Illinois State and Bradley meet Saturday night in Peoria for a Missouri Valley conference game that looks tight on paper but plays very different once you account for home and road splits. Both teams carry identical 18-10 records, yet Bradley has been one of the league’s better home teams at 14-3, while Illinois State has struggled away from home at 4-8. That’s why the Braves are laying 4 at Carver Arena, and it’s also why this matchup is a good test of whether Illinois State’s shooting efficiency can travel against a team that tends to play with more confidence and rhythm in its own building. The other market to watch is the total at 144.5. That number is high enough

Indiana State heads to Nashville on Saturday night for a Missouri Valley matchup with Belmont, and the market is treating it like a clear separation spot for the Bruins. Belmont is laying 13.5 at home with a heavy moneyline price, which makes sense on paper given the records, but big spreads in conference play still come down to game state and shot profile. If Belmont gets a lead and manages possessions, it can win comfortably without ever needing to push tempo. If Indiana State can keep scoring pressure on the board with efficient twos and steady ball movement, it can make this number feel large for most of the night. This matchup also carries a total that is priced high

Texas A&M heads to Norman for an SEC matchup with Oklahoma on Saturday night, and the market is basically calling it a coin flip. The Sooners get the slight nod at home, but Texas A&M is priced with the better moneyline, which tells you bettors are splitting between Oklahoma’s home-court edge and the Aggies’ offensive ceiling. With a total sitting up at 166.5, this game is also being priced like a track meet, and that matters because one cold stretch or a slower second half can flip the best angle from side to total quickly. The situational profiles are interesting. Texas A&M is 18-8 with a shaky 4-5 road record, while Oklahoma is 13-13 but much more comfortable at Lloyd

The Utah Tech Trailblazers head to Wisdom Gym in Stephenville, Texas to take on the Tarleton State Texans on Saturday, February 21, 2026 at 5:00 PM ET. With conference standings tightening late in the regular season, this matchup carries weight for seeding and momentum heading into March. Utah Tech comes in looking to steal a road win and build consistency away from home, while Tarleton State has leaned on its defense and physical style to protect its own floor. The betting market has installed the Texans as slight favorites, reflecting both home-court advantage and their ability to dictate tempo. With a spread under one possession and a total of 141, this sets up as a competitive, potentially lower-variance contest. Below
