2 Unit Play. Take #630 Gonzaga -7.5 over Santa Clara (9p.m., Tuesday, March 10 ESPN) Just see a letdown for Santa Clara in this game. Everyone now has them into the NCAA Tournament after beating Saint Mary’s late last night. Now they have less than a 24 hour tournament to place the 12th ranked team in the country. Gonzaga has had great success against Santa Clara and won the last 3 meetings by at least 8 points (39 points).

2-Unit Play. Take #603 Utah (+11.5) over Cincinnati (3 p.m., Tuesday, March 10)
Utah is 10-21 on the season and they are 1-12 in their last 13 games. They were blown out by 26 over the weekend and have lost four straight games by double-digits. So why bother with them? Because conference tournaments offer new life to bad teams like this. Utah only lost by four at Cincinnati on Feb. 15 so they have proven that they can play with the Bearcats. Thirteen of Utah’s 21 losses this season were by 12 points or fewer. Cincinnati has all the pressure on them.
4-Unit Play. Take #605 Kansas State (+10.5) over BYU (7 p.m., Tuesday, March 10)
In the 19 games that BYU has played since Christmas, they have won exactly two of them by more than 10 points. And a lot of those were with Richie Saunders. Kansas State sucks and is another team that looks like it is ready for the season to end. They have played better since they ditched Jerome Tang, though. KSU can’t compete with the top tier of the Big 12 (Arizona, Houston, Kansas, Iowa State). But against everyone else in the league they only lost one of 10 games by more than 10 points. Going back further, they competed with NCAA-caliber teams Nebraska and Seton Hall as well. I don’t think KSU rolls over here and their backcourt is good enough to keep this game close.
2-Unit Play. Take #632 Portland State (-2.5) over Montana (9 p.m., Tuesday, March 10)
Portland State lost both of its regular season matchups to Montana. I do not see the Grizzlies getting the sweep. I think Portland State rolls this young Montana team here.
2-Unit Play. Take #633 Idaho (-1.5) over Eastern Washington (11:30 p.m., Tuesday, March 10)
Well, I said all regular season that Idaho was better than its league record and performance. They may have found a groove and knocked off a solid Montana State squad their last time out. I think they are better than EWU and it is an indicator that the lower-seeded Vandals are favored in this matchup.
1-Unit Play. Take #306556 Vermont (-12.5) over NJIT (7 p.m., Tuesday, March 10)
Carpe diem. Good luck.
Craig Trapp
3-Unit Play. Take #306554 UMBC (-8.5) Over UMass Lowell (6p.m., Tuesday, March 10)
UMBC dominated both earlier meetings and remains a bettor’s favorite — 9‑1 ATS in their last 10. I don’t expect another 23–24 blowout, but UMBC should win by 15+. Take UMBC to win and cover the spread.

4-Unit Play. Take #629 Santa Clara (+6.5) vs Gonzaga (9 p.m., Tuesday, March 10)
I rolled with Santa Clara last night and they got the upset win over a tough Saint Mary's team that ironically was just off an upset win over this same Gonzaga team. Even though the Bulldogs got the win last night too to get back on track and reach the final here, Gonzaga was not impressive. Here the Dogs are sizable favorites over a Broncos team that has only 4 losses by more than 3 points in their 33 games played this season! Also, Santa Clara's last 20 games featured two losses to Gonzaga but a fantastic 17-1 record in the other 18 games! In other words, the Broncos are out for double revenge here and certainly have been one of the hottest teams in the West Coast Conference throughout this period. Upset alert...again...but we'll grab the points of course as this is a generous number to be receiving. The Broncos have been shooting very well from 3-point land in their two games in this tourney and Gonzaga has only had one game so far and did not shoot well at all from beyond the arc. Ride the hot shooting Broncos here! 4* SANTA CLARA +6.5
4-Unit Play. Take #634 Eastern Washington (+1.5) vs Idaho (11:30 p.m., Tuesday, March 10)
Idaho is off a revenge win over Montana State. Tonight it is the red-hot Eagles shot at revenge here! Eastern Washington is off a win over Weber State and is out for double revenge here over the Vandals. I don't see Idaho making it 3 in a row over Eastern Washington. Both teams have been hot here late in the season but the Eagles have been particularly on fire. Eastern Washington has won 9 of 10 games and the only loss was to Idaho. That was a tight home loss and the 2nd of 2 tight losses that the Eagles have had versus the Vandals this season. That said, it is big-time payback here and Semi-Finals of the Big Sky Tournament is the perfect spot for the Eagles to get their revenge. This is a well-coached team that is peaking at the right time and they continue rolling here. 4* EASTERN WASHINGTON +1.5

