It was an inconsistent February for me in the CBB streets, but March is in my blood and I've been on fire since the calendar flipped to the new month. I'm 8-3 since March 1st with my picks posted in the Discord for around a 9.5 unit profit. Let's keep the good times flowing into Sunday...

Indiana State -13.5 -120 

This line is still -110 at some spots, but I don't have access to those books so I'm writing it up and betting it at -120 given that's the current line on FanDuel. Indiana State is everyone's favorite cinderella team already - they come into Sunday with a 16-3 record placing them in first place of the Mountain Valley Conference. They're one game ahead of the Drake Bulldogs who face off with the third-place Bradley Braves on Sunday. Drake is currently favored at home, so Indiana State will be motivated here to maintain their first place spot with a win. 

Murray State has been extremely underwhelming this season, especially on the road where they're just 4-8. Indiana State, however, is 12-1 at home with an average victory margin of 16. They're averaging over 85 PPG as a team at home as well, and I don't think Murray State has the fire power to keep pace with their offense. Indiana State handled them by 9 on the road earlier this season, so a 13.5 point spread at home feels like the right number to me. 

Overall, Indiana State should crush on the boards here and they have the ability to generate big offensive outputs at home. This has been a bad season for Murray State, and I don't see anything changing these last few games. Indiana State is primed for an NCAA tournament berth and I'm backing them to beat the spread on Sunday afternoon.
