The Explorers have picked up a pair of wins against George Washington and St. Joe’s since the calendar flipped to February, halting a 5-game losing streak. La Salle has tied a season-high 3-game cover streak, equaling the run from Nov. 7-15 to open the season at 3-0 against the spread (ATS).

Against the spread

LA SALLE +6.5 (-105) is the lean in this Atlantic 10 battle. The Explorers have cashed at a 5-0-1 ATS run in the last 6 games on the road, while cashing at a 4-1 ATS clip in the previous 5 games overall. La Salle is 3-1-1 ATS in the last 5 outings against winning teams, too. The underdog is 3-0-1 ATS in the last 4 meetings in this series.

St. Bonaventure -6.5 (-115) has managed a 6-2 ATS mark in the last 8 games overall, but it is just 1-5 ATS in the previous 6 contests against teams with a losing overall record.

Over/Under

OVER 133.5 (-110) is the lean in this A-10 tussle in western New York, but go lightly. The Over is 5-1 in LaSalle’s last 6 games on the road, while going 5-1 in the last 6 on the road against teams with a winning home mark.

Be careful, though, as the Under is 5-1 in the last 6 overall for the Bonnies.

NIT Tournament: St. Bonaventure vs. Xavier Semifinal odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s St. Bonaventure vs. Xavier Semifinal odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 8 seed St. Bonaventure Bonnies (23-9) meet the No. 2 seed Xavier Musketeers (21-13) Tuesday at Madison Square Garden in New York for an NIT Semifinal. Tip-off will be at 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the St. Bonaventure vs. Xavier odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

St. Bonaventure advanced in the tournament with wins over Colorado (76-68), Oklahoma (70-68) and Virginia (52-51). The Bonnies are 11-2 since Feb. 8 but won their last two games by a combined 3 points.

SBU is a slow-down team that relies on efficiency at both ends of the floor. The Bonnies have held foes to a 42.3% mark from the floor and made 4.8 blocks per game across their 11-2 run.

Xavier struggled down the stretch in the Big East, going 4-7 in its last 11 regular-season games and then losing its Big East tourney opener. However, the Musketeers have rallied for three NIT wins on home hardwood against Cleveland State (72-68), Florida (72-56) and Vanderbilt (75-73).

[tipico]

St. Bonaventure vs. Xavier odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Xavier 69, St. Bonaventure 65

Money line

Take the plus money on the five that hasn’t been on the road for three straight games before heading to Madison Square Garden. Peg the Bonnies as having a bit of shooting luck — twice on offense and once on defense — so far in this tournament. The Musketeers figure to have an edge on the boards and in getting to the charity stripe.

TAKE XAVIER (+102).

Against the spread

PASS.

Over/Under

The Under is 4-1 in the Bonnies’ last five games against foes playing .600 or better basketball.

Both sides are bottom-third squads in 3-point percentage. Slower-paced St. Bonaventure has done well to be the tempo-controlling team of late.

TAKE THE UNDER 140.5 ( -115).

NIT: St. Bonaventure at Colorado odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s St. Bonaventure at Colorado odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The St. Bonaventure Bonnies (20-9) visit the Colorado Buffaloes (21-11) in an NIT first-round game in Boulder. The contest at the CU Events Center is slated to tip off at 11 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the St. Bonaventure at Colorado odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

St. Bonaventure took fourth place in the Atlantic-10 Conference regular season. The Bonnies were 8-1 over their last nine regular-season games but were bounced by Saint Louis in their first A-10 Tournament game (57-56). The Bonnies have clamped down defensively of late. Since Feb. 8, they’ve yielded just 62.0 points per game, while forcing 15.0 turnovers per contest.

Colorado placed fourth in the Pac-12. The Buffaloes have displayed solid defense and marvelous 3-point shooting, but they were not able to match last season’s success when they were a 5-seed in the NCAA tourney. Colorado had a rough 1-5 stretch mid-winter, but, including a Pac-12 bracket loss to No. 2 Arizona, the Buffs are 8-2 since that slump. Over those last 10 games, CU has shot a blistering 43.3% behind the arc, en route to sinking 9.0 treys per game.

[tipico]

St. Bonaventure at Colorado odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Colorado 72, St. Bonaventure 66

Money line

PASS at the current price, but those with bigger bankrolls should consider a line watch here.

St. Bonaventure is below-average against the 3-ball and it gives up a ton of attempts from beyond the arc. That’s a bad combination for tired legs in a high-elevation road tilt.

A two-thirds win expectation for the Buffs is fair. The -180 tag is worth leveraging as a high-risk percentage play.

Against the spread

The Buffs are 12-5 straight up at home. The Bonnies are 1-8 ATS in their last nine road games against teams with a winning home record.

With Colorado at home — and here it’s more of a fade against St. Bonaventure on the road (where the Bonnies are 2-6 against the number) — and the Buffs being an improved bunch offensively late in the season, COLORADO -3.5 (-112) is the best side in this matchup.

Over/Under

PASS on a well-made total with crisscrossing analytic and trend signals.

The 9-seed St. Bonaventure Bonnies (16-4) tangle with the 8-seed LSU Tigers (18-9) in an NCAA East Region First Round Game on Saturday, March 20. The matinee contest (1:45 p.m. ET) will be held at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Indiana and is airing on TNT.

Below, we look at the early March Madness Round 1 matchup St. Bonaventure-LSU odds and lines. Will one of these teams end up as this year’s National Champion? Don’t forget to check out all of the teams’ March Madness odds.

St. Bonaventure plays a slow-down style of basketball, and the Bonnies figure prominently in defensive efficiency metrics. SBU swept the regular-season and tournament titles in Atlantic 10 play.

In their last seven games, the Bonnies are 6-1 overall and they’ve allowed just 54.9 points per game on a 38.7% mark from the floor over that stretch.

The Tigers placed third in the SEC regular-season standings and then won a pair of games in the SEC Tournament. LSU enters the national brackets having won four of its last five games. The Baton Rouge Bengals have scored 82.1 points per game (second in the SEC).

LSU plays a fast style of ball, but its offense is also diverse and buoyed by strong shooting percentages from the paint, the perimeter, and the foul line. Notably, the Tigers went 39.4% from three in SEC tourney games against Alabama and Arkansas.

Louisiana State’s top player is freshman G Cameron Thomas. Thomas is the SEC’s leading scorer, at 22.6 PPG. He gets to the line frequently and is an 88.0% free-throw shooter.
