3* HEAVY HITTER on BYU/Baylor: under 161 This 161 total is way too high for a physical Big 12 battle in mid-February. Baylor has turned their home court into a defensive shell where points are hard to find. Baylors length on the perimeter will make life miserable for BYUs shooters tonight. That strategy often falls apart on the road against elite pressure and disciplined closeouts. Legs get heavy in February and those deep jumpers start falling short. They are excellent at forcing opponents into long possessions that end in contested looks. We have seen this total climb because of public perception, creating a massive edge for the Under. Expect a grinder where the intensity on the defensive end outweighs the offensive rhythm. This is a classic spot where the defense dictates the terms of the game. I like the Under 161. |

1* Free Pick on Rhode Island +4 Rhode Island is in a prime spot to keep this game within a single possession tonight. George Washington plays at one of the fastest tempos in the Atlantic 10, but that high speed comes with high variance. The Revolutionaries are prone to long scoring droughts when their three-point shots stop falling. They currently rank in the bottom third of the conference in effective field goal percentage defense. Rhode Islands defensive identity is finally starting to stick this late in the season. The Rams have done a great job of forcing opponents into long, contested possessions that bleed the shot clock. The Rams have a massive edge on the offensive glass in this matchup. George Washington is vulnerable on the boards and consistently gives up second-chance opportunities to physical teams. Rhode Island is also excellent at getting to the free-throw line. They draw fouls at a high rate and have the veteran shooters to capitalize on those free points. George Washington is coming off a massive emotional win last Saturday. This is a classic letdown spot where a team loses focus against a gritty, defensive-minded opponent. The Rams are 5-2 against the spread in their last seven games as a road underdog. They have the interior toughness to muck this game up and keep it tight until the final horn. George Washingtons lack of depth in the paint will be exposed by the Rhode Island frontcourt tonight. This line is giving the home team too much credit for their recent shooting streak. I like the Rhode Island +4.5 (-110).

5* NO BRAINER on Arizona State -2 Arizona State is back home in Tempe where they play their best basketball. They have a clear advantage in the backcourt tonight against an Oklahoma State team that cannot take care of the rock. The Sun Devils thrive on forcing mistakes and getting out in transition for easy buckets. Oklahoma State ranks near the bottom of the Big 12 in turnover percentage when playing away from home. Arizona States perimeter defense will be the biggest difference-maker in this matchup. They hold opponents to a very low effective field goal percentage by running shooters off the line. The Cowboys have not traveled well throughout this season. They have failed to cover the spread in four of their last five road games against conference opponents. Arizona State is coming off a short rest but they historically play much better in their own gym. The energy in Desert Financial Arena usually fuels a big second-half run for the Sun Devils. Oklahoma State struggles to score when they cannot get to the free-throw line. Arizona State does a great job of defending without fouling, which takes away the Cowboys' best way to stay close. The Sun Devils are finally healthy in the frontcourt and should win the battle on the glass. Limiting Oklahoma State to one shot per possession will prevent them from hanging around late in the game. This line is too short for a home favorite that matches up this well defensively. I expect the Sun Devils to pull away late in the second half. Bet Arizona State -2.5 (-110). |
