This article is part of our College Basketball Picks series.
The 2025-26 NCAA Men's College Basketball season has its first full Saturday of February. We're winding down the regular season, with just a few more weeks until conference tournament action gets underway.
Last Saturday, we just missed two of our three picks, missing by a half-point, and two points, and the two-point loss was due to the Indiana-UCLA game going into double-overtime. Let's get back on track.
College Basketball PrizePicks Picks & Strategy
If you're unfamiliar with how to play, you must simply choose at least two players from any sport and pick more or less based on their projected statistics to win. We'll obviously be exclusively selecting college hoops players, but you can mix and match from various other sports. You can also go with a flex play, meaning you still can have a winning night even if you have one losing selection. Or, you can go big and choose the power play, which pays out higher. However, you must hit all ends to win. Let's get started.

Anthony Roy, G, Oklahoma State 
The Oklahoma State Cowboys invade the McKale Memorial Center in Tucson, Arizona to battle the top-ranked Wildcats on ESPN at 4 p.m. ET.
Roy is brimming with confidence, dropping 26 on Utah last Saturday, including five three-pointers, while posting 30 points in a stunning upset of No. 16 BYU on Wednesday night in Stillwater. Roy was once again able to product five three-pointers, and he has posted three or more treys in eight of the past nine outings.
While this game is expected to be a mismatch in Tucson, Roy gives the Cowboys a shot to hang around. His three-point shooting is key, and if the Arizona defense has an Achilles heel, it's defending the perimeter, ranking just 93rd in the nation with a 31.9 percent defensive three-pointer percentage. Let's strike while the iron is hot with Roy, hoping he gets to three triples.
CBB PrizePicks Selection: Anthony Roy, More 2.5 Three-Pointers
Massamba Diop, C, Arizona State 
Diop is a blocked shot machine, and he'll look to keep up the good work protecting the glass when Arizona State travels to the CU Events Center at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN2 to face Colorado.
Diop heads into this game with 14.0 PPG, 6.0 RPG and 3.0 BPG in the past two games, and he is working on a streak of five consecutive outings with two or more blocked shots. That is fully expected to continue, as Colorado is an awful team, both offensively and defensively.
In fact, in the first meeting this season, a 95-89 win by the Buffaloes, Diop did his part with 20 points, three rebounds, two assists and a whopping seven blocked shots. The projection is low, and a 'goblin' play. According to PrizePicks, they're easier to win, but come with lower payout multipliers. Still, it's a strong play, as Diop should easily notch at least two rejections, and it's nice to have some certainties when you're selecting just three picks.
If you are a little less cautious, or don't like the goblin plays, Diop More Than 23.5 Pts+Rebs+Asts is also a strong play.
CBB PrizePicks Selection: Massamba Diop, More 1.5 Blocked Shots

Zoom Diallo, G, Washington 
The Washington Huskies travel to meet the UCLA Bruins at Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles at 10 p.m. ET on FS1 in a Pac-12 reunion game, now a Big Ten battle. It's still hard to get used to.
Washington has had a lot of trouble scoring, particularly from distance, as the Huskies hit just 32.2 percent from behind the three-point line. On the flip side, UCLA is a lockdown defense, allowing just 69.7 PPG (52nd), while limiting teams to just 42.1 percent (81st) from the field, and 29.8 percent (26th) in defensive three-pointer percentage. That presents a huge challenge, not only for Diallo, but the rest of his teammates.
Diallo is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.3 APG and 3.6 RPG this season, and he has scored 12 or more points in 13 straight games. He struggled a bit with his shot last time out against Iowa, but he still went for 16 points, while posting 12 assists with six rebounds. He has six or more boards in three in a row, while hitting double digits in assists in two of the past three. That's 16.7 PPG, 9.3 APG and 6.3 RPG in the past three games, and just hitting those numbers would smash this projection. However, UCLA's defense is going to keep him and his teammates down. This will be close, but go low.
