Xavier vs. Villanova – 12:00 PM Eastern

Villanova ranks 18th in the country in points per possession on offense, with their 39.5% 3-point shooting ranking 5th nationally. However, they are also 167th in points per possession allowed on defense. Xavier ranks 18th in points per possession, with their 38.3% 3-point shooting on offense. Both teams struggle to guard the 3-point line, with Xavier ranking 141st in opponent 3-point shooting percentage and Villanova 206th.

Pick: Xavier vs. Villanova Over 141.5 (Greg’s Handicapped Total: 143.5)


Arizona State vs. Oklahoma State – 2:00 PM Eastern

Oklahoma State is having issues protecting the ball, ranking 295th in turnovers per possession on offense and 241st in points per possession. Arizona State, led by Jayden Quaintance and his 2.9 blocks per game, ranks 33rd in the nation in blocked shot percentage on defense. They are also 84th in 3-point shooting percentage at 35.6%.

Pick: Arizona State +1.5 (Greg’s Handicap: Arizona State -2.5)


Temple vs. Memphis – 2:00 PM Eastern

Temple’s top scorer, Jamal Mashburn Jr., did not play in the team’s double overtime loss to South Florida on Thursday. Even if he plays on Sunday, there is no telling how close to 100% he might be against a Memphis team that looks improved on defense, allowing 71 points or fewer in four of their past six games. On offense, Memphis ranks 316th in turnovers per possession.

Pick: Temple vs. Memphis Under 156.5 (Greg’s Handicapped Total: 152.5)


Wichita State vs. South Florida – 2:00 PM Eastern

South Florida is allowing teams to shoot only 30% from 3-point range at home this season, ranking 69th in the country. Wichita State is 255th in opponent 3-point shooting percentage, with teams making 36.6% of their 3-point shots away from home against them. Additionally, Wichita State’s offense is shooting just 29.8% from 3-point range, ranking 333rd in the country.

Pick: South Florida -1 (Greg’s Handicap: South Florida -5.5)


Massachusetts vs. La Salle – 2:00 PM Eastern

Massachusetts ranks 273rd in the country in points per possession on offense, and their 25.9% 3-point shooting away from home ranks 356th in the country. La Salle ranks 40th in fewest turnovers per possession and 100th in home offensive rebound percentage.

Pick: La Salle PK (Greg’s Handicap: La Salle -3.5)
