@KeepTheJuice21 College Basketball Picks - 2/1

After a tricky NBA slate on Monday night, Chuck switches back to college basketball where he's on a streak of six straight cashes.

The Big 12 has given us some of the best matchups this college basketball season and tonight there’s another barn burner. Kansas coming off a tough loss to Kentucky should be playing with some added intensity. They’re on what should be the toughest stretch of their schedule this season; after leaving Aimes they’ll face Baylor at home then travel to Texas. This game could be a big turning point, they could either rebound and recover from a tough matchup or start a slide.

I trust Bill Self will get this experienced group of players to the better side of that scenario and this will be a big win for Kansas.

Providence is finally getting some of the respect they deserve. Their two losses are to Virginia and Marquette, two excellent programs and they’re the sole leader of the Big East. There’s no doubt St John's has been very good at home but they play mostly weaker teams than Providence. With Villanova knocking on the door, every conference game matters and if Providence wants to hold on to the 1 seed, they will have to get it done on the road. And we know they can, having impressive wins like Wisconsin, UConn, and Xavier away from home.

They should handle St John's like they have the rest of them.