3-Unit Play. #626. Take Wright State -4.5 over Detroit Mercy (Tuesday @ 7pm est)
We roll with Wright State here. You have a 17-14 and 22-11 teams hooking up here, Detroit won 77-74 last time, can Wright State step up here that is the question? Wright State won prior to that, so these two teams have split this year but I think Wright State gets the better edge here. Detroit has won back/back games coming in here, Wright State only lost by 4 to Cal and played significantly well against elite teams so with them having a little revenge here and I know Detroit is a good team that is on the rise but Wright State is a top 70 team in 2 point field goals and Detroit is outside the top 290 in 2 point field goals so it does make sense here.

Take #616 Oregon (-4) over Maryland
*5 EST
Oregon won the regular season meeting at Maryland by 10 and held the Terps on their home floor to 54 points. One thing I look at in tourney games is coaches, and Dana Altman is a great Tourney coach. Yes, both these teams are going nowhere, the Ducks a big disappointment this year, but Oregon is the better team of the two and Maryland has dropped their last 4 in a row and have the worst offense in the Big 10 and second to worst on defense in efficiency ratings. The sum of all parts is greater for the Ducks.
2 Units
Take #306554 UMBC (-8.5) over U Mass Lowell
6 EST
Two wins by the red hot UMBC Retrievers by 20+ points in the regular season. UMBC has also ripped off 10 straight wins. The American East Semi’s here and UMBC sits atop at stat categories, and Ace Valentine for UMBC is the best player on the floor. I have UMBC -12 on a neutral floor and honestly I think they pull away late and win by an easy double digit margin.
2 Units
Take #627 Siena (+3.5) over Merrimack
*9 EST
I said back in early November that the Siena Saints under 2nd year HC Gerry McNamara would be dancing well into March. They have a senior laden lineup who has been together for over 3.5-4 years now, and that is a true rarity these days. Senior Guards 6’6 Gavin Doty and MAAC POY 6’3 Justice Shoats are ready to rise to the moment tonight at the famed Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ over the Merrimack Warriors. Merrimack is a very good basketball team, and they are perhaps the best mid Major in America while playing at home. But this game is not home, and Siena is equally as talented and well coached. Catching this many points is a nice little gift, and we are all over it- The Saints come marching in tonight in Atlantic City as they punch their ticket in my opinion, take the free points with Siena.
3 Units
Take #632 Portland State (-2.5) over Montana
*9 EST
There is a lot to like about the Vikings of Portland State this year at 21-10, and 14-4 in the Big Sky. They are now just two more wins, and 80 minutes away from taking their program dancing for the first time in its NCAA D1 history. Portland State played (shot) their worst game of the season back in early January; and still only loss by 3 on the road to this Montana team. Major revenge spot here, with literally everything they have ever worked for one the line tonight.
I see Portland State pulling away from the Grizzlies of Montana mid 2nd half. Former ESPN Top 100 recruits/guards 6’6 Terri Miller and 6’5 Jaylin Henderson average 18.9 and 20.3 ppg each respectively- that’s #1 and #2 in the Conference. They are big, they are athletic, they can see over you, they can defend, and obviously they know how to fill it up. Take the #1 seeded Portland State to get the job done for us here tonight tonight over the #5 seed Montana for the right to go to the Big Sky Championship game tomorrow night, and then onto the Big Dance.
2 Units
Take #608 Colorado (-1.5) over Oklahoma State
*9:30 EST
I really like the Buffaloes of Colorado here tonight in this Big 12 Tournament opener over the Cowboys of Oklahoma State. Oklahoma State does not score points, they do not play fast, and they completely disappear on the defensive end for several possessions at a time. They are also just 2-8 in their last 10 SU, while Colorado is now 16-4 in their last 20 as betting favorites.
Colorado has much better guard play as well, and that’s an area where Oklahoma State has been decimated by injuries. Colorado has been extremely competitive in the past two months of the season, but cannot be said for Oklahoma State- this is a no brainer here and I’m really pleasantly surprised this line is not much higher, so we will take the Buffaloes in the Big 12 Tournament nightcap.

