Purdue vs Michigan State 3:00 ET

Boilermakers (+) over Spartans- There will be no doubt which team has the best all-round player on the court as the Spartans have Denzel Valentine a threat to put up a triple-double every time out. No. 13 Purdue has a 'big man' of their own in A.J. Hammons who is at 15.1 points, 8 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per contest. The Boilermakers have gotten hot at the right time as they they have shot 50 percent from the field in six straight games while trailing for just one minute and 10 seconds in the tournament. Take PURDUE!  

Kentucky vs Texas A&M 1:00 ET

Aggies (+) over Wildcats- We all know the Kentucky Wildcats are fighting for conference and national championships every season but this is a rarity that Texas A&M has a chance to hang a banner. The Aggies the No. 1 seed in the SEC are in their first conference final since 1990 and can win their first championship since the Southwest Conference in 1987. This is the Wildcats sixth trip to the SEC final in the past seven seasons but are notch below pervious champions. Take TEXAS A&M!  

Utah vs Oregon 11:00 ET

Utes (+) over Ducks- Both these clubs ar coming off overtime wins Friday with No.1 seed Oregon defeating No. 4 Arizona 95-89 while No. 2 Utah took down California. All games of course are at the MGM in Las Vegas and the Utes have plenty of support. Oregon has won 11 of their last 13 while Utah is riding a nine-game win streak and have won 14 of their last 16. Led by 7-1 Jakob Poeltl the PAC-12 Player of the Year the Utes prevail. Take UTAH!

Virginia vs North Carolina 9:00 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Tar Heels- The Atlantic Coast gets it's two best facing each other for the conference Championship with North Carolina versus Virginia. The Tar Heels look to be in perfect form as they routed Notre Dame yesterday by 31 points and was their fourth straight win while Virginia has won their last five starting with a win over Carolina. The Cavaliers have won four of the last six meetings including a 79-94 home win. Once against it's ...VIRGINIA!  

West Virginia vs Kansas 6:00 ET

Mountaineers (+) over Jayhawks- Top-ranked Kansas looks to win their 10th Big 12 Championship in the last 19 seasons while upstart West Virginia is looking for their first. Of, course the Mountaineers are a recent addition to the conference and are 3-5 in meetings against the Jayhawks. West Virginia broke an 0-3 Big-12 tournament record with a win over TCU 88-68. Look for both squads to play tough defense with the Mountaineers who have 324 steals 2nd in the nation. Take WEST VIRGINIA!

Maryland vs Michigan State 3:30 ET

Terrapins (+) over Spartans- I understand that Michigan State is good, I mean they have won 11 of their last 12 games but beating Ohio State (Friday) is no big deal as they have defeated then three times in three weeks. State has won the past two meetings including a 74-65 home win and 'cover.' The Spartans have won their last seven and are looking to reach the Big-Ten final for the third straight year. This time it goes to the wire. Take MARYLAND!

Connecticut vs Temple 3:00 ET

Huskies over Owls- Now this is a 'strange' one to see. The No. 1 seed Temple Owls who have already beaten Connecticut twice this season and are playing a Huskies squad that had to go into 4-overtimes to defeated Cincinnati. When you think that the Owls have on their last four and come up an underdog here tells me volumes of what Las Vegas thinks of the Huskies. Look for them to get their revenge and capture the NCCA bid. Take CONNECTICUT!  

California vs Utah 11:30 ET

Golden Bears (+) over Utes- The 'big man' and Player of the Year Jakob Poeltl leads 25-7 Utah the No. 2 seed against No. 3 seed 23-9 California in MGM Grand, Las Vegas. Both these clubs are playing at their best as Utah has won eight straight games and 13 of it's last 15 while the Bears have won nine of their last 10. These clubs split the season series each holding serve at home as Cal leads the all-time series 13-12 although the Utes have won four of the past five meetings...but, not tonight! Take CALIFORNIA!

Miami-FL vs Virginia 9:30 ET

Hurricanes (+) over Cavaliers- These early top seeds prevailed and meet here as No. 2 seed Virginia will be up against No. 3 Miami who enters with the exact record of 25-6. The Cavaliers pounded Georgia Tech 72-52 yesterday will the Hurricanes held off Virginia Tech for a 88-82 win. These clubs split their two games this season each winning at home. Both clubs are undefeated on neutral sites with the Canes going 4-0 and the Cavs 5-0. This is a toss-up and taking the points is huge. Take MIAMI-FL!

Baylor at Kansas 7:00 ET

Bears (+) over Jayhawks- The Baylor Bears are off yesterday's romp over Texas and and now must face the nation's No. 1 school in Kansas at Kansas City. Last season these two met in the Big 12 Tournament semi-finals and the Jayhawks held the Bears to their season low 52 points. Kansas has won seven straight in the series including 66-60 and 102-74 wins this season. Baylor has never won the Big 12 Tournament while the Jayhawks has won nine of the 18 championships. This time they keep it close. Take BAYLOR!   

Creighton vs Seton Hall 9:30 ET

Blue Jays (+) over Pirates- Seton Hall closed the season on a 'rush' as they won nine of the final 11 losing only to Butler (twice) during that stretch. Creighton meanwhile, will need to 'run' deep into the Big East Tournament to impress the selection committee because they are on the wrong side of the bubble right now and it doesn't look good as they have dropped four of their last five games winning only against lowly St. John's. These two split the two match-ups with the Blue Jays winning big early and then the Hall won the second contest by double-digits. This is tourney time...take CREIGHTON!

Mississippi State vs Georgia 9:00 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Bulldogs- Ha, where's Mike Vick? Okay to start with their seems something way off at this 'number' as Georgia who is 17-12 on the season with 10 SEC wins is in a 'pick-em' situation against a team under .500 (14-16) on the season on a neutral court. Mississippi State who started SEC play 2-8 and finished by beating Vanderbilt, Alabama and South Carolina while closing the season with a win over Auburn. As State's freshman matured their play has improved. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE!   

Alabama vs Mississippi 7:00 ET

Crimson Tide (+) over Rebels- Both these squads need to post a few wins to catch the selection committees eye and get to the 'Big Dance.' Right now, both these clubs are on the outside looking in as Mississippi has 11 losses and Alabama 13. Ole Miss has won seven of the last 10 meetings including a 74-66 home win the first week of January. The Tide dropped four of their final five games but will be ready for Stephen Moody the SEC leading scorer with on of the conferences stingiest defenses. Take ALABAMA!   

