7:00 PM Eastern

Both defenses have struggled, with Wofford ranking 288th in points allowed per possession overall and Charleston sitting 243rd in points allowed per possession at home. Charleston’s uptempo style, ranking 13th nationally in possessions per game entering Sunday, could lead to a high-scoring matchup.

Grand Canyon’s defense has regressed compared to prior seasons, ranking 147th in points allowed per possession. Offensively, they’ve struggled with turnovers, ranking 217th in turnovers per possession. A notable 24.9% of their points come from free throws, the 16th-highest percentage in the country, which could be neutralized by Louisiana Tech’s disciplined defense, committing the third-fewest fouls per possession at home.

Pick: Louisiana Tech +2 (Greg’s Handicap: Louisiana Tech -2)

Montana vs. Northern Iowa

8:00 PM Eastern

Montana excels at guarding the 3-point line, ranking 56th in opponent 3-point percentage (29.9%) entering Sunday. This could disrupt Northern Iowa, whose offense relies heavily on 3-point shooting, ranking 6th nationally at 41.4%. However, Northern Iowa struggles with offensive rebounds, ranking 353rd in recovering missed shots.

Pick: Montana +10 (Greg’s Handicap: Montana +6)
