Another loaded slate of college hoops betting is ready to go Wednesday night with a number of intriguing matchups set to go down in the SEC between No. 4 Tennessee and No. 18 South Carolina, in the Big 12 between BYU and No. 6 Iowa State, and in the Big East between No. 3 UConn and No. 5 Marquette. While those heavyweight matchups get the national spotlight, I’ve honed in on a few games worthy of attacking at Caesars Sportsbook with the ultimate goal of cashing in some Hump Day college basketball parlay tickets – SLAM YOUR MAN!!

Loyola-Chicago Ramblers vs. Davidson Wildcats
The Ramblers hit the road looking to keep their hat in the ring for the A10 regular season title coming off a huge comeback win against Dayton. Drew Valentine’s kids battled back from a double-digit first half deficit to log the 77-72 outright win and cover over the Flyers as short 1-point home dogs. The triumph proved to be the eighth in the team’s last nine tries both SU and against the college basketball odds which puts Desmond Watson and Co. within an arm’s reach of Richmond for regular season league bragging rights. However, Loyola-Chicago would need the Spiders to lose each of their final two games – tough ask considering the Spiders stand 14-2 SU in conference play – to win the league title outright or have Richmond split and the Ramblers win out to earn a tie. Either way, the odds of either occurring aren’t great considering Richmond’s final two games come against middling St. Joe’s and George Mason.
Adding to the intrigue of this huge letdown spot is a Davidson Wildcats team that would love nothing more than to play the role of spoiler in hopes of coming up with a big win right before the conference tourney tips off. It’s been rough sledding for the Wildcats recently, and this year has been no different with it a single game over .500 overall and owners of a poor 5-11 SU record in league play. However, it stands 14-13 versus the CBB odds overall and enters this tilt fresh off a tough 69-67 home defeat to UMass that saw it come up just short in what linemakers expected to be a coin flip game. Winners in just two of eight played Atlantic 10 home games, the average margin of defeat in the six losses clocks in at just over 5.0 points per game. The Wildcats have played to six straight low scorers in their home digs, and I fully expect Grant Huffman and his mates to step up in their home finale in a game that should go down to the wire.

Fresno State Bulldogs vs. New Mexico Lobos
The negative regression monster has taken a huge bite out of the New Mexico Lobos which finds Richard Pitino’s kids flirting with disaster. Just a few short weeks ago, Jaelen House and Co. was sitting pretty atop the Mountain West standings and looked to be nothing but locks to punch a ticket to March Madness. After dropping five of their last eight matchups (2-6 ATS), the team now finds itself squarely on the bubble without much of a shot to take home regular season MWC bragging rights. While the home finale against Fresno State won’t allow it to log a resume building Quadrant 1 victory, it will afford the team the opportunity to get itself right and work out the kinks in order to get their bodies and minds right for the regular season finale against league-leading Utah State over the weekend.
The last time the Lobos took to their home hardwood, they dropped a sickening 78-77 decision to Air Force as decided 18.5-point favorites. If UNM is to miss out on qualifying for the NCAA tournament, they can pinpoint the reason why. With that the case, I fully expect New Mexico to return to its home hardwood dead set on hanging a crooked number to get back into the win column. If they don’t, Pitino will likely be served his walking papers at the conclusion of the season with New Mexico much more talented than it’s shown during the current rough patch. The Lobos stand 12-3 SU and 9-5 ATS in their 14 lined home games. Though it enters this tilt having failed to cover four straight in front of the hometown faithful, the Bulldogs 223rd ranked AdjD per the Pomeroy Ratings should offer little resistance for the Lobos 17th ranked scoring offense that averages nearly 83 points per game. If UNM brings it’s “A” game to the floor, this will be a runaway victory for the home team!
