The Gators have gone OVER the total in 10 straight games now.

They've also seen the total finish OVER in all of their L7 games against opponents within the SEC.

Auburn is not scoring as much, but has to score a lot tonight if it wants to win.

We're on the OVER tonight.

AAA Sports

We like the BYU Cougars @ Alabama Crimson Tide to finish OVER the total on Thursday at 7:09pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

BYU scored 91 points against Wisconsin in its round two game.

The Cougars are one of the only teams in the nation that might be able to keep up with Alabama's pace of play.

They've seen the total finish OVER in seven of their L8 games played when they are the underdog.

We won our Round Two T.O.Y. on Alabama/St. Mary's UNDER. That line was a lot lower.

The Crimson Tide have seen six of their L7 games with a total of more than 170 go OVER the total.

We've got the OVER in this top level offensive game.

AAA Sports

We like the Saint Mary's CA Gaels vs Alabama Crimson Tide to finish UNDER the total on Sunday at 6:10pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones.

Saint Mary's is one of the top defensive playing teams in Division I and we think that it will continue in this game.

The Gaels have seen the total stay UNDER in nine of their L13 games this season.

They allowed just 56 points against Vanderbilt in their first game of the tournament.

Alabama does score a lot, but it's played in low scoring games against low scoring teams.

All three games played with a total that's 160 or less this season have finished UNDER for the Crimson Tide.

We're taking the UNDER here.

AAA Sports

We like the McNeese State Cowboys vs Purdue Boilermakers game to finish UNDER the total on Saturday at 12:10pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

McNeese State played really good defense against Clemson in the 1st round in its win.

Even though the Cowboys aren't the tallest team, they play big and strong and will make it hard for Purdue to run up the score.

They've seen the total stay UNDER in nine of their L13 games this year.

We believe that Purdue will win this game, but that doesn't mean that it will score lots.

The Boilermakers have played much better defense recently and have seen the total stay UNDER in five of their L7 away/neutral court games.

We don't think either team gets to 72 points today.

AAA Sports

We like the Oklahoma Sooners @ UCONN Huskies game to finish UNDER the total for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Oklahoma is scoring a lot right now, but will be forced to play a lot slower, against one of the slowest sides that its played all year.

The Sooners don't do well on the glass, which should give them a lot less chances to score on second chance points.

Connecticut likes to play a slow, methodical style of basketball.

The Huskies do score quite a bit considering, but has played in five games that all have gone UNDER so far in March.

Since last year, they've seen 10 straight UNDER's in March.

We're on the UNDER here.

AAA Sports

We like the UC San Diego Tritons vs Michigan Wolverines game to finish OVER the total for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

UC San Diego has gone UNDER a ton recently. But, it hasn't played a team at Michigan's level all season. The one tournament team it played was Utah State in a game that combined for 148.

The Tritons cause plenty of steals and will have many fast break opportunities in this game.

They also score almost 80 points a game that should help them keep it close, even if Michigan cracks the defense.

The Wolverines will definitely have something up their sleeve with how they play and how good the coaching is.

Michigan should have a lot of open space down low to attack inside the paint.

We're on the OVER tonight.

AAA Sports

We like the George Mason Patriots @ Virginia Commonwealth Rams to finish UNDER the total on Sunday at 1:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

George Mason is a team that could be scary for VCU. It plays its best basketball when it slows the game down to its most comfortable pace.

The Patriots have gone UNDER with the Rams in three games in a row between each other.

VCU has won both games in this tournament rather easily, giving up less than 60 points in those games -- 55 and 59.

The Rams have seen the total stay UNDER in five of their L8 games this season.

We think that this game will be won with the winner scoring in the low 60s.

Take the UNDER.

AAA Sports

We like the Creighton Blue Jays @ St. John's Red Storm on Saturday at 6:30pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

We won with Creighton yesterday against UCONN. Its now scored more than 70 points in four straight games and seven of its L8 games.

The Blue Jays are going to be hard to beat and St. John's knows it. They have a great starting lineup that can really score.

The last game between these two teams was in February. It was 79-73 for St. John's.

The Red Storm are red hot and have scored more than 70 points in nine games in a row now.

We know that the defenses are good, but we think that both offenses will shine under the bright lights.

Play on the OVER.

AAA Sports

We like the Tulane Green Wave @ Memphis Tigers to finish UNDER the total on Saturday at 3:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Tulane won its Quarter-Final game with a lot of points. This is a different position. It'll need defense to win this game.

The Green Wave are 15-12-1 towards the UNDER this season.

They gave up just 68 points in the last game between these two teams. Memphis was home.

Memphis has gone UNDER the total in two of its L3 games.

We know that Memphis plays fast, but its defense is what seperates it from other AAC teams to go along with that.

We think that this game is played like the one in January between TUL/MEM.

Play on the UNDER.

AAA Sports

We like the Cal Poly Mustangs to defeat the UC Davis Aggies on Wednesday at 11:30pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Cal Poly scores a lot of points and has been more friendly towards the higher scoring games this season.

But, he Mustangs have gone UNDER in back-to-back games now.

UC Davis doesn't score as much as the Mustangs and should be able to slow them down like in the first two games between these two teams.

The UNDER is 17-11-1 in all of the Aggies' games with total lines this season.

Seven games in a row between these two teams have stayed below the number -- 7-0.

We're on the UNDER again.

They OVER is also 10-6 in the Fighting Hawks' 16 games played within the Summit League. 

South Dakota State like to score even more than UND -- averaged 79.9 points a game -- in all games. 

The Jackrabbits have gone UNDER more than OVER this season, but that's all going to change here against a high scoring North Dakota team. 

The OVER is 16-13-1 in their L30 games played as a favorite between -6 and -9 since 2020. 

We're on the OVER today. 

AAA Sports

The Hoyas don't score all that many points -- their opponents do the majority of the scoring.

Six of the L9 games between these two teams have stayed UNDER the total.

We're on the UNDER tonight.

Central Michigan has played some terrific defense of late.

We're on the UNDER tonight.

AAA Sports

Chattanooga has won nine games in a row and is at the top of the Southern Conference.

The Mocs play very good defense on the road as they've conceded 70 points or less in four straight road games.

They've seen the total go UNDER in three out of those four games as well.

UNC Greensboro is in second in the conference and still has a chance at the top seed. It must win today though.

The Spartans have seen four of their L5 games stay UNDER the total.

Nine of their L13 games played against opponents within the Southern Conference have stayed UNDER too.

We're on the UNDER tonight.

AAA Sports

We like the Utah Utes @ Arizona Wildcats game to finish OVER the total on Wednesday at 9:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Utah is a large sized underdog tonight. But, it's three point shooting ability should be able to keep it closer than the sportsbooks think.

Both games last year between these two teams saw more than 165 points, the last one had 204 combined.

The Utes are going to need to score lots today if they want a chance at beating one a really explosive Wildcats group.

Arizona is top scoring team in Division One. It plays fast and should be running up and down the court most of the game.

The Wildcats have seen the total go OVER in five of their L8 games this season.

Their last game against BYU went OVER by nearly 40 points!! -- 96-95 final.

We think this one will be just like last years games. The total is way down from then. The OVER is the right play.

