This is it — the last college basketball game of the year. And with how both teams played Saturday, we’re in for an incredibly thrilling game tonight. Such an event mandates taking great care with how you bet, which is why we’ve created a “best bets” list for the game.

As always, I recommend line shopping to make sure you get the best odds for your desired market. For the purposes of this post, the odds are available via FanDuel unless otherwise stated.

Houston (-102) vs. Florida (-1.5), o/u 140.5

Over 140.5 Points at -114

This game is going to be all about each team doing what it does best. For Houston, that means playing hard-nosed defense. As for Florida, picking up the pace and scoring a lot of points. Of course, with two such contrasting styles, something is going to have to give.

I don’t know which it will be. But I do know that both teams count on the 3 and will likely do so in this game, even though both play solid perimeter defense. Good as it may be, both teams will hit their share of 3-pointers.

Now, the under is 5-1-1 in Houston’s last seven games. But the push came against a Duke team that makes around 38% of its 3-pointers, and the over hit against a Gonzaga team that shoots roughly 35% from 3-point range — just like Florida.
