    Analysis

    The Lumberjacks won the first meeting 69-60, but it wasn't easy. Texas A&M Corpus Christi led by nine at halftime. Ultimately, the difference was Stephen F. Austin shooting 50 percent from deep compared to 25 percent for the Islanders. SFA enters on an 11-game win streak, but many of those victories were close. The Islanders, who played SMU, Kansas, Oklahoma State and Xavier in non-conference play, are coming off a convincing win over Lamar in which they had 15 assists and only seven turnovers. They should keep this close throughout.

    Analysis

    Alabama State is far from a good team, but Mississippi Valley State is arguably the nation's worst. The Hornets won the first meeting by 20 and have covered three straight against the Delta Devils, winning by 20, 23 and 29. Alabama State is coming off an 18-point win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff, which is tied for second in the SWAC. Lay the points.

    WIN
    Picked: Feb 16 @ 1:55pm

    Analysis

    Howard adds a bit of mystery to a recommendation because the Bison have lost three times in league play. Yet the e Bison have rolled thru the MEAC the way Bill Walton's UCLA destroyed the old Pac-8 in his soph season, with a win margin of nearly 24 pg (!!!) in the conference victories. Included in that path of destruction was an 84-58 romp past the outmanned Hornets on January 12. After absorbing obligatory MEAC wallopings in non-league play, DSU has continued to lose, and with the nation's most-impotent offense (61 ppg ranks 361st), though one minor caution is that efforts have generally been better in Dover, where loss margins have been reduced. That's not enough to alter what looks another MEAC mismatch. Play Howard

    Picked: Feb 16 @ 6:08pm

    Analysis

    Back to-back wins at the Dome vs. Cal and SMU suggest there's still some juice left in the Orange, and Adrian Autry's team was able to hang around at ranked Virginia previous to the recent successes. In the SMU win, worth noting that Autry gave increased minutes to Carmelo's Anthony's son Kiyan, who responded with a pair of triples plus a conventional and-one as the 'Cuse traded punches in the later minutes, and young Anthony even spent more time on the court than starting PG JJ Starling, and almost all hands on deck since top scorer F Donnie Freeman (17.6 ppg) returned in early January after missing a month. "Totals" alert--note "unders" in six straight and nine of ten for the Dookies. Play 'Use-Duke "Under"

    Picked: Feb 16 @ 1:30pm

    Analysis

    At its best, BU shoots triples with plenty of accuracy, its 39% ranking tenth nationally, led by jr wing Michael McNair. Riding on long bombs, however, has risks, and Colgate's mix is a bit more durable, with a good combo of inside & outside weapons led by jr. G Jalen Cox (17.2 ppg/53% FGs), and with a pair of 30+-point efforts in recent weeks (including two days ago vs. Navy), while frosh F Andrew Alekseyenko (16.4 ppg last five) has become more of a factor as the season has progressed. Matt Langel has won plenty of these games on the Patriot trail throughout the years and has done a good job of the same (5-2 SU away in league play) this term. Play Colgate
