2 Unit Play. Take #890 Purdue -5.5 over UCLA (8p.m., Friday, February 28 FOX) Purdue has been in free fall at the moment and will enter this game having lost 4 straight games. Sooner or later, they will break out of this funk and tonight will be that night. UCLA is not used to this environment.

2-Unit Play. Take #898 Akron (-4) Over Kent State (9 p.m., Friday, Feb. 28)
First head to head match-up was blowout win by Akron at Kent State, look for similar win at home for Zips tonight. Akron hasn’t been great ATS in last 5 just 0-5 ATS but that is more because they usually are much larger favorites. Tonight Zips end the ATS bad streak and get us the cover. Take Akron to win and cover the spread tonight.

4-Unit Play. Take Northwestern -170 ML over Iowa (Friday @ 8:30pm est)
We roll with a money-line play today as we lost a couple of games this year as we did not take the money line and we look to avoid that, of course, taking it as a standard 4 unit selection is not much different than taking a baseball play at a 4-unit selection on money-line. Note, we have a 7*NHL selection we love today, on a 3-0 run in soccer for nearly a +4000 run there and per Northwestern they barely lost to Iowa last time, Iowa is struggling terribly right now whereas Northwestern is peaking at the right time with big wins over Ohio State on the road (just monster win) and beating Minnesota on the road. They also have big wins over Illinois, Maryland and this team could do some serious damage in the conference tournament as they make a push here to make it to the dance. We like Northwestern here on Friday night to get it done with a great crowd.

Take #875 Princeton -4.5 over Columbia
***7PM EST Tip
No team in America has gone off the guard rails and down into the embankment since the start of the season more so than the Lions of Columbia. After winning 9 of their first 10 games, Columbia has since gone 2-12 Overall and just 1-10 in Ivy League play. On the other side, we have a Princeton team who I am completely convinced can beat Yale in a one game/winner take all Tournament set up for the right to go dancing.
And since the Ivy League now has a Conference Tournament- either way they will get that chance. But a win here tonight on the Upper West Side of Manhattan will move Princeton into the buy spot of the #2 seed directly behind that aforementioned Yale squad. Princeton is starting to get fully healthy, and they are playing their best basketball at the right time- Take Princeton against the number here tonight.

7-Unit Play: #855 BROWN -1 (-110) Over Harvard (Friday, February 28, 2025, 5:00pm ET)
The Harvard Crimson with a record of 10-14 host the Brown Bears at 13-11 at Lavietes Pavilion. The Bears are putting up some good numbers, as they average 73.8 points per game, at a 45.8% clip and from downtown a decent 35.1% average. Their defense is giving up 72.2% per game - That'll get better tonight, as they know exactly what the problem is and will work on it, big time. The Harvard Crimson want to get to .500, but they'll have to wait, as the Bears take this one going away. Harvard's defense is giving up 73.3 points per game, while only scoring an average of 69.0%. Look for the Brown Bears to hand Harvard another loss, while their hopes are on March Madness and what they'll have to do to get there.

3-Unit Play: Take 880 Coastal Carolina -1 over ODU (7:30 p.m., Friday, Feb. 28)
Neither team is lighting things up but at least CCU is experiencing what it takes to win of late, victorious in two of their last three games. ODU has won just nine of their last 34 conference games. CCU is in revenge for an ugly road loss at ODU on a night when the Chanticleers were far worse than their norm, making just nine of 29 2-pointers. I expect a much better night tonight. ODU is 6th worst in offensive effective FG percentage out of 364 teams and not a whole lot better on defense. I’m betting CCU gains their revenge. I’m backing Coastal Carolina on Friday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

Friday February 28th 2025-
4 Unit Play Take #864 Sacred Heart -1 over Marist (7:00pm est):
Simply put I think this Sacred Heart team is better than Marist. They come in with the #1 ranked offensive efficiency in the MAAC this season so far. Marist has been more lucky than anything else this year in conference play as they've posted 8-2 record overall in games decided by 5 points or less.
Take Sacred Heart in this one.
3 Unit Play Take #859 Central Michigan -2.5 over Eastern Michigan (6:00pm est):
I think Central Michigan is a sleeper team in the MAC. They come in one game behind in the conference this season than Eastern Michigan but they have a better ranked offense and defense than EMU in league play overall. They also have an easy 19 point win over EMU earlier this season as well and swept them in both games versus them last year.
Take Central Michigan minus the points. On a decent run in the NBA over last 2 years ahead 14k+ overall. Join in the winning!
Thank you and good luck,

4 Unit Play - Take #880 Coastal Carolina (-120) Over Old Dominion (7:30 PM, Friday, February 28th)
Coastal comes into this game 10-20 on the year, 2-8 in their last 10 games and coming off a 80-74 win over Georgia State in their most recent matchup. Old Dominion is 11-19 on the year, 3-7 in their last 10 games and currently on a 6 game losing streak after dropping to Marshall on Tuesday in a 83-66 final. Old Dominion is a brutal 4-7 on the road this season and is bringing absolutely zero momentum into this game. Coastal has 10 wins on the season, 6 of those wins have taken place at HTC center. Old Dominion is 3-6 ATS with 2-3 Days of rest, 12-15-1 ATS this season and 5-6 ATS as a road underdog. This is a great spot for Coastal, coming off a win and now dealing with a very beatable Old Dominion team playing back-to-back home games.
Take #880 Coastal Carolina (-120) Over Old Dominion
Griffin Murphy
2 Unit Play - Take #871 Saint Peter’s (+9.5) Over Quinnipiac. (7:00p.m, Friday, February 28th)
Saint Peter’s comes into this game 10-14 on the year, 4-6 in their last 10 games, and coming off a strong 85-79 win over Sacred Heart on Sunday. Quinnipiac is now 17-10 on the year, 8-2 in their last 10 games, and holding onto a 3-game winning streak after beating Manhattan on the road Sunday in a 74-71 final. Saint Peter’s has 10 wins on the year; half of those wins take place on the road, so it does not matter where this team plays; they are going to give everything they've got in the tank. Saint Peter’s is 6-4 ATS as an underdog and 8-6 ATS on the road. Quinnipiac is 5-10-1 ATS after a win, 10-15 ATS this season, and 4-5-1 ATS as home favorites. I believe Saint Peter’s comes in today and gets the job done and covers this huge 9.5 gap.
Take #871 Saint Peter’s (+9.5) Over Quinnipiac.

4 Unit – Take #896 Northwestern (-5) over Iowa (-110) (9:00p.m, Friday, February 28th)
We have a Big Ten matchup between Northwestern and Iowa here tonight. Iowa just came off a loss to Illinois on the road, 81-61. This Iowa team is having a hard time finding wins this year on the road. Currently, their record stands at 1-7 for the year. Now they must travel to one of the hardest atmospheres to go in and pick up a win. Northwestern at home this season is 11-4 on the season. They play their best basketball at home. They’re also coming into this game on a two-game winning streak. Northwestern just beat Minnesota on the road in their last game. Iowa scores points at a high rate. They average over 80 points per game. But anytime they play on the road is never good. They appear to lose momentum in the second half. I believe this Northwestern team continues its winning streak tonight. Take Northwestern -5 over Iowa tonight.
Take #896 Northwestern (-5) over Iowa (-110)
