Take Texas Tech.

Game 801.

5:49 pm pst

Both teams owned the best records in conference play during the regular season. And, both knocked off the top seeds in the regional's. While Michigan State is a bit stronger both offensively and on the boards, there is no denying just how frustrating Texas Tech's #2 ranked defense (59.0 PPG allowed) is. The Red Raiders have won and covered all four contests this Tournament. Their defense didn't just contain their opposition, it shut them down. Texas Tech held Buffalo and Gonzaga to just, 58 and 69 points. These are two of the top scoring teams in the nation. In between, they dominated Michigan, 63-44, a team that posted 60 against MSU just a few weeks ago. The Spartans reached the Final Four despite the absence of Joshua Langford (out, ankle). But, this is the matchup they are going to miss their standout Guard more than ever. The trio of DD scoring Guards, Culver, Moretti, and Mooney (41.5 PPG, 11.6 RPG combined) will control the tempo and be the difference here. The Red Raiders are 5-0 ATS the last five games played vs. Big Ten opponents, 10-1 ATS the last 11 games played vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600, and 13-3 ATS the last 16 games played overall. Take Texas Tech. Thank you.

Take Auburn.

Game 803.

3:09 pm pst.

Virginia is in the Final Four for the first time since 1984 while Auburn is making its first Final Four appearance in its 113 year history. We all remember what happened to Virginia in last year's Big Dance as they were the first #1 seed to be ousted by a #16 seed in Tournament history. This year's Tourney saw Virginia have a bit tougher of a time than they'd care to admit. They couldn't cover against Gardner Webb, got a 1.5 point cover against Oklahoma, couldn't get the bettors paid against Oregon, and eked by Purdue to get a 1 point cover in OT. Auburn got by with a win and no cover against New Mexico State, then devoured Kansas by 14, beat North Carolina outright by 17 points, as a 5.5 point underdog, and bested Kentucky by 6 in OT, getting 4.5 points. Their last three opponents are some of college basketball's most successful teams. The Cavaliers possess the nation's #1 scoring defense (55.4 PPG), but their offense just won't be able to keep pace here. The Tigers own a fast-paced scoring offense (80.2 PPG) that will keep the Cavs off-balanced in transition. Auburn is 8-2 ATS the last 10 games played overall. Virginia is 2-6 ATS the last eight NCAA Tournament games. Take the Tigers. Thank you.

Take Lipscomb.

Game 727.

4:00 pm pst.

To get to the NIT Championship game, Lipscomb beat Davidson, UNC Greensboro, NC State, and Wichita State, as an underdog in each. The Bison possess an explosive offense (83.6 PPG, 48.3%), led by Guard, Garrison Mathews (21.1 PPG, 5.4 RPG). During the regular season, Lipscomb beat both SMU and TCU, and lost by only 4 points to Louisville. They are not a team that can be intimidated. BTW, Texas was 0-2 during the regular season against TCU. The Longhorns are from the competitive, Big 12, and traditionally have had success in the NIT, however, this is a squad that does not have an offense that can post a lot of points (70.8 PPG), can not shoot very well from both the FT line (69.4%) or from the 3-point line (34.8%), can not rebound very well (rank 247th offensively, 173rd defensively), and can not defend the "3" (ranking 255th). So, facing a Lipscomb offense that hits 37.5% beyond the arc is going to be an issue. The Bison are 22-7-1 ATS the L30 non-conference games. The Longhorns are 2-5 ATS the L7 overall games. Take Lipscomb. Thank you.

Take Houston.

This is my BEST BET.

Game 583.

7:05 pm pst.

Houston has won and covered all 3 meetings with Sacramento this season. Now that the Kings are eliminated from playoff contention along with the fact that the Rockets (despite clinching the SW) can better their seeding, prompts us to take them here. The well-balanced Houston team is led by James harden, who is averaging over 42.8 PPG in the L6 contests. The Rockets are 22-10 ATS the L32 meetings over the Kings. Take Houston. Thank you.

Take Wichita State.

This is my CONSENSUS PLAY.

Game 709.

4:00 pm pst.

Wichita State has been money, going 15-2 SU and 14-3 ATS the L17 games, including a current, 5-game ATS hot streak. The Shockers face better competition throughout the season and are no strangers to Tournament action. As  matter of fact, they are just 1 of 4 programs that have won 22 or more games in each of the L10 season's (Duke, Kansas, Gonzaga). Take WSU. Thank you.

Take Miami.

This is my BB play.

Game 563.

4:35 pm pst.

Boston has been sliding for over a month now, going 7-11 SU and 5-13 ATS the L18 games. Miami has been better than competitive in this series, winning 3 of the L4 meetings Su and covering all 4. This is way too many points for a Celtics team to lay that is 0-6 ATS the L6 at home and 2-8 ATS the L10 overall. The Heat is 8-1 ATS the L9 vs. the NBA Atlantic and 22-8 ATS the L30 on the road. Take Miami. Thank you.

Take Charlotte.

This is my SD play.

Game 557.

5:35 pm pst.

Golden State owns a miserable, 13-23-1 ATS record at home this season and have a big matchup with Western Conference co-leader, Denver up next on Tuesday. This is a huge "let down" spot where the Warriors are just looking to win and not cover. The Road team is 6-0-1 ATS the L7 meetings in this series. The Hornets are 6-2-1 ATS the L9 games played at the Warriors, and 4-1 ATS the L5 games played overall. The Warriors are 1-6 ATS the L7 games played on1 days rest and 1-5 ATS the L6 games played vs. the Eastern Conference. Take Charlotte. Thank you.

Take Duke.

Game 692.

2:05 pm pst.

Both teams have played great basketball this season. However, Duke has had their way in this series, winning 7 in a row and 9 of the L10 SU. To be quite honest, the Blue devils also possess the better coach down the stretch. Duke has Zion Williamson and a supporting cast of explosive big men. Overall, the team is 10-2 ATS the L12 vs. Big 12 opponents. Take the Blue Devils. Thank you.

Take Dallas.

This is my PH.

Game 549.

12:35 pm pst.

Dallas has played OKC very competitively, winning and covering 2 of the 3 meetings this season, and covering 7 of the L9 overall meetings. These 2 teams match up well, therefore giving the Mavs 12 points is a mistake. They are 4-1 ATS the L5 games played on the road, 22-8 ATS the L30 games played vs. the NBA Northwest, and 36-17 ATS the L53 games played on Sunday. The Thunder are 2-8 ATS the L10 games played at home, 0-4 ATS the L4 games played vs. the NBA Southwest, and 5-15 ATS the L20 games played overall. Take Dallas. Thank you.

Take Auburn.

Game 693.

11:20 am pst.

This is going to be a very tight game. It's hard to go against a team that is on an 11-game SU win streak and has more experienced players. Kentucky has a ton of talent but this is a very young squad. They are 1-5 ATS the L6 vs. the SEC. The Tigers are 5-1 ATS the L6 vs. the SEC. Take Auburn. Thank you.

Take Gonzaga.

This is my ANNIHILATOR play.

game 684.

3:09 pm pst.

The carriage turns back into a pumpkin for a Texas Tech squad as they go up against the most well-balanced team they’ve had to face all season. Gonzaga owns the #1 scoring offense in the nation, averaging over 88.2 PPG on 52.8% shooting, which also outs them at #1. The Red Raiders are known for their defense but the Bulldogs and their 4 DD scorers are just too much here. Hachimura and Clarke are both 6'8" and are a big presence in the paint that will contain the offensively mediocre Texas Tech squad that average just 72.9 PPG. Gonzaga is 9-4-1 ATS the L13 vs. the Big 12 and 6-1 ATS the L7 non-conference games. Take the Bulldog. Thank you.