4-Unit Play: #604 Cincinnati -11-110 over Utah (Tuesday, March 10, 2026, 3:00pm ET)
Take Cincinnati ATS as my top college basketball pick for Tuesday afternoon. This pick falls into one of my top college basketball systems and I really like Cincinnati in this neutral setting. Cincinnati is hands down the superior team here and I do expect them to shoot a very high percentage against Utah. This is a Utah team that has really struggled and they are coming off a blowout loss against Baylor losing 101-75 and before that a blow-out loss at home against Colorado and now they face an even better Cincinnati team. Cincinnati has held opponents to shooting just 41.6% against them over all the season including just 31.7% from beyond the arc and I do expect them to step up defensively in this game here Tuesday. Cincinnati has held opponents to just 67.7 points per game against them over all this season which ranks 28 defensively in the country. Play Cincinnati ATS

4-Unit Play: Take 627 Siena +3.5 over Merrimack (9 p.m., Tuesday, March 10)
Ever heard of The Tortoise and the Hare? Well, meet the tortoise and the tortoise. Both teams play extremely slow and deliberate and both meetings this season went to the wire with Merrimack coming away with the regular season sweep. Siena lost by four at home and lost in OT on the road, a game they led with less than 40-seconds to go in regulation. Merrimack does not shoot well and they’re horrendous on the glass, ranked 339th in offensive rebounding percentage and dead last, 365th on defense. Look for Siena to stave off the season sweep. I’m taking the points with Siena. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

4-Unit Play - (601) Baylor/Arizona State OVER 152.5 -110 (3/10 @ 12:30PM EST) This number makes no sense to me. I appreciate its tournament time and this is a neutral court game, but Baylor rank 23rd in offensive rating, but 122nd in defensive rating. Arizona State will push tempo and should have opportunities to get hot from the outside. The previous head-to-head went under the posted total of 158.5 with a final score of 73-68. The market has drastically over-reacted in our opinion. Value on the over.
4-Unit Play - (617) Penn State/Northwestern OVER 143.5 -110 (3/10 @ 7:30PM EST) Penn are 18-13 to the over this season. This game went over 148.5 in late January as Northwestern torched from the outside. Will that happen again? I don't know. It seems unlikely, but Penn State rank 363rd in defensive 3P%. In actual fact, they have one of the worst defenses in the nation. They will have to push tempo and rely on their offense here (which ranks inside the T100). Time will tell, but we don't believe this number should be this low based solely on time of season.

3-Unit Play. Take #306551 Mercyhurst (+5.5) over LIU-Brooklyn. (7pm, Tuesday, March 10)
By process of Mercyhurst’s elevation to Division I just two years ago, they are not eligible to represent the NEC in the NCAA Tournament this year. They knew that coming in, and they still found their way to the title game. There is a lot of pride that will come with tonight’s performance, which is their last of the year. LIU Brooklyn also knew that coming in. While they’d love to hang another conference banner, we have to question their true focus in a game like this.
2-Unit Play. Take #623 Monmouth (+4.5) over Hofstra. (7pm, Tuesday, March 10)
These are the two hottest teams in the Colonial and with The Mouth scoring almost five points more per game during their last ten, we're valuing the points in what should be a tight contest.
Best of Luck - Strike Point Sports

4-Unit Play. Take #608 Colorado (-125) Over Oklahoma State (9:30p.m, Tuesday, March 10th)
Parsa Fallah is out for Oklahoma State with a knee injury, but the Cowboys looked good on Saturday without him, as they gave Houston all they wanted, and they came up short, but they led the entire game until about 10 minutes left. Colorado comes off the loss to Arizona; no shame in that, and they actually only lost by 10 points, which isn't terrible. Remember though, the Buffaloes beat the Cowboys 83-69 earlier this season, and we think we'll see more of the same, as Colorado will be motivated, and they are the better team.

