Packing for Vegas: College Basketball Picks Nov. 26

Sometimes you bet on a team, and sometimes you bet against a team.

Yesterday, I took St. Joseph's over Indiana, and it wasn't because I was particularly high on the Hawks. I just know that the Hoosiers are really bad. My pick was a winner as St. Joe's (-10) cruised to a 26-point victory. As I've said before, I believe coach Tom Crean will restore the program, however it will take time. Until I see some larger spreads, I will continue to bet against Indiana.

Today I like Blake Griffin and the Oklahoma Sooners giving four to UAB. I will preview the match-up in this article. I expected Oklahoma to get to the finals when the tournament began, and I'm going to stick with my prediction. My bet is that Oklahoma will win by at least five points tonight.

Another game to watch out for is the Montana State-Oregon State game. Guess what? I like Montana State. I'll admit, I know nothing about Montana State. However, just like Indiana, Oregon State is terrible. The Beavers won a total of six games last season. Their football team won more games. One of their losses came to Montana State. I'm taking the points until this year's Oregon State team shows me they can beat anyone.

 

Today's picks: Oklahoma -4; 2 units

                    Montana St. +6; 1 unit

 

Season Record: 7-3 (70%); + 6.7 units
