As the calendar moves into February, this is the time of year people start paying attention to college basketball. And the teams that are battling for postseason spots know now is the best time to make an impression on a selection committee.
#13 Kentucky takes on #17 Auburn in the only game pairing Top 25 teams today. It’s been an up-and-down year for UK, and they’re a three-point underdog heading to The Plains. Bruce Pearl has his team playing outstanding basketball right now, with three straight SEC wins and a big comeback in regulation to beat Ole Miss in Oxford in double overtime. And when Big Blue Nation comes to town, no matter their ranking, it’s always an event on The Plains.
The American Conference has had their share of letdowns out of the league this year, which makes the Cincinnati Bearcats battle with #21 Houston today even more important. The Bearcats need some top quadrant wins, and won’t find as many on their schedule as they’d like. Senior Jarron Cumberland will need to have a big day for the home team.
One of the biggest movers today has been #16 Butler, who opened as 8.5 point favorites over Providence today in their Big East tilt, but the 17-4 Bulldogs are getting less respect from the wagering community, as it’s down to 6.5 before tip-off.
Below are the lines at DraftKings as of 10:30 a.m. for NCAA Division I college basketball games on February 1st.