Arizona State vs. Oregon State 11:30 ET

Sun Devils (+) over Beavers- When the coaches' son is not able to play the drop-off in production is difficult to overcome and that's were the Beavers are entering this contest against Arizona State. Oregon's State's freshman forward Tres Tinkle the coaches son and second leading scorer and rebounder with most likely miss his third straight game. The Sun Devils have been inconsistent but did post an 18 win over Oregon State in Tempe in their only meetings. I expect to see more of the same here. Take ARIZONA STATE!

UCLA vs Southern California 9:00 ET

Bruins (+) over Trojans- These two Los Angeles school enter the PAC-12 Tournament tripping over themselves as the Bruins have dropped their last four and USC lost six of their finally eight conference games. The Trojans have beaten their cross-town rivals twice this season and look for the Hat-Trick (that's THREE wins for you non-skaters) which is so difficult to achieve. Six Trojans average double-digits while the Bruins look toward the coaches son Bryce Alford to lead UCLA. Finally. The Bruins break through against USC. Take UCLA!

Georgia Tech vs. Clemson 7:00 ET

Yellow Jackets (+) over Tigers- These two have split their two meetings in the past three weeks each winning on the others home court. This contest is at a neutral site in Arkansas and Georgia Tech comes in hot having won six of their last eight while Clemson just ended a three game losing streak with a win Saturday over lowly Boston College. Georgia Tech has played 11 ACC games decided by five points or less and that experience helps here. Take the YELLOW JACKETS!

Brigham Young vs. Gonzaga 11:30 ET

Cougars (+) over Bulldogs- These two split their season series with the road team winning on the others home floor. Gonzaga who I have said all year has been over-rated by the Vegas Bookies come in winning three straight both straight-up and ATS while Brigham Young won their last outing buthave dropped their last two ATS. Although the favorite is 10-3-1 ATS in the last 13 those games had home teams. This contest in on a neutral site but there will be plenty of BYU support in Las Vegas. Take the COUGARS!

Wisconsin at Purdue 7:30 ET

Boilermakers (+) over Badgers- After finally breaking a three-game road losing streak with a win over Nebraska on Tuesday and return home where they are 16-1 straight-up and are 22-1 in their last 23 as hosts. Wisconsin has turned it on the second half of the season and have won 11 of their last 12. The Badgers have won three of the last four regular season meetings including a 72-58 win at Mackey Arena the last time here. With three of the last four games decided by six or fewer points this line seems a little out of whack. Take PURDUE!  

Virginia Commonwealth at Dayton 8:00 ET

Rams (+) over Flyers- This is the first meeting between these two this season as the class of the Atlantic-10 clash in Dayton where the Flyers are 13-3 on the season. VCU has played well on the road going 7-3 straight-up and have some impressive figures on their side of the ledger. The Rams are 21-8 ATS in their last 29 games overall, 15-5 ATS in the Atlantic-10 and are 6-2 ATS on the road. VCU has enough to pull off the victory outright. Take VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH!  

North Carolina at Duke 6:30 ET

Blue Devils (+) over Tar Heels- These two classic rivals meet for the second time this season as North Carolina can win the ACC title outfight with a win here and a loss by Miami-Fl. The Blue Devils won the first meetings by storming back from a 23-point deficit in Chapel Hill. Duke has won the last four meetings and have won the last four in the series. The trends lead to North Carolina as the road team is 25-10 ATS in the last 25 meetings, but, for the most part the road team has been the underdog. The Heels are just 5-5 on the ACC road while Duke is 15-2 at home. Take DUKE!   

Miami-Fl at Virginia Tech 4:00 ET

Hokies (+) over Hurricanes- Virginia Tech is on a four-game win streak their longest in the ACC in six years as they look for a little payback against the Hurricanes. In the first meetings this season the Hokies held a 22-21 half-time lead before Miami blew Tech out in the second half and Virginia Tech has lost since. The Canes may feel some pressure as a win guarantees them a tie for the ACC regular season title while to youth of the Hokies feels no pressure. Take VIRGINIA TECH!  

Oregon at Southern California 4:00 ET

Trojans (+) over Ducks- The peddles are off the rose as the USC Trojans have dropped five of their last seven while Oregon has son four straight and already clinched the No.1 seed in the PAC-12 tournament. The Ducks have won last 10 in the series straight-up and are 25-12 ATS in their last 37 games overall. But, not to make you crazy the Trojans are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 home games while the underdog in the series is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take USC!    

West Virginia at Baylor 2:00 ET

Mountaineers (+) over Bears- Since losing at home to Oklahoma the Mountaineers have won their last three by an average 15.3 points. Bob Huggins and his squad understand that Kansas has the No. 1 seed and if West Virginia gets to 13 conference wins they lock-up the 2 Seed. They have already beaten Baylor 80-69 as a 6.5 favorite at home and and now they are a getting points. Led by tough defense and rebounding machine Jonathan Holton the Mountaineers established their dominance. Take WEST VIRGINIA!  

Oregon at UCLA 9:00 ET

Bruins (+) over Ducks- 'Boy, I sure hope that I am not chasing Bears' as this Bruins team took me out on Saturday when Stanford handled them easily giving them two straight losses. Oregon meanwhile, has won three in-a-row and can clinch a tie for the regular season title. The Ducks already defeated UCLA by 14-points at home where they are 18-0. But on the road not so much for Oregon as they are just 3-5 straight-up in true road games while Bruins manage a 11-4 ledger. Take UCLA!

Mississippi State at Mississippi 7:00 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Rebels- It's senior day at Ole Miss and the Rebels will be looking to extract some revenge for a 83-77 loss to the Bulldogs five weeks ago. Mississippi was missing three players that day including the SEC's leading scorer in Stefan Moody who had a strained left hamstring. Mississippi State who started slow have emerged beating Vanderbilt, Alabama and South Carolina led by freshman Quindarry Weatherspoon. Take the BULLDOGS!

Pittsburgh at Virginia Tech 7:00 ET

Hokies (+) over Panthers- Cashing-in with the Panthers over Duke Sunday was a delightful way to finished the week and tonight will be a jumping-off spot for the weekend. Don't over-react to the Panthers will against a down Blue Devils squad. Virginia Tech has started to make a move winning their last three but will need to advance deep into the ACC Tourney to have a chance and they need this one badly! Take VIRGINIA TECH!   

