Season Record: 15-11-1
Buffalo (-7.5) @ Ohio 6:30 pm EST
CJ Massinburg and the Buffalo Bulls roll into the Convocation Center for a MAC battle tonight against Ohio. A tale of two programs going in different directions, with Buffalo currently on an 8 game winning streak and Ohio sitting at 1-4 in their last 5 including 0-2 at home. The Bulls are an impressive 11-5-1 ATS, while Ohio is a gross 5-7-2. Buffalo puts up points, too, 83.6 points a game, which works out because Ohio’s main weakness is on the defensive side of the court. The Bulls will exploit this weakness and get a double digit road win tonight.
Pick: Buffalo (-7.5)
Buffalo 84, Ohio 62
Oakland @ Northern Kentucky (-7) 9:00 pm EST
Northern Kentucky welcomes Oakland to the BB&T Arena tonight in a matchup of two similar teams. Oakland is fairly balanced with a weakness on the defensive side of the court, allowing opponents to score close to 80 points a game. They counter that by putting a lot of points on the board, clipping along at 82 per game. Northern Kentucky, on the other hand, is EXTREMELY balanced. 80.1 PPG on the offensive side, only 65.2 PPG on the defensive side and 11-5-1 ATS: I would feel confident on putting money on a Northern Kentucky cover tonight.
Pick: Northern Kentucky (-7)
Oakland 72, Northern Kentucky 81
Dartmouth @ Brown (-6.5) 7:00 pm EST
Absolute gut feeling on this game. The numbers are saying there is no way Dartmouth will cover, but after a tough overtime loss to Harvard, I think the Big Green will be back tonight with something to prove. Standout Freshman Chris Knight and company come into the Pizzitola Center and might not win, but will certainly keep it close.
Pick: Dartmouth (+6.5)
Dartmouth 73, Brown 76
