Old Dominion heads to Conway to face Coastal Carolina on Thursday, January 8, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET at The HTC Center. It’s a Sun Belt spot that’s priced like a coin-flip game with Coastal favored, even though the season profiles are very different. Coastal is 8-8 and playing for consistency. Old Dominion is 4-12 and playing for traction, especially away from home. The market has Coastal -3.5 with a -163 moneyline, while Old Dominion is +135. The total is 149.5. That’s a fairly punchy number for two teams that can score in stretches but also have long segments where execution and shot quality drop.

Stonehill heads to New Britain to face Central Connecticut State on Thursday, January 8, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET at William H. Detrick Gymnasium.
