Marquette Golden Eagles over Syracuse Orange: Marq has won 23 straight at home going back to last year. They have played a more difficult schedule that Syr and both teams find themselves tied with a 10-4 conference record.
Detroit Titans over Wichita St. Shockers: Det is an experienced team so going on the road in a hostile environment should not be an issue. This is a much more important game for Det than W.St .
Illinois St. Redbirds over Wichita St. Shockers: The market is not catching up on how well Ill St is playing especially at home. Ill St. started the year 0-6 in conference play but since then has gone 7-1.
Colorado Buffaloes over Arizona Wildcats: Anytime you bet on a ranked team over unranked team especially on the road you will be paying a premium. That is the case tonight. This is a very big game for Col who is a bubble team.
Massachusetts Minutemen over St. Joseph’s Hawks: Note the time change from 2pm to 7pm. With the east coast storm it has been a challenge for St Joe to get here. However this play is much more than that as we get a small number based on St Joe good road record. That record is built on very weak competition.
Iowa Hawkeyes over Wisconsin Badgers: Simply too many points for a game with this low a total. Yes Wisc is an excellent defensive team but building and keeping a margin is another matter.
St. John’s Red Storm over Georgetown Hoyas: What will likely be a very low scoring game would make the points offered huge. STJ has only lost twice this year by more than this margin.
Creighton Blue Jays over Southern Illinois Salukis: What looks to be too many road points to lay will turn out not to be. Creighton has lost 2 road games in a row.
Utah St. Aggies over Louisiana Tech Bulldogs: Wow to be able to get Ut St. as a home dog against an overrated L.Tech team that has played a very weak schedule provides us with excellent value.
Illinois St. Redbirds over Southern Illinois Salukis: Talk about buying in low. Ill St. was set to challenge this year for a big dance spot and now find themselves 0-6 in the conference. S. Ill is not much better at 1-5 however they were projected to be here.
