Robert Morris Colonials vs Northern Kentucky Norse 
Many of the things I look for line up well in this one. Robert Morris is undefeated at home with convincing wins over teams rated higher than NKU and the Colonials are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 at home. The Norse have yet to record a Top 200 win on KenPom and I don't see them getting their first one tonight.
College Basketball Best Bet: Robert Morris -2.5 (@ DraftKings)

Iona Gaels at Mount Saint Mary's Mountaineers 
At KenPom No. 302, MSM is one of the worst teams Iona has faced. The Gaels have easily handled other teams outside of Top 300 while the Mount has been hammered by better teams. Cementing this selection is Iona's 9-1 ATS mark in their last 10 road games.
College Basketball Best Bet: Iona -4.5 (@ BetMGM)

MTSU Blue Raiders at Houston Cougars 
MTSU deserves more respect than this line gives. The Blue Raiders are 0-4 against Top 100 teams this season, but they have been competitive in each, with their worst loss coming by 25 at No. 1 Michigan. Houston handles teams in the KenPom 100s, but doesn't blow them out by huge margins. MTSU is a quality opponent and should hang tough in this one.
