Saturday's college basketball slate includes 144 lined games with a handful of top-25 matchups as well.
However, while most of the high-profile games don't tip until later this afternoon and tonight, there is still plenty of action right off the bat on Saturday afternoon.
Using our college basketball predictions, we examine the smartest college basketball picks for Saturday's early games, including Florida vs. Georgia and Butler vs. Marquette.
