Appalachian State vs. Colgate
12:00 PM ET
Colgate is usually a top 60 team in 3-point shooting percentage, but has seen a significant drop-off this season, making only 31.6% of their 3-pointers. Appalachian State should benefit from Colgate’s inability to get second chance opportunities, with Colgate getting an offensive rebound on 17.1% of their missed shots, which ranks 359th in the country.
Appalachian State Moneyline (Greg’s Handicap Appalachian State -4)
Weber State vs. Bowling Green
1:00 PM ET
Bowling Green showed what they were capable of two weeks ago when they held a second-half lead on the road against Michigan State and are doing a good job of not allowing opponents to get an offensive rebound on just 23.5% of their missed shots, which ranks 56th in the country. Weber State is 346th nationally in points allowed on a per possession basis.
Bowling Green +2.5 (Greg’s Handicap Bowling Green -2.5)
Northern Illinois vs. Eastern Illinois
3:00 PM ET
Northern Illinois is having issues across the board, entering Thursday 336th in points scored on a per possession basis and 290th in points allowed on a per possession basis. Eastern Illinois has played well against solid competition, playing DePaul to single digits and forcing overtime in a road game against Northwestern.
Eastern Illinois -2 (Greg’s Handicap Eastern Illinois -6.5)
Tennessee Tech vs. Vanderbilt
3:00 PM ET
Tennessee Tech has already played an SEC team tough on the road, losing to Georgia 83-78 on opening night and faces a Vanderbilt unit that is gambling for turnovers, ranking 46th in the country in turnovers forced per possession, but leave themselves open from the perimeter, ranking 322nd in opponent 3-point shooting percentage.
Tennessee Tech +23.5 (Greg’s Handicap Tennessee Tech+18.5)
George Mason vs James Madison
4:00 PM ET
George Mason is currently averaging 26.4 points per 100 possessions fewer on the road than at home and face a James Madison team that is fifth in the country in defensive rebound percentage, allowing opponents to grab an offensive rebound on just 16.8% of their missed shots.
James Madison +1 (Greg’s Handicap James Madison -4.5)
Holy Cross vs. Virginia
4:00 PM ET
Out of 364 Division I teams, Virginia games are averaging the fewest amount of possessions per game of any team in the country. Holy Cross is just 158th in points scored on a per possession basis, while Virginia’s offense is 235th in points scored per possession
Holy Cross vs. Virginia Under 129.5 (Greg’s Handicapped Total 125)
Duke vs. Seattle
7:00 PM ET
Seattle is 68th in the country in points scored on a per possession basis in road games and their slow style will help them hang within the number, ranking 293rd in total possession per game this season.
Seattle +27.5 (Greg’s Handicap Seattle +21.5)
