Take Mississippi State.

This is my LAY UP PLAY.

Game 779.

6:30 pm pst.

Mississippi State has a deep, talented roster of scorers, along with solid rebounders. the Bulldogs play a tight, frustrating, defense as well. They took down the Cornhuskers, Bears, and Cardinals to get to the Semifinals. Penn State is good but just doesn't have the horses to run here. Case in point, closing the regular-season out with 3 straight losses to Purdue, Michigan, and Nebraska. The Nittany Lions are 0-4 ATS their L4 games played vs. the SEC. The Bulldogs are 9-1 ATS their L10 games played vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600, 5-1-1 ATS their L7 games played on neutral sites, and 12-3-1 ATS their L16 games played overall. Take Mississippi State. Thank you.

Take Western Kentucky.

This is my NIT GOY.

Game 777.

4:00 pm pst.

Western Kentucky has crushed opponents in NIT play, beating a very good, Boston College team by 17, then taking victories over USC and Oklahoma State, both as an underdog. To get here, Utah bested a UC Davis team that was without their top-scorer, an inconsistent LSU squad, and a very flat St. Mary's in OT. The Hilltoppers played the Wildcats tough, beat Boilermakers, Mustangs, Badgers, and Monarchs this season. They've played and beat better competition than did the Utes. They have 5 DD scorers, with a trio of back court studs, and 2 big, strong Forward's, in Johnson and Coleby (26.5 PPG/17.1 RPG combined) to overpower Utah's, Colette and Rawson. Western Kentucky is 42-19 ATS their L61 games played on neutral sites, 4-0 ATS their L4 non-Conference games, and 5-1 ATS their L6 games played overall. Take the Hilltoppers. Thank you.

Take Duke.

Game 721.

2:05 pm pst.

Duke possesses a far superior group of big men that will win the battle of the boards here. The Blue Devils also own a very frustrating defense, both inside and on the perimeter. Kansas hasn't faced a team of this caliber. Granted, the Jayhawks beat the Wildcats and the Orange. But, those contests occurred in the first month of the season when both Kentucky and Syracuse were struggling. Coach "K" has the most NCAA wins and the most Tournament wins. This time of year, coaching truly does play a factor. Duke is 8-3 ATS their L11 games played vs. the Big 12, 10-4 ATS their L14 NCAA Tournament games, and 9-3 ATS their L12 games played overall. Take the Blue Devils. Thank you.

Take Villanova.

This is my LAY UP PLAY.

Game 720.

11:20 am pst.

While Texas Tech is known to have a good defense in Big 12 play, the Conference isn't known for their offensive prowess. The Red Raiders played 2 solid, non-Conference opponents this season, allowing the Pirates to score 89 points and the Wolfpack to post 76 points (2 of their 5 worst defensive performances TY). Villanova can do quite a few things very well, and one of them is, score. They own the #1 scoring team in the nation (87.0 PPG), #5 in FG% (50.3%), and #10 in both 3-point shooting (40.5%) and FT% (77.7%). Texas Tech just doesn't have the offense here. The Red Raiders are 0-4 ATS their L4 vs. the Big East, 2-5-1 ATS their L8 vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600, and 2-7-1 ATS their L10 overall. The Wildcats are 4-1ATS their L5 vs. the Big 12, 9-2 ATS their L11 NCAA Tournament games, and 51-21-1 ATS their L53 non-Conference games. Take Villanova. Thank you.

Take Michigan.

This is my Slam Dunk.

Game 516.

5:45 pm pst.

Michigan is striding right now as the Wolverines have won 12 in a row SU, going 10-2 ATS. With all respect to Florida State, they lost to Louisville in the Conference Tournament, played an undersized, Missouri team, played a top-seeded, Xavier squad missing one of their best players, and played Gonzaga, who has been flat the entire Big Dance. Michigan plays a much tighter "D" and shoots better from beyond the arc. The Seminoles are 4-10 ATS their L14 games played vs. Big Ten opponents and 2-5 ATS their L7 games played following a SU win. The Wolverines are 35-17-2 ATS their L55 games played on neutral sites and 34-16-2 ATS their L52 games played overall. Take Michigan. Thank you.

Take Syracuse.

This is my CONTRARIAN PLAY.

Game 875.

6:35 pm pst.

Syracuse owns the tallest starting-5 in the nation. Since a 3-game skid (in which they lost to Duke) they have rattled off a 5-1 mark, both SU and ATS, with outright victories over Clemson, Arizona State, TCU, and Michigan State. Holding each to 56 or less points. In the earlier matchup, the Orange shot just 31% from the field and were a mere, 6 of 25 from beyond the arc, with their top-3 scorers (Battle, Brissett, and Howard) combining for a season-worst, 10 of 39. That won't happen again. Their 10th ranked, stifling defense (63.6 PPG Allowed) isn't just stellar from the field (39.1%), but also from downtown (32.1%). Syracuse is 7-1 ATS their L8 NCAA Tournament games, 7-3 ATS their L10 games played as an underdog, and 5-1 ATS their L6 neutral site games. Take the Orange. Thank you.  

Take Villanova.

This is my SLAM DUNK play.

Game 872.

4:25 pm pst.

West Virginia had to beat 12th seeded, Murray State, and 13th seeded, Marshall to get here. Well, #1 seed, Villanova is a whole other story. Top-tier teams like Kansas (who beat West Virginia all 3 times) and Kentucky (who beat them too), are comparable to Villanova. The Wildcats are the top-scoring team in the nation, averaging 86.9 PPG. They have 5 DD scorers and 4 monster rebounders. But the biggest advantage for UK, is that they are deadly from 3-point range, ranking 12th, and hitting over 40.2% from beyond the arc. The Mountaineers defense will have enough problems as it is, but they are 311th at defending the "3", yielding over 37.5% from downtown. West Virginia is 3-8 ATS their L11 games played vs. the Big East while Villanova is 8-2 ATS their L10 NCAA Tournament games. Take the Wildcats. Thank you.

Take Kansas.

This is my LAS VEGAS STRIP MOVE.

Game 878.

4:05 pm pst.

To get here, Clemson beat a WAC team with a 1st year HC and an Auburn squad without one of their top players. This is a team that is just 5-5 SU their L10 games (going 5-4 ATS their L9). A 100% healthy Kansas squad is on a 10-1 SU run (going 7-3 ATS their L10). The Tigers are going to miss their #2 scorer and rebounder, Donte Grantham very badly here. Especially now that 7'0", 280 lb. Center, Udoka Azuike (played 22 minutes and had 10 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists vs. Seton Hall) is back and will be getting more playing time here. The Clemson "D" is facing their toughest offensive opponent in a while here as Kansas has 5 DD scoring starters. The Tigers are 0-4 ATS their L4 vs. Big 12 opponents. The Jayhawks are 5-1 ATS their L6 vs. ACC foes, 8-1-1 ATS their L10 games played vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600, and 7-3 ATS their L10 NCAA Tournament games. Take Kansas. Thank you.

Take Gonzaga.

This is my LAY UP PLAY.

Game 820.

7;05 pm pst.

With all respect to FSU, this is a team that closed the regular-season out at 4-5 SU and 2-7 ATS. Then they lost to Louisville in the Conference Tournament, 82-74. they then played an undersized, Missouri team that was without their 2nd best player. Then they ousted the #1 seed, Xavier, whose best player got into foul trouble and sat on the bench several times, which happened to coincide with the Seminoles' 2 deep runs. Gonzaga has been itching to get back to the Big Dance since losing LY's Finals. This is a team that took down Texas, Ohio State (twice), and Creighton. Went to OT with Florida. And whose only bad loss was to Villanova. The Bulldogs are a deep, sharp-shooting, team that rebounds like monsters, and play a very frustrating defense. The Seminoles are 2-5 ATS their L7 NCAA Tourney games, 2-5 ATS their L7 games played vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600, and 3-7 ATS their L10 games played overall. Take Gonzaga. Thank you.  

