The Big South takes center stage this Thursday as the UNC Asheville Bulldogs travel to the Joan Perry Brock Center to face the Longwood Lancers. Tip-off is set for 7:00 PM ET on ESPNU, marking a high-profile “Wildcard” broadcast for the conference. Longwood enters as a 2.5-point home favorite in a matchup between two teams currently tied for the middle of the pack in the Big South standings. The Lancers sit at 13-13 overall, while the Bulldogs travel with an 11-13 record and a hunger to replicate their double-digit victory over Longwood from early January. The setting in Farmville, Virginia, should be electric as the Lancers host a “Whiteout” night and Healthcare Worker Appreciation game. Longwood has traditionally been a

Weber State travels to ICCU Arena in Moscow, Idaho to face the Idaho Vandals on Thursday, February 12, 2026 in a Big Sky matchup that’s priced like a clear home advantage.

Because this game is on the conference board, the “why” matters as much as the “who.” If you are betting a short home favorite, you want to know you’re getting steadier late-game execution, cleaner possessions, and a reliable path to points when things tighten in the last eight minutes. If you are taking points with a road dog, you are banking on defense traveling, the underdog avoiding turnovers, and the

South Dakota State heads to Hamilton Gymnasium in Denver for a Thursday, February 12, 2026 matchup with the Denver Pioneers, with tipoff set for 9:00 PM ET. This is the kind of Summit League game bettors should treat like a possession battle, not a brand-name matchup. The line is basically a pick’em, which means the market sees these teams as tight on a neutral floor and is giving Denver a small home-court nudge. That pricing makes sense for a few reasons. Denver tends to play with more pace at home and can get comfortable offensively in its building, while South Dakota State is usually more methodical and more selective with shot quality. When these styles collide, the most important question
