ANALYSIS: Drake has been shooting 91.9 percent from the free-throw line over their last three games. However, the Bulldogs shooting percentage is 43 percent on the road. Belmont shoots 42.4 percent from beyond the arc and 51.8 percent from the floor at home. Drake does have a defensive and experience edge, but the Bruins defense have been holding opponents to less than 67 points at home and are 9-2 at Curb this season. I’m on Belmont.

ANALYSIS: BYU wants to play fast and with the home court, they’ll dictate the pace. The Cougars are shooting 56.1 percent from the floor and 80.9 percent from the free-throw line over their last three games. Saint Mary’s shoots it at 51.1 percent effectively and 65.5 from the free-throw line on the road. I’m on BYU.

ANALYSIS: Fordham has played very well this season but haven’t played the best competition of late. George Washington has been more battle tested. The Colonials have been more efficient from the field at 47.2 percent as compared to the Rams 42.2 percent and rank in the top-75 in offensive efficiency. Fordham has the edge on the boards but both shoot their free-throws very well. I’m on George Washington.

ANALYSIS: Wake Forest returns home after a tough loss at Pittsburgh. The Demon Deacons offense is more very effective at home averaging 81 points per game. NC State is dealing with some injures and their defense has given up 80 points or more in three of their last four games. Wake Forest shoots 37.4 percent from beyond arc this season and guards the perimeter well. I’m on Wake Forest.

ANALYSIS: Wisconsin has dropped five of their last six. The Badgers finally return home where they shoot 42.6 percent from three and 71.6 percent at the free-throw line. Their defense is holding their opponents to an average of less than 62 points per contest. Illinois is shooting less than 45 percent on the road and less than 68 percent from the free-throw line. The Illini will want to push the play but the home team usually dictates the pace as the Badgers will want a slower pace. Illinois averages 14.6 turnovers on the road as compared to Wisconsin’s 8.7 at home. I’m on Wisconsin.
