Basketball is often referred to as a game of runs, but that isn’t just true of single-game segments. 

When it comes to betting on college basketball, many handicappers prefer to follow something of a hot hand theory. They might look for teams with long winning streaks as worthy betting targets or avoid teams that can’t get out of the losing column.

This is especially true for March Madness odds, when bettors and bracketologists are easily scared off teams that enter the field of 68 with a bad losing streak.

For your convenience, these are the teams with the longest active winning streaks in Div. I men’s college basketball. That includes Miami (OH) – the last undefeated team in college basketball this year.
