Rice heads to San Antonio on Wednesday night for an AAC matchup with UTSA at the Convocation Center. Tip is set for 8:00 PM ET, with ESPN+ carrying the stream. Rice is priced as a road favorite at -5.5, and that number tells you the market thinks the Owls are the more functional team, even away from home. The total is 145.5, which sits in that range where a normal whistle and average shooting can get you close, but a couple cold stretches can bury the over.

South Dakota State heads to Fargo on Wednesday night for a Summit League matchup with North Dakota State at the Scheels Center. Tip is set for 8:00 PM ET. The market has the Bison favored by 5.5 with a total near 150, which is basically the book saying this game should stay competitive, but North Dakota State’s home edge is real.
