Atlantic 10 Conference action tonight as Rhode Island takes on VCU. Rhode Island has lost five of their last six conference games both S/U and ATS and now sits at 12-12 and looks headed to a minor post season tournament. The Rams are also just 4-9 ATS on the road this season and 4-12 ATS their last 16 on the road dating back to last season. VCU is headed toward the NCAA's with a 19-6 S/U and 16-6 ATS mark and looks to win its 20th game of the season tonight. The VCU Rams are 4-0 ATS in their last four home games. The favorite has owned this series, covering the last eight. I like the favorite here again tonight. Play VCU.

4th ranked Kentucky takes on Missouri here today in a SEC conference clash. The 4th ranked Wildcats are 21-4 S/U and 15-10 ATS on the season. Kentucky has two losses in conference, at Alabama and at home vs LSU a few games ago. Still, the Wildcats have covered nine of their last 10 in conference play. Missouri might go to the CIT or CBI if they want, but other than that the postseason looks out of touch for Missouri with their 12-12 record. The Tigers are also 3-5 ATS their last eight games. The favorite has covered seven of the last nine in this series and that's who I'm on tonight. Play Kentucky.

Both of these Big 12 teams have NCAA postseason aspirations. The reality is that likely just Iowa State will be going with Baylor likely heading to the NIT's. Baylor is 16-9 S/U on the season and 15-9 ATS. The Bears have lost three of their last four games both S/U and ATS. This is the second meeting between these clubs, with Baylor taking the first on their home court, 73-70. Iowa State is 19-6 and can get that 20th win here tonight. The Cyclones have won five of their last six conference games. They are also 11-5-2 ATS in their last 18 home games against a team with a losing road record. The home team has covered 18 of the last 24 in this series and Iowa State is 11-2 ATS the last 13 vs Baylor at home. Take Iowa State.
