Richmond vs. Auburn
12:00 PM Eastern
Richmond entered Saturday ranked 42nd in the country in points allowed per possession in games played away from home and fourth in fewest turnovers per possession in road games. Auburn is 119th in points allowed per possession.
Pick: Richmond +28 (Greg’s Handicap: Richmond +24.5)
TCU vs. Vanderbilt
12:30 PM Eastern
Vanderbilt is making only 30.5% of their 3-point attempts overall. TCU is shooting 24.6% from 3-point range in games played away from home and entered Saturday ranked 349th in points scored per possession in road games.
Pick: TCU vs. Vanderbilt Under 151.5 (Greg’s Handicapped Total: 145.5)
St. Peter’s vs. Iona
1:00 PM Eastern
Only six teams in the country are scoring fewer points per possession at home than Iona this season. Iona is also ranked 357th in turnovers per possession. Meanwhile, St. Peter’s is shooting 36.7% from 3-point range and is in the top 60 in offensive rebound percentage on missed shots.
Pick: St. Peter’s +1 (Greg’s Handicap: St. Peter’s -5.5)
Harvard vs. New Hampshire
1:00 PM Eastern
Both teams are struggling offensively. Harvard is ranked 282nd nationally in points scored per possession, while New Hampshire is ranked 353rd. However, New Hampshire has been a much better defensive team at home, allowing 18.9 points fewer per 100 possessions at home than on the road.
Pick: New Hampshire +9.5 (Greg’s Handicap: New Hampshire +4)
Colgate vs. Northeastern
2:00 PM Eastern
Colgate entered Saturday ranked 303rd or worse in both points scored and points allowed per possession. Northeastern’s defense ranks 53rd in points allowed per possession, and Colgate’s main forward, Jeff Woodward, is still dealing with an injury, leaving their post depth depleted.
Pick: Northeastern -7.5 (Greg’s Handicap: Northeastern -12.5)
Rice vs. Texas State
3:00 PM Eastern
Texas State’s 46.7% 3-point shooting at home is likely unsustainable, but they entered Saturday allowing the second-fewest points per possession at home. They face a Rice offense ranked 322nd in turnovers per possession.
Pick: Texas State -3.5 (Greg’s Handicap: Texas State -6.5)
Dartmouth vs. UIC
5:00 PM Eastern
Dartmouth entered Saturday ranked 272nd in points scored per possession but has guarded the perimeter well on the road, allowing opponents to shoot just 27.7% from 3-point range. UIC, at home, is shooting only 30.9% from 3-point range.
Pick: Dartmouth vs. UIC Under 153 (Greg’s Handicapped Total: 145)
UCLA vs. Oregon
6:00 PM Eastern
UCLA entered Saturday allowing the fewest points per possession of any team in the country. They also play a slow tempo, ranking 266th in total possessions per game, and are averaging the 16th-fewest points per possession in road games this season.
Pick: UCLA vs. Oregon Under 141 (Greg’s Handicapped Total: 134.5)
Duke vs. Louisville
6:00 PM Eastern
Louisville’s 27.3% 3-point shooting is due for positive regression. Their defense continues to keep them competitive, entering Saturday ranked 13th in the nation in turnovers forced per possession.
Pick: Louisville +9.5 (Greg’s Handicap: Louisville +5.5)
