Virginia vs Pittsburgh Prediction 2/3/25 College Basketball Picks

Virginia at Pittsburgh at 7 PM ET

The Virginia Cavaliers currently hold a record of 10 wins and 12 losses this season, placing them in 15th position within the ACC. They recently experienced a narrow defeat, losing 74-75 to Virginia Tech. Against the spread, the Cavaliers have a record of 9-13, while their performance in over/under games stands at 13-9. Additionally, they have struggled on the road, with a record of 1-5 this season. Leading the team in scoring is Isaac McNeely, who averages 13.3 points, 3 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game, while Elijah Saunders contributes with an average of 11.8 points and 5.5 rebounds.

This season, the Pitt Panthers have recorded 14 victories and 7 losses, positioning themselves in 8th place within the ACC. They recently experienced a close loss to Wake Forest, with a final score of 74-76. The Panthers’ performance against the spread stands at 11-10, and they have a 13-7-1 record in over/under betting, complemented by a strong home record of 10-2. Jaland Lowe leads the team in scoring, averaging 17.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, and a team-high 5.6 assists, while Ishmael Leggett contributes an average of 16.5 points and 5.7 rebounds per game.

The Pick:

Pitt is rightly considered the favorite, given their superior performance this season and their formidable home record, in contrast to Virginia’s struggles in away games. Both teams have a combined record of 16-4 in overs over their last 20 contests, and all six of their past meetings have gone over the point total. It is wise to take the Over.

Charleston vs William & Mary Prediction 2/3/25 College Basketball Picks

Charleston at William & Mary at 8 PM ET

In their Thursday matchup against Stony Brook, the Cougars began the game with a 36-32 disadvantage. They rallied in the second half, executing a 49-38 run that led to an eventual 81-74 triumph. AJ Smith and Derrin Boyd were the standout scorers, each contributing 25 points, with Smith also recording four rebounds, two assists, and two steals, while Boyd added two rebounds and three assists. Ante Brzovic further bolstered the team’s performance with 17 points, five rebounds, and three assists, and CJ Fulton completed a double-double with 11 rebounds, 11 assists, and two points in 39 minutes of action.

Facing Campbell on Thursday, the Tribe entered the second half with a daunting 38-17 deficit. The team experienced further difficulties in the second half, suffering a 58-38 run against them, culminating in a lopsided road loss of 96-55. Matteus Case was the only starter to score in double figures, recording 17 points, four rebounds, and one assist. Off the bench, Finn Lally provided valuable support with 10 points, one rebound, and one assist in 13 minutes of play.

The Pick:

Charleston has recorded 76 or more points in four straight contests, boasting a 3-1 record in that timeframe, and they are anticipated to perform well offensively on Monday. On the other hand, William & Mary is reeling from a notably poor performance against Campbell. Despite this setback, the Tribe had previously won two out of their last three games, scoring 74 points or more in each. I expect William & Mary to rebound effectively, yet it remains probable that Charleston will secure the cover.

Iowa State vs Kansas Prediction 2/3/25 College Basketball Picks

Iowa State at Kansas at 9 PM ET

This season, the Iowa State Cyclones have achieved a record of 17 wins and 4 losses, having recently suffered a defeat to Kansas State with a final score of 80-61. The Cyclones entered halftime trailing 37-35 and allowed 43 points in the second half, which ultimately led to their loss. In terms of shooting performance, Iowa State managed 36.5% from the field, 44.4% on three-point attempts, and 78.9% from the free-throw line. Tamin Lipsey was the leading scorer for Iowa State, finishing the game with 20 points and three assists, while Curtis Jones added 14 points and collected six rebounds.

The Kansas Jayhawks have recorded a season record of 15-6 after their latest game, in which they fell to Baylor by a score of 81-70. The team had a promising start, leading 40-21 at halftime, but they were unable to maintain their advantage, being outscored 60-30 in the second half. In terms of shooting performance, the Jayhawks achieved 45.6% from the field, 27.3% from three-point territory, and 63.2% from the free-throw line. Hunter Dickinson was the leading scorer for Kansas with 20 points and five rebounds, while Dajuan Harris Jr. added 12 points and eight assists to the team’s efforts.

The Pick:

The Iowa State Cyclones have experienced two successive losses, notably being outperformed by a lackluster Kansas State team on their home turf. Although Iowa State is the slightly more proficient offensive unit in this encounter, their recent road performances over the past four games have been problematic. Given the inconsistency of the Kansas team, it is challenging to predict their performance; however, I will choose to bet against Iowa State while they are on the road. I suggest to back the Jayhawks.

North Texas vs UAB Prediction 2/3/25 College Basketball Picks

North Texas at UAB at 9 PM ET

The North Texas Mean Green approach this contest aiming to rebound from a narrow 54-50 loss to UTSA in their last outing, resulting in a season record of 16-5. Atin Wright stands out as the team’s top scorer, averaging 13.9 points per game along with 2.3 rebounds per game. Meanwhile, Brenen Lorient contributes significantly as well, with an average of 12.5 points per game and 4.5 rebounds per game, being the sole another player to reach double figures in scoring for North Texas this season.

The UAB Blazers enter this matchup aiming to capitalize on their recent victory against Charlotte, where they secured a 96-78 win, thereby enhancing their season record to 14-8. Yaxel Lendeborg leads the team with an impressive average of 17.6 PPG and 10.4 RPG, while also contributing a team-high of 4.4 APG. Christian Coleman follows with 11.5 PPG and 7.2 RPG, and Ja’Borri McGhee adds 10 PPG along with 2.5 APG. Additionally, Efrem Johnson averages 10.1 PPG, and Alejandro Vasquez contributes 11 PPG, rounding out the roster of UAB’s double-digit scorers thus far this season.

The Pick:

I believe that UAB is ideally positioned in this matchup, especially as they seek retribution following their close defeat to North Texas in their previous encounter. North Texas benefited from a stroke of luck during that game, and I anticipate that the tides will shift in favor of UAB this time. I am confident in backing the Blazers for this contest.