Take Kentucky.

This is my TEN DIMES PLAY.

Game 814.

6:35 pm pst.

Kentucky is playing their best basketball of the season right now. Since their worst skid in nearly a decade, the Wildcats are 9-1, both SU and ATS. They just have too many weapons and are too strong, both offensively and on the boards for K State. UK is a team that possesses a ton of talent and is deep with big, strong Forward's. Six players average over 4.1 RPG. They hold a 9-0 SU lead in the all-time series, while Kentucky is 6-0 in Sweet 16 action under Coach Calipari, winning by an average of 14.5 PPG. Kansas State is 2-6 ATS their L8 games played on neutral sites, 1-5 ATS their L6 non-Conference games, and 2-5 ATS their L7 NCAA Tourney games. Kentucky is 31-15-5 ATS their L51 games played on neutral sites, 4-0 ATS their L4 non-Conference games, and 6-1 ATS their L7 games played vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600. Take Kentucky. Thank you.

Take Western Kentucky.

This is my LAY UP PLAY.

Game 765.

5:00 pm pst.

Not only has Western Kentucky played some very good basketball, they are getting the bettors paid, going 4-1, both SU and ATS this post-season. The Hilltoppers are no strangers to playing well against strong no-Conference opponents, as they played the Wildcats tough and beat the Boilermakers, and just came off a solid win over the Trojans. They have a big, strong front court and a trio of talented back court studs to compete in this matchup. Western Kentucky is 10-2 ATS their L14 non-Conference games and 9-4 ATS their L13 road games. Take the Hilltoppers. Thank you.

Take Mississippi State.

This is my CONSENSUS PLAY.

Game 667.

6:00 pm pst.

Mississippi State had a lot tougher of a journey to get to the Quarter Finals, than did Louisville. The Bulldogs took down the Cornhuskers and the Bears, while the Cardinals bested the Norse and a Blue Raiders team that played a very "off" game. Mississippi State has depth, size, and a very talented back court. The Bulldogs are 6-1 ATS their L7 games played on the road, 8-1 ATS their L9 games played vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600, and 7-2 ATS their L9 games played following a SU win. Take Mississippi State. Thank you.

Take Penn State.

This is my LAY UP.

Game 665.

4:00 pm pst.

We have seen Marquette's defense break down often this season. Granted, they can score points, but against the Penn State, frustrating "D", this game is going to come to be a close one. The Nittany Lions also possess the tougher rebounding corps. PSU is 6-0-1 ATS their L7 games played vs. Big East opponents, 7-1 ATS their L8 games played on the road, and 4-1 ATS their L5 games played overall. Take the Nittany Lions.

Take Xavier.

This is my LVSM.

Game 720.

5:40 pm pst.

Xavier, at 29-5, need 1 more win to tie their school record for a season. The Musketeers possess a monster offense, posting 84.8 PPG, with 6 players each averaging over 4.5 RPG. This is going to be a physical game, which definitely favors the "X-Men," as they hit a whopping, 78.5% from the line, a solid 10% more than FSU (68.0%). The Seminoles are 1-5 ATS their L6 NCAA Tourney games and 2-7 ATS their L9 games played overall. The Musketeers are 24-6-2 ATS their L32 NCAA Tourney games and 20-7-1 ATS their L28 games played on neutral sites. Take Xavier. Thank you.

Take Syracuse.

This is my CONTRARIAN play.

Game 715.

11:40 am pst.

While there's no debating MSU's success, but as a fan favorite, the oddsmakers give the Spartans a bit too much credit here. They are 0-3 ATS this post-season, and have covered just 4 of their L18 games, going back to the beginning of January. Syracuse has a stifling defense, allowing a mere, 63.9 PPG on 39.6% shooting. Their starting-5 are 6'6", 6'8", 6'5", 6'9", and 7'2", with 2 more Forward's rotating in significant playing time, who happen to be 6'8" and 6'10". The Orange are 4-0 ATS the L4 meetings in this series, 6-1 ATS their L7 NCAA Tourney games, and 5-2 ATS their L7 games played vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600. Take Syracuse. Thank you.

Take Purdue.

This is my OM play.

Game 714.

9:10 am pst.

This line should be closer to Purdue -8 but the oddsmakers have put too much stock in the absence of Isaac Haas. The Center only averages 23 MPG and was on the floor for just 16 minutes in the December 16th, 82-67 Purdue win and cover over Butler. The Boilermakers average over 80.9 PPG, shoot 49.4% from the floor, and rank 2nd in the nation in 3-pointers, at 42% from beyond the arc. The Bulldogs aren't known for their defense, especially from the perimeter, where they rank 295th, allowing opponents to make 37%. Purdue plays a swarming "D", yielding a mere, 65.1 PPG. Butler is 4-6 SU and 3-7 ATS their L10 overall while Purdue is 6-2 ATS their L8 NCAA Tourney games and 35-16 ATS their L51 non-Conference games. Take the Boilermakers. Thank you.

Take Gonzaga.

This is my LAY UP play.

Game 536.

4:45 pm pst.

Gonzaga thumped Ohio State, 86-59, back in November. The Bulldogs have the muscle in the paint and the accuracy on the perimeter to once again overwhelm the Buckeyes. Ohio State is 5-22 ATS their L27 games played on neutral sites, 0-4 ATS their L4 games played vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600, 0-7 ATS their L7 NCAA Tourney games, and 1-5 ATS their L6 games played overall. Take Gonzaga. Thank you.

Take Kansas.

This is my CONSENSUS play.

Game 528.

4:10 pm pst.

In front of a friendly, Wichita crowd, Kansas will take their 4-game win and cover streak against a Seton Hall team that was ousted the L2 opening rounds. The Jayhawks possess an accurate shooting squad that hits 49.6% from the floor and over 40.3% beyond the arc. The Pirates are "soft" on the perimeter and are just 1-4 ATS their L5 NCAA Tourney games. Kansas is 20-8 ATS their L28 games played on neutral sites, 4-0 ATS their L4 non-Conference games, 8-0-1 ATS their L9 games played vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600, and 4-1 ATS their L5 NCAA Tourney games. Take the Jayhawks. Thank you.

Take Kentucky.

This is my TEN DIMES play.

Game 538.

2:15 pm pst.

Buffalo is in a "let-down" spot here, after Thursday's Opening Round surprise win over Arizona, as an 8.5-point 'dog. The Bulls stepped up in class this season against the Bearcats, the Bonnies, the Orange, and the Aggies, losing to each. Kentucky is 4-0, both SU and ATS, this post-season, and bring a deep, talented roster, loaded with playmakers and muscle. The Wildcat's are 5-1 ATS their L6 non-Conference games and 16-5-2 ATS their L23 games played on neutral sites. Take Kentucky. Thank you.

Take Villanova.

This is my Early Game winner.

Game 526.

9:10 am pst.

Villanova is looking to avenge their early exit from LY's Big Dance. They crushed Radford, 87-61, in the opening round. The Wildcat's lead the nation in scoring, averaging 87.1 PPG, as they are equally dangerous from both the key and the perimeter. Alabama doesn't match up well here. Outside of Collin Sexton, the Crimson Tide pale in comparison against the Wildcats 4 DD scoring Guards. Alabama is 0-4 ATS their L4 games vs. Big East opponents. Villanova is 7-1 ATS their L8 games played on neutral sites, 7-2 ATS their L9 NCAA Tourney games, and 49-21-1 ATS their L71 non-Conference games. Take the Wildcats. Thank you.

