4* VEGAS INSIDER on Marshall -3 Marshall is one of the toughest places to play in the Sun Belt. The Herd thrive on high-possession games and they get a favorable matchup tonight at the Cam Henderson Center. South Alabama comes into this contest struggling to find consistency on the road. The Jaguars have dropped four of their last five away from home and are failing to cover the number in those spots. The Jaguars lack the depth to keep up with Marshalls pace for a full 40 minutes. Marshall ranks near the top of the conference in adjusted tempo and looks to push the ball after every defensive rebound. South Alabamas defense is prone to giving up open looks from beyond the arc. They currently rank outside the top 200 nationally in three-point percentage defense. Marshall is shooting at a much higher clip from deep in their home gym compared to on the road. That gap in shooting efficiency is going to be the main difference in this game. The Herd also do a great job of forcing turnovers and turning them into easy transition buckets. South Alabamas backcourt has been sloppy lately, coughing the ball up on over 20% of their possessions in recent games. The schedule also favors the home team here. Marshall stayed put after their Saturday game, while South Alabama is on the back end of a grueling road trip with heavy travel. The Jaguars looked tired in the second half of their game two nights ago. Now they have to face a Marshall squad that never stops running and wears opponents down. The line is sitting at 3.5 but the data suggests this should be closer to 6. We are getting strong value on a home favorite that matches up perfectly against a tired defense. Marshall is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games against teams with a losing road record. Expect them to control the tempo and pull away late. I like the Marshall -3.5 (-105) |

5* NO BRAINER on Iowa State -130 Iowa State is a different beast at Hilton Coliseum. They are a perfect 14-0 in Ames this season and just proved their dominance by dismantling #9 Kansas by 18 points on Saturday. The Cyclones' defense is the ultimate catalyst for this run. They rank as a top-10 unit nationally in defensive efficiency and force nearly 19 turnovers per contest. Houston is currently sitting at the top of the Big 12 standings, but they are walking into a house of horrors tonight. The Cougars have won six straight games, but this is easily their most difficult road environment of the season. Kelvin Sampsons squad is elite defensively, but they are facing a very quick turnaround after a physical battle with Kansas State on Saturday afternoon. The "Hilton Magic" factor is at an all-time high for this matchup. It is a designated "Gold Rules" game with the home crowd expected to be at a fever pitch for this top-five showdown on Big Monday. Iowa State has historically dominated this series at home, winning three of the four meetings against Houston in this building. The Cyclones have the veteran backcourt leadership in Tamin Lipsey to handle the heavy ball pressure Houston brings. Milan Momcilovic is also finding his rhythm at the right time after pouring in 18 points against the Jayhawks over the weekend. Expect the Cyclones to use that home energy to force uncharacteristic mistakes and turnovers from the Houston guards. When the game gets tight in the final minutes, the home-court advantage usually carries this team over the finish line. I will take the team that hasnt dropped a single game on their home floor all year. Bet Iowa State ML (-130). |
