No. 21 Arkansas heads to Baton Rouge on Tuesday night for an SEC matchup with LSU at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. This is a game where the line sits in a practical range for bettors, because Arkansas is clearly the better team right now, but it is also not priced like a blowout. The Razorbacks have been trending up again after a brief stumble, and the 88-68 win at Mississippi State is the type of road result that supports laying a number.

No. 5 Iowa State heads to Fort Worth on Tuesday night for a Big 12 test against TCU at Schollmaier Arena, and the market is asking a very specific question.

Neither side is being priced like a track meet, and the total at 131.5 suggests the market expects a possession game with defenses getting set and free throws deciding late. If you like Fordham, you’re mostly betting that their work on the glass and

Rhode Island heads to Washington, DC for a key Atlantic 10 matchup with George Washington on Tuesday night at the Charles E. Smith Center, tipping at 7:00 PM ET on ESPN+. The market is giving the edge to GW at home, laying 5.5 with a total of 150.5, which is a fairly aggressive number for a conference game that could swing between tempo and control. This one sets up like a clash of identities. Rhode Island is priced like the team that can hang around if it keeps the game organized and avoids long empty stretches. George Washington is priced like the team that can separate if the threes fall and the pace stays above average. The handicap is figuring