Take New Mexico State.

This is my POWERHOUSE.

Game 841.

6:55 pm pst.

Losing Donte Grantham, Clemson's 2nd leading scorer and rebounder, has hurt the team. Their FG% is down over 10% from the floor in his absence. The Tigers rely upon the "3" and face the nations 10th ranked 3-pt defense (30.8%). As a matter of fact, New Mexico State also ranks 10th in PPG Allowed (63.8) and 5th in FG% Allowed (39.2%). All this and the Aggies own one of the best rebounding squads in the nation and will dominate the glass here. There is going to be a lot more friendly faces in the crowd for them as this game is in San Diego. The Tigers are 1-4 ATS their L5 following a SU loss and 1-4 ATS their L5 NCAA Tourney games. The Aggies are 7-3 ATS their L10 vs. teams with a SU winning record and 5-2 ATS their L7 neutral site games. Take New Mexico State. Thank you.

Take Nevada.

This is my LAY UP.

Game 830.

1:30 pm pst.

6'11" Forward, Mo Bamba is dealing with a toe injury that limited him to just 14 minutes in Texas' last game. Nevada's Forward's, Caleb and Cody martin (32.7 PPG and 11.6 RPG combined) will double-team the only healthy big man for the Longhorns, Ostetkowski. 6'7" Guard/Forward, Caroline (17.9 PPG and 8.8 RPG) will be the "X" factor here/ The Wolf Pack are deadly from beyond the arc (39.8%) as well. Texas is 0-4 ATS their L4 vs. the MWC and 0-8 ATS their L8 NCAA Tourney games. Nevada is 17-3-1 ATS their L21 following a SU loss and 33-15-4 ATS their L52 vs. teams with a SU winning record. Take the Wolf Pack. Thank you.

Take North Carolina.

This is my SLAM DUNK.

Game 820.

11:45 am pst.

Lipscomb stepped up in class 4 times this season, losing by 22 to Alabama, 23 to Texas, 10 to Tennessee, and 33 to Purdue. Pay no mind to the 10-point loss to the Vols as Tennessee had North Carolina on deck and was looking ahead. The Bisons have defensive issues, ranking 294th, and getting burned for over 77.5 PPG. LY's National Champion, North Carolina ranks 1st nationally on the offensive boards and posts a whopping, 82.0 PPG. They have no problem lighting up lesser foes, as they routed Texas Southern, 103-64, in the Round of 64 in LY's Big Dance. Lipscomb also comes in here rusty, having not played since March 4th. The Tar Heels are 7-3-1 ATS their L11 NCAA Tourney games, 12-4-2 ATS their L18 games following an ATS loss, and 4-1 ATS their L5 non-Conference games. Take North Carolina. Thank you.

Take St. Bonaventure.

This is my LATE INFO.

Game 739.

6:15 pm pst.

Florida lives and dies with the 3-pointer. However, St. Bonny's matches up well here as they own one of the toughest perimeter defenses in the country. The Gators back court controls their tempo, but once again, the Bonnies counter with one of the best back court tandems in college basketball, in Guards, Adams and Mobley (37.8 PPG & 8.5 RPG combined). The front court will be dominated by Forward's, Stockard and Griffin (22.1 PPG and 12.7 RPG combined). Florida is 2-5 ATS their L7 non-Conference games while St. Bonaventure is 5-2 ATS their L7 non-Conference games. Take the Bonnies. Thank you.

Take Villanova.

This is my Consensus play.

Game 720.

3:50 pm pst.

The #1 scoring team in the nation is 100% healthy and will want to go into the next round not being flat or stale. Villanova has waited 12 months to avenge an early exit from LY's Big Dance. Radford is known for defense. But, that is in the Big South. This is a team that allowed Ohio State to put up 82 and Virginia tech to post 95. The Wildcats are 6-2 ATS their L8 NCAA Tourney games, 48-21-1 ATS their L70 non-Conference games, and 6-1 ATS their L7 neutral site games. Take Villanova. Thank you.

Take Kansas.

This is my TEN DIMES.

Game 728.

11:00 am pst.

In front of a friendly, Wichita crowd, Kansas will see the return of 7'0", 280 lb, Udoka Azobuike. The Center was sidelined the l3 games...all wins and covers over such strong teams as Oklahoma State, Kansas State, and West Virginia. Penn, who is strong in the Ivy League, played Villanova, back in November, and got crushed, 90-62. Bill Self's squad has won and covered the L4 in the Round of 64. The Quakers are 1-3-1 ATS their L5 games played vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600, 1-4 ATS their L5 games played vs. the Big 12, and 1-5 ATS their L6 NCAA Tournament games. The Jayhawks are 7-0-1 ATS their L8 games played vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600, 5-2 ATS their L7 games played vs. the Ivy League, and 6-2 ATS their L8 NCAA Tournament games. Take Kansas. Thank you.

Take Syracuse.

This is my LVSM.

Game 612.

6:10 pm pst.

Syracuse faces much tougher opponents and has a far superior coach. The Orange possess one of the best defenses in the nation, yielding a mere, 64.5 PPG and are monsters on the boards. The matchup heavily favors the 'Cuse here. Syracuse is 4-1 ATS their L5 NCAA Tournament games while ASU is 10-26 ATS their L36 on neutral sites, 1-7-2 ATS their L10 vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600, and 1-5 ATS their L6 overall. Take the Orange. Thank you.  

Take Baylor.

This is my NIT OPENING ROUND GOY.

Game 550.

4:00 pm pst.

Baylor, the #1 seed in the NIT, comes in here pissed-off, having not made the NCAA Tournament. The Bears started the season showing no mercy for lesser teams, as they shellacked Central Arkansas, Texas A&M CC, and Alcorn State, winning those by an average of 27.3 PPG. Wagner stepped-up in class 3 times this season, losing to Missouri by 44, Seton Hall by 21, and Dayton by 12. The Bears are in front of a friendly, home crowd in Waco, where they went 14-4 SU and 7-4 ATS. The Seahawks are 1-4 ATS their L5 non-Conference games. Take Baylor. Thank you.

Take Kentucky.

This is my LVSM.

Game 823.

10:00 am pst.

Kentucky is playing their best basketball of the season right now.  Coach Calipari is outstanding when it comes to preparing his team this time of year as the Wildcats go for their 4th straight SEC Tournament Title. It's tough enough to beat Coach "C" and his squad twice in a season, but three times is damn near impossible. Since ending their worst skid in nearly a decade, Kentucky 6-1, both SU and ATS. Both teams start 2 Forward's and 3 Guard's and matchup up well with each other. This game comes down to post-season experience and coaching. So we MUST side with the Wildcats who are 5-1-2 ATS their L8 games played on neutral sites, 6-1 ATS their L7 games played vs. SEC foes, and 5-1ATS their L6 games played vs. teams with a SU winning record. Take Kentucky. Thank you.

Take UNC.

Game 539.

5:30 pm pst

The Guard-rich, Cavaliers deserve their top-ranking. However, the Tar Heels have a trio of Guards along with one of the best frontcourts in the nation. They rank #1 on the offensive boards, which has allowed the team to put up, 82.5 PPG. Virginia offensively, won't be able to keep up, score-for-score with the high-flying North Carolina "O". The Tar Heels are 8-3 ATS overall while the Cavaliers are 2-5 ATS their L7 following a SU win. Take North Carolina. Thank you.

