This game will start at 5:00 P.M. EST.

Toledo Looks To Extend Its Winning Streak
The Toledo Rockets have been playing some great basketball lately as they have won each of their last three games including a 47-point home victory against the Western Michigan Broncos in their last game. In that game, Toledo's offense was amazing as it scored 91 points while shooting 54.5% from the floor and 41.9% from the three-point line. However, that offensive explosion was not too surprising since the Rockets are averaging 81.1 points per game. Now, Toledo will be looking to extend its winning streak with a conference road game up next.
Leading the way offensively for Toledo this season is senior guardMarreon Jackson who is averaging a team-high 17.5 points per game along with a team-high 6.1 assists per game. However, he is also shooting just 39.9% from the floor as he has been extremely inefficient offensively up to this point.

Toledo's most underrated player this season is junior forwardSetric Millner Jr. who is averaging 12.1 points per game along with a team-high 6.6 rebounds per game. In addition, he is only averaging 1.8 turnovers per game as he has been extremely careful with the basketball.

Central Michigan Looks To Snap Its Losing Streak
The Central Michigan Chippewas have been playing some terrible basketball lately as they have lost each of their last eight games including a six-point road loss against the Ball State Cardinals in their last game. In that game, Central Michigan's defense was useless as it allowed 97 points while letting the opposition shoot 55.9% from the floor and 48.1% from the three-point line. Now, Central Michigan will be looking to snap its losing streak with a conference home game up next. However, the Chippewas have lost 12 of their first 14 conference games as they have looked like a bottom feeder in the MAC all season long.
Leading the way offensively for Central Michigan this season is senior guardTravon Broadway Jr. who is averaging a team-high 17.9 points per game along with 5.4 rebounds per game. However, he has not played since February 6th due to injury and he is doubtful for this contest.

Central Michigan's most underrated player is junior guardMeikkel Murray who is averaging 14.5 points along with 5.8 rebounds per game. In addition, he is shooting 51.2% from the floor as he has been pretty efficient offensively up to this point.

Tuesday evening will feature one of the biggest college basketball games of the regular season when the No. 3 Baylor Bears visit the No. 6 West Virginia Mountaineers in Morgantown. Baylor is looking to regroup after its first loss of the season, a 71-58 defeat to the No. 13 Kansas Jayhawks as a 4.5-point road favorite on Saturday night to fall to 18-1 (10-1 Big 12). West Virginia is in second place in the conference at 17-6 (10-4 Big 12) after demolishing the Kansas State Wildcats 65-43 over the weekend as a 15.5-point home favorite.

These teams split two games last season with West Virginia pulling off a huge upset of the fourth-ranked Bears in March, but Baylor still leads 11-8 all-time.

Baylor's undefeated run comes to an end
College basketball's lone remaining undefeated team is the Gonzaga Bulldogs after Baylor struggled offensively in a 13-point loss at Kansas on Saturday night. The Bears played well early on with a 30-26 lead near the end of the first, but Kansas went on a 17-3 run spanning halftime, and Baylor's normally elite offense managed just 11 points in the final 10 minutes of the game as the Jayhawks ended up winning comfortably.

MaCio Teague led the Bears with 18 points and eight rebounds, while Davion Mitchell had 13 points. The Bears looked rusty offensively in just their second game in four weeks, shooting 34.8% from the field and 6/16 from the free throw line.

“Our guys, we didn’t quit. We had chances,” head coach Scott Drew said via the Associated Press. “It was down to five or seven, I thought we were right there. They drew a foul and I thought that was the turning point as far as our comeback.”

The Bears are also elite against the spread at 13-6, but haven't looked right in two games since coming off a lengthy COVID pause as they beat last-place Iowa State by just five as a 24-point favorite last week. Overs are 10-9 for the Bears, with the Kansas game going under the betting total to snap a streak of six straight overs.

Even with the poor showing against Kansas, the Bears are still fourth in the nation in scoring at 84.9 points per game on shooting splits of 54.1% from two and 42.1% from three, the best mark in college basketball. Baylor's defense ranks in the top 35 in scoring at 63.7 points per game allowed, with opponents shooting 47.7% from two and 32.1% from beyond the arc.

Jared Butler is an All-American candidate at 16.4 points, 4.9 assists and 2.3 steals per game on just shy of 50% shooting from the field. Three other Bears average at least 10.5 points per game, including Mitchell at 13.5 points and 5.6 assists per contest on 46.6% shooting from three.

Everyone was available for the Bears on Saturday and there shouldn't be any absences for the West Virginia game. It was recently reveled the Bears had as many as eight positive COVID tests during their three-week pause.

West Virginia crushes Kansas State
The Mountaineers figured to have no problems completing the season sweep over Kansas State over the weekend for their sixth win in seven games, and indeed led wire-to-wire over the Wildcats. West Virginia opened the game on a 15-6 run in the first 10 minutes, and later spurts of 12-2 and 17-0 extended the advantage as Kansas State scored just 21 points in the second half.

Sean McNeil led the Mountaineers with 16 points, while Derek Culver had 11 points and six rebounds. West Virginia's defense was in complete command, holding Kansas State to 29.4% from the field with 17 turnovers.

“I thought the second half we played pretty well. We were pretty efficient,” head coach Bob Huggins said to the Associated Press. “The first half was a miserable half for both teams.”

West Virginia is now 13-10 against the spread this season, and has covered in five of its last six games with the only loss coming by a point to the No. 16 Oklahoma Sooners in double overtime. Overs are a strong 15-8 for the Mountaineers, although each of their last two games have gone under the betting total.

The Mountaineers are inside the top 60 nationally in scoring at 77.1 points per game on shooting splits of 46.3% from two and 36.5% from three. Opponents are putting up 70.8 points per game against the Mountaineers while shooting 50.4% from two and 32.1% from beyond the arc.

Miles McBride is having an excellent season with 15.5 points and 4.6 assists per game on 42.9% shooting from three to lead the Mountaineers. Culver is averaging a double-double at 15 points and 10.1 rebounds per game, while Taz Sherman and McNeil are also in double figures scoring.

Starting forward Oscar Tshiebwe left the program in late December and is headed to Kentucky after averaging 8.5 points and 7.8 rebounds per game this season. Freshman forward Isaiah Cottrell injured his Achillies in December and will miss the rest of the season.

