College basketball is typically less important to casual bettors on normal college football Saturdays.
However, with conference championship weekend here and fewer football games on the board, bettors may be more inclined to sift through college basketball odds for value.
In fact, with No. 5 Georgia vs. No. 2 Texas (4 p.m. ET) and No. 3 Penn State vs. No. 1 Oregon (8 p.m. ET) not getting underway until later in the day, there may be even more interest from bettors looking for early college basketball action.
Today’s college hoops slate gets an early 11:30 a.m. ET (FOX) start and the wiseguys are not missing their chance to pounce on the latest Kansas State vs. St. John’s odds.
Let’s take a look.

So what does this mean?
Well, based on Action PRO’s premium tools, it appears that we have a classic sharps vs. squares matchup.
While the public is happily grabbing the points with the Wildcats, it’s the Red Storm attracting professional betting action.
