Premium Pick

USC Upstate shoots 46.3% from the field as a team with a four-guard attack. They're not winning many games but are hanging in there on a 3-2 spread run. That included covering as a +11.5 underdog at UNC Asheville in a one-point game and an 86-77 loss to High Point the last time out as a +15 dog. They're also on a 6-5 run UNDER the total. They match up well against a Longwood group that is seventh in field goal shooting allowed. Longwood ranks fourth in the nine-team conference defensively in points given up (71.5 per game) and in 3-point defense (.313). Longwood has failed to cover its last two games as a double-digit favorite, nipping Maryland-Eastern Shore (80-76) as 20-point chalk and Tennessee-Martin (64-62) as a 12-point favorite. They're 1-5 ATS this season as favorites of -7.5 or higher. Play USC Upstate + UNDER the total.
