Play: Xavier/Villanova under 148 -110
Time: 7 p.m. ET
Reasoning: This is the highest point total the Musketeers have faced all season. They went over the highest total they faced so far -- 147.5 -- earlier this season, but overtime was needed. In their last game against Seton Hall, they scored just 60 points and shot only 1-of-11 on threes in the second half. Nevertheless, Xavier has a good defense and allows just 67.5 ppg. This may be a blowout by the Wildcats, but the safer play is the under. And if it is a blowout, that should only help the under. Both teams are excellent in rebounding and they are above average in steals.
Play: Alabama A&M -6 -109
Time: 9 p.m. ET
Reasoning: Prairie View A&M is terrible on defense, especially on the road. The Panthers have been outscored by 20 ppg away from home. They allow all opponents to shoot 48.2 percent from the field and 36.7 percent on threes. The Bulldogs shoot 47.7 percent at home and 39.3 percent from behind the arc. Alabama A&M guards Jeremy Crutcher, Arthur Capers and Tyler Davis should go crazy on threes. The Bulldogs also have the rebounding advantage.
Record: 13-5-1
