A couple of pretty good unranked Pac-12 college basketball teams get together Saturday night when the Stanford Cardinal head East to play the Arizona Wildcats. Dan thinks Arizona might be getting a little too much respect here! Read his full take and get his ATS pick here!

Wisconsin’s calling card has been defense throughout its season, and the Badgers finally got back to playing their brand of defense that has made them a threat for years in the Big Ten in their win over Penn State. Can Wisconsin D up and cover with a 5 point advantage on Purdue? DJ breaks down Wisconsin vs Purdue.

The Bulldogs are at the point of their schedule where they’re likely just competing against their own standards. Saint Mary’s will challenge the Bulldogs as usual, and San Francisco seems to have its best team in years, but otherwise, Gonzaga doesn’t look like it’s going to get tested much in the West Coast Conference. So the challenge betting Gonzaga is capping these monster spreads. Dan Jamison breaks down Pacific vs the Zags.

Illinois has faced perhaps the most difficult schedule in the entire country, and perhaps that has left Brad Underwood’s team with a deceptive 4-11 record? When you lose 7 games it does have an impact on teams mentally. Is the pride and competitiveness still there with this team? Dog bettors and our own Dan Jamison will look hard at this team getting 8.5 points versus Michigan.
