TODAY’S PICK: NIAGARA PURPLE EAGLES +2.5

The Fresno State Bulldogs will be overmatched when they visit Reno tonight for a date with the Nevada Wolf Pack. Nevada has been on a roll, ripping off 4 straight victories, and when they take the floor at Lawlor Events Center, they don’t disappoint. The Pack is 11-2 at home where they have been lighting it up the score board, averaging 81.8 points per game and allowing an average of 69.7. The Bulldogs are just 4-9 on the road where they are averaging 66.8 points per game and allowing an average of 68.3. Nevada has won the last 5 meetings with Fresno and has been a covering machine, going 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Lay the 7 and take the Pack.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEVADA WOLF PACK -7

The Quinnipiac Bobcats are desperate for a win, after losing 5 straight, but they should get back into the Win column tonight when they host another struggling team, the Canisius Golden Griffins. Canisius has lost 3 in a row and have been pathetic on the road, at 2-11. The Bobcats have been respectable in Hamden, at 7-4, and drilled the Griffins in Buffalo just 3 weeks ago, 90-73. Consider the home team in this one. They’re due.
TONIGHT’S PICK: QUINNIPIAC BOBCATS M/L

The Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks will be laying a lot of chalk tonight when they host the Central Arkansas Bears and if they want to cover the number they will. The Lumberjacks dominate at home, with a record of 12-1, averaging 84.5 points per game and allowing 65.2. The Bears are totally overmatched in this one, with a road record of 2-13, and a defense that is surrendering an average of 91.5 points on the road. That’s not good. Lay it and take Stephen F.
TONIGHT’S PICK: STEPHEN F. AUSTIN LUMBERJACKS -13

The Dayton Flyers are the real deal and they will take their perfect 6-0 road record into Richmond tonight to face the VCU Rams. The Flyers, who are ranked 5th in the nation, have an opposing offense that is averaging 81.2 points per game and back it up with a defense that is surrendering just 65.6 points per game. The Rams are averaging 72.0 points per game, allowing an average of 64.3, and might make it interesting but do you know who’s #1 in the country in field goal percentage? Dayton.
TONIGHT’S PICK: DAYTON FLYERS M/L

The #4 San Diego State Aztecs should be ranked #1 but they’re not. They will take their perfect 25-0 record into Idaho today to face the Boise State Broncos. Are they going to fold? Not likely. The Aztecs already put the screws to the Broncs back on January 11th, blowing them out, 83-65, and with a defense that is relinquishing an average of just 58.4 points per game, forget about it.
TODAY’S PICK: SAN DIEGO STATE AZTECS M/L

When teams visit Dreamstyle Arena, or better known as the Pit, to face the New Mexico Lobos, the visitors rarely get out alive. Unfortunately for the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels, that is where they will be today. New Mexico is 14-1 at home and have been lighting up the scoreboard for the home crowd, averaging 84.5 points per game and allowing an average of 72.3. The Rebels stumble into this one losing 5 of their last 6 and are just 2-7 on the road, averaging 69.1 points per game and allowing an average of 77.1. As usual, the Lobos will get it done today at the Pit.
TODAY’S PICK: NEW MEXICO LOBOS M/L
