We are under a week away from Selection Sunday with the First Four games being played on March 16 and 17. But I don’t want to get ahead of myself as we have two conference tournaments (Big South and Horizon) starting on Tuesday.

Today, however, we have some regular-season games on the schedule. We know that late in the season some teams have more to play for than others. That’s just a fact and we see that on today’s betting board.

- North Carolina Central ML (+1700)
- Over/under 120.5
- Norfolk State is playing for at least a share of the MEAC regular-season title.
- North Carolina Central is in seventh place in the MEAC standings. They need one win this week to have any shot at moving up but they are 2-10 in conference play and they are 1-13 on the road this season.
South Carolina State @ Howard (4:30 p.m. CT)
- Howard -21.5

Delaware State @ Coppin State (4:30 p.m. CT)
- Never say never but Coppin State is two games back of No. 1-spot in the MEAC with two games to play. One of those games comes at home against second-place team Morgan State.
- Delaware State is 0-12 in MEAC play and is winless on the year.
- There most likely won’t be a line for this game.
Hartford @ UMass Lowell (5 p.m. CT)

- Jackson State has the No. 1-seed locked up in the SWAC and with a win moves to 16-0 in conference play.

Bethune-Cookman @ Grambling (5:30 p.m. CT)
- Grambling State -10.5
- Bethune-Cookman ML (+550)
- Over/under 131.5
- Bethune-Cookman is 4-12 in conference play and won’t make the SWAC postseason tournament.

#5 Baylor @ #9 Iowa State

- Iowa State is looking for its first conference regular-season title since 1999-00.
South Dakota @ Western Illinois (6 p.m. CT)
- South Dakota can still tie South Dakota State and get a share of the Summit League regular-season title. Monday’s game with Western Illinois is a make-up game. If USD wins, conference tournament No. 1-seed could come down to tiebreakers.
- WIU is in seventh-place in the conference currently with most likely no way of moving up in those standings.
Abilene Christian @ Lamar (6:30 p.m. CT)

- Lamar needs to stay ahead of New Mexico State for the No. 10-seed.
Temple @ SMU (7 p.m.)
- Temple is 7-7 in the AAC with two games left and is currently in fourth-place.

Portland State @ Idaho (8 p.m. CT)
- Idaho -16.5