AAA Sports

We like the Holy Cross Crusaders @ Colgate Raiders to finish UNDER the total on Wednesday at 7:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Holy Cross averages just 69.1 points a game, and just 67.8 points a game on the road.

Colgate doesn't score many more points than Holy Cross does -- 72.2 points a game.

The Raiders have seen a lot of OVERs recently which is pushing this total way higher than it should be.

The UNDER is the right play.

AAA Sports

Arkansas is off back-to-back loses and really needs to put up a good fight today.

We think that this one goes OVER on Saturday night.

AAA Sports

They have also gone UNDER in back-to-back games.

Wisconsin is seeing a lot of its home games finish UNDER the total against Big 10 opponents.

Five of the Badgers' seven games played within the conference have stayed UNDER.

We think that this total is considerably too high.

AAA Sports

We like the Columbia Lions @ Brown Bears to finish UNDER the total on Friday at 7:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones: 

Columbia does average a lot of points each game, but its the underdog today and shouldn't score as much as it averages. 

The Lions are having real trouble in games against Ivy League opponents this year. They are not going to make the tournament and they are 1-8 in Ivy League games. 

They've seen the total stay UNDER in two of their L3 games now. 

Brown doesn't score as much as Columbia, by far. 

The Bears are a much more UNDER friendly team. As favorites, they should shut down their opponents today. 

They've seen three of the L4 games this season stay UNDER. 

We think the total is considerably too high. 

AAA Sports

AAA Sports

We like the Temple Owls @ Charlotte U 49ers to finish UNDER the total on Wednesday at 7:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Temple is 14-12 this season and really likes to have high scoring games.

The Owls have actually seen 15 straight OVER's, and that includes all 13 against opponents within the AAC Conference.

When they play against Charlotte though, UNDER's have been the outcome in four of the L5 meetings.

Charlotte will be trying to keep this one on the lower scoring side and should be able to do so at home.

The 49ers have seen the total finish UNDER in five of their L6 games played in this Arena.

We think that Temple's first UNDER in the conference will happen today.

AAA Sports

We like the Virginia Tech Hokies @ Boston College Eagles game to finish UNDER the total on Tuesday at 9:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

The Hokies have seen the total stay UNDER in five of their L6 games played on the road.

They've also averaged just 68 points a game over its L8 games this season.

Boston College has been the worst team in the ACC in our opinions this year.

The Eagles are at home though where they play much better defensively.

They are off an UNDER in their last game and will be playing this game like its their Super Bowl.

Every game matters over the rest of the season and that means more defense.

Play on the UNDER.

AAA Sports

We like the Utah Valley Wolverines @ Southern Utah Thunderbirds to finish OVER the total on Saturday at 8:30pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

The Thunderbirds have also seen back-to-back games finish OVER.

Three of the L4 games between these two teams have ended OVER the total.

This one goes OVER the mark.

AAA Sports

We like the Merrimack Warriors @ Manhattan Jaspers game to finish UNDER the total on Friday at 7:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Merrimack is 14-10 overall this season, but is 11-2 within the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, leading the way in the standings.

The Warriors' terrific defense is a big part in winning these games. They've allowed less than 60 points in back-to-back games.

They have seen the total stay UNDER in six of their L7 games this season.

Manhattan scores a lot more than Merrimack, but doesn't go OVER the total much at all either.

The Jaspers have seen the total go UNDER in six of their L8 games on the year.

We think that this game finishes somewhere around the score of the last game between these two teams. (69-62 Merrimack on January 12th.)

AAA Sports

We like the James Madison Dukes @ Georgia Southern Eagles game to finish OVER the total on Thursday at 7:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

James Madison has seen 60% of its road games played against opponents within the SBC go OVER.

All four previous games between these two teams have finished OVER the total.

Georgia Southern has seen 60% of its home games played against opponents within the SBC go OVER.

Both teams shoot a lot of three point shots, which make for higher scoring games.

We think that this one is going to be just like the other four games when these teams play.

AAA Sports

We like the Monmouth Hawks @ Stony Brook Seawolves game to finish UNDER the total on Thursday at 5:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Our selection is the UNDER.

AAA Sports

We like the Illinois State Redbirds @ Northern Iowa Panthers game to finish UNDER the total on Saturday at 6:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Illinois State has been seeing a lot of OVER's recently. We think a switch up could be on our hands.

They Redbirds have gone UNDER the total in six of the L9 games when they play against Northern Iowa though.

They've also had trouble rebounding the ball this season which could end up being an issue.

Northern Iowa has been in a lot more UNDER games between these two teams recently.

The Panthers have seen the total stay UNDER in five of their L7 games this season.

We think that this game, like most of the recent meetings, stays UNDER the total on Saturday night.

AAA Sports

We like the Youngstown State Penguins @ Oakland Golden Grizzlies to finish UNDER the total on Thursday at 7:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Youngstown State scores more than its opponent, but is the underdog today.

The Penguins are off some high scoring games. But, they've seen four of their L5 games on the road finish UNDER the total.

They also allowed just 50 points in the first game against the Golden Grizzlies this season.

Oakland did lose that game 66-50 in December, but has won five of its L7 games. That game was very low scoring and this game will be the same.

The Golden Grizzlies have seen the total finish UNDER in six of 19 games this year played at home/away (non neutral court games.)

We think this one stays UNDER too.

AAA Sports

We like the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles @ St. Thomas Mn Tommies to finish OVER the total on Wednesday at 8:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Oral Roberts is 5-15 this season and has been one of the worst teams in the Summit League.

The Golden Eagles are averaging 75.2 points a game though which is very high for a team that losses that much.

They will need to score a lot tonight to beat one of the highest scoring teams in Division One.

St. Thomas Mn is 16-6 this season, averaging 84.8 points a game. That's 9th compared to all teams.

The Tommies have seen the total finish OVER in 10 of their L13 games this year.

We think this one goes OVER too.

AAA Sports

We like the Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles @ Morehead State Eagles to finish UNDER the total on Tuesday at 7:30pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Southern Indiana is better defensively than offensively in our opinions (just like Morehead State.)

The Screaming Eagles are averaging just 65.5 points a game over their L8 games this season.

Morehead State is definitely the slower of the two teams. The Eagles will control the pace and slow the game down.

They are averaging 68.7 points a game, and 59.8 points a game over their L6 games.

The Eagles have seen the total stay UNDER in eight of their L10 games now.

With Morehead State as the favorite, we think its going to be a low scoring game because that's how it likes to play.

The Hawkeyes have seen the total go OVER in five straight games played on the road.

UCLA is averaging much less in terms of scoring a game. It will need to score lots today if it wants to win.

We expect Iowa to run up the score and for UCLA to follow its lead tonight. Play on the OVER.

AAA Sports

We like the Portland State Vikings @ Northern Colorado Bears to finish OVER the total on Thursday for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

This game will go OVER the total as well.

Wright State isn't scoring at the same level, but is still putting up respectable numbers.

The Raiders have seen the total go OVER in 19 of their L30 game since the end of last year.

Last year's two meetings had 204 points and 156 points.

Wright State has seen the total stay UNDER in three games in a row now.

The Raiders have scored an average of just 68.0 points a game over those three games.

Robert Morris has seen plenty of OVER's recently which is why we believe an UNDER is on the cards today.

The Colonials shoot less than 30% from behind the three point line which is near the bottom in Division One.

