The 2023-24 college basketball season continues on Saturday with a loaded slate that features several intriguing conference battles.

Oklahoma has not picked up a win in Lawrence since 1993, but this will be just the third time these teams have both been inside the top 10 for a game at Allen Fieldhouse during that stretch.

Another exciting Big 12 matchup on Saturday features No. 2 Houston at TCU, as the Cougars try to bounce back from their first loss of the season.

After simulating every game 10,000 times, the model is high on the Alabama Crimson Tide (+1.5) to win by multiple possessions on the road against the Mississippi State Bulldogs at 8:30 p.m. ET. Alabama is riding a four-game winning streak, picking up wins over Vanderbilt and South Carolina in its first two SEC games. The Crimson Tide were only 12-point favorites in their 74-47 win over the Gamecocks on Tuesday, but they outscored South Carolina by 26 points in the second half. 

Senior guard Mark Sears, who leads Alabama with 20.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, poured in 31 points in the win. Mississippi State is in a letdown spot after pulling off an upset against No. 5 Tennessee on Wednesday, as it was the program's first win over a top-five team since 2002. Alabama has won seven of the last eight meetings between these teams, and SportsLine's model has the Crimson Tide covering the spread in more than 70% of the latest simulations. See which other college basketball parlay picks to make here.