The Ohio Bobcats will be on the road in a regular season rematch against the Kent State Golden Flashes. The Bobcats could not hold off the Golden Flashes in their last constant as they lost by a score of 89-79. The Bobcats are 13-7 to this point of the year while they lost their last contest against Buffalo by 20 points. The Golden Flashes have won eight of their last ten games which has earned them a record of 15-6.

The Bobcats have posted a record of 11-7 ATS this season while their ability to put up big points has allowed them to achieve the over in 11 of 18 contest. The Golden Flashes have earned a record of 11-9 ATS as they have been a mirror image in the over/under as they are 11-9 in favor of the over.

Bobcats Looking to Bounce Back
The Ohio Bobcats were dominated by Buffalo the last time they touched the hardwood by a score of 86-66. The Bobcats have been good this year but inconsistency has killed them. They recently beat one of the best teams in the MAC in Akron by 17 points then come back and lose by 20 to Buffalo after beating them earlier in the year. Prior to the loss the Bobcats had won six games straight so there is no doubt they can take down the Golden Flashes even though they lost by 10 points in their previous meeting. The Bobcats are scoring as well as anyone this year with 79.6 points per contest while they have held opponents to 73.7 points. The Bobcats usually come out the gates hot as they are scoring 41.2 points in the second half alone which they rely on to jump on teams.
The Bobcats have gotten big time minutes from Guard Jason Preston who is doing it all with 15.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 7.6 assists per game. The last time these two met, Preston could not lead the Bobcats to victory even with 23 points on 8-14 attempts. Kent State will not go away easily and the Bobcats will need more than Preston to knock them off. Forward Dwight Wilson III is also putting up big numbers with 15.2 points and 7.3 rebounds but was held to only 9 points in the last meeting. If these two can get it going they will have a good chance to take down the Golden Flashes.

Golden Flashes Looking For Sweep
Kent State took down the Bobcats by 10 points earlier this season and will look to do the same this time out. The Golden Flashes have been scoring 77.2 points per game which is right under the Bobcats total but their defense has been holding teams to 71.4 points. The Golden Flashes will not be able to rely on their solid second half play as the Bobcats are putting up similar numbers, Kent State is scoring 41.1 points in the second half. The Golden Flashes will need to get an early lead as these two will clash in the second half as they both typically find their shot at that point. Kent State will need to win the battle on the boards with their 39.4 rebounds while they have been pulling down 11.3 of those on the offensive end.
The Golden Flashes have been relying on Forward Danny Pippen to get it done for them with 19.3 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. Pippen put up 22 points the last time out against the Bobcats and will need a similar performance to take down the Bobcats who will be hungry for revenge. The Golden Flashes have only lost one game this season when Pippen fails to reach his average of 19.3 points and that was a 2 point loss to the number one team (Toledo) in their conference. The odds are high if Pippen is able to knock down his shots and get it going.

The red hot Arkansas Razorbacks will head to Columbia, South Carolina to try and extend their win streak to seven. After dropping four of five games and falling to 2-4 in SEC play, the Razorbacks have won nine straight SEC games, including pivotal wins over Florida, Alabama, and LSU.

It's been a tough season for the South Carolina Gamecocks. This team has been forced to go on pause twice due to COVID-19 complications and the team hasn't had a chance to gel. Starting center Alonzo Frink opted out of the season and only two players have participated in every game this season. Nevertheless, this team is coming off a 21-point road victory against Georgia as they look for their first two-game win streak since early January.

Going for SEC Title
While it's a stretch for Arkansas to win a share of the SEC title, it's still possible if they win out and Alabama loses out. Arkansas also had to fend off Florida from overtaking their #2 spot in the conference standings, so this team should have the right mindset going into the last week of conference play. The Razorbacks have been a cover machine. They are 15-7 ATS overall and 11-4 ATS in conference play.
Arkansas comes in with the 33rd ranked offense according to KenPom. Their offense is 126th in field goal percentage, 55th in ball control, 52nd in rebounding, and 80th in free-throw percentage. On the defensive side of the ball, this is the 13th ranked unit. They are 61st in field goal percentage, 60th in steal rate, 75th in three-point percentage allowed, and 84th in two-point percentage allowed.

Moses Moody is the star of this team. He averages 16.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, and a steal per game. JD Notae contributes 12.7 points, 3 rebounds, and 1.2 steals, and Justin Smith adds 12.1 points with 6.9 rebounds.

Defending Home Court
The Gamecocks are usually a terrific home team. However, this year this has not been the case as they are just 3-5 at home. Players sitting out due to contract tracing as well as health issues have been a big issue for the Gamecocks, but they haven't had any issues since mid-January. South Carolina plays at the fifth-fastest pace in the nation. The problem for them is that they're allowing 77.4 points per game, while only producing 73.7 on the offensive end.
South Carolina has the 122nd ranked offense. This team ranks 200th or worse in every offensive category outside of rebounding where they rank 38th. Free-throw shooting has been a big issue, shooting just 66.1% which is 307th in the country. On the defensive side of the ball, this is the 84th ranked unit. However, just like on offense, they rank 200th or worse in nearly every category. Where they thrive is turning their opponent over, ranking 27th in this category.

AJ Lawson leads the Gamecocks with 17.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.6 steals per game. Keyshawn Bryant contributes 14.4 points with 5.3 rebounds and Jermaine Cousinard adds 10.2 points, 3 rebounds, and 3.3 assists.

The Mid-American Conference regular season is winding down as the top eight MAC teams prepare for the upcoming MAC Tournament starting on March 11th. On Tuesday evening, the Ball St. Cardinals and Eastern Michigan Eagles face off at the Worthen Arena in Muncie, Indiana. Coming into the game, Ball St. is eighth place in the conference at 7-8 (9-11 overall) while Eastern Michigan is 10th in the conference at 2-10 (5-11). Both teams are coming off wins on Saturday with Ball St. beating CMU 97-91 on Saturday and Eastern Michigan taking out NIU 91-57.

