Free College Basketball Pick Today: Total Under 138.5 (-110)

Indiana State–Valparaiso Under 138.5 makes sense because this matchup consistently produces slower, half‑court basketball, and the MVC Tournament historically tightens games even further. Indiana State scores 73.2 ppg in league play but also allows 78.1, and a big part of that is pace—they’re not a transition-heavy team, and their possessions tend to stretch deep into the clock. Valparaiso plays even more methodically, averaging 71.4 ppg in conference games on 42.8% shooting, and their offense rarely pushes tempo unless forced. The first meeting this season finished 76–75 (151 points) but that was an outlier shooting performance for both sides, with each team hitting over 52% from the field according to ESPN’s box score . Over a larger sample, MVC Tournament games with totals 131.5 or higher have gone Under 46–22 the last decade, and this matchup fits that profile: Indiana State’s defense is vulnerable inside but Valpo doesn’t have the firepower to exploit it consistently, and both teams rank bottom‑half of the league in offensive rebounding, which limits second‑chance scoring. With two deliberate offenses, a tournament environment that historically suppresses scoring, and a matchup that trends lower when shooting normalizes, Under 138.5 is the stronger side.

Free College Basketball Pick Today: Utah Valley -9 (-110)

Massive Thursday Card up with Big CBB TOTAL Steam move, a 24-2 Conf Tournament Side, a BIG * Late NBA Play and more. Comp play below

The Thursday Comp play is on Utah Valley at 8:30 eastern. The Wolverines are 1st in the WAC and have won 7 of the last 8. This is their 3rd meeting with Southern Utah this Year. They beat them by 17 at home then lost as a 12 point favorite by 14 points on the road. Southern Utah is off a big revenge win over Utah Tech last out but should not be too confident here and looking at this odd scheduling scenario we see that March Road favorites of 6 or more are 100% perfect to the spread if they lost as a road favorite of 5 or more in the last meeting between the two teams. Also let me add this nuggets. Utah Valley is 22-0 to the spread as a favorite between -2 and -10 if they have rest of less than 7 days and Revenge for a favored loss. Play on Utah Valley. GL Rob V-

Sport/League: CBB

Date/Time: March 5, 2026 9:00 PM EST

Free College Basketball Pick Today: New Mexico State -5.5 (-120)

Ricky's play on NMSU.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- New Mexico State is 9-3 ATS in its last 12 games played in March.

- Jacksonville State is 1-5 in its last 6 games.

- Jacksonville State is 1-4 in its last 5 games against an opponent in the Conference USA conference.

Verdict: The value is on the Home favorite.

Event: (306583) Coppin State at (306584) Morgan State: Spread

Sport/League: CBB

Date/Time: March 5, 2026 8:00 PM EST

Free College Basketball Pick Today: Morgan State -6.5 (-110)

Morgan State has been one of the hotter teams in the MEAC and should have the edge again in this matchup. The Bears beat Coppin State by 9 points earlier this season on the road, and now they get a much more comfortable spot. Morgan State’s offense has been clicking lately and Coppin State has struggled to keep up with teams that can score in bunches. With the Bears playing confident basketball right now, this is a good spot for them to pull away again. Lay the points with Morgan State.

Joe Duffy

Event: (795) Drake at (796) Southern Illinois: Total

Sport/League: CBB

Date/Time: March 5, 2026 4:30 PM EST

Free College Basketball Pick Today: Total Over 135.5 (-112)

Every power line points towards a big over. The official outlaw line is 141.5.  Our outlaw line is what the line would be without public perception or square line moves.

One of my best has 143 as the total. KenPom has 144. Bart Torvik has 143. Haslam Metrics above 144. ActionNetwork at 139.7. Evan Miya 143.5. SportsLine has 74 percent of sims going over with projected total at 145.

A brief recalibration was all it took to halt the first slowdown since October, and the results have already followed. The adjustment has sparked a 15-7 surge, keeping the long-term machine rolling exactly the way it has for decades. This is not a flash in the pan — it’s the continuation of a professional career that has been producing winners since 1988.

The numbers continue to speak for themselves:

All Sports: 419-349 (55%) +3648
Basketball: 259-215 (55%) +2249
College Basketball: 179-138 (56%) +2703
NBA: 65-54 (55%) +564

College hoops has been a major engine all season, delivering a steady stream of profitable cards while the overall portfolio continues to grind out long-term gains.

Tonight the focus is squarely on the hardwood with three college basketball releases ready to go. When the systems line up and the numbers show value, the card stays disciplined and selective — exactly the formula that has produced decades of sustained success.
