California travels east on Wednesday night to face Florida State at the Donald L. Tucker Center, with tipoff scheduled for 7:00 PM ET. This nonconference matchup brings together two teams with contrasting styles and very different home-road profiles. Florida State opens as a short home favorite, while California comes in priced as a live underdog in a spot that could be tighter than the market suggests. The Golden Bears have shown a willingness to play faster this season, leaning into perimeter shooting and early offense. Florida State, meanwhile, continues to rely on length, athleticism, and pressure defense, particularly at home where energy levels tend to spike. That dynamic creates an interesting betting setup, especially with a total sitting in the

Butler heads to New York City on Wednesday night to face St. John’s at Madison Square Garden, with tipoff set for 7:00 PM ET. This Big East matchup places Butler in a difficult neutral-site environment against a St. John’s team that has played some of its best basketball in this building. The Red Storm enter as a heavy favorite, while Butler looks to survive a challenging conference spot. The Bulldogs have struggled defensively against faster teams, especially away from Hinkle Fieldhouse. St. John’s, meanwhile, continues to lean into pace, pressure, and offensive firepower, particularly in games played at MSG where energy levels tend to rise. That contrast is clearly reflected in both the spread and the elevated total. From a

Austin Peay heads to Baptist Health Arena in Richmond, Kentucky to face Eastern Kentucky on Wednesday, January 28, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET, with ESPN+ carrying this Atlantic Sun matchup.

Both teams can score, both teams want to shoot threes, and if you’re betting the side you’re really betting who handles the swings better in a gym where runs happen fast.

Central Arkansas heads to Curry Arena in Charlotte to face Queens (NC) on Wednesday, January 28, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET, with ESPN+ streaming this Atlantic Sun matchup. Queens comes in 12-9 with an 8-1 home record, and that home split is doing a lot of work in the line. Central Arkansas is 10-10 and just 1-9 on the road, which is why the Bears are catching points even though, on paper, they can score with most teams in this league. The total is high at 157.5, which fits both offenses. The question is whether this turns into a three-point track meet, or whether the game has those long A-Sun stretches where both teams are launching threes and missing for
