College Basketball Best Bets for Saturday, March 4

Michigan State Spartans vs. Ohio State Buckeyes - 12:00PM ET

The Spartans are arguably playing as well as anyone in the sport, even if the results don't necessarily show it. In the last three games, Michigan State is shooting a whopping 57% from three point range. While Ohio State has played better as of late, we aren't concerned. Michigan State historically has been dominant on Senior Night under Tom Izzo. The Spartans have won 16 straight home Senior Night games, all by six or more points. Take the home team.

North Carolina Tar Heels vs. Duke Blue Devils - 6:30PM ET

The greatest rivalry in college basketball renews here, with North Carolina in desperate need of a victory to secure their spot in the NCAA Tournament. Lucky for Carolina, they have been playing their best ball recently. The Tar Heels have now won three straight games, including a blowout home win against Virginia. Duke has been absolutely abysmal on the road this season, going just 3-6 in away games but an incredible 0-6 against top 100 teams away from home. Expect UNC to pull away here.

BET: North Carolina -2.5 (-110) at DraftKings Sportsbook

Arizona Wildcats vs. UCLA Bruins - 10:00PM ET

These two teams have dominated Pac 12 play all season long. There's one major difference, however. UCLA has been just 'okay' against the best teams they have played, going 3-4 against top 40 opponents this season including a six point loss to Arizona.  Arizona on the other hand, has been the best team in the country against great teams this year. They are an amazing 6-0 vs. top 40 opponents. This spread is too high for how close these teams are in talent.

BET: Arizona +5.5 (-110) at DraftKings Sportsbook