Purdue at Nebraska 8:00 ET

Boilermakers (+) over Cornhuskers- The Boilermakers notched their 22nd win of the season Saturday with a revenge victory over Maryland as they defeated a Top-10 team for the second time in February. Nebraska meanwhile has lost three straight without three-time captain Shavon Shields who returns here. The Huskers who have hopes for the NIT do own a road win over Michigan State so they have shown that they are capable. Take NEBRASKA!  

Virginia at Clemson 7:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Cavaliers- No. 4 Virginia still trails both Miami-Fl and North Carolina in the ACC after defeating the Tar Heels on Saturday while Clemson has dropped their last two and four of their past six to fall out of the NCAA Tournament hunt unless the win the ACC Tournament which is very unlikely. The Cavaliers are still patting themselves on the back after their win on Saturday. The Cavaliers won the first meeting 69-62 in Virginia but will find the going a bit tougher tonight as the Tigers are 7-1 at home in ACC play. Take CLEMSON!

Kentucky at Florida 7:00 ET

Gators (+) over Wildcats- Two of the SEC's former powerhouses clash on the wrong side of streaks as Kentucky has lost two-of-three while Florida has dropped their last three. Part of the Gators problems has been their lack of defense as LSU shot 57% in Saturday's loss and Vanderbilt 58% defeat. No. 19 Kentucky is undefeated (16-0) at home but are just 3-7 in true road games and are 4-9 ATS overall away from Lexington. I expect a huge effort out of the Gators in Gainesville where they are 12=3 straight-up and get the win. Take FLORIDA!  

Kansas at Texas 9:00 ET

Longhorns (+) over Jayhawks- The No. 2 Kansas Jayhawks have clinched a share of the Big-12 regular-season title for the 12th straight season as they enter Austin to play No. 25 Texas. Kansas has won nine consecutive games while Texas has won three of their last four including a win over Oklahoma Saturday and is now 14-2 at home. The Jayhawks won the first meeting 76-67 last month making it nine wins in the last 10 meetings. The Longhorns have bought into Shaka Smart's aggressive style defense and can pull off another upset here. Take TEXAS!

Arizona State at Colorado 4:40 ET

Sun Devils (+) over Buffaloes- Colorado shocked No. 10 Arizona on Saturday with a 75-72 win that gave the Buffaloes their fourth win this season against a top-50 opponent. Meanwhile, Arizona State enters this contest 15-1 at home while the Sun Devils are just 3-8 on the road. This series is tied at 6-6 with the home team winning five of six at home. Still, with the Buffs off a huge win over the Wildcats they could get caught gloating here. Take ARIZONA STATE!   

Duke at Pittsburgh 2:00 ET

Panthers (+) over Blue Devils- Now, this match-up really catches my attention as No. 18 Duke who has won seven of their last eight invade Pittsburgh who have lost four of their past six and are 0-6 against ranked teams. Because of their record against top quality opposition the Panthers need a big win to impress the NCAA Selection Committee while the Blue Devils are looking to improve their tournament seeding. With A win here Pittsburgh get to 20 victories for the 12th time in 13 season. Pitt needs it more...Take the PANTHERS!  

Xavier at Seton Hall 12:30 ET

Pirates (+) over Musketeers- Both these clubs are coming off huge wins a Xavier defeated No. 1 Villanova 90-83 on Wednesday while Seton Hall took down Providence 70-52 on Thursday. No. 5 Xavier is an old-school club that goes tot he basketball and have made more free-throws (544) then their opponents have attempted. The Musketeers won the first meeting at home 84-76 while the Piraes have won seven of eight since that loss. This time around with the home floor Seton Hall gets it done. Take the PIRATES!

Florida at Louisiana State 8:30 ET

Gators (+) over Tigers- When I look at these two clubs straight-up I see Florida as the tougher team mentally and defensively. LSU has had all the hype and rarely delivers entering this contest off three straight losses while the Gators haven't been much better dropping their last two. Even with the Tigers having a better conference record (9-6) Florida (8-7) has the better overall record (17-11). The Gators loss to Vanderbilt (87-74) was embarrassing for them and they will to bounce-back with a strong defensive effort. Take FLORIDA!  

ULCA at Stanford 4:30 ET

Bruins over Cardinal- With both these clubs just two-games over .500 if either one of them can run the table they will attract some NCAA attention otherwise it's NIT if they are lucky. The PAC-12 has improved to the point of where they my place seven clubs into the 'Big Dance.' UCLA has lost four of their last six while Stanford has won three of its last four and is off holding USC to a season low 64 points. The Bruins have controlled the series and have won 18 of the last 22 meetings including 16-5-1 ATS. Take the BRUINS!  

Oklahoma at Texas 2:00 ET

Longhorns (+) over Sooners- The Sooners have all the headlines this season even getting ranked No. 1 at one time but they have shown that they are not invincible especially on the road where they are just 6-4 straight-up and 6-7 ATS. Oklahoma won the first meeting at home 63-60 as a 7-point favorite as the underdog improved to 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. The Sooners are 7-16 ATS in their last 23 against the PAC-12 while Texas is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games overall. To top it off the Sooners just don't execute on Saturday when they are 3-11 ATS in their last 14. Take the LONGHORNS!

N.C. State at Syracuse 2:00 ET

Wolfpack (+) over Orange- I am really surprised that Syracuse has made it to 18 wins already and seem like a lock for 20 but they have dropped their last two contests after putting together a five-game win streak. N.C. State is off a loss to Carolina but there is an incredible Saturday trends that turns me to State. First the Wolfpack are 17-5-1 ATS in their last 23 games on Saturday while Syracuse is 15-35-2 ATS in their last 52 games on Saturday. Their is only one way for me to go. Take N.C. STATE!   

Arizona at Utah 2:00 ET

Wildcats (+) over Utes- I have been on the Utes for a good part of the season with fairly good success but I don't 'see' them here as a home favorite against a quality opponent like Arizona. The Wildcats had won six straight then had seven days off and were defeated by Colorado 76-73 their last time out. Utah has been impressive at home posting a 37-16 -2 ATS record but Arizona can counter that with the fact that they are 22-10 ATS in their last 32 against the PAC-12 and the road team is 9-3 ATS in the past 12 meetings. I like the final trend about road teams best. Take ARIZONA!

