SATURDAY SUPER 5 v1.0

As always, Good Luck and Play Responsibly.

This is the 2024-25 debut edition of the Super 5. My apologies for the late start this season entering the CBB market. I’ve been so consumed with launching Darkseid Sports and focusing on the CFB, NFL and EPL markets. I haven’t had the time and energy to devote myself to the standard my global readership requires until this moment.

The premise of the Super 5 is to release my 5 best positions — which I bet myself with my own money — across College Basketball’s biggest leagues. This competition is not one for action on smaller leagues.

Unsure how crucial NET is to the process, but I’ll try the under in what should be excellent joust Saturday. It’s too high.

TOP CHOICE:

— Providence at RHODE ISLAND (+2.5)
