CBB Sharp Report: 3 Games Drawing Smart Money Saturday Night

Saturday's college basketball slate brings with it seemingly endless betting opportunities. Over 50 games are listed with lines — more if you count added games — including 15 featuring ranked teams. But it's not necessarily the intrigue of a matchup that draws sharps' attention.

With start times ranging from 6 to 10 p.m. ET, the three games seeing the most sharp action tonight are among the more obscure matchups on the slate. Let's take a look.

Illinois Chicago at Colorado

6 p.m. ET

Sharp angle: Illinois Chicago (moved from +12 to +10.5)

For the second time in less than a week, Illinois Chicago has found itself on the Sharp Report.

In tonight's matchup with Colorado, UIC has drawn only 29% of bets, which is easy to understand when you see that Colorado has just one loss to the Flames' five.

This line, however, has fallen from +12 to +10.5.

The small minority behind Illinois Chicago has accounted for a whopping 86% of dollars wagered, which not only puts liability on the underdog but indicates that bigger bets — the ones more likely to be made by sharps — are also taking the points.

UIC has also triggered three Sports Insights Bet Signals — signs of market-wide line movement that come from sharp action.

Southern Illinois at Southeast Missouri State

7:30 p.m. ET

Sharp angle: Over (moved from 135 to 137)

Now for the game we've all been looking forward to today.

The total for tonight's Southern Illinois-Southeast Missouri State opened at 135, and a slight majority of bettors felt that wasn't quite high enough.

Fifty-seven percent of bets have landed on the over, and it looks like sharps are actually in agreement with the public.

Those 57% of bets have generated 86% of dollars wagered on the total, and the over has drawn three Sports Insights Bet Signals.

That sharp action has moved this line up two points from its opening number.

Sacramento State at Portland

10 p.m. ET

Sharp angle: Sacramento State (moved from +2 to pk)

Oddsmakers opened the betting on this game with a two-point edge in favor of Portland. That's been the side attracting the majority of bettors (52%), but sharp action on Sacramento State has caused books to eliminate the two-point spread.

While the Hornets have picked up just under half of the bets on this game, they've accounted for almost all of the money wagered so far.

Ninety-two percent of dollars are behind Sacramento State, meaning it's drawing the bigger, and probably sharper, bettors.

And like the other plays on tonight's report, three SI Bet Signals have also hit Sacramento State to help cause the line move.
