Conference championship week in college basketball is here, as programs big and small are taking the court for a chance to reach the NCAA tournament. With so many exciting games, I have combed through the board and found a few edges that I believe can create a parlay with an excellent payout of over 7/1 odds!
Let’s take a look at my 3-team mega parlay for Monday, but make sure you also check out our college basketball picks for the day’s biggest games.
Gonzaga -12.5 (-110)

Milwaukee ML (+126)

Gonzaga Bulldogs -12.5 (-110) over San Francisco Dons
To start off this mega parlay I’m going with Gonzaga to knock off San Francisco. Any way you slice it, the Dons were very fortunate to knock off Santa Clara. After all, it took a fantastic shooting performance from beyond the arc and some crucial mistakes from their opponent to even reach double overtime, where the Dons eventually pulled away. Now, after playing 50 minutes of intense basketball on Saturday, San Francisco has to turn around and play a Gonzaga team that dominated the most recent meeting in this series.
Gonzaga has owned this rivalry historically and it won’t help San Francisco that the Zags are playing their best basketball of the season in recent weeks. Furthermore, the Bulldogs have been on a torrid stretch offensively since a loss at Saint Mary’s — averaging over 94 points per game over their last 6 contests. Given that the Zags are clearly the much fresher team and they’ll be itching to move one step closer to the WCC title, I have no issue laying the points here.

BYU Cougars +7 (-110) vs Saint Mary’s Gaels
For our second leg, we’re going with BYU against the spread. This team traditionally plays well against Saint Mary’s, and that didn’t change this season. In the first meeting, the Cougars lost on a last-second bucket at home in what was a nip-and-tuck battle throughout. Nearly a month later, BYU actually led at multiple points in the second half in Morgana, before ultimately falling 71-65.
However, the Cougars easily covered the spread in that contest, and I’m expecting a similar result on Monday. Three possessions is a bit too much for a BYU team that is quietly 40th in the nation in adjusted defensive efficiency, and can compete with Saint Mary’s in the post and on the perimeter. With the game expected to be played at a deliberate pace, I’ll happily take the points with the underdog.
Milwaukee Panthers ML (+126) over Cleveland State Vikings
To close out this mega parlay I’m going with Milwaukee on the money line. This one is more of a dart throw, but it makes sense given the Panthers’ recent performance. For one, Milwaukee has won 3 consecutive games and clearly enters this game with momentum after dispatching Wright State in the Horizon League tournament quarterfinals on Friday. Furthermore, one of those recent victories came against this same Cleveland State team that appears to be overvalued by the betting market.
The Vikings have impressive wins over Youngstown State and Northern Kentucky this season, but both victories came at home. Already a struggling team away from home this season, Cleveland State has dropped both games against Milwaukee during this campaign, so let’s roll with the Panthers at plus-money odds.
