This is a play on the HOFSTRA PRIDE for our CBB Tuesday CAA Championship Winner. This was not the expected matchup for the CAA Championship but Northeastern found a way to make it to the title game after producing a 9-9 regular season record. Hofstra is 25-8 on the season and earned a trip to the title game with a 75-61 win over Delaware in the semifinals. The Pride have cruised through the first two games while Northeastern has had two games that were decided late and the former is far and away the class on this conference. Hofstra is 12-3 all-time when facing a team in the conference tournament it swept during the regular season. The Huskies are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games following a straight up win while the Pride are 24-6-1 ATS in their last 31 games against teams with a winning straight up record. 10* (614) Hofstra Pride

This is a play on the BYU COUGARS for our CBB Monday WCC Tournament Winner. BYU rolls into the WCC semifinals with nine straight wins and has had nine days off to rest and make a push at Gonzaga. The Cougars are guaranteed to make the NCAA Tournament and are currently projected as a No. 5 seed. BYU finished second in the WCC at 13-3, the best win percentage and tied for the most conference wins since joining the league. This is a deep and talented roster that can make some noise going forward as BYU has three players on its roster with 1,000 career points, including two in the top 10 on the BYU career scoring list. The Gaels are the No. 3 seed and defeated No. 6 seed Saturday night in double overtime to advance to Monday's semifinal matchup. They had another solid season overall but struggles away from home with their defense as they allowed 74.7 ppg on 47 percent shooting. Here, we play on neutral court teams as a favorite or pick in a game involving two teams allowing between 67 and 74 ppg, after three straight wins by 10 points or more. This situation is 76-33 ATS (69.7 percent) since 1997. 10* (894) BYU Cougars

This is a play on the MARYLAND TERRAPINS for our CBB Sunday Afternoon Dominator. Maryland has lost two straight games and has failed to cover in five straight games with a lot on the line for Sunday. With a win, the Terrapins would claim their first Big Ten Championship and first conference title since winning the ACC regular season in 2009-10. This is their final home game where they are 15-1 on the season, the lone loss coming against Michigan St. last time out so they will be out to close the home slate with a big win and everything that comes with it. The Terrapins are 45-7 overall at home since the start of 2017-18, and those 45 home wins are the most in the Big Ten since the start of the 2017-18 season. Michigan had lost two straight games but rolled to a 24-point win over 2-17 Nebraska which is not saying a lot. The Wolverines are just 4-6 on the road and it is 1-8 ATS in its last nine games after covering six or seven of its last eight games against the spread. 10* (832) Maryland Terrapins

This is a play on the FULLERTON ST. TITANS for our CBB Saturday Last Chance Cash, Fullerton St. has lost four straight games including the last three on the road and it looks to wrap up the Big West with a .500 record at home. This is a big game for the Titans as a win guarantees them a spot in the upcoming Big West Conference Tournament as a loss here and a win from Cal Poly knocks them out due to tiebreakers. Overall, the Titans have has struggled to score, combining to shoot just 43.1 percent from the field, 32.9 percent from three and 67.3 percent from the free-throw line against Division I opponents. That should change here however as Long Beach St. is allowing significantly bigger numbers than those as well as allowing 75.1 ppg including 80 ppg on the road. Long Beach St. is 11-20 including a 6-9 conference record and a Fullerton win would knock the 49ers into the No. 8 spot after losing both meetings to the Titans. 10* (708) Fullerton St. Titans

This is a play on the CLEMSON TIGERS for our CBB Friday Star Attraction. The Tigers will look to move to .500 in conference play with its 10th win in the ACC and lock down a tie for fifth place in the conference. They are coming off a loss at Virginia Tech on Wednesday as they closed just 3-8 in true road games. Clemson has won six of its last seven home games to move to 11-5 on the season. With the most recent win over Florida St., the Tigers earned their third Top-6 ranked win of the season and now leads the country in Top-6 victories. While Georgia Tech is not part of that group, it shows how good the Tigers are capable of playing and we should see that in their final home game of the season. Georgia Tech has won three straight games to improve to 10-9 in the ACC but all three of those games were at home. The Yellow Jackets are just 5-7 on the road and their three most recent wins have come against teams with seven or fewer conference wins. Clemson will be out to avenge a nine-point loss at Georgia Tech late last month. 10* (854) Clemson Tigers

This is a play on the DRAKE BULLDOGS for our CBB MVC Tournament Winner. Of the lower half of the MVC teams that could make a run in the tournament, Drake could be just that team. The Bulldogs were picked to finish fourth in the conference and they were sitting at 8-7 with three games left with a chance to move up to get a bye but they lost those final three games. They were blown out in their last game against Northern Iowa but that game meant nothing. Six of the 10 losses were decided late so the season could have been better but there is still time for a late run. Additionally, in the 10 Drake losses, the Bulldogs have shot 45.6 percent (232-of-527) and have shot better or even than its opponent in six of its 10 MVC losses. Illinois St. struggled for consistency this season and it has just one win away from its home floor as it is 1-14 outside of Normal, IL. The Redbirds are coming off a win in their last game but that was against 0-18 Evansville and they are 0-8 in their last eight games following a win. 10* (712) Drake Bulldogs

This is a play on the ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS for our CBB Wednesday Star Attraction. Arkansas is coming off a loss at Georgia to fall to 6-10 in the SEC which snapped a two-game winning streak. Of those 10 losses, seven have come by single-digits including four by four points or less, two of which came in overtime so things could be a lot better. Prior to the two-game winning streak, Arkansas had lost five straight games but those all took place without Isaiah Joe who is averaging 16.9 ppg but he has returned. The Razorbacks are 13-4 at home this season while outscoring opponents by 13.5 ppg. Arkansas only commits 11.9 tpg on the season and just 10.6 in SEC play, both are the fewest in SEC, while forcing a league-best 16.63 tpg. Additionally, the Razorbacks are ranked 9th in the nation and they lead the SEC in turnover margin at +4.7. LSU rolled over Texas A&M on Saturday to move into a tie with Auburn for second place in the SEC. The Tigers are just 5-5 on the road including a 3-4 record in the conference. Of the 13 SEC wins, seven have come by four points or less. 10* (760) Arkansas Razorbacks

This is a play on the IOWA HAWKEYES as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. Iowa defeated Penn St. on Saturday to move into a tie with the Nittany Lions for fifth place in the Big Ten. The Hawkeyes will be playing their final home game of the season, making it Senior Night for three players and a manager. Iowa is 14-1 at home this year, winning its last 13 contests inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The Hawkeyes own eight Quad 1 wins and five Quad 2 victories. The 13 combined victories are third most in the Big Ten. Iowa leads the Big Ten in scoring offense at 78.1 ppg and has led the conference in scoring two of the last six previous seasons, including last year. Also, in Big Ten games only, Iowa leads the conference in scoring at 76.5 ppg, and assists at 16.7 apg. Purdue enters Tuesday's game having lost four of its last five contests. The Boilermakers are 11-4 at home this season, but 3-8 in true road games. Big time revenge is in play on Tuesday as Iowa lost the first meeting in West Lafayette 36 points. 10* (648) Iowa Hawkeyes

This is a play on the BAYLOR BEARS for our CBB Monday Star Attraction. Former No. 1 Baylor had a tough week as it went just 1-2 including a rough loss at TCU on Saturday but it remains No. 2 in the polls yet a chance of winning the Big XII seems unlikely at this point but there is reason to keep going as a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament is on the line. The Bears have one of the most underrated home courts in all of basketball as they 13-1 at home this season and has trailed by more than two points in only one home game which came in the loss against Kansas. They have dominated all season as Baylor has built a double-digit lead in 24 of 28 games, while the Bears have trailed by double-digits only three times all season. Baylor ranks 5th nationally in scoring defense at 59.3 ppg and 10th nationally in scoring margin at +12.1 ppg. Texas Tech has dropped two straight games but still sits in third place in the Big XII. The Red Raiders are just 3-6 on the road with the best win coming against 8-8 Texas. 10* (864) Baylor Bears

This is a play on the SMU MUSTANGS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Fourth place is on the line Sunday when Wichita St. heads to Dallas to take on SMU. The Mustangs improved to 15-1 at Moody Coliseum this season with a 58-53 win over Memphis on Tuesday and Sunday marks their final home game of the season. They have been one of the most efficient teams in the AAC on both sides of the ball but have had some bad luck on the road. SMU is leading the AAC in scoring (74.4), field goal percentage (45.4%), free-throw percentage (77.1%, 17th NCAA), assists (15.9, 18th NCAA), assist-to-turnover ratio (1.2) and threes made (8.1). Additionally, the defense has been solid, holding 10 of 16 opponents at home to less than 40 percent shooting. SMU is 53-3 under head coach Tim Jankovich, and 12-0 this season, when holding opponents at or below 40 percent. This is key considering that Wichita St. is shooting just 37.4 percent on the road. The Shockers are just 4-4 on the road including a 3-4 record in the AAC with the three wins coming against losing teams. 10* (834) SMU Mustangs

This is a play on the BUTLER BULLDOGS for our CBB Game of the Year. Butler is 19-9 overall and 7-8 in the Big East Conference and the Bulldogs are currently tied for sixth in the conference standings. The top six teams in the standings get a bye into the quarterfinals of the Big East Tournament so this is a big stretch of the final three games. If Butler wins out, it is guaranteed at least a sixth place finish since it is tied with Xavier and it faces the Musketeers in the final game of the season. According to KenPom, Butler's schedule is the 15th-most difficult in the country. The Bulldogs have eight NET Quad 1 wins and a combined 13 NET Quad 1 and 2 wins. The eight NET Quad 1 wins are tied for fifth nationally, while the 13 NET Quad 1 and 2 wins are tied for sixth in the nation. This is a big revenge game as behind 10-of-17 shooting from behind the arc and 32 free throw attempts, DePaul was able to knock off then fifth-ranked Butler, 79-66. Prior to DePaul's win last month, Butler had won 11 straight match-ups in the series. DePaul comes in with a 14-14 record including a 2-13 record in the conference. The Blue Demons are 0-7 on the road in the Big East. 10* (730) Butler Bulldogs

