Game: William & Mary at Georgia St. (6:00 PM Eastern) Pick: 2 units on William & Mary +1.5
Georgia State hasn't had lots to smile about. But they are coming off an emotional ovetime win over Towson State to lift their record to just 5-8. William & Mary certainly has been a surprise to many standing at 9-4, including a win at George Mason. This William & Mary team isn't led by a key player but has had success with tremendous depth and three double digit scorers. It will be difficult for Georgia State to come away with a win tonight against a deeper and more talented Tribe team.
Game: Old Dominion at Hofstra (7:00 PM Eastern) Pick: 2 units on Game Total OVER 134
This game is fairly even-matched and both teams will bring even 10-4 records into the game. This is a game that is very likely to go down to the wire and a game that should score in the mid 60-point range at least but will likely become elongated at the finish. We like the total to go over regardless but the fact that this game is likely to end with one team or the other marching to the free throw line makes the OVER a sound play.
Game: Towson St. at Delaware (7:00 PM Eastern) Pick: 3 units on Game Total OVER 126
Delaware has not been a good basketball team this year home or away with just two wins. Towson State has shown one thing and that is the ability to score but has otherwise been inconsistent. Delaware has allowed seven opponents to top the 70-point mark this season and with a competent offensive opponent we see this game going over 70-points by the winner and likely to go well over the posted total.
Game: Manhattan at Canisius (7:00 PM Eastern) Pick: 2 units on Canisius -4.5
Things have changed around the Metro Atlantic Conference. Manhattan once ruled the roost for many years but that coach is gone and two players defected with the change. What is left has struggled to a 5-8 start. Canisius is only 6-8, but has won four of their last six and will have a shot at Manhattan at home. To Canisius, it still says Manhattan on the uniform, and it is a chance for a finally better Canisius team to get revenge. Manhattan has won two games on the road by a total of five points and is simply out-manned here.
Game: Villonova at Georgetown (8:00 PM Eastern) Pick: 3 units on Villonova +5.5
Georgetown has been living up to the heightened expectations they had at the beginning of the season and have rattled off seven wins in a row standing at 11-3. Villonova has also done a good job and stands at 10-4. The one problem team in the Big East that always gives Georgetown fits is Villonova. ‘Nova has not lost a game at Georgetown in over a decade and has won the last two by double digits. It is no secret that the teams that give Georgetown problems are smaller quick teams. The losses to Oregon, Duke and Old Dominion support that trend. Villonova has been a beast in this role as they have now gone 18-8 ATS as a road dog and most recently they are 7-1 ATS on the road when playing a team with a winning record. Take the points here.
