James Madison +9.5 over William & Mary (loss)
Dane Fischer is doing a fantastic job in his first year with the Tribe of William & Mary, but I don’t think this team should be such big favorites tonight. James Madison has played this team tight over the past few seasons and when it comes to raw talent these teams are pretty similar. The Dukes have been a little sloppy on the defensive end this year, but do have a little bit of a size advantage tonight and bring back a group that is familiar with each other. This line is a bit too high. Take James Madison.

Rotation #615
Towson -5.5 over Elon (win)
When you take a road favorite you have to be playing a team that is better in all areas of the game. Elon is basketball team in transition right now. The Phoenix have a new first year head coach and don’t have the talent to match up with the Tigers just yet. Towson is the bigger, more talented and experienced basketball team and should have no problem winning on the road tonight. Take Towson.

Rotation #623
Green Bay -3 over Cleveland State (win)
Here is another road favorite that is better in all areas tonight. Cleveland State is breaking in a brand new head coach in Dennis Gates. Green Bay’s head coach has been with the program for 5 years and has coached at many other big programs. Green Bay has better shooters and are by far the more experienced basketball team heading into tonight’s contest. The Phoenix are vulnerable on Defense, but Cleveland State just does not have the bodies on offense to put up a lot of points. I don’t think they can take advantage. This team lacks the shooting to stay in the game with a high powered offense. Take Green Bay.
