The college basketball season has reached February and for most die-hard fans that means that this is when conference rivalries really take center stage. Rivalries are a huge part of college athletics and none in basketball are bigger than a Duke/UNC game. We still have to wait a bit for that game, but there are nightly rivalries in college basketball and bettors can use that as an advantage at times.
Home dogs in rivalry spots can be extremely profitable in college basketball because they are still just 18-22 year-old kids out there playing ball. They haven’t honed their shooting to a pro’s level and mentally players make mistakes all the time. Anything can happen in college basketball and huge upsets occur on a weekly basis when conference play is all that is on tap.
