Seems like every year it is Sam Houston St. or Stephen F. Austin representing this league in the NCAA Tournament. Sam Houston brings another good team into this meeting at 15-6 on the season. They are also 10-1 in their last 11. This however is priced high and will be the biggest line they have had to cover in the 10-1 stretch. Central Arkansas at 3-14 appears to pose little threat after having dropped 7 straight. They can shoot the ball well as they have shot 48% or better in 5 of their last 9 which includes 48.2% against this Sam Houston St. team earlier in the season. I don't think the Bearkats bring their "A' game here, and C. Arkansas can shoot well enough for the back door cover here. Make the play on C. Arkansas.

Pro Picks
Central Arkansas vs. Sam Houston
A big tournament for Central Arkansas, only the second time they've reached the tourney, the first since 2013. The Bears, after a late Saturday night correction in the Southland Conference tiebreaking system, emerged from a five-way tie for eighth in the final standings to earn the eighth and final berth in the tournament. "It's an opportunity for us to play again, and we're looking forward to that," said head coach Russ Pennell. Sam Houston State was supposed to have the best team in the conference this season but underachieved. They've lost six of their last eight games and are on a 3-8-2 ATS run. Central Arkansas won the only meeting between the teams this season, taking a 67-65 victory over the conference's preseason favorite, so grab the hungry dog in another close one. Play Central Arkansas.
