  • • How a team does when playing against a conference rival
  • • How a team performs as a No. 1 seed in the first round against a No. 16 seed

Any of the college basketball trends listed above are stats you can use to handicap your bets -- for example, let's look at (arguably) the fiercest rivalry in the NCAAB, North Carolina.

Maybe Duke pulls away with more wins than UNC overall, but a trend for this matchup might be that the Tar Heels covered the spread in each of their past 10 losses. If you were unsure of what to wager on, you'd have more confidence in UNC's spread after some quick research.

You can find trends for any game in the regular season all the way to the computer picks for your chosen matchup. Knowledge is half the battle, after all.
