Maryland won at home Sunday against Nebraska, 69-66. Ja’Kobi Gillespie led the way with 22 points for the Terps. The Fighting Illini lost a hard-fought game in East Lansing Sunday to the Michigan State Spartans, 80-78. Kasparas Jakucionis is Illinois’ leading scorer averaging 15.9 points per game.

In the aftermath of an ugly home loss to Detroit, Jalen Green and the Rockets (+2.5) will look to make amends versus Darius Garland and the Cavaliers.

The Blue Jays won three straight (Butler, Providence, UConn) and have significant edges in three-point shooting, defensive rebounding, and offensive turnover percentage in that span. Creighton is elite when it doesn’t turn the ball over and DePaul ranks 317 th during January when it comes to forcing turnovers. I like Creighton -6 to -6.5.”
