Play: Bucknell -5.5 -110
Time: 2 p.m. ET
Reasoning: The Bison are 8-3 at home and Holy Cross is 1-8 on the road. Buckenell has played a much tougher schedule. It shoots 39.1% from behind the arc, 45.9% over the last five games. The Crusaders allow 40.1% shooting on threes, 54.5% over their last five. Holy Cross averages just 56.0 ppg away from home. It also shoots just 30.8% from the perimeter and that figure is only 28.9% on the road. The Bison also have the rebounding edge.
Play: Rider -2.5 -110
Time: 2 p.m. ET
Reasoning: My power ratings say the Broncs should be favored by five points. Manhattan has played the 294th-toughest schedule and it lost at home to Rider on Jan. 18. The Broncs play excellent defense, take care of the ball and have a rebounding advantage. Rider is well above average on the offensive glass as well. At home the Broncs allow just 59.1 ppg, 38.6% shooting from the field and 30.7% on three-pointers and they outrebound opponents by nearly six per game.
Record: 271-204-10 (57.1%)