Can Ball St. Keep its Offense Rolling?
After beating Kent St. and CMU over their last two games, the Cardinals have to feel confident coming into this game, especially with that win over Kent St., who are currently tied for second place in the MAC. On the year, the Cardinals are only 6-4 at home but since this will be their final home game of the season, they’ll be motivated to grab a W. In their favor is the fact that they’re facing an EMU squad that is 0-7 on the road on the season. Ball St. has also won the last three meetings against the Eagles, including three in a row ATS.
Ball St. had a heck of a week on offense last week, averaging 93.5 points on 55% shooting over their last two game. Part of that started with guard Jarron Coleman, who became the first Ball St. this year to win the MAC Player of the Week Award. He averaged 25 points and six assists in their two victories last week, but that was not even the most impressive offensive performance of the week. Those bragging rights go to guard Ismael El-Amin who dropped 33 points on 10-17 shooting versus CMU.

EMU Out of the MAC Tournament
This is their second to last game of the season and, unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done for the Eagles to make it into the MAC Tournament as this year’s modification allows only the top eight teams to get in. They can’t even play spoiler since Ball St. has already locked up eighth place in the MAC. Prior to beating NIU, a team that has only won two games overall this season, the Eagles had lost seven straight games so this just has not been a good season for them.
Be that as it may, EMU has proven they can put up points as evidenced by their 71.1 points per game average as well as dropping 91 on NIU on Saturday. Guard Noah Morgan put up a season high 22 points while Yeikson Montero added another 20 and Ty Groce had a double double with 15 points and 10 boards. One thing EMU does well on offense is shoot effectively from the FT line, averaging 76.2% on the season, good for 31st in the nation. On the other hand, they are not so hot ATS this season, going 4-9 overall.

Redhawks fall back to 0.500 in conference play
Season form

Dae Dae Grant has led the scoring for the Redhawks this season, with 13.5 points per game in close to 30 minutes at a field goal percentage of 41%. The passing has been led by Mekhi Lairy, who has managed 3.3 assists per game.

The Redhawks have managed to score as many as they concede. They have scored an average of 72.2 points per game, 178th in the country. Defensively, they have allowed 71.1 points a game.

Bowling Green continue to impress with four-game winning run
Season form
The Falcons have been excellent in non-conference play but they are still sixth in the MAC standings despite owning a 14-9 season record. They are 10-7 in MAC play, and have won their last four games, including an 83-71 win against Akron in the previous game.

As reported by AP: Justin Turner had 19 points and six rebounds as Bowling Green topped Akron 83-71 on Friday night. Kaden Metheny had 15 points for Bowling Green (14-9, 10-7 Mid-American Conference), which earned its fourth straight win. Caleb Fields added 13 points.

The Falcons have built their success around their offense, which averages 79 points per game, 42nd in the country. They have also allowed just 75.1 points per game, which gives them a handy points differential in their games.

Two arch rivals will collide on Tuesday when the Auburn Tigers travel to Mobile and take on the Alabama Crimson Tide. Both teams need wins here for very different reasons. Alabama clinches the regular season SEC championship with a win, while a win here would drastically help Auburn's Bubble case.

Dubbed the "Iron Bowl" on the gridiron, these two programs also have an extended history on the hardwood, meeting over 150 times. Alabama leads the all-time series 96-59, and they won the previous meeting 94-90.

It's A Must-Win For Auburn
There's a lot of pressure on Auburn (12-13, 6-10) heading into this game. A win here keeps them in Bubble territory with a respectable resume. A loss here and a pedestrian showing in the SEC tournament may signal the end of a season that had so much potential. After starting 6-2, they stumbled into SEC play and lost four straight games. Inconsistency has hounded Bruce Pearl's team, and they've struggled to close out games, losing six games by six points or less.
They are arguably coming off of their biggest win of the season, and their timing couldn't have been any better. They average an impressive 77.9 points per game, and they're headlined by potential lottery pick Sharife Cooper. The freshman guard joined the Tigers midseason, and immediately took their offensive to a new level. He leads the team in points (20.2) and assists (8.1), which is tied for second in the nation.

Allen Flanigan and Jamal Johnson join him in the backcourt. Flanigan is second on the team in scoring (14.2), leads the team in rebounding (5.4), and he's coming off of a 23-point performance in the win over Tennessee. Jaylin Williams and JT Thor are the starters up front. They both average 4.8 rebounds per game, and they both average over a block per game.

Alabama Inching Closer to SEC Title
After losing on the road to Arkansas last week, Alabama (19-6, 14-2) responded with a tough win at Mississippi State to inch closer to their first SEC title in nineteen years. The Crimson Tide have the look of a one-seed and an impressive showing in the SEC tournament may just garner them one. They boast a decent non-conference resume and they've defeated just about every quality team in the conference, including sweeps of LSU and Kentucky.
Alabama is one of the most talented teams in the country offensively, averaging 79.6 points per game, good for 30th in the nation. They're led by a talented trio in the backcourt. Sophomore guard Jaden Shackelford is a crafty scorer who leads the team in scoring at 14.1 points per game. John Petty Jr. is a physical guard, who averages 12.8 points per game, leads the Tide in minutes (31.3) and can take away an opponent's best player. Villanova transfer Jahvon Quinerly is their best shooter. He scores 12.1 points per game, he leads the team in three point percentage (45.2) and he's hit three or more three pointers in each of the past five games.

Herbert Jones may be the best swiss army knife in the country. Along with averaging 11.1 points per game, Jones leads 'Bama in rebounding (6.1), assists (3.2) and steals (1.8). He's coming off a 14-rebound performance in the win over Mississippi State, and he's flirted with triple-doubles throughout the season. He's capable of guarding positions 1-5, and he's got a future in the NBA. Yale transfer Jordan Bruner joins him up front, and he scored 20 points in the win over Auburn earlier this season.

XAVIER MUSKETEERS VS. GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY HOYAS
The Xavier Musketeers and the Georgetown University Hoyas will both be gunning for a victory on Tuesday when they meet at McDonough Arena.

Oddsmakers opened the Musketeers as -1-point favorites versus the Hoyas, while the game's total opened at 144.5.

In their last action, Georgetown University was a 68-60 winner on the road against Blue Demons. They covered the -3.5-point spread as favorites.

Xavier won its last outing, a 77-69 result against Bluejays on February 27. They covered in that game as a +4-point underdog.

