West Virginia at Texas Christian 2:00 ET

Horned Frogs (+) over Mountaineers- Both this one is going to be hard to sell even to myself but it's the only way to go. No. 13 West Virginia has shown that they can play with the 'big' boys and win the close ones even if it drops coach bob Huggins to his knees. TCU enters this one on a 4-game slide and are 0-5 ATS in their last five contests and have failed to defeat the Mountaineers in any of their 10 previous meetings going 3-7 ATS (So, why should I expect them to win here?). Damn I told you this was a 'hard sell.' Well, you know when West Virginia has the spot-light (Saturday afternoons) they are 1-7 ATS and that's the best I have. Take the HORNED FROGS! 

Dayton at Davidson 9:00 ET

Wildcats (+) over Flyers- Flying high Dayton enters this Atlantic-10 battle with seven straight wins and they are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games overall. Davidson meanwhile lost in their last outing and they have lost four of their last six straight-up. With a revenge game with Virginia Commonwealth and the conference championship on deck the Flyers might be a bit distracted here. The 'number' is small and the Wildcats who are 7-4 at home and can give Dayton fits here. Take DAVIDISON. 

Utah at Colorado 11:00 ET

Utes (+) over Buffaloes- Utah who started their Pac-12 season 5-2 has dropped five of their last eight conference games while Colorado who started conference play 0-7 is 6-2 since. The Utes who blew a 13-point second half lead against lowly Oregon State Saturday night will have Kyle Kuzma back back in form after missing a contest because of an ankle sprain. Utah is looking to end their two-game slide and have won the last six meetings in this series. Take UTAH! 

USC at Arizona 10:00 ET

Trojans (+) over Wildcats- The patch work squad that Arizona has been playing with of late will welcome the return of two starters tonight as they host Southern Cal. Starting point guard Kadeem Allen and forward Dusan Ristic are both back tonight. This is much needed for a team that won Saturday over Washington 76-68 with their bench scoring only two points. USC has had an impact player return to action as 6-10 Bennie Boatwright has averaged 17 points since getting back into the action. Arizona won the first meeting 73-66 as the Trojans were without Boatwright and the Wildcats 7-0 center Lauri Markkanen put up 23 points. This time out he will be defended. Take USC!

Wisconsin at Ohio State 9:00 ET

Buckeyes (+) over Badgers- Ohio State who is 5-10 in conference play will finish the season below .500 in Big Ten action for the first time in Thad Matta's 13 years in Columbus. These two clubs met in Madison last month and the Badgers who have won the last three games in the series crushed the Buckeyes 89-66 who have dropped three straight and 10 of their last 15 are under coach Matta Ohio State is an astounding 37-9 straight-up and 33-13 ATS in home games when avenging a loss in the same season. Take OHIO STATE!   

Oregon at California 9:00 ET

Golden Bears (+) over Ducks- No. 6 Oregon has been a buzz-saw just cutting up Pac-12 opponents winning their last three and eight of their last 10 both straight-up and ATS. The Ducks are now just one-game behind Arizona. California won seven of eight before dropping their last two and were dismantled by the Ducks 86-63 in Eugene last month and are looking to repeat last year's 83-63 home win over the Ducks. Even though Oregon is 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games overall they are just 4-11 ATS in their last 15 meetings. Revenge is sweet...take CALIFORNIA! 

Minnesota at Maryland 8:30 ET

Golden Gophers (+) over Terrapins- I remember the first encounter between these two this season, as I posted the Gophers (-4) at home on a Saturday and the Terps won outright 85-78. Minnesota has won five in-a-row since and now play as an underdog on the road where they are 6-4 straight-up and 7-3 ATS. Maryland who is 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games overall has dominated this series winning six of the seven meetings all-time. The young coach Richard Pitino preaches defense and has the Gophers' who lead the Big Ten and rank second nationally in blocks per game lead by Reggie Lynch at 3.1 per game. In a revenge spot and because this line is way-low according to the power ratings...take MINNESOTA!

Duke at Syracuse 7:00 ET

Orange (+) over Blue Devils- Talk about a roller coaster season but Duke has now won seven straight after losing three-of-four without coach Mike Krzyzewski who was out with back issues. Grayson Allen had to be disciplined and the Devils struggled. Syracuse meanwhile is on a 3-game slide as coach Jim Boeheim meeting for just the eighth time with Duke holding a 4-3 series lead with the Orange winning 64-62 in Durham last season. A number of trends that can not be ignored are that the Blue Devils are just 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games overall and 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 road games while Syracuse is 7-1 ATS in their last eight home games. Take the ORANGE! 

Indiana at Iowa 9:00 ET

Hoosiers (+) over Hawkeyes- Two of the more disappointing Big Ten cagers who will most likely end up in the NIT or one of the 'other' circus tournaments face off meetings for the only time (baring playoffs) this season. Both clubs enter this fray on losing streaks with the Hoosiers on a four-game slide and the Hawkeyes have dropped their last three. Indiana has actually lost six of their last seven after losing 75-74 at Minnesota but have won their last two trips to Iowa City and have won five of the last six meetings. Finally, Iowa is 6-16 ATS in their last 22 Big Ten contests. Take INDIANA!

Northwestern at Illinois 8:00 ET

Illini (+) Wildcats- northwestern has already set school records for wins in a single season and are bearing down on their first NCAA Tournament berth. The Wildcats fell Illinois two weeks ago 68-61 and are just 2-11 straight-up in the last 13 meetings. The fact that the public is expecting good things for Northwestern and there is a good chance they will be disappointed as the underdog is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Illinois is 10-5 straight-up at home and the beat-goes-on here. Take ILLINI!

N.C. State at Georgia Tech 8:00 ET

Wolfpack (+) over Yellow Jackets- Since defeating Duke in Durham 84-82 the Wolfpack have dropped seven straight both straight-up and ATS with those losses by an average of 17 points. Georgia Tech who was expected to be on the low end of the ACC race has won six of seven ACC home games and are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Coach Mike Gottfried will be replaced at the end of the season as State is 1-8 ATS in their last nine on the road and already lost at home 86-76 to Tech but the road team is 13-3-2 ATS in the last 18 meetings. Take N.C. STATE!

Iowa State at Texas Tech 9:00 ET

Red Raiders over Cyclones- Iowa State comes rolling into Lubbock with three straight wins and four of the last five while Tech has dropped three of four and six of their last nine. The Red Raiders lost in Ames 63-56 and has dropped six of the last eight meetings and yet the are favored here. Not, because they are 1-7 on the road but because they are 15-2 straight-up at home. Cyclones have Baylor up next and might be surprised the Tech's aggression. 'We' might have some 'company' on this one but its got to be...TEXAS TECH!   

