Based on both teams' recent history this game looks like a solid Under play. I think that Rutgers can control the pace in this match, and if they do that typically results in a lower-scoring game. Michigan can hang big numbers against average defenses but rarely lights it up when facing a quality unit. I can see a score in the mid to high 120s tonight.

The Memphis Tigers are favored to win by 3 points against the Wichita State Shockers. Memphis has an edge in current play and combined with their domination of Wichita State in recent head-to-head matchups they seem like the obvious play.

Considering all the stats included in our preview and based on Penn State's stronger performance in their last five games, as well as their better record against Ohio State, We believe that Penn State as the underdog has the advantage so we will take the 3 points.

Based on the statistical data, the Iowa Hawkeyes have the advantage in this game. They have a better assists-to-turnovers ratio and rebounding, while also having a higher shooting percentage differential. Although Iowa has struggled to cover the spread on the road, they have a good record against Wisconsin, winning four out of their last six games when playing against them. On the other hand, Wisconsin has struggled to cover the spread at home and has lost four out of their last six games when playing against Iowa.

The Providence Friars take on the Connecticut Huskies in a Big East matchup with playoff implications. While both teams have shown flashes of brilliance, Connecticut has been dominant at home and has the advantage in key statistical categories. Providence has struggled on the road and will likely struggle to keep up with the Huskies' high-powered offense. With a 7.5-point spread, betting on Connecticut seems like a safe bet.

Despite a disappointing loss to Kansas in their last game, Baylor has been playing great basketball recently. Meanwhile, Kansas State has struggled in conference play, losing to the Big 12's bottom two teams in their last two games. For these reasons, we're betting on the Baylor Bears to come out on top in this matchup. Baylor has shown the ability to bounce back after a loss this season, and with a more talented and experienced roster, they should be able to handle Kansas State. The line has moved to -2.5 in favor of Baylor, which only increases our confidence in this pick. We're expecting a bounce-back performance from the Bears and a convincing victory on the road.

Tastically, the Toledo Rockets seem to have an edge over Akron Zips in various categories, including shooting percentage, assists-to-turnovers ratio, and a better overall record. However, the Akron Zips have a slight advantage in total rebounding. I'll back the home side here and lay the points. Take Toledo -4

Kansas struggled through a tough stretch a while back, but that came against some good competition, so we weren’t too worried. Now it looks like the Jayhawks are gearing up for another run through March. TCU, meanwhile, shot 68 percent from the field last time out; we seriously doubt the Frogs can pull that trick again Monday night. TCU spanked KU a month ago, but while we don’t usually regard revenge as a reliable handicapping factor, it might play a part here. We’re betting on the Jayhawks Monday night.

Expert Analysis: Howard Bison to Win

Based on the statistical information provided, the Howard Bison appear to have a slight edge over the Morgan State Bears. While both teams are evenly matched in terms of rebounding and shooting, Howard may struggle to protect the ball, giving Morgan State an opportunity to capitalize on turnovers. However, Howard's recent wins and strong shooting percentage suggest they have the momentum and ability to pull off a victory in this game.

Furthermore, the fact that Morgan State is coming off a significant loss and has struggled to hit shots in recent games may indicate they are not in the best position to win. The absence of injuries for both teams is a positive factor for their performance, but Howard's overall record and recent wins are more impressive than Morgan State's, giving them the edge in this matchup.

Overall, the Howard Bison are expected to cover the spread and win this game against the Morgan State Bears, making them the best bet for this matchup. However, with both teams evenly matched in many areas, this game could certainly go either way, and it should make for an exciting and competitive matchup between these two teams.

We are going to back the Morgan State Bears +6.5

Based on the power stats, West Virginia has a slight advantage in assists-turnovers and rebounding, while Oklahoma State has an advantage in shooting percentage. The absence of key players on both teams may play a factor in the game's outcome. Given that West Virginia has lost their last three games and Oklahoma State has won two out of its last three games, the Cowboys could potentially cover the spread or even win outright. That makes taking the points in this scenario the best bet!

