South Carolina Upstate is 6-21 on the season and they've won just once this calendar year. The team has struggled on defense on the road giving up 82 at Campbell, 71 at UNC Asheville, 88 at Hampton and 71 at High Point. Their offense isn't very good, but there are still some decent options. Malik Moore and Deion Holmes are the dynamic duo for the road squad. Longwood wants to get up and down a little bit at home. They've played games of 89-88, 96-83, 55-51, 72-59, 101-91 and 67-62 at home. The Lancers lost at SC Upstate 80-63 back on January 26th, but they had leading scorer Isaiah Walton then. Now they are led by Shabooty Phillips and JaShaun Smith. I think this one should over the lower total.

Ohio has been a brutal team this season having lost four straight and eight of their last 11. The Bobcats are an awful road squad losing by 20 at Miami-Ohio, 11 at NIU, 23 at Toledo, 19 at Bowling Green, 21 at Xavier and 28 at Purdue. They do have a win at Ball State, but the offense has been terrible and the defense is going to have massive issues. They have scored 60 or less in four straight and six of their last eight. CMU has lost five of their last seven, but four of those were on the road. The Chips beat people up at home when they get the chance. Their offense is too good for the Bobcats. The problem will be their defense, but Ohio's O is so bad. I think the home team is worth a look here. 

I tried Charleston last time out and they fell short against Hofstra. The Cougars offense got a lot of Grant Riller and Jarrell Brantley, but it couldn't slow down the Pride. Now they've got a Northeastern team that may or may not have Vasa Pusica and Shawn Occeus. Now, Pusica is only dealing with an illness and he's played just 18 games. Jordan Roland, Donnell Gresham and Bolden Brace are the other big time options for the Huskies who are hot, but they've also struggled at times on the road against quality competition. Northeastern has gone over in every conference road game except the Hofstra one and that was falling three points short. Both teams can play good defense, but they've also allowed more points against quality competition. The 69-60 Huskies win back about a month ago saw Northeastern shoot well and make some stops. With the venue changing, I expect more points.

Southern Miss has gone over in four straight and five of their last seven as they host UTEP. The Golden Eagles offense has scored 70 or more in five straight as the offense has caught fire. They've got plenty of weapons to throw at UTEP. At home, this team hasn't had much of an issue in conference outside of the 63 scored against Western Kentucky. The Miners aren't that good of a basketball team. They've scored less then 65 points several times in conference, but they've also been pretty bad on defense away from home. Louisiana Tech put up 71, Marshall 91 and Western Kentucky 76. The least they've allowed on the road was that La Tech game. The pace may not be to our liking, but I think USM can make things happen in this one. Give me the over. 

UVA has been off since Monday as they host Notre Dame on Saturday. The Fighting Irish has lost six of their last eight entering this one as the offense has gotten absolutely stale. They have shot 37% or worse from the field in two straight and five of their last six. This team scored 47 at Miami and the Hurricanes have nowhere near as good defense. These two met back on January 26th in South Bend with UVA coming away with a 82-55 victory. The Wahoos have failed to cover in three of their last four, but that came after a stretch of 10 straight covers. I understand that the Hokies game is next on Monday night, but I don't see this team succumbing to looking ahead to that one. They are just so much better and deeper then ND that they will get the cover easily.

It's round two between these two teams. Lipscomb won 86-57 back on January 21st. Kennesaw State is one of the worst teams in the country. The Owls have played a little bit of defense at home holding three of their last four opponents to 65 points or less. The problem is that none of them were really that potent. This squad struggles against anyone really with offensive talent. The Bisons are going to be quite ornery after losing 74-66 at home to Liberty. That snapped a streak of seven straight games scoring 75 or more. Lipscomb wants to get up and down and I don't think they'll have much of an issue doing it. Even against some of the lesser teams in the conference, their defense has allowed some points. This one should be really ugly and will go over the total. 

Mercer had a stretch of 11 of 12 overs, but has gone under in their last four. The Bears have scored 74, 81, 93, 70, 74 and 58 on the road in conference and lost by four 72-68 at home to East Tennessee State. The Bears have four double digit scorers for teams to worry about led by Ross Cummings and Ethan Stair. ETSU has gone over in three straight, seven of nine and nine of their last 12. This team is very tough at home although they've lost two of their last three there falling to Wofford and UNC Greensboro. Seven different players average eight points per game or more. Their defense has been a little shaky as of late, but had been a strength a lot of the year. To me, this one is going to be played in the 70s which goes over the total. 

It's been a brutal year for Wyoming who has lost nine of their last 11 games. The Cowboys don't have a ton of players and certainly don't have a ton of talent on the team. At home, they've played a little bit better with wins over Colorado State and San Jose State. The Cowboys have allowed 75 points or more in four of five and six of their last nine. Nevada has gone over in four of five and five of their last seven as they have cranked up the tempo. They have scored 90 or more in four of those contests and it seems like their depth and talent are wearing teams down. The Wolf Pack should be able to get anything that they want. I think they could get 80 or 90 points and that should be enough for us to get the over.

South Florida doesn't get enough publicity for being a 17-7 team on the season. The Bulls play fantastic defense holding opponents to 66.1 points per game. USF lost by 2 to the Owls in Philly in a game that saw them miss 25 FT's and force 22 turnovers. Coach Gregory is doing good things for this team as they've got a decent backcourt and some size inside. USF's only two home losses were to Houston and The Citadel. Temple's just not the same team on the road as they've laid an egg at Tulsa just recently and have also lost at Houston and Central Florida. Outside of Alston and Rose, there's not a lot to trust on this Owls team. I just don't think they have enough to win on the road right now. They need to tighten up on D which their opponent can already do. 

San Jose State's defense is one of the worst in the country. Over their last four games, they've allowed 92, 105, 67 and 103 points. These two teams played in Vegas back on January 19th with the Rebels scoring 94 in a 94-56 win. I wish I could say that San Jose State's offense will do it's part, but I think UNLV's lack of defense will help facilitate things. The Rebels have allowed 70 or more in six straight and seven of their last nine. The offense should be able to get whatever they want too. They allowed 82 at Utah State and 106 at Air Force. Give me the over in this one.

Virginia Tech is just not the same team without Justin Robinson who figures to be out for this one. Since the point guard left this team has scored just 47, 64, 51 and 76 points. The Hokies defense struggled in their two home games against Georgia Tech and Louisville. The offense just doesn't have enough bodies and Nickeil Alexander-Walker isn't the same without someone setting him up. This team only beat GT by three down in Atlanta back on 1/9 with Robinson in the lineup. Pittsburgh has lost eight straight although each of the last four were single digit losses. They played NC State and Syracuse tough at home and have beaten FSU and Louisville there. The Panthers offense has actually been decent this year and Jeff Capel is doing good things with the program. I think this is way too many points to be laying for the home dog.
