Here are my picks against the spread for tonight’s First Four Games (didn’t have a lean either way on last night’s games). These are listed in chronological order, and spreads are based on current lines at the Fanduel Sportsbook.

Lehigh (-3.5) vs. Prairie View- (Wed) 6:40– As much as I love my Panthers from Prairie View, the Mountain Hawks are just the better team here who played better baskeball down the strech of the season.

Miami-OH (+6.5) vs. SMU- (Wed) 9:15– I think the Redhawks will play a lot looser than they have the past few weeks now that the burden of the unbeaten season has been taken away, and they have been given this opportunity to play in the Big Dance. I am not sure Miami wins outright, but they should make it a really close game, especially with the help of their local fans who will make this feel like a home game for them.
