    IONA
    -154
    Money Line
    Picked: Mar 5 @ 7:52am

    Analysis

    MAAC Tournament from Atlantic City. Iona finished a game up on Sacred Heart in the RS standings and won at SH by 12 in December in the lone meeting. KenPom ranks the Gaels nearly 50 spots higher. Sometimes it is helpful in these neutral-site tourneys to check a team's road ATS numbers even though it's obviously not a true away game: Iona was 9-5 ATS away and Sacred Heart 8-10 ATS. The Gaels are Top 50 nationally in three-pointers made and three-point defense. They have made 10 or more three-pointers in 16 games and at least eight in eight others. This should probably be closer to -180.

    Spread
    Picked: Mar 5 @ 3:12pm

    Analysis

    The Dukes lost 73-65 at Southern Miss on Jan. 31, but they didn't have Third-Team All-Sun Belt performer Justin McBride. With the 6-7 junior in the lineup, James Madison has won seven of its last eight games. McBride, who earlier played at Oklahoma State and Nevada, averages 15.7 points on 50.4 percent shooting while grabbing 5.6 rebounds per game. He had 20 points, eight rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes in JMU's win Wednesday. Back the Dukes to advance.

    Money Line
    Picked: Mar 5 @ 4:09am

    Analysis

    Not a prediction so much as to entertain myself in a Tankapalooza. Despise the NBA this season. Every spread is -8 or higher, it seems, because a third of the league does not care, and there are only so many care vs. care matchups possible per night. This is the utter opposite of care vs. care, but I will write about it at CBS Sports betting and the newsletter simply for Trae Young's debut. Utah played Wednesday and lost a seventh in a row. Playing in the second of a B2B here allows the Jazz "cover" to basically sit everybody left standing and not get fined by the NBA. The Wizards win by accident with a bit of a Young boost in limited minutes.

    Spread
    Picked: Mar 5 @ 1:41pm

    Analysis

    Navy plays Bucknell in the quarterfinals of the Patriot League Tournament, and they're playing at home. Navy has won 13 games in a row and covered 12 straight. They beat Bucknell by 16 or more in both meetings this season, and I like them to cover this one as well. Bucknell went 10-22 this season, while Navy has covered 20 of its games. They're getting better as the season goes on. Navy to cover.

    N. Marshall
    Under 17.5
    -149
    Points
    Picked: Mar 5 @ 6:03pm

    Analysis

    Getting this line out ASAP as it’s only available on one major book. I’d play this down to 16.5. I would jump on this spot quickly. With Cooper Flagg set to return to the lineup, Marshall is likely to see a significantly less usage.