The Musketeers broke through with a terrific home win over Creighton this weekend. They had lost three of their last four before this victory and just recently lost guard Nate Johnson for the season. In Xavier's win over Creighton, they shot a staggering 66% from inside the arc and assisted on 22 field goals.

Just before Georgetown's game against DePaul on Saturday, news broke that star point guard Jahvon Blair was not going to play due to a coach's decision. Nonetheless, the Hoyas responded with an eight-point victory over DePaul, giving them their third win in their last four games.

Winning on the Road
Xavier has been a terrific home team this season, posting an 11-2 record. However, on the road, they are just 2-3 with their closest loss being by five points. The Musketeers haven't had a chance to play a lot of conference games which is why they've been at home for much of the season. In their first game without Nate Johnson, Xavier was blown out by 15 and allowed 83 points. Most recently, they upset Creighton behind 23 points from Paul Scruggs.
The Musketeers rank 44th in offensive efficiency. They are 54th in field goal percentage, 30th in ball control, 24th in two-point percentage, and 56th in preventing blocks. On the defensive side of the ball, this is the 70th ranked unit. They are 54th in field goal percentage, ninth in preventing free-throw attempts, 30th in two-point defense, and 61st in block rate.

Zach Freemantle leads the Musketeers with 16.9 points and 9 rebounds. Paul Scruggs contributes 14.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 6.1 assists. Colby Jones adds 7.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists.

Continuing Great Play
We saw this team respond to Patrick Ewing benching their star player by coming away with a win and now we will see if they can carry this momentum into this contest. The Hoyas started the season 3-8 and 1-5 in conference play. Since then, they are 5-3 and have covered the spread in six of these games. I'm not exactly sure what clicked for this team, but it's interesting how it all happened right after their COVID-19 pause of 21 days. A switch flipped and this team could potentially make a run in the conference tournament.
The Hoyas' offense relies on three-point shooting, free-throws, and rebounding. While they are 118th in offensive efficiency, they are 50th in rebounding, 63rd in three-point percentage, and 41st in free-throw percentage. On defense, this is the 80th ranked unit. They are 110th in field goal percentage, 83rd in two-point percentage, and 64th in block rate.

Jahvon Blair is the clear leader of this team. He averages 15.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4.3 assists. Jamorko Pickett adds 12.6 points with 8 rebounds and Qudus Wahab contributes 11.8 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks.

TULSA GOLDEN HURRICANE VS. CENTRAL FLORIDA KNIGHTS

The Tulsa Golden Hurricane will look to avenge last month's loss to the UCF Golden Knights in their rematch Tuesday night. Although the Big Dance is looking unlikely for both programs, a win here for Tulsa could merit a spot in the NIT.

Tulsa leads the all-time series 12-10, but UCF won the previous meeting, 65-58.

Tulsa Looking to Finish Over .500
Tulsa (10-10, 7-8) got off to an inspiring 8-4 start, that included a win over Houston and an early sweep of Memphis. They almost cracked the AP Top 25 Pool for the first time since 2002, but since then the Golden Hurricane have loss seven of their last nine games, including three straight home games. They average 66.4 points per game, and they rank 43rd in the nation defensively, allowing 64.2 points per game.
Tulsa is led by an experienced backcourt. Senior guard Brandon Rachal is leading the team in scoring (14.6) and rebounding (6.7), and he's been the heartbeat of this Golden Hurricane team. Rachal struggled in the previous meeting, but he scored 22 in the big win over Houston.

Rachal's running mates are senior guards Elijah Joiner and Darien Jackson. Joiner leads the team in assists, and has put up double figures in seven of the last nine games, scoring 14 in the loss to UCF. Jackson may be the team's best on-ball defender, and has shown the ability to knock down timely shots. Illinois State transfer Rey Idowu supplies size, averages 8.4 points per game, and keeps these Tulsa guards clean.

Golden Knights Eyeing Sweep of the Golden Hurricane
UCF (8-11, 6-10) has have been a mystery this season. After a 3-1 start, that included wins over Auburn, Florida State, and Cincinnati themselves, Central Florida's play has been iffy since American Conference play has begun. UCF had dropped nine of their next eleven games, before winning three of the last four.
They're led by senior guards Darius Perry and Brandon Mahan. Perry transferred over from Louisville and has come in and led the team in scoring (14.2) and assists (2.9). He had a career high of 27 and the loss to Wichita State. The Golden Knights will need him to bring the same energy against Tulsa's tough defense. Mahan averages 13.1 points per game, and leads the team in three point percentage (44.3).

Forwards C.J. Walker and Isaiah Adams man the frontcourt. Walker leads the team in rebounding (5.1) and he's scored double figures in each of the last three games. Adams averages 9.2 points per game, and he's comig off of a career high 26 points in the win over Tulane. Sophomore guard Darin Green Jr. is third on the team in scoring (11.4).

A pair of top five teams will clash in a massive Big Ten matchup on Tuesday night when the No. 4 Illinois Fighting Illini visit the No. 2 Michigan Wolverines in Ann Arbor. Illinois is in the hunt for a No. 1 seed at 18-6 overall (14-4 Big Ten) after picking up a 74-69 road win over the No. 25 Wisconsin Badgers without star Ayo Dosunmu on Saturday as a 4.5-point underdog. Michigan continued its dominant season with a 73-57 victory over the Indiana Hoosiers as a seven-point road favorite over the weekend, and is now 18-1 overall (13-1 Big Ten).

This is a tight all-time series, with Illinois narrowly leading 64-63 after sweeping a pair of games last season.

Illinois wins without star guard
Down its best player, Illinois still managed to get a nice road win on Saturday over Wisconsin and is now in sole possession of second place in the Big Ten standings. The Fighting Illini were in control for much of the game with a lead as large as 14 before Wisconsin's D'Mitrik Trice went supernova by scoring a remarkable 19 points in the final 2:12, but Illinois went 8/8 from the free throw line in the last minute.

Kofi Cockburn led the Fighting Illini with 19 points and seven rebounds, while Andre Curbelo took advantage of his increased opportunity with 17 points and seven rebounds. The Fighting Illini shot a strong 52.1% from the floor and held Wisconsin to 34.8% to help overcome turning the ball over 20 times.

