President’s day hoops
There are four games in tonight’s holiday college basketball action that stand out for me as providing some value:
Xavier (+2.5) at Rhode Island - Xavier has struggled a bit lately, but they have still won seven in a row even if the margin hasn’t been as big as it could be. This is a battle for A-10 supremacy, and I truly believe that Xavier is the better squad. That makes them attractive here.
Austin Peay (+1) at Tennessee State – Austin Peay is the better team by a wide margin, and they are playing reasonably well. The edge isn’t huge here, but it is big enough to make it worth a play.
Texas A&M (+5) at Texas – Texas is playing as well as anyway and they are at home. Texas A&M is great when they are on their game, but they are wildly inconsistent. The value is on the Longhorns.
Gonzaga (-6.5) at San Diego - The Bulldogs aren’t getting a lot of press this year, but they are still headed to the tourney, and they have made a habit of covering huge spreads lately. I expect them to cover a much more modest one here as they ramp their game up in anticipation of the postseason.
