6-Unit Play. Take #724 Middle Tennessee State (-8)
over Western Kentucky

2-Unit Play. Take #746 UAB (-5.5)
over Marshall
(8 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 24)
Big game in CUSA. This one will likely decide who is the top seed in the conference tournament and who wins the regular season title. UAB is the better team and I think that this one could be a blowout. They already won in Huntington earlier this season. Now they are at home where they have a nice home court advantage. UAB is 6-2 ATS in its last eight home games and they always raise their level of play against top teams. UAB is 20-7 ATS in its last 27 games against teams that are over .500 and they are 8-0 ATS in their last eight games against Marshall. Go with the home team.2-Unit Play. Take #752 Arkansas-Little Rock (-7)
over UT-Arlington
(8 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 24)
This game is very similar to my wager on UAB. UA-LR is the better team in the conference here in this big game. These are two of the top teams in the Sun Belt but there is a clear difference. Arlington is just 5-5 in its last 10 games and has struggled down the stretch. They are coming off a tough loss to Louisiana-Monroe and that loss exposed some of their flaws, especially on offense. UA-LR already beat Arlington on the road this season and I think that they will get the sweep here.2-Unit Play. Take #728 Seton Hall (-4)
over Providence
(7 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 24)
Seton Hall won at Providence this season and I think that they can pull the sweep with a big win here at home. This Seton Hall team has flown under the radar. But they have won six of their last seven games and they are focused on making it back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in a long time for this storied program. Providence star player Kris Dunn missed practice yesterday with a stomach bug and is not 100 percent. Seton Hall should run him ragged tonight. Providence has lost four of its last five games and their last five wins have all been very, very close by four points or less or in OT. This team’s record could be a lot worse and I think they are overrated. Go with the homer here.2-Unit Play. Take #720 Northeastern (-3.5)
over Charleston
(7 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 24)
Northeastern nearly knocked off Charleston on the road in the first meeting this year, falling in overtime. But I think that they will make up for it here. Northeastern is 3-1 SU and ATS in its last four games and this team wants to stay above .500 in the hopes that it gets to go to one of the smaller tournaments this postseason. Charleston3-Unit Play. Take #733 UTEP (+7.5)
over Old Dominion
(7 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 24)
This is too many points for the home team to be laying out. Old Dominion has been a very average team this year. They are just 15-12 overall and 8-6 in league play. They have a bunch of home losses outright too and I think that UTEP could win this game! I had this spread handicapped at 3.5 so I was surprised to see it so high. UTEP is 6-1 ATS in its last seven and they are 5-2 ATS on the road. ODU is 8-19 ATS in its last 27 games overall and just 1-6 ATS at home. This is way too many points.3-Unit Play. Take #769 Cal-Fullerton (+8.5)
over Cal Poly
(10 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 24)
This is another line that is out of whack. Cal Poly is just 2-6 ATS in its last eight games and 3-7 ATS in its last 10. They have been one of the worst bets in the Big West this season and the books have this team all wrong. They lost their last game as a big favorite and nearly lost the game before when laying nine points. They could lose this game to a Fullerton team that has revenge after losing three straight in this series. This is too many points for the home team to cover. I see another close game.Allen Eastman

6 Unit Play. Take #730 Penn St -1
over Nebraska
(7:00p.m., Thursday February 25)
The Penn St Nittany Lions will be looking for revenge in a big way against the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Earlier this month in Lincoln, Nebraska the Nittany Lions got crushed by Nebraska 70-54 and the Lions had only one player in double-figures. Penn St comes into this home game on a winning momentum taking 3 out of their last 4 games including big wins over Indiana and Iowa. Both wins were at home and tonight I see the Bryce Jordan Center being loud and carrying the Nittany Lions to a 3rd straight wins (3rd straight home win). Penn St is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games and the favorite in this series is a perfect 4-0 ATS.2 Unit Play. Take #733 UTEP +7
over Old Dominion
(7:00p.m., Thursday February 25)
This play is all on the UTEP and lately the Miners have been covering machines as of late. UTEP comes to this road game winner of 6-Straight and is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games. UTEP is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games and the Old Dominion Monarchs are 2-8 ATS following a SU loss and the Monarchs are also 1-6 ATS in their last 7 home gamesWUNDERDOG SPORTS
Game: Cal State Fullerton Titans (769) @ Cal Poly SLO Mustangs (770)
Time: Thursday 02/25 10:00 PM Eastern
Pick: Cal State Fullerton +9 (-105)
Two teams with disappointing seasons square off as Cal State Fullerton looks to avenge an earlier 83-75 loss to Cal Poly when the Titans made just five of 17 three-point attempts. Kahlil Ahmad and Tre Coggins scored 22 and 21 points, respectively, in the losing effort for the Titans while Reese Morgan led the Mustangs with 17 points. Fullerton comes off a 70-57 loss at Long Beach State on Saturday with Malcolm Brooks scoring 14 points, and it was the fourth road game in their last five games. Cal Poly lost in overtime to lowly Cal State Northridge as Morgan scored 23 points, but his team shot just 37.9 percent overall. Cal Poly is 2-6 ATS its last eight games and 0-5 ATS its last five home games. This is too many points to lay in this matchup. Play Cal State Fullerton.MIKE DAVIS
8-Unit Play. Take #728 Seton Hall -4
over Providence
(Thursday, February 25th at 7:00 p.m.)My spreadsheet has Seton Hall winning this game by a final score of 85-68. The key components in this matchup are recent form, recent head-to-head results, and home court advantage
Providence is struggling and it was bound to happen. They have two players on their team and the rest are simply very average college basketball players. Kris Dunn is the main guy and he has been a bit weak this week with a stomach bug. Ben Betil is the inside force and he is more of a rebounder and a guy that gets garbage buckets with hustle. Simply put: they can’t do it all for the entire season and that has started to show as of late. In fact, Providence has lost 4 out of 5 games with their only win being a 3-point victory at home over Georgetown.
Seton Hall has won two road games in a row after losing at home to Butler. This is their first home game since February 10th and the place will be electric. The Butler loss is their only loss in their last six games. They have played good, solid team basketball all year long and that will be the key to winning tonight. They beat Providence 81-72 at Providence back on January 16th and this line has a lot of built-in value.
Team basketball will almost always win out over a team with 1 or 2 really good players. I love the “Team” to win big tonight.
Pirates are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS loss.Pirates are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600.Pirates are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.Pirates are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.Pirates are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.Pirates are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games.Pirates are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall.Pirates are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 vs. Big East.
