Kate Constable: Virginia -3.5 at Miami (FL)

Virginia and Miami meet in our only top-25 matchup of the day. While both teams come into this game with only one loss, I’m going to lay the points with the Cavaliers. They’re coming off a loss at home against Houston on Saturday in which they went 2-for-9 from deep despite being a really good 3-point-shooting team. That’s going to turn around against a Miami team that I think is getting a little too much praise right now. Yes, the Hurricanes are 11-1 and are one of the best scoring teams in the country, but their strength of schedule is just 226th. I think Virginia will control this game and cover on the road.

Dan Karpuc: UConn -23 vs. Georgetown
UConn has been the most impressive college basketball team in the country this season. Not only have the Huskies started a perfect 12-0, but they’ve won all 12 games by double-digit points and have gone 11-1 ATS. Georgetown has struggled (again) and is off to a 5-7 SU (4-8 ATS) start. Under coach Dan Hurley, Connecticut has gone 8-0 ATS coming off a double-digit road victory and the Huskies just beat Butler by 22 on the road in their last contest. Boasting a mix of star power and incredible depth, I fully expect UConn to dismantle the Hoyas. U-C-O-N-N! UConn, UConn, UConn!

Lucy Burdge: Montana State +21 at Arizona
Montana State is 7-3 ATS this season, including 5-3 on the road, and has covered in four straight games. Meanwhile, Arizona is just 2-3 ATS when favored by more than 20 points. Plus, Danny Sprinkle is 13-5 ATS versus teams that out-rebound opponents by four or more per game while coaching Montana State. So I like Montana State to beat this huge spread tonight.
