Ohio State vs. Auburn

1:00 p.m. East Coast

This game, played at State Farm Arena, features a larger venue that may obscure the view of shooters. Ohio State ranks 28th nationally in points allowed per possession, while Auburn ranked 225th in possessions per game entering Friday.

Selection: Under 154 (Greg’s total disability count: 149.5)

Wichita State vs. DePaul

1:00 p.m. East Coast

While DePaul’s 3-point shooting percentage of 39.1% (23rd nationally) drew attention, their rebounding has also improved significantly, ranking 36th in rebound percentage. Wichita State lags behind, ranking 193rd in that metric. Place.

Pick: DePaul -3 (Greg’s handicap: DePaul -7.5)

UCLA vs. Arizona

3:00 p.m. East Coast

Despite playing on neutral ground in Arizona, UCLA excelled at slowing down its opponents and led the country in turnovers forced per possession and points allowed per possession. Arizona has struggled with efficiency, ranking 278th in opponent 3-point shooting percentage and 234th in offensive 3-point percentage.

Pick: UCLA +3.5 (Greg’s handicap: UCLA -2)

Seton Hall vs. Rutgers

3:00 p.m. East Coast

Seton Hall’s offense struggled, ranking 320th nationally in points scored per possession, but its defense was elite, ranking 12th in points scored per possession on the road. At Rutgers, however, the defensive rating fell to 151st in terms of points allowed per possession.

Pick: Seton Hall +13 (Greg’s Handicap: Seton Hall +10.5)

Florida International vs. Stetson

4:00 p.m. East Coast

Stetson’s defense ranks 342nd nationally in points allowed per possession and has yet to hold an opponent under 71 points this season. Florida International plays at a high tempo (61 possessions per game) and may have difficulty containing a Stetson team with a 35% shooting rate from long range.

Selection: Over 147 (Greg’s total disability count: 152.5)

Missouri State vs. Washington State

5:00 p.m. Eastern

Missouri State was vulnerable at the rim, allowing opponents to shoot 38.3% from long range on the road. Washington State ranks 30th in possessions per game and is looking to exploit that weakness by increasing the tempo.

Selection: Over 142.5 (Greg’s total disability: 149.5)

St. Bonaventure vs. Providence

5:00 p.m. Eastern

Since Bryce Hopkins’ return, Providence has improved but remains inconsistent offensively, scoring 70 points or fewer in two of the last three games. St. Bonaventure’s defense is among the best in the nation, ranking 16th in points allowed per possession and 14th in fewest fouls per defensive play.

Selection: St. Bonaventure +3.5 (Greg’s handicap: St. Bonaventure -3)

Utah Valley vs. Jacksonville State

Pick: Jacksonville State -2 (Greg’s Handicap: Jacksonville State -6)

Louisville vs. Kentucky

5:15 p.m. Eastern

Kentucky’s guard rotation is depleted due to injuries to Kerr Kriisa and Lamont Butler. In their first game without them, against Colgate, they scored a season-low 78 points.

Selection: Under 159 (Greg’s total disability count: 154.5)

San Diego vs. Fresno State

7:00 p.m. East Coast

Both offenses struggled mightily, with Fresno State ranking 335th in points per possession and shooting just 27.1% from 3-point range (342nd nationally).

Selection: Under 152.5 (Greg’s total disability: 147.5)

UW Green Bay vs. UC Santa Barbara

7:00 p.m. East Coast

UW Green Bay has one of the worst defenses in the country and ranks 344th in points allowed per possession. The team has also struggled with internal issues, including replacing the nation’s all-time scoring leader, Anthony Roy, in a loss to Cleveland State last weekend.

Pick: UC Santa Barbara -12.5 (Greg’s Handicap: UC Santa Barbara -18.5)
