1* Iona +3.5 (at Loyola MD)
Iona, at home, beat Loyola MD by 24 on 12/7. Is home court worth 28 to Loyola MD??? Iona is 20-3 SU in last 23 against Loyola MD, and 4-1 ATS in last 5 on the road at Loyola MD. Loyola MD lost at home to Fairfield on 1/4.
1* Penn State +7.5 (at Illinois)
Penn State has been winning and covering. Illinois, since 12/20, has 3 ugly home losses, as faves (Miami OH, Tenn St., and Ohio State). Illinois is panicking a bit; Penn State is rising. Here's a good article:

1* Drake -7 (at Evansville)
I've been riding Drake a little this season. They are a top 30 team -- the best team in Iowa --and here they are facing mediocre competition. Drake had solid road wins in December at Iowa and Wichita State. Evansville has had two losses in conference play (Indiana St. at home, and N. Iowa away) in last 2. This looks like no time to get off the Drake wagon.
Good luck.