“You just got to make sure you do your job at your end,” head coach Brad Underwood said to the Associated Press. “And we did with our last five field goals and our last 10 free throws – and a lot of prayer. I could not be prouder of this group of guys and their toughness and ability to step up."

Illinois improves to a strong 14-9-1 against the spread and has covered in three of its last four games, with the only loss coming in an upset defeat to Michigan State last week. Overs are also 14-9-1 for the Fighting Illini, and each of their last four games have gone over the betting total.

The Fighting Illini are 17th nationally in scoring at 81.2 points per game on shooting splits of 55.7% from two and 38.1% from three, both of which rank 26th or better. Opponents are scoring 69.2 points per game against Illinois on 45.1% shooting from two and 33.2% from beyond the arc.

Dosunmu is in the National Player of the Year discussion with 21 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game to lead the Fighting Illini. Cockburn is also having a dominant season with an average of 17.7 points, 9.9 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game on 66.8% shooting from the field.

The status of Illinois' star will be huge heading into Tuesday, as Dosunmu has missed the last two games with a broken nose and remains day-to-day. JUCO transfer Austin Hutcherson will not play this season due to a back injury. Bench players Edgar Padilla Jr. (undisclosed) and Zach Griffith (foot) have also been out and remain questionable.

Michigan rolls to another dominant victory
Coming off a pair of impressive wins over top 10 foes Iowa and Ohio State, Michigan didn't miss a beat on Saturday with a thorough dismantling of Indiana in Assembly Hall. The Hoosiers never led after the 15 minute mark of the first half as Michigan was in command following a 10-0 run, and the lead was extended further in the second as Indiana scored only 10 points in the final 10 minutes.

Franz Wagner led the Wolverines with 21 points on 6/9 shooting from the field, while Isaiah Livers recorded a double-double at 16 points and 10 rebounds. Michigan's defense was dominant in the second half with Indiana shooting just 38.5% from the field for the game, and the Wolverines had a big advantage at the free throw line going 17/19.

“Today’s emphasis was energy,” head coach Juwan Howard said to the Associated Press. “We knew we weren’t going to walk in here and just get a win. I knew Indiana would be prepared and they would come out with great energy. But we emphasized that we had to be ready from the jump ball and they were ready from the jump ball.”

Michigan has been one of the best teams in the nation against the spread at 15-4 including covering in six of its last seven games, with the only defeat coming on a garbage time buzzer beater against Rutgers. Overs are 8-11 for the Wolverines this season, with five of their last six games going under the betting total.

The Wolverines have a strong argument as being the most balanced team in the nation, ranking 38th in scoring offense at 78.8 points per game on shooting splits of 55.4% from two and 39% from three, both of which rank 31st or better. Michigan is 55th in scoring defense at 65.2 points per game allowed with opponents shooting 41.3% from two, the second-best mark in the nation, and 32.7% from beyond the arc.

Freshman Hunter Dickinson is already one of the best players in college basketball, averaging 14.8 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game on 62.1% shooting from the floor. Livers is also having an outstanding year at 14.5 points and 6.2 rebounds per game while shooting 45.6% from three, while Mike Smith is one of the top distributors in the Big Ten at 5.2 assists per contest.

Michigan has been fairly healthy all season, and doesn't expect to have any absences for Tuesday's game.

Offense Does Not Come Through
On the season Boise State has had a solid offense averaging 76.5 ppg but in the two losses to SDSU, which were both on the road, they only scored 66 points and 58 points respectively. In the last game they lost 62-58 where the Broncos played solid D holding the Aztecs to 39.7% shooting but they only shot 35.2%.
Guard Derrick Alston Jr. (17.7 ppg) leads three players averaging in double figures and after averaging 26.3 ppg for four games he only had seven points on 16.7% shooting in the last game where he missed eight of his nine 3-pointers. FW Abu Kigab (12 ppg 5.5 rpg) only had one point in the last loss to SDSU while only going for five points in the first game facing them. Guard Marcus Shaver Jr. (10.7 ppg) had 13 points on 50% shooting in the last game after only totaling two points in his previous two games.

In a late-season matchup between Big 12 teams, 15th-ranked Texas travels to Ames to take on Iowa State Tuesday night. The Longhorns are in prime position for the postseason at 14-7 overall and 8-6 in the hotly contested Big 12, and are looking for more wins to build momentum into the Big 12 Tournament. The Cyclones however, have had one of their worst seasons in recent memory, and are just 2-18 overall and have yet to win a conference game at 0-15 in the Big 12. Tuesday is their senior night, so perhaps they can put together an upset performance in their final home game of the year.

Longhorns right in the thick of things late in the year
Texas must avoid a letdown in taking on the lowly Cyclones on the road, as they were in a dogfight last time they played in a game that Texas eventually won by just a six-point margin. Having been a tad inconsistent as of late, the Longhorns must use Tuesday’s game to get things right and soar to their 15th win of the year. There aren’t many concerns as to if they will make the tournament, as they seem like a lock, but they must finish the season strong in order to have momentum going into the postseason.

The last time they played earlier in the year, Andrew Jones was sensational on the offensive end with 23 points and all five starters finished in double-figures, but their bench was virtually nonexistent and managed just seven points in total. Their depth was clearly an issue, and it nearly cost them, as Iowa State came out ready for them, and nearly pulled the upset. The Longhorns will now try to avoid an upset once again, this time on the road, as they head to Iowa State on Tuesday.

Cyclones were shredded on the boards last time around, must be better on their senior night
When these two teams last met back on January 5th in Austin, the Cyclones were in the game the entire way, giving Texas all they asked for and eventually losing a close game 78-72. In that game, they were dominated on the glass, and although they are at a size disadvantage against a lengthy Texas team, they must display maximum effort on the boards and go blow for blow with the Longhorns if they want to pull the upset on their senior night.
It has been a brutal season for the Cyclones, who have yet to win a Big 12 game, and have not won a single game in the year 2021, having lost their last 14 in a row. With their season now coming to a close, they must rely on their offense led by Javan Johnson, who had 21 points in the last game against Texas, to be able to finally pull one out before season’s end. They Cyclones outshot the Longhorns last time around, but only managed four offensive rebounds, which must be better if they have a chance at winning their final home game of the season.

The Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons will travel to the Wolstein Center on Tuesday evening to take on the Cleveland State Vikings in one of the quarterfinals of the Horizon League Championship Tournament. These teams are very familiar with one another as they faced off four times in the regular season with the Vikings winning three of the games, but the Vikings won both games at home. They last faced off on Feb 20 where the Cleveland State Vikings went on a 45-25 second-half run to win 67-55 on the road. The Mastodons are the 10th-seed in the bracket after defeating the 7th-seed Green Bay Phoenix 89-84 in a double overtime classic on Thursday to advance to the quarterfinals. The Mastodons are 8-14 with a 6-14 conference record while the Vikings are 16-7 with a 16-4 conference record as the top seed in the tournament.

These teams are similar on the offensive side of the floor so it will be interesting to see which team can take control defensively, especially after seeing so much of one another. Let’s take a deeper dive into these programs to decide where we should be placing our wagers.

Godfrey Leads the Team
The Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons have depended on junior guard Jarred Godfrey to lead the offense this year. He is averaging 15.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.5 steals in 33 minutes per game. He’s shooting 47.1 percent from the field, 36.7 percent from beyond the arc, and 82.9 percent from the charity stripe. In his last game against the Phoenix, Godfrey played 48 minutes and finished with 18 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and a steal. If he can have his hand in everything like he did in his last game, the Mastodons have a chance to pull off the upset.

The Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons have been struggling on defense this season as they are giving up 77.3 points per game. In their last game against the Green Bay Phoenix, they allowed 84 points on 31-of-64 (48.4 percent) from the floor, 4-of-14 (28.6 percent) from the three-point line, and 25 free-throws. If they can defend without fouling, they will be in a way better position in this upcoming game.

Guard Up
The Cleveland State Vikings have depended on senior guard Torrey Patton to lead the offense this year. He is averaging 14 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and a steal in 31 minutes per game. He’s shooting pretty well as he is 46.1 percent from the field, 29.9 percent from beyond the arc, and 63.3 percent from the free-throw line. In his last game against the Mastodons, Patton played 37 minutes and finished with 16 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists. If he can figure out how to repeat this performance, the Vikings should be in a very good place.
The Cleveland State Vikings have been decent on defense this season as they are giving up 69.4 points per game. In their last game against the Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons, they allowed 55 points on 20-of-44 (45.5 percent) from the floor, 10-of-25 (40 percent) from the three-point line, and 10 free-throws. If they want to continue improving defensively, they need to stop allowing open looks from the basket.

The Indiana Hoosiers (12-12, 7-10 Big Ten) come into tonight’s game on a three game losing streak, having lost four of their last five games. One of those losses was to Michigan State (13-10, 7-10 Big Ten) 10 days ago in Bloomington. The Spartans won that matchup 78-71 behind a strong second half performance.

In that win, the Spartans scored 52 points in the second half, and the Spartan bench outscored Indiana’s 34-5. The Hoosiers hit just 21.1% from beyond the arc in the game. Aaron Henry led the Spartans with 27 points and five rebounds. Josh Langford added 14 points, six rebounds, and five assists. Gabe Brown scored 14 points and grabbed four rebounds off the bench. Trayce Jackson-Davis led the Hoosiers with 34 points and nine rebounds, while Race Thompson added 15 points and Armaan Franklin scored 13 points and grabbed five rebounds.

Since that game, Michigan State got hot. However, their last game was a dud as they dropped a 73-55 decision to Maryland. The Spartans hit just 8-of-28 three point attempts, and scored only four fast break points in the loss. Joshua Langford led Sparty with 12 points, while Aaron Henry and Joey Houser each scored 11. That trio finished the game a combined 7-of-29 from the field.

Indiana is also coming off a loss, albeit to Big Ten leader Michigan. The Hoosiers trailed by just one point 12 minutes into the game, but Michigan went on one of their patented runs to close out the first half. The game was never close after that. Aljami Durham led Indiana with 15 points, and Race Thompson added 11 points and six rebounds.

The Spartans have opened as a slight 3.5 favorite at home. This will be an interesting game as Indiana is slumping right now. However, they have the ability and the talent to get the win.

Hoosiers Look to Turn Things Around On the Road
Indiana was on a roll until they ran into a disappointing loss to Michigan State 10 days ago. Since then, Indiana lost to Rutgers and then Michigan. With just the Spartans and Purdue left on the schedule, now is the time for Indiana to turn it up and get hot going into the conference tournament. They are certainly capable of doing so, and it starts tonight on the road.
The Hoosiers rank fifth in points scored (70.8 ppg), seventh in field goal percent (43.4%), ninth in two point field goal percent (47.3%), and fifth in three point field goal percent (35.2%). Their attacking style has resulted in an average of 22.6 trips to the free throw line per game, which is the second most in the conference.

The Hoosiers are led 6’9 forward Trayce Jackson-Davis, who has been a tough matchup for everyone in the conference. He has averaged 19.8 ppg and 9.3 rpg, and owned Aaron Henry and Joey Houser (34 points) the last time the two teams played. Armaan Franklin has averaged 11.6 ppg and 4.2 rpg while shooting 45.0% from beyond the arc. Aljami Durham joins Jackson-Davis and Franklin in averaging double figures with 11.6 ppg while hitting 39.3% of his three point attempts.

Defensively, the Hoosiers rank 10th in the Big Ten in points allowed (73.8), 11th in opponent’s field goal percent (45.0%), eighth in opponent’s two point field goal percent (49.8%), and 14th in three point field goal percent defense (37.0%). The Hoosiers are also foul prone, allowing opponents 19.2 free throw attempts per game (9th).

Michigan State Looks To Bounce Back From Maryland Loss and Earn Sweep of Indiana
The last time Michigan State faced Indiana, they were staring down a tough stretch of games. The Spartans ended up taking care of business against Indiana, then went on to defeat Illinois and Ohio State before the Maryland loss. After Indiana, all Michigan State has left is two games with Michigan, the top team in the conference.