Boston College at Florida State 7:00 ET

Seminoles (-) over Eagles- This is a matter of the 'beat-goes-on' or a 'the buck stops here.' No. 18 Florida State has dropped their last two and I know that they were played on the road because they are undefeated at home. Yep, a perfect 16-0 and after these two road losses they host a team that hasn't won on the road this season. Boston College is 0-6 in true road games and 1-9 overall. Not that is matter with this situation bit the home team is 5-2-1 ATS in ACC meetings. The Seminoles can name the margin its just a matter if the really want too. I think they do! Take FLORIDA STATE!  

Miami-FL at Virginia 7:00 ET

Cavaliers (-) over Hurricanes- Come-on, what gives with these Cavaliers? Not only are they getting beat in big games but they are getting killed night after night. Virginia has dropped their last three and four-of-five both straight-up and ATS but that doesn't look as bad as the Hurricanes going 6-15 ATS in their last 21 games overall. As a matter of fact except for this current bad run the Cavaliers are 14-6-1 ATS in their last 21 home games. Miami comes win winning their last two and they have won four-of-five and yet they opened a double-digit dog. It seems too easy...We could be 'caught chasing' as the Cavs are the play again. Take VIRGINIA! 

Michigan at Minnesota 7:00 ET

Gophers over Wolverines- The nation attention is on Michigan as they look to impress the NCAA selection committee, they have won their last three games defeating Michigan State, Indiana and Wisconsin while Minnesota has won their last four as well. The Gophers are 14-3 at home this season while the Wolverines are just 1-6 straight-up in true road games. Although, Michigan has won 13 of the last 14 meetings it's Minnesota's time today. Take the GOPHERS! 

Syracuse at Georgia Tech 6:30 ET

Yellow Jackets (+) over Orange- Two coaches on the opposite side of the spectrum face off in Atlanta where first-year coach Josh Pastner will have his Yellow Jackets ready for veteran coach Jim Boeheim who is at his 21st year at Syracuse. Georgia Tech plays three of their final five games at home where they are 13-3 while the visiting Orange are just 2-7 ATS on the road. Tech is 8-2 Ats in their last eight games overall and 7-2 ATS in their last nine games as an underdog. Take GEORGIA TECH!

Maryland at Wisconsin 1:00 ET

Badgers (-) over Terrapins- We have two top rated team meetings here with No. 23 Maryland visiting No. 10 Wisconsin. The Badgers are a 'heavy' favorite here and have lost their last two are still in the 3-way tie for the Big Ten lead with the Terps and Purdue. Both Wisconsin's losses came without leading scorer senior guard Bronson Koenig who practiced Friday and Saturday and is set to return Sunday. Maryland has been an excellent play of the road going 7-1 ATS in their last eight and are 12-3 ATS in their last 17 games overall but the home team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings. Today after consecutive losses the Badgers will be ready at home. Take WISCONSIN!

Virginia at North Carolina 8:15 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Tar Heels- Virginia enters this contest in-need as they have dropped their last three and a 3-game fall would be disastrous after losing to Virginia Tech in overtime and to Duke 65-55. The Cavaliers are still No. 1 in the nation in scoring defense 56 points per but they have to win somewhere and this is a big opportunity for them. I understand North Carolina is 20-8 ATS in their last 28 home games and the home team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings but I believe I have better stuff on the other side. Here it is; Virginia is 23-7 in their last 30 games as a road underdog including 11-1 ATS in the ACC and the Cavs are 8-1 ATS as a conference road dog with revenge. The closer is that the Heels have Louisville up next and sandwiched after NC State they are 5-15 ATS. Take VIRGINIA!  

Mississippi at Arkansas 6:00 ET

Rebels (+) over Razorbacks- Arkansas is returning home coming off their biggest win of the season as they took down No. 19 South Carolina 83-76 for their second consecutive road win. Even though the home team is 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 meetings Mississippi who also is off two wins is 21-7-2 ATS in the last 30 meetings. Mississippi has put together a high powered offense that averages 84.2 points a game and that will be enough tonight. Take the REBELS!  

Colorado at Oregon 3:00 ET

Buffaloes (+) over Ducks- I'm afraid to even look, I'm sure the stats on this game would favor Oregon heavily. Wait, a sec I'll check! Okay, the first thing that disturbs me is that the Buffs have already defeated the Ducks in Boulder 74-65 as a 7-point dog. Oh my goodness, I see that Oregon is 13-3 ATS in their last 16 overall and leads the NCAA with 41 straight home wins, 16-0 (10-6 ATS) this season and they have won seven of the last 11 meetings, but, there is some positive points for Colorado. The are playing their best ball right now have won six of their last seven and a win over No. 8 would help the Tourney chances.  

Illinois at Iowa 2:00 ET

Illini (+) over Hawkeyes- This is the second meeting of the season between these two rivals as Illinois as a 5-point favorite posted a 76-64 home win making the favorite 9-3-1 in the last 13 meetings. The Fighting Illini have dropped four of their last five contests with their lone win a road victory over Northwestern. Iowa who is 12-3 straight-up at home has dropped their last two and although they are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 home games they are 6-15 ATS in their last 21 Big Ten encounters. This one should go down to the final buzzer which means take the points...Take ILLINOIS!

Villanova at Seton Hall 12:30 ET

Pirates (+) over Wildcats- There is no question in my mind that Villanova is the best team in the Big East but, that doesn't mean that they are unbeatable as the Pirates know. In last season's Big East conference final they defeated the Wildcats 69-79 but the Cats have won 31-of-33 including a January victory over Seton Hall (shooting 29%) by 30 winning 76-46. The Pirates posted an impressive 87-81 win over Creighton on Wednesday (A-Play Megabucks winner) and are looking forward to avenge their earlier beating at home where they are 10-1. It seems that they like 'getting-up' for their Saturday TV games as they are 23-8-1 ATS. Cats on a 1-8 ATS bummer run. Take SETON HALL!   

Utah at Oregon 9:00 ET

Utes (+) over Ducks- I saw for myself just how powerful and explosive this Utah team can be as they played Arizona, UCLA and USC in their most recent road trip. Winning two of those contests bringing them to 11-2 ATS in their last 13 games overall and 35-16 ATS in their last 51 in Pac-12 play. These numbers conflict with the fact that Utah is 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight on the road but the Utes are 0-7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. It will be Utah's strong rebounding that will keep this one close. Take the UTES!

Wisconsin at Michigan 7:00 ET

Wolverines (+) over Badgers- Wisconsin has its 8-game winning streak snapped at home against Northwestern as the blew an 11-point half-time lead. The No. 10 Badgers are ranked 4th nationally in scoring defense (60.4) and has won seven of the last eight against Michigan as they seek their six straight win in the series. The Wolverines is 13-3 at home and will have strong crowd support tonight. Take MICHIGAN!