Take Houston.

This is my CONSENSUS PLAY.

Game 671.

6:57 pm pst.

The status of Kentucky's top-performer, PJ Washington is still unknown as of post. Whether the Forward plays or not, the Wildcats are going to have issues facing the Cougars stifling defense (7th in points allowed, 61.0 PPG, 1st in FG%, 36.6%, 1st in 3-point%, 27.8%). Houston has speed, size, and muscle. Kentucky's youth is going to hurt them here. TAKE THE COUGARS. Thank you.

Take Virginia Tech.

Game 669.

6:39 pm pst.

I am not saying that Duke isn't a great team. Nor, am I saying that Zion Williamson isn't one of the best players in the nation. What I am saying is that the Blue Devils have covered just once over the five contests since the Forward has returned to active duty. Overall, Duke has crushed bettors, going 3-10 ATS the last 13 outings. This is a lot of points to give a Virginia Tech team that allows a mere, 61.7 PPG (9th) and shoots lights out from beyond the arc (8th, 39.5%). The Hokies are 5-2 ATS the last seven meetings vs. the Blue Devils. The Blue Devils are 0-4 ATS the last four NCAA Tournament games. TAKE VIRGINIA TECH

Take North Carolina.

This is my TOURNAMENT GOY.

game 674.

4:29 pm pst.

Auburn is a team that hasn't been to the Elite Eight since 1986. Yes, they are on a 10-game SU win streak. But, to get here, they eked out a 1-point win over New Mexico State then shredded a depleted, Kansas squad. North Carolina is a whole different animal. The Tar Heels are explosive, accounting for 86.0 PPG and own the top offensive rebounding squad in college basketball. By the way, of their 29 victories this season, 27 have come by 6 or more points. The Tigers fall short against this conference, going 1-4 ATS the last five vs. the ACC. The Tar Heels are 20-8-2 ATS the L30 vs. the SEC. TAKE NORTH CAROLINA. Thank you.

Take LSU.

This is my LVSM.

Game 667.

5:00 pm pst.

The scrappy, Tigers have been competitive all season long, with five of their six losses coming by six points or less. Over the last 19 seasons, Tom Izzo's Spartans have fallen short late in the Big Dance. This is going to be the matchup they will sorely miss Joshua Langford (out, ankle). Remember, Forward, Nick Ward, despite returning to action, is not 100% healed from his hand injury. LSU is 4-1 ATS the last five games played vs. the Big Ten. MSU is 1-4 ATS the last five NCAA Tournament games. TAKE THE TIGERS. Thank you.

Take Oregon.

This is my ANNIHILATOR.

Game 653.

6:57 pm pst.

Odds makers are giving Oregon too much of a cushion here only because they are a PAC 12 rep. The Ducks have won and covered 10 straight and possess the frontline to give the Cavaliers problems. Virginia is 1-5 ATS the last six NCAA Tournament games. TAKE OREGON. Thank you.

Take Michigan.

This is my POWERHOUSE.

Game 658.

6:39 pm pst.

Two of the best defenses in the nation square off here (#3 Texas Tech, 59.2 PPG allowed, #2 Michigan, 58.2 PPG allowed). Michigan will control the tempo behind their trio of talented Guards, Poole, Matthews, and Simpson (34.2 PPG combined), while 6'7", Brazdeikis and 7'1", Teske dominate the paint. HC, John Beilin is 20-7 SU in the NCAA's since 2009. The Wolverines are 9-3 ATS the L12 vs. the Big 12. TAKE MICHIGAN. Thank you.

Take Colorado.

This is my MONEY MAKER.

Game 627.

6:00 pm pst.

Colorado is loaded with playmakers and possess a solid corps or rebounders, on both ends of the court. The Buffaloes are particularly tough on the defensive glass, ranking 16th in the nation. Texas, which hits just 43.3% of their shots as it is, won't get many 2nd chances in this matchup. The Longhorns have been point spread poison, failing to cover their L5 in a row. Colorado is 6-0 ATS the L6 meetings vs. Texas, 4-0 ATS the L4 vs. Big 12 opponents, and 6-2 ATS the L8 overall. Take the Buffaloes. Thank you.

Take NC State.

This is my SLAM DUNK.

game 626.

6:00 pm pst.

This is a short price to lay with a good, ACC squad over the 2nd place A-Sun team. The Wolf Pack can score points, averaging over 79.7 PPG (34th). They face a Bisons "D" that ranks 123rd, yielding over 69.4 PPG. NC State goes up against better competition throughout the season and even in this Tournament, besting Hofstra and Harvard to get to the Quarter Finals. Liberty is just 3-8 ATS the L11 overall games. Take the Wolf Pack. Thank you.

Take Los Angeles.

This is my POWERHOUSE.

Game 563.

5:05 pm pst.

Los Angeles is fighting to better their playoff seeding as the Clippers have won 5 in a row and 10 of their L11 SU. This is a well-balanced team that also wins and covers on the road (21-17 SU, 22-16 ATS). Minnesota has dropped 5 of their L6, both SU and ATS. Karl-Anthony Towns has put up some impressive numbers, but just can't do it all by himself. LAC is hotter, healthier, and has too much offense here. Look for the NBA's #2, 3-point shooting offense to decimate the League's 30th ranked 3-point defense. The Clippers are 11-4-1 ATS the L15 games played at the Timberwolves, 5-1 ATS the L6 games played vs. the Western Conference, and 5-1 ATS the L6 games played on 1 days rest. Take Los Angeles. Thank you.

Take Houston.

This is my SLAM DUNK.

Game 872.

5:40 pm pst.

While Houston owns one of the best defenses in the country, they can also score points and rebound at both ends of the court. Ohio State has problems putting points up and can not rebound at all. They hit just 43.6% from the field and 34.0% from beyond the arc. For a team that ranks 214th on the "O" boards, this spells doom. The Buckeyes are 1-8 ATS the L9 NCAA Tournament games, 2-7 ATS the L9 games played following an ATS win, and 4-9 ATS the L13 game splayed vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600. The Cougars are 7-2 ATS the L9 non-conference games, 8-3 ATS the L11 games played on neutral sites, and 34-16-2 ATS the L52 games played overall. Take Houston. Thank you.

Take Virginia.

This is my MONEYMAKER.

Game 862.

4:45 pm pst.

Virginia was down 36-30 at halftime in their opening round matchup vs. Gardner Webb. The Cavaliers came out in the 2nd half to get the win, 71-56. They will come out here and make a statement. Look for the nation's #1 defense (55.1 PPG allowed) to stifle the Sooners offense, while the 4th ranked, 3-point shooting squad lights up Oklahoma's porous "D". OU lost by 20 to Wisconsin, 13 and 15 to Kansas State, 30 to Baylor, 12 to Texas Tech, and 17 to Iowa State. They are just 4-9 ATS the L13 NCAA Tournament games. Take Virginia. Thank you.  

Take Buffalo.

This is my Las Vegas Strip Move.

Game 869.

3:10 pm pst.