We like these teams to have trouble finding their rhythms today leading to an UNDER.

AAA Sports

We like the North Florida Ospreys @ Bellarmine Knights to finish UNDER the total on Saturday at 6:30pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

North Florida has lost five straight games. Its averaged 70.6 points a game over those games.

With the Ospreys having trouble scoring themselves, its hard to see this game having this many points.

We think that they will score more than they have recently. But, it's still not going to be enough.

Bellarmine won't score enough in this game either for it to go OVER the total.

The Knights have gone UNDER their team total in seven of the L11 games this season.

We think this one stays UNDER the total by quite a bit.

AAA Sports

We like the San Diego Toreros @ Gonzaga Bulldogs game to finish UNDER the total on Wednesday at 9:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

San Diego is 4-12 this season, averaging less than 67 points a game this season.

The Toreros don't really stand a chance today. We believe that they score even less than their current average.

They have seen the total stay UNDER in eight of their L11 games this year.

Gonzaga is the big favorite in this game. We think that it will shut down its opponents completely in this game.

The Zags have seen back-to-back home games finish UNDER the total.

This one stays below the high line.

AAA Sports

We like the St. John's Red Storm @ Xavier Musketeers game to finish OVER the total on Tuesday at 6:30pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Xavier is averaging 79.5 points a game this season, shooting a very good percentage from the three point line.

The Musketeers have seen the total go OVER in seven of their L8 games played in the month of January.

The OVER is also 5-2 over the L7 meetings between these two teams.

We think this one is going to be a shootout.

AAA Sports

We like the Nicholls State Colonels @ East Texas A&M Lions to finish UNDER the total on Monday at 7:30pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

East Texas A&M average just 63.5 points a game which is 12th worst among Division One programs.

The Lions have scored less than 62 points in back-to-back games now.

They are also shooting just 41.1% from the field this season which is one of the worst as well.

Nicholls State should win this game, but don't score all that much either.

The Colonels average just 73.5 points a game with an 8-6 record.

They've scored less than 73 points in five straight games against Division One teams.

We think Nicholls will start slow leading this game to finish UNDER the total.

AAA Sports

We like the Saint Mary's Gaels @ Portland Pilots to finish UNDER the total on Saturday at 10:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Saint Mary's has been getting better and better on defense as conference play has begun.

Over their two games within the conference so far, the Gaels have given up 101 points (50.5 average.)

The Gaels have seen the total finish UNDER in seven of their L10 games this season.

Portland is much better defensively than offensively as well.

The Pilots are averaging just over 71 points a game, and that's against very weak competition for the most part.

They have seen the total go UNDER in 18 of their L32 games.

The total has also stayed UNDER in eight of the L12 games between these teams.

We see this one staying below the number.

AAA Sports

We like the Xavier Musketeers @ Georgetown Hoyas game to finish UNDER the total on Friday at 8:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Xavier has seen the the total stay UNDER in 13 of its L16 games since last season.

The Musketeers are also 4-10 towards the UNDER so far this year.

They don't rebound the ball well, so there shouldn't be many second chances for them.

The UNDER is a perfect 6-0 over the L6 Georgetown games.

The Hoyas have also seen their own team total stay UNDER in 18 of their L32 contests.

Georgetown has one of the best defenses in College Basketball through two months.

We believe that good defense will be shown heavily tonight.

Take the UNDER.

AAA Sports

We like the Central Michigan Chippewas @ Arizona Wildcats game to finish OVER the total on Saturday at 4:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Central Michigan might not be at the same level as Arizona. But, CMU should still be able to score against them with how bad the Wildcats have been.

The Chippewas have seen the total go OVER in five of their L7 games this season.

Arizona is averaging 84.7 points a game even with their 5-5 record.

The Wildcats have seen the total go OVER in four of their L6 games this season.

Both teams should have no trouble scoring in today's game with two bad defenses.

We think this one goes OVER at ease this afternoon.

AAA Sports

We like the Norfolk State Spartans vs Alabama State Hornets game to finish OVER the total on Thursday at 5:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Norfolk State is averaging 75.8 points per game this season. Over it's L3 games, Norfolk has given up an average of 81.67 points per game.

The Spartans will have an easy time scoring against one of the worst defenses in the country.

Alabama State is allowing 82.2 points per game this year which is 12th worst in all of division one.

The Hornets are averaging 79.3 points per game this season. They make a lot of three balls which helps a lot.

The Hornets have gone OVER the total in six out of their nine games this season.

We think this one goes OVER as well.

AAA Sports

We like the Murray State Racers @ Indiana State Sycamores game to finish OVER the total on Wednesday at 7:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Murray State is averaging 79.3 points per game this season. They shoot 3's at a very high percentage, leading to more points.

The Racers have seen their own team total go OVER in nine of their L13 road games.

Indiana State is averaging 82.8 points per game this season. They shoot at a very high percentage overall and play at a very fast pace.

The Sycamores have seen the total go OVER in 23 of their L37 games since last year.

They have also failed to reach the 80 point mark just three times in 10 games this season. We think they reach it today.

We're going with the OVER.

AAA Sports

We like the Drexel Dragons @ Howard Bison game to finish OVER the total on Tuesday at 3:30pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Drexel is 7-4 this season, after scoring 77 and winning their latest game against Albany.

The Dragons have seen the total go OVER in 18 of their L31 games since last season.

Howard is 5-6, while averaging 78.7 points per game this season.

The Bison have seen the total go OVER in 19 of their L33 games since last year.

Both teams shoot the three ball at a high clip and we think that will lead to lots of scoring today.

The OVER is the play.

AAA Sports

We like the Denver Pioneers @ Cal State Fullerton Titans to finish UNDER the total on Sunday at 5:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

The Pioneers normally play at a higher pace, but should slow down tonight against a team that loves to control the pace in CSUF.

Denver has gone UNDER the total in 67% of their games with O/U lines this season.

Cal State Fullerton average less than 60 points a game right now (recipe for disaster if wins are wanted.) But, CSUF are the betting favorite today and we think that it will be able to lock down defensively.

The Titans' games have gone UNDER the total at a 70% clip this season so far in games with lines .

We think this one will be low scoring.

AAA Sports

We like the Army Black Knights @ George Washington Revolutionaries game to finish OVER the total for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Army have been one of the top scoring teams this season in the NBA. They are averaging nearly 84 points per game this season.

Over their L8 games played with an O/U line, the Black Knights have seen every single one of them finish OVER the total.

Army have also seen at least one team crack the 90 points mark in three straight games this season.

George Washington have averaged 77.7 points per game this season. That's not as great, but it's still quite a bit.

The OVER is 5-2-1 over their L8 games that the Revolutionaries have played this season.

We think the next OVER comes on Friday.

AAA Sports

We like the Iowa State Cyclones @ Iowa Hawkeyes game to finish OVER the total for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Iowa State are one of the best teams in Division 1 and their offense is a big part in that. The Cyclones are averaging 87.8 points per game this season.

ISU have seen the total go OVER in four of their L5 games this season.

The Cyclones also just scored 100 points in their last game. They'll be ready to put on a show today.

Iowa are averaging 86.1 points per game this season. They too have one of the best offenses in the country.

The Hawkeyes have seen the total go OVER in 11 of their L16 games since last season.

