The Niagara Purple Eagles will be getting no respect when they host the Iona Gaels today in an early one at Gallagher Center, and that suits me just fine. The Purple Eagles are no push over and especially at home. In Lewiston, they are 8-2, 4th in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, and 9-5 in conference play. The Gaels are a good team – that is a given. They are 2nd in the MAAC, 10-3 in conference play but just 4-4 on the road. Niagara is hot. They have won 5 straight, are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 overall, and the home team is 4-0-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
TODAY’S PICK: NIAGARA PURPLE EAGLES +7½

The Cornell Big Red will be a road favorite today when they visit the Brown Bears. Cornell is 15-7, 3rd in the Ivy League and 6-6 on the road. Brown is 12-10, 4th in the Ivy League and 6-4 at home. Cornell has lost their last two so they are due for a win. The Big Red can score, averaging 84.8 points per game as opposed the Bears’ 68.3. They also beat Brown, 80-73, back on January 28th. Cornell is currently laying 2 with a money line of only -132.
TODAY’S PICK: CORNELL BIG RED M/L

The Nevada Wolf Pack are still perfect at Lawlor Center and tonight they will go for their 13th straight home victory when they host the Fresno State Bulldogs. Not only do the Pack win in Reno, they cover. Nevada is 11-2-1 ATS in their last 14 home games. Fresno State is just 3-7 on the road and have not won at Lawlor Center since January 21, 2017. Nevada is averaging 78.7 points per game at home and allowing 64.7. On the road, Fresno State is averaging 63.2 points per game and allowing 69.8. The Pack is laying a lot of chalk. The current line is Nevada -9 but don’t let the number scare you. If they feel like blowing out the Bulldogs tonight they will.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEVADA WOLF PACK -9

The Fordham Rams will look to bounce back from a tough loss on Sunday to the Richmond Spiders, a game they could have and should have won, when they host the Massachusetts Minutemen tonight at Rose Hill Gymnasium. The Rams have been a tough opponent at home. They are 14-2 in the Bronx, where they average 73.1 points per game and allow an average of 65.2. The Minutemen are just 2-5 on the road where they are averaging 66.1 points per game, allowing 75.1, and are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 road games. On the other hand, Fordham covers. They are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 overall, 23-7-1 ATS in their last 31 home games, and following an ATS loss they are 12-4-1 ATS in their last 17. The current line is Fordham -6 and if they want to cover the number they will.
TONIGHT’S PICK: FORDHAM RAMS -6

The Fordham Rams are smoking hot, winners of their last 5 games, and they will go for 6 today when they head to Richmond for a 12 o’clock tip-off with the Spiders. The Boys from the Bronx are #3 in the A-10, 6-3 in conference play, and 4-2 on the road. The Spiders have slipped to the #10 spot in the A-10. They are 4-6 in conference play and 9-3 at Robins Center. Richmond has lost 4 straight however they have had Fordham’s number winning the last 4 meetings and are due, but will they cover the number? The Spiders are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games overall and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games. On the flip side, the Rams are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 overall, 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games against a team with a home winning record, and the road team is 8-2-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
TODAY’S PICK: FORDHAM RAMS +4½

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
