Sunday had two key matchups in the tournament picture, plus a handful of other solid matchups!
Florida beat Alabama by 23 in a really impressive showing for the Gators at home. They move to a 4.
Purdue beats Maryland in a game that was never close. Purdue a 3.
Iowa State also dominates inferior competition, winning by 34 @ Kansas State.
Merrimack improves to 10-2 on the year in MAAC play, Siena also wins, stying 1 game back.
Tulsa improves to 7-2 in the American, which is suddenly led by Charlotte after FAU got upset by ECU.
Colorado ends TCU’s at-large hopes (for now), with a 26 point victory.
Penn State beats Minnesota in a fun one!
Wright State and Oakland continue to climb at the top of the Horizon league.
East Tennessee State beats Wofford to take control in the SoCon!
Monday Night:
Maryland Eastern Shore @ NC Central | 4:30, ESPN+
Winner takes the lead in the MEAC!
Syracuse @ UnC | 7:00, ESPN
I expect to see UNC roll here, they’re favored by 11.5 and come in as a projected 5 seed today. I’d expect to see a lot of points here.
McNeese @ Stephen F. Austin | ESPN+
This is a battle for first in the Southland right now! McNeese is favored by 2.5 coming in, and this should be fun! Winner jumps to the AQ for the conference!
Bethune Cookman @ Alabama A&M | 8:00
BCU comes in as a 1.5 point favorite. This will help shape the SWAC regular season race.
Kansas @ Texas Tech | 9:00, ESPN
This is a crazy matchup and I love that it’s happening on a Monday when we have a lighter slate! KU comes in as a 3, TTU is a 4. The winner will be a 3, loser a 4.
Weber State @ Sacramento State | 10:00, ESPN+
This should be a really fun Big Sky matchup. Weber State is favored by 1.5.
Idaho State @ Portland State | 10:00, ESPN+
Portland State is favored by 6.5 here and are looking to get to 9-1 in conference play!