12 of the L16 games between these two schools have gone OVER as well.

We think this one will be a shootout.

AAA Sports

We like the South Dakota State Jackrabbits @ Nevada Wolfpack to finish UNDER the total on Wednesday at 10:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

South Dakota State are not allowing very many points this season. They've played some competition and have still only allowed 66.45 points per game this season.

The Jackrabbits have also allowed an average of just 60.25 points per game over their L4 games.

SDAK State went UNDER the total in three of those games (the other one didn't have an O/U line.)

Over their L7 games played on the road, five of them have finish UNDER the total.

Nevada have lost back-to-back games but didn't allow over 70 in either of them.

The Wolfpack have seen the total stay UNDER in five of their L6 games this season now.

We think that this one stays UNDER the total as well.

AAA Sports

We like the Abilene Christian Wildcats @ Baylor Bears to finish OVER the total on Monday at 8:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Baylor is a big favorite for this game. They are averaging 83.4 points per game which ranks them 43rd in Division 1.

The Bears are also averaging 99.66 points per game in three games at Foster Pavilion in Waco Texas.

Baylor have seen the total go OVER in five of their L6 games as well this season. Six straight Bears home games have gone OVER too.

Abilene Christian have seen the total go OVER in four of their L5 games this season.

The OVER is 6-0 in the Wildcats' L6 games played in the month of December.

Abilene Cristian will need put up points to stay in this game. Don't underestimate them. They could keep this one closer than people think.

We've got a high scoring game on our hands for today.

AAA Sports

We like the Northern Colorado Bears @ North Dakota State Bison game to finish OVER the total for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Northern Colorado have seen the total go OVER in each of their L5 games played in the month of December.

UNCO have also seen the total go OVER in 13 of their L17 games played away from home.

North Dakota State shoot a lot of threes. They average more than 12 makes a game from the 3 point line.

The Bison have seen the total go OVER in six of their L8 games overall.

The OVER is also 6-0 in the L6 NDST games played versus teams from the Big Sky Conference.

This will be a high scoring game. Back the OVER.

AAA Sports

We like the Purdue Boilermakers @ Penn State Nittany Lions game to finish OVER the total on Thursday for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

The OVER is 10-3 over the L13 meetings between these two teams.

Purdue won 95-87 (182 total points) in their most recent meeting against each other (in February.)

Purdue loves to shoot the three ball. They have to do a lot more of that this season without Edey in their lineup from last year.

Penn State have seen the game total finish OVER in 14 of their L21 games at home.

Both teams are averaging a lot of points per game combined with their opponents this season.

We're expecting another past paced CBB game in this Big Ten matchup.

AAA Sports

We like the San Diego State Aztecs @ Fresno State Bulldogs game to finish UNDER the total on Wednesday at 10:30pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

San Diego State have been known for their slow pace and defense over the years. We think more of the same is to come today.

The Aztecs have seen the total stay UNDER in six of their L9 games since last season.

SDST have only hit their "Team Point Total" OVER in 15 of their L34 games. As the big favorite, that should be something to keep an eye on.

Fresno State have seen the total stay UNDER in two of their L3 losses this season.

The UNDER is 5-1 over the L6 games between these two teams.

We expect a low scoring game with SDST holding the Bulldogs to around 60 points.

AAA Sports

We like the UT Arlington Mavericks @ UL Monroe Warhawks game to finish OVER the total on Monday at 7:30pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Texas Arlington have seen the total go OVER in six of their L9 games since the end of last season.

The Mavericks are averaging close to 80 points a game this season playing at a fairly fast pace.

UTA are also a very capable three point shooting team. They average 9.2 makes from behind the three point line a game.

The OVER is 5-0 in the L5 games between these teams played in Monroe, Louisiana.

ULM have also seen the total go OVER in five of their L6 games played against opponents from the WAC Conference.

We think this one flies OVER the total. Lots of points are expected.

AAA Sports

We like the New Mexico Lobos @ Arizona State Sun Devils game to finish OVER the total on Thursday at 11:30pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Arizona State have seen the total go OVER in each of their L5 games.

The Sun Devils are averaging 87.0 points per game over their L3 games.

ASU has also seen the total go OVER in seven of their L8 games played in the month of November.

New Mexico have looked good offensively. They are averaging 85.5 points per game.

They also play at the fastest pace in the nation, according to KenPom's adjusted tempo rankings.

UNM are prone to giving up a lot of points as well as scoring lots.

The OVER is definitely the play in Thursday nights game.

AAA Sports

We like the Oklahoma Sooners @ Arizona Wildcats game to finish OVER the total on Thursday at 5:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Yesterday's 104 points helped Arizona get back above .500 for the season. They are averaging 99.66 points per game in wins this year and are expected to win again today.

The Wildcats play at a very fast pace and are great in transition. They will get a lot of offensive rebounds and second chance points.

Oklahoma aren't as fast paced, but are still up there in that department.

The Sooners create a lot of turnovers and quick points with steals.

Both of these teams are capable of putting up 90 points in any game. We like the OVER here.

AAA Sports

We like the Arkansas Razorbacks @ Illinois Fighting Illini game to finish UNDER the total on Thursday at 4:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

We know that Illinois likes to get out and play fast. But, they will be slowed down in this game by a Coach Calipari led Razorbacks team.

Arkansas has allowed an average of only 59.17 points per game so far this season. They have one of the best defenses in the nation.

The Razorbacks do like to score themselves, but Illinois' defense is fairly strong too.

The Fighting Illini have seen the total stay UNDER in four of their L5 games this season.

The past two meetings between these two teams have both stayed UNDER by significant margins.

We think this one stays UNDER too.

AAA Sports

We like the Quinnipiac Bobcats @ Saint Louis Billikens game to finish UNDER the total on Monday at 8:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Quinnipiac's offense isn't really good. They are averaging less than 70 points a game.

The Bobcats have seen the total stay UNDER in nine of their L12 games since last season.

They have also seen the total go UNDER in four of their L5 games played against opponents in the A10 Conference.

Saint Louis got destroyed in their last game. They will want to step it up defensively today.

The Billikens have seen the total stay UNDER in four of their L6 games this year.

We think that even though they will play at a higher pace (why the total is high,) this one won't have enough offense to push OVER the total. We'll go with the UNDER.

AAA Sports

We like the Wofford Terriers @ St. Thomas MN Tommies to finish OVER the total on Friday at 5:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Wofford has seen every game stay UNDER so far. That's because they've been playing on the road. Back at home, they should put up good numbers.

St. Thomas have a very good offense. They are 3-2 this season with their only losses away against ASU and OKST.

The three ball is the main game for the Tommies. They'll try their best to knock those down this early evening.

Wofford's defense is quite bad and they will have to put up points to match St. Thomas if they want to win this game.

Both teams will want to win this 50/50 game. We expect a lot of offense to be played leaving us no choice but to take the OVER.

AAA Sports

We like the Tennessee Volunteers @ Louisville Cardinals game to finish UNDER the total on Saturday at 12:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Even though the Vols have scored a lot this year, they've been playing great defense. They are known for their defense and they should continue to be here.

Louisville should play with a lot more quality than Gardner-Webb (Tennessee's first opponent.) Even more-so at home.

Since last season, nine of the L13 games for Tennesse have stayed UNDER.