Take St. Bonaventure.

This is my OM Move.

Game 522.

12:30 pm pst.

St. Bonny should be a favorite of 5-6 points here. The Bonnies continue to win, riding a 13-game SU streak. They own the better back court of Adams and Mobley (38.3 PPG combined) and have 2 powerful Forward's in Stockard and Griffen, who will double-team the Wildcats top offensive threat, Aldridge. St. Bonaventure is 5-2 ATS their L7 vs. A 10 opponents and 17-8 ATS their L25 on neutral sites. Take the Bonnies. Thank you.

Take Arkansas.

This is my Lay Up Play.

Game 555. 12:30 pm pst.

Arkansas has taken 5 straight meetings over Tennessee and enter this contest riding a 7-2-1 ATS run. Tennessee comes off a hard-fought, 3-pt win over Mississippi State yesterday and won't have the legs to compete with Arkansas' speed and scoring prowess. The Underdog is 15-6 ATS the L21 meetings in this series. The Razorbacks are 4-1 ATS the L5 vs. the Vols. Take Arkansas. Thank you.

Take Houston.

This is my 'Dog Outright Winner.

Game 517.

12:30 pm pst.

Wichita State has been crushing bettors, failing to cover 5 straight. The red-hot, Houston team is 9-1 SU their L10, going 8-2 ATS. The Cougars' stifling "D" will frustrate the Shockers. Not to mention UH is just about the only team in the Conference that match up with WSU on the boards. Take Houston. Thank you.

Take Kentucky.
This is my LVSM.

Game 524.

10:00 am pst.

Alabama is in a "let-down" spot here after beating top-seeded, Auburn yesterday. Kentucky is 5-1, both SU and ATS since experiencing their worst skid in nearly a decade. This is the time of year when Coach Calipari has his squad prepared and ready to roll. Forward's, Knox and Washington take this game on their shoulders. The Crimson Tide are 1-5 ATS their L6 on neutral sites while the Wildcats are 5-1 ATS their L6 vs. the SEC. Take Kentucky. Thank you.

Take ULL.

Game 512.

9:30 am pst.

In front of a friendly, home-state crowd, ULL will advance to the Conference Finals. The Ragin' Cajuns have taken the L3 over the Mavericks, both SU and ATS, outrebounding them each time. ULL owns an explosive offense and a dominating rebounding corps on both ends of the court. The Ragin' Cajuns are 6-1 ATS their L7 vs. the Mavericks, 19-7 ATS their L26 vs. the Sun Belt, and 14-5 ATS their L19 overall. Take ULL. Thank you.

Take Xavier.

This is my TEN DIMES.

Game 858.

3:30 pm pst.

Xavier is playing their best ball of the season right now, rattling off 13 SU wins over their L14 outings, with an 88-60 thumping over SJU yesterday. The "Forward-rich" Musketeers will utilize their strength and take advantage of the Friars major weakness, their lack of power in the paint and on the glass. Xavier is 20-6 ATS their L26 games played on neutral sites, 20-9 ATS their L29 games played vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600, and 28-12 ATS their L40 games played overall. Take the Musketeers. Thank you.  

Take Toledo.

This is my MAC GOM.

Game 690.

3:30 pm pst.

Toledo has dominated Miami-Oh, winning 9 in a row SU in this series, going 7-2 ATS, including 4 straight wins and covers. The Rockets come in fresh having had 3 extra days off to rest and prepare. The back court tandem of Fletcher and Sanford (35.0 PPG/11.7 RPG) are too talented for the Red Hawks Guards. Miami-Ohio is 1-9 ATS their L10 games on neutral sites while Toledo is 13-4 ATS their L17 games on neutral sites. Take the Rockets. Thank you.

Take Nevada.

This is my LVSM.

Game 718.

12:00 pm pst.

UNLV will have tired legs here after yesterday's exhausting, OT game against Air Force. Nevada, who topped the MWC this season, has an equally well-balanced front and back court. UNLV is 12-37-3 ATS their L52 vs. the MWC and 5-16-1 ATS their L22 overall. Nevada is 17-4 ATS their L21 following a SU loss and 40-18-3 ATS their L61 vs. teams with a winning record. Take the Wolf Pack. Thank you.

Take Xavier.

This is my LATE INFO MOVE.

Game 694.

9:00 am pst.

Xavier has beaten St. Johns 6 in a row SU and enter this contest 100% healthy and well-rested. The Musketeers possess one of the toughest rebounding corps in the nation, at both ends of the court. A place where the Red Storm has had issues. When it comes to Conference play, Xavier is 15-3 while SJU is 5-14. The shoe drops on the Red Storm today. Take the Musketeers. Thank you.

Take CMU.

This is my Early Game Winner.

Game 685.

9:00 am pst.

Buffalo tends to get too much credit by oddsmakers. Today, the Bulls are an 8.5 point favorite against a team that has 4 DD scorers (1 starter at 9.6 PPG) and a slew of solid rebounders. The difference here is that the Chippewas have 3 talented, strong big men in Forward's, Williams, DiLeo, and Meyer. Not to mention the #2 ranked FT shooting team in the nation (80.4%). Buffalo is 2-7-1 ATS their L9 game overall while CMU is 8-2-1 ATS their L11 games vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600. Take The Chippewas. Thank you.

Take George Washington.

This is my POWERHOUSE PLAY.

Game 608.

5:30 pm pst.

George Washington has dominated Fordham, taking the L6 in this series SU, including both meetings this season. The Colonials enter this matchup winning 4 of their L6 both SU and ATS, while the Rams are riding a 6-game skid and are just 2-7 ATS their L9 contests. GW has a better front court on the glass and the far superior back court tandem. Fordham is 0-6 ATS their L6 games played on neutral sites, 0-4 ATS their L4 games played vs. A 10 foes, and 17-36-2 ATS their L55 games played overall. Take the Colonials. Thank you.  

Take Georgetown.

This is my SHOCKER GOM.

Game 610.

4:00 pm pst.

Georgetown took both meetings this year (SU and ATS) and rested their #2 scorer and rebounder, Marcus Derrickson, last game. In both of the earlier matchups, the Hoyas outrebounded the Red Storm, which has been an issue for SJU all season, with the poorest rebound margin in Big East play (-8.5). The problem here is the top-3 contributors for G'Town, 6'10", 270 lb, Govan, 6'7", 250 lb, Derrickson, and 6'7", 190 lb, Pickett, are all incredible rebounders who happen to lead the team in minutes. The Red Storm are 2-5 ATS the L7 meetings vs. the Hoyas and 1-6 ATS their L7 games played on neutral sites. Take Georgetown. Thank you.

Take Notre Dame.

Game 579.

4:00 pm pst.

Yesterday, Notre Dame allowed Pitt to make a 2nd half run, despite a 67-64 victory. But the Irish had the game in hand. Today, they face a Hokies team they had lost to, 80-75, back in January. But, Notre Dame was without their top-2 scorers. Well, Colson and Farrell are back and 100% healthy. In the first meeting, without Colson, the Fighting Irish still outrebounded the Hokies, 38-27. It was the fact that V Tech hit 50.9% from the floor. With their top blocker and rebounder now in the lineup, the Irish, who are 4-0 ATS their L4 games played following an ATS, will get their revenge. Take Notre Dame. Thank you.

Take Syracuse.

Game 522.

4:00 pm pst.

