6:00PM CST: Wichita State Shockers vs. Temple Owls -1.5; Total 153.5
The Temple Owls have won four of their last five games and have dominated this series against the Shockers. Neither teams has a good offense and their defenses are decent. Temple has been strong at home to start the season. I’m backing history in this one and taking the Owls at home against an opponent they have had success against in the past.
Play: Temple -1.5 (-110) [via DraftKings]
7:00PM CST: Michigan State Spartans vs. Ohio State Buckeyes -2; Total 148.5
I am still not a big believer in this Michigan State team. They struggle to shoot the ball especially from deep. They have good size and can rebound but Ohio State is going to be able to put up points at home. The Buckeyes have had a black eye after getting killed by Auburn but I still think they are a great team with all of their offensive talent. If they keep playing tough defense they will make noise in March.
Play: Ohio State -2 (-110) [via DraftKings]
8:00PM CST: Saint Joseph’s Hawks vs. Saint Louis Billikens -2; Total 152
This is a great A10 matchup. Saint Louis is finally finding their stride with its new head coach and players right on time. I’m not much of a fan betting Joe’s on the road. Saint Louis has momentum and home court advantage in this one. I’m laying the short number with the Billikens who have the much better offense.
Play: Saint Louis -2 (-110) [via DraftKings]
10:00PM CST: Nevada Wolf Pack vs. New Mexico Lobos -5.5; Total 150.5
What a matchup in The Pit tonight. I am genuinely surprised with the amount of support Nevada is getting tonight on the road. I was disappointed with their collapse at home against Utah State. New Mexico is the better team in my opinion. The Wolf Pack are also on a three game losing streak and now they have to play a night game at New Mexico. Rough! Give me the Lobos.