This is a play on the NORTHERN KENTUCKY NORSE for our CBB Friday Star Attraction. Northern Kentucky hosts Wright St. with the Horizon League regular-season title on the line in the final regular season game for both teams. The Norse won for the 12th time in their last 14 games with a 61-59 victory at Youngstown St. last Saturday. Northern Kentucky is 11-3 at home this year and 52-8 since the start of the 2016-17 season. The Norse lost their last home game on February 16th against Illinois-Chicago by 30 points as the offense was held to just 43 points so they will want to make up for that, especially on Senior Night. Additionally, when the teams met in January, the Northern Kentucky five-game winning streak was snapped in the 95-63 setback at Wright St. so big time revenge is in play tonight. Wright St. won its last game at Cleveland St. in overtime to maintain its one-game lead in the conference. While the Raiders are 8-3 on the road, they are just 2-3 over their last five road games with both wins coming against teams with a losing record. 10* (854) Northern Kentucky Norse

This is a play on the PURDUE BOILERMAKERS for our CBB Thursday Star Attraction. Purdue has lost four straight games including two on the road and two home losses against No. 16 Penn St. and No. 19 Michigan. The Boilermakers have fallen to 7-10 in the Big Ten but they remain at home where they are 10-4 with the only other conference loss coming against 10-6 Illinois. Purdue's 16 games against Quad-1 opponents are the most in the country and Indiana will be Quad-1 opponent number 17. Since the start of last year, Purdue has held 19 of 29 opponents at Mackey Arena under 40.0 percent shooting. Indiana has won and covered two straight games to move to 8-8 in the Big Ten. The Hoosiers are just 2-6 on the road with two wins coming against teams a combined 9-23 in the conference. The last victory for Purdue came against Indiana earlier this month and while revenge is in play for the Hoosiers, road revenge is not an option here. 10* (616) Purdue Boilermakers

This is a play on the FLORIDA GATORS as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. Florida and LSU face off for the second time this season, in a game that figures to have significant bearing on the SEC Conference Tournament seeding, what with the Tigers currently tied with Auburn for second in the standings (two games behind Kentucky) and the Gators, alone in fourth place (just one game out of second). Florida is coming off a solid effort at Kentucky but fell short as it lost by six points, snapping a three-game winning streak and a 5-1 run. The Gators have won three straight at home and are 10-3 at home on the season. Florida lost a tough one at LSU last month by a bucket and avenging that loss is priority. LSU won a big one on the road Saturday night at South Carolina, building a 19-point second-half lead and getting out of town with an 86-80 victory that stopped the bleeding of a run of four losses over the previous five SEC games. The Tigers are 5-4 on the road but only one of the conference wins was by more than six points. 10* (842) Florida Gators

This is a play on the MISSISSIPPI ST. BULLDOGS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. Mississippi St. is coming off a loss at Texas A&M on Saturday which snapped a two-game winning streak. It is now 8-6 in the conference and the Bulldogs enter this week's action in a three-way tie with South Carolina and Texas A&M for fifth place in the SEC standings. The trio trails Florida by one game for the last double bye at next month's SEC Tournament. The Bulldogs are three wins shy of coming away with their third consecutive season with 20-plus victories. The last time Mississippi St. accomplished the feat was in 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons. The Bulldogs have won six straight conference home games. Alabama is coming off an upset win at Mississippi by 25 points and that was just the third conference road win for the Tide. The other two came against 4-10 Georgia in overtime and 1-13 Vanderbilt. Mississippi St. is playing with revenge from a 21-point loss last month. 10* (644) Mississippi St. Bulldogs

This is a play on the WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINEERS for our CBB Monday Star Attraction. After to losing at TCU on Saturday, this game is important for West Virginia if it wants to avoid finishing outside of the top six in the conference standings and playing a Wednesday night game in the Big XII Tournament. Right now, the Mountaineers are in decent shape in fourth place, two games behind Texas Tech. But Oklahoma, Texas and TCU are just a game behind West Virginia so this one needs to be had. The Mountaineers have lost and not covered five straight road games but those are the streaks we love to go against. We played against Texas on Saturday as it went on to win at Kansas St. to improve to 6-8 in the Big XII and 16-11 overall. The Longhorns return home where they have lost three of their last five games and Texas is 1-8 ATS in its last nine games coming off a road win. 10* (871) West Virginia Mountaineers

This is a play on the UTAH UTES for our CBB Sunday Late Afternoon Cash. Utah is coming off a rare home loss on Thursday as it fell to UCLA by 11 points. The Utes are on the road but they are 10-2 at home with the only other loss coming against 20-7 Oregon. The home team is 18-3 in Utah games this season including a 12-2 record in the Pac 12. They are +14.6 ppg in scoring differential at home. Utah is tied with Arizona and Arizona St. with seven Quad 1 and Quad 2 victories according to the NET Rankings, which is the third highest total in the Pac 12. The Utes will out for revenge stemming from a tough four-point loss in Southern California at the end of January. USC put up a good fight at Colorado on Thursday but eventually lost by four points. The Trojans have covered five straight games which is definitely playing into this number. They are just 5-5 on the road which includes a 3-5 record in Pac 12 play which also includes three consecutive losses. 10* (864) Utah Utes

This is a play on the PURDUE BOILERMAKERS as part of our CBB Saturday Early Afternoon Trifecta. Purdue has lost three straight games including the last two on the road and the one home loss came against No. 9 Penn St. The Boilermakers have fallen to 7-9 in the Big Ten but they head back home where they are 10-3 with the only other conference loss coming against 9-6 Illinois. Purdue's 15 games against Quad-1 opponents are the most in the country. Michigan will be Quad-1 opponent number 16. Since the start of last year, Purdue has held 18 of 28 opponents at Mackey Arena under 40.0 percent shooting. Michigan has been one of the hotter teams in the Big Ten as it has won four straight and six of its last seven games. The Wolverines are still just 8-7 in the Big Ten and while they are 13-4 at home, they are just 3-5 on the road with two of the wins coming at 1-13 Northwestern and 2-12 Nebraska. 10* (634) Purdue Boilermakers

This is a play on the ST. LOUIS BILLIKENS for our CBB Friday Enforcer. St. Louis is coming of a loss at Massachusetts to make it three losses in its last four games. St. Louis led by as many as 16 in the first half and had a seven-point lead at halftime, but the Minutemen shot 57.7 percent from the field in second half for the victory The Billikens are now 7-6 in the Atlantic Ten Conference which is good for a tie for sixth place. They head home where they are 12-3 with two of those losses coming against conference leaders Dayton and Seton Hall. St. Louis is still alive for a top four finish in the league, which would result in a double-bye in the conference tournament. VCU is part of that three-team group at 7-6 in the conference so this is a big game for the Rams as well. They are riding a three-game losing streak including two games at home and they hit the road where they are just 4-4 including a 3-3 record in the conference but those three wins came against teams that are a combined 7-32. 10* (874) St. Louis Billikens

This is a play on the IOWA HAWKEYES as part of our CBB Thursday Trifecta. Iowa is coming off a win at Minnesota on Sunday which snapped a three-game conference road losing streak. Iowa registered its sixth victory away from home despite scoring a season-low 58 points. The Hawkeyes enter Thursday's game having won eight of their last 11 contests to improve to 9-6 in the Big Ten which is good for a tie for third place with four other teams. Iowa is 12-1 at home, winning its last 11 straight at Carver-Hawkeye Arena since its only loss to DePaul. Iowa leads the Big Ten in scoring offense at 78.2 ppg. Also, in Big Ten games only, Iowa leads the league in scoring at 76.5 ppg, field goal percentage (.444), and assists (16.5).

This is a play on the RUTGERS SCARLET KNIGHTS as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. Rutgers moved to 9-6 in the Big Ten with a win over Illinois on Saturday and those nine conference wins are the most in league play since 1998-99 when it went 9-9 in the Big East. The Scarlet Knights' remaining schedule ranks second nationally in difficulty per the ESPN BPI. Rutgers has a nation's-best 17-0 home record this season. The last Big Ten program to boast a 17-0 home record was Indiana in 2015-16. Michigan defeated Rutgers in the first meeting earlier this month so this is a revenge game for the Scarlet Knights. Michigan has won and covered three straight games while also winning five of its last six contests. The Wolverines are still just 7-7 in the Big Ten and while they are 13-4 at home, they are just 2-5 on the road with the wins coming at 1-13 Northwestern and 2-12 Nebraska. 10* (784) Rutgers Scarlet Knights

This is a play on the WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINEERS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. The Mountaineers have lost three straight, two coming against the No. 1 and No. 3 ranked teams in the country, and there will be lineup changes to try and generate some more offense from a team averaging just 55.7 ppg in its last three games. West Virginia failed to hit a field goal in the last five minutes of the Kansas loss and went nearly 10 minutes in the second half before scoring a basket against Baylor. The Mountaineers return home where they are 12-1 and look to improve up their 6-6 Big XII record. In the latest NET rankings released this week by the NCAA, West Virginia checked in at No. 10. The Cowboys are coming off an impressive 73-70 victory over then 24th-ranked Texas Tech on Saturday in Stillwater to improve to 3-9 in the conference after a 0-8 start. Oklahoma St. has covered its last four games but comes in with just one Big XII road win. 10* (616) West Virginia Mountaineers

This is a play on the ST. JOHN'S RED STORM for our CBB Monday Enforcer. St. John's is coming off a win over Providence on Wednesday to move to 3-9 in the Big East Conference and it looks to keep the momentum going on Monday. After forcing a season-low eight turnovers in a loss at Creighton on Feb. 8, the Red Storm turned 23 Providence turnovers into 22 points during their 80-69 victory. St. John's is 11-5 at home and the Red Storm are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games as a home underdog. They will look to avenge a Jan. 5 loss to the Musketeers in Cincinnati during which they made just one of their 16 attempts from beyond the arc.

