College Basketball Best Bets for Saturday, February 11

Creighton Bluejays vs. UConn Huskies - 2:00PM ET

Since January 1st, Creighton has been one of the best teams in the entire country. Torvik has them 4th in that span, which for reference, is even higher than Purdue, the #1 team in the sport. They have been even better at home...where they are 11-1 on the season. UConn has been extremely inconsistent, they are just 2-6 in their last eight games against top 100 teams. They blew out Marquette earlier this week, so they are due for a slip up. We like Creighton here.

Illinois Fighting Illini vs. Rutgers Scarlet Knights - 2:00PM ET

Rutgers may not be the same team without Mawot Mag. The Scarlet Knights' forward was a key piece and in the last two games, one where he suffered the injury and the second fully without him, they just haven't looked the same. Illinois has been rolling lately, going 7-2 in their last nine games. They were arguably the better team on the road at Iowa last game, leading for the majority of the contest. The Illini are 11-2 at home this year, and against a hobbled Rutgers team, we expect them to bounce back and get back on the winning train yet again.

BET: Illinois -2.5 (-110) at DraftKings Sportsbook

Michigan Wolverines vs. Indiana Hoosiers - 6:00PM ET

Michigan has been a cash cow for the last week and a half, covering three straight games and keeping their season on life support. This is a "season on the line" game for the Wolverines, who will be firmly back on the bubble with a win, or firmly out for the rest of the season if they lose. Indiana is a very different team on the road than they are at Assembly Hall. The Hoosiers are just 3-5 in away games this year, and one of the biggest culprits is freshman guard Jalen Hood-Schifino. Hood-Schifino shoots just 25% on the season in away games (on 85 shot attempts). We like Michigan to get the much-needed victory in Ann Arbor.

BET: Michigan +1.5 (-110) at DraftKings Sportsbook