Yes, Texas Tech can play defense. But Buffalo owns a well-balanced squad, consisting of size, speed, and accuracy, resulting in 85.1 PPG. The Bulls also rank 8th in the nation on the offensive boards. This all adds up to be a bit too much for the Red Raiders to contend with their stagnant offense (73.1 PPG). Buffalo is 20-6-2 ATS the L28 neutral site games and 9-2-1 ATS the L11 non-conference games. Texas Tech is 11-24 ATS the L35 neutral site games and 2-6 ATS the L8 non-conference games. Take the Bulls. Thank you.

Take Xavier.

This is my NIT GOY.

Game 897.

1:00 pm pst. 

Xavier has 5 DD scorers and a slew of monster rebounders. Texas just doesn't possess the size or the muscle to contend in the paint here. The Musketeers have been money down the stretch, covering 9 of their L10 outings while the Longhorns come in here on a 4-game ATS slide. They are also 2-5 ATS the L7 vs. the Big East. Xavier is 7-3-1 ATS the L11 vs. the Big 12. Take the Musketeers. Thank you.

Take Auburn.

This is my SLAM DUNK.

Game 849.

6:45 pm pst.

Auburn has a much deeper bench and can shoot the "3." Both are going to be problems for Kansas. The red-hot, Tigers have won 9 in a row SU. So laying a basket against a depleted and overrated Jayhawks squad is a solid play. Auburn is 4-1 ATS the L5 vs. the Big 12 and 5-2 ATS the L7 overall. Take the Tigers. Thank you.   

Take Kentucky.

This is my LVSM.

Game 844.

11:40 am pst.

The clock strikes midnight for Wofford today. They did beat Seton Hall in OT on Thursday. But, the Pirates are no Wildcats. Even without PJ Washington, Kentucky possesses too much firepower on both ends of the court. The Terriers lost this season to the Tarheels, the Sooners, the Jayhawks, and the Bulldogs. Wofford id 1-5 ATS the L6 games vs. the SEC. Kentucky is 5-0 ATS the L5 non-conference games. Take the Wildcats. Thank you.

Take LSU.

This is my ANNIHILATOR.

Game 842.

9:10 am pst.

LSU has proven they can win amidst controversy and without HC, Will Wade. The Tigers own an explosive offense that accounts for 81.3 PPG. Maryland just doesn't the horses to keep up on the offensive side and are totally outclassed and outmanned on the boards here. The Terrapins are 1-7 ATS the L8 NCAA Tournament games, 1-4 ATS the L5 neutral site games, and 1-4 ATS the L5 overall games. The Tigers are 4-0 ATS the L4 games vs. the Big Ten, 8-1 ATS the L9 games vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600, and 5-2 ATS the L7 games overall. Take LSU. Thank you.

Take UCF.

This is my LVSM.

Game 799.

6:40 pm pst.

7'6", Tacko Fall will devour VCU on the inside while the trio of starting Guards, Taylor, Dawkins, and Allen do damage from the perimeter. The Knights are 11-4 ATS the L15 non-conference games, 5-2 ATS the L7 neutral site games, and 8-2 ATS the L10 overall games. Take Central Florida. Thank you.

Take Houston.

This is my MM.

Game 816.

4:20pm pst.

It's scary to think that Houston is now back to full strength. So, look for a Cougars defense that ranks #1 in FG% and #8 in Points Allowed to come back with a vengeance here after losing to the Bearcats by 12 points on the Conference Tourney. Sunbelt Tourney Champs, Georgia State has no defense whatsoever and succeeds only through the play of Guards, Simonds and Mitchell who they are going against one of the best defenses in the land. Houston possesses 5 stellar Guards themselves, that can all steal, pass, block, score, and play "D". The Cougars are 6-0 ATS the L6 vs. the Sunbelt, 7-3 ATS the L10 on neutral sites, and 33-16-2 ATS the L51 overall. Take Houston. Thank you.

Take Utah State.

This is my HR.

Game 812.

3:50 pm pst.

Behind first year head coach, Craig Smith, Utah State is in their first NCAA Tourney since 2011. They knocked off San Diego State for the MWC Tourney Title. This is a squad overflowing with confidence and pride as they have won 10 straight and 17 of their L18. Guard, Sam Merrill is the Mountain West Conference Player of the Year and averages over 21.2 PPG. They The team also has big men in Center, Neemias Queta (11.9 PPG, 8.9 RPG) and Forward, Quinn Taylor (8.0, 6.3). This team can score points for sure, but the Aggies also play great defense, allowing a mere, 66.8 PPG. Oh, and they are also great on the boards, ranking in the top-20 on both the offensive and defensive glass. Washington has been exposed, with recent losses by 18 and 20 to Oregon. The Huskies have covered just once over their L7 outings. Their "D" played well in PAC 12 play but got smoked stepping out of the conference, losing to Auburn, Minnesota, and Gonzaga. Take Utah State. Thank you.

Take Oregon.

This is my SD.

Game 825.

1:30 pm pst.

Oregon enters the opening round of the Tournament, one of the hottest teams in the Big Dance, winning and covering 8 straight. Wisconsin, on the other hand, has been pointspread poison, covering just 2 of their L10 games. Ethan Happ is one of the best players in the country but in the Big Dance, one player can not be the entire team. The Ducks have are too hot to go against. Take Oregon. Thank you.

Take Tennessee.

This is my PH play.

Game 608.

11:45 am pst.

Tennessee has the speed to dictate the tempo of this game. But, the real mismatch in size, where the Volunteers will dominate in the paint. This is a team that accounts for over 91.8 PPG and shoots 49.7% from the field. Colgate just doesn't have the horses to run in this matchup. They stepped up once this season and got spanked by Syracuse, 77-56. Take Tennessee. Thank you.

Take Cincinnati.

This is my TEN DIMES PLAY.

Game 806.

9:15 am pst.

This just might be one of the biggest mismatches in the opening round. Cincinnati knocked off Houston in Sunday's, AAC Championship game behind 33 points from Conference Player of the Year, Jarron Cumberland. But, let's be honest, the Bearcats are all about the defense, which ranks 12th in the nation, yielding just 62.2 PPG. Iowa limped into the Tournament, dropping 6 of their L8 SU and only covering once in their L10 outings. The Bearcats will completely shut down the Hawkeyes offense and dominate the boards here. Iowa is 1-7 ATS the L8 NCAA Tournament games. Take Cincinnati. Thank you.

Take Old Dominion.

Game 759.

6:50 pm pst.

Purdue's, Carsen Edwards is one of the best players in the country. But, the Guard has carried too much of the workload this season, resulting in both a personal and a team slump. This is way too many points to give the 7th ranked defense in college basketball (60.8 PPG allowed). Take the Monarchs. Thank you.

Take Seton Hall.

Game 769.

6:40 pm pst.

The odds makers have the wrong favorite here. Seton Hall should be a 1-point favorite here. Yes, Wofford is on a 24-game win streak in Southern League play, but the Terriers looked awful in losses and no covers against North Carolina, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Mississippi State. Seton Hall is an athletic and talented team that comes into this matchup covering five straight. Take the Pirates. Thank you.

Take Kentucky.

Game 772.

4:10 pm pst.

In what might be one of the biggest mismatches in the first round, expect Coach Calipari to once again have his well-balanced, squad of playmakers focused on the present. This is the matchup that Abilene Christian will be sorely missing Friday and Maxwell (two starters out since mid-February due to disciplinary issues). The only other time Abilene Christian stepped up in class this season, they were thumped by the Texas Tech, 82-48. Take Kentucky. Thank you.

