Picks for 1/8/25
College Basketball
7:00 PM EST
Rotation # 720
UCF -6 over Colorado (loss)
Colorado lost all of their blue chip players from a year ago. The Buffaloes were lucky to have a lighting-in-a-bottle team you only see every other decade. You can’t replace the now NBA talent of KJ Simpson, Tristan Da Silva, and Cody Williams. Colorado is playing with deep bench players from a year ago and didn’t do great in the transfer portal. Colorado hasn’t played on the road much this year, and it won’t be any easier tonight in Orlando. UCF Head Coach Johnny Dawkins did well in the transfer portal, and playing at home is a massive plus in this matchup. Colorado might take a while to adjust to BIG 12-style basketball coming from the PAC 12. The Knights’ guard play will lead them to victory. Take UCF.
