Northern Kentucky and Cleveland State meet Wednesday night at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland with two very different late-February agendas. The Norse are still fighting for Horizon League tournament positioning and want to finish the regular season with momentum after hovering around the middle of the standings. Cleveland State, meanwhile, is trying to stop the bleeding and salvage something from a rough conference run that’s included a long losing streak and too many defensive lapses. Tip-off is set for 7:00 PM ET, and the market has Northern Kentucky favored by multiple possessions.

Butler, meanwhile, has

St. John’s heads to Hartford, CT to face Connecticut at PeoplesBank Arena on Wednesday, February 25, 2026. The listed matchup price says this is competitive, but it also says the Huskies have the stronger baseline, especially on their home floor where defensive intensity and late-game execution tend to travel better than jump shooting. From a betting perspective, this is the kind of number that forces you to decide what you believe about the game environment.
