Alcorn State heads to Itta Bena for a SWAC road game against Mississippi Valley State on Monday, February 9, with tip set for 8:00 PM ET at the Harrison HPER Complex. It’s not a “good teams” game, but it is a real betting game because the market is asking Alcorn to win on the road by margin, and this Braves profile has not supported that very often. Alcorn is 4-18 overall and just 2-16 away from home, while Mississippi Valley State is 1-22 and has struggled to compete for full stretches.

Illinois State heads to the Ford Center for a Missouri Valley Conference road game against Evansville on Monday night, with tip set for 8:00 PM ET on ESPN+.

Bradley’s edge is home-court pace control, crowd energy, and enough perimeter shooting to punish any defensive lapses. With a spread under a bucket, you’re betting who wins the last six

This CAA game is lined like a coin flip, which is exactly why it’s interesting. UNCW is sitting on a 19-4 record and they’ve traveled well, while Charleston is 16-8 with a strong home profile at TD Arena. Tip is Monday, February 9, 2026 at 8:00 PM ET in Charleston, and CBSS has the broadcast. The spread is basically asking you one question: do you trust the better season-long team on the road, or the home team with familiar rims and a style that can create scoring runs? Both teams can score, both get to the line, and both rebound well enough to keep the possession math tight. This comes down to which side controls shot quality late and who