Duke at Virginia 9:00 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Blue Devils- Stat wise these two are about as even as you can get as they are both 8-4 in ACC action and ranked No. 15 and No. 14 with Duke getting the edge. The Blue Devils have won their last five with the return of Coach K while Virginia has dropped three of their last five including blowing a 14-point lead in their double-overtime loss to Virginia Tech on Sunday. The Cavaliers don't have huge offensive numbers but the lead the nation in scoring defense allowing just 55.1 points per game and are 14-5-1 ATS in their last 20 home games. Take VIRGINIA!  

North Carolina at North Carolina State 8:00 ET

Wolfpack (+) over Tar Heels- The last time these two played 'we' posted the Tar Heels and they responded with a 107-56 rout of State the largest margin of victory in series history. N.C. State has lost their last five both straight-up and ATS as well as 2-8 SU and ATS while the Tar Heels are 0-4 ATS in their last four and 1-5 ATS in their last six. NC has won 20 of the past 22 meetings and the favorite is 14-6 ATS in the last 20 meetings but are just 3-8-1 ATS on the road. It's a matter of recovering from the humiliating loss in the first meeting. Take N.C. STATE!

Creighton at Seton Hall 8:00 ET

Pirates (+) over Bluejays- No. 22 Creighton has managed to go 3-3 since their leader point guard Maurice Watson Jr. went down for the season including a 93-58 road win at DePaul the largest road margin in Big East history. Seton Hall returned four starters from last year's Big East tournament champions and leads the all-time series 10-5 including 6-3 as hosts. The Pirates are 9-1 straight-up at home and were caught looking ahead at St. Johns Saturday in a 78-70 setback. In a bounce-back here it's...SETON HALL!

Boise State at New Mexico 10:00 ET

Broncos (+) over Lobos- New Mexico is known for their strong home court (The Pit) but although they are 9-3 straight-up as hosts they are just 2-7 ATS. Boise State is 7-5 straight-up on the road and 7-4-1 ATS. The MWC plays most weekday games on Tuesday and here where the problems start for the Lobos as they are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 Tuesday games while the Broncos are 7-2 ATS on the same day. New Mexico has held a series advantage (8-3-1 ATS in last 11) but are not the same quality as previous seasons. Take BOISE STATE!

Penn State at Nebraska 9:00 ET

Cornhuskers (-) over Nittany Lions- Penn State is off two huge wins one of them over Ranked Maryland and now has two straight wins after dropping five of their previous six. The Lions have won three of the last four meetings but are 0-4 in Big Ten games in Lincoln and are 2-6 ATS in the last eight meetings. After starting 3-0 in conference play the Cornhuskers have dropped eight of nine but will regroup against a club 'high' off their recent wins. Take NEBRASKA!

Colorado State at Wyoming 9:00 ET

Rams (+) over Cowboys- Colorado State has won their last three and trails Mountain West leader Boise State by only a game in the loss column as they meetings Wyoming for the first time this season. The Cowboys have won the last five meetings both straight-up and ATS including an 84-66 pounding the last time they played here. The home team is 10-3 the last 13 meetings and the favorite (if there is one here) is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings. To counter this the Rams are 8-1 ATS in their last nine home games and get the cash here. Take COLORADO STATE! 

West Virginia at Kansas 9:00 ET

Mountaineers (+) over Jayhawks- The Jayhawks who are ranked No. 3 were given a No.1 seed and No. 2 overall seed by the first ever NCAA Championship Selection Committee preliminary release of March Madness bracket on Saturday although they are just 7-15 -1 ATS on the season. Meanwhile, West Virginia who posted an 85-69 win over Kansas in Morgantown looks to close the conference gap (2-games). The Mountaineers are 7-3 straight-up and 6-4 ATS on the road and will come up big here once again. Take WEST VIRGINIA! 

Louisville at Syracuse 7:00 ET

Cardinals (-) over Orange- Jim Boeheim is in his final season as Syracuse coach finishing his 41st year leading the Orange who are fighting back from a terrible start. So bad was the beginning of the season that Syracuse lost at home 93-60 against lowly St. Johns but haven't lost at home since. As a matter of fact the Orange are 14-2 overall at home and 9-2 ATS when playing as hosts. Louisville who has had difficulties keeping players on the court for various reasons welcomed the return of guard Quentin Snider leads the overall series 16-8. Take the CARDINALS! 

Baylor at Texas Tech 7:00 ET

Red Raiders (+) over Bears- The Baylor Bears win with tough defense and are 16-0 when scoring 70 points of more as they bring their 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 road games into Lubbock. Texas Tech is having one of their better seasons but have lost their last two contests including a one-point 80-79 loss to Kansas on Saturday. The Bears faithful were chanting 'We want Kansas' as they crushed TCU at home Saturday and that could be a problem. The Red Raiders opened the season 11-0 but have dropped five of their last six Big-12 games are 14-2 straight-up at home. With the Bears 'looking ahead' to Kansas on Saturday they get caught here. Take TEXAS TECH!

Virginia at Virginia Tech 6:30 ET

Cavaliers (-) over Hokies- The Cavaliers are in a tough spot here coming off a huge win over Louisville and a match-up with Duke up next. This would be a place for a letdown but their opponent here is in-state rival Virginia Tech. Virginia has dominated the series of late winning nine of the last 10 meetings including a home win 71-48 10 days ago. Although the Gobblers are 16-6 ATS in their last 22 home games and the home team is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings Virginia is 25-10-1 ATS in their last 36 games overall and Tech is just 54-90 all-time against the Cavs who rank first nationally in scoring defense allowing just 54 points per contest. Take VIRGINIA!  

Oregon at USC 10:30 ET

Trojans (+) over Ducks- I can't tell you how impressed I was with the Ducks when watching the first half of their game against UCLA on Thursday a game they blew after holding a 19-point lead. Oregon defeated the Trojans by 23 points in their first meetings in December but USC has added 6-11 power forward Bennie Boatwright who is back in the fold after missing eight weeks of the season. Since his return the Trojans have won their last five and are playing with confidence. Play the hot club...take USC!  

Gonzaga at St. Mary's 8:15 ET

Gaels (+) over Bulldogs- This is most likely to final hurdle for No. 1 Gonzaga if it intends to finish the regular season undefeated as their competition is meager at best after this encounter. The Bulldogs have won 10 of the past 12 meetings going 10-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings including a 79-56 home win a month ago. St. Mary's has won their last seven and is ranked second nationally in scoring defense (54.6) and are 13-1 straight-up at home. Take ST. MARY'S!  

