Jacksonville State vs Liberty Prediction 2/27/25 College Basketball Picks

Jacksonville State at Liberty at 7 PM ET

In the recent contest against UTEP, the Gamecocks emerged from halftime with a 39-29 lead. Although Jacksonville State faced a 36-34 deficit in the second half, they ultimately secured a victory with a final score of 73-65. Jaron Pierre was the standout performer, contributing 23 points, nine rebounds, one assist, and one steal. Mason Nicholson supported the effort with 14 points, seven rebounds, and one assist, while Marcellus Brigham added 11 points, four rebounds, and one assist.

During the encounter with FIU on Saturday, the Flames established a strong start, achieving a 30-19 lead, and concluded the second half with a narrow 28-26 advantage. This performance culminated in a 58-45 triumph for Liberty. Taelon Peter was the standout scorer, amassing 14 points, six rebounds, and two steals while coming off the bench. Kaden Metheny added 12 points and two assists, whereas Jayvon Maughmer contributed 11 points and five rebounds over the course of 31 minutes on the court.

The Pick:

The Flames have achieved victory in five consecutive games, yet they have recorded fewer than 65 points in three of their last four appearances. In their last meeting on February 1, Liberty experienced a setback, falling 72-61 in an away game. I expect Liberty to pursue retribution in the forthcoming home rematch, although I would also like to witness a higher-scoring output and enhanced rebounding efforts. This matchup promises to be closely contested and entertaining.

North Texas vs Florida Atlantic Prediction 2/27/25 College Basketball Picks

North Texas at FAU at 7 PM ET

The North Texas Mean Green secured victories against both Tulsa and USF. Currently, the team is averaging 68.2 points per game with a shooting percentage of 45.2, while they are permitting 58.8 points on 40.9 percent shooting. Atin Wright contributes an average of 13.7 points and 2.4 rebounds, whereas Brenen Lorient averages 12 points and 1.3 assists.

The FAU Owls faced losses to Wichita State and Memphis.

Tre Carroll is contributing an average of 12.5 points and 1.5 assists, and Kaleb Glenn is averaging 11.9 points along with 4.4 rebounds.

The Pick:

Following two consecutive losses, FAU’s record stands at 10-16 against the spread this season. North Texas, having proven to be the more effective team, previously triumphed over FAU by 13 points a month prior. With a solid record of 13-9-2 against the spread, North Texas has also achieved six wins away from home this season. It seems we are presented with a favorable situation by backing the superior team. I will back North Texas here.

UAB vs Wichita State Prediction 2/27/25 College Basketball Picks

UAB at Wichita State at 9 PM ET

In the Sunday matchup against Temple, UAB opened with a 41-32 lead at halftime. They extended their advantage with a 39-32 run in the second half, ultimately winning the game with a score of 80-64. Bradley Ezewiro was the team’s leading scorer, finishing with 15 points and seven rebounds in 23 minutes off the bench. Tony Toney added 14 points and four rebounds in 34 minutes, while Ja’Borri McGhee achieved a double-double, contributing 13 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists to the victory.

In their home game on Sunday against Tulane, the Shockers entered the second half facing a 31-29 deficit. However, they mounted a remarkable comeback, outscoring their opponents 49-36 in the remainder of the game, ultimately securing a 78-67 victory. Xavier Bell led the team with an impressive performance, contributing 23 points, three rebounds, and one assist. Corey Washington supported the effort with 19 points, eight rebounds, and two assists, while Quincy Ballard added 11 points, nine rebounds, one assist, and one steal during his 31 minutes on the court.

The Pick:

With this latest victory, the Shockers have extended their winning streak to six games, consistently scoring 69 points or more in the last five. Meanwhile, UAB demonstrated a field goal percentage of 43.7 in their recent win against Temple, along with a notable rebounding margin of 47-31 and a mere eight turnovers. The Blazers have also won three consecutive games, each time surpassing the 80-point mark. For Wichita State to keep up the momentum, they will need to enhance their offensive output, but I am confident that they can achieve this at home.

Rutgers vs Michigan Prediction 2/27/25 College Basketball Picks

Rutgers at Michigan at 9 PM ET

After enduring a three-game losing streak, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights have bounced back with two victories over Washington and USC. In their latest match against the Trojans, Rutgers notched a season-high 95 points, while they also scored 89 points in their win over the Huskies. Presently, the Scarlet Knights sit in 12th place in the Big Ten standings, and with their upcoming games on the road against Michigan and Purdue, it appears unlikely that they will break into the top 10 of the conference. Rutgers is currently averaging 76.7 points per game (111th) and allowing 76.2 points per game (299th).