Valparaiso at Wis-Milwaukee 7:00 ET

Panthers (+) over Crusaders- Valparaiso has just about had their own way in the Horizon League leading the pack by two-and-a-half games over second place Oakland. Wis-Milwaukee is five full games behind the Crusaders with Valpo taking the first meting this season 68-56. Bad trends surround the Panthers as they are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games, while Valparaiso is 7-1-1 ATS in the last nine meetings and finally the favorite is 6-1-1 in the last eight meetings. But, I and telling you that stuff isn't going to matter tonight. Take WIS-MILWAUKEE!  

Southern California at Stanford 11:00 ET

Cardinal (+) over Trojans- Surprising USC who was 18-5 at one points have dropped three of their last four as they get deeper in the PAC-12 schedule. After a quick offensive start the Trojans have scored below their season average five straight games as the season wears on the young squad while Stanford had it's two game winning streak ended against Washington on Saturday. Stanford has had USC's number winning the last four meetings and 11 of the last 13 meetings at Maples Pavilion and an overall 102-35 record at home while USC is just 3-5 on the road. The beat goes on here. Take STANFORD!

Providence at Seton Hall 7:00 ET

Pirates (-) over Friars- At the time Providence as ranked #11 and had won 18 of their first 22 and appeared a 'lock' for the tournament but have fallen four of their past five games dropping them on to the 'bubble.' Seton Hall meanwhile has won six of their last seven to move ahead of the Friars in the Big East but haven't been in the NCAA Tournament since 2006 and can post their first 20-win season since 2003-04. Defense is the key for both schools as the Pirates have held their last six opponents under 65 points of less while allowing just 30.8% of 3-point tries. Take SETON HALL!   

Nebraska at Penn State 7:00 ET

Cornhuskers (+) over Nittany Lions- Penn State has made it over .500 (14-13) by winning three of their last four with the only loss coming against tonight's opponent at Nebraska with wins over Iowa and Indiana. Now, the Lions come up a meager favorite at home and I believe that the odds maker thinks they will have trouble here. Nebraska is building for the future as over 40% of their total minutes of playing time has gone to freshmen but they will have second leading scorer Shavon Shields is returning for the first game since Feb. 6. Tonight roles reverse as Nebraska gets the nod. Take the CORNHUSKERS!

Wisconsin at Iowa 9:00 ET

Hawkeyes (-) over Badgers- The Hawkeyes who who 10 of their first 11 conference games have lost three of their last four find themselves out of first-place in the Big Ten for the first time this season. Wisconsin lost four of their first five conference games and have now won eight of nine and have won the last five meetings in the series. Iowa is undefeated at home this season (13-0) and have won 16 straight at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Last season the Badgers won 80-52 here but will find the going tougher this time around. Take IOWA!

Louisville at Pittsburgh 8:00 ET

Panthers (+) over Cardinals- The Louisville Cardinals who have a storied history in NCAA basketball will be sidelined during the NCAA Tournament and realize the only glory they can accomplish this year is looking to win their first ACC title if they can handle business here and then against Miami-Fl this weekend. The Cardinals who play three of their final four games on the road must improve upon their 3-5 straight-up road record. The Panthers had a 10-game wining streak stop by Louisville earlier this season and they have won two straight only once since. Rebounding is Pitts strong point and at home the will go after the ball off the glass. Take PITTSBURGH!

Northwestern at Michigan 7:00 ET

Wildcats (+) over Wolverines- Both these clubs enter this battle on negative notes as Michigan has lost their last two while Northwestern has lost five straight on the road. The Wolverines have 19 wins and one more would just about guaranteed an invitation to the 'Big Dance' while the Wildcats seem to have very little chance unless they make an least likely run winning their final four Big Ten contests and then go deep into the conference tournament. Despite their recent poor performances on the road Northwestern is 6-4-1 ATS and get the 'money' tonight. Take the WILDCATS!

Kansas At Baylor 8:00 ET

Bears (+) over Jayhawks- It's getting to the point with a two-game conference lead and a seven game win streak that the Jayhawks are beginning to think of getting a No. 1 seed. Baylor has a modest win streak of their own winning their last two defeating Iowa State and Texas but are reminded of the first meetings with Kansas when they were stomped 102-74 in their Big-12 opener. The Jayhawks have won the last six and 11 of the last 13 in the series but, the Bears move the ball well (19.1 assists per game) and are 15-3 at home and the Jayhawks just 5-3 away from home. Take BAYLOR!

Louisiana State at Arkansas 7:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Razorbacks- The LSU Tigers are going to have to start winning some games or they will be putting the NCAA Tournament election committee in the tough spot. The Tigers have Ben Simmons most likely the Number 1 pick in the NBA draft but they also have 11 losses including three of their last four. Simmons was kept out of the starting line-up against Tennessee Saturday an 85-81 defeat. LSU has won six of the past seven meetings with a 76-74 with last month as a 9.5 point favorite. This time they get the 'money. Take LSU!  

Temple at Tulsa 7:00 ET

Golden Hurricane (-) over Owls- Tulsa is a game-and-a-half behind Temple in the All-American Conference and despately needs a win agains the leader tonight to have a chance at the top seed. We used the Owls as a winning on Sunday at Houston and now they are an even bigger underdog against Tulsa. The Golden Hurricane have won four of their last five including wins over SMU and Cincinnati so we know they can play. And they will night. Take TULSA!

Iowa State at West Virginia 9:00 ET

Cyclones (+) over Mountaineers- As their schedule has gotten tougher the Mountaineers are beginning to show some cracks losing three of their last four against the Big-12's better competition. Iowa State has had the same problems losing four of their last seven while going just 2-5 ATS. These two met three weeks ago as West Virginia pulled off a 81-76 upset at Iowa State but this time will be with guard Daxter Miles, Jr. who is out with a hamstring injury. This time the Cyclones get their revenge. Take IOWA STATE!

Texas at Kansas State 7:00 ET

Wildcats (+) over Longhorns- The Longhorns have dropped three of their last four and still have now been able to replace the loss of center Cameron Ridley. Texas is off a beating at the hands of Baylor after surprising West Virginia at home on Tuesday while Kansas State dropped a battle to their rival Kansas on Saturday. Texas has won three straight in this series and four of the past five but are just 4-8 away from home while the Wildcats are 11-4 when playing as hosts. Texas won the first meetings 60-57 this time it's the Wildcats. Take KANSAS STATE!