Kansas at Texas Tech 2:00 ET

Red Raiders (+) over Jayhawks- No. 3 Kansas has had a number of close calls this season and one of them was against the Red Raiders when they came back from a 12-point deficit and won 74-71. The Jayhawks who have won 12 straight Big-12 titles leads the overall series 32-5 including the last 15 meetings and are 12-4 in Lubbock. Texas Tech is off a one-point loss to TCU and looks to rebound here as the home team is 19-7 ATS in the last 26 meetings. Take TEXAS TECH!  

Dayton at Rhode Island 7:00 ET

Rams (-) over Flyers- A pair of Atlantic-10 clubs that will most likely get an invite to the 'Big Dance' as it stands now who are both on winning steaks. Dayton has won their last three and Rhode Island their last four as they face-off in Kingston. The Rams are 11-1 straight-up at home going 7-4 ATS while the Flyers have gone 4-2 on the road. Dayton has already posted a 67-64 home win over the Rams in early January and now turn-about-is-fair-play. Take RHODE ISLAND!

Oregon at UCLA 10:00 ET

Bruins (-) over Ducks- The top two clubs in the Pac-12 face-off at Pauley Pavilion as UCLA host Oregon. The Ducks are off a total dismantling of then No. 5 Arizona Saturday night taking down the Wildcats 85-58 while the Bruins return home after a three game road trip. Oregon won the conference opener over UCLA 89-87 as these team have alternated home wins in the last six meetings. The Ducks are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 and 20-7 ATS in their last 27 against the Pac-12 while the Bruins are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 in conference play. Still, UCLA leads the nation with 22 assists per games and turnover ratio (1.8) and field goal percentage (53.5). Take UCLA! 

North Carolina at Duke 8:00 ET

Blue Devils (-) over Tar Heels- At first glance this contest looks to be all Tar Heels as Duke has struggled with distractions, injuries and a coach that has been sidelined with back issues. When looking at the trends we see the North Carolina is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 while Duke is 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games overall. Add that the underdog is 6-2 ATS in their past eight meetings and the road team is 19-7 ATS in the last 26 meetings. That all being noted Coach K is back and put his team on notice by not allowing them to wear their school colors. (letting them know he believes they are not worthy) Duke has won four of the last five meetings and the last four at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Take THE BLUE DEVILS! 

Purdue at Indiana 7:00 ET

Hoosiers (+) over Boilermakers- These two Indiana rivals are ready to rebound as that is the best asset for both clubs as the Hoosiers have a plus margin of 8.7 while Purdue is a plus 8.6. But, it may not be the 'big men' that make the difference here as Indiana's junior guard James Blackmon Jr. is expected to return after a three-game absence. While the Boilermakers are off a 73-72 road win at Maryland the Hoosiers were defeated by Wisconsin 60-55. Indiana is 13-2 at home while Purdue is just 3-3 in true road games. Take INDIANA!

California at Arizona State 11:00 ET

Sun Devils (+) over Golden Bears- California enters this game with a four-game winning streak but has been a money 'burner' for their backers as they are just 9-14 ATS. Arizona State is second in the Pac-12 in scoring (behind UCLA) and has three of the conferences top 10 scorers. Cal has won the last three meetings to even the all-time series at 40 but they are just 2-6 ATS in the last eight meetings. The Sun Devils also lead the league in fewest turnovers at 10.6 per game and make 10 3-pointers a game. Take ARIZONA STATE!

Fresno State at Wyoming 9:00 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Cowboys- The Mountain West delivers this winner with Wyoming hosting Fresno State in Laramie where they are 11-2 straight-up at home but yet just just 6-5 ATS. The Bulldogs have bite on the road as they are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 road games and 20-8 ATS in their last 28 games overall. These two met in Fresno in early January and the Bulldogs won easily 85-70 and are poised to do it again. Take FRESNO STATE!

Baylor at Oklahoma State 7:00 ET

Cowboys (+) over Baylor- A week ago Baylor was 20-1 and seeking a No. 1 ranking and then they played Kansas and Kansas State. The Bears lost both those contests and now their confidence has been shaken. Oklahoma State started the Big-12 season 0-6 in conference but have roared back and won four straight in conference action and their last five overall. The Bears are a tough cookie on the road going 14-3-1 ATS in their last 18 away from home but, the home team is 14-5-2 ATS in the last 21 meetings and the underdog id 5-2-2 ATS in the last nine meetings. In a surprise it's the Cowboys. Take OKLAHOMA STATE! 

Texas Tech at Texas Christian 9:00 ET

Red Raiders (+) over Horned Frogs- Hard to believe that TCU has set a school record with just five conference wins but at 16-7 they are having one of their best seasons on record. Texas Tech just ended a three-game Big-12 losing streak defeating Oklahoma on Saturday. Texas Christian is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 home games and Texas Tech is 1-5 straight-up on the road so the advantage seem to be in Fort Worth. But now so fast my friend take note that the road team is 11-3 ATS in the last 14 meetings. Take TEXAS TECH! 

Vanderbilt at Arkansas 8:30 ET

Commodores (+) over Razorbacks- Arkansas was shocked Saturday with their loss to cellar dweller Missouri and looks to rebound here against Vanderbilt. These two met two weeks ago and the Razorbacks rallied from a 15-point deficit to post a 71-70 victory. Vanderbilt has lost their last four against the 'Backs and are 11-22 lifetime. The Commodores leading scorer Matthew Fisher-Davis has recovered from the flu and will once again be a force. Take VANDERBILT!

Illinois at Northwestern 8:00 ET

Illini (+) over Wildcats- Northwestern dropped to 7-3 in the Big Ten last time out as they were out-classed by Purdue 80-59 while Illinois lost at home to Minnesota their sixth loss in their last seven games. The Wildcats were without leading scorer Scottie Lindsey who had the flu but should return here but him stamina might be lacking. There are a pair of conflicting trends surrounding this contest as Northwestern is 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games while the road team is 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings. The Illini are 0-5 straight-up in true road games with year and it's time for that to change. Take ILLINOIS!

Maryland at Penn State 6:00 ET

Nittany Lions (+) over Terrapins- Maryland is off a home loss to Purdue 73-72 on Saturday which dropped them to one-game behind Wisconsin for the Big-Ten top spot. The Terrapins have won the last four meetings and they are 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 contests while Penn State has lost five of their last six including a home loss Saturday 70-68 to lowly Rutgers. Maryland is 6-0 in true road games but will be tested here by the Lions. Take PENN STATE!