Take Murray State.

Game 761.

1:30 pm pst.

The “under-the-radar”, Racers are red-hot and have the supporting cast to surprise a sliding, Golden Eagles squad that has dropped five of their last six, both SU and ATS. Take Murray State. Thank you.

Take FSU.

Game 764.

11:00 am pst.

Vermont is a good team...in the American East Conference. They stepped up in class twice this season, giving up 84 to Kansas and 86 to Louisville. The Catamounts don't have the personnel to compete against big frontcourts. So, I must side with a talented, Florida State team that comes in here a bit miffed after losing the ACC Title Game by 10 points to Duke. Take the Seminoles. Thank you.

Take Yale.

Game 767.

9:40 am pst.

This is the strongest the Ivy League has looked in years. Conference Player of the Year, Miye Oni (17.6 PPG, 6.3 RPG) is a potential NBA first rounder and the best player on the court. LSU is distracted as Coach, Will Wade is on suspension. Take the Bulldogs. Thank you.    

Take ASU.

This is my PPP.

Game 713.

6:10 pm pst. 

There is no arguing that Chris Mullins' Red Strom back court of Ponds and Heron are talented. But, Bobby Hurley can counter with his ASU tandem of Guards, Dort and Martin. So, the difference here is the force in the paint, Forward, Zylan Cheatham, the Sun Devils standout averages 11.8 PPG and 10.4 RPG. ASU also finished the season solid, going 6-2, both SU and ATS and only dropping their last outing to Oregon in OT, by 2 points. SJU limped into the Tourney, losing 4 of their L5, both SU and ATS, including a 32-point drubbing at the hands of Marquette. The Red Storm are 3-7 ATS the L10 non-conference games, 5-11 ATS the L16 neutral site games, 1-5 ATS the L6 games vs. the PAC 12, and 0-5 ATS the L5 NCAA Tournament games. Take Arizona State. Thank you.

Take Xavier.

This is my BB.

Game 718.

4:00 pm pst.

This is a perfect example of the disparity among different conferences. Toledo played well in the MAC, but the talent level in the Big East, where Xavier calls home, is much stronger. With 5 DD scorers and 4 monster rebounders, the Musketeers have the edge on size, speed, and muscle, and a big advantage in this matchup. This is a team that is 4-0 ATS the L4 games played at home, 4-0 ATS the L4 games played vs. the MAC, and 8-1 ATS the L9 games played overall. Take Xavier. Thank you.

Take Providence.

This is my NIT 1st RD. GOY.

Game 688.

6:00 pm pst.

Arkansas will be without the team's top scorer, top rebounder, top blocker, and their only true inside threat in Daniel Gafford. The Forward declared himself for the NBA draft. The Razorbacks have no one to contend with the Friars Center, Nate Watson. Even if Gafford played here, they would have had problems on the boards in this matchup. Arkansas is 3-9 ATS the L12 vs. the Big East, 1-5 ATS the L6 non-conference games, and 3-8 ATS the L11 overall. Take Providence. Thank you.

Take St. Bonaventure.

Game 648.

10:00 am pst.

St. Bonaventure has owned St. Louis, taking the L9 meetings SU and 8 of the L10 ATS, including a 66-57 win and cover just 8 days ago. The Bonnies are striding, winning 9 of the L10 SU coming into this matchup, so laying under a basket is a solid play. They are 5-2 ATS the L7 overall. The Billikens are 1-6 ATS in the 3rd game of a 3-in-5 days situation. Take St. Bonaventure. Thank you.

Take Oregon.

Game 637.

7:30 pm pst.

Oregon is on-fire, riding a 7-game SU and ATS hot streak, including a 55-47 victory over Washington as a 5.5 point underdog. Washington is a good team, however, they've gotten "fatigued" late in the season, resulting in a 1-5 ATS L6 and 3-7 ATS L10 run. The Ducks have a ferocious defense and a far better rebounding corps. They are 4-1 ATS the L5 meetings in this series. Take Oregon. Thank you.

Take FSU.

Game 633.

5:30 pm pst.

Despite Zion Williamson's return to the floor for Duke, this is way too many points to give a very talented, deep, and scrappy FSU squad. The Seminoles out-rebounded the Blue devils, 36-27, in January's 2-point loss. Florida State has the depth and the muscle to upset Duke's inside game. Remember that the Blue devils are atrocious from both the outside and for the line (339th 3-pt shooting 30.5%, 247th FT 68.6%). The Seminoles are 4-0 ATS the L4 meetings in this series, 8-1-2 ATS the L11 on neutral sites, 6-2 ATS the L8 vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600, and 8-3 ATS the L11 following a SU win. The Blue Devils are 0-3-1 ATS the L4 vs. the ACC< 1-3-1 ATS the L5 on neutral sites, 0-3-1 ATS the L4 vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600, and 0-7 ATS the L7 following a SU win. Take Florida State. Thank you.

Take Villanova.

Game 630.

3:30 pm pst.

Villanova wants to be the first team in history to win three straight Big East Tournament Titles. After rallying in Friday's, 71-67 OT win vs. Xavier, this team has proven what they are made of. Basketball is all about the basics. And basically, the Wildcats have a better defense and superior rebounders. Villanova is 43-19 ATS the L62 vs. teams with a SU winning record, 36-17 ATS the L53 on neutral sites, and 29-14 ATS the L43 overall. Take Villanova. Thank you.

Take USU.

Game 628.

3:00 pm pst.

Pay no mind to yesterday's win over Nevada for SD State. USU spanked SDSU, 70-54 less than three weeks ago and will do it again here today. The Aggies possess too many playmakers, and explosive offense, and one of the best group of rebounders (rank 12th offensively, 13th defensively), in the nation. After the win over the Wolfpack Friday, expect the Aztecs to come back down to Earth today. USU is 6-2 ATS the L8 overall. Take the Aggies. Thank you.

Take Houston.

Game 618.

12:00 pm pst.

Houston thumped Memphis, 90-77, back in January. The Cougars outrebounded the Tigers and had five players post DD's. Memphis is in "let down" mode here after besting UCF by 24 points yesterday as a 3.5 point underdog. They won't able to put up big points against one of the nation's toughest defenses (8th in Points Allowed 61.1 PPG & 2nd in FG% 37.0%). To make matters worse, Houston owns a thunderous corps of rebounders that will once again dominate the boards. The Cougars are 7-1 ATS the L8 on neutral sites, 22-8-1 ATS the L31 vs. the AAC, 23-9-1 ATS the L33 vs. teams with a SU winning record, and 34-16-2 ATS the L52 overall. Take Houston. Thank you.

Take Duke.

Game 841.

6:30 pm pst.

These rivals have played twice over the last month with UNC winning and covering both. However, that was with all-universe, Zion Williamson sidelined. In his return to action yesterday, the standout accounted for 29 points and 14 rebounds in the teams, 84-72 win and cover over Syracuse. Can you now say revenge? Coach K wants this game badly. Both squads can score and both can rebound. However, the Blue Devils "D" is far better. Take Duke. Thank you.

Take Tennessee.

This is my ANNIHILATOR.

Game 822.

6:30 pm pst.

After winning 19 straight games , 4 weeks in the #1 spot, and losing their regular season contest, and dropping in the polls, look for a very deep and talented, Tennessee squad to make a statement here. Mississippi State is a good team but not of the same caliber as Tennessee. This is basically a home game for the Volunteers, with just a few hours drive on the I-40. Tennessee took the only meetings this season, 71-54. Take the Vols. Thank you.