The offense has been the biggest issue for the Spartans this season. The Spartans are 12th in the Big Ten in scoring offense (66.2 ppg), but have trended up in recent games. Michigan State is 10th in field goal percent (41.1%), 10th in two point field goal percentage (45.7%), and 12th in three point field goal percentage (31.8%). The Spartans also rank sixth in the Big 10 in trips to the free throw line (18.1). Complicating matters has been turnovers. The Spartans average 12.9 turnovers per game.

The offense is led by Aaron Henry, who has averaged 15.3 ppg, 5.5 rpg and 3.5 apg. The biggest knock on Henry is his turnovers, which he averages 3.0 per game. Big man Joey Hauser’s offensive production has tailed off as Michigan State has gotten deeper into Big 10 play. Houser is now averaging 10.2 ppg and 6.0 rebounds per game, but is a 35.4% three point shooter. Joshua Langford has averaged 9.9 ppg while shooting 36.6% from beyond the arc.

Defensively, the Spartans rank eighth in the Big Ten in points allowed (71.2 pppg), 10th in opponent’s field goal percent (43.8%), and eleventh in opponent’s two point field goal percent (50.3%). Michigan State does a good job on the perimeter, where they have limited opponents to a 30.6% shooting percentage (3rd). However, the Spartans are foul prone, allowing opponents 22.4 free throw attempts per game (most in the Big 10).

VANDERBILT COMMODORES VS. LSU TIGERS

Oddsmakers opened the Tigers as -11.5-point favorites versus the Commodores, while the game's total opened at 158.

LSU was a 83-75 loser in its last match on the road against Razorbacks. They failed to cover the +6-point spread as underdogs.

Two SEC teams will face off against each other on Tuesday as the Vanderbilt Commodores travel to the Pete Maravich Assembly Center to take on the LSU Tigers. Vanderbilt enters this game with a 7-13 record after beating Ole Miss at home by five points in its last game while LSU enters this game with a 14-8 record after losing to Arkansas on the road by eight points in its last game. This game will start at 8:30 P.M. EST.

Vanderbilt Looks For A Rare Conference Win
The Vanderbilt Commodores have been struggling all season long as they have lost 13 of their first 20 games. On the bright side, Vanderbilt does enter this game on a high note after defeating Ole Miss at home by five points in its last game. In that game, Vanderbilt's offense was great as it scored 75 points while shooting 53.1% from the floor and 47.8% from the three-point line. Now, Vanderbilt will be looking for another conference victory on Tuesday. However, the Commodores have lost 11 of their first 14 conference games as they have been arguably the worst team in the SEC.
Leading the way offensively for Vanderbilt this season is sophomore guard Scotty Pippen Jr. who is averaging a team-high 20.5 points per game along with a team-high 5.2 assists per game. However, he is currently dealing with a hip injury so he is questionable for this contest.

Vanderbilt's most underrated player is sophomore forward Dylan Disu who is averaging 15.0 points along with a team-high 9.2 rebounds per game. However, he suffered a serious knee injury which will cause him to miss the remainder of the regular season.

LSU Looks To Get Back On Track
The LSU Tigers enter this game in a bit of a slump as they have lost each of their last two games including an eight-point road loss against the Arkansas Razorbacks in their last game. In that game, LSU's defense was terrible as it allowed 83 points while letting the opposition attempt 31 free throws. Now, LSU will be looking to get back to its winning ways with a home game up next. Luckily, the Tigers have won 10 of their first 12 home games this season as they have looked extremely comfortable at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center up to this point.
Leading the Tigers offensively is freshman guard Cameron Thomas who is averaging a team-high 22.8 points per game along with 3.1 rebounds per game. However, he is also shooting just 29.9% from the three-point line as he has struggled from behind the arc.

LSU's most underrated player is junior guard Ja'Vonte Smart who is averaging 16.1 points per game along with a team-high 4.1 assists per game. In addition, he is averaging 1.2 steals per game as he has been very active on both sides of the ball up to this point.

KENTUCKY WILDCATS VS. MISSISSIPPI REBELS
The Kentucky Wildcats and the Mississippi Rebels will both be trying to pick up a win on Tuesday when they battle at The Pavilion at Ole Miss.

Oddsmakers opened the Rebels as -1-point favorites versus the Wildcats, while the game's total opened at 128.5.

Mississippi was a 75-70 loser in its last match on the road against Commodores. They failed to cover the -10-point spread as favorites.

The Kentucky Wildcats will travel to The Pavilion at Ole Miss on Tuesday night to take on the Rebels in each of their penultimate game of the regular season. This will be the only time they will meet in the regular season so they have no prior experience against each other this year, even though they are both in the SEC. The Wildcats are eighth in the SEC with an 8-14 record with a 7-8 conference record. They are coming off a 71-67 loss to the Florida Gators on Saturday. The Rebels are sixth in the SEC with a 13-10 record and an 8-8 conference record. They are coming off a road loss against Vanderbilt on Saturday 75-70.

These offenses have played very similarly throughout the regular season so it will be interesting to see which defense is able to get a few key stops down the stretch. Let’s take a deeper dive into the matchup to decide where we should be placing our wagers.

Young Blood
The Kentucky Wildcats have been relying on the production out of their freshman guard Brandon Boston Jr this season. On the season he is averaging 12 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.2 blocks, and 1.4 steals in 30.5 minutes per game. He is struggling shooting the ball as he is 36 percent from the floor, 27.7 percent from beyond the arc, and 80.6 percent from the free-throw line. In his last game against the Gators, Boston Jr played 32 minutes and finished with 13 points, three rebounds, and one assist. If he can be more productive in this game, it will do wonders for the Wildcats in this game.
The Kentucky Wildcats have been a subpar defense up to this point on the season as they are giving up 70.3 points per game. In their last game against the Florida Gators, they allowed 71 points on 25-of-48 (52.1 percent) from the floor, 7-of-15 (46.7 percent) from beyond the arc, and 16 free-throw attempts. If they can step up on the defensive end and not give shooters a good look at the basket, these numbers should fall.

Seniority Matters
The Ole Miss Rebels lean a lot of the offensive focus on senior guard Devontae Shuler. He is averaging 16 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.6 steals in 33.2 minutes on the floor. He is shooting alright as he is 40.7 percent from the floor, 33.8 percent from beyond the arc, and 78.1 percent from the charity stripe. In his last game against the Commodores, Shuler played 37 minutes and finished with 25 points, three rebounds, two assists, and a steal. If he can figure out how to replicate this performance, it’ll be great for the Rebels.

