Tuesday's college basketball slate brings us plenty of action, so I've chosen a few games for a three-leg parlay featuring two spread bets and a moneyline play.
First, I'm looking at the SEC, where the Texas A&M Aggies host the top-ranked Auburn Tigers. Then, I'll turn my attention to the Big 12 for a matchup between the Iowa State Cyclones and BYU Cougars.
Finally, a Mountain West clash closes out our action, as the San Diego State Aztecs take on the UNLV Rebels.

Texas A&M +4.5
9 p.m. ET · ESPN
The Auburn Tigers will attempt to continue their dream season on the road tonight. Bruce Pearl's team enters this contest as the nation's top-ranked team with a record of 27-2.
The Tigers are favorites to cut down the nets in April, and for good reason. Auburn has won six consecutive games and leads the SEC with a record of 15-1, which secured an SEC regular-season title.
Senior Johni Broome has been one of the best players in college basketball this season. Broome leads the team with 18.4 points and 10.8 rebounds per game.
On the other side, Texas A&M begins the contest with a record of 20-9 and a ranking of 22nd in the nation. Buzz Williams's team will attempt to earn a statement win at home tonight.
The Aggies boast a record of 9-7 in SEC play but have lost four consecutive games as we approach the SEC Tournament.
One bright spot has been Dallas native Wade Taylor IV, who leads the Aggies with 15.1 points and 4.6 assists per game.
We'll ride the home underdog tonight.
After losing four consecutive games, tonight is a strong buy-low spot for the Aggies on their home floor.
A&M is a physical team that matches up well with Auburn. The Aggies lead the nation in blocks per game and rank 14th in rebounds per game.
The Aggies will deliver a strong effort tonight and stay within this number.
Iowa State -9.5
8 p.m. ET · ESPN2
The BYU Cougars come into this contest with a record of 21-8 and a ranking of 23rd in the nation. With a season like that, the Cougars will be headed to the Big Dance for the second straight season.
BYU has competed at a high level in one of the best conferences in college hoops, owning a 12-6 record in the Big 12 this season.
Kevin Young’s team has won six consecutive games.
Iowa State, meanwhile, begins the contest ranked 10th in the nation with a record of 22-7. The Cyclones are coming off a 17-point statement win over Arizona on Saturday night.
The big news in the win was the Cyclones being back at full strength. Senior Keshon Gilbert played his first game since Feb. 18, and Curtis Jones — who leads the team with 16.8 points per game — looks to be recovering well from the illness that kept him out of ISU's game against Houston.
The Cyclones will control the pace of this contest tonight and pull away with a double-digit victory.
Iowa State is finally back to full strength, and when it's been healthy this season, the Cyclones have been a top-five team in college basketball.
BYU is one of the nation's better offensive teams, but it has some concerning splits away from Provo and will continue its road woes tonight in Ames.
San Diego State ML -142
11 p.m. ET · CBS Sports Network
The Aztecs have a crucial matchup on the road tonight in Las Vegas.
Brian Dutcher's team enters this contest with a record of 20-7. The latest March Madness projections have the Aztecs on the bubble, making tonight's game extremely important for SDSU.
San Diego State has reached the Big Dance in four straight seasons, including a national championship appearance in 2023.
Sophomore Miles Byrd leads the team with 12.9 points per game.
On the other side, UNLV enters this contest with a record of 16-13. At this stage of the season, the Rebels will try to play the role of spoiler.
The Rebels have gone 10-8 in Mountain West play and will attempt to stretch their win streak to three games.
However, San Diego State will find a way to win on the road tonight. This Aztecs team is filled with veteran players with big road game experience.
San Diego State has also been outstanding as a favorite this season, going 15-2 straight up. That's why I'm taking the moneyline as opposed to laying the points with the Aztecs.
Plus, UNLV has been a tremendous fade on the ML as an underdog (3-11).