Virginia at Miami-Fl 7:00 ET

Hurricanes over Cavaliers- Two mirror image schools from the ACC who have the sane overall and conference record (21-5, 10-4) will face-off in Miami where the Hurricanes hosts Virginia. The Hurricanes are off a 96-71 beating at the hands of North Carolina Sunday in a game where they trailed by as many as 38 points. Virginia who has won eight of their last nine games have had seven days rest but are just 4-5 on the road while Miami is 13-1 at home going 9-3-1 ATS. Both teams play great defense with the Cavaliers ranking second nationally in scoring defense allowing just 59-5 points per game. But, the home floor is a huge advantage. Take MIAMI!   

Temple at Houston 7:00 ET

Owls (+) over Cougars- These two have already met on January 2nd when the Cougars invaded Philadelphia and destroyed the Owls 77-50 when not a single Temple player scored in double-digits. Temple who played and lost to North Carolina and Villanova when they were ranked No.1 and are off a that loss 83-67 to the Wildcats. I expect this to be a tough hard tough defensive affair with the Owls coming out on top. Take TEMPLE!

Utah at Southern California 6:00 ET

Utes (+) over Trojans- The Utes will try an over-come the emotion of having won their first game ever at Pauley Pavilion against UCLA and will try and complete the L.A. sweep against USC today. The Trojans need a late 30-5 run to defeat Colorado last time out to improve to 15-0 at the Galen Center this season. Utah has won five straight in the series including a 67-39 pasting the first day of the month. Utah has a little more experience and depth and will have enough to get it done here. Take the UTES!

Michigan at Maryland 1:00 ET

Terrapins (-) over Wolverines- No. 5 ranked Maryland enters this fray on a two-game losing streak (their first in two years) after their dismal performance against Minnesota who defeated the Terps for their first Big Ten win of the season. Michigan also comes into this battle off a loss and need juts one more win to reach 20 and most likely secure a berth to the 'Big Dance.' The Terrapins are 14-1 at home and have won 27 of their last 28 games as hosts. Michigan will once again be without leading scorer Caris LeVert and the Terps will take advantage. Take MARYLAND!   

Notre Dame at Georgia Tech 8:00 ET

Yellow Jackets (+) over Fighting Irish- Notre Dame has climbed into the rankings (No. 18) bu winning their last three contests including wins over No.1 Notre Carolina, Clemson and Louisville and now visits Atlanta as a small favorite against Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets are a middle-of-the-road type of team that can jump up and bite you every once in a while and although the Irish have won the last four meetings they last of which the held Tech to 33% shooting. Look for a better performance at home from the Yellow Jackets. Take GEORGIA TECH!   

Kentucky at Texas A&M 6:30 ET

Aggies (+) over Wildcats- Texas A&M who is ranked 25th started their SEC season 7-0 but had lost five straight conference games until defeating Mississippi last time out. Kentucky will once again be without senior forward Alex Poythress and junior Marcus Lee is questionable after leaving the Tennessee game with lower back issues. The Wildcats have won the past three meetings but the Aggies are ready to pounce as they are 14-1 straight-up at home. Take TEXAS A&M!

Kansas at Kansas State 6:00 ET

Wildcats (+) over Jayhawks- Kansas is in the mist of a six-game winning streak while working toward a No.1 seed at the 'Big Dance.' The Jayhawks already pounded the Wildcats earlier 77-59 when Kansas held a 36-21 rebounding advantage. Kansas is off an easy 94-67 win over Oklahoma State but will find it much tougher this time out as the rivals in this series where the visitor is 16-5-1 ATS in the last 22 meetings. The Jayhawks are just 4-3 straight-up in true road games while Kansas State is 11-3 straight-up at home. Take KANSAS STATE!  

Pittsburgh at Syracuse 2:00 ET

Panthers (+) over Orange- A pair of Big East rivals that are now a part of the ACC clash in Syracuse where the Orange look to stay hot having won five straight before Wednesdays loss to Louisville while Pittsburgh broke a three-game losing streak against Wake Forest with a double-overtime win. The Panthers have won three straight in the series including a 72-61 win back in December when they dominated the boards 42-22. Look for more of the same against this afternoon. Take PITTSBURGH!   

Miami-FL at North Carolina 1:00 ET

Hurricanes (+) over Tar Heels- The Tar Heels though that they had their last game against Duke wrapped-up with a six-point lead and just over a minute remaining against Duke before they failed to execute down the stretch and lost 74-73 to the under-manned Blue Devils. Miami at 21-4 have won five straight and actually have a better overall record then does North Carolina (21-5). The Tar Heels own the series 19-6 but Miami is 4-3 since Jim Larranaga took over a head coach. Take the upstart HURRICANES!   

Utah at UCLA 10:00 ET

Utes (+) over Bruins- The once proud UCLA program is now just another also-ran in a field of ever increased competition that constantly gets the better young recruits. The Bruins who defeated Utah who was ranked No.10 at Pauley Pavilion last season but are just 1-6 against opponents that have winning PAC-12 records. UCLA has some size inside to deal with the Utes 7-footer Jakob Poeltl who missed only one shot in two games against the Bruins last season but they just don't match him in talent. Take UTAH!

Wisconsin at Michigan State 9:00 ET

Spartans (-) over Badgers- Wisconsin enters this battle as the hottest club in the Big Ten winning seven straight conference games after dropped four of their first five. The Badgers have won four of the past five meetings and yet they are almost a double-digit underdog. Michigan State has won five of their last six including a huge win over Indiana on Sunday. The Badgers defeated the Spartans 77-76 at home in mid-January and I look for a turn around here. Whiskey is down a notch or two from last year's finals loser. Take MICHIGAN STATE!  

Southern Methodist at Connecticut 8:00 ET

Mustangs (+) over Huskies- Two of the better coached teams in the nation face off in this All-American Conference battle between SMU and Connecticut. SMU coach Larry Brown has won everywhere he has been from college (UCLA, Kansas, SMU) to the pros, (New York and more) and although he can not win any national championships this year due to NCAA penalties they can still win the AAC title and that's what they expect to do. SMU is 5-1 in the series and wins here as an underdog. Take SMU!

