BOISE ST. @ MEMPHIS | 03/25 | 9:00 PM EDT
MEMPHIS -4
ANALYSIS: The Tigers have covered seven straight and might still be playing if they had gotten a berth in the NCAA Tournament and not the NIT. They lost two nailbiters to Houston in that stretch. There's a reason they entered the NIT as tournament favorites. The Mountain West got exposed a bit during the NCAA Tournament, with San Diego State and Utah State losing their first-round games by double digits. Lay the points.

NC STATE @ COLORADO ST. | 03/25 | 7:00 PM EDT
NC STATE -1.5
ANALYSIS: The motivation of a team is always in question when a power six conference school appears in the NIT. I truly believe this NC State team wants to be here and takes a lot of pride in advancing and potentially winning this tournament. Look for the Wolfpack to rely on their experience in a much tougher conference as the Rams have really struggled of late, much like other Mountain West schools like Boise State, Utah State and San Diego State who all though they were NCAA tournament teams.

WASHINGTON @ NEW YORK | 03/25 | 7:30 PM EDT
NEW YORK -3
ANALYSIS: Beating teams multiple times in the the same week is very difficult in this league, but my model likes the Knicks to accomplish that tonight against the Wizards. The one wildcard here keeping the market at -3 vs. -4 or more is the fact that the Knicks SHOULD be active at the trade deadline this afternoon, which could leave them thin tonight. However, we know the young core of Randle, Barrett, Robinson, Quickley isn't going anywhere. A thin Knicks team wouldn't be the end of the world with Quickley grabbing more minutes tonight. This number should be -4.9 or higher against the current version of the Wizards.

BOISE ST. @ MEMPHIS | 03/25 | 9:00 PM EDT
MEMPHIS -4
ANALYSIS: Memphis is on a nice little ATS run that my simulations say should continue against a Boise team that really fell apart in the finals weeks of the regular season and missed the NCAA tournament. I make Memphis -4.8 favorites and that number balloons up over -5 if Alex Lomax is upgraded to probable. Lay it.
LOUISIANA TECH @ W. KENTUCKY | 03/25 | 10:00 PM EDT
LOUISIANA TECH PK
ANALYSIS: No. 4 Louisiana Tech vs. No. 3 Western Kentucky in NIT quarterfinal from Texas. The Hilltoppers seem to be the very popular pick all over the place, including from our Larry Hartstein. I totally get it as they will have the best player on the floor in future NBA draftee Charles Bassey. However, I think the loss of rugged power forward Carson Williams -- he's pursuing an NFL career -- will hurt against a big, physical Tech team. These Conference USA schools split two close games in Kentucky this season and Williams averaged 7.5 points and 5.5 rebounds in them. “We’re a different team now without Carson,” WKU coach Rich Stansbury said. “We’ll miss his ability to give us some good physical depth in there against those two or three big guys they’re going to throw at him."
