Gardner-Webb heads to Farmville for a Big South conference matchup with Longwood on Wednesday, January 21, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET at the Joan Perry Brock Center. The game is on ESPN+. This one sets up as a classic mismatch spot: Gardner-Webb has been buried in conference play and is coming off a 92-55 loss to Presbyterian, while Longwood is back home trying to clean up the details after an 85-83 loss to Radford. Longwood is laying a big number at -14.5, with a total of 154.5. That tells you the market expects Longwood to score and expects Gardner-Webb to contribute at least a little. I’m not sure the second part is a safe assumption. These are the current betting

Charleston Southern hits the road to face Presbyterian on Wednesday, January 21, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET at the Ross E. Templeton P.E. Center in Clinton, South Carolina. ESPN+ has the Big South conference matchup, and the betting setup is interesting because the favorite has been far better at home than away. Charleston Southern is 11-9 overall and comes off an 86-81 loss to USC Upstate where A’Lahn Sumler went off for 35. The Buccaneers can score in bunches, but their 4-7 road mark is the first thing I look at when they’re laying points. Presbyterian is 10-10 and 7-1 at home, fresh off a 92-55 win over Gardner-Webb. So you have a road favorite with a shaky travel profile

Maryland hits the road to face the #11 Illinois Fighting Illini on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, with tipoff set for 7:00 PM ET at the State Farm Center in Champaign, Illinois. This Big Ten conference game will be broadcast on BTN. Illinois has been rolling at home and sits in a strong spot in the league race, while Maryland is trying to build on its first real spark in a while after a 96-73 win over Penn State. The line is big for a conference game. Illinois is laying 18.5 points with a total of 149.5. That number basically assumes Illinois controls the entire night, and the only question is whether Maryland can score enough to keep the full-game spread

Army heads to Sojka Pavilion to face Bucknell on Wednesday, January 21, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET, with ESPN+ carrying this Patriot League game. Bucknell is a moderate home favorite, and the market is basically saying the Bison are the cleaner team in a matchup between two programs that have been chasing consistency all season. Army comes in 7-12 and needs league wins wherever it can find them, because the margin for error is already thin. Bucknell is 6-13, but they’ve been more competitive lately and they tend to look more comfortable at home. If this stays close late, it probably comes down to shot selection and free throws, not some big talent gap. These are the current betting lines,
