January 3, 2026 By Scores And Stats | NCAAB

Monmouth heads to SECU Arena to face Towson on Saturday, January 3, 2026, with tip set for 6:00 PM ET on FloC. This is a CAA spot where the market is clearly backing the home team: Towson is laying nine with a strong moneyline behind it, and that price is mostly about home-court and matchup control. Towson is 5-0 at home, and it tends to win these games by making them physical, owning the glass, and keeping opponents from getting comfortable possessions. Monmouth is 1-5 on the road, and as a dog here, it needs a clean game that stays within one or two runs, not a grind where every empty trip becomes a two-possession swing. These are the current

UCLA heads to Iowa City for a Big Ten spot at Carver Hawkeye Arena on Saturday, January 3, 2026, with tip set for 6:00 PM ET on PEAC. The Bruins are 10-3 and rolling offensively, but they have been uneven away from home and now get the worst kind of road assignment: an undefeated home favorite with a top-25 number next to its name. Iowa is 11-2 and 10-0 in this building, and the market is respecting that edge with the Hawkeyes laying 6.5. This matchup is basically a shooting contest with a pace question attached to it. If UCLA can keep the possession count up and avoid dead stretches, the dog has a real path to cashing plus points.
