It's a strong CBB pick'em slate Tuesday as the 2025-26 NCAA Men's College Basketball season continues. Duke and Louisville meet in a top-20 ACC battle in the early window, while Texas Tech and Houston square off in a ranked matchup in the Big 12 in the late window. We have a handful of other intriguing conference matchups, too, with ten total ranked teams in action.
We're here to help provide a trio of picks on select days throughout the week, hopefully helping you get into the black, as we head into the holidays and the New Year. It's never too early to start squirreling away money for March Madness.
College Basketball PrizePicks Picks & Strategy
If you're unfamiliar with how to play, you must simply choose at least two players from any sport and pick more or less based on their projected statistics to win. We'll obviously be exclusively selecting college hoops players, but you can mix and match from various other sports. You can also go with a flex play, meaning you still can have a winning night even if you have one losing selection. Or, you can go big and choose the power play, which pays out higher. However, you must hit all ends to win. Let's get started.

Oziyah Sellers, G, St. John's 
Over the last couple of years while writing this column, I rarely like to go 'less'. I'd rather cheer for a player to succeed, rather than cheer for failure and disappointment. However, sometimes it's inevitable that a player will not hit his projections.
Sellers fired out of the box early in the season, averaging 14.2 points per game (PPG) in a five-game span from Nov. 8-25, but he has scored in single digits in six of the past eight outings, averaging 9.0 PPG in the span since a matchup against Auburn in the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas back on Nov. 26.
Sellers is set up for a breakout, as Butler is giving up 80.3 PPG, ranking 260th in the country. The Bulldogs are allowing teams to hit 43.7 percent from the field, and 31.9 percent from behind the three-point line. However, Sellers has faced favorable matchups recently, and he just hasn't been able to get the job done. Until he turns things around, go low on Sellers.

Parsa Fallah, F, Oklahoma State 
Fallah was one of my favorite players last season at Oregon State, averaging 12.8 PPG, 4.0 RPG and 1.0 APG in 30 starts and 31 games. Oklahoma State is his third stop, and the Iranian-born senior big man is having a career year.
In 12 starts with the Cowboys, he is hitting 62.6 percent from the field, which is a career best, as is his 13.6 PPG, about a half-point better than his sophomore season at Southern Utah in 2023-24. He is averaging 6.1 rebounds per game (RPG) and 1.3 steals per game (SPG) this season, too.
Fallah is facing a very favorable matchup against UCF, and the Knights rank 279th in the country with 81.2 PPG allowed, while surrendering 42.4 percent from the field (125th) and 33.2 percent from behind the three-point line (162nd).

Mason Falslev, G, Utah State 
The 6-foot-4 junior from Benson, Utah has been on fire this season, averaging 15.7 PPG, 5.6 RPG and 2.5 APG, while hitting 52.1 percent from the field through 13 games. He is good for 10 or more points in 11 of the past 12 games.
While those numbers are impressive, he has kicked it up a notch, going for at least 16 points in each of his past seven games, and he has four or more boards in each of the past seven outings, too.
Falslev should keep the good times rolling, as Air Force is terrible on defense, allowing 78.8 PPG (228th), a 45.5 defensive field-goal percentage (289th) and 33.3 defensive three-point percentage (205th).
