There can be a couple of NBA video games going down tonight, however none as compelling as the 2 Prime 10 SEC groups dealing with off.

Be our visitor when you discover higher worth or leisure—no manner—in Jazz vs. Wizards. Nothing towards Washington and Utah, however video games like Florida vs. Alabama are the place it’s at in March. Did you see Tennessee-Alabama on Saturday?

That’s not the one noteworthy faculty sport, and a number of the greatest matchups made our faculty hoops “Greatest Bets” checklist for Wednesday.

No. 13 Maryland vs. No. 17 Michigan

Poor taking pictures and dreadful rebounding led to Michigan’s loss to Illinois over the weekend. The Wolverines normally play first rate perimeter protection however allowed the Illini to sink 14 3-pointers. If you enable that many and solely hit 5 of your individual, you’re going to get crushed—like they did.

They should get proper on this sport earlier than dealing with Michigan State with a share of the Large Ten title on the road.

Maryland escaped Completely happy Valley with a win, rebounding from a three-point loss to Michigan State final week. It wasn’t the cleanest win for the Terrapins, but it surely was their eighth victory in 10 video games.

As for who wins, it’s a toss-up. Neither workforce has been taking part in lights out, which makes me suppose whoever makes the fewest errors will win. That being mentioned, since neither has been taking part in nice basketball recently, I don’t see both workforce lighting up the scoreboard.

Our decide: Underneath 154.5 (-115 at DraftKings)

No. 5 Florida vs. No. 7 Alabama

The Gators are heading to Tuscaloosa feeling fairly good, winners of eight of their final 10. Sure, the loss to Georgia was stunning and disappointing, however they rebounded effectively with an 89-70 win over Texas A&M. Their protection can be put to the check towards Alabama’s No. 1-ranked offense.

Alabama has been struggling, profitable two of its final 5. The losses had been to the No. 1, No. 5, and No. 15 groups within the nation, however this was imagined to be a championship-caliber workforce. Whereas their top-ranked offense can win video games, their No. 338-ranked protection will make it lots tougher to take action.

The Tide reside and die by the three, however Florida has probably the greatest perimeter defenses within the nation. So, I doubt Alabama will make it rain on this sport. Between that and the Gators getting extra second-chance factors due to their offensive rebounding, Florida will win outright.

Our decide: Florida ML at +130 (DraftKings)

No. 4 Tennessee vs. Ole Miss

Tennessee’s protection got here up large towards Alabama’s offense final day out. It’s going to get put to the check once more—considerably—towards a very good however not nice Ole Miss offense. Nevertheless, 79 factors could not do the trick towards the Rebels because it did within the win over Alabama.

The Volunteers catch an Ole Miss workforce that’s hitting a low on the worst time of yr. Sure, the Rebels bought a much-needed win over Oklahoma to cease the bleeding from a three-game dropping streak. However the Sooners are a mediocre workforce on their greatest day, and Ole Miss solely received by three, 87-84.

The Vols have been taking part in good basketball recently, whereas Ole Miss has not. I do know it’s a house sport for the Rebels, however I’m shocked the unfold is just 2.5 factors.

Our decide: Tennessee -2.5 at -102 (DraftKings)
