Loyola Chicago
@
SLU
Saint Louis
-22.5
Under 156.5

UL
Louisiana
@
JMU
James Madison
-6.5
Louisiana +6.5
LOSS
Louisiana's pace and scoring efficiency exploits James Madison's offensive struggles, and the line move from -4.5 to -6.5 is a classic overreaction to a bad road record without context.

MD
Maryland
@
WIS
Wisconsin

Eastern Illinois
@
SIUE
SIU Edwardsville
-4.5
SIU Edwardsville -5.5
LOSS

-11.5
@

Northwestern
Purdue -11.5

@

-6.5

Saint Joseph's
@
DAV
Davidson
-3.5
Saint Joseph's +3.5
WIN

Duquesne
@
URI
Rhode Island
-1.5
Duquesne +1.5
LOSS
Duquesne's superior shooting (44.5% FG, 36.6% 3P) and backcourt duo are being overlooked against a Rhode Island team that's lost five of six and can't score.

North Florida
@
WGA
West Georgia
-2.5
