1* Free Pick on Sam Houston State -4½

Sam Houston has the ultimate rest advantage in this Conference USA quarterfinal.
The Bearkats earned the #2 seed and a first-round bye while New Mexico State had to play yesterday.

Legs get heavy in back-to-back tournament games and the Aggies do not have the depth to survive.
This is also a massive revenge spot for Sam Houston after losing the only regular season meeting.

The Bearkats are a top-40 scoring offense that averages 83 points per contest.
They are much more efficient than the Aggies, shooting nearly 47 percent from the field.

New Mexico State ranks near the bottom of the country in shooting efficiency at just 43 percent.
The defensive edge goes to the Bearkats as well.

Kashie Natt was just named CUSA Defensive Player of the Year.
He will spend the night locking down Jemel Jones and forcing turnovers in the backcourt.

Sam Houston is coached by Chris Mudge, who was named CUSA Co-Coach of the Year for this 21-win season.
He has this team playing elite basketball at the right time.

New Mexico State’s fatigue will show up in the second half when the jumpers stop falling.
Expect Sam Houston to dominate the glass and get easy points in transition.

The Bearkats have the superior guard play and will control the tempo from the opening tip.
This line is far too short for a rested high seed against a tired double-digit seed.

Lay the points with the better, fresher team.

Bet Sam Houston State -4.5 (-110).

1* Free Play on TCU -4½ -110

As the Big Ten Tournament tips off in Chicago, the Washington Huskies face off against the USC Trojans in a compelling first-round matchup, with both squads looking to salvage underwhelming regular seasons, at 15-16 overall and 7-13 in conference, USC at 18-13 and also 7-13 in the Big Ten. This neutral-site clash provides an opportunity for redemption, but delving into recent form, historical trends, and statistical edges reveals why the Huskies stand out as the better bet against the spread. USC limps in on a grueling seven-game losing streak, where they've been outscored by an average of over 10 points per contest, a downturn worsened by the dismissal of their second-leading scorer, Chad Baker-Mazara, which has disrupted their offensive flow. In their latest encounter on March 4 in Seattle, the Trojans held a 43-40 halftime lead but collapsed in the second half, getting outscored 51-29 en route to a 91-72 loss, highlighting their struggles with cohesion and closing out games.

Washington, by contrast, has displayed more reliability, particularly against faltering teams like USC, securing victories in three of their last five outings and sweeping the regular-season series. Back on December 6 in Los Angeles, the Huskies overcame an 18-point deficit for an 84-76 win, driven by superior rebounding and contributions from transfers familiar with USC's schemes. While USC historically holds an edge in the rivalry with an 11-2 straight-up record over the last 13 meetings and a 4-2 ATS mark in the past six, including covering as +8.5 underdogs in 12 of 13 prior clashes with Washington, the tides have shifted dramatically this season. The Trojans are winless straight-up and 0-6 ATS in their last seven games, including 0-5 ATS versus Big Ten foes, underscoring their failure to perform under pressure in tournament-like scenarios. Washington counters with an impressive 18-13 ATS record overall this year, having covered in both triumphs over USC, including as favorites in the recent blowout.

Statistically, Washington's defensive prowess provides a clear advantage, allowing only 73.1 points per game to rank in the upper echelon nationally, while stifling opponents to just 29% from three-point range in road or neutral settings and ranking top-15 in blocks. This directly targets USC's offensive shortcomings, as the Trojans sit at 191st in points per possession over the past month amid absences, shooting a pedestrian 45% from the field and coughing up turnovers at elevated rates during their slide. Rebounding further tilts in Washington's favor, with their 36.8 boards per game edging USC's 36.3, a factor that proved decisive in the March 4 rout where freshman Hannes Steinbach notched a program-record-tying 24 rebounds and 22 points, complemented by Zoom Diallo's career-high 26 points. USC has been dominated on the glass in five of their seven recent defeats, yielding second-chance points that Washington's efficient 46% field goal attack exploits. Both offenses hover around 77-78 points per game, but the Huskies' stingier defense (73.1 points allowed versus USC's 77.8) enables better tempo control, while USC's slight lead in assists at 15.1 per game hasn't translated to fewer turnovers in these specific battles.

Ultimately, USC's prolonged skid, dismal ATS run, and post-dismissal chaos, paired with Washington's series dominance this year and defensive matchup advantages, make the Huskies the smart choice at around -5 or better. This spread presents solid value against a Trojans squad that's crumbled in tight spots recently, overriding historical series trends in favor of current momentum.
