CBB Best Bet: Seton Hall -2.5 over Marquette

I like the Pirates on Tuesday. Seton Hall is well-suited to cover the 2.5-point spread as road favorites against Marquette on Tuesday night. The Pirates are entering the matchup with a superior 11-2 record and the nation’s 6th-ranked scoring defense (allowing just 62.2 PPG). While the Pirates excel at suffocating opponents, Marquette has struggled significantly against the spread this season, posting a dismal 2-6 ATS record at home, an 0-4-1 ATS mark as an underdog, and a 1-6 ATS record following a loss. Seton Hall’s balanced attack, led by A.J. Staton-McCray (13.1 PPG), should exploit a Golden Eagles defense that ranks 227th nationally in points allowed (77.3 PPG). With Marquette mired in a four-game losing streak and failing to cover in their last five outings, the Pirates’ defensive discipline should prove to be the difference-maker. Final score projection: SETON HALL 75, MARQUETTE 68.

CBB Best Bet: Wisconsin -21.5 over Milwaukee

I’m backing the Badgers in this one. Wisconsin is a strong candidate to cover the 21.5-point spread as home favorites against Milwaukee on Tuesday night, supported by their consistent dominance at the Kohl Center. The Badgers boast an impressive 5-2 ATS record as the home team and a 6-4 ATS mark as a favorite this season, demonstrating their ability to pull away from inferior opponents. Wisconsin also excels when given time to prepare, holding a 3-2 ATS record when playing on 4+ days of rest this year.

Offensively, the Badgers rank among the nation’s best in efficiency, led by the high-scoring duo of Nick Boyd and John Blackwell. Defensively, they face a Milwaukee team that struggles significantly on the road and ranks near the bottom of the country in points allowed (80.0 PPG). Coming off a 27-point blowout win over Central Michigan, Wisconsin’s fresh legs and superior depth should overwhelm the Panthers early and often on the way to a blowout victory. Final score projection: WISCONSIN 89, MILWAUKEE 63.
