The 2025-26 NCAA Men's College Basketball regular season has another strong slate Saturday. There are a lot of strong games in the late window, so that's where we'll focus.
We're here to help provide a trio of picks on select days throughout the week, hopefully helping you get into the black, as we head into the holidays and the new year. It's never too early to start squirreling away money for March Madness.
College Basketball PrizePicks Picks & Strategy
If you're unfamiliar with how to play, you must simply choose at least two players from any sport and pick more or less based on their projected statistics to win. We'll obviously be exclusively selecting college hoops players, but you can mix and match from various other sports. You can also go with a flex play, meaning you still can have a winning night even if you have one losing selection. Or, you can go big and choose the power play, which pays out higher. However, you must hit all ends to win. Let's get started.

Oziyah Sellers, G, St. John's 
We have a good one at 8 p.m. ET on Peacock, as St. John's hosts Ole Miss of the SEC at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Sellers is coming off a stinker, hitting just 1-of-7 from the field, with that only make coming from distance, while picking up five personal fouls with two turnovers against another SEC team, Auburn, last time out. He just couldn't get into a rhythm with the foul trouble, and he ended up with just four points, three assists and a single rebound.
All of that said, that's unfortunate for anybody who picked him last time out, but he should bounce back nicely against the Rebels. Prior to the Auburn debacle, Sellers was 6-of-11 from the field both against Iowa State and Baylor, and he averaged 21.0 PPG, while hitting five triples in each of those games. If he can get back to those lofty heights, he'll pay well. He has a "demon" next to his name, meaning on PrizePicks, the pick is a little harder to win, but including it qualifies for higher payouts. This might be the best one on the board Saturday night.
CBB PrizePicks Selection: Oziyah Sellers, More 3.5 3-Pointers
Tahaad Pettiford, G, Auburn 
Like Sellers (above), we're banking on Pettiford to rebound nicely in a marquee game after having an absolute disaster last time out.
Pettiford and the Tigers travel to meet Arizona at the McKale Center at 10 p.m. ET on ESPN, and it should be a high-scoring affair with plenty of scoring. That's right up the alley of Pettiford, as he is looking to get back on track after a 1-of-7 shooting night against NC State in the ACC/SEC Men's Challenge last time out on Wednesday. He ended up with just six points, misfiring on all three of his attempts from distance, although he did pick up the slack with four blocks, three rebounds and an assist.
Prior to that, Pettiford had been red-hot, averaging 22.3 PPG, including 27 points against Sellers and the Johnnies in the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas. Look for Pettiford to show out, as he rarely has back-to-back poor showings.
CBB PrizePicks Selection: Tahaad Pettiford, More 15.5 Points

Santiago Trouet, F, Arizona State 
Sticking with the late-game window, the Sun Devils host the Oklahoma Sooners at Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix at 10 p.m. ET on CBSSN.
Unlike the others above, Trouet is actually coming off a strong game last time out, going for 13 points and five boards in the Maui Invitational Championship game against USC on Nov. 26, although Sparky came up just short.
The point total for Trouet against USC tied a season best, as he also went for 13 points against Utah Tech back on Nov. 9. He had 10 or more boards against Utah Tech and Gonzaga in back-to-back games, but he is averaging just 5.8 rebounds per game in the past five outings, while going for six or fewer points in four of the previous five outings.
Trouet's numbers are propped up a bit by his strong showing against USC, but go low on his totals, as Oklahoma allows just 73.8 PPG, and it does a decent job on the boards, especially defensively.