Over the past six home games for the Cardinals, they've seen the total stay UNDER as well.

Louisville allowed only 45 points to Morehead State in their first game.

This game should be a close battle and we think it stays UNDER by quite a bit.

AAA Sports

We like the Akron Zips @ Arkansas State Red Wolves game to finish OVER the total on Monday at 8:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Akron lost some of their top guys from last season. But, they still have great offensive weapons. The Zips will be wanting to turn some heads as the underdog in this first game after making the Big Dance last season.

Arkansas State, led by their superstar transfer Kobe Julien, will be looking to make some noise this year. Julien led their conference in points per game with 17.3 for an opposing team. They bring him in to make them even more of a bucket getting side.

Averaging nearly 79 points per game last season, the Red Wolves are going to want to kick things off with a big high scoring performance.

With two supposedly strong offensive teams going head-to-head for the first time, we're looking for a high scoring matchup.

This line could go up before tip-off so take advantage asap.

AAA Sports

10* NC State/Duke OVER (ELITE 8 TOY)

NC State beat in the Conference Tournament, but it'll be hard for the Wolfpack to beat this Blue Devils side twice in two weeks. So far the Blue Devils have seen all of their postseason games go "under" the number this year, including the 74-69 setback to NC State back on March 14th. Note though that the Blue Devils have seen the total eclipse the posted number in eight of their last 11 in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference loss vs an opponent. The Wolfpack is versatile and can play any style of contest. We're expecting this one to finally be a bit more wide-open; this number is low, the play is the "over!" 

AAA Sports

10* UNDER Creighton/Tennessee (SWEET 16 TOY)

The Blue Jays opened the tournament with a 17-point win over Akron, but hten needed double OT to knock-off No. 11 seed Oregon in the second round. We're expecting Creighton to now come out with "heavy legs" here in the Sweet 16 and to double down defensively after the offensive marathon last time out. Tennessee cruised by St. Peter's by 34 in the opening round of the Tournament, but then it had to hold on for dear life in its four point win over 7-seed Texas in the second. With each of these teams still "reeling" from their Round of 32 wins, this is the type of great "situational" play that we're always on the look out for at this point of the tournament. Considering all of the situational factors pointing to each of these sides being exhausted here on Friday, we're definitely rolling with the "under" as far as the total is concerned in this one!

AAA Sports

10* UNDER Texas A&M/Houston (2ND RND. NCAA TOY)

Both teams dominated in their opening round games behind tough defensive play, and we're expecting those trends to continue here. These two teams squared off on December 16h and Houston won 70-66. While we expect another competitive game here as well, we absolutely expect an even lower-scoring defensive "chess match" in this one. Texas A&M averages 75.5 PPG, while allowing 71.2, while Houston averages 73.4 PPG, while allowing a nation-low 56.7. The first game in December went "over" the number, but this one has defensive battle written all over; this number is high, the play is indeed on the "under!" 

AAA Sports

10* Charleston/Alabama UNDER (NCAA FIRST RND TOY)

The 27-7 Charleston Cougars are going for their 13th consecutive win, but to do that the 13th seed will have to get by the No. 4 sedd in 21-11 Alabama. The Cougars did win the CAA in beating Stony Brook 82-79, but they didn't cover the 10.5-point spread. The Tide finished fifth in the SEC and lost to the Gators by a score of 102-88 in the quarterfinals of the Conference Tournament. If we delve a little closer into Charleston's numbers though, we find that it finished 88th overall, with a strength of schedule that was ranked 226th in the country. The Tide's weakness this year was their play on the defensive end, but they catch a break here in our estimation. We're expecting a much tighter, and ultimately lower-scoring affair; the play is the "under!"

AAA Sports

10* OVER Drake/Washington State.

We're expecting a wide-open shootout here between No. 10 seed Drake and No. 7 seed Washington State. These teams matchup well. It won't be a cake-walk for Washington State. Both have "played down" at times to the level of their competition, but they've also stepped up their against tougher opponents, as evidenced by their winning seasonal records in Quad 1 games. Washington State has a tough defense, but Drake will be pushing the pace. Look for this total to fly "over" the number sooner, rather than later!

AAA Sports

10* OVER Grambling/Montanta State.

Two teams looking to advance past the First Four collide on Wednesday night and in our opinion, everything points to a wide-open and much higher-scoring affair than what this O/U line is suggesting. Both 16 seeds. Grambling State finally got past Texas Southern in the SWAC, avenging two-straight losses in the Conference Tourney Championship Game, while Montana State rode some hot 3-point shooting to win its final four games to win the Big Sky Conference Tournament and earn a third-straight NCAA Tournament bid. Coming into the regular season finale they were just 13-17. Momentum is a very real thing and it's a factor in which the oddsmakers often have a difficult time properly quantifying into a line, and that's the case here. Look for each side to push the pace and then look for this total to fly "over" the number before the final horn blares!

AAA Sports

10* OVER Wagner/Howard (TOTAL BLOCKBUSTER)

The winner of this one will have the unenviable matchup of UNC right after, but regardless, these two hopeful 16 seeds have nothing to lose and we're definitely expecting a faster pace. Both teams managed to come together at the right time and win their conference tournaments. The Bisons though have one of the worst defenses in the nation and are notorious in turning the ball over (21.7% of possessions.) With each team pushing the pace like we anticipate, all signs point to this total flying "over" the number sooner, rather than later!

AAA Sports

10* UNDER Wisconsin/Illinois (BIG TEN TOURNEY CHAMPIONSHIP)

These teams have played to some high-scoring games to reach the Championship game, but we're finally expecting more of a defensive affair with everything on the line here. Wisconsin managed to knock off No. 1 seed Purdue to reach this for this game for the first time since 2016/17, while Illinois beat Nebraska. These teams did have one game in the regular season, and it was a high-scoring one in the Illini's 91-83 victory, but note that Wisconsin has in fact seen the total go "under" the number in four of its last five in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference loss vs. an opponent as a favorite. This number is now a little bit TOO high, so the play is the "under!" 

AAA Sports

10* UNDER SDSU/Utah State.

Quick turn-arounds in these tournaments means that finding edges and angles wherever you can to exploit is the key to success, and as primarily "situational" cappers, this one falls right into our wheelhouse. SDSU finished 23-9, while Utah State was 27-5. They're pretty evenly matched. They split their regular season series 1-1 this year. But after each played to overtime yesterday, to advance to this contest, we're absolutely expecting each team to be fatigued here in the second game of the back-to-back scenario. Look for each to double down defensively after their difficult high-scoring contest yesterday; this number is high, the play is the "under!" 

AAA Sports

10* UNDER Pitt/UNC (ACC TOURNEY TOY)

Pitt beat Wake Forest 81-69 to advanced to the quarterfinal of the ACC, while UNC beat FSU 92-67. Both games went "over" the number, but we're finally expecting a much tighter, and ultimatley lower-scoring battle here on Friday night. The strength of each side has been on the offensive end all season, and the oddsmakers know that. The public knows that. But now here at this point of the tournament, the value has swung the other way as far as the total is concerned in our opinion (and finally, note that UNC has in fact seen the total go "under" the number in three of its last four off a SU/ATS win and playing with 0 days rest.) This number is high, the play is the "under!" 

