Maryland Terrapins vs Nebraska Cornhuskers Picks and Predictions January 19th 2025
Nebraska and Maryland are both feeling the pressure after tough losses earlier this week, and they’re looking for redemption as they face off on Sunday in College Park. With Nebraska struggling on the road and Maryland trying to keep their perfect home record intact, this game has all the makings of a nail-biter. Let’s be honest—Nebraska hasn’t had much luck on the road in the Big Ten this season. They’re 0-3, and those losses haven’t been close. The Cornhuskers have been losing by an average of 27.7 points per game, and their defense has been a glaring weakness. Opponents are shooting 54.4% from the field and almost 50% from three-point range. That’s a big yikes. Even worse, Nebraska has been

Cincinnati Bearcats vs Arizona State Sun Devils Picks and Predictions January 18th 2025
Two teams with contrasting styles but shared struggles aim to find their footing in Big 12 conference play. After strong starts to the season, both Cincinnati and Arizona State have hit turbulence in their inaugural Big 12 campaigns. On Saturday afternoon, the Bearcats (11-5, 1-4) will host the Sun Devils (10-6, 1-4) in a pivotal matchup as both teams look to reverse their fortunes. The transition to the Big 12 has not been kind to Cincinnati or Arizona State. Both teams have managed just one conference win apiece, with their sole victories coming against last-place Colorado. For Cincinnati, that victory came on Wednesday in a gritty 68-62 road win. Simas Lukosius, the team’s leading scorer at 12.5 points per game,

Louisville Cardinals vs Virginia Cavaliers Picks and Predictions January 18th 2025
As Louisville and Virginia prepare to face off in an ACC rematch on Saturday, the two teams find themselves on starkly contrasting paths. The Cardinals, riding a seven-game winning streak, are surging, while the Cavaliers aim to end a four-game skid that began with a home loss to Louisville two weeks ago. Virginia (8-9, 1-5 ACC) has struggled to find consistency, with their recent loss coming in heartbreaking fashion—a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from SMU’s Boopie Miller sealing a 54-52 defeat on Wednesday. Despite the loss, interim head coach Ron Sanchez saw progress. “It’s definitely a step in the right direction with this group,” Sanchez said, highlighting his team’s effort despite subpar shooting nights from leading scorers Isaac McKneely and Elijah Saunders.

The Cyclones (15-1, 5-0 Big 12) are fresh off a dominant 17-point win over No. 9 Kansas, a victory that further solidified their standing as one of the nation’s top teams. However, head coach T.J. Otzelberger is ensuring that his squad remains grounded and focused. This mindset has fueled Iowa State’s dominant stretch, with six of their last seven wins coming by double