Kansas at Kansas State 9:00 ET

Wildcats (+) over Jayhawks- Want to talk about a one-side rivalry, this series is one of the most lopsided in all of college basketball among 'majors.' Kansas has won their last four match-ups and leads the all-time series 192-95 winning 53 of the last 58 meetings. The No. 2 Jayhawks had their 54-game home winning streak stop as the fell to Iowa State Saturday after blowing a 14-point halftime lead. Meanwhile Kansas State was upsetting Baylor 56-54 and are looking for a small measure of revenge off their first meeting a 90-88 loss as Jayhawks guard Mykhailiuk blatantly traveled on his buzzer-beating layup that was not called. This time it's the Wildcats. Take KANSAS STATE! 

Louisville at Virginia 7:00 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Cardinals- Both these clubs are 7-3 in Atlantic Coast action and are tied for third in conference with the Cardinals winning their last three by an average margin of 34 points while the Cavaliers have dropped two of their last three. Both clubs have been money makers as Louisville is 15-5-1 ATS in their last 16 contests and Virginia is 13-5-1 ATS in their last 19 home games and 6-2 ATS in their last eight games overall. The Cavaliers have won four of the five meetings since Louisville joined the ACC. Take VIRGINIA!

Texas A&M at Louisiana State 9:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Aggies- There was a time when LSU basketball carried some huge names including Pete Maravich, Shaquille O'Neal and recently Ben Simmons but right now they are struggling for wins. The Tigers enter Saturday night contest on an eight-game losing streak and were totally embarrassed last time out by South Carolina 88-63. The Aggies have dropped their last two but have a home win over the Tigers 92-62 when the shot 56.7% and out-rebounded them 47-32 in the first meeting. Aside from that Texas A&M is just 3-6 in the SEC and are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 conference games. Take LSU!

Xavier at Creighton 3:00 ET

Musketeers (+) over Blue Jays- Both these ranked clubs lost their most valuable asset when their point guards when down for the season. No. 22 Creighton lost the nation's leading assist man in Maurice Watson Jr. who was injured in the first meeting a72-67 win while No. 25 Xavier lost Edmond Summer their points guard two weeks later. The Blue Jays were cruising along until the Watson injury and dropped two straight before getting their 'legs' and winning their last two. Xavier meanwhile has won their last two but are 1-6 ATS in their last seven. Today they play close. Take the MUSKETEERS!

Purdue at Maryland 12:00 ET

Boilermakers (-) over Terrapins- Now, you see what I mean? Here is No. 17 Maryland (20-2) playing at home and hosting No. 24 Purdue (18-5)and they are an underdog. Now, really, doesn't that make any sense? Let me look closer and I find that the Boilermakers are just 2-3 in true road games while the Terrapins have won seven straight and are 11-2 straight-up at home. Add that Maryland is 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall and last 11 in the Big Ten. These 'number' are so one sided for the Terps and they are getting points at home. There is something fishy going on here. If this game was in prime time it would be the 'Play of the Day.' The fact that is starts so early keeps me from going ALL-IN! Take PURDUE. 

Gonzaga at Brigham Young 11:00 ET

Cougars (+) over Bulldogs- No. 1 Gonzaga has won a school record 22 straight and have won by an average margin of 23.8 points and have won by 30 or more eight times. BYU meanwhile is hosting a No.1 team for the first time in school history and are 12-1 at home. The Bulldogs lead the series 10-5, are 2-1 in Provo and are 7-1 ATS in their last eight road games while the Cougars are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 Thursday games. A tough spot for the Bulldogs as BYU will be ready. Take the COUGARS! 

Michigan State at Nebraska 7:00 ET

Cornhuskers over Spartans- Nebraska snapped a five-game losing streak with a an upset win over Purdue last time out and looks to make it back to .500 with a win here, while Michigan State is off a win against rival Michigan but already has four Big Ten losses. The Spartans will be without their big man Gavin Schilling who is out for the season with a knee injury. The Cornhuskers Tai Webster is the only Big Ten player to score in double figures in every game to day. Take NEBRASKA! 

Northwestern at Purdue 7:30 ET

Boilermakers (-) over Wildcats- Here comes Northwestern into West Lafayette with six straight wins and the best start (18-4) in school history. To find them a double-digit underdog is a telling tell. You see Purdue has won seven of the past 10 meetings and they are 39-5 lifetime at Mackey Area against the Wildcats. Despite their recent loss and inferior record Purdue is 11-4-1 ATS in Big Ten action and 8-1 ATS in their last nine at home. Lay-it...take PURDUE!

Marquette at St. John's 7:00 ET

Red Storm (+) over Golden Eagles- The three-point shots should be hoisted at a record pace as Marquette is first in 3-point field goal percentage and last in 3-point defense in the Big East. The Golden Eagles knocked off then No.1 and undefeated Villanova last week and then when out and were beaten at home by Providence. Marquette has won three straight in the series and is 12-5 against the Storm since joining the Big East. St. Johns who is 6-4 at home has shown a big improvement since last season and get it done here tonight. Take ST. JOHNS! 

Georgia Tech at Clemson 7:00 ET

Tigers (-) over Yellow Jackets- Wow, is something up here? Georgia Tech has defeated three ranked teams this season and is 5-4 in ACC play while Clemson who is 2-6 in ACC and one less win then the Yellow Jackets and yet the Tigers are double-digit favorites. Tech has defeated the Tigers 75-63 already this season where they had a 40-29 rebounding advantage and I see a huge revenge turn-around here. Take CLEMSON!

Wisconsin at Illinois 9:00 ET

Illini (+) over Badgers- Wisconsin as usual is at the top of the Big Ten once again tied with Maryland for the conference lead. The Badgers have dominated Illinois in head-to-head action going 15-5-1 ATS while Illinois has dropped 19 of their last Big Ten games. Wisconsin has won five in-a-row and 14 of its last 15 games with four straight road wins. Even though the trends are one sided with the favorite going 20-7-1 ATS in the last 28 meetings the dog is the side here. Take ILLINOIS!  

Maryland at Ohio State 7:00 ET

Buckeyes (+) over Terrapins- After a two-point (67-65) loss at home to Nebraska the Terrapins have reeled off six straight wins and covers and are tie for the Big Ten lead with Wisconsin. The former ACC club is now 19-2 on the season which equals the best start in school history and has won four straight in conference for the first time since 2006-07. Ohio State is 11-3 at home and here we have them favored against a Top-20 team. Take BUCKEYES! 

Iowa at Rutgers 7:00 ET

Scarlet Knights (+) over Hawkeyes- Two of the Big Ten basketball bottom feeders meet in Piscataway as cellar dwelling Rugters (1-8 in Big-10) host Iowa. The Scarlet Knights opened the season 11-1 but have dropped nine of 10 since conference play began. Iowa ended a tree-game losing streak with an impressive 85-72 home win over Ohio State Saturday and are 4-0 lifetime over Rutgers. But, the Hawkeyes are 0-5 in true road games this year and are just 4-13 ATS in their last 17 Big Ten contests. Take RUTGERS!

