*Free Play on Magic* The Orlando Magic are coming off a couple blowout losses. They need to get things turned around, and the situational spot here is tough for their opponent. The Miami Heat are coming off a five game road trip. That first game back is a difficult spot especially when laying points against a competitive team. I'll grab the points and the underdog.

(CBB 3 Pack is up for tonight. 12 straight CBB winners. Get on board!)

*3 Star Play Over* The Queens Royals have been an offensive machine at home this year. They are averaging 95.3 points per game on their home floor. Queens has scored 85 points or more in six of their last eight games. Central Arkansas has been good on defense at home, but they are allowing 82.6 points per game on the road.

Queens is first in the Atlantic Sun in offensive efficiency. Central Arkansas is second in the Atlantic Sun in offensive efficiency.

Queens is allowing 83.5 points per game on the season as a whole. They are 311th in the country in defensive efficiency.

Take the over here.

*3 Star Play Under* The Northern Iowa Panthers are a good under team. Northern Iowa is bottom five nationally in tempo. They are excellent at defending without fouling. They are 30th in the nation in defensive rebounding percentage. They are also weak on offense. They just don't have many guys who can go get their own points.

Southern Illinois does play at a quicker pace, but they are a very solid defensive team. Southern Illinois is 74th in defensive efficiency. They are 225th in offensive efficiency.

Northern Iowa next to never gets to the line and they don't get second chances.

With the line move up, I have to go to the under here.

Take the under.

*4 Star Play Under* The Fordham Rams are 352nd in the nation in average possession length. They are stalling in a big way on offense. Fordham is also top 25 in the nation in defending without fouling and grabbing defensive rebounds. They are 364th out of 365 teams in the country in FTA/FGA.

La Salle plays very slowly too at 329th out of 365 in tempo. The Explorers rely heavily on getting to the line and getting second chance points. I don't think that will be easy to come by against Fordham.

The pace here should be around 60 possessions. I look for a really slow grinding style.

Take the under.

*3 Star Play Under* The Eastern Illinois Panthers have been a good under team under Coach Marty Simmons. Eastern Illinois is 314th in average possession length, so they are playing very slowly. The Panthers are also 354th out of 365 teams nationally in offensive efficiency. They are solid on defense at 114th in the nation in effective field goal percentage defense. Eastern Illinois is 10th in the OVC in offensive efficiency and third in defensive efficiency.

UT Martin is first in the OVC in defensive efficiency. They are allowing just 0.96 points per possession in league play. UT Martin has seen 5 of their last 7 games finish at 126 points or fewer. They have had only one game top 130 points in their last seven. UT Martin is 324th nationally in overall tempo.

The first game between these two finished at 126 points, and that was with a slightly quicker pace than I think this game will be played at on Thursday night.

The under is 5-2 in Eastern Illinois' seven home games this year with the average game going under the total by 6.1 points per game.

Take the under here.
