After a bump in the road where they lost 4 straight, the Quinnipiac Bobcats are back on track and will look to extend their 2-game winning streak when they host the Marist Red Foxes tonight in Hamden, CT. Quinnipiac still holds the top spot in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference with a record of 21-8 and as the home team they are a stout 12-3. Marist sits in the #4 spot in MAAC, with a record of 16-11, and is 8-7 as the away team. The Bobcats are averaging 78.2 points per game as opposed to the Red Foxes at 64.9. Quinn won easily in their last meeting in Poughkeepsie, 66-55. Not only do they average a lot more points than Marist, they also have the edge in free throws, rebounds, steals, and blocked shots.
TONIGHT’S PICK: QUINNIPIAC BOBCATS M/L

The San Diego State Aztecs will make the short trip to Thomas and Mack tonight for a matchup with the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels. The Rebels are hot, winners of their last 4, and are 10-4 as the home team but the Aztecs have had their number. San Diego State has won the last 6 meetings including a 72-61 thumping of UNLV back on January 6th. This game will come down to defense and the Aztecs, like every year, have a formidable D with the edge in points allowed, rebounds, and steals. Currently San Diego is laying 1.5 with a money line of only -125. It makes no sense to lay the points.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SAN DIEGO STATE AZTECS M/L

After losing their last two, the Niagara Purple Eagles will try to right the ship when they host the Mount St. Mary’s Mountaineers in a matinée today in Lewiston. Niagara and Mount St Mary’s match up well but the edge goes to Niagara. The Purple Eagles cruised to an easy victory over the Mountaineers, 82-71, in Emmitsburg on January 21st and have won 4 of the last 5 meetings. They also have the edge in points scored, 3-pointers and free throws. The line is currently Niagara -2.5 with a money line of only -145. Don’t sweat the hook.
TODAY’S PICK: NIAGARA PURPLE EAGLES M/L

The Cornell Big Red will take it on the arches tonight to Philadelphia for a matchup with the Pennsylvania Quakers. The Big Red lost their last outing in a close one to Brown and they don’t lose two in a row. Cornell is #2 in the Ivy League with a record of 20-5 and Penn sits is the #7 spot with a record of 10-16. Penn has lost 9 of their last 10 and Cornell should have no problem taking care of business tonight. The Big Red are averaging 82.4 points per game as opposed to the Quakers’ 73.5 and put a beating on them in their last matchup on January 15th, 77-60. The line is currently Cornell -4.5 which is a little fishy. It should be higher so money line it.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CORNELL BIG RED M/L

The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers will be a home dog when they host the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs tonight in Bowling Green. These are two of the elite in the C-USA with the Bulldogs owning the top spot and the Hilltoppers coming in at third. Western Kentucky has no issue with scoring, averaging 80 points per game, and as the home team they are 12-1. They already beat the Bulldogs this year in Ruston LA, 81-76, and they were a huge underdog at +9.5. The Hilltoppers are not getting the respect they deserve once again but that’s okay. Keep in mind they are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WESTERN KENTUCKY HILLTOPPERS +2½

The Nevada Wolf Pack will take a 3-game winning streak to Fort Collins tonight to face their Mountain West rival, the Colorado State Rams. These two teams match up well in every category so this will not be a walk in the park for either side. The Pack have won the last two meetings with the Rams, including a convincing 77-64 win back on January 24th, so why then are the Rams currently laying 7.5? That’s too much chalk. Is this a trap to take the Pack? We are going to find out.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEVADA WOLF PACK +7½

The #1 seed in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, the Quinnipiac Bobcats, have hit a bump in the road, losers of their last 3, but they should get back on track today when they visit the #7 seed Rider Broncos. The Bobcats have owned the Broncs, winning the last 7 meetings, and have the edge in points scored, points allowed, 3-pointers, free throws, etc., etc., etc. Depending on where you shop, the line is currently Quinnipiac -1.5 with a money line of only -110 so the decision is obvious. Consider the Bobcats on the money line.