The Ole Miss Rebels have been playing alright on the defensive side of the ball this season as they are giving up 63.9 points. In their last game against the Vanderbilt Commodores, they allowed 75 points on 26-of-49 (53.1 percent) from the floor, 11-of-23 (47.8 percent) from beyond the arc, and 18 free-throw attempts. If the Rebels can figure out how to defend open shots in this game, they will be solid here.

WISCONSIN BADGERS VS. PURDUE BOILERMAKERS
The Wisconsin Badgers and the Purdue Boilermakers will both be trying to pick up a win on Tuesday when they battle at Mackey Arena.

Oddsmakers opened the Boilermakers as -1-point favorites versus the Badgers, while the game's total opened at 128.5.

Purdue was a 73-52 winner in its last match on the road against Nittany Lions. They covered the +1.5-point spread as underdogs.

The #25 Wisconsin Badgers will be on the road against the #23 Purdue Boilermakers who has been giving teams in the Big Ten problems all season long. The Badgers have dropped two spots in the rankings as they lost their last game against Illinois by a score of 74-69. The Badgers are currently 16-9 on the season and will look to move up in the rankings with a win against the Boilermakers. Purdue has won their last three games by an average of 16 points per contest as they are 16-8 on the year.

The Badgers have not been as good against the odds this season as they are 11-14 ATS this season while their ability to keep games rather low in scoring has led to them posting a record of 11-14 in favor of the under. The Boilermakers have split the spread and the over/under down the middle as they are 12-12 in both departments this season.

Badgers Looking For Big Win
The Wisconsin Badgers have played tough this season but the talent inside the Big Ten has gotten the better of them this year as they fall back in the rankings once again. If they are unable to pull off the win against Purdue they could very well be pushed outside of the top 25. The Badgers are not a great offensive team with only 69.8 points per game but their ability to hold teams to only 63.2 points per contest has allowed them to be successful. Their defense has held opposing teams to 27.6 first half points this season which does not help much considering they are only scoring right at 33 points in the first half. The Badgers do not give opposing teams to many chances to run the court on them as they are the best team in the country when it comes to taking care of the basketball with only 9.0 turnovers per game.
The Badgers have been led by Guard D'Mitrik Trice who is producing 14.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game. The Badgers cannot rely on Trice to do it all if they expect to win, 5 of their 9 losses this season have came when Trice is scoring over his average and typically well over. Meaning, when Trice has to find a way to produce and take up a majority of the shots they usually lose. The Badgers have to let the baskets come naturally to him while someone else hits some shots along the way.

Purdue Catching Fire Late
The Purdue Boilermakers have picked the right time to get hot as the season is coming to the end and they have splurged into the top 25 as they have moved up 5 rankings since last week. The Boilermakers have won their last three games by an average 16 point margin. Purdue plays a similar style of basketball to the Badgers but they perform just a little better on the offensive end with 70.9 points per game. Their defense is strong while they are allowing giving up 65.7 points per contest. The Boilermakers do not shoot the deep ball as well and have been giving up 8.2 made three pointers which could pose a problem as the Badgers are hitting 8.5 three's on the regular. Purdue will look to lean on their huge rebounding advantage in this one as they are grabbing 37.8 boards a game, a few of those on the offensive end could help them overcome the Badgers.
The Boilermakers are led by Forward Trevion Williams who is filling up the stat book with 15.8 points and 9.0 rebounds. Not to mention he is doing that with only 25.1 minutes per game which is almost the lowest amount of minutes for any of the five starters on this team. Williams has played 30 minutes or more in only four games this season, in those games he is averaging 22.5 points while the Boilermakers have only lost once. If Williams is ready to go then the Boilermakers need to have him on the floor as much as possible as he is putting up huge numbers and could be a deciding factor against the Badgers.

The Memphis Tigers and South Florida Bulls get set to face off in an American Athletic Conference clash Tuesday evening although both are coming into the game in opposite directions. Memphis is coming off a win against conference opponent Cincinnati who they beat on Sunday afternoon, 80-74, and covering the -3 spread. South Florida got obliterated by Houston on Sunday to the tune of 98-52 in a game where getting 18.5 points still wasn’t nearly enough to cover.

Memphis is Hot
Memphis is playing great basketball at the right time, winning five in a row and giving themselves a chance to possibly get the #1 seed in the AAE Tournament starting on March 10th in Frisco, Texas. This is a team that has also won eight of their last 10 games, including a victory over Wichita St., currently in first place in AAC. More impressive still is the fact that the Tigers have gone 8-1 ATS over their last nine games, but that win over Cincy was big. Even head coach Penny Hardaway made note of its significance, telling the Daily Memphian that, “it’s my first win here as a coach.”
Without Alex Lomax who was out with an injury and is doubtful for Tuesday’s game as well, guard Boogie Ellis took over as leading scorer by putting up 17 points and 7 rebounds in a game where the Tigers had five players in double figures. Forward Landers Nolley II had a double double with 10 points and ten assists while center Moussa Cisse added 11 points and 7 boards. Memphis has a fantastic defense, holding opponents to an average of 62.6 points a game, 19th best in the country. One of their defensive strengths is making it hard for teams to shoot as they hold opposing teams to a 38.8% from the floor, 6th best in college basketball.

South Florida Skidding to the End
Losers of two straight, South Florida is 8-10 on the season overall, but only 4-8 in the conference. Their overall record is even a bit deceiving as they have played very poor ball lately, losing five of their last six. Against Houston, they were never even close, getting blown out by 46 points in a game that featured 15 South Florida turnovers. Although they are out of the AAC Tournament, they will still try to end their season on a positive note starting with this game.
In that game against Houston, only two of the Bulls players scored in double figures as Xavier Castaneda put up 11 and Caleb Murphy provided another 10. On the season, David Collins’ 12.4 points per game represents the only player for South Florida that averages double figures. This is a team that has lost five of six ATS lately and only averages 66.2 points a contest. They’ve only averaged 44.5 points over their last two games and shot 34/104 from the floor (33%).