This is basically a home game for the 'Cuse. But that's not the only reason they come in here with confidence. Syracuse took down 20th ranked Clemson on Saturday, to close out the regular season. While Wake Forest has dropped 6 of their L8 SU and ATS, failing to cover 4 straight. The Orange possess a very strong defense, ranking 14th nationally, yielding just 64.1 PPG and 8th in FG% (39.6%). The Demon Deacons don't have too much of a "D" and must face a dangerous back court of Battle and Howard (35.2 PPG combined). Wake Forest has just 1 rebounder in Center, Doral Moore, but Syracuse starts 3 big men in Howard, Brissett, and Chukwu, rotating in 2 more in Dolezaj and Moyer. The Demon Deacons are 2-5 ATS the L7 vs. the Orange, 1-4 ATS their L5 games played at a neutral site, 3-13 ATS their L16 games played vs. ACC opponents, and 3-13 ATS their L16 games played overall. Take Syracuse. Thank you.

Take Notre Dame.

This is my SLAM DUNK.

Game 520.

11:30 am pst.

With Notre Dame back at full force, they are going to be a force in the ACC Tournament. Seeing the return of their floor general, and 2nd leading scorer, Matt Farrell was big. But having Bonzie Colson (20.9 PPG/10.6 RPG/3.1 BPG/2.3 SPG) is huge. Now the Irish are going to come out and make a statement here in the 1st round of the ACC Tourney. Pitt is horrible, going 0-18 in Conference play and having not won a game since a 4-pt squeaker over Towson on December 22nd. The Panthers score only 62.0 PPG and have a poor defense as well. To make matters worse, with Ryan Luther put, they do not have a single strong rebounder or a talented big man to slow down Forward's, Colson and Geben. Take Notre Dame. Thank you.

Take St. Mary's.

This is my LAY UP PLAY.

Game 734.

8:30 pm pst.

After nearly blowing their NCAA Tourney chances in Saturday's quarterfinals against the 10th seeded Pepperdine team, St. Mary's will take no chances today and come out to destroy. The Gaels have won and covered 5 straight over the Cougars, taking those 5 contests by an average of 16.0 PPG. St. Mary's is the top-shooting team in the nation (51.5%) and are also ranked #1 on the defensive boards. A combination that just doesn't bode well for BYU. 6'11", 255 lb. Center, Jock Londale has too much muscle for 6'8", 225 lb. Yoeli Childs. The Favorite is 10-1 ATS the L11 meetings in this series. Take the Gaels. Thank you.

Take Michigan.

This is my BIG TEN TITLE GAME WINNER.

Game 837.

1:30 pm pst.

Last season, Michigan won 4 games in 4 days to claim the Conference Tournament Title. They will do it again this season. Coming into this game, the Wolverines have won 8 in a row SU, going 7-1 ATS. All respect to Purdue, the Boilermakers have covered just one game over their L12 contests. Michigan has covered the L4 meetings in this series, including both regular season matchups this year, settled by a combined 5 points. The Wolverines stifling "D" will frustrate the Boilermakers here. Purdue is 1-10-1 ATS their L12 vs. Big Ten foes and 0-5-1 ATS their L6 vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600. Michigan is 19-6-1 ATS their L26 vs. Big Ten opponents and 6-0 ATS their L6 vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600. Take the Wolverines. Thank you.

Take UCI.

This is my BIG WEST GOM.

Game 634.

7:30 pm pst.

Both Irvine and Davis are tied for first in the Big West at 11-4, as they enter this final game of the regular season. In the January 4th, 64-53 Aggies victory, the Anteaters won the battle of the glass (39-29) but shot just 36% from the floor. This is a team with 5 solid starters and 5 monster rebounders. Davis is still without their leading scorer and rebounder, Chima Moneke. (suspension). They only have 2 DD scorers and do not possess a single good player on the glass. The Home team is 4-1 ATS the L5 meetings in this series. The Anteaters are 8-1 ATS their L9 games played vs. Big West opponents and 8-1 ATS their L9 games played overall. Take UCI. Thank you.

 Take Notre Dame.

This is my UD GOM.

Game 563.

1:00 pm pst

Not taking anything away from Virginia, but they come off an exhausting, last-second, 67-66 victory over Louisville, Thursday night. Since the return of Guard, Matt Farrell, Notre Dame is 5-2 ATS SU. Now, they also have PF, Bonzie Carlson, who accounted for 12 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 blocks in 21 minutes in his first game back, on Wednesday. While the Cavs have an amazing defense, they just don't score a lot of points (67.5 PPG). Take Notre Dame. Thank you.

Take Kentucky.

This is my REVENGE GOM.

Game 529.

9:00 am pst.

Since their worst skid in nearly a decade, Kentucky has now rattled off 4 straight wins and covers. In the earlier meeting, the Wildcats just didn't go to the line that much (8 of 12). The 66-64 loss was the 2nd lowest point output by UK all season (the lowest being in game 3 vs. Kansas, a 65-61 loss). Once again they will dominate the UF on the boards, while overpowering them with their Forward-rich squad. Kentucky is 4-1 ATS their L5 games played following an ATS win and 4-0 ATS their L4 games played vs. SEC opponents. Florida is 2-5 ATS the L7 meetings in this series and 4-9-1 ATS their L14 games played at home. Take the Wildcats. Thank you.

Take Rhode Island.

This is my CONSENSUS PLAY.

Game 843.

5:00 pm pst.

Rhode Island locked up the #1 seed in the A 10. But coming off a humiliating, 30-pt loss to St. Joe's and earning an early round bye in the upcoming Conference Tourney, the team will not want to go into the post-season stale or off a bad loss. Davidson will come in tired after Tuesday's, exhausting, triple OT loss to St. Bonny's. Matchups were a nightmare for the Wildcats in the earlier meeting (URI 72-DAV 59), as the Rams defense frustrated the 'Cats on the perimeter, forcing them to shoot just 4 of 17, while URI dominated the glass (30-22). The Rams are 17-7 ATS their L24 vs. the A 10, 7-3 ATS their L10 following a loss, and 23-11-1 ATS their L35 overall. Take Rhode Island. Thank you.

Take SIU.

This is my LATE INFO.

Game 860.

4:00 pm pst.

SIU has had their way with MOSU, taking the L7 in the series SU, going 5-2 ATS. The Bears have been absolutely dreadful, winning just 5 of their L16 SU, covering only 4 of those 16. The salukis are a healthy team, loaded with scorers and rebounders. The Underdog is 6-0 ATS the L6 meetings in the series while MOSU is 4-12 ATS their L16 vs. the MVC. Take SIU. Thank you.

Take Oregon.

This is my PAC 12 GOM.

Game 539.

6:00 pm pst.

Oregon needs one more victory to reach 20 wins on the season and a first round bye in the upcoming PAC 12 Tournament. The Ducks crushed the Cougars, 84-57, 18 days ago, in a game in which they looked to humiliate, as they accounted for the overall final 14 points scored. WSU's porous, doormat or a defense is in trouble here against an Oregon "O" that averages 79.0 PPG with just about 5 DD starters (4 DD and 1 at 9.7 PPG). The Ducks are 5-2 ATS the L7 meetings in this series, 44-21 ATS their L65 games played vs. PAC 12 foes, and 4-1 ATS their L5 games played overall. Take Oregon. Thank you.  

Take New Mexico.

This is my LAY UP PLAY.

Game 751.

6:00 pm pst.

These 2 teams have headed in opposite directions. New Mexico has won their L3 while Colorado State has lost 3 in a row and 10 of their L11. The Lobos offense has posted 91 or more points in 3 of their L4 contests. With 5 DD scorers and 2 players posting just under 10.0 PPG (9.2 & 9.0), UNM has too much offense for CSU here. Take the Lobos. Thank you.