The Musketeers are still just 5-7 in the conference and they come in just 3-5 on the road. Xavier is 1-5 ATS in its last six games as a road favorite. 10* (862) St. John's Red Storm

This is a play on the INDIANA ST. SYCAMORES for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Indiana St. is coming off a pair of losses to fall to 7-6 in the conference but both of those were on the road where the Sycamores are 2-8 on the season. Indiana St. improved to a perfect 10-0 at home by defeating the Ramblers 68-39 on February 5. The Sycamores' home court winning streak has hit 12 games dating back to February 20, 2019 and that is tied for 15th best in the country. The Sycamores have hit 38.9 percent of their three-pointers this season which is not only second-best in the Missouri Valley Conference but is ninth-best in the country. Missouri St. hits the road following a 35-point win over Drake to improve to 6-7 in the MVC. The venue has played a big role in its success however as the Bears are just 2-4 on the road in the conference with the two wins coming against 0-13 Evansville and 3-10 Illinois St. 10* (844) Indiana St. Sycamores

This is a play on the SOUTHERN ILLINOIS SALUKIES for our CBB Saturday Afternoon Dominator. Southern Illinois had its seven-game winning streak snapped with a loss at Valparaiso on Wednesday. The Salukis are 9-4 in the MVC, the program's best MVC start through 13 games since 2006-07. Southern Illinois has a 10-game home court winning streak, the longest for the program since a 15-game home winning streak spanned parts of three seasons (end of 2005-06 through beginning of 2007-08). The Salukis are ranked ninth nationally in scoring defense, allowing just 60.8 ppg while also ranking top-50 nationally in fewest fouls per game (14th) and three-point field goal percentage defense (46th). Bradley has won two straight games to improve to 8-5 in the conference. Both of those wins were at home however and the Braves come in just 2-7 on the road. 10* (642) Southern Illinois Salukis

This is a play on the TOLEDO ROCKETS for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Toledo snapped a five-game losing streak with a win over Miami Ohio on Tuesday but still failed to cover the number which makes it six straight non-covers. The Rockets are a disappointing 4-8 in the MAC after opening the season with lofty expectations but with six games left and the MAC Tournament, there is still hope. Closing games has been the issue as seven of the Rockets losses in conference play have been by seven points or less. Toledo is 1-10 this season in games decided by seven points or less so the record could be a lot better. The Rockets are outscoring opponents by nearly 10 ppg at home. Buffalo is coming off a home win over Central Michigan and it has been a pretty uneven run as the Bulls are just 2-3 over their last five games. They are 4-3 on the road which is respectable but go into a tough spot as Toledo is playing with revenge from a loss here nearly one year ago to the day. 10* (880) Toledo Rockets

This is a play on the WICHITA ST. SHOCKERS as part of our CBB Early Thursday Trifecta. Wichita St. has lost three straight games to fall to 5-5 in the AAC but those three losses came against the top three teams in the conference. Two of those came on last-second shots. At Tulsa, Wichita St. fell 54-51 on a three-point buzzer-beater and then five days later, a three-point play with 3.5 seconds to go lifted Cincinnati to an 80-79 win. The Shockers are ranked among the national leaders in offensive rebounding (27th, 12.61), turnover margin (31st, +3.0), and field goal percentage defense (36th, .396). KenPom rates the defense 18th in defensive efficiency. Central Florida has won two straight games to move to 4-7 in the conference. The Knights are 8-4 at home but that includes just a 2-3 record in the AAC and despite the winning record overall, they are just +1.6 ppg in scoring differential. 10* (623) Wichita St. Shockers

This is a play on the UNLV RUNNIN' REBELS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. UNLV snapped a four-game losing streak with a win over Fresno St. on Saturday but it was not easy as the Rebels held on for a one-point win. The Rebels four-game skid was not ideal but the losses came against four of the top five teams in the conference and three of those were on the road. The first loss in that skid came at Nevada by 14 points so they will be out for revenge tonight. UNLV has won seven of its last eight home games with the lone loss coming against 23-0 San Diego St. UNLV ranks No. 1 or No. 2 in the MWC for conference-only games in rebounding, rebound margin, offensive rebounds and defensive rebounds. The Wolf Pack have won two straight games but those were at home against San Jose St. and Air Force which are both 3-9. The home team has won the last 12 Nevada games and it is 0-5 in its five road games over this span. 10* (854) UNLV Runnin' Rebels

This is a play on the COLORADO ST. RAMS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. Colorado St. has won three straight games and eight of its last nine to improve to 8-4 in the Mountain West Conference which is good for second place. The recent five-game win streak was the longest for Colorado St. since the Rams won seven straight during 2016-17. They are 10-3 at home including six straight wins and they are 5-0 within the conference with those wins coming by 16 ppg. Colorado St. lost at Utah St. just over two weeks ago by 16 points which is the only defeat since January 1st so revenge is in play. Utah St. has won two straight games and five of its last six to sit in a tie for third place in the conference. The Aggies have taken care of business at home where they are 13-1 but they are just 2-5 on the road which includes a 2-4 record in the MVC. Those two road wins came against 1-12 Wyoming and 3-9 San Jose St. 10* (642) Colorado St. Rams

This is a play on the TEXAS LONGHORNS for our CBB Monday Star Attraction. Texas is coming off a loss against Texas Tech on Saturday which was its second straight loss following an 11-point defeat at Kansas last Monday. The Longhorns are now 14-9 overall including 4-6 in the Big XII so they need a few quality wins to close out the season for a shot at the NCAA Tournament. Texas is 61-24 at home during the Shaka Smart era including 9-4 in 2019-20. Th e Longhorns are 6-3 in their last nine home games against AP Top 20 opponents. Texas has held its first 23 opponents to an average of 63.8 ppg on a combined 42.3 percent shooting, including a 33.1 percent mark from three-point range. Baylor is the consensus No. 1 team in the country so it will be a very public play here after winning 20 straight games. Baylor won the first meeting at home by 15 points as an 8.5-point favorite and now it is favored by a slightly lesser amount on the road. 10* (870) Texas Longhorns

This is a play on the CLEMSON TIGERS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Clemson is coming off a loss at Virginia on Wednesday, its second straight loss both of which have come on the road. The Tigers are now just 5-7 in the ACC but six of the final eight games are more than winnable and the other two against Louisville and Florida St. are both at home. Clemson is 9-4 at home this season, including 4-2 in league play. The Tigers have won four-straight at home including key wins over NC State, Duke and Syracuse. Clemson has been bitten by the injury bug in 2019, having many key players miss time due to injuries, which includes three starting players, but it is as healthy as it has been since early in the season. Notre Dame has won three straight and covered four straight games. The last three have come at home where they were significant favorites and the Irish are just 2-4 on the road with the two wins by a combined five points. 10* (858) Clemson Tigers

This is a play on the IOWA ST. CYCLONES as part of our CBB Saturday Late Afternoon Trifecta. Iowa St. returns home looking to snap a four-game slide. West Virginia jumped on the Cyclones early and went on to win 76-61 Wednesday. The Mountaineers shot 59.3 percent from the floor in the first half and 50 percent for the game. Three of the four losses have come on the road while the lone home defeat came against No. 1 Baylor. Iowa St. is 8-4 at home this season and the Cyclones have won 73 of their last 94 games at home, including 36 of 52 conference games. The only other conference loss at home came against No. 3 Kansas. Kansas St. has lost two straight and three of its last four games but has covered all four of those which is adding considerable value in this number. The Wildcats are just 1-5 on the highway including 0-4 on the road in the Big XII. 10* (784) Iowa St. Cyclones

This is a play on the ILLINOIS FIGHTING ILLINI for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Illinois is coming off a loss at Iowa at Iowa on Sunday which snapped its seven-game conference winning streak, its longest conference winning streak in 15 years. The Illini have just one loss at State Farm Center this season and is 12-1 at home for the first time since 2014-15. Illinois owns the largest turnaround this season among schools from the six major conferences (+10.0), and is tied for fourth in all of Div. I for most improved teams. Defense has been the story as Illinois leads the Big Ten in scoring defense during league play, allowing 60.1 ppg. Maryland is tied with the Illini for first place in the Big Ten as it has reeled off five straight wins. This includes tow wins on the road but those came against 5-6 Indiana and 1-10 Northwestern. The Terrapins are just 2-4 on the road with three of those losses coming in conference play. 10* (872) Illinois Fighting Illini

This is a play on the WICHITA ST. SHOCKERS for our CBB Thursday Enforcer. Wichita St. fell to 5-3 in the AAC following a loss at Tulsa on Saturday which improved to 7-1 on the season. Tulsa won it at the buzzer on a desperation heave. A win would have forced a four-way tie atop the standings. Instead, the Shockers entered the week two games back of the first-place Hurricane in the loss column. The Shockers head home where they are 13-1 on he season with the lone loss coming against Houston. Wichita St. has held 16 of its 21 opponents under 40 percent from the field. The Shockers are 15-1 in those games with the lone loss coming last Saturday at Tulsa. Cincinnati has won four straight games to move into a tie for second place in the conference. While sitting 12-1 at home, the Bearcats are just 2-4 on the road with the wins coming against losing teams. 10* (628) Wichita St. Shockers

This is a play on the MISSISSIPPI REBELS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Mississippi has lost two straight games against two of the top three teams in the conference, LSU and Auburn. The Rebels are just 1-7 in the SEC but five of those games have been on the road and the three home losses came by four points or less including one by a point in overtime against LSU. Under second year head coach Kermit Davis, the Rebels are 18-9 at home including 7-4 this season. This is the first of three straight home games. Balance is the key as all five Rebels starters are averaging double-digits in scoring in their wins but only two are averaging that in their losses. South Carolina enters Wednesday with a 13-8 record, including a 5-3 mark in conference play. The Gamecocks are riding a three-game winning streak with victories over Vanderbilt, Arkansas and Missouri which are a combined 6-18 in the SEC. 10* (808) Mississippi Rebels

This is a play on the KENTUCKY WILDCATS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. The Wildcats are coming off a loss at Auburn on Saturday to fall to 6-2 in the SEC. Kentucky has won eight of its last 10 games and is playing like one of the best teams in the country against a difficult recent schedule. In Saturday's loss to Auburn, the Tigers made 33 of 44 free throws. It was the most free-throw attempts by an opponent since Jan. 30, 2016 and the most makes of the John Calipari era. The Wildcats are 53-13 all-time in games under Calipari following a loss. They are 12-1 with the only defeat coming way back in early November. Mississippi St. heads to Lexington at the wrong time even though it is on a confidence-building run. The Bulldogs have won five of their last six games after starting 0-3 in the SEC and they have now covered seven straight games. They come into Tuesday just 2-3 on the road. 10* (636) Kentucky Wildcats

This is a play on the NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS for our CBB Monday Enforcer. North Carolina had a two-game winning streak snapped with a loss to Boston College on Saturday to fall to 10-11 overall and 3-7 in the ACC. This is its fewest wins through 10 conference games since going 3-7 in 2009-10. Freshman point guard Cole Anthony made his return by scoring 26 points in 26 minutes after missing 11 games and we expect the team to show some more chemistry in his second game back. The Tar Heels lead the nation in rebounds per game (43.5) and are fifth in rebound margin (+9.4) and fifth in offensive rebounds per game (14.1). Florida St. improved to 8-2 in the ACC and 18-3 overall with a win at Virginia Tech on Saturday. Five of the last seven games have been on the road but the two home wins came by a combined five points. 10* (861) North Carolina Tar Heels