Take Marquette.

This is my CRUSHER.

Game 834.

6:00 pm pst.

For the third time this season, these 2 Big East rivals square off. Just like the earlier 2 meetings, Marquette will own the boards with a better rebounding corps. Both teams have outstanding leaders in Howard and Powell. Both will get their points. But, the Golden Eagles are so deep with front court talent, that they will devour the Pirates in the paint. If Seton Hall makes adjustments, they are still outclassed trying to match up with the 7th ranked, 3-point shooting team in the nation. Take Marquette. Thank you.

Take SMU.

This is my Powerhouse.

Game 795.

4:00 pm pst.

The 2 meetings this season were decided by an average of 4.0 PPG. SMU comes in here winning their L2 and covering 3 straight outings, while Cincinnati has lost their L2 SU and is riding an 8-game ATS drought. Defensively, the Bearcats are solid. But, this team tends to get overvalued, especially in Conference play, where they are 5-16 ATS the L21 vs. AAC foes. SMU has 4 DD-scoring starters and 4 monster rebounders. They also cover in AAC action, going 4-1 ATS their L5 vs. Conference opponents. Take the Mustangs. Thank you.

Take Xavier.

This is my SLAM DUNK.

Game 831.

3:30 pm pst.

Xavier has 5 starters that are all averaging DD's. The Musketeers have been money to bettors, going 7-1 ATS the L8 vs. the Big East, 4-0 ATS the L4 vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600, and 20-8-2 ATS the L30 games played on neutral sites. Villanova is a solid basketball team, but have not showed the consistency this season that they have in recent campaigns. Take the points with Xavier. Thank you.

Take St. Bonaventure.

This is my CRUSHER.

Game 802.

11:30 am pst.

George Mason played a tough game yesterday with George Washington, while St. Bonaventure has had 5 days to rest and prepare. The Patriots go with a Guard-oriented team. The Bonnies start 3 big men in Stockard, Griffin, and Osunniyi, who will dominate in the paint. George Mason is just 1-6 ATS the L7 meetings with St. Bonaventure, 0-4 ATS the L4 games played on neutral sites, and 3-9 ATS the L12 games played overall. Take St. Bonnie. Thank you.

Take LSU.

This is my CONSENSUS play.

Game 816.

10:00 am pst.

LSU won't be distracted by coach, Will Wade's suspension. The Tigers are a disciplined team that are playing great basketball, winning and covering 5 straight coming into today's matchup. Florida does not possess the offensive prowess to contend with LSU's, 81.6 PPG. The Favorite is 7-3-1 ATS the L11 meetings in this series. The Tigers are 19-7-2 ATS the L28 games played vs. SEC opponents and 16-5 ATS The L21 games played overall. Take LSU. Thank you.

Take Rhode Island.

This is my OM.

Game 799.

9:00 am pst.

These conference rivals split out 2 meetings this season. However, Rhode Island is much better at getting the bettors paid, covering 5 of the L6 matchups with VCU. VCU is a very good team but giving 8 points to a Rhode Island squad, which has won and covered 5 in a row coming into this contest, is a mistake. The line here should be closer to a +4 or a +5. Rhode Island is just as good on the boards and have a quartet of talented Guards. But most of all, they have Forward, Cyril Langevine, who is the nest big man on the court. Take Rhode Island. Thank you.

Take Florida State.

Game 708.

12:00 pm pst.

FSU only shot 37.9% in their 73-64 OT victory against V Tech just 9 days ago. That win was 4 straight in this series for the Seminoles (3-1 ATS). This is a healthy and very deep squad. Their depth is hey here as the team can rotate fresh players on the Hokies starting-5, who plays most of their minutes. Speaking of fresh, FSU had a few extra days to rest and prepare here. Virginia tech is 1-4 ATS the L5 games played vs. teams with a winning % of over .600. Take Florida State. Thank you.

Take Kansas State.

Game 724.

12:00 pm pst.

Then line here is way short. KSU should be closer to a -8 or a -9 point fav. Kamau Stokes left the last game with a migraine after playing 34 minutes and accounting for 19 points. The star Guard is most-likely playing here where the Wildcats will extend their domination of the Horned frogs, after beating them both meetings this season, and the L3 going back to last season (all covers). K State owns the #4 defense in the nation and enter this matchup going 18-7-1 ATS the L26 games vs. the Big 12, 4-0 ATS the L4 games played on neutral sites, and 12-3-1 ATS the L16 games played overall. Take the Wildcats. Thank you.

Take Indiana.

Game 713.

9:30 am pst.

Indiana is on-fire, winning 4 in a row both SU and ATS. Ohio State is ice-cold, dropping their L3 both SU and ATS and 6 of their L8 overall. Kaleb Wesson is expected to return here for the Buckeyes. But it is too little, too late. OSU is 1-4 ATS the L5 games vs. the Big Ten and 7-23 ATS the L30 games played on neutral sites. Take Indiana. Thank you.

Take Akron.

Game 697.

9:00 am pst.

This is basically a home game for Akron, which is a much different team when playing in Ohio. The Zips covered both meetings with the Buffaloes this season and the L3 overall. This is a squad that owns a top-20 defense in every major category and will slow down the Buffaloes. Akron is 8-2 ATS the L10 game vs. MAC foes and 7-1 ATS the L8 games vs. teams with a SU winning record. Buffalo is 0-4 ATS the L4 games vs. MAC opponents and 1-5 ATS the L6 games following an ATS loss. Take the Zips. Thank you.

Take Rhode Island.

Game 690.

9:00 am pst.

This is a small number to lay with a Rhode Island team that has taken 8 of the L9 meetings in this series SU and 8 of the L10 ATS. The Rams come in here red-hot, winning and covering their L4 outings. LaSalle is a Guard-oriented squad and have no one to match up with Forward, Cyril Langevine (14.6 PPG/9.9 RPG). The Explorers are 2-11 ATS the L13 games played on neutral sites. The Rams are 4-0 ATS the L4 games played vs. the A-10. Take Rhode Island. Thank you.

Take Depaul.

This is my CONTRARIAN PLAY.

Game 653.

6:30 pm pst.

The only reason the struggling, SJU team is a favorite here is because the game is being played at Madison Square Garden. The Red Storm lost and failed to cover their final 3 regular season contests as their defense has gotten trampled. Depaul won and covered both meetings this season with the deeper and more consistent squad. The underdog is 3-0-1 ATS the L4 meetings in this series. SJU is 4-10 ATS the L14 games played on neutral sites and 1-4 ATS the L5 games played vs. the Big East. Take Depaul. Thank you.

Take Providence.

This is my CRUSHER play.

Game 652.

4:00 pm pst.

In the L2 weeks, Providence won and covered 2 meetings with Butler, to give the team 7 wins and covers in the L9 overall matchups in this series. Guard, AJ Reeves is back on the floor and 100% healthy. The Friars have the depth to take down the Bulldogs, matching up well up front and in the back court. Butler is 1-4 ATS the L5 games played vs. the Big East. Take Providence. Thank you.

Take Rutgers.

This is my OM play.

Game 648.

3:30 pm pst.

