As college basketball continues to captivate fans, Vaughn Dalzell shares his top three picks for the Tuesday slate, featuring exciting clashes like Houston vs. Oklahoma State and two Big Ten showdowns.
- Rutgers at Maryland (-8): O/U 127.5
Rutgers and Maryland are set to engage in a defensive battle, boasting two of the nation’s top-six ranked defenses. With Maryland’s impressive 3-2 home record in conference play and Rutgers’ struggle to score more than 63 points in recent games, Dalzell predicts a slow-paced game. He recommends betting on Rutgers’ First Half Team Total Under 27.5, anticipating a challenging start for the Knights. Pick: Rutgers 1H Team Total Under 27.5 (1u)
- Indiana at Ohio State (-5.5): O/U 141.0
Ohio State aims to break a four-game losing streak at home, facing an Indiana team desperate for a win. Dalzell zeroes in on the first half, favoring the Hoosiers’ ability to score against Ohio State’s struggling defense. He suggests betting on Indiana’s First-Half Team Total Over 31.5, emphasizing their previous success on the road and Ohio State’s defensive vulnerabilities. Pick: Indiana 1H Team Total Over 31.5 (Risk 1.5u)
- Oklahoma State at Houston (-20.5): O/U 128.0
Oklahoma State faces a daunting challenge against Houston, with the Cougars showcasing an elite defense in their recent home games. Despite Oklahoma State’s struggles on the offensive end and a historically low first-half team total, Dalzell takes a contrarian approach. He recommends betting on Oklahoma State’s First-Half Team Total Under 24.5, anticipating a defensive battle that favors Houston. Pick: Oklahoma State 1H Team Total Under 24.5 (1u)
With a season record of 25-22 (53.1%), Dalzell continues to provide valuable insights into college basketball betting.
