The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every Division I college basketball game 10,000 times. Over the past five-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated an impressive profit of over $1,700 for $100 players on its top-rated college basketball picks against the spread. Anyone who has followed it has seen HUGE returns.

The model knows the Aggies are potent on the offensive glass. North Carolina A&T leads the Big South in offensive rebound rate, securing 31.7 percent of missed shots, and that leads to second-chance opportunities. The Aggies are also No. 1 in block avoidance, with only six percent of shots rejected this season. North Carolina takes care of the ball well, committing a turnover on only 18 percent of possessions, and the Aggies force a turnover on more than 19 percent of trips on defense. That includes a 10 percent steal rate for the season, and Radford's offense is below-average in assist rate, free throw rate, two-point percentage and free throw percentage.

The model also knows the Highlanders are leading the Big South in havoc creation. Radford forces a turnover on 21.6 percent of defensive possessions this season, including a 9.8 percent steal rate, and the Highlanders are also very good on the defensive glass. Radford is also in the top three of the Big South in offensive rebound rate, securing more than 30 percent of missed shots, and North Carolina A&T is strongly below-average in the Big South in defensive efficiency. The Highlanders are second-worst in the conference in free throw prevention, with below-average marks in three-point defense and defensive rebound rate.