This is a play on the UCLA BRUINS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. We won with UCLA on Thursday and we will back them again today as the victory over Colorado can be a big momentum builder leading into the second half of the conference season. The Bruins are now 11-10 overall and 4-4 in the Pac 12 which puts them just 1.5 games out of third place. As was the case with Colorado, Utah does not have a good offense away from home as it is averaging just 63.5 ppg and UCLA is now 11-0 on the season when holding the opposition to 73 points or less. Another big factor here is rebounding as UCLA has outrebounded the opposition in 19 of 21 games. The Utes are coming off a loss at USC on Thursday to fall to 3-5 in the conference and they are just 1-5 on the road with the only win coming at Nevada in their first game of the season. 10* (854) UCLA Bruins

This is a play on the DRAKE BULLDOGS as part of our CBB Saturday Late Afternoon Trifecta. Drake lost at Indiana St. on Wednesday to snap a two-game winning streak. The Bulldogs shot 47.6 percent, its third-highest percentage in a loss this season and they head back home where they have been dominant. The Bulldogs own a 15-game home win streak in the Knapp Center and that win streak is the ninth-longest in the nation as Drake is 11-0 at home this season while averaging nearly 80 ppg at the Knapp Center. A win here would put them into at least a tie for third place in the MVC. Southern Illinois hits the road as the hottest team in the league, with four straight wins. That streak began with a 66-49 victory over Drake, Jan. 19 so revenge is in play. The Salukis are 1-7 on the road, the only win coming at 2-7 Illinois St. 10* (740) Drake Bulldogs

This is a play on the RHODE ISLAND RAMS for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Rhode Island enters the game Friday on a seven-game winning streak as it lost its Atlantic Ten opener to Richmond but has not lost since. The Rams are 10 games above .500 for the first time since 2017-18. At home, they have been dominant as they are 9-1 with the lone loss being that Richmond game and on the season, they are outscoring opponents by 8.5 ppg on their home floor. While VCU looms a game back in the conference standings, Rhode Island has won seven of the last eight contests in the series, including a 65-56 victory at VCU on Jan. 11. The Rams are playing well also as they have won four straight games following a pair of losses against Rhode Island and Dayton. While they do have three road wins in the Atlantic Ten, those came against three of the four worst teams in the conference. 10* (874) Rhode Island Rams

This is a play on the FLORIDA ATLANTIC OWLS as part of our CBB Thursday Trifecta. Florida Atlantic is riding a three-game losing streak including a pair of losses on the road in its last two games. The home loss came against UAB by just three points and the Owls come in with a 10-2 record at home. The only other loss at home came against St. Bonaventure by seven points. This team is extremely balanced as the Owls have had six different players lead the team in scoring and 11 different players have had double-digit scoring games so far this season. The Hilltoppers have won their last five games, including back-to-back wins over Marshall. Western Kentucky is a half-game behind North Texas for first place in C-USA thanks to a 4-0 record at home within the conference. The road win over Marshall was by just four points and the only other road win came at 1-7 Middle Tennessee St. 10* (616) Florida Atlantic Owls

This is a play on the TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. The Red Raiders are 9-2 at home this season after falling 76-74 in overtime to No. 13 Kentucky in a Big 12/SEC Challenge battle. Texas Tech, which had its 54-game non-conference winning streak end with the loss to Kentucky, has gone 17-1 at home in the past two seasons with 8-1 records in conference play on its home court. Texas Tech enters this week ranked 17th nationally with 17.53 turnovers forced per game, 19th in the nation with 16.3 apg and 21st with a 3.6 turnover margin. West Virginia is coming off a 23-point win over Missouri on Saturday to make it a 5-1 run over its last six games. While 10-0 at home, the Mountaineers are just 3-3 on the road and the Red Raiders will be out to avenge a 12-point loss from Jan. 11. 9* (832) Texas Tech Red Raiders

This is a play on the RUTGERS SCARLET KNIGHTS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. It has been a special season for Rutgers as it continues to fly under the radar. A victory would move the Rutgers home record to 15-0, tying the Boilermakers' Big Ten-best home record last season. The home floor is a big advantage, especially for a team that normally has not been good and Rutgers has a +17.1 ppg scoring margin, a +10.2 rebounding advantage and has limited visitors to 35.6 percent shooting at the RAC. The Scarlet Knights have an opportunity to go four games over .500 in conference play for the first time since the 1998-99 Big East campaign (9-5). A win would also provide Rutgers its most season victories since 2005-06 (19-14). Purdue rolled over Wisconsin in its last game but hits the road where it is 0-4 in the Big Ten. 10* (628) Rutgers Scarlet Knights

This is a play on the NC STATE WOLFPACK for our CBB Monday Enforcer. NC State had its three-game win streak snapped with a 64-58 loss to Georgia Tech on Saturday afternoon. It heads home with an 11-game winning streak where it is outscoring opponents by 14.4 ppg. Defensively is where the Wolfpack have been picking it up as they have held five straight opponents to under their season field goal percentage. Before Georgia Tech, NC State went through stretch of holding four consecutive ACC opponents to under 40 percent shooting and that was the first time it had held four consecutive conference opponents to shooting percentages in the 30s in more than 30 years. North Carolina snapped a five-game losing streak with a win over Miami on Saturday but that was at home and now the Tar Heels hit the road where they are 0-4 on the season. 10* (866) NC State Wolfpack

This is a play on the NORTHERN IOWA PANTHERS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Northern Iowa dropped its conference opener against Illinois St. and then reeled off five straight wins before its last game where it lost to Southern Illinois. Both of those defeats were on the road and they return home where the Panthers are a perfect 10-0 inside the McLeod Center this season. Northern Iowa averages 75.3 ppg in MVC play, leading the league in scoring through seven games. The Panthers are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven games against teams with a winning straight up record. Loyola-Chicago has won and covered four straight games and is off to a 6-1 start in the conference. Four of the wins have come at home and of the two road wins, one was by three points at 3-4 Valparaiso and the other was at 1-7 Illinois St. The Ramblers are 0-5-1 ATS in their last six road games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. 10* (846) Northern Iowa Panthers

This is a play on the WILLIAM & MARY TRIBE as part of our CBB Saturday Late Afternoon Trifecta. William & Mary suffered its first conference loss last Saturday as it got blown out at Drexel by 27 points but bounced back with a 13-point win against James Madison on Thursday. The Tribe have a one-game lead over Charleston in the CAA and this is the perfect time to keep that lead or even increase as this is the second game of a four-game homestand. According to KenPom, the Tribe ranks 22nd nationally in effective field goal percentage at 54.4 and they are second in the CAA in this category as well as effective field goal percentage defense. Towson is tied for third place in the conference at 5-3 thanks to five straight wins. The Tigers have covered all five of those games as well but three of those were at home and the two on the road came against the two worst teams in the conference. 9* (686) William & Mary Tribe

This is a play on the PROVIDENCE FRIARS for our Big East Game of the Year. Providence opened Big East play with a 4-1 record but has dropped its last two games, a pair of single-point setbacks to Creighton and most recently to 7-0 Seton Hall. The Friars are 8-2 at home with the losses coming against Butler and Penn and the three-point shooting has played a big role in the results. The Friars are shooting 36.6 percent (79-210) from three-point territory at home (10 games) and 29.1 percent (58-199) in nine games away from the Dunkin' Donuts Center. Additionally, the Friars are ranked second in the Big East in turnover margin at +2.7. Villanova comes in riding a five-game winning streak but the last four have come at home so this marks the Wildcats first road game in 2.5 weeks. They are just 2-2 on the road and one of those wins came against lowly St. Josephs which is just 4-15 on the season. 10* (616) Providence Friars

This is a play on the BUTLER BULLDOGS for our CBB Friday Star Attraction. Butler was ranked as high as No. 5 in the AP Poll and No. 2 in the NCAA NET Rankings but has since lost three straight games, failing to cover any of those. The Bulldogs return home following a pair of road losses and they look to improve upon their 9-1 record at home. The lone home defeat came against Seton Hall which is now 7-0 in the Big East Conference. The defense has imploded during the losing skid but they are still fifth in the nation, allowing just 58.1 ppg. Marquette meanwhile has won and covered three straight games to improve to 4-3 in the conference. Only one win has come on the road, a four-point win over 2-5 Georgetown. The two losses came at Creighton and Seton Hall by 17 and 14 points respectively. Butler will be playing with revenge as well after suffering a pair of losses last season. 10* (868) Butler Bulldogs

This is a play on the OHIO ST. BUCKEYES for our CBB Thursday Star Attraction. Ohio St. returns home following a 14-point loss at Penn St. to make it five losses over its last six games. The Buckeyes failed to cover any of those games and they bring in a 9-1 record at home to try and improve upon their 2-5 mark in the Big Ten. Ohio St. is No. 2 nationally for the most home wins with a 171-31 (.847) record since the 2009-10 season. The Buckeyes are outscoring opponents by 20.2 ppg as the defense is allowing just 57.3 ppg on 35.1 percent shooting. Minnesota enters the game with the Buckeyes at 10-8 overall and a 4-4 record in the Big Ten. The Gophers are 5-3 since downing the Buckeyes December 15th in Minneapolis earlier this season by 13 points so revenge is in play on Thursday. The Golden Gophers are 0-6 in true road games including three losses within the conference at Purdue, at Michigan St. and at Rutgers. 10* (604) Ohio St. Buckeyes

This is a play on the AUBURN TIGERS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Auburn is coming off a pair of ugly losses as the Tigers lost to Alabama by 19 points and Florida by 22 points. That snapped a streak of 15 straight wins to start the season and they dropped Auburn from No. 4 to No. 12 in the AP Poll. Those losses were both on the road however and Auburn is a perfect 9-0 at home. The Tigers are 26-3 since Feb. 27 last season. That record is the third best record in the country over that stretch. Auburn has played nine opponents picked to finish in the top three of its league. South Carolina picked up an upset win over Kentucky at home and did not letdown from that as it went on the road and defeated Texas A&M last Saturday by 14 points. The Gamecocks have covered three straight games and while the win over Kentucky was nice, they have some ugly losses, notably to Boston U. and Stetson. 10* (814) Auburn Tigers

This is a play on the PURDUE BOILERMAKERS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. We played against Purdue on Saturday as it lost at Maryland to fall to 3-4 in the Big Ten. The Boilermakers have won 15 straight Big Ten home games, dating to Feb. 2018. Just three of the 15 wins have come by single digits. Purdue is 64-3 in the last 67 games where the full student body has been in attendance and that is the case tonight with classes back in session. They will be out for revenge as well after suffering a 26-point loss in Champaign 16 days ago. The Boilermakers are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 home games against teams with a losing road record. Illinois has won four straight games but has not been dominant the last three as the Illini has won those games by a combined eight points.

