UNDER 139 COLORADO @ TEXAS | 3/27 | 9:00 PM EDT
11:11 AM
NIT matchups produce Overs more often than not as teams have little time to prepare defensively for opponents. Yet Colorado and Texas usually reside Under this total. The Buffaloes, ultra-strong at home, are a mediocre road squad, as reflected by a 19-7 Under streak in that setting, while the Longhorns and topped the total once in their last five games.
7-2-1 IN LAST 10 CBB PICKS | +483
NC STATE -4
LIPSCOMB @ NC STATE | 3/27 | 9:00 PM EDT
11:09 AM
The road has been kind to Lipscomb. The Bisons have won nine of their last 10 away games straight-up and, dating to the 2016-17 season, are 27-10-1 ATS. But the travel disparity rule applies here. This is Lipscomb’s third trip for an NIT game, whereas N.C. State has yet to leave home. The effects of travel are accumulative — Wichita State’s third consecutive road win on Tuesday notwithstanding — so the Wolfpack gets the nod.

COASTAL CAROLINA +8
COASTAL CAROLINA @ DEPAUL | 3/27 | 8:00 PM EDT
11:07 AM
Coastal Carolina laid 109 points Monday on West Virginia, and some momentum should carry over for a tipoff just two days later. Cliff Ellis is an accomplished coach who got the Chanticleers to the CBI finals in 2017. DePaul has benefitted from two home games in the tournament and has covered on only three occasions going back 10 outings.

OREGON +8
OREGON VS VIRGINIA | 3/28 | 9:59 PM EDT
MON 3/25
Oregon is on a 9-1 Under streak, while Virginia has been Under in four of the past five neutral-site games. Why is that relevant to the pick? Well, eight points is a sizable spread for a game carrying a total of 118. The Ducks are no fluky No. 12 seed to reach the Sweet 16. Their suddenly awakened defense and style of play can keep the Cavaliers within single digits.