Oklahoma at Texas Tech 9:00 ET

Red Raiders (+) over Sooners- Former No. 1 Oklahoma is in third place in the Big-12 behind Kansas and West Virginia after dropping two of their last three games including a loss to Kansas last time out. Texas Tech who was destroyed 91-67 in the first meeting with the Sooners has now lost six of the last seven meetings. The Red Raiders have posted back-to-back wins over ranked opponents defeating Iowa State and Baylor (by 18-points at Baylor) and are 11-3 at home while Oklahoma is just 5-3 on the road and just 5-15 ATS in their last 20 Big-12 contests. Take TEXAS TECH!

Seton Hall at Georgetown 9:00 ET

Pirates (+) over Hoyas- The Hoyas were riding high after their 81-72 win over Xavier over three weeks ago but have taken a dramatic fall since then losing five of their last seven contests including a 75-72 loss at No. 20 Providence. Georgetown will be without senior leader and top rebounder center Bradley Hayes who is out with a broken hand. Seton Hall has won six straight on the road and have already defeated the Hoyas this season (69-61) 10 days ago and will do it again here. The Pirates are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games overall. Take SETON HALL!   

Syracuse at Louisville 7:00 ET

Cardinals (-) over Orange- Two of the NCAA's winningest basketball coaches knock heads here and both are on the NCAA 'bad-boy' list and have been hit with sanctions. The irony is that Rick Pitino was an assistant coach to Kim Boeheim on his first staff in 1976. Syracuse has a five-game winning streak and has been playing more like the club we respected for so many seasons while Louisville is trying ti recover from the shock of the news of not being able to participate in the post season. The Cardinals are 15-1 at home and are looking to stop a two-game slide while the Orange are just 3-4 on the road. Tonight the Cardinals rally. Take LOUISVILLE!

Vanderbilt at Mississippi State 9:00 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Commodores- Both clubs are coming off their 'best and worst' performances of the season as the Commodores who have won seven of nine and are off a 29-point 86-57 win at Auburn while Mississippi State is coming off a season-low offensive output in a 66-57 home loss to Georgia. These two should both move back toward the center with the Bulldogs improving their scoring and Vanderbilt who is 15-10 (most think that they are better then that) they are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games. The Bulldogs are 9-1-3 ATS in the last 13 meetings. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE!  

Creighton at Butler 7:00 ET

Bulldogs (-) over Blue Jays- Butler certainly understand now what the conference elite look like as they were throttled by No. 7 Xavier on Saturday. I was very fortunate at evade 'playing' the Bulldogs as many in my field took a beating. This game is in Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis and Creighton enter on a three-game win streak with a 72-64 win over the Bulldogs earlier this season under their belts. The trends favor the Blue Jays as they are 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 in the Big East. With all these positives why are they such a 'heavy' underdog. It's because the Bulldogs are out to bite tonight and win easy. Take BUTLER!

West Virginia at Texas 7:00 ET

Longhorns over Mountaineers- West Virginia is about to take their acid test as the Bob Huggins take his No. 11 Mountaineers to Texas in what is the start of a three- game stretch against the Big-12's better clubs. West Virginia is in a tie with Kansas after crushing TCU 73-42 on Saturday. Texas under Shaka Smart has shown signs that the can play with the 'big boys' with a number of huge wins against quality competition (North Carolina, Iowa State,Vanderbilt). The Mountaineers won the first matchup a 56-49 non-cover victory. Last season Texas destroyed West Virginia in Austin 77-50 and though the margin may not be that large this time I expect the Longhorns to WIN. Take TEXAS!   

UCLA at Arizona State 8:30 ET

Sun Devils (-) over Bruins- The once proud UCLA program is just a middle-of-the-roader now a days as they have now dropped their last two to ranked opponents USC and Arizona and are just 4-7 in the PAC-12. The Bruins of course have the 'coaches' son Bryce Alford who leads the team in scoring but has been inconsistent from the floor but it is Issac Hamilton who has scored double figures un 20 straight games. UCLA won the first meetings at home 71-64 to cover by a points in a game that was tied with one-minute to go. This time Arizona State gets even. Take the SUN DEVILS!  

Miami at Florida State 6:30 ET

Seminoles over Hurricanes- No. 11 Miami (a surprise) visits Florida State where they have had their problems in the past as they are just 7-28 straight-up in Tallahassee. Seminoles coach Leonard Hamilton was one the mentor at Miami and he wants to even the season series here. In the first meeting Florida State scored just 59 points their season low. State starts two freshman, a sophomore and two seniors with their two top scorers Beasley and Bacon are freshman. In a revenge mode the Seminoles get it done. Take FLORIDA STATE!   

Indiana at Michigan State 1:00 ET

Spartans (-) over Hoosiers- The Hoosiers are off a huge win over No. 3 Iowa at home 85-78 where they had to come-back after blowing a 16-point lead to the Hawkeyes. Indiana is perfect at home winning all 14 games but have not defeated a ranked team on the road since 2007. Michigan State is off a disappointing overtime loss at Purdue on Tuesday. State won both meetings last season including a 70-50 win at home. They do it again here. Take the SPARTANS!

Virginia at Duke 4:30 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Blue Devils- After a bit of a lull the Virginia Cavaliers have ripped off seven straight wins while the Blue Devils are back on track after a lull of their last where the lost four of five games. The road team is 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 meetings as Duke won the last meetings here last January 69-63. Duke not only leads the All-time series 117-50 they have won the last 16 meetings at Cameron Indoor Stadium. This time it's Virginia's turn. Take the CAVALIERS!

Louisville at Notre Dame 4:00 ET

Cardinals (+) over Fighting Irish- The Cardinals are fighting mad and I don't blame them. The Louisville administration inflicted a death blow the Rick Pitino and the rest of his squad as the will not be playing in the 'Big Dance' this season. After receiving the news a disheartened Louisville squad fell to Duke on Monday 72-52 while the Fighting Irish have won their last two including an 89-83 win at Clemson. I can see a spirited Cardinals squad flying high here. Take LOUISVILLE!  

Tennessee at Missouri 3:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Volunteers- This match-up is not a head turner as neither of their clubs have a chance of getting into the NCAA Tournament as Tennessee struggles around .500 and Missouri has now dropped nine straight games. This young Tigers squad have yet to win on the road but have a winning home record (8-5) while the Volunteers are just 1-7 on the road. Tennessee is off a huge 71-45 win over Auburn last time out but will find the going more difficult on the SEC road here. Take MISSOURI!

