Jan 9 College Basketball Picks

2 Games to take a look at today.

Top Picks

Dayton -2 vs UMass- Its never to early to start to identify the best mid major teams that could make some noise in the Tourney. One way to figure out who the threats are to see who can win conference road games. UMass is not a great team so far this year and Dayton has gotten off to a nice start. Still, it is not a given that you will go on the road and beat an inferior team. I think that Dayton has the goods here and will start to establish themselves as a team to keep an eye on.

Wichita St - 5 vs Missouri St- This is a nice early season battle between two good teams. The edge here goes to Wichita St since they are at home. Also these teams play at different tempos. Wichita would love a high scoring game while Missouri St wants to keep it low scoring. I think that will benefit the Shockers as it will put a lot of pressure for Missouri St to shoot a high percentage. I don't see that happening and see Wichita pulling away as the game progresses.
