College football is taking a bit of a break until the College Football Playoff semifinals begin next week, which means college basketball will garner plenty of attention this weekend with marquee conference showdowns on the slate.

Providence and UConn meet! Our College Basketball odds series has our Providence-UConn prediction, odds, and pick.

The Alabama Crimson Tide play at a blazing-fast pace (second in possession length) and don't give a damn about playing defense. They're 334th in the country in opponent turnover rate and 272nd in scoring defense (77.2 ppg), and they won't do anything to change that approach since most teams can't keep up with their high-powered offense.