Arkansas at Mississippi 2:00 ET

Razorbacks (+) over Rebels- I don't know why so many people think that Mississippi is a 'Big Dance' team as they have nine losses on the season and are 5-6 in SEC play. Arkansas no one wants any part of and will be lucky to make any of the also-ran tournaments. The Razorbacks are off their worst loss of the year as Mississippi State drilled them 78-46 as they shot just 22.2 percent from the field with a grand total a of three assists. I expect more team play and a full 40-minute effort. Take ARKANSAS.

Texas A&M at Louisiana State 1:00 ET

Aggies (+) over Tigers- No. 13 Texas A&M has lost their last three games and four of their last five and has dropped into a tie for fourth pace in SEC below South Carolina, Kentucky and LSU. LSU meanwhile is off a loss to South Carolina and Ben Simmons production has slowed down and the rest of the Tigers are making just 66 percent of their free throws. The Aggies have won the last three meetings and need a win in the worst way today. Take TEXAS A&M!

UCLA at Arizona 9:00 ET

Wildcats (-) over Bruins- The last time these two tangled 'we' used the Bruins who had two different double-digit leads before Bryce Alford bombed a 3-pointer at the buzzer for the 87-84 win. This time it's No. 14 Arizona that is holding the hammer in LA-native Ryan Anderson who has had five consecutive double-doubles. UCLA has lost four of their last six and already have double digit losses on the season with 10. The Bruins have won five of the last eight meetings but the are just 3-7 on the road. Look for Wildcats revenge. Take ARIZONA!  

USC at Arizona State 8:00 ET

Sun Devils (+) over Trojans- USC who won only three PAC-12 games last season are off a sweep of arch rival UCLA and have seven conference wins entering this battle in the desert. They come to Tempe having lost to the Sun Devils seven of the past eight seasons and now they are favored. This is the Trojans second trip into the Top-25 and the last time it happened (month ago) they dropped two straight in Oregon. USC won the first match-up easy at home and now the play the Sun Devils who are 9-4 as host, the Devils have a chance. Take ARIZONA STATE!   

Dayton at Rhode Island 7:00 ET

Rams (+) over Flyers- No. 17 Dayton has a number of trends in their corner as they have won eight straight games, are 5-1 on the road and look to increase their Atlantic 10 lead at Rhode Island. The Flyers had to come back from 19 points down against Duquesne before a late rallied help them win 76-74. The Rams have won their last six home meetings against the Flyers and come-up big here. Take RHODE ISLAND!

Oregon State at Stanford 11:00 ET

Beavers (+) over Cardinal- Oregon State enters this contest off two huge wins over Utah and Colorado while the slumping Cardinal have dropped three straight. Stanford has had their way at home against the Beavers winning 20 of the past 21 games in Maples Pavilion and are 101-34 at home under coach Johnny Dawkins. So why I ask is Stanford a virtual pick-em at home. The Cardinal have dropped four of heir last five and have no one to deal with Gary Payton II who is the only PAC-12 player in the top-10 in scoring, rebounding, assists and steals. Take OREGON STATE!  

Florida State at Syracuse 7:00 ET

Seminoles (+) over Orange- Syracuse has started to show up as they have won six of seven since Jim Boeheim returned from his nine game suspension. Florida State has also picked-up the pace as they have won their last four. This contest is meaningful for both squads as they are on the NCAA 'bubble' and a key win here not only helps your cause but dampens your opponents chances. The Orange are better with the return of their coach but can get stopped here. Take FLORIDA STATE!  

San Diego State at Fresno State 11:00 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Aztecs- San Diego State is the 'hottest' team in college basketball as they have now ripped off 11 straight wins including their miracle win and 'cover' at New Mexico on Saturday. Fresno State is coming off a 'double-overtime' win over UNLV Saturday. The Bulldogs are 12-2 at home this season while the Aztecs are 6-1 on the road while holding teams to 63 points per game. Defense will be the key and Fresno plays it as well. Take the BULLDOGS!  

Iowa State at Texas Tech 9:00 ET

Red Raiders (+) over Cyclones- No. 15 Iowa State has hit a rough patch as they have dropped two of their last three contests but are off a 64-59 win at Oklahoma State on Saturday. They have the added problem of entering this fray without their leading rebounder Jameel McKay who has been suspended for violating team 'practice' rules. (See Allen Iverson) The Cyclones already own a home win over the Red Raiders but lost the last time they came to Lubbock where Tech is 10-3 straight-up on the year. Take TEXAS TECH!

Texas A&M at Alabama 7:00 ET

Crimson Tide (+) over Aggies- No. 13 Texas A&M's have dropped their last three SEC games and are coming off a upset home loss to South Carolina on Saturday but, the Tide have been even worse. Alabama just lost to lowly Missouri 80-71 as a double-digit home favorite. The Tide took both meetings last season and look for more as the Aggies are just 1-4-1 ATS in their last six road games and the 'Tide' is 20-5-1 ATS in their last 26 following an ATS loss. Take ALABAMA!

New Mexico at Utah State 10:00 ET

Aggies (+) over Lobos- The poor Aggies have dropped to .500 after having lost their last five contests entering this game and are in need of a only 3-8 in conference play. New Mexico is known for the huge home court advantage (10-2) but struggle when not playing in 'The Pit' as they are just 4-7 on the road. Although, the Lobos are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall and Utah State is 1-4 ATS in their last five games turn-about is about to happen. Take UTAH STATE!

Arkansas at Mississippi State 9:00 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Razorbacks- Arkansas' new coach Ben Howland is disappointed in the Bulldogs as they have been slow to come around and enter this battle having dropped their last two contests. Arkansas meanwhile is 1-6 on the road and have lost three straight SEC away games. The Razorbacks have won the last five in the series but the last in Starkville were decided by a total of four points. Although Mississippi State is 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall they are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a ATS loss. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE!

Xavier at Creighton 8:00 ET

Bluejays (+) over Musketeers- Xavier is off a great come-from-behind win over Marquette when the make a season high 13 3-point shots and 8-of-9 free throws down the stretch. The Musketeers have won five straight and met an equally potent offense when they travel to Omaha as they take on Creighton. The Bluejays have a habit of playing Xavier tough as they split a pair of one-point wins last season. They also are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 home games against a team with a winning road record. They do it again here. Take CREIGHTON!

