We are well into the conference play segment of the NCAA basketball season, but we will still get to see a few non-conference match-ups in the final few weeks of the season. We have a good one on Saturday, January 30, as the West Virginia Mountaineers head to the Stephen C. O’Connell Center in Gainesville to face the Florida Gators. Don’t forget to check our updated lines for College Basketball.
The Gators (13-7, 5-3) will be glad to get back on home court after a heartbreaking loss versus suddenly hot Vanderbilt. Florida has been very good in front of their own fans this season, and are on a streak that has seen them win 5 of their last 6 games on home court. Their last 2 games against ranked opponents saw the Gators lose both times, but they were very much in the hunt in both of those games, and were unlucky not to know off Texas A&M. Florida are very good on defense, and are going to have to be on top of their game at that end of the court if they want to hold off a hard charging Mountaineers offense. Not entirely sure that an upset is on the cards here, but the Gators do have what it takes to keep things close. Florida are averaging 73.8 PPG, and are giving up 64.7 PPG.

You would certainly expect a ranked Mountaineers team to be a favorite in pretty much every game that they play right now, but this has all the makings of a potential trip up game. The Gators are by no means a pushover, and this one might be a good deal closer than a lot of bettors expect. Xbet.ag will have the odds for this one up at the NCAA basketball betting page as soon as they go live.Why Bet on the West Virginia Mountaineers
The Mountaineers (17-3, 6-2) are full value for their current #9 ranking, and they appear to have recovered nicely from losing back to back games. They are once again back to winning ways with 2 straight wins under their belts, and seem to have recovered some of their swagger. West Virginia have only lost a single game on the road this season, with that one coming at the hands of Oklahoma, who were ranked #2 when that game was played. This is a team that is very talented offensively, and who can potentially cause a lot of problems for a Gators team that is pretty gifted on the defensive end of the court. West Virginia are averaging 81.6 PPG, and are giving up 63.5 PPG so far this season.Why Bet on the Florida Gators