AAA Sports 

10* UNDER Kent State/Toledo (MAC TOTAL OF YEAR)

This is just a great situational play. Kent finished 15-16, while Toledo was 20-11. Kent finished the season with two straight losses, including an 86-71 setback to Toledo in the finale. Note though that the Flashes have seen the total dip below the posted number in eight of their last 11 in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference road loss vs. an opponent. Toledo finished with three straight wins and all three victories went "over" the number, but note that's also important as the Rockets have in fact seen the total dip below the posted number in seven of their last ten after playing to three or more straight "overs" in a row. We're expecting a MUCH more defensive battle between these foes here in the rematch; this number is indeed high, the play is the "under!"

AAA Sports

10* OVER Davidson/Fordham (A-10 TOURNEY TOY)

These teams have been involved in several lower-scoring games of late, but we're expecting a much more wide-open affair this time around finally between Davidson and Fordham. The A-10 Tourney gets going here with 15-16 Davidson facing off against 12-19 Fordham. The Wildcats finished the year by losing five straight. The beat Fordham 68-53 on February 20th, and note that the Rams have seen the total eclipse the posted number in eight of their last 11 in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference road loss in which they were held to 55 or fewer points in. With each team pushing the pace like we suspect, all signs point to this total flying "over" the number sooner, rather than later!

AAA Sports

10* UNDER Milwaukee/UNK (Horizon League Tourney TOY)

These teams have been playing to several higher-scoring affairs of late, but we're finally expecting more of a defensive battle here between Milwaukee and Northern Kentucky on Monday night. Northern Kentucky enters averaging 74.8 PPG, while allowing 72.9, while Milwaukee averages 79.5 PPG, while conceding 78.6. Milwaukee finished 19-14 overall, while UNK was 18-14. The Panthers lost 90-72 at Northern Kentucky on January 18th, but then bounced back and won 73-72 at home on February 17th. These two evenly matched sides have played to a couple of high-scoring affairs to reach this point of the tournament, but everything finally points to much more of a defensive battle in our opinion this time around; this number is high, the play is indeed on the "under!" 

AAA Sports

10* OVER Gardner Webb/UNC Asheville.

This is a great situational play. Both teams ended the regular season with B2B UNDERS, and they both opened the Tournament with low-scoring victories as well. That's signficant for us to take note of though for two reason. Reason 1: Gardner Webb has in fact seen the total go OVER the number in three of its last four after playing to three or more straight UNDERS in a row. Reason 2: UNC Asheville has seen the total dip below the posted number in eight of its last 11 in the same position. The last time these teams played, Gardner Webb managed the 78-77 victory in late February, and we're expecting an even higher-scoring "shootout" this time around; this number is low, the play is the "over!" 

AAA Sports

10* OVER Radford/High Point (BIG SOUTH TOURNEY TOY)

We had a play on Radford in its 67-60 win over SCUS in its opening round of the Big South Conference Tournament. The Highlanders went on to cover the five points, but the total stayed well under the number of 139.5 in that one. Including its final two regular season losses, Radford has now seen the total go "under" in three straight, but that's significant to note as the Highlanders have in fact seen the total eclipse the posted number in eight of their last 12 after playing to three or more straight "unders" in a row. High Point finished 24-7 and No. 1 in the regular season in the Conference. It's three-game win streak to end the season was snapped in a 74-72 loss at Longwood, but note that High Point has seen the total go "over" the number in three of its last four when playing with five or more days of rest. Expect a much faster pace to this contest and then look for the total to sail well "over" the number before the final horn blares!

AAA Sports

10* UNDER Cal State Fullerton/UC Riverside (BIG WEST TOY)

As primarily situational handicappers, this one falls right into our "wheelhouse." These teams are needing a win here and we're expecting that to translate into a defensive battle. There are many reasons to believe it'll be a defensive war instead of a wide-open offensive shootout. UC Riverside averages 69.6 PPG, while CSU Fullerton averages just 67.6. Each team's defense catches a break this week. The Highlanders beat the Titans 81-73 as 1.5-point favorites on the road on February 15th, and note that Cal State Fullerton has in fact seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 12 in trying to avenge a SU and ATS conference home loss as an underdog vs. an opponent. In our opinion, this one has defensive "war" written all over it; the play is indeed on the "under!" 

AAA Sports

10* UNDER OKS/Texas (BIG 12 TOM)

Both teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games of late, but all signs point to a much tighter, and lower-scoring battle finally here between these BIG 12 opponents on Saturday afternoon in our opinion. Oklahoma State is 12-16 overall, including just 1-7 on the road, while Texas is 18-10 overall, including 12-4 at home. The Cowboys are big underdogs after two straight home losses. OKS has in fact seen the total go "over" the number in five straight, but that's significant for us to take note of as the Cowboys have in fact seen the total go "under" the number in nine of their last 12 after playing to five or more straight "overs" in a row. Texas is off an upset 81-69 win at Texas Tech as a three-point dog, and note that the Longhorns have seen the total go "under" the number in three of their last four off an upset SU/ATS conference road win as a dog. Texas won't need to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish, so expect this slower-paced affair to stay well "under" once the final horn blares!

AAA Sports

10* UNDER ODU/Georgia Southern.

Overall we love the way this one sets up to be a lower-scoring defensive battle. This one is all about the overall "situation," combined with a couple of strong O/U ATS stat that fully support us here. ODU is 7-23 overall, including only 1-11 on the road. Georgia Southern is 7-23 overall as well, but 5-6 at home. This is a game that each club will feel it has an opportunity to actually win in. Expect this to tranlsate into a defensive affair. Georgia Southern has seen the total go "over" in six straight now, but despite its most recent 83-73 victory over Marshall, note that the Eagles have still seen the total go "under" the number eight of their last 12 after playing to five or more straight "overs" in a row; this number is high, the play is the "under!" 

AAA Sports

10* UNDER Saint Mary's/Pepperdine (WEST COAST TOM)

Both teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games of late, but everything finally points to much more of a defensive affair in this contest finally here at Pepperdine on Thursday night. Just a great situational play overall for a few different reasons. Saint Mary's is 23-6, including a perfect 8-0 on the road. 6-2 ATS. Pepperdine is just 12-18 overall, but 9-7 SU and 8-6 ATS. The Waves play with revenge here after a humbling 103-59 loss at the Gaels in the middle of the month, and note that Pepperdine has seen the total go "under" the number in seven of its last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference road loss vs. an opponent. Saint Mary's is off the 88-62 win over San Diego and it's now seen the total go "over" the number in three straight, which is significant to note as the Gaels have in fact seen the total go "under" the number in eight of their last 12 after playing to three or more straight "overs" in a row. The overall situation that each team finds itself in points to the "under" as the correct call as far as the total is concerned in this one!

AAA Sports

10* UNDER Youngstown State/Wisconsin Green Bay (HORIZON LEAGUE TOM)

Youngstown State is 20-9, but just 7-7 on the road. Wisconsin Green Bay is 17-11 overall, including 10-3 at home. The Penguins are off an 84-80 OT win over Milwaukee Wisconsin. They've seen the total go "over" the number in seven straight now. They play with revenge after an 84-83 loss to the Phoenix as 11-point favorites at home back on February 10th, and note that Youngstown State has in fact seen the total go "under" the number in seven of its last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference home loss as a favorite vs. an opponent. The Phoenix though have lost two straight since that upset, both as favorites. They've failed to reach the 60-point plateau in either. We have a hard time seeing them mustering much of an offensive attack this afternoon either; for all the reasons listed above, the play is the "under!"

