NCAA Basketball Picks for Wednesday, February 22nd 2023

If you’re searching for the best NCAA basketball picks for Wednesday, February 22nd, you have certainly come to the right place. Without further ado, let’s dive into the top college basketball picks for today’s games.

Best CBB Betting Sites

Virginia Cavaliers at Boston College Eagles

Virginia vs. Boston College Predictions

Best Bet: Virginia Cavaliers -8 (-110)

Boasting a record of 21-4, the Virginia Cavaliers find themselves at the summit of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Not only have the Cavaliers won each of their last four games, but they have also won 11 of their previous 12.

Meanwhile, the Boston College Eagles (13-15) occupy 10th place in the standings. After suffering a 30-point defeat to the NC State Wolfpack earlier this month, the Eagles lost by 19 points to the Pittsburgh Panthers, so I expect them to suffer another heavy defeat at the hands of the Cavaliers.

CBB Odds

Tulane Green Wave at Houston Cougars

Tulane vs. Houston Predictions

Best Bet: Houston Cougars -14.5 (-110)

It could be argued that the Houston Cougars (25-2) are the most in-form team in college basketball right now. Indeed, the Cougars have lost just one of their past 17 outings and they head into Wednesday’s clash on a seven-game winning streak.

On the flip side, the Tulane Green Wave hold a record of 17-7. Although the Green Wave have enjoyed several positive results in recent weeks, I’m confident that high-flying Houston will make light work of Tulane on home soil.

Alabama Crimson Tide at South Carolina Gamecocks

Alabama vs. South Carolina Predictions

Best Bet: Alabama Crimson Tide -17.5 (-110)

Following a run of 14 wins in 16 games, the Alabama Crimson Tide are sitting pretty atop the Southeastern Conference. When you look at the bigger picture, the Crimson Tide have won 23 of their 27 encounters this season.

At the opposite end of the standings, the South Carolina Gamecocks (10-17) find themselves rock bottom. Having lost nine of their previous 11 outings, the Gamecocks look set to suffer another big defeat against in-form Alabama.

CBB Picks

Kentucky Wildcats at Florida Gators

Kentucky vs. Florida Predictions

Best Bet: Kentucky Wildcats -3 (-115)

The Florida Gators (14-13) head into Wednesday’s game against the Kentucky Wildcats (18-9) on the back of a 19-point loss to the Arkansas Razorbacks. That means the Gators have lost four of their last five encounters and six of their previous 10.

As for the Wildcats, they managed to claim a hugely impressive 11-point victory over the Tennessee Volunteers last time out. Having won eight of their past 11 games, the Wildcats shouldn’t struggle to dispatch off-form Florida.

Vanderbilt Commodores at LSU Tigers

Vanderbilt vs. LSU Predictions

Best Bet: Vanderbilt Commodores -2 (-110)

The Vanderbilt Commodores (15-12) may find themselves 10th in the Southeastern Conference, but they are currently enjoying a five-game winning streak. For that reason, I’m confident that Vanderbilt will cover the spread against the LSU Tigers (12-15).

After all, LSU is enduring a seemingly unstoppable 14-game losing streak. The Tigers have yet to taste victory in 2023, so I can see them suffering another damaging defeat at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
