SportsLine's model just revealed its college basketball picks for Purdue Boilermakers vs. USC Trojans on Friday

The Maryland Terrapins are ranked 18th in this week’s AP poll, which marks the teams first ranking in a year and its highest ranking since 2022. While they are the only ranked team in action today, Thursday’s college basketball slate is still loaded with plenty of opportunities to cash in on wagers.

Tonight’s schedule is highlighted by a surprising matchup at the top of the SEC, Oregon’s attempt to keep winning in a situation where its peers have had no success so far, and Arkansas’s attempt to build upon Saturday’s win at Rupp and a road winning streak in the process.

Three new teams climbed into the top five of the latest CBS Sports College Basketball power rankings, led by fast-rising St. John's and Texas Tech. The Red Storm and Red Raiders moved up nine and 10 spots to No.

Kentucky tumbled after the loss to John Calipari and Arkansas, while the top of the pecking order held firm in the latest edition of our SEC Basketball Power Rankings.

This past Saturday featured the craziest, most upside-down day of the men's college basketball season thus far. Eleven AP-ranked teams lost, according to ESPN Stats & Information research, with 10 of them losing to lower-ranked or unranked opponents.
