John Calipari's men have had quite the week, upsetting Auburn and Alabama and losing a close contest to LSU.
The Wildcats pace of play and shooting will propel them to a race to 10 victory on Tuesday night. Kentucky is fifth in the country in offensive efficiency and plays at a staggering pace that can overwhelm the Bulldogs early.
Kentucky top the nation in three-point percentage versus the average opponent, shooting nearly 42%. Pace, three-point shooting, and offensive efficiency are a recipe for success in NCAAB Race to 10 bets. Bet Kentucky at +100 odds tonight.

Rock, chalk, Jayhawk! Kansas has defeated the Baylor Bears, Texas Longhorns, and Oklahoma Sooners in the past two weeks. Sportsbooks like the Jayhawks to come out on top in this one as well, with a seven-point spread on the game.

The Jayhawks are on a roll and are one of the best shooting teams in the country, converting nearly 52% of total field goals versus the average opponent. College Basketball Player of the Year candidate Hunter Dickinson and Kevin McCullar lead one of the best offenses in the nation, scoring 77 points per game. Plus, Bill Self's squad shoots over 37% from three on the year. Bet on the Jayhawks to hit a couple early buckets and win the race to 10.
Texas vs Texas Tech
Matchup: Texas vs Texas Tech 9pm ET
| Team | Odds | Record |
|---|---|---|
| Texas | -105 | 17-10 |
| Texas Tech | -135 | 19-8 |
Pick: Texas -105
While they're not as talented as in years' past, the Longhorns have more than enough firepower to win this race to 10.
Texas have one of the top field goal attempt rates in the nation, meaning they rarely turn the basketball over. The Longhorns also boast one of the top effective field goal percentages (24th overall) and shoot nearly 38% from three. They will have noticeable advantage over a Texas Tech defense that has allowed opponents to get hot from deep of late. I like the Longhorns to fire us to another NCAAB race to 10 victory.
Nevada vs Colorado State
Matchup: Nevada vs Colorado State 10:30pm ET
| Team | Odds | Record |
|---|---|---|
| Nevada | +115 | 22-6 |
| Colorado State | -160 | 19-8 |
Pick: Nevada +115
Our computer picks love the Wolfpack to cover the spread and win this game outright. So we'll begin with a race to 10 bet, and work on way to the moneyline.
Nevada is excellent at getting to the charity stripe, sitting fourth in the country in free throw attempts per 100 possessions. They also hold a large edge over Colorado State in three-point shooting, getting over 37% of their looks from deep to fall.
The Wolfpack are an great value play at +115 to knock down a few triples early and cash our final college basketball race to 10 bet of the evening.
