NCAAB: Thursday's 8 p.m. ET play

Play: Belmont -2 -110

Time: 8 p.m. ET

Reasoning: The Bruins lost the first meeting by 12 on Feb. 5, but that's because Eastern Kentucky shot 57.1% overall and 52.2% on threes and because Belmont turned the ball over 18 times. The Bruins usually take care of the ball better, and they are well above average shooting overall and on threes (40.8% at home). The Colonels are well below average in overall defense and from behind the arc (39.3%). Belmont should control the boards like it did in the first game (28-20) and EKU gets outrebounded by nearly seven per contest. The Colonels are better at the line, but they don't get there as often and only make 1.3 more per game than the Bruins.

Record: 287-206-10 (58.2%)
Bankroll: +320.27%
