As always, Good Luck and Play Responsibly.

This is v13.0 of the 2025-26 edition of the Super 5.
The premise of the Super 5 is to release my 5 best positions across College Basketball’s biggest leagues and in select actions in the lower leagues.

LAS VEGAS — Here it is. A superb Saturday slate of College Basketball is readied and I’m back to deliver winners on my Top 5 positions — the Super 5 — for the day’s CBB betting board, including the world-famous Potency Play and Top Choice. Let’s get down to business. Here’s the deal for the Saturday Super 5:

v12.0 + YTD results.
You may be wondering where the Super 5 has been? Consider the absence my statement of disdain as to how nefarious people can stain this great sport. Now let’s move on.

TOP CHOICE:

— TEXAS (+1.5) at Missouri

📚: Consensus Line

KEY METRICS

  • TEX:14-9 ATS season to-date. 25th nationally in FG% (49.4).
  • MIZZOU: 324 nationally in 3PT%/A (36.1), 335th in FT% (67.3) & 233rd in TO’s (12.5)

MY TAKE

Taking the cleaner team with the basketball and the better FT-shooting team which covers numbers more than the other team, It’s a play on TEXAS +1.5 as the day’s Top Choice.

AUXILIARIES

2TM 6PT TSR. My standard. You can find them in more places than you think. These were placed at my point of numeric satisfaction, whether it be overnight or early morning lines.

🏀: 2TM 6PT SGT

CLEMSON +19.5

CLEM/DUKE ⬆️127

Pretty Straightforward: I’ll move Clemson up and the total down.

Again, the points just mean more in my hands. Although I acknowledge it has been an icy start to the term with these. I’ll do better. Know me late.

YTD: 3-4

🏀: GONZAGA (-4.5) at Santa Clara

I passed on this begrudgingly to focus on other positions. I chose the PUR/IOWA total over this. I don’t see it from the Broncos.

FUTURISTICS REVISITED

So far so good, still.

BEYOND THE RIM

Let’s focus on a random all-time level player from yesteryear in College Basketball.
He is arguably Arizona’s greatest ever player, FYI.