Take Houston.

This is my SLAM DUNK.

Game 749.

6:00 pm pst.

Houston clinched a first round bye in the upcoming, AAC Tourney but still must keep their foot on the gas. SMU, dealing with scholarship reductions, is now dealing with injuries. With Milton and Foster out, the Mustangs are missing not just their top and 3rd leading scorers but their floor general. The Cougars are red-hot, and have too many weapons here. Houston is 5-1-1 ATS their L7 vs. the AAC while SMU is 4-9-1 ATS their L14 vs. the AAC. Take the Cougars. Thank you.

Take Kentucky.

This is my CONSENSUS PLAY.
Game 724.

4:00 pm pst.

Since their longest losing streak in 9 years, Kentucky has now won and covered 3 straight, all by DD's. Meanwhile, Mississippi is on a 1-8 SU and ATS run. The Wildcats have taken 8 in a row SU over the Rebels, going 5-1 ATS (both of LY's meetings were won by 23.0 PPG). Mississippi is 1-7 ATS their L8 games played vs. the SEC, 1-4 ATS their L5 games played on the road, and 1-7 ATS their L8 games played vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600. Take Kentucky. Thank you.

Take Alabama.

This is my LVSM.

Game 526.

4:00 pm pst.

Alabama shellacked Florida, 68-50 just over 3 weeks ago. Without Center, John Egbunu, and Forward's, Chase Johnson and Isaiah Stokes, the Gators are thin up front. This doesn't bode well against one of the SEC's top defensive squads. Offensively, the Crimson Tide have the best player on the floor in Guard, Collin Sexton (18.2 PPG). Florida is 2-6-1 ATS their L9 games played vs. SEC foes and 2-5-1 ATS their L9 games played overall. Alabama is 7-2 ATS their L9 games played at home and 5-2 ATS their L7 games played following an ATS loss. The Crimson Tide. Thank you. 

Take Duke.

This is my ESPN WINNER.

Game 723.

4:00 pm pst.

The red-hot Duke squad has won and covered 5 straight, including a 74-52 spanking over Virginia Tech just 12 days ago. Since switching solely to a zone defense 4 games ago, the Blue Devils have not allowed more than 57 points. Duke certainly has the offense, ranking 5th nationally, scoring 86.2 PPG. But now with a tighter defense, the team is solid. In the earlier meetings, they outrebounded V Tech, 34-18, which will occur again tonight. The Hokies just can't compete on the glass here. The Blue Devils are 5-0 ATS their L5 vs. the ACC and 12-4-1 ATS their L17 on the road. Take Duke. Thank you. 

Take Nebraska.

This is my BIG TEN GAME OF THE YEAR.

Game 834.

2:15 pm pst.

There are quite a few factors that give Nebraska a huge edge here. The Cornhuskers need wins to ensure a spot in the Big Dance. This is a team that has had great success in Conference play this season, going 12-5 SU vs. Big Ten foes. They are a remarkable, 15-1 SU (12-2 ATS) at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Then there's the Revenge factor. PSU beat them, 76-74 in OT, back in January.  Finally, the Mike Watkins issue. The Nittany Lions' 3rd leading scorer and top rebounder (12.1 PPG/8.9 RPG) is out here. The Forward hurt his leg in the game on the 18th against the Boilermakers. He played only 9 minutes and scored just 3 points in the loss. Then, the star player only played 5 minutes and didn't score at all in Wednesday's defeat against the Wolverines. Without him full force, the team is 0-2 the L2. Watkins accounted for 20 points and 15 rebounds in the earlier matchup. Nebraska is 4-1 ATS the L5 meetings vs. Penn State, 10-1 ATS their L11 games played at home, 14-2 ATS their L16 vs. Big Ten opponents, and 21-6 ATS their L27 games played overall. Take the Cornhuskers. Thank you. 

Take Fresno State.

This is my POWERHOUSE play.

Game 642.

7:00 pm pst.

Fresno State crushed Wyoming, 80-62 just 3 weeks ago to start a 5-game win and cover streak. Wyoming is on a 2-4 SU skid, while only covering once over their L8 contests. The Cowboys are 1-5 ATS their L6 games played vs. the Bulldogs, 1-3-1 ATS their L5 games played on the road, and 0-4 ATS their L4 games played vs. the MWC. The Bulldogs are 29-11 ATS their L40 games played following a SU win, 4-1 ATS  their L5 games played at home, and 5-0 ATS their L5 games played vs. the MWC. Take Fresno State. Thank you. 

Take George Mason.

This is my CONSENSUS play.

Game 614.

3:00 pm pst.

George Mason has won and covered the L3 in this series, including an 80-72 OT victory back in the beginning of January. The Minutemen are on the skids, going 1-9 SU their L10, and 3-7 ATS. The Patriots have won 4 of their L6 SU, covering 6 straight. The trio of Guards, Livingston II, Grayer, and Kier (42.2 PPG/15.3 RPG combined) will once again control the tempo. UMass is 1-4 ATS their L5 games played on the road while George Mason is 6-0 ATS their L6 games vs. A 10 opponents. Take the Patriots. Thank you. 

Take Wichita State.

This is my AAC GOW.

Game 543.

11:00 am pst.

Wichita State is most-likely seeing the return of Guard, Shamet (14.7 PPG) here. The team is looking for a little payback after SMU halted their 27-game win streak at Charles Koch Arena. Lest not forget, the Shockers need to keep their foot on the gas (currently  projected as a 3rd seed). The team has won 5 in a row SU and 7 of their L8. The Mustangs are ice-cold, going 2-6 SU their L8, covering just 3 of their L13. In the earlier meeting, Milton put up 33 points. Well, the Guard is now out and the team is 1-5 both SU and ATS during his absence. SMU is 1-4 ATS their L5 games played at home, 1-4-1 ATS their L6 games played vs. the AAC, and 1-9-1 ATS their L11 games played vs. teams with a SU winning record. Take Wichita State. Thank you.

Take UNT.

This is my PH.

Game 587.

4:00 pm pst.

UNT took down FIU, 69-67 in OT, almost a month ago. The Mean Green. have the best player on the floor in Roosevelt Smart (19.4 PPG/4.0 RPG) who leads a slew of scorers and 5 solid rebounders. The Golden Panthers just don't have the horses to run in this matchup. The Underdog is 17-3 ATS the L20 meetings in this series while UNT is 6-1 ATS their L7 games played on the road. Take the Mean Green. Thank you. 

Take Penn State.

This is my CONSENSUS play.

Game 714.

4:00 pm pst.

Michigan falls short on the road, where they are just 4-5 SU while Penn State is 14-3 SU at home, outscoring visitors by 14.9 PPG. The Nittany Lions have won 6 of their L8 SU, coming into this matchup, while going 7-1 ATS. These 2 teams match up well, however, PSU has 5 DD scorers and 4 monster rebounders, including stud, Tony Carr (19.6 PPG/4.6 RPG). The big difference here is in the front court, where the Nittany Lions tandem of 6'8", Stevens, and 6'9", Watkins (27.6 PPG/15.4 RPG combined) will dominate the Wolverines only big man, Moritz Wagner. The Home Team is 5-2 ATS the L7 meetings in this series. Take Penn State. Thank you. 

Take Georgia.

This is my 'DOG OUTRIGHT WINNER.

Game 705.

3:30 pm pst.

