We're almost a week from March, meaning it's time to lock in on college basketball.
So, I've got a breakdown of some key college basketball betting trends for your game picks and player props today. I've compiled a bunch of player and team trends with help from Outlier, as well as a few NCAA picks below for February 20th:

Taking the above trends alongside some more in-depth handicapping, here are a few picks I'm focused on for today's men's college basketball games:
Oregon State's Damarco Minor UNDER 1.5 3PM (-240 at Sportsbook)
Damarco Minor isn't hitting the 3s, reaching OVER 1.5 3PM in just 12 of his last 14 games.
Minor is a decent three-point shooter in general, nailing the deep shots at 29.9%. But, in the last few games he's become a low option for that shot for Oregon State. In the last three games, five other Beavers have equal or more three-point attempts than Minor's nine.
So, with Minor not going above this OVER often and dropping down the shooting depth chart, I'll take this -240 line.
Towson Moneyline (-120 at Sportsbook) vs Elon
Towson is on an absolute heater, winning 12-straight games (11 of those as favorites). Most of these games haven't even been close, as 10 of the 12 wins have come by five or more points. The Tigers are 7-4-1 against the spread in this stretch, too.
Elon, on the other hand, is 3-6 in their last nine. They've failed to cover the spread in six of their last nine, as well.
This is all about riding the hot hand for me, and with near even odds I'm taking Towson.