Both of those were at home however where it is 9-2 on the season and comes in just 2-2 on the road. Both conference road games were decided by three points and going back, the Ramblers are 0-5-1 ATS in their last six road games against teams with a winning home record. The Redbirds are riding a four-game losing streak both straight up and against the number. Three of those losses came on the road and the lone conference win was at home against first place Northern Iowa.

Additionally, the Tigers defeated the Tar Heels and the Blue Devils in back-to-back games for the first time since the 1989-90 season. NC State is coming off a win over Miami on Wednesday to improve to 12-5 and 3-3 in the ACC. The Wolfpack are 10-1 at home including 10 straight wins. This is an early revenge game for the Wolfpack as they lost in Clemson to weeks ago by 11 points.

This is a play on the ST. JOHNS RED STORM for our CBB Saturday Afternoon Dominator. Seton Hall leads the Big East with a 5-0 record which is no surprise as the Pirates were the preseason favorites to win the conference. They have won seven straight games while covering everyone of those as well so the value is shifting when this success takes place. Seton Hall is just 3-2 on the road with the losses at Iowa St. and Rutgers and the Red Storm are better than those teams. St. John's is coming off a loss at Providence to fall to 1-4 in the Big East. Three of those losses came on the road while the one loss came at home to 15-2 Butler by just two points. This is an uptempo team that can cause havoc on the Pirates as the Red Storm check in at no. 9 in the country with an average possession length of just 15.0 seconds, more than two full seconds below the national average. 10* (604) St. John's Red Storm

This is a play on the MICHIGAN ST. SPARTANS for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Michigan St. is coming off a loss at Purdue last Sunday by 29 points, easily its biggest loss of the season.

This is a play on the MARSHALL THUNDERING HERD for our CBB Thursday Enforcer. Charlotte is off to a 3-0 start in the conference while winning six of its last seven games. Five of those wins came at home however with the lone road victory coming against UNC-Wilmington which is 5-14 on the season. The 49ers are 1-4 on the road and while they have been competitive, losses are losses and they are now facing a team desperately in need of a win. Marshall is coming off a loss against UAB to fall to 2-2 on the season while dropping to 2-5 on the road. The Thundering Herd may just be 6-4 at home but the four losses came against teams that are expected to contend for conference championships. The offense is the trademark of this team as they are averaging 77.9 ppg at home and coming off a 50-point effort on the road. 10* (612) Marshall Thundering Herd

This is a play on the MISSOURI ST. BEARS as part of our Wednesday CBB Trifecta. Bradley is coming off a pair of wins to improve to 3-1 in the MVC. The Braves have won four of their last five games while covering all five of those games to improve to 11-6 ATS. They are now a perfect 11-0 at home but just 1-5 on the road with the lone win coming at Evansville which is the worst team in the conference at 0-4. Missouri St. lost to Northern Iowa last Saturday to even out its record at 2-2 in the conference. The other loss came against Loyola-Chicago so both losses came against two teams tied for first place in the conference. The Bears are 6-1 over their last seven home games with the loss to the Panthers being the only blemish. This is a revenge game as Bradley ended their season last March. 10* (828) Missouri St. Bears

This is a play on the DAVIDSON WILDCATS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. Davidson comes in 7-8 overall and 1-2 in league play following an 89-83 overtime victory over Saint Joseph's Saturday. The Wildcats had lost three straight games prior to that and have failed to cover their last four games. The losing record is not appealing but Davidson played 11 of its first 14 games away from Belk Arena. The Wildcats are 4-2 at home with the losses coming against Auburn and Wake Forest and going back, the Wildcats have won 29 of their last 32 games at Belk Arena. Richmond is coming off a loss against St. Louis which snapped a two-game winning streak as the Spiders are now 2-1 in the Atlantic Ten. While they have been solid at home, they are just 3-2 on the road with two of the wins coming as home favorites. Leading scorer Blake Francis is likely out for the Spiders with a shoulder injury. 10* (606) Davidson Wildcats

This is a play on the MONTANA GRIZZLIES for our CBB Monday Enforcer. Montana has a huge scheduling advantage in this game. The Vikings and Grizzlies have both played three straight road games but the difference is that Montana is back home so Portland St. will be playing its fourth straight road game. Additionally, the Vikings played on Saturday while Montana was off as its last game was Thursday. The Grizzlies are 6-1 at home including five straight wins. Montana opened Big Sky play with home wins over Northern Arizona and Sacramento St. and then came the three-game roadtrip in which it was an underdog in each game. The road swing came against three teams ranked in the upper-half of the Big Sky preseason polls, and against teams who were all unbeaten on their home courts this season and ended up going 2-1. Portland St. is just 3-7 on the road and the Grizzlies are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games against teams with a losing road record. 10* (862) Montana Grizzlies

This is a play on the MIAMI HURRICANES for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Pittsburgh is coming off a big win on Tuesday at North Carolina to improve to 2-2 in the ACC. The Panthers have won four of their last five games and while they are 4-1 on the road, the other three wins came against Robert Morris, Kansas St. and Northwestern, all of which have losing records. The Panthers are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games as a road underdog. Miami has won five straight games before facing Duke and Louisville, two of the three best teams in the conference, and getting blown out in both. The other conference loss was also against Louisville to open the season. The Hurricanes were big underdogs in both of those but now they are laying a short price and are 4-1 ATS as favorites this season. The Hurricanes are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss. 10* (846) Miami Hurricanes

This is a play on the TEMPLE OWLS for our CBB Saturday Afternoon Dominator. We played on Temple earlier this week but failed to make the cover as a home underdog against Houston which was its second straight loss but the Owls are in prime position today. The Owls are 4-2 at home with the two losses coming against Missouri and Miami. Temple has been one of the top teams in the country defensively this season and currently ranks second in the AAC and ranks 22nd nationally in field goal percentage defense at 38.1 percent. Tulane, under the direction of new coach Ron Hunter, has already doubled its win total from the 2018-19 campaign and snapped a 20-game AAC regular season losing streak when it defeated Cincinnati, 76-71 a week ago. The Green Wave followed that up with a loss at Connecticut and we expect a regression here. 10* (616)Temple Owls

This is a play on the IOWA HAWKEYES for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Maryland has won three straight games including a pair of impressive wins over Indiana and Ohio St. by double-digits. Those games were both at home however and the Terrapins are 0-2 this season in true road games, losing at Penn St. and Seton Hall. They are 3-2 in the conference which is good for second place but has a tough spot here. The Terrapins are 1-4 ATS in their last five games as a road favorite. Iowa was on a four-game winning streak but hit the road for a two-game trip and dropped both games at Penn St. and Nebraska. It has been a rough travel schedule as the Hawkeyes have played eight of 10 games away from Iowa City since Thanksgiving where they have traveled more than 8,500 miles and played in three different time zones. Iowa is 7-1 at home including impressive wins over Minnesota and Cincinnati. The Hawkeyes are 6-0 ATS in their last six games following an ATS loss. 10* (838) Iowa Hawkeyes

This is a play on the UTSA ROADRUNNER for our CBB Thursday Enforcer. Louisiana Tech had an odd schedule to open C-USA action as its first two games came against Southern Mississippi and easily won both of those. It was to the Bulldogs advantage considering the Golden Eagles are pegged as one of the worst teams in the conference. They have now won five straight games and they now hit the road where they are just 3-3 compared to a perfect 8-0 at home. Texas-San Antonio is off to a disappointing 0-2 start in the conference as expectations are high for the Roadrunners after finishing in second place last season and retuning four starters. One of those is the preseason C-USA Player of the Year Jhivvan Jackson who is averaging 25.3 ppg, second most in the country. UTSA was on a 5-1 run prior to the two losses so heading back home is just what it needs. 10* (604) Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners

This is a play on the BOISE ST. BRONCOS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Boise St. fell to 2-2 in the MWC with a 17-point loss against Nevada on Saturday. The Broncos had won four straight games prior to that defeat which was their fourth away from home. They are 8-2 at home which is no fluke as Boise St. has never had a losing home record since ExtraMile Arena opened in 1982. Boise St. is committing 12.0 tpg, second fewest in the Mountain West Conference. UNLV is 8-8 on the season with a 3-0 mark in Mountain West play, including a win against defending-champion and preseason-favorite Utah St. as a 6.5-point home underdog. The Rebels are coming off a six-game homestand and this will be their first road game in over a month where they are 1-3, the lone win coming Fresno St. which is 5-10 on the season. 10* (836) Boise St. Broncos

This is a play on the TOLEDO ROCKETS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. Toledo has lost four straight games including its conference opener at Ball St. on Friday. Additionally, the Rockets have failed to cover six straight games but this is the most points they are catching over this stretch. Toledo was 5-1 last season in games decided by five points or less but is 1-3 this year with a pair of two-point defeats at Valpo and Notre Dame and a four-point setback at Ball St. The Golden Flashes opened their season with an 18-point win at Bowling Green as a bucket underdog. Kent St. is 7-0 at home but two of those wins came against non-Division I teams, were favored by double-digits in four games and the best win came against Purdue Fort Wayne. The Golden Flashes lead the MAC in field goal percentage at 45.6 percent but will be facing a Toledo defense that has held every opponent to 45 percent or less. 10* (609) Toledo Rockets

This is a play on the GEORGIA SOUTHERN EAGLES for our CBB Monday Enforcer. Little Rock was picked to finish dead last in the Sun Belt Conference after finishing in a tie for last place last season. Yet the Trojans are off to a 4-0 start, the only undefeated team in the conference but that record is a bit deceiving. All four wins have come down to the final minute and all four coming by four points or less so while they have been clutch, the record could be worse. Georgia Southern is off to a 3-1 start in the conference as the Eagles were picked to contend for first place in the SBC. The Eagles are very efficient on offense and swarm the ball on defense as they are ranked 29th in the country in steals (9.1 spg), 17th in turnovers forced (18.2 tpg) and sixth in turnover margin (+5.9). The Eagles are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games following a straight up loss. 10* (855) Georgia Southern Eagles

This is a play on the WASHINGTON HUSKIES as part of our CBB Sunday Trifecta. Washington is coming off a loss against UCLA on Thursday which was its second straight loss overall, the other being in the championship of the Diamond Head Classic. It was just the second home loss for the Huskies which played a great game against No. 1 Gonzaga but eventually lost by seven points. The Huskies are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games as a favorite. USC won its sixth straight game with a nine-point win at Washington St. and this will be the biggest road test of the young season after a 2-1 start on the highway. The Trojans are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games as a road underdog. 10* (848) Washington Huskies

