5 DIME - VALPARAISO CRUSADERS
Coming back with Valpo tonight.
This team has been pretty good to me this year and personally, they are undervalued tonight.
Now some will focus on a 5-5 SU run the last 10, but I will look at the 7-3 run ATS and in those 10 games.$ Valpo has been competitive in 9 of those 10 with the only blowout loss in bracket-buster against Bowling Green.
They are 7-3 ATS at home for the year, split with Detroit losing by 10 at Detroit, and won by 4 at home, and overall they have won 9 of their last 13 conference games SU.
As for Detroit, they too are 5-5 SU their last 10 but a dismal 3-6 ATS in their lined games and all things considered, Valpo at home is the value play.
I've always maintained this Detroit bunch plays down to their competition as evidenced by their 9-21 ATS run last 30 facing a team with a losing SU record, and at 5-8 SU on the road this year - bad spot for Detroit.
You throw in Valpo's 9-3 SU at home, 10-2 ATS run last 12 in Horizon League play and a stellar 8-1-1 ATS run last 10 facing a team with a winning SU record and the home team is flat out the play.
Valparaiso advances with the home win tonight.

We like this Marshall team. They have played some tough out of conference teams - Old Dom, N.C., W.V. and while they have lost all of them, they played 2 of 3 very tough. They are 14-3 at home and are averaging 80 points per game. With Utep being ranked this is a chance for Marshall to get a big win infront of the home crowd. We like them tonight.

The Yellow Jackets covered 2 straight in this series, including January 19th at home. Tech will look to improve their conference tournament seeding with a win here and should be quite competitive after all, they've had 1 extra prep day and are 6-0 ATS as a road dog in this spread range. Tech is coming off a narrow home win (non-cover) but has a tendency to play harder following an underachieving effort; for example, they're 5-1-1 ATS following an ATS loss. The Tigers, however, are coming off a win and cover at FSU Sunday, but struggle with consistency with a 1-5 AS mark off a SU win and 0-4 ATS following an ATS win. We'll look for the 'Jackets to hang tight here.