Oklahoma State at Oklahoma 9:00 ET

Sooners (+) over Cowboys- Two teams that are moving in different directions meet as these two Big-12 and intra-state rivals clash. The Cowboys have now won three in-a-row defeating Arkansas 99-71 while the Sooners have dropped their last three including an 84-52 pasting at the hands of Florida on Saturday. Although Oklahoma has lost their last three they are 5-2-1 ATS overall and are 9-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings with Oklahoma State including a 71-49 win the last time they played in the Lloyd Noble Center. Take the SOONERS!

Duke at Notre Dame 7:00 ET

Blue Devils (+) over Fighting Irish- The Duke Blue Devils just don't seem to meet the standard that they have set for themselves this season. The Grayson Allen incidents and coach K being is sidelined with back issues have cause distractions. The Devils trailed by 10 points with four minutes to go before a late rally helped them overcome Wake Forest for just their third win in their last five games. Notre Dame who has lost their last two games has won the last three meetings but are 7-20 all-time in this series. Take DUKE!

Michigan at Michigan State 1:00 ET

Wolverines (+) over Spartans- These rivals have been disappointing so far and both will need a major surge to assure themselves a spot in the 'Big Dance.' Headed in opposite directions Michigan has won three of their last four including a 90-60 win over Indiana on Thursday while the Spartans have dropped their last three. There is a huge difference is experience between these two clubs as Michigan State has four freshman in the line-up while the Wolverines with senior leadership is committing just 9.2 turnovers a game, the best in the country and they shoot 78% from the free throw line (6th in nation). Take MICHIGAN!

Ohio State at Iowa 8:00 ET

Buckeyes (+) over Hawkeyes- Neither of these clubs have been very impressive so far although the Buckeyes started 0-4 in Big Ten play but have rebounded (notice how I slipped that in) winning four of their last five while Iowa has dropped their last three and that can be explained by the injury to the Big Ten leading scorer Peter Jok. These two are so bad that the only trends that can be dealt with gives no advantage anywhere. Listen to these stats: Iowa is 3-13 ATS in last Big-Ten, they are 7-20-1 last 28 overall and on the other side OSU is 9-26-1 ATS in their last 36 road games. Pick you poison. Mine is the BUCKEYES!  

Duke at Wake Forest 3:00 ET
Demon Deacons (+) over Blue Devils- Oh boy, I mean OH BOY what happens here if the Demon Deacons just go out and win this game. I mean, I can't wait for the story lines and panic that will send the nation's leading psychiatrist's to evaluate the Blue Devils problems. Try these, Duke is 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine road games and 3-7 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Now, when these schools were formed Wake Forest was a ministry and their prayers will be answered against 'Devils' even if they are Blue. Take WAKE FOREST! 

Maryland at Minnesota 2:15 ET

Golden Gophers (-) over Terrapins- A major swing in different directions here as No. 23 Maryland comes rolling into Minneapolis with five straight wins while Minnesota has dropped their last four and are 3-5 in Big Ten play. The Terrapins (6-1) are in a tie at the top of the conference with Wisconsin while the Gophers went just 2-16 in Big Ten action last season. Minnesota must get back to playing tough defense and that happens at home where the Gophers are 12-2 more then it does on the road. Take MINNESOTA! 

Florida at Oklahoma 2:00 ET

Sooners (+) over Gators- This SEC/Big-12 match-up would raise some eyebrows if the Sooners weren't entering this contest 8-1 while the No. 25 Gators are 15-5. Oklahoma has dropped their last two and nine of their last 11 as their last three games involved in three overtime periods. Oklahoma's Lon Kruger coached at Florida and defeated Oklahoma in 1995 and now he will turn the trick with the Sooners. He would love for the Sooners to continue their recent dominance over the SEC going 7-2 ATS. Take OKLAHOMA! 

North Carolina at Miami-FL 1:00 ET

Hurricanes (+) over Tar Heels- The Miami Hurricanes 13-6 record doesn't appear so bad until you check them out against the points and they are a miserable 4-13 76% losers. As a matter of fact the Canes have been a 'money-burner' for a while going 1-8 ATS in their last nine ATS and 5-18 ATS in their last 23 overall. North Carolina comes to the Magic City winning their last seven and defeated the Canes the last two meetings including a 96-71 thrashing in their last meeting but, Miami had won the previous four. It's time for them to do it again! Take MIAMI-FL!  

Dayton at VCU 9:00 ET

Rams (-) over Flyers- These two approach this contest each with 15 wins but when you check their record ATS there is a wide schism. Dayton at 15-4 straight-up and off three straight-up wins is 11-6 ATS while VCU is a not so great 7-9 ATS on the season. The Flyers are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games but the Rams are 9-1 at home and are 22-9 ATS in their last 31 Atlantic-10 games. Take VIRGINIA COMMONWWEALTH!

Oregon at Utah 10:30 ET

Utes (+) over Ducks- No. 10 Oregon comes into Salt Lake City riding a 16-game winning streak winning their last six games by an average of 24.3 points. The Ducks lead the nation in blocked shots (7.7 per game) and are undefeated (7-0) in Pac-12 action. Yet the Ducks are underdogs here. One reason may be that the home team is 6-1-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. The Duck's best player Dillon Brooks missed Saturday's win over Cal and his effectiveness is in question even if he plays. Take UTAH! 

Indiana at Michigan 9:00 ET

Wolverines (-) over Hoosiers- Indiana seems to have 'righted' the ship so to speak with three straight wins as they enter Ann Arbor 0-5 ATS in their last five road games. The Hoosiers have dominated the series going 19-7-1 ATS in the last 27 meetings while Michigan is going 3-9 ATS in their last 12 in the Big Ten. The problem for Indiana is injures to a pair of 6'8'' sophomores which forces them to go deeper into a weak bench. Take MICHIGAN!

Xavier at Cincinnati 7:00 ET

Bearcats (-) over Musketeers- These two cross-town rivals will both be headed to the Big Dance but tonights battle is one of the more important games on their respective schedules. Xavier has won three straight in the series and seven of the last nine meetings but the Bearcats lead the series 49-34 and the favorite is 6-2 ATS in the last eight. Cincinnati, meanwhile has won 10 in-a-row and 19 straight home games while Xavier is just 1-4 in true road games. Take CINCINNATI!

UCLA at USC 11:00 ET

Trojans (+) over Bruins- UCLA may be ranked No. 7 in the nation but they just lost at home to Arizona and are just 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games in the Pac-12. This trend in counter-balanced by the fact the USC is 1-7 ATS in their last eight home games. As far as head-to-head action is concerned the Trojans swept all three meetings last season. Steve Alford the coaches son has been beaten off the dribble by quicker point guards and USC has enough of that to bring this one down to the final buzzer. Take SOUTHERN CAL! 

