckeyes Picks and Predictions February 2nd 2025
Ohio State enters Sunday’s matchup against No. 18 Illinois riding a wave of momentum, while the Illini are searching for answers amid key roster challenges. As both teams battle for position in the competitive Big Ten race, all eyes will be on how Ohio State’s surging backcourt fares against an Illinois squad desperate for a turnaround. The Buckeyes (13-8, 5-5 Big Ten) have flipped the script on their season, securing three straight victories behind strong defense and stellar performances from their backcourt duo, John Mobley Jr. and Bruce Thornton. Ohio State’s hot streak began with a statement win over then-No. 11 Purdue (73-69) on Jan. 21, followed by dominant victories over Iowa (82-65) and Penn State (83-64). Head coach Jake

Alabama Crimson Tide vs Georgia Bulldogs Picks and Predictions February 1st 2025
Alabama continues to build momentum as one of the nation’s best teams, and with a highly anticipated showdown against No. 1 Auburn looming, the Crimson Tide will aim to keep their four-game winning streak alive when they host Georgia on Saturday in Tuscaloosa. Since suffering a 74-64 home loss to Ole Miss on Jan. 14, Alabama (18-3, 7-1 SEC) has reasserted itself as the nation’s top-scoring team, averaging 93.3 points per game over its last four victories. That offensive explosion has boosted the Crimson Tide’s season scoring average to an NCAA-best 90.2 points per game. Their latest win, an 88-84 road victory over No. 14 Mississippi State on Wednesday, showcased their resiliency and shot-making ability. Alabama has also hit the

Arizona State Sun Devils vs Arizona Wildcats Picks and Predictions February 1st 2025
The Arizona State Sun Devils (12-8, 3-6 Big 12) have a golden opportunity to end their home losing streak against rival Arizona (14-6, 8-1 Big 12) when they meet in Tempe on Saturday afternoon. ASU’s last home win over the Wildcats came in January 2020. Since then, the Sun Devils have struggled mightily against their in-state rivals, with head coach Bobby Hurley holding a 4-15 overall record against Arizona (2-7 at home). Despite Arizona’s dominance in recent matchups, Hurley believes that his team’s battle-tested schedule will help them be mentally prepared for the Wildcats. The Sun Devils have played 12 games away from Tempe compared to just eight home games this season. Their 7-5 record in road/neutral-site games has shown

Northwestern Wildcats vs Wisconsin Badgers Picks and Predictions February 1st 2025
Wisconsin will look to snap its road losing streak when it travels to Evanston on Saturday to face a Northwestern team that has been tough to beat at home. Both teams are coming off losses and are eager to get back on track in Big Ten play. The 17th-ranked Badgers (16-5, 6-4 Big Ten) have struggled away from home recently, dropping two straight road games, including a 76-68 loss at Maryland on Wednesday. Before that, Wisconsin picked up a dominant 83-55 home win over Nebraska, but that was sandwiched between road defeats to UCLA and Maryland. Shooting woes plagued the Badgers against Maryland, as they hit just 37.3% from the field and 9 of 27 from three-point range. Despite entering

Boston College Eagles vs Florida State Seminoles Picks and Predictions February 1st 2025
The Boston College Eagles (9-11, 1-8 ACC) are desperate to end their six-game losing streak as they host Florida State (13-8, 4-6 ACC) in a key ACC matchup on Saturday. Boston College hasn’t won since a 78-68 victory over Miami on Jan. 1. Since then, the Eagles have struggled, losing four games by 18 or more points. Their most recent loss, a 102-96 overtime battle at North Carolina, showed glimpses of promise, especially on offense. The Eagles made a season-high 14 three-pointers in that game despite missing forward Elijah Strong (10.5 PPG) for the third straight contest due to illness. With Strong out, BC has adopted a four-guard lineup, which has helped offensively but made rebounding a major challenge. BC’s
