It’s another loaded Saturday slate in college basketball as programs big and small are taking the court for another jam-packed day of hoops. 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 6/1 odds!
Let’s take a look at my 3-team mega parlay for Saturday, but make sure you also check out our college basketball picks for the day’s biggest games.
Gonzaga -4 (-110)
Baylor -2.5 (-110)
Mississippi State ML (-105)
Parlay odds: +611

Gonzaga Bulldogs -4 (-110) over St. Mary’s Gaels
To start off this mega parlay I’m going with Gonzaga to exact a bit of revenge on St. Mary’s. Any way you slice it, the Gaels stole the first game in this series back on February 4. After all, they shot 25 percent from beyond the 3-point arc and hardly led in regulation before ultimately prevailing in overtime. The Gaels got a friendly home whistle, as Gonzaga battled foul trouble all night and struggled to execute down the stretch as a result. Despite all of that, it still took some late game heroics from Aidan Mahaney to push St. Mary’s over the top and secure a massive home victory.
Things should go differently at the Kennel, where Gonzaga has owned this rivalry historically. Furthermore, the Bulldogs have been on a torrid stretch offensively since a loss in Morgana — averaging nearly 96 points per game over their last 4 contests. Given that I think the Zags have the best unit on the floor and they’ll be itching to exact revenge and even the race for the WCC title, I have no issue laying the points here.

Baylor Bears -2.5 (-110) over Texas Longhorns
I backed Baylor against Kansas State earlier this week and things looked good in the first half before the Bears played their second straight awful 2nd half in a loss. However, that does provide us with a perfect opportunity to back head coach Scott Drew’s team at home. The Bears fell to Texas on the road in the first matchup, but that game ultimately went perfectly for the Longhorns, as Baylor shot just 36 percent from the field and 30 percent from beyond the arc. Texas does have a solid defense — ranked 30th in defensive efficiency per KenPom — but this Baylor backcourt should be much more efficient on Saturday. Add in the fact that the Bears are at home, where they haven’t lost since January 7, and this sets up perfectly for this veteran team to put forth its best effort in a desperate spot.
Mississippi State Bulldogs ML (-105) over Texas A&M Aggies
To close out this mega parlay I’m going with Mississippi State on the money line. The Bulldogs came up just short against Missouri earlier this week, but they are returning home — where they have been very successful this season. On the other side, Texas A&M is red-hot thanks to its defense, but this offense is still too reliant on getting to the free-throw line. The Aggies were bailed out once again in a win over Tennessee on Tuesday. They have won 6 straight, but 4 of those victories came at home against putrid offenses. This Bulldogs team won’t push the pace on offense, but it will shorten the game in order to rely on a top-5 defense per KenPom — which could prove troublesome for head coach Buzz Williams’ team. Once again, I’ll ride with a home team in a great situational spot.
