| CBB | (785) High Point at (786) Arkansas: Total | 9:45pm EDT - Mar 21/2026 |
The PLAY: Total Over 168.5 (-110)
This O/U line is high -- but likely not high enough. High Point just scored 83 against Wisconsin, allowing 82. The Panthers averaged a whopping 93.8 ppg in the regular season. They've played 34 games and they scored more than 70 every time. Now the Panthers take on an Arkansas team which also averaged more than 90 ppg during the season. The Razorbacks just dropped 97 on Hawaii in the opening rd, the sixth straight time they've scored more than 80. Expect a fast-paced high-scoring affair. *good up to 170

|---|---|---|
| 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
