6:00 PM Eastern
Delaware vs. Towson
Towson has a big edge on the glass, ranking 66th in rebound percentage, while Delaware is 337th in this category, which falls to 345th in games away from home. Towson’s offense, which ranks 19th in fewest turnovers per possession, should remain efficient against a Delaware defense that is 324th in points per possession allowed. Towson backs that up with a defense that is 80th in points per possession allowed away from home.
Pick: Towson -4.5 (Greg’s Handicap: Towson -7.5)
Texas A&M CC vs. Northwestern State
Northwestern State is 279th in the country in overall opponent 3-point shooting percentage, while Texas A&M CC is 345th in opponent 3-point shooting percentage in games played away from home at 38.8%. Both teams are surrendering plenty of second chances, with Texas A&M CC 239th in opponent offensive rebound percentage. Northwestern State is 302nd, with opponents rebounding 30.7% of their missed shots.
Pick: Texas A&M CC vs. Northwestern State Over 127.5 (Greg’s Handicap: Total 134)

Arkansas State vs. Troy
Troy is second in the country in percentage of missed shots that they grab as an offensive rebound away from home, pulling in 38.3% of their misses. On defense, they rank 31st in turnovers forced per possession away from home, while Arkansas State does not have much of an edge on Troy’s 335th-rated 3-point shooting at 30.3%. Arkansas State ranks 294th. They shoot 30.9% from 3-point range away from home.
Pick: Troy +2 (Greg’s Handicap: Troy -2)
Furman vs. Wofford
Wofford will look to maximize their edge on the boards, ranking 18th in the nation in rebound percentage, while Furman is 181st in this metric. Wofford’s offense is also averaging more points per possession away from home than at home, ranking 28th. Furman’s offense also averages more points per possession away from home, ranking 32nd.

Idaho State vs. Montana State
While Idaho State has an advantage on the glass, ranking 11th in rebound percentage, Montana State’s guard play should dictate this game. Idaho State ranks 340th in opponent 3-point shooting percentage, while Montana State’s guard play is 13th, with teams shooting just 30.1% from 3-point range. They also rank 35th in fewest turnovers committed per possession on offense in games played away from home.
Pick: Montana State +1 (Greg’s Handicap: Montana State -1.5)
9:30 PM Eastern
Youngstown State vs. Cleveland State
Cleveland State ranks 10th in the country in turnovers forced per possession, which should stymie a Youngstown State offense that ranks just 222nd in points per possession. Youngstown State does create second-chance opportunities, rebounding 33.2% of its missed shots (37th in the nation).
Pick: Cleveland State -2 (Greg’s Handicap: Cleveland State -4)
