The Valparaiso Beacons have lost five straight but should get back on track tonight when they host the Southern Illinois Salukis. As the home team, the Beacons are 8-4, average more points per game than the Salukis and they have the edge in 3-pointers, rebounds, blocks, and are currently getting a point and a half.
TONIGHT’S PICK: VALPARAISO BEACONS +1½

The Fordham Rams will be hosting the Duquesne Dukes in an early one today in the Bronx. The Bronx Boys are a home dog, and they shouldn’t be, but if they are giving you take.
TODAY’S PICK: FORDHAM RAMS +3

The Cornell Big Red will be at Jadwin Gymnasium today to take on the Princeton Tigers. The Big Red is currently getting 4 and the hook. They should win or at least get under the number. Cornell is 6-2 as the away team and average 86.6 points per game; the Tigers average 77.1.
TODAY’S PICK: CORNELL BIG RED +4½

The Marist Red Foxes are in Niagara Falls tonight to take on the Niagara Purple Eagles. Marist is the better team offensively and defensively. Take them on the money line.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MARIST RED FOXES M/L

Two of the Mountain West elite will square off tonight when the New Mexico Lobos host the Boise State Broncos at the Pit. New Mexico is 14-4, 6-1 in conference play, and second in the Mountain West. Boise is right on their tail in the third spot at 13-5 and 5-2 in conference play. Teams do not like visiting the Pit. It puts fear in them and rightfully so. New Mexico has always had success there and this year is no different. The Lobos are 9-1 as the home team and are averaging 83.2 points per game vs. the Broncos’ 78.7. They also have the edge in 3-pointers, rebounds, blocks and steals. New Mexico, when at the Pit, is always worth a strong consideration. The line is currently Lobos -3.5 with a money line around -175.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW MEXICO LOBOS M/L

The Marist Red Foxes used to be the bottom feeders of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, but things have change and in a big way. Marist is #1 in the MAAC and will take their game on the road tonight to New Jersey to face the Saint Peter’s Peacocks. Marist is 12-2 on the season and a perfect 5-0 in conference play. St Peter’s sits in the #11 spot in the MAAC with a record of 6-7 and is 1-4 in conference play. The Peacocks are just 2-4 over their last 6 games. They did win their last outing but that was against the Canisius Golden Griffins and a good high school team can beat those guys. The Red Foxes are on a roll, winning 8 straight and 9 of their last 10. They should cruise to a victory tonight. The line is currently Marist -1.5 which is fishy. It should be higher, but the Red Foxes are still the side to consider on the money line.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MARIST RED FOXES M/L

The Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons will be a road favorite tonight over the Wright State Raiders, and they should be. Year in and year out the Mastodons have been a scoring machine, and this year is no different. They are averaging 82.5 points per game, and they are hot. The Mastodons have won 3 straight, 8 of their last 10, and over their last 3 wins they have put up 258 points. PFW sits in the second spot in the Horizon and in conference play they are 6-2. Wright State is seventh in the Horizon and is 3-4 in conference play, averaging 75.5 points per game. The Raiders fell to Robert Morris in their last outing, 75-72, and are just 2-4 in their last 6 games. The line is currently PFW -1.5, with a money line of -120. It should be higher. Jump on the Mastodons money line.
TODAY’S PICK: PURDUE FORT WAYNE MASTODONS M/L