Both teams come into the game razor-sharp. The Wildcats have won four straight, and while every team in the Big Ten excluding maybe a beat-up Golden Gophers team, can be a tough out, NW wins were over two of the better clubs beating Indiana and Purdue at home and getting by lesser foes Wisconsin and Ohio State on the road. That looks a little better than Iowa’s five of six, with the only loss coming when they stepped up to face Purdue on the road and were beaten by double digits. They did put 73 points in the loss, which is the second most that the Boilermakers have allowed this season, but Purdue was up big after the first and coasted in the second half. Speaking of their offense, Iowa has scored 81 PPG on the season, and the last meeting 86 points in a game that reached 156 combined points. However, Iowa does score 6.6 PPG fewer points than their season average on the road. Northwestern has allowed just 58.5 PPG during their four-game win streak and just 59.8 PPG at home this season. NW slows down the pace and their defense steps up this time around.

Based on recent performances, power stats, and injury reports, it seems that Penn State is in a better position to win this game. They have a higher shooting percentage differential and a better ratio of assists turnovers. Additionally, they have only one player listed as questionable, while Minnesota has three players out due to injuries. Therefore, we predict that Penn State will win this game and cover the spread.

Yale shoots the ball better than Princeton and plays better defense. Also, after losing Friday night we expect a bounce-back effort from the Bulldogs here. And Yale just seems to have Princeton’s number over recent seasons. We’re betting the Bulldogs Saturday night. 

While both teams have similar assist and turnover ratios, the Wildcats have an advantage in rebounding, which could prove crucial in securing the win. However, the Cyclones have a better shooting percentage and a strong free-throw percentage. The Wildcats have been struggling lately, losing their last three games, while the Cyclones have won three of their last five games. With the current line favoring Kansas State, taking the Cyclones at +4.5 may be the smart pick, especially considering the Wildcats' recent struggles.

Statistically, it appears that the Indiana Hoosiers have the upper hand in this matchup. Indiana has better ball movement and efficiency on both ends of the court, while Illinois has struggled with turnovers and defensive consistency.  

Based on the power stats and recent performances, Dayton is the clear favorite in this matchup. Their strong rebounding and defensive play, combined with their superior ball movement and ball security, could give them a significant advantage over Loyola-Chicago. However, Loyola-Chicago has covered the spread in nine of their 25 games this season, and they have been competitive in most of their games. Therefore, while Dayton is likely to win, Loyola-Chicago could keep the game close and cover the spread as underdogs.

Brown has averaged 68.8 points per game this season but has exploded in recent games putting up an average of 78.2 PPG. They’ve won three consecutive matches and have just one poor performance in their last eight.

Based on recent performances and power stats, BYU has the edge in this matchup. Although both teams have similar rebounding and assists to turnovers ratios, BYU's shooting percentage differential and solid defensive field goal percentage should give them the advantage. Additionally, Santa Clara's injury concerns may impact their performance on the court. However, it's important to note that Santa Clara has been on a three-game winning streak and could surprise BYU with an upset, so don't go big on this.

Based on the statistical analysis and the lack of reported injuries for both teams, Purdue has the advantage in this matchup. The Boilermakers dominate the rebounding battle and have a higher shooting percentage than Maryland, which will give them more opportunities to score. Purdue also has a better turnover ratio, which indicates they will take care of the ball and limit Maryland's offensive possessions. Purdue's statistical superiority in key categories should give them the edge in this game.

Sure, Clemson has a statistical edge, but these two teams met in late January, where Clemson was lucky to escape with a one-point win. The Tigers are an outstanding 12-1 at home, but they don't always extend the margin, and when you are saddled with a -10 handicap -you may want to play the other side. That's exactly what I'm doing here. Take the Seminoles +10