Texas at Oklahoma 9:00 ET

Longhorns (+) over Sooners- After the Sooners upset loss Saturday at Kansas State (Money Game) most will expect No. 2 Oklahoma to bounce-back with a win over long-time bitter rival Texas. Even though the Sooners have won the last four in this series the Longhorns enter the 'hot' club as they have won their last fur Big-12 conference games. As on of the nation's top ranked teams Oklahoma has had a target on its back as they are just 5-13 ATS in their last 18 Big-12 games and the visitor is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings. In a mild surprise...take TEXAS!

Oklahoma State at Texas Christian 7:00 ET

Horned Frogs (+) over Cowboys- Oklahoma State who has lost four of five and eight of their last nine Big-12 games opened conference play with a 69-48 win over TCU but have struggled in conference ever since. The Cowboys are 23-3 straight-up all-time in this series including 11 of the last 12 but lost last time visiting Fort Worth and yet the 'price' is a virtual pick'em which tells me the Horned Frogs have a chance for their 2nd conference win of the season. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN!

Louisville at Duke 7:00 ET

Blue Devils (-) over Cardinals- After starting the year 14-6 the Duke Blue Devils lost four straight including back-to-back home losses against un-ranked teams and are now out of the Top-20 for the first time since 2007. Louisville had a laugher on Saturday as they pounded lowly Boston College 79-47 without Damion Lee who has a bruised knee. Coach Krzyzewski will return to the Blue Devil sideline as he returns from illness. The Devils handled the Cardinals in Louisville last season they can do it at Cameron last year. Once again it's DUKE!

Utah at Oregon 4:00 ET

Utah (+) over Ducks- The Ducks are starting to roll as they have won five straight and 21 straight games at home. Oregon leads the PAC-12 with a 8-2 conference record and face one of the PAC-12 pre-season favorites Utah who is off a disappointing 71-69 loss at Oregon State where they fouled a desperation 3-point shooter at mid-court as the final buzzer sounded. The Beavers made all-three free throws. Look for the Utes to bounce-back with a win here. Take UTAH!

Miami-FL at Georgia Tech 1:00 ET

Yellow Jackets (+) over Hurricanes- The Miami Hurricanes are the surprise team in the ACC who at 17-4 and have posted some very big ACC (6-3) wins including victories over Duke and Notre Dame. Georgia Tech is off two straight losses including a tough defeat to Duke where they held a half-time lead but are still 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine games overall. Miami coach Jim Larranaga has turned the Canes program around but they still struggle on the ACC road going 1-3 straight-up. Georgia Tech is 9-4 at home and looking to rebound with a win here. Take YELLOW JACKETS!

North Carolina at Notre Dame 7:00 ET

Fighting Irish (+) over Tar Heels- We've been doing it all season and I don't any reason to stop now, that is taking down the No. 1 team in the nation. We did it with Louisville a 71-65 winner over the Tar Heels on Monday and a number of other times this season. We are doing it AGAIN! Notre Dame has lost 2-of-3 including a 79-70 defeat at Miami Wednesday but have won their last four at home. North Carolina is just 3-3 straight-up on the road and will struggle here. Take NOTRE DAME!   

Oklahoma at Kansas State 6:00 ET

Wildcats (+) over Sooners- Oklahoma comes in winner of their last four while Kansas State is looking to rebound from a crushing loss to Kansas on Wednesday. The Wildcats have been one of the better plays as a home dog as they are 14-7 straight-up and 16-5 ATS in the Big-12 roll. The Sooners are 1-3 ATS as road favorites this season and are 6-19-1 ATS in this series. The trends tell 'us' there is only one way to go here. Take KANSAS STATE!   

Purdue at Maryland 4:00 ET

Boilermakers (+) over Terrapins- The Big Ten has been very impressive to date with Iowa, Indiana, Purdue and Maryland all ranked and battling each other every week. The Terps will have their hands full here a the Boilermakers as they have out-rebounded every opponent this season holding a Big Ten best plus 12.3 margin on the boards and have made 75% of their free throws 2nd only to Maryland 75.7%. Maryland is 12-0 on the road and Purdue has beaten a Top ranked team on the road since March 1994. But, this one will go down to the final buzzer. Take PURDUE!    

Michigan State at Michigan 2:00 ET

Wolverines (+) over Spartans- Always a great match-up be in on the gridiron or hardwood as the Spartans enter this fray winning their last three while Michigan just saw it's nine-game home winning streak ended by Indiana 80-67 on Tuesday.

Beavers (+) over Utes- Two PAC-12 clubs moving in different directions face-off in Corvallis where Oregon State losers in five of their last six and their last two, while the Utes after a 1-3 conference start have won five in-a-row. Utah has owned the Beavers here winning 12 of 13 but Oregon State will have the return off suspended forward Jarmal Reid who had to sit for tripping an official. The Beavers are 10-3 at Gill Coliseum this season get the money here. TAKE OREGON STATE!

Tulsa at Temple 7:00 ET

Golden Hurricane (+) over Owls- Tulsa opened AAC play with losses to SMU and Cincinnati and since have gone 6-1 in conference play to pull with-in one-game of the Mustangs. Temple's game surrounds guard Quenton DeCosey as he posted 30-points last time out against South Florida on Sunday but has struggled against the Golden Hurricane defense. Last season DeCosey managed hold him to 4-22 shooting and only 14 points in both contests. Look for that sturdy defense of Tulsa to be the difference. Take the GOLDEN HURRICANE!

Texas A&M at Vanderbilt 7:00 ET

Commodores over Aggies- The Aggies lead the SEC (7-1) and bounced-back after their first conference loss to Arkansas with a healthy win over No. 14 Iowa State last time out. Now, Texas A&M becomes the hunted as they come into Nashville having gone 5-3 on the road this season. Vanderbilt who has no 'covered' their last three contests is 9-2 at home and are off a pounding at Texas. Kevin Stalling No.1 SEC defense with bring this 'home' for the Commodores.

Arizona State at Washington 11:00 ET

Sun Devils (+) over Huskies- 'We' had the Sun Devils Sunday night when the were hosting Oregon and when down to a 91-74 loss to No. 17 Oregon when the shot 39% from the field and committed 17 turnovers. I'm looking for Arizona State who had a season-high 51 second-half points in the first matchup this season (Huskies win 89-85 as a 6-point dog) and I hope that fine shooting will carry-over into tonights' contest. Take ARIZONA STATE!
