Point Spread: 3.50 | -110.00 Troy (Away)
Result: Win
The set-up: It's the Troy Trojans and Little Rock Trojans squaring off Monday night in Sun Belt action. Troy is 10-10 (2-4 in Sun Belt play) and Little Rock 12-7 (3-3).
Troy: The Trojans can score, averaging 80.6 PPG (43rd). The 6-6 Varnado (15.3 & 6.7) is the team's best player, helped out up front by the 6-8 Davis (8.4 & 4.8) and the 6-6 Walker (7.8 & 6.6). The team also owns a solid perimeter group, led by Person (14.2), Hollimon (11.5) and PG Baker (9.2 & 3.2 APG).
Little Rock: Chris Beard led Little Rock to a 30-win season last year, including an upset of Purdue in the NCAA's first round. However, he was a "one and done" coach, fleeing for Texas Tech. These Trojans could really use a win, after losing five of their last eight games. Guard Marcus Johnson Jr. leads the team with 14.3 PPG but the team's strength is a frontcourt led by the 6-6 Jackson (10.6 & 4.7), the 6-11 Shoshi (10.3 & 7.8) and SF Hill (9.5 & 5.2).
The pick: Little Rock may be 7-3 SU at home while Troy is just 2-8 on the road but since winning 65-63 at Hawaii back on Nov. 25, Troy has covered all seven of its true road games plus won neutral-site games in Las Vegas just before Christmas. Take the points and make Troy a 10* play.
