There are 42 games on Thursday’s college basketball schedule, with 10 top-25 teams in action.
Games get started early, with Duquesne vs. Richmond tipping off the slate promptly at 11 a.m. ET.
With so many games, including early ones, there are plenty of opportunities to find value, even though casual bettors will likely bypass the majority of the slate in favor of tonight’s higher-profile matchups.
Still, that hasn’t stopped savvy bettors from handicapping the full schedule, and according to our College Basketball PRO Report, sharps have settled on Monmouth vs. Rider as a smart Thursday bet.