Georgia enters this matchup with confidence after beating Florida, 72-69, as a 10-pt 'dog and Tennessee, 73-62 as a 3-pt 'dog. South Carolina is just 1-6 SU their L7, going 2-5 ATS. In the earlier meeting, Yante Maten scored 25 of the Bulldogs 57 points. The team crutched on their Forward a bit too much. Now, the big man is getting help from fellow Forward's, Ogbeide and Hammonds (13.6 PPG/10.5 RPG combined). The Underdog is 6-0 ATS the L6 meetings in this series. The Road Team is 5-0 ATS the L5 meetings in this series. Georgia is 9-1 ATS the L10 games played at South Carolina and 22-6 ATS the L28 overall games vs. South Carolina. Take the Bulldogs. 

Take St. Louis.

This is my A 10 GOW.

Game 629.

6:00 pm pst.

St. Louis took down Dayton by 10, a little over 3 weeks ago, by doing what they do...play defense and rebound. The Billikens' "D" allows just 65.6 PPG and have the superior rebounding corps in this matchup. St. Louis is 22-6 ATS their L28 games vs. the A 10, 13-5 ATS their L18 on the road, and 30-12 ATS their L42 overall. Dayton is 1-7-1 ATSZ their L9 vs. the A 10, 1-11 ATS their L12 following a SU win, and 1-7-1 ATS their L9 overall. Take the Billikens. Thank you. 

Take Kansas.

This is my ESPN Winner.

Game 716.

6:00 pm pst.

Since the January 23rd, 5-pt win over Kansas, Oklahoma is 1-6 SU and 0-7 ATS. The Sooners top-scorer, Trae Young is struggling. At one point, missing 20 consecutive 3-pointers and is averaging just 23.6 PPG during the current 5-game funk. Overall, the team is accounting for only 74.2 PPG, way down from their season average of 87.5 PPG. Kansas plays a tight "D" and will outscore the hampering, Oklahoma squad. Not to mention getting a little revenge here. The Sooners are 0-6 ATS their L6 vs. the Big 12, 0-7 ATS their L7 on the road, and 1-10 ATS their L11 overall. Take the Jayhawks. Thank you. 

Take Nebraska.

This is my LVSM.

Game 853.

12:30 pm pst.

The red-hot Cornhuskers have won 6 in a row and 13 of their L15 SU, going an astounding, 12-1 ATS their L13. They took a slim 1-pt win over the Illini just over a month ago. Illinois is ice-cold, losing 4 in a row and 10 of their L12 SU, and failing to cover 6 of their L8. The swarming, Nebraska defense has gotten even better since the January matchup. The Cornhuskers are 8-0 ATS their L8 games played on the road, 13-3 ATS their L16 games played vs. the Big Ten, and 20-6 ATS their L26 games played overall. The Illini are 1-6 ATS their L8 games played at home, 2-8 ATS their L10 games played vs. the Big Ten, and 2-6 ATS their L8 games played overall. Take the Cornhuskers. Thank you. 

Take William & Mary.

This is my 'DOG OUTRIGHT WINNER.

Game 561.

1:00 pm pst.

Payback for a 90-70 shellacking just 1 month ago at home here. W&M has fared much better on the road, where they are 9-3 ATS on the season. In the earlier matchup, the Tribe shot 46.3 % overall, down from their 50.7%, and 29.6% (5-17) beyond the arc, where they rank #1 in the nation, normally at 43.8%. All this while the Huskies shot 71.4% from the field and a whopping, 63.2% from 3-pt land. the sharpshooting, William & Mary squad will exact a little revenge here behind their 5 DD scoring starters. Northeastern is 1-5 ATS their L6 games played vs. the CAA and 1-5 ATS their L6 games played overall. Take William & Mary. Thank you. 

Take Auburn

This is my NCAAB GOM.

Game 539.

12:30 pm pst.

The current 10th ranked Auburn squad is motivated to pick up wins as to lock up the SEC regular season Title. They need every win they can grab, so taking advantage of the lowly (tied for last), South Carolina team, who is riding a 6-game SU losing streak (going 1-5 ATS), is just what they will do. The Tigers average 85.1 PPG, are money from beyond the arc (38.6%), sharp from the line (78.1% FT's), and are far superior on the boards in this matchup. With 4 DD scorers, led by the back court trio of Brown, Heron, and Harper (50.2 PPG combined) and 4 strong, rotating Forwards, Auburn has just too much talent for South Carolina. The Road Team is 12-5 ATS the L17 meetings in this series. The Tigers are 7-2 ATS the L9 games played at the Gamecocks, 5-1 ATS their L6 games played on the road, 13-3 ATS their L16 games played vs. the SEC, and 20-7 ATS their L27 games played overall. Take Auburn. Thank you. 

Take Providence.

This is my CONTRARIAN GOM.

Game 509.

9:00 am pst.

Providence thwarted Butler, 70-60, just over a month ago. In that game, the only Bulldogs player to produce was Kamar Baldwin. Well, the team is primed and ready for him today. The Bulldogs are riding a 3-game skid, both SU and ATS, with their defense yielding over 90.3 PPG during the slide. The Friars are a solid squad with 4 DD scorers and 4 solid rebounders. The Underdog is 8-1 ATS the L9 meetings in this series. Providence is 5-1 ATS the L6 meetings vs. Butler. Take the Friars. Thank you. 

Take St. Mary's.

This is my WCC GOM.

Game 563.

8:00 pm pst.

With snapping their nation-leading 19-game win streak to Gonzaga Saturday, St. Mary's will come back here with a vengeance. Not just because of the win streak coming to an end. Not just because of the loss. But because they are now tied for first in the Conference with the Bulldogs. St. Mary's has taken 7 straight over San Francisco, going 6-1 ATS, including a 79-43 beating, just 2 weeks ago. Over the 7-game rivalry skid, the Dons have never come within DD's. The Gaels can shoot, possessing the #1 FG% squad in college basketball, shooting 52.4% from the floor. But they also own a Top-20 defense, yielding just 64.6 PPG and rank #1 on the defensive boards. The Dons don't have anyone to stop Center, Jock Londale (22.0 PPG/10.7 RPG), who lit them up for 26 points and 12 rebounds in the first meeting. The Gaels are 11-4 ATS the L15 games played at the Dons, 16-5 ATS their L21 games played following an ATS loss, and 6-2 ATS their L8 games played on the road. Take St. Mary's .Thank you. 

Take UTSA.

This is my CONF USA GOW.

Game 535.

5:00 pm pst.

These 2 teams match up quite well so giving UTSA DD's is a gift. The Road Runners have won and covered 4 straight and while the Monarchs have won 7 of their L8 SU, they have been crushing bettors, going just 3-8 ATS their L11, which includes an 0-4 (2-2 SU) mark at home. UTSA owns an explosive offense that averages over 80.2 PPG and ranks 9th nationally on the "O" boards. Old Dominion can't compete on the scoreboard here, but can play a bit of defense. The Road Runners are 4-0 ATS their L4 vs. the Conference USA while the Monarchs are 4-11 ATS their L15 vs. the Conference USA. Take UTSA.

Thank you. 

Take Tulsa.

This is my ESPN WINNER.

Game 521.

4:00 pm pst.

Tulsa is doing what they need to do to climb back into Tournament bid contention. The Golden Hurricane's have won 3 in a row and 4 of their L5 SU, and went 5-1 ATS their L7. On the other hand, U Conn is skidding. The Huskies have dropped 6 of their L8, both SU and ATS. Yes, the team has a trio of solid Guards in Adams, Vital, and Larrier, but absolutely no force in the paint whatsoever, lacking any Forwards at all. The Golden Hurricanes counter with their own trio of starting Guards, Taplin, Henderson jr, and Jeffires. Not to forget the best player on the floor, Forward, Junior Etou (15.5 PPG/8.0 RPG), who will go uncontested. He and fellow Forward, Martanis Igbanu (9.3 PPG/5.4 RPG) will dominate the paint. Connecticut is 7-19 ATS their L26 games played at home and 1-4 ATS their L5 games played vs. the AAC. Take Tulsa. Thank you. 

