Statistically speaking Furman and Samford are very similar, but Furman is home this time and already lost to Samford on the road earlier this season despite being -11 FTA while Samford shot 84% from the FT line where they only average 63% on the road and are -7.9 FTA on the road which means Furman should get some extra attempts from the line today and that should be enough for the difference. Samford is 1-12 on the road and they have Davidson up next at home which is a good look ahead spot as they have already beaten Furman this year.
Classic hang over game here for Syracuse against Notre Dame and we are getting plenty of points because of Notre Dame playing poorly ATS over their last 10 going 2-8. Syracuse just won the game of the century as ESPN hyped it against Duke in OT on Saturday night. I expect Syracuse to be physically tired, but mentally drained. They'll have to battle to win this game as Notre Dame typically has the shooters to score on Syracuse zone defenses. On the flip side I don't see Syracuse's offense playing as well as they did the other day which gives me plenty of confidence playing this number.