10* BC/NC State UNDER (ACC TOM)

We base our picks on many different things. This particular one is just a great "situational" play. We're primarily situational handicappers, and we're also contrarian at heart. This particular play definitely falls right into our "wheel house." Both sides have been playing to several higher-scoring games of late, but all signs point to a much tighter, and ultimately lower-scoring battle here between these two hungry sides. BC is 15-11 overall, but just 4-5 on the road, while NC State is 16-10 overall, including 11-4 at home. BC is off an 84-76 loss at FSU and it's now seen the total go "over" in three straight. Note thought that the Eagles have in fact seen the total go "under" the number in eight of their last 12 after playing to three or more straight "overs" in a row. They lost 84-78 in OT at home to the Wolfpack, and note as well that BC has seen the total go "under" the number in five of its last six in trying to avenge a SU/ATS home conference home loss as a favorite vs. an opponent. NC State is off an 87-73 home loss to Syracuse as a seven-point fav, and note that the Wolfpack have seen the total go "under" the number in seven of their last ten after a SU/ATS conference home loss as a favorite. With each side doubling down defensively like we suspect, everything does indeed point to the "under" as the correct call in this one!

10* UNDER Saint Bonaventure/La Salle (A-10 TOY)

This is a great "situational" play, which is backed by some strong supporting O/U ATS trends, and all of these factors collide here and make this play strong enough to become our one and only A-10 TOY. Saint Bonaventure is 16-9 overall, but just 4-4 on the road, while La Salle is 12-14 overall, including 8-6 at home. The Bonnies have won two straight, most recently holding on for an 81-80 OT thriller at home over Davidson. St. Bonaventure has now seen the total fly "over" the number in five straight, but that's signficant for us to take note of here, as the Bonnies have in fact seen the total dip below the posted number in seven of their last ten after playing to five or more straight "overs" in a row. La Salle just snapped a five-game losing streak with an 82-81 win over UMass as a six-point dog, but note that the Explorers have seen the total go "under" the number in four of their last five off a SU/ATS conference victory as an underdog. The overall situation that each team finds itself coming into this one, combined with the above listed trends, does indeed make the "under" the correct call as far as the total is concerned in our opinion!

10* OVER FAMU/Alcorn State (SWAC TOM)

These teams have been involved in several lower-scoring games of late, but we're now finally anticipating much more of a wide-open "shootout" here between these conference rivals on Monday night. FAMU is just 4-19, including only 2-12 on the road, while Alcorn State is only a slightly better 8-17 overall, including 3-3 at home. This is a game that each side will believe that it can actually win, and because of that, we're definitely expecting a faster-paced, wide-open affair. FAMU has lost five straight, but note that the Rattlers have in fact seen the total go "over" the number in eight of their last 12 after five or more straight losses in a row. They play with revenge as well after a 76-67 home loss to Alcorn State as 2.5-point dogs back in January, and note that the Rattlers have seen the total eclipse the posted number in three of their last four in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference home loss vs. an opponent. The Braves are coming off three straight SU/ATS victories, with all three games going "under" the number. That's also significant for us to take note of though, as Alcorn State has seen the total go "over" the number in eight of its last ten after playing to three or more straight "unders" in a row. This total is low in our opinion, the play is indeed on the "over!"  

AAA Sports

10* UNDER Murray State/Drake (MISSOURI VALLEY TOY)

These teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games lately, but all signs point to much more of a defensive battle here finally in our opinion. Murray State is 11-15, including 4-6 on the road, while Drake is 21-5, including 13-0 at home. The Racers won't be rolling over here despite being a big dog, as they come in off B2B convincing victories, most recently an 82-72 win over Missouri State (note though that Murray State has seen the total go "under" the number in eight of its last 11 after playing to three or more straight "overs" in a row.) Drake has won three straight, with two of the three games flying "over" the number, but note that the Bulldogs have in fact seen the total go "under" the number in seven of their last ten after three or more SU victories in a row. We think Murray State will do everything it can to slow down the pace of this one; this number is high, the play is the "under!" 

AAA Sports

10* UNDER Lehigh/Bucknell.

This is a fantastic "situational" play in our estimation. Both sides have been playing to several higher-scoring games of late, but we feel that this particular battle here tonight will be a much tigher, and ultimatley lower-scoring affair here on Monday. These are two teams in need of a victory and we expect this great sense of competition to translate into a scrappy defensive-contest on the floor. Lehigh is 8-15 overall, including just 3-10 on the road, while Bucknell is a slightly better 10-15 overall, but only 4-7 at home. The Mountain Hawks are off a 94-90 OT win over Lafayette and we believe they'll still be fatigued here, so that definitely plays a big factor here. Bucknell actually upset Lehigh 86-80 on the road back in January, and note that the Mountain Hawks have seen the total go "under" the number in four of their last five in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference home loss as a favorite vs. an opponent. Look for the rematch to be a lower-scoring "under" once it's all said and done!

10* OVER Rutgers/Maryland (BIG TEN TOM)

These teams have been involved in several lower-scoring affairs of late, but all signs finally point to much more of a wide-open "shootout" here on Tuesday in our opinion. Rutgers is 11-10, while Maryland is 13-9. The Scarlet Knights just snapped a three-game slide with a huge 69-59 win at Michigan as 4.5-point dogs, and note that Rutgers has in fact seen the total go "over" the number in eight of its last 11 after a SU/ATS conference road win as an underdog. Maryland has seen the total go "under" four straight now after its most recent 63-54 road loss at Michigan State, but note that the Terps have seen the total eclipse the posted number in four of their last five off a SU/ATS conference road loss in which they were held to 55 or fewer points in. With each team pushing the pace like we expect, all signs point to this total flying "over" the number in this one!

AAA Sports

10* UNDER Arkansas-Pine Bluff/Prairie View A&M.

These teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games of late, but all signs finally point to more of a defensive affair here between these Conference rivals in our opinion on Monday night. Both teams really need a victory here, and we're expecting that sense of competition to translate into a very defensive affair. Akransas-Pine Bluff is 10-11 overall, including just 4-8 on the road, while Prairie View A&M is 8-13, including 4-2 at home. The Panthers have lost three of their last four, including an 80-69 loss here to Texas Southern last time out. While Prairie View A&M has now seen the total go "over" in four straight, note that the Panthers have still seen the total go "under" the number in eight of their last 12 after playing to three or more straight "overs" in a row. The Golden Lions have won two straight. Both games went "over" the number. But with the home side doubling down on the defensive end like we expect, everything points to a much more methodical pace to this one than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe; this number is indeed high, the play is the "under!"

