• 5:30PM CST: St. John’s Red Storms -1 vs. Xavier Musketeers; Total 153

Xavier is a much better team than their record shows in my opinion. Big man Zach Freemantle is back in the lineup but the Musketeers still lost to Georgetown on the road. The Johnnies tend to struggle on the road so this might be the perfect recipe for the Musketeers to get back on track. I’m backing Xavier at home but staying away from the total. Both of these teams like to get up and run but they also play in some defensive battles in the Big East.

Play: Xavier +1 (-112) [via DraftKings]

• 6:00PM CST: Kentucky Wildcats -2 vs. Georgia Bulldogs; Total 152.5

The Georgia Bulldogs have been great against Kentucky at home recently. Kentucky is coming off a huge win at home against Florida. I like Kentucky but it feels like a spot where they drop one against Georgia. I still think we get a shootout.

Play: OVER 152.5 (-110) [via DraftKings]

• 6:00PM CST: Pitt Panthers vs. Duke Blue Devils -15; Total 143.5

Both of these teams are red hot and shooting the leather off of the basketball. Just take away the uniforms and I have these teams about as close to even as you can get. Both schools are at the top of the country in offense and Pitt is one of the best three point shooting teams in the country. I think we get a shootout tonight in Durham.

Play: Pitt +14 (-108) [via DraftKings]
Play: OVER 143.5 (-110) [via DraftKings]

• 6:00PM CST: Arizona Wildcats -4 vs. West Virginia Mountaineers; Total 142

Arizona has been a disappointment this season but I never had them rated highly. West Virginia on the other hand has been the biggest turnaround of the season. It sounds like Tucker DeVries will play tonight, which will be huge. WVU defeated Arizona earlier this season in the Bahamas but I still think the Mountaineers keep the hot streak going. Again, I don’t rate Arizona highly.

Play: West Virginia +4 (-112) [via DraftKings]

• 6:00PM CST: Clemson Tigers vs. Louisville Cardinals -3.5; Total 147

Clemson is better than Louisville in just about every metric but they hate playing in Louisville. The Cardinals have dominated this series at home with worse talent than the Tigers. Normally, Clemson would be the team favored here but they are not for good reason. Louisville has won seven straight at home vs. Clemson and I think they make it number 8 tonight.

Play: Louisville -3.5 (-108) [via DraftKings]

• 7:00PM CST: Cincinnati Bearcats vs. Baylor Bears -5.5; Total 139.5

Baylor just got embarrased by Iowa State. I am expecting a big bounce back from Baylor tonight. Cincinnati isn’t the best on the road especially when it comes to shooting from three. I like this number with Baylor in this spot.

Play: Baylor -5.5 (-110) [via DraftKings]