They have the wrong team favored here as Rutgers should be the fav by a basket or so. Nebraska is a depleted team. Guard, Thomas Allen is doubtful here and will most-likely join, Amir Harris, Nana Akenten, Isaac Copeland Jr., Dachon Burke Jr., and Karrington Davis on the sidelines. Giving a Rutgers squad a basket here, which is riding a 7-1 ATS run, is  a mistake. The Scarlet Knights play a tighter "D" and own a better rebounding corps. Nebraska is 3-7 ATS the L10 games played on neutral sites, 3-11 ATS the L14 games played vs. the Big Ten, and 0-4 ATS the L4 games played following an ATS win. Rutgers is 6-1 ATS the L7 games played on neutral sites, 6-1-1 ATS the L8 games played vs. the Big Ten, and 4-1 ATS the L5 games played following a SU loss. Take the Scarlet Knights. Thank you.

Take Virginia Tech.

This is my LVSM.

Game 624.

11:30 am pst.

Virginia Tech won and covered both meetings against Miami this season, by 12 and 14 points. The Hokies own one of the best scoring defenses in the land (62.2 PPG allowed). But, the real mismatch here is between their 7th ranked, 3-point shooting "O" (39.8%) and the 209th ranked, 3-point "D" of the Hurricanes. Miami is 1-7 ATS the L8 vs. Virginia Tech. Virginia Tech is 4-0 ATS the L4 games played on neutral sites. Take the Hokies. Thank you.

Take Gonzaga.

This is my WCC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME WINNER.

Game 616.

6:00 pm pst.

Gonzaga is the #1 team in the country and won't do anything to jeopardize their ranking. So beating St. Mary's for the fourth consecutive matchup (won and covered L3) is key for the Bulldogs. They will get their seventh straight WCC Tourney Title here behind the #1 scoring team in college basketball (90.2 PPG). This is a healthy, well-coached, and motivated squad. They are 21-7 ATS the L28 meetings vs. the Gaels. The Gaels are 3-7 ATS the L10 games played on neutral sites. Take Gonzaga. Thank you.  

Take Sacramento.

This is my SLAM DUNK.

Game 523.

4:05 pm pst.

Washington took their second straight loss on Saturday, and play again tonight for their fourth time in 6 days. This is a tired team. The Wizards defense is ranked 29th in points allowed (27th or worse in every defensive category) and 28th vs. the '3". The Kings can score points, particularly from beyond the arc, where they rank 5th in the NBA, hitting over 27.5% from downtown. They took the first meeting this season, back in November, by dominating the boards. Now, without John Wall (achilles) on the floor for Washington, the Wizards are in real trouble. Sacramento is 4-1 ATS the L5 games played on the road, 29-10-1 ATS the L40 games played vs. the Eastern Conference, and 10-4-1 ATS the L15 games played overall. Take the Kings. Thank you.  

Take Phoenix.

This is my SLAM DUNK.

Game 517.

5:35 pm pst.

Golden State is the best team in the West. However, the Warriors are looking a bit tired and the oddsmakers haven't made adjustments to this. They are a mere, 3-12 ATS overall because their lines tend to be inflated . Phoenix is the worst team in the Western Conference. But, at the same token, oddsmakers tend to inflate the line against the Suns. The team has covered 4 straight and 5 of their L6. Phoenix can score points. This combined with the fact that the Golden State defense is lagging, urges me to take the 17 points here. The Warriors are 1-5 ATS the L6 vs. the West, 1-7 ATS the L8 on 1 days rest, and 7-19-1 ATS the L27 at home. Take the Suns. Thank you.

Take Memphis.

This is my POWERHOUSE PLAY.

game 510.

3:05 pm pst.

Memphis has covered their L4 coming into this matchup and their L5 straight as an underdog. Meanwhile, Orlando is on a 3-game ATS slide. Both lack the offensive prowess, however, both squads have tough defenses. The difference here is that the Magic are on the road and the Grizzlies are at home. The Home Team is 5-1 ATS the L6 meetings in this series. Memphis is 11-5 ATS the L16 at home vs. Orlando, 8-2 ATS the L10 overall at home, and 5-2 ATS the L7 on 1 days rest. Take the Grizzlies. Thank you.

Take Wisconsin.

This is my LVSM.
Game 843.

1:30 pm pst.

Ohio State has played their L2 games without team leading scorer, rebounder, and blocker, Forward, Kaleb Wesson. Both games were losses and no covers, dropping both by an average of 26.5 PPG. meanwhile, Big ten Player of the Year candidate, Wisconsin Forward, Ethan Happ (who leads the team in scoring, assists, rebounds, FG%, & steals) will put an exclamation point on the season here. The Buckeyes are 2-5 ATS the L7 vs. the Big ten and 5-13 ATS the L18 overall. Take the Badgers. Thank you.  

Take South Florida.

This is my AAC GOW.

Game 842.

1:00 pm pst.

South Florida, under 2nd year HC, Brian Gregory, is looking for their 20th win of the season. The Bulls have an outstanding defense and of the of the most well-balanced rebounding squads in the nation (26th offensively & 18th defensively), ranking 9th nationally, with a +7.3 RPG margin. SMU has called it quits for the season, on a 1-9 SU losing streak. The Mustangs are depleted, down to just 7 scholarship players and lack the depth to contend in this matchup. South Florida is 15-5 ATS the L20 following a SU win. SMU is 10-24-1 ATS the L35 vs. teams with a SU winning record. Take the Bulls. Thank you.

Take LSU.

This is my SEC GOW.

Game 702.

5:30 pm pst.

LSU will crush Vanderbilt. Not just because they can win their first SEC regular season title since 2009, but also because they are going to dedicate this big victory to their coach, Bill Wade, who was suspended on Friday. They play an 0-17 SEC doormat, Vandy team that has not won a game since December, is 2-5 ATS the L7 meetings in this series, and comes in here an overall, 19-42 ATS their L61 outings. Take the Tigers. Thank you.

Take UCF.

This is my DOW.

Game 665.

1:00 pm pst.

UCF is on-fire, winning 7 of their L8 SU, and all 8 ATS. They bested Temple, 78-73 at the beginning of January. The Knights have beaten the AAC's top-two teams their L2 outings and have something to prove in their regular season finale. A healthy squad, with a top-20 defense, and the superior rebounders will win this contest outright. UCF is 5-1-1 ATS the L7 meetings in this series. Take the Knights. Thank you.

Take Purdue.

This is my LVSM.

Game 641.

11:30 am pst.

Purdue needs a win here to secure their share of the Big Ten regular season title. Coming off a loss at Minnesota on Tuesday will certainly motivate the Boilermaker's, which have taken 5 in a row in this series SU. Northwestern is in "let down" mode here after getting off a 10-game slide and beating Ohio State on Wednesday. Guard, Carsen Edwards (23.4 PPG) will take this game over, get the big win, and earn the teams Conference title. The Road Team is 5-1 ATS the L6 meetings in this series. Take Purdue. Thank you.

Take Tennessee.

This is my CONSENSUS PLAY.

game 617.

9:00 am pst.

Tennessee needs this victory to stay with LSU as the SEC's top teams. This is a much better and more talented squad than Auburn. The Vols own a more potent offense, a tougher defense, and a better group of rebounders. Tennessee is 17-8 ATS the L25 road games. Auburn is 5-15-1 ATSA the L21 games vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600. Take the Volunteers. Thank you.

Take NIU.

This is my OM Play.

Game 855.

4:00 pm pst.

