East Carolina heads to Wichita on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, for a 7:30 PM ET tip at Charles Koch Arena on ESPN+. It’s an AAC game with Wichita State priced as a heavy favorite, and the number is saying the Shockers should control this one with defense, rebounding, and a cleaner half-court offense. East Carolina is 5-13 and still trying to string together full 40-minute performances. Wichita State is 11-8 and much more stable at home, where they’ve been able to turn stops into separation.

Tarleton State heads to Arlington on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, for an 8:00 PM ET tip at College Park Center on ESPN+. It’s a WAC matchup with a tight spread that basically says UT Arlington gets the nod for home court, but not much more than that. UT Arlington is laying -3 with a modest moneyline price, while Tarleton State comes in as the live dog because they can score and they get to the line. The total is 146.5, which sits right in that range where game script matters. If Tarleton pushes tempo and lives at the stripe, this can climb.

The total is a big one at 160.5, which means you’re betting either a track meet or a game where one team’s offense stalls and drags the number down. These are the current betting lines,

UTSA heads to Denton on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, for an 8:00 PM ET matchup with North Texas at the UNT Coliseum. ESPN+ has the stream. This is an AAC game with a serious gap in how the market views these teams, and the number is telling you North Texas is expected to control it start to finish. North Texas is laying -16.5 with a massive moneyline tax, and the total is just 137.5. That combo matters. It implies a slower, defense-forward game where UTSA is expected to struggle to score, and North Texas doesn’t need to run it up to cover. The handicap is whether UTSA can simply avoid the avalanche possessions that turn a manageable spread into a
