Marshall vs South Alabama Prediction 2/13/25 College Basketball Picks

Marshall at South Alabama at 8 PM ET

During the home contest against Arkansas State last Wednesday, Marshall found itself down 35-29 as it began the second half. Nevertheless, the Thundering Herd responded vigorously, orchestrating a 48-37 run that culminated in a comeback win, concluding the match at 77-72. Nate Martin was the standout performer, finishing with 18 points, 14 rebounds, and two assists, thereby achieving a double-double. Additionally, Dezayne Mingo made a notable impact with 14 points, 10 assists, and five rebounds in 38 minutes of play.

In their matchup against Akron on Saturday, the Jaguars found themselves in the locker room trailing by six points. South Alabama was unable to narrow the gap, as they were outscored 44-37 in the second half, ultimately losing the game with a final score of 80-67. Barry Dunning led the team in scoring, achieving a double-double with 22 points, 12 rebounds, and one assist. Elijah Ormiston contributed 15 points and one rebound, while Judah Brown added 10 points and five rebounds from the bench.

The Pick:

The Jaguars have struggled offensively in recent games, managing to score fewer than 68 points in six of their last seven contests, resulting in a 3-4 record. In contrast, Marshall has demonstrated a strong offensive performance, scoring 71 or more points in five of their last six games during a successful 5-1 stretch. This matchup poses a significant challenge for the Jaguars. However, if South Alabama can minimize their errors, they may have a chance to secure a victory.

Maryland vs Nebraska Prediction 2/13/25 College Basketball Picks

Maryland at Nebraska at 8:30 PM ET

In their latest encounter, Maryland delivered an impressive performance against Rutgers. Despite allowing 81 points on defense, the offense excelled, amassing 90 points. The team scored 49 points in the first half and maintained a strong lead throughout the match. Maryland recorded a shooting accuracy of 44.6 percent from the field and 37 percent from beyond the arc. Derik Queen has been a formidable opponent for other teams, finishing the game with 29 points, 15 rebounds, and five assists. With an overall record of 18-6, Maryland has a 12-12 mark against the spread, and the total has surpassed the set line in 14 games. The team averages 82.8 points per game while their defense allows 66.5 points, placing them 21st in offensive rankings and 44th in defensive rankings.

In their most recent matchup against Ohio State, Nebraska secured a victory with a score of 79-71. The team demonstrated impressive shooting, achieving 51.9 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from three-point range. Brice Williams delivered an outstanding performance, contributing 24 points, 10 rebounds, and two assists. Currently, Nebraska holds an overall record of 16-8 and has a 14-10 record against the spread. The Cornhuskers have excelled at home, boasting a 10-2 record in such games. Offensively, they average 76.2 points per game, while their defense allows 71.2 points. The offense is ranked 125th in the league, whereas the defense is positioned at 169th.

The Pick:

Maryland has had a generally positive season, yet they have encountered difficulties in away games. Their away record is 2-5, and they have struggled as underdogs with a 1-3 record. Brice Williams is the leading player on the court, but even though Queen has shown promise, he is not anticipated to perform at his best in this game. Nebraska is likely to increase its scoring and cover the spread effectively.

Memphis vs South Florida Prediction 2/13/25 College Basketball Picks

Memphis at South Florida at 9 PM ET

The Memphis Tigers currently hold a record of 20-4 following their recent victory over Temple, which concluded with a score of 90-82. The teams were evenly matched at halftime, each scoring 35 points, but Memphis surged in the second half, netting 55 points to secure the win. The Tigers demonstrated impressive shooting statistics, achieving 56.1% from the field, 42.1% from beyond the arc, and 72% from the free-throw line. PJ Haggerty was the standout performer for Memphis, contributing 20 points and seven assists, while Dain Dainja supported the effort with 18 points and eight rebounds.

The South Florida Bulls have recorded a 12-12 season thus far, following a 75-70 loss to Wichita State in their latest game. They entered halftime with a 36-32 advantage but surrendered 43 points in the second half, resulting in the defeat. The Bulls achieved a field goal percentage of 52.2%, a three-point shooting percentage of 17.6%, and a free-throw percentage of 70.4%. However, they were significantly outperformed in rebounding, with a total of 42 rebounds for Wichita State compared to just 22 for South Florida. Jamille Reynolds led the Bulls with 18 points and six rebounds, while Jimmie Williams contributed 12 points and one rebound.

The Pick:

Memphis has conceded at least 77 points per game in three of their last five contests, yet their high-powered offense has consistently scored 83 or more points in three straight games. Meanwhile, South Florida has alternated between wins and losses in their previous five games, achieving totals exceeding 151.5 points in two of their last three matchups. I recommend taking the over in this game, as I foresee Memphis having a significant offensive performance against the USF defense.

Liberty vs New Mexico State Prediction 2/13/25 College Basketball Picks

Liberty at New Mexico State at 9 PM ET

The Liberty Flames have achieved a record of 19-5 this season following their recent victory over Sam Houston, with a final score of 64-61. At halftime, Liberty held a narrow lead of 33-29 and managed to secure the win despite being outscored in the second half. The team recorded shooting percentages of 43.8% from the field, 32.1% from beyond the arc, and 81.3% from the free-throw line during the match. Kaden Metheny was the standout performer for Liberty, contributing 26 points and seven rebounds, while Colin Porter supported the effort with 10 points and three assists.

After their latest game, the New Mexico State Aggies’ season record stands at 12-11, following a loss to UTEP with a score of 66-63. The Aggies were down 28-24 at halftime but managed to score 39 points in the second half, ultimately falling short. The team’s shooting percentages were 30.4% from the field, 23.3% from three-point territory, and 71% from the free-throw line. Emmanuel Tshimanga was the leading scorer for New Mexico State, finishing with 13 points and six rebounds, while Christian Cook added 12 points and two assists to the team’s efforts.

The Pick:

Currently, the Flames hold a 2-2 record in their last four games played on the road, yet they boast a commendable shooting percentage of 49.1% for the season. On the other hand, New Mexico State has faced difficulties, suffering five losses in their last six games and recording a shooting percentage of merely 42.6%. Additionally, the Aggies have scored 63 points or fewer in four of their last five outings, suggesting they will encounter substantial obstacles when facing the Liberty defense. Therefore, backing the Flames in this away game is recommended.

In the away contest against LMU on Saturday, the Dons took the court for the second half with a 36-28 lead.

Gonzaga has scored 73 points or more in 11 of their last 12 games, achieving a record of 9 wins and 3 losses during this period. In contrast, San Francisco struggled with their shooting, achieving only 38.9 percent in their recent victory against LMU, while allowing their opponents to shoot 52.2 percent. The Dons secured their win by capitalizing on 21 points from 18 turnovers. Although San Francisco may not be able to depend on a similar number of mistakes in this matchup, the betting line appears favorable enough for them to secure a narrow victory.
