This is the play-in round of the Horizon League Tournament. <\/p>\n

IU Indianapolis (7-24) has dropped six straight and just fell to Purdue Fort Wayne 87-81, failing to cover as 1.5-point home dogs. Similarly, Cleveland State (10-21) has lost seven in a row and just got rolled by Robert Morris 83-64, failing to cover as 12.5-point road dogs.<\/p>\n

This line opened with Cleveland State listed as a 1.5-point home favorite.<\/p>\n

Sharps have quietly sided with the home chalk, as Cleveland State is being juiced up -1.5 (-115) and a few other books have touched -2. We have never seen this line get down to -1 or lower. Reading between the lines, all movement and liability is in favor of the home chalk Vikings.<\/p>\n

At DraftKings, Cleveland State is taking in 77% of spread bets and 89% of spread dollars, a notable one-way \u201clow bets, higher dollars\u201d sharp split in their favor. <\/p>\n

Ken Pom has Cleveland State winning by two points (90-88). <\/p>\n

As a result, many sharps have looked to gain some wiggle room by playing the Vikings on the moneyline at -120.<\/p>\n

At DraftKings, Cleveland State is receiving 74% of moneyline bets and 81% of moneyline dollars, further evidence of heavy Pro and Joe action in favor of a straight up Vikings victory.<\/p>\n

Cleveland State has the better offensive efficiency (69th vs 145th), three-point shooting (27th vs 262nd) and free-throw shooting (52nd vs 202nd).<\/p>\n

This is also a revenge play for the Vikings, who lost to the Jaguars on the road 82-74 back in early February.<\/p>\n

Idaho (16-14) just saw their two-game win streak come to an end, falling to Northern Colorado 76-67 and losing outright as 2-point home favorites. On the other hand, Eastern Washington (13-17) has won eight in a row and just dominated Northern Arizona 88-57, easily covering as 10-point home favorites.<\/p>\n

This line opened with Eastern Washington listed as a 2.5-point home favorite.<\/p>\n

Sharps have laid the wood with the red-hot Eagles, steaming Eastern Washington up from -2.5 to -3.5.<\/p>\n

At DraftKings, Eastern Washington is taking in only 41% of spread bets but a whopping 88% of spread dollars. At Circa, Eastern Washington is receiving 67% of spread bets and 98% of spread dollars. Both books are showing a massive \u201clow bets, higher dollars\u201d sharp bet discrepancy in favor of the home chalk.<\/p>\n

Ken Pom has Eastern Washington winning by three points (78-75). He also has the Eagles ranked higher (158th vs 173rd).<\/p>\n

With this in mind, many bettors have preferred to protect themselves and target Eastern Washington on the moneyline at -170.<\/p>\n

At DraftKings, Eastern Washington is taking in 79% of moneyline bets and 83% of moneyline dollars, further evidence of heavy pro support banking on a straight up victory for the home team on Senior Night.<\/p>\n

Eastern Washington has the better offensive efficiency (103rd vs 178th), effective field goal percentage (72nd vs 159th), three-point shooting (43rd vs 115th) and free-throw shooting (92nd vs 157th).<\/p>\n

Eastern Washington is 8-3 at home. Idaho is 6-9 on the road.<\/p>\n

This is also a revenge play for the Eagles, who lost to the Vandals on the road 84-81 back in early January. <\/p>\n

Idaho State (12-18) just saw their two-game win streak come to an end, falling to Weber State 83-73 and losing outright as 2-point home favorites. Meanwhile, Sacramento State (9-20) has dropped seven in a row and just got rolled by Montana State 82-61, failing to cover as 7-point road dogs.<\/p>\n

This line opened with Sacramento State listed as a 1-point home favorite.<\/p>\n

Right off the bat, this opening like speaks volumes. Even when factoring in home court advantage, why is a 9-20 team on a seven game losing streak favored over a team with a better won-loss record?<\/p>\n

Sharps have embraced the fishy side, pushing Sacramento State up from -1 to -1.5. <\/p>\n

At DraftKings, Sacramento State is receiving 53% of spread bets and 61% of spread dollars, a \u201clow bets, higher dollars\u201d bet split indicating public indecision but also respected sharp action on the home team. <\/p>\n

Ken Pom has Sacramento State winning by one point (81-80).<\/p>\n

As a result, many sharps have looked to gain some cushion by playing the Hornets on the moneyline at -120.<\/p>\n

At Circa, Sacramento State is receiving 50% of moneyline bets and a hefty 96% of moneyline dollars, further evidence of heavy pro money from wiseguys in the desert backing a straight up victory for the home team on Senior Night.<\/p>\n

Sacramento State commit fewer turnovers on offense (29th vs 202nd), have the better free-throw shooting (16th vs 70th) and force more turnovers on defense (157th vs 277th). <\/p>\n

Sacramento State is 9-4 at home. Idaho State is 3-11 on the road. <\/p>\n

This is also a revenge play for the Hornets, who lost to the Bengals on the road 97-84 back on January 1st. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today we kick off Conference Tournament week with an 18 game College Basketball slate to choose from.
