1* Jacksonville Dolphins +1.5
Revenge from the only regular season meeting. Since Feb 11th the Dolphins are 3-3, but their losses are by a combined 11 points. They've been very competitive as of late, winning their last two. This tournament is being played in Jacksonville, so they will be sleeping in their own beds. They will certainly have the crowd. Bellarmine can't stop anyone, and just put up 111 on Austin Peay who finished tied atop the ASUN. So regression is expected from the Knights.
1* Stetson Hatters +4.5
Stetson has seen the EKU press once already, in the only meeting this year (EKU win by 12 @ EKU). They should know how to break it, without turning it over, and that is all you have to do to score on EKU. Beat the pressure, and get whatever you want. Stetson shoots the ball from the outside very well, and defend the arc better than anyone in the ASUN. They can certainly pull off this upset, but I'll take the points to be safe.
1* Louisiana/James Madison Under 133.5
The Cajuns are one of the slowest teams in the country, and played last night, in a surprisingly offensive game. JMU will play slow with them, but I'm not sure where the Cajuns points come from. The JMU defense is tops in the Sun Belt when it comes to making you put the ball in the basket. Louisiana comes in at 334th in the country in effective FG%. It appears over 80% of the money so far is on the over in this game, and the total dropped, so that's always a pretty good tell too.
1* Butler Bulldogs -1.5
Senior night, and what is likely Thad Mattas last game as the coach of Butler, I think Hinkle will be ROCKIN. It's already a tough place to play, but tonight should be a little extra. Creighton has burned me many times this year, so I have no problem fading them either. I don't think it's McDermotts fault completely, but the transfers that came in never lived up to expectations for the Jays. This is Creightons last game of the season, and they can only improve their seeding if DePaul loses both of their remaining games. I don't see the motivation for the Jays tonight.
1* Indiana Hoosiers -6.5
I'm playing the alt line of -9.5 @ +138 too. I think this is a smash spot. IU senior night for all 5 starters, and their 6th man. The Hoosiers have dropped 4 straight (3 of them to top 8 KenPom teams), so they are ready to beat the shit out of someone. Assembly Hall will be as loud as its been all year, and the Hoosiers get redemption from their first loss of the year way back in December. Minny is coming off a big UCLA win too.
Evening games coming in a few hours