The Michigan Wolverines were riding a six-game winning streak but could not extend it to seven, suffering a 75-62 loss at home to Michigan State. They subsequently bounced back with a 49-46 victory over Nebraska in a low-scoring affair, which marked the lowest point total for the Wolverines this season. In that game, they also held their opponents to a season-low score. At this time, Michigan ranks second in the Big Ten standings, trailing Michigan State by half a game, and is anticipated to be one of the top two seeds in the upcoming conference tournament. The Wolverines average 79.7 points per game, placing them 50th nationally, while they allow 70.2 points per game, which ranks 130th.

The Pick:

This season, Rutgers has been unable to secure back-to-back wins in away games, and given their recent victory on the road, it seems improbable that the Scarlet Knights will triumph again in this matchup. Additionally, Rutgers has only covered the spread in 13 of their last 33 games. Therefore, it would be prudent to back Michigan to cover.

UC San Diego vs CSU Northridge Prediction 2/27/25 College Basketball Picks

UC San Diego at CSU Northridge at 10 PM ET

During the rematch in Hawaii on Saturday, the Tritons entered the second half with a significant advantage of 42-17. They continued to perform strongly, achieving a 41-27 scoring run in the latter half, which culminated in a comprehensive victory of 83-44. Aniwaniwa Tait-Jones was the standout scorer for the team, recording 19 points, five rebounds, three assists, and two steals. Additionally, Tyler McGhie contributed 17 points and three rebounds, while Nordin Kapic added 13 points, five rebounds, and three assists to the team’s success.

Last weekend, the Matadors faced UC Davis and were behind by three points at halftime. Nevertheless, CSU Northridge rallied in the second half, achieving a 41-35 scoring run that culminated in a 65-62 win. Mahmoud Fofana led the team with an impressive performance, scoring 20 points, grabbing 13 rebounds, and making two steals. Marcus Adams contributed significantly with 19 points and seven rebounds, while Scotty Washington added 14 points and five rebounds during his 39 minutes on the court.

The Pick:

Recently, the Tritons have demonstrated a remarkable scoring ability, surpassing 81 points in five of their last six games, all of which they won. In their last meeting with the Matadors on January 25, UCSD achieved a decisive 79-54 victory at home. The Tritons were able to score 12 points from 17 turnovers made by the Matadors in that game, but it is improbable that they will be able to rely on similar mistakes in this road rematch. Still, I am confident that UCSD will remain in command.

St. Mary’s vs Loyola Marymount Prediction 2/27/25 College Basketball Picks

St. Mary’s at Loyola Marymount at 11 PM ET

The Saint Mary’s Gaels currently hold a record of 25 wins and 4 losses this season, placing them at the top of the West Coast Conference. They recently achieved a victory against Gonzaga, finishing the game with a score of 74-67. The Gaels have a record of 14 wins and 14 losses against the spread, and 11 wins, 16 losses, and 1 push in over/under betting while boasting an impressive 8-1 record in away games. Augustas Marciulionis is the leading scorer for Saint Mary’s this season, averaging 14.2 points per game and contributing a team-high of 6.2 assists. Additionally, Paulius Murauskas provides significant support with an average of 12.8 points and a team-leading 8.1 rebounds per game.

This season, the Loyola Marymount Lions have recorded 16 victories and 13 defeats, placing them 6th in the West Coast Conference standings. They are coming off a strong performance, having defeated Pepperdine with a score of 93-72. The Lions’ performance against the spread stands at 12-16, and they have a 13-15 record in over/under betting, with an impressive home record of 11-5. Caleb Stone-Carrawell is the leading scorer for Loyola Marymount, averaging 13.5 points per game, while Jevon Porter contributes significantly with 12.5 points and a team-leading 7.4 rebounds per game.

The Pick:

In their last ten encounters, Saint Mary’s holds a record of 9-1 against Loyola Marymount. However, Loyola Marymount has performed well against the spread, achieving a 3-1 record in their last four matchups. The total has gone over in the last seven meetings between these teams. In their most recent encounter earlier this season, Saint Mary’s secured a victory at home with a score of 81-56, successfully covering the spread while the game exceeded the point total. Although the Lions have demonstrated strength at home, they are currently facing challenges, with a record of 2-5 in their last seven games and 2-4 against the spread in their last six. The Gaels appear to be in formidable form this season, boasting a 9-1 record in their last ten games and a 3-1 record against the spread in their last four road contests. The advantageous position seems to favor the visiting team, thus I recommend backing the Saint Mary’s Gaels along with the points.
