    Analysis

    Merrimack is 12-2 against MAAC opponents and is the only team to rank in the top three in both offensive and defensive efficiency in conference play, per KenPom. Freshman guard Kevair Kennedy is one of the best players in the conference and he carved up the Foxes for 20 points in the first meeting between these teams, a 13-point win at Marist back on Jan. 19. Tonight they’re playing the return game in North Andover, where Merrimack is 8-0 straight up and 7-1 against the spread, so I like laying the short number with the Warriors.

    Analysis

    Stony Brook has played the top tier of the Coastal to a standoff, knocking off Charleston and nearly doing the same to NC-Wilmington in recent matchups vs. the top teams in the league. Geno Ford has also made sure to fire his best weapon as often as possible, Milwaukee transfer G Erik Pratt (19.3 ppg), who has flourished in the CAA, while backcourt mates Rob Brown III and Andrej Shoshkikj have kept foes from ganging up on Pratt with their combined three-point shooting near 40%. Meanwhile, disappointment for Pat Skerry's Towson, dropping low in the table after losing three of the last four, including an unsightly 71-49 thrashing administered by Hofstra last weekend when Towson only hit 30% from the floor. Play Stony Brook

    Picked: Feb 12 @ 3:30pm

    Analysis

    We aren't necessarily looking for spots to go against turbo-charged High Point, rather it's past experiences with double-digit road favorites in conference play after February begins. We know that's a mouthful, but we saw again last night in the Big Ten when high-rated Michigan had all sorts of trouble at Northwestern and couldn't cover a double-digit price. Upstate already lost by 20 at High Point but is coming off of a wild 100-94 OT win over Charleston Southern, the latest showcase for a capable Spartan offense featuring G Karmani Gregory, who scored 29 vs. the Bucs, and backcourt mate Mason Bendinger, who scored 25. After all, the Panthers have to have a flat spot in Big South play sooner or later...right? Play Upstate

    Picked: Feb 11 @ 7:29pm

    Analysis

    On CBS Sports Network Thursday. It's only the fourth-ever nationally televised game from VyStar Arena. I expect this to rise a good 30 cents, maybe a bit more. One of those perfect conference payback spots for an earlier loss as Kennesaw State fell by a point at Middle Tennessee on Dec. 17. But the Blue Raiders are only 2-6 away and enter on a five-game skid overall. Kennesaw State is 10-1 at home. The Owls are 20th in the nation in field goal defense at 39.6% and rank 10th in blocks at per game at 5.7.

    Analysis

    There's a lot of run-n-gun in the Horizon this season and these two won't usually be riding the handbrake. Though NKU had to slow it down to break a five-game skid and top Milwaukee last weekend, the Norse would rather get back to running with their 83 ppg offense featuring CS Fullerton transfer G Donovan Oday (18.5 ppg), now being used in the starting lineup by Darrin Horn after coming off the bench earlier in the season,. As for IU-Indy, it regards defense only as something to take up time between offensive possessions, as the jumpin' Jags continue to feed their 84 ppg offense with sharpshooters like Kyle D'Augustino, (18.8 ppg), who scored 27 in Tuesday's high-scoring loss to Milwaukee. Play NKU-IUI Over
