College Basketball Best Bets for Friday, November 11

Michigan State Spartans vs. Gonzaga Bulldogs - 6:30PM ET

This game is being played outdoors on an aircraft carrier. I repeat - THIS GAME IS BEING PLAYED OUTDOORS ON AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER. While both teams like to get up and down, this is simply a tough place to score the basketball.

The previous two times this event was held, the totals of the games ended up being 122 points and 111 points. Gonzaga wants to shoot threes - with Julian Strawther and Rasir Bolton both hunting attempts from beyond the arc, and Michigan State had two different players attempt 7+ threes in Game 1.

It could be a tough night for shooters, we'll take the Under.

Villanova Wildcats vs. Temple Owls - 7:00PM ET

This line shocks me at just 5.5 points, as Villanova looked fantastic in Game 1 without two of their best players due to injury, and Temple lost in overtime to a bad Wagner team.

The question for Nova has been what do their guards look like, and Caleb Daniels passed the test with flying colors earlier this week. He notched 24 points, nine rebounds and four assists in their win against La Salle, and we expect his positive play to carry into tonight's game, leading Nova to an easy victory.

Iowa Hawkeyes vs. North Carolina A&T Aggies - 8:00PM ET

One of my absolute favorite ways to bet college basketball in early season play is to back Iowa to blow out cupcake opponents. We cashed on Iowa to cover a large spread in their first game, and we're going back to the well tonight.

The Hawkeyes had five players score in double figures on Monday, and we love their offense, led by Kris Murray and Tony Perkins. The Hawkeyes are versatile and skilled, and play such an up-tempo free-flowing offensive style that it overwhelms opponents that just can't keep up. We like them to roll in this one.

BET: Iowa -24.5 (-115) at DraftKings Sportsbook