Texas A&M at Mississippi 7:30 ET

Aggies (+) over Rebels- The 'line' on this game has caused me to stop as Mississippi is at home and on a two-game winning streak and with a better record then the Aggies but they are favored by less then a bucket. Upon further review I we see that Texas A&M is 1-8 ATS in their last nine and are 0-3 in true road games. So, why is this 'line' so low. This just 'does't make sense,' and I'll see if Vegas knows what its doing. Take TEXAS A&M! 

Connecticut at South Florida 7:00 ET

Huskies (-) over Huskies- Sort of hard to see Connecticut favored by so much in a conference game on the road. Considering the Huskies are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games overall and 4-9 ATS in their last 13 meetings it is surprising to be such a high 'number.' UConn has defeated the Bulls six straight times who have lost their last seven and haven't won since Christmas. Take CONNECTICUT!

Wake Forest at Syracuse 8:00 ET

Demon Deacons (+) over Orange- Wake Forest has been good to 'us' winning the last two times out with 'our' backing and blessings with wins over Miami 96-79 and NC State 93-88. Syracuse meanwhile continues to flounder getting pasted in their last two at North Carolina 85-68 and Notre Dame 84-66. These two met once last season at Wake Forest where the Orange were very rude ponding the Deacons 83-55. Wake will exorcise their Demons tonight. Take WAKE FOREST!

Virginia at Notre Dame 8:00 ET

Cavaliers over Fighting Irish- So, here is No. 15 Notre Dame undefeated at home (12-0) where they are 14-5 ATS in their last 19 games and here they are a 1-point favorite. Now, Virginia No. 16 is no slouch ranking #1 in team defense allowing just 53.4 points per, while the Irish lead the nation in free-throw percentage (82.8%) and assist-TO ratio at 1.85. Even though Notre Dame is 14-5 ATS in their last 19 home games the Cavaliers are 21-9-1 ATS in their last 31 games overall. A pair of excellent coaches in Mike Brey and Tony Bennett but, the 'numbers' tell the tale. Take VIRGINIA!

Kansas at West Virginia 7:00 ET

Mountaineers (-) over Jayhawks- West Virginia has proven that they can play with the big boys as is evidenced by their pounded of then-No. 1 Baylor on this floor 14 days ago. Since then the Mountaineers have gone 0-3 ATS losing the last two straight-up. Tonight Kansas enters Morgantown 18-1 and ranked No.1 (As did Baylor) The Jayhawks have been over-valued the whole season as they are just 6-11 ATS on the year and just 2-6 ATS in their last eight. In this series the home team is 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings. All the 'mojo' tell me...WEST VIRGINIA!

Oklahoma at Texas 9:00 ET

Sooners (+) over Longhorns- Wow, how far have the Longhorn fallen? Not, only in football but in basketball as well. Both clubs are off losses but Texas under Shaka Smart has dropped their last five while the Sooners under Lon Kruger committed 25 turnovers is their double-overtime loss to Iowa State blowing a 19-point lead and look to regroup tonight. Oklahoma has won six of the last eight meetings but is just 2-3 in Austin the last five seasons. With both clubs struggling and most likely out of the running for the Big Dance I'll go with the better coaching. Take OKLAHOMA!  

N.C. State at Duke 7:00 ET

Blue Devils (-) over Wolfpack- The Blue Devils may have had the turning point of their season in the second half against Miami last time out as they trailed Miami-Fl by 11 as they headed into the locker room. Duke came out on a 31-4 run in the second half and put the Hurricanes away 70-58. NC State has had their problems at Cameron Indoor Stadium as they have lost 16 straight there last winning in 1995. The Devils will control this game with their defense something the Pack know little about. Take DUKE!

Texas Christian at Oklahoma State 7:00 ET

Horned Frogs (+) over Cowboys- TCU jumped out to a 14-3 record but have run into some difficulty winning now that Big-12 Conference play has started as they have four of their five losses come in league play. The Horned Frogs had their worst shooting game of the season last time out in their loss to TCU while Oklahoma State was shooting 55% as they routed Texas Tech 83-64 posting their first Big-12 win (1-6) of the season. The Cowboys have won 12 of the last 14 meetings with the clubs splitting both games the past two years. This time around it's TEXAS CHRISTIAN!

Virginia Tech at Clemson 6:30 ET

Tigers (-) over Hokies- It looks like the same old story for the Clemson Tigers as they start fast and dominated early season 'cupcakes' and then get pounded once the season starts. The Tigers were 11-2 and now has run into dive straight ACC losses losing to four ranked teams including a 32-point loss to Louisville last time out. Virginia Tech who leads the all-time series 16-15 have lost three of five and will fall short here. Take CLEMSON!

Northwestern at Ohio State 12:00 ET

Wildcats over Buckeyes- Ohio State started their Big Ten season with four straight losses but have rebounded with a pair of wins over Michigan State and Nebraska. Every body seems to be making a big deal with Northwestern chances of making it to the Big Dance. They have won three straight and are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 in the Big Ten and 15-1 ATS in their last 20 overall. Wildcats are up and coming and are a go-with today. Take NORTHWESTERN! 

St. Johns at Seton Hall 12:00 ET

Red Storm (+) over Pirates- Seton Hall is going through a rough patch right now losing three straight on the road and return home to face an improving St. Johns club. The fact of the matter is that the Pirates 12-3 start was loaded with underlings but have defeated the Red Storm in nine of the last 10 at home. The home team 17-5 ATS in the last 22 and Seton Hall is 16-7 ATS against the Big East. Sometimes more then just a matter of numbers. Take ST. JOHNS!

Baylor at Texas Christian 8:00 ET

Horned Frogs (+) over Bears- This is a hard call, not because its a tough decision but because I know just how good these Baylor Bear really are. But, under first year coach Jamie Dixon the Horned Frogs have made a major turn around this season and are 11-1 (8-2 ATS) at home with their only loss to No. 1 Kansas and look to end a nine-game losing streak to Baylor. TCU has already passed last season's win total (14-12) and have Vladimir Brodziansky to deal with the Bear's 7'0” Jo Lual-Acull jr who leads the Big-12 in blocks. Take TCU! 

West Virginia at Kansas State 6:00 ET

Wildcats (+) over Mountaineers- West Virginia posted their biggest win of the year for 'us' when the defeated then-No.1 Baylor but have had difficulties putting it together since as they are coming off a double-overtime loss at Oklahoma. Kansas State meanwhile posted their first road Big-12 win against Oklahoma State last time out and have a balance line-up that has five players scoring in double figures. The Mountaineers weakness is free throw shooting an on the road in a hostile environment they will continue to struggle. Take KANSAS STATE!

