There are 26 lined games on the NCAA basketball odds board for Friday, with plenty of conference tournaments in action as well.

Bettors looking to make NCAA basketball picks may find today's slate a bit intimidating due to so many smaller programs in action, though that doesn't mean there isn't value to be had, either.

In fact, the Action Network's NCAA basketball betting model is showing Eastern Michigan vs. Central Michigan (7 p.m. ET), South Dakota vs. Oral Roberts (8 p.m. ET) and Wichita State vs. Tulane (9 p.m. ET) as games offering oodles of value based on current lines.

In short, here are Friday's three biggest spread edges.
