With conference seasons underway and the NFL Playoffs in full swing, the Sunday college hoops betting slate gets skinnier. However, today's slate has quite a few intriguing games, and we'll be getting a double-scoop of flavor from one of my favorite conferences in the country, the MAAC. After Monday's 2-1 day, I'm now 30-21 for +9 units on the year and looking for more today! Let's dive in.

Siena Saints at Mount St. Mary's Mountaineers 
At KenPom #196, Siena is one of three MAAC teams inside the Top 200, establishing themselves as one of the better teams in the league, despite their 3-2 conference mark. Siena has dealt with injury and illness in December, but is slowly starting to get back to full strength and today's opponent should help that cause. Siena has beaten up on inferior teams and at #294, The Mount would represent Siena's worst loss of the year. With no Top 200 wins, the Mountaineers have struggled when stepping up in competition and their awful 2-10 ATS mark only adds fuel to the fire. The Saints are 4-1 ATS in their last five roadies and should be able to cover this small number today.
College Basketball Best Bet: Siena -2.5 (BetMGM)

Marist Red Foxes at Rider Broncs 
At KenPom #137, Marist represents the highest rated team in the MAAC, and rightfully so. The Red Foxes sport the 30th ranked defense in the country and have absolutely smothered bad teams outside the Top 300. Marist is 4-0 against teams in the 300s with wins of 11, 23, 12, and 8. At #350, Rider falls right in with those bad teams and might be the worst of all of them. The Broncs have yet to record a D1 win this season and have been hammered by the upper half of the MAAC so far. The road team has won 6 of 8 in this series, covering all six of those roads wins. I don't love the value with this large spread, but I don't see Rider getting out of the 50s in this one. Marist wins and covers in Lawrenceville.
College Basketball Best Bet: Marist -10.5 (Hard Rock)

UCF Golden Knights vs Cincinnati Bearcats 
Quietly, UCF is up to #44 in KenPom with their impressive 12-2 start and annual victory over #23 Kansas. The Knights have also taken out #41 Texas A&M and #94 Pittsburgh and their only home loss came very early against #5 Vandy, a 12-point defeat that is looking better and better every week. #66 Cincy comes into Orlando today in search of its first road victory of the season. The Bearcats are a bit banged up as well with point man Kerr Kriisa missing time with a separated shoulder. These teams are complete opposites when it comes to ATS success this year with Cincy on a 3-9 ATS run and UCF at 10-2, and those are the numbers we care about around here. This game will be close but UCF gets it done and secures another cover.
College Basketball Best Bet: UCF -2.5 (Ceasars)
