How the college basketball season works
More than 360 Division I men's teams play from early November to March: non-conference games and early-season tournaments first, then conference play from late December. Conference tournaments in March decide the automatic bids, and the 68-team NCAA Tournament (March Madness) ends with the Final Four in early April.
What decides college basketball games
Games are two 20-minute halves with a 30-second shot clock, so totals are lower than in the pros, usually in the 130s and 140s. Home court is bigger than in any professional league: young teams, student crowds and long road trips swing results. The talent gap between the top programmes and small conferences is huge, so spreads of twenty points or more are common.
Reading our college basketball picks
Every game has a win probability, a projected score, a spread and a total. With hundreds of games each week, the market's consensus carries a lot of information, and our computer picks blend our ratings with it once lines are out. For picks against the spread, compare our projected margin with the line; for totals, compare the projected total.