Marquette at Creighton 2:30 ET

Golden Eagles (+) over Bluejays- No. 7 Creighton (18-1) will be playing their first game without their floor leader Maurice Watson Jr. the nation's leader in assists (8.5 per game) as he Tore his ACL against Xavier on Monday. The Bluejays are on a five-game win streak and facing one of the more improved clubs in the Big East in Marquette. The Golden Eagles are second in the conference in scoring (83.7 points) while Creighton is first. The trend number in this contest are at such contrast it must be noted that Marquette is a meager 22-46-1 ATS in their last 69 Big East games while the Bluejays are 23-9-1 in their last 33 conference games. Still, the teams have split their four meetings the past two seasons and the points have great value because of the impact of Watson being out for the rest of the season. Take the GOLDEN EAGLES!

Iowa State at Oklahoma 2:00 ET

Sooners over Cyclones- A week ago the idea of this game opening a virtual pick-em would have be a stretch but after the Cyclones consecutive losses to Kansas and TCU and Oklahoma's wins over Texas Tech and West Virginia it looks right. After a terrible start Lon Kruger's club have responded with the return senior guard Jordan Woodward. His leadership is needed with a club that has seven freshman and four sophomores and is improving each time out. Playing with confidence the Sooners get the home win. Take OKLAHOMA! 

Wake Forest at N.C. State 2:00 ET

Demon Deacons (+) over Wolfpack- A pair of bottom feeders in the ACC both enter the fray with 2-4 conference records and coming off victories. The thing that caught my attention about this game is the 'price,' as a team like NC State with a better record that beat a then-No. 21 Virginia Tech by 26 points and is now at home against a team that they dominate going 21-8-1 ATS in their last 30 meetings did not open the favor. It smell fishy. Take WAKE FOREST!  

Memphis at Houston 9:00 ET

Cougars (+) over Tigers- The two highest scoring teams in the AAC will have a shoot-out in Houston where the Cougars who average 76 points in conference play will host the AAC's highest scoring crew (79-points per) Memphis. Both clubs enter with 13-5 records also bring the two highest scoring players in the AAC with Houston's Rob Gray (20.8) and the Tigers Dedric Lawson. This appears to be a 'strong' number and in a run and shot contest I'm take the home team. Take HOUSTON!

Clemson at Louisville 9:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Cardinals- The Clemson Tigers have lost their last four including home losses in overtime to North Carolina and a Saturday defeat to Virginia. No. 11 Louisville have won three straight and are 10-1 at home but will be without point guard Quentin Snider who runs the offense. The Tigers will be ready to roar looking to stop their losing streak and will be all-in here. Take CLEMSON!

Arizona at USC 9:00 ET

Trojans (+) over Wildcats- No.13 Arizona is on a 10-game winning streak as they travel to LA to engage Southern California. The Wildcats are 5-0 in Pac-12 play while USC who is 16-3 with all three losses coming from conference opponents. The last time these two met the game went four-overtimes as USC pulled out a 103-101 victory. Even though the Trojans are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 Pac-12 games the home team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take SOUTHERN CAL!  

Kansas State at Oklahoma State 9:00 ET

Cowboys (-) over Wildcats-This game caught my attention when I saw a 10-7 team (Oklahoma State) that is 0-5 in conference play and has lost five in-a-row come up the favorite against a 13-4 team in Kansas State. Checking on the history of these two opponents I find that although the Wildcats hold a 78-52 all-time series advantage the Cowboys have won 15 of the last 16 played in Gallagher-Iba Arena. New Oklahoma State coach Brad Underwood a former player and assistant coach at K. State will be facing his alma mater for the first time and will have his troupe ready to post their first Big-12 win. Take OKLAHOMA STATE! 

Miami-Fl at Wake Forest 8:00 ET

Demon Deacons (+) over Hurricanes- There is no question about the kinda of job that Jim Larranaga has done at Miami-Fl with the Hurricanes becoming a NCAA tournament team annually. They are coming off a dominating 72-46 pounding of Pittsburgh while Wake Forest has dropped their last two contests but are a positive 6-2 at home. Miami has struggled of late going 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games overall and are 0-2 on the road against the Deacons under Larranaga and only 1-8 overall in Winston-Salem. Take WAKE FOREST!

Indiana at Penn State 7:00 ET

Nittany Lions (+) over Hoosiers- Penn State basketball is in uncharted waters with their Big Ten winning record (3-2) as coach Patrick Chambers has his young squad playing a hard aggressive game where they won and held Michigan State to 63 points and Minnesota to 50. I saw Indiana coach Tom Crean go ballistic when a Hoosiers player tried an Alley-Oop at the buzzer while leading by 19. It was a disgraceful self-serving display that shows me he is having difficulty controlling no only himself but his players as well. Take PENN STATE!  

Tennessee at Mississippi 9:00 ET

Rebels (+) over Volunteers- Something has got to give here as Tennessee snapped a three-game losing streak with a win over Vanderbilt on Saturday while the struggling Rebels have dropped their last two and are only 1-4 in SEC play. Mississippi lost the game to South Carolina Saturday 67-56 and leading scorer Deandre Burnett with a high ankle sprain. Coach Andy Kennedy challenged his team calling them 'soft'...they will respond against the Vols with confidence know they won both meetings last year and five of the last six. Take MISSISSIPPI!

Kansas at Iowa State 9:00 ET

Cyclones (+) over Jayhawks- The #2 Kansas Jayhawks have won 16 straight after an opening season loss 103-99 to Indiana and now travel to Ames, Iowa to play the struggling Cyclones. Iowa State is off a lost at TCU Saturday after their two starting guards scored a combines 14 points on 5-for-25 shooting. They might have got caught up in looking ahead to this encounter and the odds-makers give them a punchers chance with an extremely low price. These two spilt two games last year each winning on their home court, more of the same. Take IOWA STATE! 

Syracuse at North Carolina 7:00 ET

Orange (+) over Tar Heels- Many have said that it is time for Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim to retire after all the off-court issues including his NCAA suspension. The Orange now in the ACC of course just don't have the same championship quality of previous Big East years. North Carolina has won their last four and the last four on this series as they climb up the national rankings. The Heels love playing on the weekends but Monday's not so much as they are 3-7-2 ATS their last 12 Monday games. Take SYRACUSE!

USC at Colorado 8:30 ET

Buffaloes (-) over Trojans- both these squads were off to great starts as USC was 14-0 and Colorado won seven of their first nine including a win over Xavier. But, No. 25 USC has dropped their last two and the Buffaloes have lost their last four. The Trojans have struggled on the road and are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 away from LA and 8-of-9 overall while Colorado is 7-2 at home and have won seven of eight of the Pac-12 meetings. Take the BUFFALOES!