This line should be closer to a -1 or even a pick 'em. So, we must take 5 points with an NIU team looking for revenge from a 72-71, last second, early February loss to Ball State. Especially  now, as they go up against a Cardinals team that hasn't covered 6 straight coming onto tonight's matchup and are just, 3-13 ATS their L16 overall. The Huskies are 7-1-1 ATS the L9 at the Cardinals and 11-4-2 ATS the L17 overall vs. the Cardinals. Ball State is 18-39-1 ATS the L58 at home and 8-25 ATS the L33 vs. the MAC. Take NIU. Thank you.

Take Colorado.

This is my PAC 12 GOW.

Game 620.

6:00 pm pst.

Colorado has won and covered the L3 in this series, including an 11-point victory about a month ago. Now, UCLA has won their L3 coming into this matchup...but guys...those were all at home. The Bruins are atrocious on the road...at 3-8 ATS this season as a visitor. The Buffaloes have covered their L4 in Boulder. UCLA does have a bit more offensively but Colorado has a much stronger defense. The Bruins are banged-up, with a couple of players listed as questionable here and they are just 4-10 ATS the L14 overall road games. The Buffaloes are 6-2 ATS the L8 vs. the PAC 12. Take Colorado. Thank you.

Take Indiana.

This is my DOW.

Game 615.

5:00 pm pst.

Neither team is a powerhouse, however, Indiana has come on strong lately, covering four in a row, all against superior squads. They come in here coming off back-to-back, outright victories over Wisconsin and Michigan State. The Hoosiers took down the Fighting Illini, 73-65 at the beginning of January in Bloomington and have the talent and the momentum to do it again here in Champaign. Indiana is 6-1 ATS the L7 meetings in this series. Take the Hoosiers. Thank you.

Take Temple.

This is my CONSENSUS Play.

Game 603.

4:00 pm pst.

If UConn has a strength, it's playing at home. However, this is a team that hasn't strung together consecutive victories in 6 weeks. Temple shellacked them, 81-63 about a month ago. The Owls can better their Conference seeding with a win, but more importantly, must win to stay on the right side of the NCAA Tourney bubble. Take Temple. Thank you.

Take Iowa.

This is my BIG TEN GOW.

Game 605.

4:00 pm pst.

This is way too many points to give a very scrappy, Iowa team that lost the earlier meeting this season by 6 points, and won the two meetings prior to that. The Badgers can play defense, no doubt about that. However, their offense is nowhere to be found. They've got to put up some points to contend here. And I just don't see that happening. Not just that, but they are outmanned on the boards in this matchup. Wiscy Forward, Ethan Happ is one of the best in the country, but Iowa has a couple of very talented big men, they can rotate here. The Road Team is 4-1 ATS the L5 meetings in this series. The 'Dog is 9-4 ATS the L13 meetings in this series. The Hawkeyes are 4-1 ATS the L5 at the Badgers. Take the points here with Iowa. Thank you.

Take Baylor.

This is my CRUSHER.

Game 810.

6:00 pm pst.

Baylor sits at 19-10 overall and in 4th place in the Big 12, just a 1/2 GB of Kansas, who they play next. The Bears need to earn their 20th win here tonight to cement an NCAA Tourney bid. They have dominated the Cowboys, taking 7 in a row SU, going 6-1 ATS. Oklahoma State is about the worst team in the Conference (tied with West Virginia at 3-13 in Big 12 play). Their offense (or lack thereof) is going to be completely shut down against the swarming Baylor "D", that allows a mere, 66.3 PPG. Let's not forget the Bears, on both ends of the court, are tougher on the boards. The Cowboys are 2-9-1 ATS the L12 at the Bears, 3-7 ATS the L10 on the road, and 7-16 ATS the L23 overall. Take the Bears. Thank you.  

Take Clemson.

This is my LVSM.

Game 611.

6:00 pm pst.

Clemson needs to solidify their spot in the Big Dance, so the Tigers can not afford a loss here. What better team to face than Notre Dame, which is on a 5-game SU slide. The Irish were dominating this series until last season when the Tigers turned the tide in a 67-58 win and cover. Clemson will shut down Notre Dame offensively. The Tigers are 4-1 ATS the L5 on the road, 8-3 ATS the L11 vs. the ACC, and 8-3 ATS the L11 overall. The Fighting Irish are 8-20 ATS the L28 at home, 5-12 ATS the L17 vs. the ACC, and 5-12 ATS the L17 overall. Take Clemson. Thank you.

Take Detroit.

This is my POWERHOUSE.

Game 532.

4:05 pm pst.

This is a short number to lay for a Detroit team that has won and covered the L7 meetings in this series. The Pistons are red-hot coming into tonight's contest, winning 9 of their L11 SU, going 8-3 ATS. The offense has taken it up a notch and has Griffen and Drummond to compete with Towns. The Favorite is 9-3-1 ATS the L13 meetings in this series. Detroit is 5-0 ATS the L5 at home. Minnesota is 2-5 ATS the L7 vs. the Eastern Conference. Take the Pistons. Thank you.

Take VCU.

This is my LVSM.

Game 625.

4:30 pm pst.

VCU is red-hot, winning 10 in a row SU and 10 of their L13 ATS. The Rams spanked the Patriots, 79-63, about 5 weeks ago. GMU has covered just 2 of their L9 outings and will be completely shut down here as they face the 12th ranked scoring defense in the nation (62.0 PPG allowed). The very healthy, VCU team needs this win to ensure the A-10 title. The Rams are 5-2 ATS the L7 at the Patriots, 4-1 ATS the L5 on the road, and 8-2 ATS the L10 vs. the A-10. The Patriots are 1-1-4 ATS the L6 overall vs. the Rams, 2-5 ATS the L7 at home, and 1-4 ATS the L5 vs. the A-10. Take VCU. Thank you.

Take Marquette.

This is my CRUSHER.

Game 824.

12:00 pm pst.

Marquette can win their first ever Big East title with victories in their final 3 contests, all against teams they have beaten already. They come in here facing a team they have dominated, winning and covering the L6 in this series. Following Wednesday's loss to Villanova , expect this squad to come in here fired up and motivated. Creighton has no defense whatsoever.  The Blazers can not stop (or even slow down) the Marquette offense. The best player on the floor is Golden Eagle's standout, Markus Howard (25.2 PPG). The Guard will take this game over. Marquette is 8-3 ATS the L11 vs. the Big East, 8-3 ATS the L11 at home, and 14-5 ATS the L19 overall. Take the Golden Eagles. Thank you.

Take Depaul.

This is my LVSM.

Game 812.

9:00 am pst.

Depaul has won 2 of the L3 meetings SU and covered all 3 ATS in this series. SJU has trouble when facing teams with size . Depaul has size. This game will be won on the boards, where the Blue Demons have a bug edge over the Red Storm. The underdog is 10-3 ATS the L13 meetings in this series. St. Johns is 1-4 ATS the L5 at Depaul and 3-9 ATS the l12 overall vs. Depaul. Take the Blue Demons. Thank you.  

Take Nevada.

This is my MWC GOW.

game 735.

5:30 pm pst.

A win here and Nevada would earn at least a share of their 3rd straight MWC regular season title. The Wolfpack have won and covered 5 on a row over the Aggies, including a 72-49 beat down on January 2nd in which USU had no answer for Nevada standout, Jordan Caroline who lit them up for 15 points and 12 rebounds. The Wolfpack rotate 6 strong Forward's, who can all crash the boards and score points. Nevada is 12-5 ATS the L17 on the road. USU is 2-7 ATS the L9 vs. teams with a SU winning record. Take the Wolfpack. Thank you.

