Before they end up meeting in the finals, it likely won't be Louisiana and Georgia State. As Louisiana won their last meeting on January 29th, 82-72, Bull team struggling down the home stretch. Louisiana has lost 5-6. Georgia states lost 9-10. Their coach Jonas Hayes is on the hot seat. They have a 120 game since 2018-19 for them. The over is hit their last four meetings. 13-5 since 2016. Jonas Hayes, the head coach for the Panthers, is 5-3 to the under on a neutral court. 18-6 though to the over off of a home loss. I think the neutral court outweighs things there. I like the under 132.5 with Georgia State and Lafayette playing at a neutral down in Pensacola. Sometimes we see that with these neutral site games where it can impact these teams. The atmosphere isn't all that great. A little bit hard to get juiced up and also getting used to the new sightlines. Give me under 132.5 in Louisiana and Georgia State to kick off the Sun Belt tournament there. Staying in that league, number 14 Louisiana

Monroe is taking on number 11 Old Dominion. Monarchs lay in 10 and a hook, total 159.5. Louisiana Monroe is bad, man. 117 in Sun Belt play. ODU ranked bottom half in their league in both offensive and defensive efficiency. They do have some guys in the back court who can get buckets, battle 14.5 points per game, Shaw 17.1 points per game. The over three in one in their meeting since 2023. I think if I was looking at this one, I would lean to the over 159.5 but I don't really like either offense enough to back them. So I'm going to stay away from that one. The last meeting, Louisiana Monroe did win outright. 85.79. They're now catching 10.5 points in this one. So make that one make sense for you when you look at some of these smaller leagues and the action in them. Let's now go to the Patriot League where a lot of steam coming in on Navy, open minus 120 to win it. They're now minus 180. First you were John Perry, former assistant there who got promoted this past offseason, 25 wins, 17 and one in Patriot League play for them,

but they're a senior laden team. Even at minus 180, you should probably think about betting that. I might actually bet that before I get out of here tonight. I do think Navy is going to take care of business winning this league as they have the coach of the year in John Perry and they have the player of the year in Austin, Ben Yeni. But their games in the Patriot League coming up on Tuesday feature number 10, Holy Cross taken on Lafayette. Lafayette swept the season series. 74, 55, 86, 83. And Lafayette is laying three and a half, totals 141 and a half. Holy Cross, back to back, 10th place finishes for them, lost their third leading score back in February. I think they're going to struggle here in this matchup with Lafayette. Lafayette's got a couple guys who can score. They return, Mark Butler, who wasn't available in last year's tournament. He was their lead. He is their third leading score now to go with Caleb Williams, 15.6 points, Andrew Phillips, 14.1 points. Lafayette is seven and two against the spread since 2023. The over is on a six and two run in this series between these two teams. I am looking at a game here where Holy Cross is Dave

Paulson, 10 and seven to the under as a road dog of six or less, 11 and seven to the under on the on the road when the totals in the 140s. Lafayette, Mike McGarby, 10 and seven covering the number as a home favorite of six or less, three and one to the under in the month of March. Yeah, this is tough man. I think I like Lafayette here laying the three and a half. I think they just have more options to score with. I'll lay the three and a half with Lafayette taken on Holy Cross. Army is at Bucknell. Army won an overtime at Bucknell. Bucknell won last week at Army by two. So this is a tough one to figure out. Bucknell's laying two and a half in this game, totals 145 and a half. By the way, in the Patriot League, they're playing at home in these games. So they're not at neutral site like we talked about with the Sun Belt before. Army lost seven of eight to end the season. Bucknell's lost six of seven. Bucknell's really bad offensively. Army's not that much better, but they are slightly better here. But Bucknell's on a six and two against the spread run. The last eight meanings, the under's on a five and three run. Bucknell had

