NCAA Basketball Parlay Picks for Week 14
Marquette Golden Eagles vs UConn Huskies
Our first matchup is a big-time game in the Big East Conference. This is a Top-25 matchup with Marquette and UConn, both looking to move further up the conference standings. Marquette comes in with a record of 16-7 and UConn has a record of 15-6.
Marquette is currently ranked #18 in the AP Poll this week, but are not favored in this game according to the ESPN Power Index. The Golden Eagles have won four out of their last five games, including two wins over Villanova. Justin Lewis is leading Marquette in points per game currently with 16.6 points.
UConn averages 78 points per game on the season and they find themselves just inside the Top-25 this week at #24. The Huskies are currently riding a two-game losing streak, suffering losses to Creighton and Villanova. R.J. Cole, who leads the Huskies in points per game, is looking to help end this losing streak.
UConn is the 5.5 point favorite in what is expected to be a very close game. This is a game that UConn is favored to win at home and they will win this game.
Wisconsin Badgers vs Michigan State Spartans
A high-quality Big Ten matchup is on the schedule, one of many good Big Ten games this week. The Wisconsin Badgers are looking to return a favor to Michigan State after losing the previous matchup against the Spartans. Wisconsin is currently one spot ahead of Michigan State in the standings.
Wisconsin has lost two of their last five games and survived a scare against Penn State. Led by Johnny Davis, the Badgers are ranked at #14 this week in the AP Poll. Davis is averaging 20.6 points per game and is in the conversation for Player of the Year. The Badgers are looking to collect a big road win.
Michigan State suffered a bad loss against Rutgers in their last outing. The Spartans have also lost two out of their last five games. They will be looking to protect home court advantage against Wisconsin, who they have beat recently on the road.
Michigan State is the 4.5 point favorite against Wisconsin. This is going to be a bounce-back game for the Spartans after a very disappointing performance against Rutgers. They will sweep the season series against the Badgers.
Illinois Fighting Illini vs Purdue Boilermakers
Our third matchup is another quality Big Ten matchup with the first-place Illinois Fighting Illini and one of the best teams in the country in Purdue. Illinois has claimed first place, but Purdue is looking to assert their dominance and sweep Illinois this season. The Boilermakers are likely to be the #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament this season.
Illinois is starting to play some of their best basketball at the right time. Illinois blew the doors off of Indiana in the second half this last weekend, to get a dominant 17-point win. A win over Purdue would boost the Illini and their resume for the NCAA Tournament. Kofi Cockburn will have to be a big part in this win for the Illini.
Purdue has so many weapons at times it is not even fair. They have the two big men of Zach Edey and Trevion Williams to match with the guards of Jaden Ivey and Sasha Stefanovic. Purdue will be a tough team to beat if they can learn how to shut the door on a few teams.
Purdue is the 6.5 favorite at home to win this game. This is a game that Illinois has had on the schedule since they lost in double overtime at home. Illinois will be fully prepared for this game and this is a game that Illinois can win against Purdue. Look for Illinois to win this game.
