College Basketball Picks For February 21st (Ep. 1148)

The College Experience (@TCEonSGPN) on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network break down every game on the College Basketball board for Saturday, February 21st. Colby Dant, (@TheColbyD) Ryan McIntyre (@Moneyline_Mac), and Noah Bieniek (@NoahB77_) react to the previous day's basketball games and provide picks and banter for the upcoming slate.

They recap Friday’s results and lock battles. They discuss wins and losses including Ball State covering, Marist beating Manhattan, Green Bay’s outright win at Oakland, Fairfield covering, Iona beating Saint Peter’s in overtime, Detroit beating Milwaukee, Niagara covering versus Mount St. Mary’s, St. Louis beating VCU while VCU failed to cover, Brown beating Princeton, Merrimack winning in overtime versus Siena, Purdue blowing out Indiana, and Miami (OH) improving to 27–0.

The show includes a long discussion criticizing rankings/metrics and arguing Miami (OH) and the MAC are being disrespected compared to power conferences. They announce plans for the SGPN Vegas trip around March 18–21 with expected stops like Circa, Westgate and possibly Circa Sports, and take questions from the live chat. The bulk of the episode is a rapid-fire breakdown of Saturday’s 146 game massive slate