coach John Griff in 11 and three to the under at home when the total is in the one forties. I lean under 146, which you can get the Superbook right now, but that's just the lean under 146 in this matchup. I am going to stay away from Army and Bucknell. And then finally, the Horizon League, we will have their second day of action. Purdue Fort Wayne at Green Bay. That's the sixth and five seeds respectively. Green Bay, but one, both regular season meetings between these two teams. Fort Wayne, three and five down the stretch. They have a good back court trio, though. Had not conference leading score at 20.6 points per game. 36% from three. Bucknell, Stevenson shoots almost 39% beyond the Andre Craig Jr. 14 points per game for him. Green Bay finished the regular season five and two. They were four and 28 a year ago. This is year two of Doug Gottlieb. They have a pretty shallow roster, but they do have four guys scoring in double figures. Three guys shooting at least 40% beyond the arc. That is the great mitigator for them in these matchups. Looking at this number, you know what? Why don't we have a

number? Why don't I have a number this one? Hang on. Let me pull up a different odd screen. That is very, very weird here. Give me a second. I don't know why they weren't available. Six and a half is the spread. Total is 146 and a half. I would lean under 146 here. Fort Wayne had coach John Kaufman, nine and six to the under when playing in the conference tournament. He's experienced there. I lean under, but I don't really love either defense. I'm going to stay away from that game there. Now let's go to some of the big boys and regular season action as they have a couple games left on their schedule. Number 23 Tennessee is at South Carolina coming up on Tuesday's action. And currently that number is eight and a half. Tennessee favored on the road. 143 and a half is the total. I did bet under 144. It's circa just two segments ago. I like the under here. Rick Barnes, his defense travels. I think South Carolina is really going to struggle to score the ball.

And Tennessee likes to play at that slow pace. South Carolina actually plays at a slightly slower pace pace. Barnes is 29 and 15 to the under on the road when the totals in the 140s. He's 36 and 30 to the under as a road favorite. Lamont Paris, six and one to the under as a home dog of six and a half to 12. Everything tells me under 144 between Tennessee and South Carolina. I'm going to go over in Alabama and Georgia. Right now the tighter laying one and a half on the road total 179. It's a high total. But Alabama's involved in Georgia also likes to get up and go. Georgia 12th and pace. Alabama 7th and pace. They both like high possession games. Alabama's 3 and 0 against spread the last three meetings. NATO's 20 and 8 to the over. As a road dog of six or less, when you play the tide, you have to play their style of fight. And that means a lot of up and down up tempo action. Give me the over 179 there. TCU is taking on Texas Tech, who's three and no without JT Toppen right now, which is a story in college basketball. Is this a spot to finally fade them?

I don't know if I'm willing to catch the 10 with TCU, although I'm thinking about it. Instead, give me under 148 here at Cerca on this contest. TCU's on a three game win streak. They won six to seven. Texas Tech also on a six game win streak. They've also won six of seven. But Jamie Dixon, 15 and 12 to the under as a road dog of six and a half to 12. He's not he's not great at covering the numbers. A road dog of six and a half to 12. Grant McCasteland. He is five and two against the spread as a home favorite of six and a half to 12 there. I just think we get a slower pace game with TCU as a double digit dog here. Texas Tech also doesn't really play at a quick pace. I anticipate the TCU defense to try and keep this red raiders offense. Now that we've seen film post JT Toppen's injury, I'll be able to slow them down just a bit here. So I'm going under 148 in that matchup. I'm laying three and a half with North Carolina taken on Clemson. Clemson was on a four game skid, finally won over the weekend at home against Louisville. Now North Carolina is one three

and a row nine of 11. I know they're banged up, but I don't think that Clemson has the shooters to win on the road in Chapel Hill. North Carolina does not lose at home. Give me the minus three and a half with the tar heels in that game. The next bet I'm on is the over 168 and a half with Oklahoma State at UCF. UCF is a wagon offensively. They shoot the three. They're awesome at home. They'll control the pace of this game. 23 and 17 to the over at home is Johnny Dawkins when he's a home favorite of six and a half to 12. So I'm on the over 168 and a half in that big 12 tilt. So you're listening to this podcast hoping to get an edge, but what if I told you, you're only halfway there.