Take Central Michigan.

This is my CONSENSUS PLAY.

Game 696.

1:30 pm pst.

With a win here, CMU can put themselves in a tie for the MAC WEST with Toledo. The Rockets are a good team but the Chippewas have revenge-mode on their side after missing too many short range shots in a 4-point loss and cover at the end of January. The Chippies are red-hot, riding both a 4-game SU and a 10-game ATS streaks. They are 18-7-2 ATS the L27 vs. the MAC, 4-0 ATS the L4 at home, and 13-3 ATS the L16 overall. Take CMU. Thank you.

Take Drake.

This is my LVSM.

Game 601.

1:00 pm pst.

Getting several baskets with a Drake team that has taken the L3 SU in this series and the L6 ATS, including a late-January, 74-63 win, is a gift. Missouri State is in a 3-game ATS slide and has failed to cover 6 of their L9. The Bulldogs are one of the most-profitable teams in the nation this season, sporting a 21-7 ATS mark. Forward, Nick McGlynn (15.4 PPG/8.4 RPG) is the best player on the floor. Take Drake. Thank you.

Take Virginia.

This is my CRUSHER play.

Game 642.

11:00 am pst.

2nd ranked Virginia, is tied with UNC (13-2) in the Conference. The Cavaliers are looking for their 2nd straight ACC regular season title and their 4th in 6 years. They have taken the L3 meetings in this series (7-1 L8 SU and ATS), by an average of 22.0 PPG. They own the #2 defense in the nation and will completely shut down the already-challenged Pitt offense. But the biggest disparity is putting one of the best outside shooting (7th at 39.6%) squads up against the 110th ranked perimeter "D". The trio of DD-scoring Guards, Hunter, Guy, and Jerome (43.3 PPG combined) will control the floor here. The Panthers are 0-6 ATS the L6 on the road, 0-10-1 ATS the L11 vs. the ACC, and 0-10-1 ATS the L11 overall. Take the Cavaliers. Thank you.

Take Milwaukee.

This is my POWERHOUSE.

Game 553.

7:35 pm pst.

Milwaukee is on a 9-game SU road win streak. So pay no mind to recent home wins over Houston and New Orleans for Los Angeles. Giannis averaged 30.0 PPG and 15.5 RPG in last season's sweep of the Lakers. LeBron James is having issues with HC, Luke Walton and his teammates. The Lakers just don't have the talent or the chemistry to compete with the NBA's #2 scoring offense and the League's #2 defense in FG%. Los Angeles is 6-19-1 ATS the L26 vs. the Eastern Conference. Milwaukee is 15-5-2 ATS the L22 on the road. Take the Bucks. Thank you.

Take Oregon State.

This is my HR.

Game 644.

6:00 pm pst.

This is a strong play, guys. Oregon State is a better team all around, is playing hotter, and possess the best player on the floor in Tres Tinkle (19.8 PPG/8.2 RPG). The Home Team is 9-3 ATS the L12 meetings in this series. The Wildcats are 2-7 ATS the L9 vs. the PAC 12 and 0-5 ATS the L5 on the road. The Beavers are 14-5 ATS the L19 vs. the PAC 12 and 11-4 ATS the L15 overall. Take OSU. Thank you.

Take Cleveland.

This is my SLAM DUNK.

Game 533.

4:35 pm pst.

In a matchup of 2 of the poorest teams in basketball, we must side with the Cav's, who have won and covered both meetings this season. Don't put too much emphasis on the Knicks' biggest win streak (2 games) since late November. Kevin Love is back on the floor and playing well. Take Cleveland who are also 4-1 ATS the L5 at the Garden. Take the Cavs. Thank you.

Take Wichita State.

This is my BB.

Game 608.

4:00 pm pst.

Connecticut shellacked Wichita State, 80-60 one month ago. But these are two very different teams right now. The Huskies are on a 5-game SU skid while the Shockers are 5-2 SU and 6-1 ATS since that 20-point loss. UConn is horrible on the road at 0-7 SU this season and 4-12 ATS their L16 overall as a visitor.  Take Wichita State. Thank you.

Take Louisville.

This is my LVSM.

Game 825.

6:00 pm pst.

Short price to lay with a Louisville team that has had their way with Boston College (taking 5 in a row SU), and needing every win they can get right now. The Cardinals are 7-4 ATS away from home this season, while the Eagles own a 5-10 ATS home mark. BC is just 3-8 ATS the L11 overall at the Conte Forum. Take Louisville. Thank you.

Take Central Florida.

This is my CRUSHER play.

Game 783.

4:00 pm pst.

UCF is 3 GB Houston in the AAC and must win all 4 remaining contests to vie for the Conference's top spot. The Knights have taken the L10 meetings in this series SU, going 8-2 ATS, including a 13-point win and cover 2 weeks ago. Both teams play solid defense but UCF is 100% healthy, consisting of better scorers and 4 solid boardsmen. The Knights are 5-0 ATS the L5 vs. the AAC and 5-0 ATS the L5 overall. The Bulls are 0-4 ATS the L4 vs. the AAC and 0-4 ATS the L4 overall. Take Central Florida. Thank you.

Take Maryland.

This is my BLUE CHIP.

Game 781.

3:30 pm pst.

Laying under a basket with a Big Dance bound team, which needs every win they can get right now, against a team that will not get a Tourney invite, is a solid play. Maryland owns a ferocious defense and a top-20 rebounding corps on both sides of the court. The Terrapins are 8-3 ATS the L11 on the road. The Nittany Lions are 3-8 ATS the L11 at home. Take Maryland. Thank you.

Take San Diego State.

this is my MWC GOM.

Game 643.

6:30 pm pst.

Since Utah State has moved to the MWC, San Diego State has taken all 10 meetings SU, going 9-1 ATS, including a 68-63 win and cover less than 3 weeks ago. Both teams are talented, but giving almost DD"s to the Aztecs is a mistake. SD State is 19-7 ATS the L26 vs. the MWC and 5-0 ATS the L5 overall. USU is 1-7 ATS the L8 vs. teams with a SU winning record and 0-5 ATS the L5 vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600. Take the Aztecs. Thank you.

Take Iowa.

This is my OM play.

Game 611.

4:00 pm pst.

This line should be closer to a pick 'em. Iowa took down Ohio State, 72-62, back on January 12th. The Hawkeyes staring-5 all average DD's and are too much offensively for the Buckeyes. Forward, Tyler Cook (16.0 PPG/8.0 RPG) is the best player on the floor. Ohio State is 4-10 ATS the L14 vs. the Big Ten, 2-6 ATS the L8 at home, and 4-11 ATS the L15 overall. Take Iowa. Thank you.

Take Toledo.

This is my 'DOG OUTRIGHT WINNER.

Game 617.

4:00 pm pst.

Toledo should  be a slight favorite here but oddsmakers are putting too much emphasis on the fact that Ball State has won the L5 in this series. But this is a different Rockets team, that is 9-3 SU since the last meetings with the Cardinals. Toledo is a talented, 100% healthy squad with 6 players averaging 9.1 PPG or better, including 2 monster rebounders in big men, Knapke and Jackson. The underdog is 12-3 ATS the L15 meetings in this series. Ball State is 8-22 ATS the L30 vs. the MAC, 18-38-1 ATS the L57 at home, and 2-7 ATS the L9 overall. Take Toledo. Thank you.
