After the Cougars dominated Kansas State last night, my BYU vs. West Virginia predictions are backing them in a revenge spot.

Here are my best free college basketball picks for this conference tournament clash on Wednesday, March 11.

BYU vs West Virginia best bet: BYU -4.5 (-110)

The West Virginia Mountaineers are solid but don’t have nearly the same high-end talent as the BYU Cougars, who are led by A.J. Dybantsa and Rob Wright III.

Although BYU has its share of defensive struggles, the Mountaineers ranked dead last in conference play in adjusted offense, so they won’t be able to fully take advantage.

West Virginia beat BYU 79-71 in Morgantown last month, largely thanks to 18 offensive rebounds. With the Mountaineers averaging just 9.1 offensive boards per game and BYU sitting fourth in the conference in defensive rebounding rate, expect a different outcome this time around.

The Mountaineers clog the paint and force opponents to shoot from the perimeter. However, they rank 10th in the conference in 3-point defense (35.8%), and Dybantsa has made more than 1.5 threes in five of his last seven games.

Since Richie Saunders’ season-ending injury, Kennard Davis has seen his usage rate surge. He’s recorded 2+ assists in five of the last eight games, making his prop a bargain at +115.

BYU needs to do a better job of preventing second chances on the glass than it did in the previous clash.

That will come down to Keba Keita, the team’s best interior defender, who leads with 7.1 rebounds per game.
