Rotation #601-602
Dayton/Davidson Over 133
Both teams share the basketball well and won’t beat themselves with turnovers.* Davidson is a perfect 12-0 at home this year and over the last few decades wins just about every game at home.* I am shocked this line is this low.* Dayton might be the most dangerous team in this conference on a neutral court.* This team has great finishers right around the basket and are one of the best teams in the nation at 2 point shooting percentage.* Dunks and layups are always great at pumping up shooting percentages.* Davidson shoots a lot of 3’s and at home typically get in the zone.* I think both teams are going to put on a show tonight in one of the better A-10 matchups this year.**Take the over
VCU -8
RHODE ISLAND @ VCU | 2/19 | 8:00 PM EST
2:14 PM
Rhode Island has won and covered the five meetings with VCU, including a 71-65 win four weeks ago. But Rhode Island has hit the skids since they last met, going 1-5 straight-up and ATS. The exact opposite has happened with VCU, which has won and covered its last six games, winning by an average of 13 ppg. For whatever it's worth, the favorite has covered the last eight meetings VCU is the play Tuesday.

PENN ST. -3
NEBRASKA @ PENN ST. | 2/19 | 7:00 PM EST
1:51 PM
The Huskers ended their seven-game losing streak by winning their last two at home, but they're on the road tonight. And they're 1-8 ATS in their last nine games. I've watched Penn State's last five games and I was impressed by the hustle, teamwork, defensive awareness and taking smart shots. It's 3-1-1 ATS over the last five which includes two narrow losses to Purdue, a tough loss but cover at Ohio State and an outright win against Michigan. I'm on Penn State.

PURDUE -6
PURDUE @ INDIANA | 2/19 | 7:00 PM EST
1:47 PM
Purdue has gone only 3-5 in true road games this season. But its record is misleading because the road struggles happened early in the season. The Boilermakers come into Indiana winning nine of their last 10 games overall (3-1 road) and the big dangling carrot in front of them is winning the Big Ten regular-season title. They'll tie Michigan and Michigan State with a win Tuesday and, down the stretch, Purdue has the much easier schedule of the three teams. Purdue gets the cover Tuesday.

4 Unit Play. Take #626 Iowa -2 over Maryland (8:00p.m., Tuesday February 19 Big 10)
A great matchup tonight in Iowa as the 25th ranked Maryland Turtles (Terps) visit the Iowa Hawkeyes and I see home court holding. Maryland is coming off a tough road loss on Saturday losing to Michigan 65-52 and the Terps have dropped 3 out 4 conference road games. Iowa comes into this home game winners of 4-Straight and tonight I'm hoping we see the Hawkeyes team at home we saw this first day of the month when they beat Michigan at home 74-59. The favorite in this series is 5-2 ATS and again I see the Terps struggling on the road.
3 Unit Play. Take #624 Drake -4 over Bradley (8:00p.m., Tuesday February 19)
Drake beat Bradley on the road already this season by double-digits and tonight I see Drake at home taking care of business. Totally shocked that this number isn't -6 or higher but I guess it because of Bradley winning 4-Straight coming into this game. Bradley is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 meetings and tonight I see another Drake home 'W'.
4-Unit Play. Take #625 Maryland +2 over Iowa (Tuesday, February 19 at 8:00 PM ET)
Take Maryland ATS as my 4-Unit CBB Smash for Tuesday night. This pick falls into one of my top college basketball systems and Maryland is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games after failing to cover the spread in their previous game. Maryland is also 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games after a loss and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games overall. Maryland is the superior team defensively here and they have held opponents to shooting just 33.3% against them over their last 5 games while also holding opponents to just 57.4 points per game. Opponents have shot 46.7% against Iowa over their last 5 games while averaging 74.2 points per game. Play Maryland ATS