10* UNDER Columbia/Harvard (IVY LEAGUE TOM)

Both sides have been involved in some higher-scoring "shootouts" out of late, but all signs finally point to more of a defensive battle here between these conference rivals in our estimation on Friday night. Columbia is 10-7 overall, including 2-5 on the road, while Harvard is 10-7 overall, including 6-3 at home. That's a stark contrast between winning and losing at home for each side. The Lions won't be rolling over here after snapping a three-game slide with an 84-81 win over Penn as 1.5-point dogs (note though that Columbia has in fact seen the total go "under" the number in seven of its last ten off a SU/ATS conference home win as an underdog.) Harvard has lost three of its last four and it's seen the total go "over" in all three losses. That includes a 78-65 setback to Yale here last time out. With each team doubling down defensively like we're expecting, the "under" does indeed become the savvy call as far as the total is concerned in this one in our opinion!

AAA Sports

10* UNDER Tulane/SMU (AAC TOM)

Both teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games of late, but we're anticipating much more of a defensive affair here on Thursday night finally between these hungry conference rivals. Tulane is 12-8 overall, but only 2-3 on the road, while SMU is 13-6 overall, including 9-2 at home. The Green Wave won't be lacking for motivation here after back-to-back losses, most recently a 75-71 home setback to Charlotte as 3.5-point favs, but note that Tulane has in fact seen the total go "under" the number in seven of its last ten off a SU/ATS home loss as a favorite. SMU fans can empathize, as their team also enters off back-to-back losses, including a 77-72 loss at Wichita State as 5.5-point favorites last time out. But that's also important for us to take note of hee, as the Mustangs have seen the total go "under" the number in eight of their last 12 off a SU/ATS conference road loss as favorites. With each team doubling down defensively like we expect, all signs do indeed point to the "under" as the savvy call here as far as the total is concerned!

AAA Sports

10* UNDER Wyoming/Air Force (ASSASSIN)

Both teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games of late, but all signs point to much more of a defensive affair here finally in our opinion between these conference rivals. After their most recent 84-70 loss at Fresno State, the Falcons have now seen the total eclipse the posted number in five straight, but that's significant for us to take note of here, as Air Force has in fact seen the total "under" the number in eight of its last 11 after playing to five of more straight "overs" in a row. Wyoming is off a high-scoring 79-76 OT win over Colorado State and it's now seen the total go "over" the number in three straight. But that's also important for us to take note of, as the Cowboys have seen the total "under" in three of their last four after playing to three or more straight "overs" in a row. These two teams are in need of a victory here and we're expecting that sense of competition to lead to a very defensive, and ultimately lower-scoring affair; the play is indeed on the "under!"  

AAA Sports

10* UNDER UNLV/SJSU (MW TOY)

Both teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games of late, but everything points to much more of a defensive affair this time around in our opinion. UNLV is 9-9 this season, including 2-2 on the road, while SJSU is 8-11 overall, including 5-4 at home. The Spartans though have now seen the total go "over" the number in ten straight after their most recent 95-75 loss to New Mexico and note that SJSU has in fact seen the total go "under" the number in seven of its last ten after playing to ten or more straight "overs" in a row. UNLV is coming off B2B high-scoring losses as well, most recently a 98-58 setback to Air Force as a 10.5-point favorite. Note though that the Rebels have seen the total go "under" the number in four of their last five off a SU/ATS home loss as a favorite in which they were held to 59 or fewer points in. Look for this competitive battle to be a defensive one; this number is high, the play is the "under!" 

AAA Sports

10* UNDER UTEP/Louisiana Tech (CONF USA TOY)

These teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games of late, but all signs point to much more of a defensive affair in this one in our opinion. UTEP is 11-8 overall, but 0-5 SU/ATS in true road games. Louisiana Tech is 13-6 overall, and a perfect 9-0 SU at home. The Miners come in off B2B home wins, with both victories flying "over" the number, but in their last road game, a 72-68 loss at FIU, the total stayed "under" the number. We suspect UTEP will once again struggle to find offensive consistency away from friendly confines. Louisiana Tech has won three straight SU/ATS, but note that the Bulldogs have in fact seen the total go "under" the number in eight of their last 12 after three or more SU/ATS victories in a row. The overall situation that each team finds itself coming into this one, combined with the numbers/trends all do indeed point to the "under" as the correct call in our opinion!

AAA Sports

10* Grand Canyon/Seattle UNDER (WAC TOY)

These teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games of late, but all signs finally point to more of a lower-scoring defensive battle in our opinion. Normally the eyes of the basketball world wouldn't pay much attention to a Western Athletic Game, but that won't be the case here, as Grand Canyon enters at 17-1. Seattle is 10-8 overall, but 9-2 at home. The Redhawks won't be rolling over here after three straight road losses (all went "over" the number, and two went to OT.) Note though that Seattle has seen the total go "under" the number in eight of its last 12 after playing to three or more straight "overs" in a row. Grand Canyon had seen the total go "under" in three straight before its most recent 78-65 win over Utah Valley. The Antelopes will have their hands full here and we're expecting them to once again double-down on the defensive end; when you add it all up, this number is indeed high in our opinion, so the play is on the "under!" 

AAA Sports

10* OVER Tennessee Martin/Morehead State (OHIO VALLEY TOY)

These teams have both been involved in several lower-scoring games of late, but all signs point to this total flying "over" the number sooner, rather than later in this particular matchup here on Thursday night. Tennessee Martin is 10-8 and Morehead State is 13-5. The Skyhawks snapped a two-game slide with a win over Little Rock last time out, and despite now having seen the total go "under" in four straight, note that Tennessee Martin has still seen the total go "over" the number in eight of its last 12 after playing to three or more straight "unders" in a row. Morehead State won't be taking anything for granted here after its five-game win streak came to an end last time out in a 61-48 loss at SIU Edwardsville. But note that the Eagles have in fact seen the total go "over" the number in eight of their last 11 after a SU/ATS loss in which they were held to 49 or fewer points in. This number is indeed a little low when you take into account all of the above listed situational and trend-based factors; the play is the "over!"

AAA Sports

10* UNDER Georgia Tech/Clemson (ACC TOY)

Both teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games of late, but all signs finally point to more of a defensive affair here in our opinion. Georgia Tech is 8-8 and Clemson is 12-4. The Yellow Jackets are just 1-4 on the road though. they're coming off an 84-79 loss at Duke. Previous to that they fell 75-68 in OT at home to Notre Dame as 6-point favorites. The Jackets come to town dejected and fatigued. Clemson just snapped a three-game slide with an 89-78 win over BC, but note that the last time these teams met, the Tigers won 72-51 and we're fully expecting a similar final combined score here as well. Both teams have seen the total go "over" the number in four straight, but that fact has only helped in driving this particular O/U line here tonight, a few points higher than it normally would/should be; this number is high, the play is the "under!" 

AAA Sports

10* OVER Washington/UCLA (PAC 12 TOM)

These two teams are in need of a win and we're expecting this faster-paced affair to ultimately eclipse the posted number sooner, rather than later. Washington is 10-6 overall, bust just 1-2 on the road, while UCLA is 6-10 overall, including 4-4 at home. The Huskies are slight favs on the road here, as they've snapped a three-game slide by winning their last two, including an 82-67 victory over ASU last time out. We're expecting a similar final combined scored here as well. The Bruins have lost four in a row and they've seen the total go "under" in four straight. Despite their 90-44 loss to Utah last time out though, note that the Bruins have in fact seen the total go "over" the number in eight of their last 11 off a conference road loss in which they were held to 99 or fewer points in. With each team pushing the pace like we expect, all signs point to this total eclipsing the posted number; the play is indeed on the "over!"
