Taking KANSAS STATE her. Have to fade the Vols off their huge Kentucky win. Betting scoring defense, and they can put the ball in the hoop. 4* Money Maker KANSAS STATE 

Taking MARIST here. We come in off 2 losses, but Fairfield staggers in having dropping 5 straight. Red Foxes with double revenge working in our favor also. Marist 5-2 ATS last 7 in the series. 4* Money Maker MARIST 

Taking FULLERTON here. I remember several years ago taking LBST as a +16 ML dog in UNLV and scoring an outright win. They always have a crazy non-conference schedule. But this is not the same kind of team. It is easy that everyone picks them to win the Big West. But I just don't see it. They are already 3-3 in conference play. Their home wins have been by 5 and 6 and a loss to Northridge. I have to think Titans keep it within striking distance. 4* Money Maker CS FULLERTON 

Taking PEPPERDINE here. So we have a couple bottom-feeders in WCC play. Pepperdine 1-7 in conference play, having dropped 14 of their last 15 game, FAVORED! Portland has dropped 6 straight and 8 of 10 and has 2 wins in the WCC. This is spot where I see a team in a huge slump, favored. This is a team they should beat. They HAVE to beat. It isn't like they are getting pumped to play Gonzaga next. This is where they break their losing streak. 4* Money Maker PEPPERDINE 

Taking PACIFIC here. Going to ride some trends here as the road team is 8-0 ATS last 8. The underdog is 6-0 ATS last 6. And Pacific is 4-0 ATS last 4 trips into Marymount. 4* Money Maker PACIFIC TIGERS

Taking POLY SLO here. These guys have lost 10 straight including a 22pt drubbing a week ago by this same Irvine team. Irvine clearly the class of the Big West. But, they have a big game the team right behind them in conference play Saturday at Cal Davis. Maybe they take their foot off the gas long enough for the back-door to come through. 4* Money Make CAL POLY 

Taking UTEP here. I will tell you I had these guys left for dead after they dropped 12 straight. But they have reeled off 3 straight wins at home, 2 in overtime. They it showing me some fight and some pride and most important, they haven't quit on their coach. Now they get WKU. Like I said. 12 straight losses. But last year and the year before, both games between these 2 went to over-time. WKU is in a different boat. They had won 5 straight and are now mired in a 4 game losing streak. I have to grab the points here. 4* UTEP 

Taking RICE here. We have revenge from an earlier December game. We have long travel to for Old Dominion. They are facing team scoring over 80ppg and they slug along at 60. A lot more difficult forcing your style of play on the road. I don't expect 37 from the field, 24% from 3 and 45 from the charity stripe at home from Rice either. And I am pretty sure you can bet the ranch that OD won't be hitting over 50% from the floor when they can't hit 40% on the year. 10* Money Bomb RICE OWLS 

Taking DELAWARE here. Blue Hens with ugly numbers, but we have some nice trends working in our favor. 17-5 ATS last 22 in the series and 8-3 ATS here at The Tribe. 4*  Money Maker DELAWARE 

Taking HOFSTRA here. Now, not really a fan of taking a team as the line is going up. But I feel that is based not just on the public, but also Drexel themselves. First. It is a total rebuilding year. But this team doesn't really look that good to me. They used to a be a defense first type of team, not they want to push the tempo. Just not the right guys run that yet. 4* Money Maker HOFSTRA 

4* Money Maker UC RIVERSIDE

Taking NEVADA here. This is a pretty solid club with youngsters and upperclassman. They were my early season pick to win the Mountain West and here they are tied with Boise at 5-2 atop of the conference. Now I did have Boise as a middle of the road squad. So obviously I think they have over achieved a bit. So give me the points here! 4* Money Maker NEVADA WOLF PACK 

Taking SAN JOSE STATE here. Might sprinkle ML +280 on this puppy. I am not a fan of this Colorado State team. They lost 2 good contributors due to academics. Spartans in off a pair of home losses. Just think this a little too many points for the Rams. 4* Money Maker SAN JOSE STATE 

Taking TEXAS TECH. Just not a fan of Baylor and this amount of points, seems low actually. Would it shock anyone if the #5 or whatever team in the country wins by 20 at home? Of course not. But this is the same team that was routed at West Virginia. That can be a little harsh sounding since the Bears are 18-1. But exactly. They are 18-1 and are not laying heavy wood like a typical (Duke, Kansas, NC)  would be laying (Mid Teen #s). 4* Money Maker TEXAS TECH

Taking FLORIDA STATE here. I know what everyone is thinking here. Higgs. We have to fade the Seminoles off big wins over Louisville and Notre Dame. Tech is home after 2 road losses. Well. I can see where we want to play on GT. But I think FSU will be focused here. They have revenge from last February where the Yellowjackets came down to Tallahassee and won by 6 as 7 point dogs. So I don't think they will be over-looking anything here. 4* Money Maker FSU 

Sorry for the late to my weekly, season package people. I just had to add WOFFORD. 8-12 favored over a 16 win team. NC Greensboro 7-1 in conference play, Wofford 3-4. But we have the Terriers on a nice 15-5-1 ATS run in the series. 4* Money Maker WOFFORD 

Taking BOWLING GREEN here. So we have a 1-7 road team vs a 8-1 home team and this line is coming down with the public on the Chips at nearly a 3-1 count. CMU has a pair of tiny, sub 6 ft guards that put in 50ppg. But playing 2 on 5 isn't a recipe for success. 4* Money Maker BOWLING GREEN 

Taking WEST VIRGINIA here. We cashed the 'Neers as huge 10* not too long ago as they were favored over then #1 Baylor. Absolute burial. Now, we have West Va, in off a pair of losses, favored again over a #1 Big 12 division foe. Big, bad Kansas. Now. Obviously this one isn't as easy in my books as Baylor. Bill Self is a better coach. Better players. And long term success coming from the Jayhawks. Part of me can easily see grabbing +165 with Kansas ML. But then I see this line and know that whenever the #1 team in any sport is getting points, I have to fade them. 4* Money Maker WEST VIRGINIA 

Taking MIAMI OHIO here. This is a tough one because I think the Bulls are one of the better teams in MAC action. And Miami O was pegged for the bottom of the conference and is showing it going 1-5. The numbers and line say to take the road team here. But when things look to easy in the gambling world, they usually don't work out that way. Give me the home dogs. Might sprinkle +150 ML on this also. 4* Money Maker MIAMI OHIO 

Taking TOLDEO here. Ohio has lost their best player in Cambell who puts up 16ppg 9reb. That will be surely missed against a Rockets team.  I had Toledo penciled to win the MAC West with behind the play of Williams and Taylor and they are clearly in the hunt. An outright win will not be a shocker. 4* Money Maker TOLEDO

Taking UT ARLINGTON here as our Top CBB Play of the Day! - I know, I know. Higgs, a double digit fave? Not my normal 10* play for sure. But I just like this spot a lot.  We have the Mavericks in with triple revenge from last year. A pair of regular season losses, but the conference tournament. Everyone is back from that squad. ULM win-less in conference and losers of 5 straight and are a shell of that team losing 4 starters. This Texas-Arlington team is pretty good. They already scored wins over Texas and St Mary's. I think they will be with a really focused effort this afternoon to blast a team that has owned them. 10* Money Bomb TEXAS ARLINGTON
