Kate Constable: UConn ATS vs. Creighton
After losing six straight games, the Bluejays have finally gotten things back on track, winning their last three. However, those wins came again Butler, DePaul and Seton Hall, all ranked in the bottom half of the Big East. Saturday’s game against UConn isn’t going to be quite as easy, especially since the Huskies are coming off of their first two losses of the season, both of which were on the road against the top two teams in the conference. Now back at home, I expect UConn to win big in this one.

Dan Karpuc: St. Francis at Merrimack Under
The under has gone 14-1 (93.3% win rate) in Merrimack games and 10-2 (83.3% win rate) in St. Francis games to start the year. As you might imagine, that ranks highest and third-highest across all 363 Division I basketball teams. Per KenPom, Merrimack ranks dead-last in Adjusted Offensive Efficiency while St. Francis ranks 354th, so this is going to be a battle of two teams who simply have no offensive consistency whatsoever. It’s not often that you see a matchup between two teams that have gone 3-24 to the O/U, but that’s exactly what we have here.

Lucy Burdge: Oklahoma State ATS vs. Texas
Oklahoma State has covered the spread in their last four games. winning three of those outright as favorites. Meanwhile, Texas has failed to cover in their last three games and in five of their last six. Oklahoma State also has a five-game cover streak at home, so I like the Cowboys to cover this spread at home against Texas.
