Neither of these teams are going to want to see UNC-Greensboro again after the Spartans dealt losses to both the Blue Hens and Bulldogs. Delaware had its four-game winning streak snapped: two of those wins were against non-Division I competition and two were on the road. Blue Hen big man Eric Carter is arguably the best player on both teams and will bounce back from a 14-point outing against UNCG. The Bulldogs have been slowed by a not fully healthy DaQuan Bracey.

Seton Hall has looked darn good in wins against Grand Canyon and Hawaii. Of course, you’ll remember that they were trounced by 23 points at Nebraska and lost 66-64 to Saint Louis, home. That makes them 0-2 SU and ATS vs. higher-conference programs that haven’t been to many NCAA Tournaments recently. More like, none in the last four years, and Nebraska has one NCAA appearance since anyone can remember. Miami plays in the ACC and they’ve been to a bunch of NCAA Tournaments recently.

Have the Wildcats bounced back after losing consecutive games? They have done well in Orlando by beating Canisius and Oklahoma State, but the Seminoles are a different team. Florida State should own the boards against the smaller Villanova forwards. Coach Leonard Hamilton’s team is also much deeper and can win even when the 3-pointers are not falling (even though the squad has hit 39.0% of its 3-pointers). That is not something that can be said about Villanova.

Teams in Colorado usually enjoy a home court advantage because they are playing at altitude. The Falcons’ edge will be negated by the Buffaloes who are used to playing in the mountains. Colorado has won the last nine meetings, including a 12-point win at home last year. McKinley Wright IV leads four double-digit scorers that have skill and size

Why couldn’t Jevon Carter be allowed one more season with the Mountaineers? This team needs a player just like him to be really good. Of course, that could be said about almost every team. While Beetle Bolden should play in the game after getting back from an elbow injury, he is a scorer who does not make his teammates better. Giant center Derrik Smits could cause the smaller West Virginia players some issues.

The Bears are an interesting team that just added Yale transfer guard Makai Mason to their collective stew. The 6-1 guard could slot next to King McClure to give the team a solid back court to go along with the usual allotment of athletes in the front court. Ole Miss relies on Terence Davis for a great deal of offense and coach Scott Drew has the components to slow him down

When these two teams were in the Big East together, the Cardinals dominated the series. That was five years ago and neither team has even the same coach, but Louisville matches up pretty well with the Golden Eagles. Coach Chris Mack can send multiple defenders at Markus Howard, while Jordan Nwora and V.J. King should be able to score against their Marquette defenders.

There was a time when the Tar Heels and Longhorns meeting would have a national following, but Texas has fallen out of the headlines. The problem for coach Shaka Smart is that his team is not proficient from long range. They are hitting 29.3% of their 3-pointers, which allows opposing defenses to pack the paint and own the boards. North Carolina does not need any help in these areas

The Explorers are going to have a hard time penetrating the Miami defense which is only allowing its opponents to hit 39.6% of its field goals and 34.6% of its 3-pointers, Hurricane opponents even have a hard time from the free-throw line (68.3%), not that coach Jim Larranaga can do anything about that. La Salle has not beat the spread in its last 10 games on a neutral court and Miami is not the team to start a trend against

The Tigers did not get any surprise shooting performances against Duke and the team made just 36.4% of its field goals in the loss. Despite the poor shooting, Auburn kept the game within reach. They will shoot better against Arizona who showed their lack of depth in the front court against Gonzaga. Auburn’s front court is deep and Jared Harper is going to take advantage of any openings in the Wildcat defense

After their magical Final Four run, the Ramblers are overrated. They are still a decent team and could factor into the Missouri Valley tournament bid, but they are not better than Boston College. Ky Bowman is an incredible offensive player (24.3 points on 51.6 percent from the field) and has decent complementary players in Jordan Chatman, Wynston Tabbs, and Steffon Mitchell.

Coach Sean Miller pushed his team to a nice win over Iowa State. The Wildcats get to play Gonzaga who they played four times from 2014 to 2016 when times were nicer to Arizona. Gonzaga is still as powerful as ever, and will be able to take advantage of the fact that Arizona had to put the pedal to the medal to beat the Cyclones. Zags, don’t look past the Wildcats!

After losing their opener to Loyola Marymount, the Runnin’ Rebels have bounced back with a pair of wins. The Lions share a conference with Pacific, who have also won three of four, including two games on the road. Shakur Juiston may not be a lead scorer, but freshman Bryce Hamilton is a player to watch after he put up 16 points in the win over UC-Riverside. Noah Robotham has to take care of the ball for UNLV to have much success this season.

The Bluejays seem somewhat out of sync to start the season. After three ACL surgeries in his young life, Martin Krampelj does not look healthy and the team does not have a scoring option that it can rely. The same can not be said for the Panthers, who have presumptive Sun Belt Player of the Year D’Marcus Simonds (23.0 points per game, 25 points against St. Bonaventure on Monday). Jeff Thomas gives coach Ron Hunter an excellent wing man. You’ll be seeing the Panthers in March.
