|---|---|---|
| CBB | (759) Queens NC at (760) Purdue: Spread | 7:35pm EDT - Mar 20/2026 |
The PLAY: Purdue -23.5 (-110)
Who can forget the 2023 NCAA Tournament when #16 seed Fairleigh Dickinson stunned #1 seed Purdue 63-58? FDU became the second-ever 16-seed to beat a 1-seed. It marked the second consecutive year that a double-digit seed eliminated the Boilermakers. (St. Peter's beat them in 2022.)
The Boilermakers learned their lesson. They took care of business in the first round each of the past two seasons. Two years ago, they beat Grambling by 28, eking out a cover as a 27-point favorite. Last season, they won by 12, while laying eight points against High Point. This year provides another favorable first round opponent as Purdue is matched up against Queens University.
The Royals faced some decent teams this year as they played Auburn, Arkansas, Wake Forest, Virginia and Villanova. The problem is that they lost those games by 41, 28, 38, 25 and 20, an average of 30.4 points per game. With memories of 2023 still fresh in the minds of Purdue fans, the Boilermakers should keep the pedal to the metal the whole way and win by 25+. *Good up to -25

| NHL | (57) Utah Mammoth at (58) Vegas Golden Knights: Moneyline | 10:07pm EDT - Mar 19/2026 |
The PLAY: Vegas Golden Knights -135
Off a 2-0 loss to the Sabres and looking to close out their homestand with a victory, we should be able to expect a big effort from the Golden Knights. While the Knights have Friday off, note that the Mammoth have a big Friday night showdown against the Ducks.
Forward Mitch Marner, who nearly tied the game late in third period, said this of the Buffalo loss: "I thought we played a good game. We had a lot of good looks. Kudos to their goalie. He made a lot of big saves. But I liked our game. We were playing physically, we played fast, we made plays."
Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy added: "You're going to lose games. I'm not disappointed with the way we played. I'm not upset ... "
Monday's upset win at Dallas notwithstanding ,the Mammoth aren't as strong away from Utah. I expect home ice to prove significant. Play Vegas (no play if line higher than -150)
