Matched up against William & Mary, the Beacons outscored the Tribe 50-36 in the first half on the way to an 88-66 win. Valparaiso’s Kobe King led the team on 19 points, and Sheldon Edwards added 17 points. 

The Beacons are 5-1 ATS in their last six overall and 1-5 ATS in their last six Tuesday games. The under is 21-8 in Valparaiso’s last 29 overall. 

Meanwhile, the Panthers are 2-5 ATS in their last seven versus a team with a winning straight-up record and the over is 5-0 in their last five overall. The over is 5-0 in Prairie View’s last five road games. 

PICK: I’m going with Valparaiso. The Beacons have been decent offensively over their last eight games, posting at least 66 points in each outing. Valparaiso is coming off a big win over a bad team in William & Mary; five Beacons players scored nine points or more in the victory. 

As for the Panthers, they’ve had a few good offensive outings this year themselves, but they’ve also given up 83 or more points in each of tier last six games. Valparaiso should have plenty of opportunities to put up points in this one.