This is a play on the HOFSTRA PRIDE for our CAA Game of the Year. We played against Hofstra on Thursday as got crushed at home against William & Mary and that was its first home loss of the season since November 6. Now the Pride have a chance to feast on the worst team in the CAA with value on top of it. The Pride are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss. Elon has lost four straight games but it has been competitive in the last three as it has covered all of those games. The Phoenix are walking into a bad place on Saturday however and they do not have the depth to compete here with their seven-man rotation. The Phoenix are 8-22 ATS in their last 30 games following an ATS win. 10* (686) Hofstra Pride

This is a play on the TOLEDO ROCKETS as part of our CBB Friday Trifecta. We played on Toledo last Saturday and it fell down early and could not recover. That was the third straight loss for the Rockets but this game will have their attention with it being the conference opener. Toledo is predicted to win the MAC West and getting off to a good start is imperative especially against a fellow MAC West opponent. The Rockets have lost three straight games during a season for the first time in 73 games. This is a team that was dominating as they have six double-digit wins this season which gives them 21 victories of 10 points or more since the start of the 2018-19 season. Toledo has held all of its opponents to a 45 percent shooting or less, including six under 40 percent. The Rockets are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games as a road underdog. After losing the first two games of the Diamond Head Classic, Ball St. was able to win the consolation game against Portland. The Cardinals head home where they are just 3-3 on the season with those victories coming against Defiance, Howard and Indiana-Purdue. The Cardinals are 0-8 ATS in their last eight games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. 10* (841) Toledo Rockets

This is a play on the LOYOLA MARYMOUNT LIONS as part of our CBB Thursday Trifecta. Loyola Marymount has lost three of four games while failing to cover any of its last five games and that is keeping this number down on this contrarian play. The Lions are coming off a 22-win season a year ago, their most wins since 1989-90, and they welcomed back three starters from the CBI Semifinal team. Loyola Marymount is paced by Eli Scott who has three double-doubles this season, including the WCC's only triple-double. The Toreros are winners of four of their last five games, with the only loss in that stretch being a neutral site three-point defeat to Stanford. San Diego is still just 7-8 overall and are in rebuilding mode. It lost four senior starters who supplied 73 percent of the scoring from last year and it is showing as San Diego ranks 269th in the country in scoring (67.7 ppg) and that is after hanging 93 on Division III Whittier. San Diego's 220 turnovers this season are the most of WCC schools this season and rank 328 nationally among Division I programs. In the WCC, the Toreros are 10th in shooting percentage (42.9) and a distant 10th in three-point shooting (30.9 percent). The next worst shooting team from deep, Pepperdine, hits 35.7 percent behind the arc. 10* (684) Loyola Marymount Lions

This is a play on the CINCINNATI BEARCATS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Cincinnati is coming off a loss against Iowa in Chicago to make it three losses over its last four games but the lone win was an impressive one against Tennessee. The Bearcats are 7-1 at home with the only defeat coming against a pretty solid Colgate team although that was a game they never should have lost. This is a tough place for any opponent to win as the Bearcats are 54-4 at home since the start of the 2016-17 season, including a 25-2 mark against AAC teams. Additionally, the Bearcats are 25-4 in conference openers since 1990 (start of the Bob Huggins coaching era), including a 5-1 mark in AAC lid lifters. Connecticut enters league play having won three in a row and six of its last seven. There are not many high expectations for the Huskies as they have won 16 games or less in each of the last three seasons and are pegged to finish sixth in the AAC. The Huskies are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up win of more than 20 points while going 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games following two straight up wins of more than 20 points. 10* (830) Cincinnati Bearcats

This is a play on the PROVIDENCE FRIARS for our CBB Tuesday Enforcer. Providence is coming off a much needed win prior to the Christmas break as it rolled over Texas by 22 points. The Friars held the Longhorns to an offensive rebounding percentage of 20.0 (below their season average of 30.5) and an effective field goal percentage of 0.342 (below their season average of 0.528). After a 4-1 start, the Friars went on a 2-5 run so that victory was big heading into conference action and it also snapped a seven-game non-cover run. The Hoyas have won six straight games while covering all of those as well. That is a big reason the line have flipped to Georgetown now favored on the road. Ball control will be a big factor here as the Friars are forcing turnovers while Georgetown has been prone to giving it away. Providence ranks second in the Big East in turnover margin at +3.4 while also second in the conference in steals at 9.8 per game. The Friars averaging 14.1 turnovers per game compared to 17.5 by its opponents. Georgetown is ranked 271st in the nation with a turnover percentage of 20.8 percent, while the Providence defense forces the 25th-most turnovers in the country at 24.6 percent. Here, we play on home teams with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 where the line is +3 to -3 after beating the spread by more than 18 points in their previous game, playing a winning team. This situation is 48-20 ATS (70.6 percent) since 1997. 10* (804) Providence Friars

This is a play on the DAVIDSON WILDCATS for our CBB Monday Enforcer. Davidson has won and covered three straight games as it heads into Vanderbilt for its final non-conference tuneup prior to Atlantic Ten play. The Wildcats have played a tough schedule thus far with some quality losses and while the Commodores are not much of a team, a win over an SEC team can do some good. Davidson defeated Loyola Chicago 59-56 eight days ago in its most recent win and Loyola Chicago defeated Vanderbilt earlier this season 78-70 in Phoenix. Vanderbilt has played no one up to this point and the Commodores are the worst team in the SEC and after having gone 9-23 last season including 0-18 in the conference. So far during non-conference action, they have played the 345th ranked schedule in the country and that is out of 353 teams in Division I. Vanderbilt lost a key contributor in Clevon Brown as he is out with a knee injury which hurts as only three other players are averaging more than 6.7 ppg. Here, we play against home teams as an underdog or pickem after going over the total by 48 or more points total in their last seven games going up against an opponent after going under the total by 48 or more points total in their last ten games. This situation is 36-12 ATS (75 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (749) Davidson Wildcats

This is a play on the RICHMOND SPIDERS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Richmond is coming off a loss at Radford in its last game a week ago which snapped a five-game winning streak for the Spiders. That was just the second loss of the season for the Spiders, the first coming against Auburn, and they will look to close the non-conference season strong with a win prior to A-10 action stating on Thursday. This team is loaded and deep as they returned all five starters as well as getting Nick Sherod back who missed most of last season with a knee injury after being a starter the previous two seasons. This is probably the deepest team Richmond has had since the team made the NCAA tournament in 2011 with at least 10 players in regular rotation. Alabama has won two straight games and four of its last five, covering all five of those games. That is pushing this number up higher than it should be. Ball control will be a factor here as the Richmond offense has turned the ball over on 16.2 percent of its possessions, the 20th-best mark in the country. Conversely, 21.5 percent of all Alabama possessions have resulted in a turnover which is 291st, nationally. 10* (715) Richmond Spiders

This is a play on the BYU COUGARS for our CBB Saturday Enforcer. BYU defeated Weber St. 91-61 a week ago, its third 30-point win during a current four-game win streak. The Cougars defeated UNLV 83-50 at Vivint Smart Home Arena and Nevada 74-42 at home as well. They are ranked No. 11 in the country in shooting at 49.5 percent while hitting 40.9 percent of shots from long range, good for No. 7 in the nation. This team is loaded as BYU has three players on its roster with 1,000 career points, including two in the top 20 on the BYU career scoring list. Of the four losses, two were against Kansas and San Diego St. while the other two came in overtime on the road. Oral Roberts has won four straight games as well but nowhere near against the same opposition and the Golden Eagles bring in a four-game ATS winning streak and it actually could be eight games but four games were not on the board as those came against non-Division I teams which shows how weak the schedule has been. Here, we play on teams after beating the spread by 30 or more points total in their last five games, team from a second tier division 1-A conference against a team from a mid-major conference. This situation is 82-49 ATS (62.6 percent) since 1997. 10* (660) BYU Cougars

This is a play on the TOLEDO ROCKETS for our CBB Saturday Afternoon Dominator. It was an ugly week last week for Toledo which lost both of its games as favorites against what are considered inferior teams. The Rockets were riding a five-game winning streak but have nor dropped four straight against the number which is adding value to this play here. The last two games can be chalked up as an aberration as the Rockets' six double-digit wins this season give them 21 victories of 10 points or more since the start of the 2018-19 season. Bradley is 7-0 inside Carver Arena this season and has won 11 straight home games dating back to last year. Junior forward Elijah Childs leads the Braves with 15.0 ppg and 9.4 rpg but he is out on Saturday as he is dealing with a hand injury and is expected to be out another week. Here, we play on teams after being beaten by the spread by 36 or more points total in their last five games going up against an opponent after going under the total by more than 12 points in two consecutive games. This situation is 53-23 ATS (69.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (621) Toledo Rockets

This is a play on the WASHINGTON HUSKIES for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Washington and Houston are coming off blowout wins in the first two rounds of the Diamond Head Classic and we are catching a great line with the Huskies. They defeated Ball St. by 21 points and then took out host Hawaii by 11 points on Monday. They are led by their trio of former McDonald's All-Americans and while they are young, they are extremely talented. Houston is off to a solid 9-3 start following wins against Portland and Georgia Tech. They made a trip to the Sweet 16 last season and finished 33-4 overall but they had to replace four starters and have not defeated anyone of note this season. Houston is a great rebounding team but this will be the biggest test of the season against a tall and athletic Washington team. The Huskies are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as a favorite. 10* (828) Washington Huskies

This is a play on the WASHINGTON HUSKIES for our CBB Monday Enforcer. Washington and Hawaii are coming off wins in the first round of the Diamond Head Classic but the Huskies looked a lot more impressive. They defeated Ball St. 21 points but it was the way they did it early on that was special. The Cardinals opened the game making four of their first six three-pointers and head coach Mike Hopkins, who employs the 2-3 zone from his days as an assistant at Syracuse, decided to switch to man and Washington was able to pull away showing that this team has the ability to change it up when needed. They are led by their trio of former McDonald's All-Americans and while they are young, they are extremely talented. Hawaii defeated an average UTEP team by four points and while it is playing on its home floor, the Warriors are severely outmanned in this matchup. The only two games they have played against upper tier talent, they lost to Illinois and Oregon by 13 and 25 points respectively. Here, we play on neutral court teams as a favorite or pickem from a major Division 1 conference going up against a team from a mid-major Division 1 conference, playing their 2nd road game in 3 days. This situation is 43-16 ATS (72.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (815) Washington Huskies

