7* Big East GOY
#686 7* Providence Friars -1.5 (7:00 est) CBS Sports Network
Lay this very low number with Providence here since the Friars are very strong in the conference sitting at 12-2 SU and sitting at 22-3 SU overall. Xavier is a good team but they are under .500 SU in Big East play and they only have 1 SU win in their last 5 games. Providence already had a win over Xavier this season and they are at home here. Lay this surprisingly low number here with Providence. Thank you and good luck.

RUTGERS @ MICHIGAN | 02/23 | 7:00 PM EST
RUTGERS +5.5
ANALYSIS: The Scarlett Knights have been playing great as they are 5-2 SU and 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven games. This will be the Wolverines first game with Juwan Howard after the fiasco in Madison on Sunday. The Scarlett Knights won the first matchup as they shot 11 for 23 from behind the three point line. I am surprised to see the Wolverines laying this many points against a team as hot as the Knights. Take the points.
+170 5-3-1 IN LAST 9 CBB ATS PICKS
2:08 AM
CREIGHTON @ ST. JOHN'S | 02/23 | 6:30 PM EST
CREIGHTON +5
ANALYSIS: The Bluejays dominated the Red Storm in their first matchup winning by 23 points. However, Bluejays’ Arthur Kaluma scored 20 points in that game and he will likely be sidelined in this game with a knee injury that has kept him out the last four games. In the four games without Kaluma, the Bluejays haven’t missed a beat as they are 4-0 SU and ATS. The Red Storm have been playing well, but they have not dominated a good team in this stretch. This is too many points for them to be laying. I expect the Bluejays to keep this game close and cover this spread.

DAVIDSON @ DUQUESNE | 02/23 | 7:00 PM EST
DAVIDSON -8.5
ANALYSIS: I am going to just keep fading Duquesne, it has been profitable the last few weeks. Now they have to face Davidson who has the 12th best offensive efficiency in the nation. The Dukes just lost by 21 at home to George Washington, and their offense ranks around 250th. Even Fordham beat this team by 11. Models have this one around 11.5 but I think it has potential to be bigger. Either way, theres great value here at 8.5. The Wildcats should win by three possessions. Lay the points.

WINNIPEG @ DALLAS | 02/23 | 7:30 PM EST
DALLAS -150
ANALYSIS: This is really nothing more than backing the home team Wednesday. Dallas is 17-7-1 at home and probably eager to get back on the ice after an embarrassing and potential playoff-wrecking loss in Arizona on Sunday. The Stars are healthy. The Jets are 9-10-7 on the road and still missing a few guys. Winnipeg has lost its past five in Dallas.

WEST VIRGINIA @ IOWA ST. | 02/23 | 7:00 PM EST
IOWA ST. -5
ANALYSIS: The Mountaineers have lost 11 of 12, the win coming by 16 points over Iowa State in Morgantown, West Va. I like the Cyclones to get payback tonight. Despite their 5-9 conference record, the Cyclones are 35th in the NET rankings and 29th according to KenPom., as they boast eight Quad-1 wins in an amazing turnaround season. This team went winless in the Big 12 last season, finishing 2-22 overall. Look for the feel-good story to continue tonight against a West Virginia team that shoots 41 percent overall (298th nationally) and has a minus-4.4 rebounding margin in conference play.

BUFFALO @ MONTREAL | 02/23 | 7:30 PM EST
MONTREAL -113
ANALYSIS: I was going to let John Bollman have this game to himself but there's a non-COVID bug hitting the Sabres, which will apparently knock out Kyle Okposo (28 points) and Victor Olofsson (24 points). That's enough for me to back the Habs, on their longest winning streak of the season (three), at home. Young Montreal winger Cole Caufield has six points (3 goals, 3 assists) in his last three appearances and is a future star.

ALBANY @ MAINE | 02/23 | 7:00 PM EST
ALBANY -4.5
ANALYSIS: A revenge spot exists in the America East as Albany visits Maine. The Black Bears upset the Great Danes on Feb. 9 as 11-point underdogs. Look for a better outing this time from Albany against a Maine team that is being led by interim coach Jai Steadman. Take the Great Danes as they match their season high with a third consecutive victory.
12:32 PM
RADFORD @ LONGWOOD | 02/23 | 7:00 PM EST
RADFORD +8
ANALYSIS: Longwood has run away with the Big South's North Division title with a 13-1 record. It has done so by managing to win close games. In fact, the Lancers' last three victories have been decided by fewer than eight points. Look for Radford, which always has given Longwood problems, to have another competitive game. Take the Highlanders and the points.

12:27 PM
THE CITADEL @ MERCER | 02/23 | 7:00 PM EST
MERCER -6.5
ANALYSIS: A young dynamic team in the Southern Conference is Mercer. As with most young teams, a wall of downward play occurs. The Bears are just 4-7 in their last 11 games, as their defense has been a huge letdown. They’ll be able to offset their defensive woes against a Citadel team that also lacks sound half-court defense. Take the Bears as they get a decisive win.

WYOMING @ COLORADO ST. | 02/23 | 9:00 PM EST
WYOMING +6.5
ANALYSIS: These are two really gritty tough teams that mirror each other. They both play stellar defense and take smart shots, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see both teams make the Sweet 16. Both teams have had some hiccups lately. Wyoming did not cover its last two and lost outright at New Mexico while Colorado State comes off its second loss to UNLV. The Cowboys won in overtime at home to beat the Rams three weeks ago. I took the points with Wyoming.
1:51 PM
XAVIER @ PROVIDENCE | 02/23 | 7:00 PM EST
PROVIDENCE -120
ANALYSIS: Xavier is just 4-4 in true road games with a much less aggressive defense than the Musketeers show at home. They’ve lost four of their last five and are 2-4 ATS in the last six. They’ve dropped to 7-8 in Big East play, but are expected to be one of seven teams to make the NCAA Tournament. Providence has not covered its last three and guard Al Durham is questionable. But Providence has won nine of its last 10 and covered the last four meetings with Xavier. Take Providence on the money line Wednesday.

BUFFALO @ MONTREAL | 02/23 | 7:30 PM EST
MONTREAL -110
ANALYSIS: Habs have looked like a completely different team these past three games winning all three including home wins against the Maple Leafs and Blues. Sabres have lost 6 of their last 8 games and they are just 2-4 straight up since the break. Sabres could be without a bunch of key players including Rasmus Dahlin. I don’t know how long this good play by the Habs will last, but I am willing to take them on a pick ‘em line at home and find out.
+220 11-8 IN LAST 19 BUF ML PICKS
10:43 AM
WINNIPEG @ DALLAS | 02/23 | 7:30 PM EST
DALLAS -150
ANALYSIS: Stars have won 4 of their last 6 games and they are 17-7-1 at home this season. Jets are a conundrum right now because they seem to always win games that they have no business being in. Either way, they are still just 9-10-7 on the road this season and the Jets are a bit banged up while the Stars are healthy. Take the Stars at home.
