To say the Sacred Heart Pioneers have owned the Central Connecticut State Blue Devils would be an understatement and that is who they will be hosting today in a matinée in Fairfield, Connecticut. The Pioneers have won 13 straight against the Blue Devils and haven’t loss to them since way back in 2015. The Pioneers are #6 in the Northeast Conference at 12-13, 6-4 at home, and 5-5 in conference play. The Blue Devils are #8 in the Northeast, 6-18 on the year, 2-11 on the road, and 4-6 in conference play. At home, Sacred Heart is averaging 72.2 points per game and allowing 68.7. On the road, Central Connecticut is averaging 63.2 points per game and allowing an average of 72.8. The Pioneers are currently laying 3.5 but don’t get burned by the hook and consider Sacred Heart on the money line.
TODAY’S PICK: SACRED HEART PIONEERS M/L

There in no better rivalry in college basketball than the Yale Bulldogs and Harvard Crimson. Tonight they will square off on Harvard’s home court, Lavietes Pavilion. Yale is #3 in the Ivy League and 4-3 in conference play. Harvard sits in the #5 spot, with a conference record of 3-4. These two teams always go toe-to-toe and tonight should be no different. The Bulldogs have won the last three meetings by a combined score of only 178-168, so this is a money line bet for sure. Yale is on a roll, winners of their last three games, and they have the edge in points per game, points allowed, field goal %, 3-pointers, free throws, rebounds and blocks.
TONIGHT’S PICK: YALE BULLDOGS M/L

The Elon Phoenix will travel to Long Island tonight for a matchup with their Colonial Athletic Association rival, the Stony Brook Seawolves. Elon is so bad a good high school team could take them down. The Phoenix are 3-19 overall, 1-8 in conference play, and winless on the road, at 0-10. The Seawolves are not making any waves in the Colonial Athletic but they should take care of business at home tonight. Stony Brook is 8-14, 5-4 on Long Island, and 4-5 in conference play. Depending on where you shop, the line is around 3 and the Seawolves have been covering. They are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 overall and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games against a team with a losing record. Will they cover the number? Probably, but the money line is only -155 so why sweat the points?
TONIGHT’S PICK: STONY BROOK SEAWOLVES M/L

The hottest team in the Patriot League is the Lehigh Mountain Hawks and today they will be hosting the Boston University Terriers in an early one at Stabler Arena. Not only have the Mountain Hawks won 7 straight, they have covered the number in all 7. Lehigh is second in the Patriot League, at 12-8, and are 7-2 in conference play. The Terriers sit in the eighth spot in the Patriot League, at 10-12, and are just 3-6 in conference play. On the road, they are averaging 63.7 points per game and allowing 69.1. The Mountain Hawks are 7-2 in Bethlehem, where they are averaging 74.7 points per game and allowing 61.9. Lehigh is currently laying 3 points and is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 against a team with a losing record. The numbers say Lehigh will cover but don’t sweat the points when the money line is only -155.
TODAY’S PICK: LEHIGH MOUNTAIN HAWKS M/L

The Utah State Aggies will be getting 7 points tonight when they visit Viejas Casino and their Mountain West rival, the San Diego State Aztecs. These two teams match up well. The Aggies are 16-4 and 5-2 in conference play and the Aztecs are 15-4 and 8-1 in conference play. As it is year in and year out, San Diego State has a formidable defense but Utah State should still be able to put up some numbers. The Aggies have the edge in points per game, field goal %, 3-pointers, and free throws. These two teams always go toe-to-toe and I expect tonight will be no different.
TONIGHT’S PICK: UTAH STATE AGGIES +7

Fans at Fifth Third Arena will be treated to some entertaining basketball today when their Cincinnati Bearcats host the Memphis Tigers. Both teams match up well. Memphis is 14-5, fifth in the AAC, and 4-2 in conference play. Cincinnati is 14-6, second in the AAC, and 5-2 in conference play. The Bearcats have been dominant on their home court, where they are 10-2 and are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 home games. The Tigers have struggled on the road, where they are 2-4, 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games, and a dismal 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games overall. You know Fifth Third Arena will be electric with Bearcat fans and in this situation laying the 2.5 is the way to go.
TODAY’S PICK: CINCINNATI BEARCATS -2½

The Saint Bonaventure Bonnies will be in Chicago today to face the Loyola IL Ramblers and should come out on top because, simply put, the Ramblers are not a very good basketball team. Loyola is dead last in the Atlantic 10 with a record of 6-12. They are winless in conference play, at 0-6, and are riding a 7-game losing streak. The Bonnies are fifth in the A10, 10-9 on the season, and 4-2 in conference play. The Bonnies have the edge in points per game, points allowed, 3-point field goals, free throws, rebounds, etc., etc., etc… Depending on where you shop, the line is -2 St. Bonaventure and they are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall, but with a money line of only -140 why would you sweat the points?
TODAY’S PICK: ST. BONAVENTURE BONNIES M/L