This is a play on the SOUTH DAKOTA COYOTES for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. After getting drubbed by Kansas by 41 points, Kansas City returned home and defeated MAC favorite Toledo by 15 points as a seven-point underdog. The Rockets shot just 18 percent from long range while committing 16 turnovers and while you can chalk it up to a great defensive performance from the Kangaroos, that was not the case as this defense is not good as they are ranked No. 240 in shooting defense and now face a very efficient offense looking to rebound. South Dakota, a contender to win the Summit League, is coming off a bad loss against Northern Colorado as it got outscored by 17 points in the second half. Northern Colorado buried seven of its 10 three-pointers in the second half while South Dakota, one of the best three-point shooting teams in the country, was held without a triple in eight attempts. This is the final non-conference game for the Coyotes and they will be not only looking to bounce back from Friday, but also get some revenge from a two-point loss in this facility a year ago. The Kangaroos are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games against teams with a winning home record while the Coyotes are 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven games following a double-digit loss at home. 10* (782) South Dakota Coyotes

This is a play on the TEXAS A&M AGGIES for our CBB Game of the Week. Oregon St. is off to a 9-1 start as it has won seven straight games following its lone loss against Oklahoma. This includes a 3-0 record on the road but all three wins were as double-digit favorites so the Beavers take a big step up in competition here even though the Aggies are not expected to do a whole lot in the SEC. They have not been favored on the road against a major conference team by this many points since 2012 and there really is no reason for it to happen now. Texas A&M snapped a five-game losing streak with a win over Texas A&M-CC but it was close with another non-cover which put the Aggies at 1-8 on the season against the number. These are the streaks we love to go against especially with a veteran team that returns a ton of talent as five of the six top scorers are back from last season and this is a great opportunity to build off that win. Home losses against Gonzaga and Temple were expected but this is one they should not let get away. 10* (708) Texas A&M Aggies

This is a play on the VCU RAMS for our CBB Saturday Afternoon Dominator. VCU is off to a 9-2 start with the two losses coming against Purdue and Tennessee by three points. What makes this game value wise for the Rams is that they have dropped their last six games against the number including those aforementioned games by just one point each and they have been favored in all of the other games. Wichita St. has won and covered three straight games including a pair of impressive wins against Oklahoma and Oklahoma St. and that is also playing into this line. While they are 9-1, the Shockers have played the No. 248 ranked schedule which includes those two previous wins mentioned. VCU rolled in this meeting last season and seven of the top eight scorers are back so it again has the edge on the floor and yet is getting a great number. 10* (601) VCU Rams

This is a play on the GEORGIA BULLDOGS for our CBB Friday Supreme Annihilator. We played against Georgia last Saturday as it got hammered at Arizona St. A big reason for that was because of the scheduling as Georgia had won two straight games but those came against Chaminade and North Carolina Central in Hawaii and then it traveled to Arizona St. for its first true road game of the season. The Bulldogs are back home where they are 5-0 and their six wins overall are already more than half of what they had all of last season. It has been an overhaul for head coach Tom Cream, now in his second year, but he has the best player on the floor in guard Anthony Edwards who is the highest rated recruit ever to come to Georgia. The Bulldogs are 5-2 ATS in their last seven home games against teams with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. SMU is also coming off a loss, its first of the season, as it fell at home against Georgetown by 17 points. This will be the biggest test to date for the Mustangs which are picked to finish just sixth in the AAC following a 15-win season last year. The Mustangs are 4-10-2 ATS in their last 16 games following a double-digit loss at home. 10* (844) Georgia Bulldogs

This is a play on the COASTAL CAROLINA CHANTICLEERS as part of our CBB Thursday Trifecta. Coastal Carolina has won four straight games, covering the last three, as it heads into Sun Belt Conference action looking to get off to a great start. The Chanticleers are contenders this season after a .500 finish last year, both overall and in the conference. Of the four losses on the season, two came against Mississippi St. and Baylor while the other two came against a single point. The Chanticleers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. Troy is coming off an overtime loss at Chattanooga which snapped a three-game winning streak and the Trojans are now on a 4-0 ATS roll. They are currently ranked as the worst team in the Sun Belt despite playing the third easiest schedule as two of their four wins have come against non-Division I teams. Here, we play against home teams as an underdog or pickem averaging 62 or more shots per game going up against an opponent after a game where they made 55 percent of their shots or better. This situation is 42-15 ATS (73.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (713) Coastal Carolina Chanticleers

This is a play on the EAST TENNESSEE ST. BUCCANEERS as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. Based on name recognition, this is a mismatch especially with what LSU accomplished last season. And that is being factored into this line. The Tigers went 28-7 last season including a 16-2 record in the SEC and they managed to make a run into the Sweet 16 before eventually getting crushed by Michigan St. They are off to a 7-2 start including a 6-0 record at home but that includes so quality wins. A game against East Tennessee St. seems like it should be a layup but that is far from the case. The Buccaneers are 9-2 following a 24-10 record last season and this is arguably the best team head coach Steve Forbes has had in his five years at the school. They bring back all five starters and East Tennessee St. has two of the best players in the Southern Conference in Jeromy Rodriguez and Bo Hodges, the former being tabbed as the preseason Player of the Year. The Buccaneers have been underdogs only once this season and that was at Kansas, a game in which they held their own and covered. 10* (657) East Tennessee St. Buccaneers

This is a play on the CREIGHTON BLUEJAYS for our CBB Tuesday Star Attraction. Creighton is 8-2 this season, including an 83-76 overtime win vs. No. 12 Texas Tech in Las Vegas on Nov. 29 and a 95-76 romp over Nebraska on Dec. 7. The Bluejays are 7-0 at home this year, with each victory coming by nine points or more. This team is playing exceptionally well right now evidenced by its fast starts. Creighton has played four straight games with a halftime lead of 14+ points for the first time since Nov. 22-Dec. 6, 2003. That ties into a recent trend as Creighton is 6-0 ATS in its last 6 games after leading in their previous game by 15 or more points at the half. Oklahoma is off to a 7-2 start but it coming off a loss to Wichita St. on Saturday and has now failed to cover five of its last six games. The Sooners are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 road games after allowing 80 points or more. This is a revenge game for the Bluejays as they lost at Oklahoma last season by 13 points nearly a year ago to the day. Here, we play on teams where the line is +3 to -3 after leading their last three games by five points or more at the half going up against an opponent after scoring 75 points or more three straight games. This situation is 74-38 ATS (66.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (612) Creighton Bluejays

This is a play on the MARSHALL THUNDERING HERD for our CBB Monday Enforcer. Marshall is coming off a 23-win season which was culminated by winning the College Insider Tournament. This despite of lack of size and depth but the Thundering Hers are stronger in those categories this season. They found its way back into the winning column, picking up its third win of the season following a three-game losing streak. Marshall is now 3-6 overall in non-conference play. Marshall is ranked second in the CUSA with an average of 76.6 possessions per game. The uptempo Thundering Herd have raised that total to 78 possessions per game over their last five games. Marshall sits in first in the Division I in blocks per game with 7.7. The Thundering Herd sit second in Conference USA and 34th in the country in steals per game with 9.2. While just 0-3 on the road, those losses came against Toledo, picked to win the MAC West, Notre Dame and Florida. Morehead St. has lost five of its last six games and while the Eagles are undefeated at home, they have played nobody. The Eagles are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games as a home favorite. Here, we play against home teams where the line is +3 to -3 in a game involving two teams averaging 20 or more three-pointers per game after three straight game shooting 40 percent or less. This situation is 37-14 ATS (72.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (821) Marshall Thundering Herd

This is a play on the BRADLEY BRAVES for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Both Georgia Southern and Bradley come in riding modest two-game winning streaks and we give the edge to the home team. The Braves are a perfect 7-0 at home this season which includes a very impressive win over Kansas St. and they are outscoring opponents by over 20 ppg. Bradley's Darrell Brown, Nate Kennell and Koch Bar have combined to score 43 percent of the team's points this season, including 37 percent of all Braves scoring over the last five games. Bradley has an assist on 55 of 89 field goals (61.8 percent) across its past three outings while Georgia Southern has assists on 33 of 82 field goals (40.2 percent) during its past three games. The Eagles are coming off a win over Carver Bible College and they hit the road where they are 1-2 on the season. They play at a fast pace but they have one of the worst defenses in the country and that is a problem against the potent Braves offense. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in a game involving two teams outscoring opponents by eight or more ppg, after leading in their previous game by 20 or more points at the half. This situation is 34-7 ATS (82.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (800) Bradley Braves

This is a play on the UTAH ST. AGGIES as part of our CBB Saturday Trifecta. Utah St. and BYU square off in the second game of the Beehive Classic and the Aggies are in excellent shape to break a seven-game losing streak in this series. Utah St. has just one loss this season, an eight-point loss at St. Marys which is nothing to shrug about. The Aggies have been pegged to win the MWC after going 28-7 last season and have four starters back including All-MWC Preseason Player of the Year Sam Merrill who missed the last game but will be back tonight. BYU is an improved and in their last two contests, the Cougars have rolled over MWC teams. They blasted UNLV a week ago, 83-50, and then thumped Nevada, 75-42, earlier this week. The Aggies have held opponents to 37.8 percent shooting for the season and 60.3 ppg. Defense will be key against BYU, who is shooting 48.6 percent from the floor and averaging 77.5 ppg. Here, we play on neutral court teams as a favorite or pickem, averaging 76 ppg going up against teams averaging between 74 and 76 ppg, after scoring 75 points or more two straight games. This situation is 208-134 ATS (60.8 percent) since 1997. 10* (767) Utah St. Aggies

This is a play on the COLORADO BUFFALOES for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Colorado came into the week ranked in the AP Top 25 but that will be long gone following a pair of losses against Kansas and Northern Iowa. The Buffaloes have failed to cover in any of their last six games but there will be plenty of motivation here against their rival and they do not play again for six days when they face Prairie View. The disruptive Colorado defense has forced opponents to turn the ball over on 25.4 percent of all possessions, the 23rd-best rate in the nation. Colorado St. has a forced-turnover percentage of only 17.6 percent through 12 games which is 301st in the country. Colorado St. is coming off a narrow win over South Dakota St. but momentum is not on its side. The two losses that came before that victory came in early MWC play, a 79-57 blowout defeat at home to San Diego St. followed by a 75-64 setback at Boise St. Opponents have found too many open shots along the way with the Rams 246th in the country allowing opponents to convert nearly 45 percent from the field. Colorado has been pegged to win the Pac 12 while the Rams are expected to finish toward the bottom of the MWC so the talent differential here is pretty big. 10* (675) Colorado Buffaloes

