Baylor Bears vs West Virginia Mountaineers Picks and Predictions – January 31, 2026
Baylor heads to Morgantown on Thursday night for a Big 12 clash with West Virginia at the WVU Coliseum. Tip-off is set for 8:00 PM ET, and the Bears are laying points on the road despite the altitude, travel, and a volatile Mountaineers team that can surprise in spots. The Bears (17–4, 6–2 Big 12) have been one of the most efficient offenses in the country and are coming off a strong stretch of wins. West Virginia (9–12, 2–6 Big 12) has played better at home but remains wildly inconsistent. The market favors Baylor by a respectable margin — but this one’s about game script. Baylor brings elite guard play, excellent 3-point shooting, and one of the best offensive efficiency

Howard Bison vs Norfolk State Spartans Picks and Predictions – January 31, 2026
The top of the MEAC standings could shift Thursday night as Howard visits Norfolk State in a high-stakes conference battle. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:00 PM ET at Echols Memorial Hall, where the Spartans have been dominant all year. Norfolk State (14–6, 6–1 MEAC) enters riding a five-game win streak and sitting just behind the conference lead. Howard (12–8, 5–2 MEAC) has quietly built momentum too, and they’ve proven dangerous in road spots. The spread is tight — and sharp bettors may find angles in tempo, turnovers, and late-game execution. Howard is well-coached and deep, with a solid eight-man rotation that gets balanced scoring. They play fast, attack off the dribble, and shoot just well enough from the outside to

Northern Iowa Panthers vs Evansville Aces Picks and Predictions – January 31, 2026
Missouri Valley play continues Thursday night as Northern Iowa visits Evansville in a mid-tier league battle. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:00 PM ET at Ford Center, with the Panthers listed as modest road favorites. Northern Iowa (13–9, 7–4 MVC) comes in having won three of their last four and looking to stay hot. Evansville (9–13, 3–8 MVC) has been fading fast, dropping five straight. Despite the home court, they enter as clear underdogs — and the number may not be big enough given how these teams are trending. Northern Iowa has picked things up after a mid-season slump. Their defense remains the backbone — holding teams under 66 PPG in conference — but the offense is also finding rhythm. They

Western Illinois Leathernecks vs UT Martin Skyhawks Picks and Predictions – January 31, 2026
Western Illinois heads to UT Martin for an Ohio Valley showdown on Thursday, January 31, with tip-off set for 8:00 PM ET at Skyhawk Arena. Both teams sit in the middle of the conference standings and are looking to gain ground in the postseason race. UT Martin (11–10, 5–5 OVC) comes in favored, thanks to their uptempo style and home-court edge. Western Illinois (9–12, 4–6 OVC) has been scrappy but inconsistent, particularly on the road. There’s betting value here depending on who controls the pace and protects the ball. Western Illinois plays at a slower tempo and leans heavily on post play and rebounding to stay competitive. Their offense runs through the interior, but they lack consistent perimeter shooting. They’ve

Eastern Illinois Panthers vs Southeast Missouri State Redhawks Picks and Predictions – January 31, 2026
It’s a bottom-half Ohio Valley battle as Eastern Illinois hosts Southeast Missouri State on Thursday, January 31. These two teams are struggling to climb the standings, but there’s still betting value to be had — especially with both offenses trending in opposite directions. Eastern Illinois (8–14, 2–8 OVC) is trying to stop the bleeding after losing four of five. SEMO (10–12, 4–6 OVC) has been up and down but owns one of the better scoring attacks in the league. Tip-off is set for the afternoon at Lantz Arena. Southeast Missouri pushes the pace and relies on spacing, transition scoring, and slashing guards to create offense. They average 75+ points per game in conference play and get to the line at
