This article is part of our College Basketball Picks series.
I'm not mad about a 1-2 day yesterday. As I've said many times, these weeks in December are all about survival and finding the hidden gems in the unique daily schedules. We are still a profitable 25-17 on the year as we look for one more winning day before hitting the Christmas break. I wish you all a very happy and healthy holiday season. I will talk to you all again on Sunday!

Abilene Christian Wildcats at Texas Southern Tigers 
Abilene might be just 2-5 in games away from home, but KenPom No. 328 Texas Southern represents the worst of their non-conference foes by a wide margin. In their two wins over No. 289 UTSA and No. 252 Pepperdine, they won by 11 and 8, respectively. Southern has yet to record a D1 victory and I don't see them getting their first tonight.
College Basketball Best Bet: Abilene Christian -3 (Ceasars)

Utah Tech Trailblazers at Creighton Blue Jays 
Creighton appears to have found their stride with a 41-point win at Xavier and a 21-point win over Marquette to open Big East action last week. With another conference game against Butler on the horizon, one could forgive the Jays for looking past Utah Tech tonight. Excluding their 26-point loss at Arizona (which, in reality, isn't a bad loss), Tech has faced two other Top 100 teams and came away with respectable 15 and 10-point losses. Creighton wins this one, no doubt, and if they get hot, it could get ugly. However, I think the Blazers are competitive one again and keep the margin in the teens.
College Basketball Best Bet: Utah Tech +19.5 (universal)

Northern Iowa Panthers at Saint Mary's Gaels .png)
This game features two Top 25 defenses in what should be a close and low-scoring affair. UNI is 0-2 against Top 100 competition, but their losses were by three and five points, respectively. Saint Mary's is 2-2 against Top 100 competition with wins of 5 and 11. With none of the previous results ending outside of this line, I love the value on the Panthers tonight.