This is a play on the IOWA ST. CYCLONES for our CBB Thursday Enforcer. Iowa St. is coming off a win on Sunday over Seton Hal which avenged a loss to the Pirates 10 days prior in the Bahamas and now the Cyclones will be out for revenge against their hated rival. The home team has won four straight in this series including an Iowa win by 14 points last season in a game that Iowa St. was actually favored in on the road. Iowa St. is 5-0 at Hilton Coliseum this season and puts its 12-game non-conference home winning streak on the line Thursday. Taking care of the ball has been the key to success for the Cyclones as they have had fewer turnovers than their opponent in all nine games this season and the starting guard trio of Tyrese Haliburton, Rasir Bolton and Prentiss Nixon own a 2.1 assist-to-turnover ratio. Overall, the Cyclones rank 18th nationally in assist-to-turnover ratio, ninth in turnover margin and 21st in turnovers per game. Iowa comes in at just 1-2 on the road and going back, the Hawkeyes are just 5-18 ATS in their last 23 road games. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in a game involving two teams outscoring opponents by 8.0 or more ppg, after two straight wins by 10 points or more. This situation is 87-47 ATS (64.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (664) Iowa St. Cyclones

This is a play on the TULSA GOLDEN HURRICANE for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Tulsa is coming off a bad loss on Saturday as it lost at home against Arkansas St. as a 12.5-point favorite. It was their first non-conference loss in 19 games for the Golden Hurricane which had won six straight games prior to that. It was a bad luck game as Tulsa shot 51.1 percent from the floor but the difference was from the free throw line as Arkansas St. went 14-17 while Tulsa was just 8-11 from the charity stripe. Tulsa was 18-14 last season and while just two starters came back, Martins Igbanu is a potential All-AAC player and the addition of transfer Brandon Rachal has been huge as he is averaging 15.9 ppg and 7.1 rpg while shooting 59 percent from the floor. Boise St. comes into this game following a 75-64 win at home against Colorado St. which was the Broncos first in Mountain West Conference victory this season after losing its opener at New Mexico. The Broncos have covered five straight games which is a big reason they are getting two-thirds of the action here yet the line has actually stayed firm. Last season, Tulsa was one of just seven Division I programs without a scholarship freshmen on its roster but this season, the 14-man roster has a combined 18 years of Division I playing experience which will pay dividends in a bounce back spot. 10* (642) Tulsa Golden Hurricane

This is a play on the INDIANA HOOSIERS for our CBB Tuesday Enforcer. Indiana and Connecticut square off in the second game of the Jimmy V Classic from MSG and this is an important game for both side. Both have been out of the national conversation over the past few years, with neither team making the NCAA Tournament since 2016, but this game will hold a lot of weight as both programs are looking to have rejuvenating seasons. Indiana opened the season 8-0 but is coming off an uninspiring effort against Wisconsin on Saturday in its Big Ten opener as it lost by 20 points. That was the Hoosiers first venture away from home which puts them in a good spot tonight to bounce back. Connecticut has won three straight games to improve to 6-2 on the season. The Huskies are not a very good shooting team, especially from two-point range where they are shooting just 45 percent which is No. 283 in the country. Connecticut makes up for it with strong rebounding but Indiana holds a 10.4 rebounding advantage over its opponents. Additionally, Indiana leads the country in free throws made per game (20.9) and free throws attempted per game (29.7). Here, we play on neutral court teams as a favorite or pickem that are averaging 76 or more ppg after two or more consecutive overs, going up against teams averaging between 74 and 76 ppg. This situation is 55-24 ATS (69.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (629) Indiana Hoosiers

This is a play on the IOWA HAWKEYES for our CBB Monday Enforcer. Iowa looks to bounce back from its first conference loss of the season as it fell at No. 4 Michigan on Friday 103-91. The Hawkeyes are now 6-3 on the season and their three defeats have come to teams with a combined 26-1 record (DePaul, San Diego St., Michigan). Iowa will be playing its first home game since Nov. 24 versus Cal Poly. Minnesota is playing first game in a week after it defeated Clemson 78-60 at home in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. This is the first conference game of the season for the Gophers and they are making their first road trip since Nov. 15 at Utah. Minnesota is making its living behind the three-point arc. Its 9.6 made threes per game ranks 29th nationally and first in the Big Ten but it is shooting just 35.4 percent on 218 attempts, which ranks 101st in the country. Minnesota is 0-2 on the road and going back, Iowa holds a 57-41 advantage in games played in Iowa City and a 21-10 advantage at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Iowa has won 12 of the last 17 meetings in Iowa City, including five of the last six. The Hawkeyes are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss while the Gophers are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win. 10* (824) Iowa Hawkeyes

This is a play on the BUFFALO BULLS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. We won with DePaul on Wednesday as it defeated Texas Tech and a big reason for the play was the line was off based on the prior season results for the Red Raiders. That is continuing here as the Blue Demons win was a quality one, but not one that should affect their lines going forward but that is the case here. DePaul is 9-0 and a team on the rise based on their big recruiting class but this is not a good spot for them coming off their biggest win of the season. Buffalo was the power team in the MAC last season with a 16-2 record and the Bulls won 59 games over the previous two seasons. While there is some expected dropoff, there is not enough to warrant a line of this sort. In two road games this season against major opposition, the Bulls were getting three and Connecticut and four at Vanderbilt and now they are suddenly getting nine at DePaul. Here, we play on road teams as an underdog or pickem after allowing 90 points or more going up against an opponent after two straight wins by six points or less. This situation is 98-55 ATS (64.1 percent) since 1997. 10* (797) Buffalo Bulls

This is a play on the WESTERN KENTUCKY HILLTOPPERS as part of our CBB Saturday Trifecta. After opening the season with five straight blowout wins and covers, it has been a rough stretch for Arkansas. It has won its last three games but it has not been pretty as the Razorbacks defeated a below average Georgia Tech team by one point in overtime and then escaped Northern Kentucky and Austin Peay by six and eight points respectively as 15-point favorites in each. Now comes the biggest road test and they are a false-favorite. The Razorbacks are 13-27 ATS in their last 40 games as a road favorite. Western Kentucky, the preseason favorite in C-USA, is off to a 6-3 start following a pair of losses. The Hilltoppers lost at home against No. 1 Louisville and then suffered a two-point loss at Wright St., the preseason favorite in the Horizon League. Western Kentucky is ranked 33rd in adjusted offensive efficiency and this will be the best offense Arkansas has seen. The Hilltoppers are 16-6 ATS in their last 22 games as an underdog. 10* (714) Western Kentucky Hilltoppers

This is a play on the RHODE ISLAND RAMS for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Providence rolled to a 93-56 win over Merrimack just over two weeks ago but it has been a struggle since then as the Friars have lost three of their last four games, failing to cover any of those as large favorites. In their only true road game this season, the Friars were dumped by Northwestern, picked to finish dead last in the Big Ten, by nine points as nine-point favorites. Providence is 4-14 ATS in its last 18 games after playing five consecutive games as favorite. Rhode Island has dropped three of its four nonconference games to date that could have opened some eyes on the national level. The Rams have only a home win over Alabama to show for a strong schedule, with road defeats against Maryland and West Virginia bracketing a loss to LSU on a neutral floor at the Jamaica Classic. The Rams are in good shape as all five starters are back from last season and they will be out for payback after losing against their rival by nine points on the road last season. Rhode Island is shooting 75.2 percent from the line at home which is a huge factor especially with lines this low. The Rams are 19-9 ATS in their last 28 games as favorites of seven points or less. 10* (620) Rhode Island Rams

This is a play on the FURMAN PALADINS for our CBB Thursday Enforcer. Auburn will play its first home game in over two weeks when they host the Furman Paladins on Thursday night. The Tigers have had more than a week off after winning the Legends Classic tournament in Brooklyn last week but those wins came against Richmond and New Mexico and Furman ranks right with those teams. Auburn was favored by a similar amount against Georgia Southern whose power ranking is double that of the Paladins and the Tigers failed to cover that game. While talented, this team lost a ton from the Final Four team from last season. Furman meanwhile brings back four of its five starters from its team that went 25-8 and made a trip to the NIT. The Paladins are 7-2 this season including an eight-point loss against Alabama, which was picked to finish right behind Auburn in the SEC. They are 8-2 in their last 10 road games and last season, the Paladins went on the road and beat then-No. 8 Villanova 76-68 in overtime. Furman is a perfect 7-0 when at least three of its players score in double-digits but 0-2 when fewer than three Paladins players score in double-digits. 10* (605) Furman Paladins

This is a play on the NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. The seventh-ranked Tar Heels take on No. 6 Ohio State Wednesday night in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. Following a loss to Michigan, North Carolina bounced back to defeat Oregon 78-74 behind a big effort from Armando Bacot. It was a positive sign for the Tar Heels, who are looking for a second player to take on a bigger scoring role outside of Cole Anthony. The Buckeyes are the higher ranked team and a lot of that has to do with the teams that started above them have mostly all fallen. They lead all of Division I in scoring margin on the season and have only one game that was decided by fewer than 10 points. That is the positive news. The bad news is that this is their first road game of the season and it could not come at a tougher place. On top of that, Ohio St. has played the No. 286 ranked schedule in the country. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in a game involving teams outscoring opponents by 8 or more ppg, after scoring 45 points or more in the first half last game. This situation is 62-29 ATS (68.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (870) North Carolina Tar Heels

This is a play on the CREIGHTON BLUEJAYS for our CBB Tuesday Supreme Annihilator. After getting destroyed by Oklahoma St. by 31 points in Las Vegas, Creighton bounced back the next day with an impressive win over Texas Tech. that can be attributed to experience as it has four starters back from the 20-win team that made it to the NIT. The Bluejays are 5-2 with the other loss coming against No. 5 Michigan while going a perfect 4-0 at home. And going back, they are 21-9 ATS in their last 30 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Oral Roberts is 3-4 with the three wins coming against cupcakes including two non-Division I teams. The Golden Eagles are shooting just 35.4 percent from the floor on the road and they are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games against teams with a winning home record. Here, we play on favorites of 10 or more points after being beaten by the spread by 30 or more points total in their last five games, team from a major division 1-A conference against a team from a mid-major division 1-A conference. This situation is 39-15-1 (72.2 percent) since 1997 while going a perfect 55-0 straight up. 10* (788) Creighton Bluejays
