Look of the Day for Monday, March 11: Make some bucks with the Bucs

We capped off last week with a no-sweat Look of the Day winner on Miles Bridges, and we're looking to keep the momentum rolling into the new week. Let's switch over to college basketball for our favorite bet on Monday's slate. 

Look of the Day: East Tennessee State +10.5 (-115 FanDuel)

We're heading to the Southern Conference championship for our Monday Look of the Day, and we like the underdog to keep this one close.

East Tennessee State, the No. 7 seed in the conference tournament, erased a 20-point deficit in the second half to stun No. 3 Chattanooga in overtime. The Buccaneers are riding hot with six wins in their last seven games, and they have a decent chance to pull off the outright upset here.

No. 1 Samford has been the class of the SoCon all season, but it does have a glaring weakness. The undersized Bulldogs rank 338th out of 362 teams in opponent offensive rebounds per game. ETSU ranks 10th in the country in offensive rebounds per game, and it's out-rebounded its last two opponents, 83-68. The Buccaneers also out-rebounded Samford in both regular-season matchups.

East Tennessee State should be able to create extra possessions and second-chance points all game. As long as Samford doesn't get scorching hot from three, this should be a close battle down to the wire.
