CBB | INDIANA ST. @ BRADLEY | 03/04 | 3:30 PM EST
INDIANA ST. +2.5
ANALYSIS: Both of these teams are capable of putting up a lot of points. Indiana State had an impressive win against Belmont yesterday and appear to be on a mission. The Sycamores are shooting 42.1 percent from three over their last three and shot 57.1 percent yesterday. Bradley struggled with Northern Iowa and from the free-throw, shooting 60.7 percent. Bradley isn’t the best free-throw team in general and if it comes down to it, Indiana State has shot 83.7 percent at the line over their last three. I’m on Indiana State.
CBB | SOUTH ALABAMA @ SO. MISS | 03/04 | 12:30 PM EST
SOUTH ALABAMA +1.5
ANALYSIS: These two teams splits the season series but Southern Miss struggled down the stretch despite being the number one seed in the Sun Belt. South Alabama is currently playing better and have one game under their belt. The Jaguars have been shooting 42.6 percent from three as compared to the Golden Eagles 36.8 percent over their last three games. South Alabama has more size down-low with 7-footer Kevin Samuel to grab rebounds and block shots like he did against App. State. The Jaguars also guard the perimeter really well, holding opponents to 29.1 percent on the season. I’m on South Alabama.
CBB | KANSAS @ TEXAS | 03/04 | 4:00 PM EST
TEXAS -3
ANALYSIS: Texas comes off two straight losses and now host a Kansas team who’s 9-1 in their last 10 games. At home, the Longhorns shoot 57.3 percent from the floor as compared to the Jayhawks 52.2 percent on the road. Kansas has been playing much better on the road but this is the best overall defense they’ve faced all year and Texas' defense is even better at home. The Jayhawks took the first match by eight at home so now the Longhorns want their revenge. I’m on Texas.