Take Bradley.

This is my NCAAB REVENGE GOM.

Game 754.

5:00 pm pst.

Illinois State took a January 17th meeting, 70-57. In that contest, the Red Birds had their 2nd, 3rd, and 5th leading scorers, Evans, Fayne, and Bruninga, all in the lineup. They are all out with injuries here. They accounted for 19 points and 9 rebounds. Overall, the trio averages 36.7 PPG and 12.4 RPG. The team has 6, yes 6, significant players now sidelined with injuries. To make matters worse, Bradley who is 12-1 SU and 9-1-2 ATS at home on the campaign, returns to the Carver Arena for the first time since suffering their first home loss of the season. The Braves are 18-8 ATS the L26 overall meetings vs. the Red Birds, 10-3 ATS the L13 meetings at home vs. the Red Birds, and 22-4-2 ATS their L28 overall games played at home. Take Bradley. Thank you. 

Take Alabama.

This is my CONSENSUS PLAY.

Game 548.

6:00 pm pst.

Game 555.

11:30 am pst.

Xavier leads the Big East at 10-2 in Conference play and has already taken down Creighton, 92-70, back in mid-January, giving them 3 straight covers in the series. The Musketeers are riding a 7-game SU win streak and bring in a very healthy squad chock full of scorers and rebounders. The Blue Jays have dropped 3 of their L7 SU and 3 straight ATS, and are sorely missing their best rebounder and 3rd leading scorer, Krampelj.

The Hoosiers have been money, covering 10 of their L13 overall.

Game 740.

5:00 pm pst.

6:00 pm pst.

Nebraska is soaring, winning 3 in a row and 5 of their L6 SU, and covering 13 of their L14, including 7 straight road games. Minnesota is sinking, as they have dropped 5 in a row and 8 of their L9 SU, covering just 4 of their L16 outings.

Take Syracuse.

This is my ESPN TV WINNER.

Game 717.

4:00 pm pst.

Both teams are quite similar in standings, however, Syracuse plays a frustrating, stifling defense. Giving the Orange 7 points here is a grave mistake by the oddsmakers. They rank 7th in Points Allowed (62.7 PPG) and 4th in FG% (38.1%), while possessing a superior rebounding corps. The back court of Battle and Howard (34.4 PPG/6.4 RPG combined) will control the tempo here. Take Syracuse. Thank you. 

Take Richmond.

This is my A 10 GOW.

Game 598.

1:30 pm pst.

Take Kentucky.

This is my SEC GOW.

11:00 am pst.

Missouri is thin in the back court as Phillips is out (suspension). This gives the Guard-rich Kentucky squad a big edge here. The Wildcats have 4 DD scorers (1 starter at 9.8 PPG) and play a very tough "D" on the perimeter. A place where Missouri relies upon, offensively. The Wildcats are 5-2 ATS the L7 meetings in this series. Take Kentucky. Thank you. 

Take Loyola Chicago.

This is my MVC GOW.

Game 548.

11:00 pm pst.

Missouri State has dropped 4 in a row SU and 6 of their L8 overall while failing to cover 8 straight. Outside of Forward, Alize Johnson, the team has no consistency.

 Loyola Chicago is red-hot,, winning 7 of their L8 both SU and ATS and possess 5 DD  scorers and also have the defense to slow down Johnson. The Ramblers are 3-0-1 ATS the L4 meetings in this series, 7-1 ATS their L8 vs. MVC opponents, and 5-2 ATS their L7 games played at home.

Buffalo is 9-2 ATS the L11 overall meetings vs. Kent, 6-0 ATS th3 L6 meetings at Kent, 19-7-1 ATS their L27 games played on the road, 35-15-3 ATS their L53 games played vs. MAC opponents, and 32-15-4 ATS their L51 games played overall. Take the Bulls. Thank you. 

Take MSU.

This is my Slam Dunk.

Game 819.

10:00 am pst.

MSU just decimated Maryland, 91-61, a little over 3 weeks ago. The Spartans own a Top-20 offense and a Top-20 defense and will once again win the battle of the boards with their superior rebounders. The Terrapins have the Boilermakers up next and will get caught looking ahead. Take MSU. Thank you. 

Take Duke.

This is my TV GAME WINNER.

Game 534.

11:00 am pst.

I am not taking anything away from the #1 ranked Virginia defense but the #1 scoring offense of Duke, the Cavs just won't be able to keep pace with. And will fall short on the boards too. The Blue Devils are a perfect, 10-0 at home, averaging over 96.0 PPG. The Cavaliers just can't keep pace here. Take Duke. Thank you. 

Take South Carolina.

This is my EW.

Game 520.

9:00 am pst.

South Carolina is red-hot, winning 3 of their L4 games outright over Georgia, Kentucky, and Florida. Texas Tech has dropped 3 of their L5 SU and 5 straight ATS.

The Red Raiders are 0-5 ATS the L5 vs. SEC foes while the Gamecocks are 34-16-2 ATS their L52 non-Conference games. Take South Carolina. Thank you. 

Take Ball State.

This is my Consensus Play.

Game 524.

9:00 am pst.

This meetings doesn't bode well as Akron has been without their 2 tallest players, Sayles and Olojakpoke. Ball State's, Mallers, Teague, and Moses, who are 6'7", 6'8", and 6'9", will dominate here, especially at Worthen Arena, where the team is 9-1 SU compared to Akron's 0-5 road record. The Zips are 1-7 ATS their L8 games played on the road. Take the Cardinals. Thank you. 

Take Gonzaga.

This is my WCC GOW.

They own the 4th ranked scoring (88.2 PPG) and shooting (51.1%) offense, while possessing one of the nation's best rebounding squads at both ends of the court (13th off./15th def.). Portland is 2-9 ATS their L11 games played at home and 8-19-1 ATS their L28 games played following a SU win. Gonzaga is 18-7-2 ATS their L27 games played on the road and 34-16-2 ATS their L52 games played vs. the WCC. Take the Bulldogs. Thank you

Take Duquesne.

This is my LAY UP.

Game 728.

4:00 pm pst.

Laying a short price with the defensively aggressive (66.0 PPG overall allowed) Duquesne squad at home is the smart play here. The Dukes own a 12-2 SU (5-1 ATS) home record, covering their L4 at the AJ Palumbo Center. Richmond has had issues on the road, where they are just 1-5 SU and will have problems putting up points with their lackluster offense (68.1 PPG overall/63.3 PPG on the road). The Home Team is 6-2 ATS the L8 meetings in this series. The Spiders are 2-6 ATS their L8 on the road and 3-8 ATS their L11 vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600. The Dukes are 5-2 ATS their L7 vs. the Atlantic 10 and 5-2 ATS their L7 overall. Take Duquesne. Thank you. 

Take WV.

This is my LVSM.

Game 729.

6:00 pm pst.

West Virginia is 11-0 all-time against TCU. The Mountaineers are equally strong on both ends of the court while the Horned Frogs can score, but defensively, rank 299th, yielding over 77.6 PPG. They have dropped 5 of their L7 SU and 5of their L8 ATS, and are a dismal, 2-5 SU in Conference play. West Virginia enters this contest riding a 3-game road cover streak. Take the Mountaineers. Thank you.
