Horizon League action here today has IPFW taking on Wisconsin Milwaukee. Fort Wayne is 4th in the the conference with a 12-6 record and 17-10 mark overall. Meanwhile, Milwaukee is 9th with a 7-12 record and 9-19 overall record. The Fort Wayne Mastadons bring a six game win streak into today's contest after beating Wisconsin Green Bay last time, 74-55, as a 5-point road favorite. they have also covered five of their last six games. While the offense is only 8th in the conference, the defense ranks number one. They have the top defense in limiting offensive rebounds at 27.1% and tops in takeaways at 22.5%. Milwaukee Panthers are coming off a loss to Cleveland State, 61-78, as a 6-point dog. That makes them 2-7 S/U and ATS in their last nine games. The offense ranks 10th in the conference and the defense ranks 8th. Fort Wayne laying four looks like a bargain price to me. Play IPFW.

MAC action here today has 5th place Akron (9-6) taking on 11th place Eastern Michigan (4-11). The Akron Zips are 15-9 overall and look to break a 3-game losing streak here today. They are coming off a loss against Northern Illinois, 63-66, as a 12-point home favorite. Akron ranks better than their record in both offense (4th) and defense (5th). This is a decent offensive team, 2nd in the MAC in 2-point FG% at 52.6%. They will take on a poor Eastern Michigan team that is 9-17 overall and coming off a loss to Buffalo, 69-83, as a 10.5-point dog. The Eagles are 1-6 S/U and 2-5 ATS their last seven games. Eastern has the conferences worst defense in efficiency and worst in offensive rebounds and worst in 3-point FG% at just 31.3%. The defense is a big better, but still in the latter half of the conference in most areas. I'll take Akron here today and lay the points.

Northern Kentucky Norse look to build on their three-game in streak here tonight at Detroit Mercy. Norse are also 9-1 S/U and ATS in their last 10 games. The only blemish is against this Detroit team which won back on Feb 5, 7464 at Northern Kentucky. Detroit just 10-13 S/U and riding a two-game losing streak coming into tonight. The Titans are 2-3 S/U and ATS in their last five games. Norse looking for some payback tonight against the only team that has beaten them in the last 10 games. Play Northern Kentucky.

Big East action today has 4th place Creighton taking on 10th place Depaul. Creighton is 8-5 in the Big East and 16-8 overall while Depaul is 3-11 in Big East and 12-12 overall. Creighton looks to build on their three-game win streak. Two of those wins coming back-to-back vs Georgetown. Creighton has a very good defense, ranked 1st in efficiency in the Big East. However, they also rank 10th in offense. But defensively they rank 1st in 3-point field goals (29.8%) and 1st in 2-point field goals (429.9%). Depaul hopes to stay above .500 tonight after losing two straight games. They are coming off a loss to Butler, 71-73 as a 5-point favorite. The Blue Demons have just three wins in their last 14 games. DePaul ranks 8th in offense and 10th in defense in the Big East. I like this Creighton defense to shutdown a poor Depaul offense here tonight. Play Creighton.

ACC action here tonight has the Miami Hurricanes taking on Louisville. The Hurricanes are 18-7 S/U and having a very nice season. They currently sit in 4th in the ACC with a 10-4 conference mark. The Canes are coming off a pair of wins, including a nice upset win at Wake Forest, 76-72, as a 6.5-point dog. The Canes have now won and covered four of their last six games. Miami is one of the better offensive teams in the country, ranked in the top 21. They are 2nd in the ACC where they rank third in three point percentage, 38.1% and 2nd in 2-point percentage, 54.7%. This has been a very uncharacteristic season for the Louisville Cardinals. They are just 11-13 S/U and 7-16-1 ATS. They have lost six straight games and nine of their last 10 games. They are also not covering spreads with a 2-11-1 ATS mark their last 14 games. They rank 11th in offense and 13th in defense in the ACC and there isn't much to be happy about either. I like Miami here as they are the much better team and looking for that NCAA bid this year. Play Miami.
