Here are Tuesday's best bets:
Michigan State Looks to Grind Down East Carolina
The Spartans have been outstanding defensively. They have already held strong offensive teams like Arkansas and Kentucky under 70 points. Neither Michigan State nor East Carolina shoots well from three, which should slow scoring even more. Michigan State should win by a wide margin, but the total is the better play.
Betting Pick: Michigan State Spartans and East Carolina Pirates under 144.5
Final Score Prediction: Michigan State 77-57 over East Carolina
Northern Iowa and Loyola Renew an Old Valley Battle
Two former Missouri Valley foes meet again. Loyola Chicago has struggled early, winning only one of its first six games. Northern Iowa has had trouble rebounding. The question is which team controls the glass. Even with the struggles, this matchup sets up as a game where both offenses find enough rhythm to push it over the number.
Betting Pick: Northern Iowa Panthers and Loyola Ramblers over 134.5
Final Score Prediction: Northern Iowa 76-69 over Loyola
Kansas and Syracuse Try to Shake Off Quick Turnarounds
Both teams enter this one on short rest. Kansas survived a scare from Notre Dame while Syracuse pushed Houston to overtime before falling. Expect heavy legs early and cold shooting to follow. Points should be tough to come by throughout the first 20 minutes and beyond.
Betting Pick: Kansas Jayhawks and Syracuse Orange under 148.5
Final Score Prediction: Kansas 78-70 over Syracuse
Oregon and San Diego State Should Trade Stops
It is a late-night matchup with two defensive-minded programs. Oregon has not found its offensive rhythm yet. San Diego State has slightly inflated numbers after a double-overtime game earlier this season. Oregon’s defense is capable of smothering opponents while the Aztecs always compete physically. This matchup points toward a lower-total result.
Betting Pick: Oregon Ducks and San Diego State Aztecs under 144.5
Final Score Prediction: Oregon 72-68 over San Diego State
Alabama and UNLV Meet in a Nightcap with Tired Legs
It has been quite a stretch for Nate Oats and Alabama. After beating Illinois and battling Gonzaga on Monday, the Tide take on UNLV in another late tip. UNLV is capable of pushing Alabama, especially with the Tide coming off an emotionally draining game. Expect both teams to struggle to maintain pace, making the under the play.
Betting Pick: Alabama Crimson Tide and UNLV Rebels under 181.5
Final Score Prediction: Alabama 90-80 over UNLV
A night full of totals and very few sides. Enjoy the games and good luck with all your Tuesday bets. Follow every pick at BetStamp.