5 Unit: CBB Take #606 BYU (-10.5) over Kansas State (-110) (7:00p.m, Tuesday, March 10th)
We’ve got a Big 12 tournament matchup tonight between the Kansas State Wildcats and the BYU Cougars men's basketball. BYU comes into this game off a solid 82–76 win over the Texas Tech Red Raiders at home. The Cougars started the season red hot, though they cooled off a bit down the stretch, going 4–6 in their last ten games. Still, they’ve shown flashes of the offense that made them dangerous earlier in the year. For Kansas State, things have been even tougher. The Wildcats are just 2–8 in their last ten games, including a 104–85 loss to the Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball in their most recent outing. Road struggles have been a major issue for them all season, with Kansas State sitting at just 1–10 away from home. That’s a big concern heading into a neutral-site tournament game where consistency and confidence matter. BYU has the scoring ability and the momentum from their recent win, and they know the West Virginia Mountaineers are waiting for the winner of this matchup. I expect BYU to come out aggressive and set the tone early. Look for the Cougars to control this game from the opening tip and make a statement in the tournament. Lay the points with BYU tonight.

The market has drastically over-reacted in our opinion. Value on the over.4-Unit Play - (617) Penn State/Northwestern OVER 143.5 -110 (3/10 @ 7:30PM EST) Penn are 18-13 to the over this season. This game went over 148.5 in late January as Northwestern torched from the outside. Will that happen again? I don't know. It seems unlikely, but Penn State rank 363rd in defensive 3P%. In actual fact, they have one of the worst defenses in the nation. They will have to push tempo and rely on their offense here (which ranks inside the T100). Time will tell, but we don't believe this number should be this low based solely on time of season.

3-Unit Play. Take #306551 Mercyhurst (+5.5) over LIU-Brooklyn. (7pm, Tuesday, March 10)By process of Mercyhurst’s elevation to Division I just two years ago, they are not eligible to represent the NEC in the NCAA Tournament this year. They knew that coming in, and they still found their way to the title game. There is a lot of pride that will come with tonight’s performance, which is their last of the year. LIU Brooklyn also knew that coming in. While they’d love to hang another conference banner, we have to question their true focus in a game like this.
2-Unit Play. Take #623 Monmouth (+4.5) over Hofstra. (7pm, Tuesday, March 10)
These are the two hottest teams in the Colonial and with The Mouth scoring almost five points more per game during their last ten, we're valuing the points in what should be a tight contest.
Best of Luck - Strike Point Sports

4-Unit Play. Take #608 Colorado (-125) Over Oklahoma State (9:30p.m, Tuesday, March 10th)Parsa Fallah is out for Oklahoma State with a knee injury, but the Cowboys looked good on Saturday without him, as they gave Houston all they wanted, and they came up short, but they led the entire game until about 10 minutes left. Colorado comes off the loss to Arizona; no shame in that, and they actually only lost by 10 points, which isn't terrible. Remember though, the Buffaloes beat the Cowboys 83-69 earlier this season, and we think we'll see more of the same, as Colorado will be motivated, and they are the better team.

5 Unit: CBB Take #606 BYU (-10.5) over Kansas State (-110) (7:00p.m, Tuesday, March 10th)We’ve got a Big 12 tournament matchup tonight between the Kansas State Wildcats and the BYU Cougars men's basketball. BYU comes into this game off a solid 82–76 win over the Texas Tech Red Raiders at home. The Cougars started the season red hot, though they cooled off a bit down the stretch, going 4–6 in their last ten games. Still, they’ve shown flashes of the offense that made them dangerous earlier in the year. For Kansas State, things have been even tougher. The Wildcats are just 2–8 in their last ten games, including a 104–85 loss to the Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball in their most recent outing. Road struggles have been a major issue for them all season, with Kansas State sitting at just 1–10 away from home. That’s a big concern heading into a neutral-site tournament game where consistency and confidence matter. BYU has the scoring ability and the momentum from their recent win, and they know the West Virginia Mountaineers are waiting for the winner of this matchup. I expect BYU to come out aggressive and set the tone early. Look for the Cougars to control this game from the opening tip and make a statement in the tournament. Lay the points with BYU tonight.
