Oregon vs UCLA 9:00 ET

Ducks (+) over Bruins- UCLA has been cruising along without any real pressure as they are assured a berth win or lose. For the Ducks it is desperation time and they are playing like it. right now they are certainly on the wring side of the bubble and only a win here can possible lead to a change. Effort supreme. Take OREGON!

Iowa State vs Kansas 6:30 ET

Cyclones (+) over Jayhawks- How much does Bill Self mean to the Jayhawks during a game? Not as much as T.J. Otzelberger means to Iowa State. Kansas won eight times in the last nine outings and this will be the second straight without him. For the Cyclones who started the action like a whirl wind only to sump mid-season and have once against risen their play and it is all defense. T.J. has them focused and surprise here. Take IOWA STATE!

Rutgers vs Purdue 12:00 ET

Scarlet Knights (+) over Boilermakers- Purdue was ranked No.1 longer than any other school and will still likely draw a No. 1 seed. When they topped the polls at 22-1 their only defeat came at the hands of the Scarlet Knights 65-64 in West Lafayette on January 2. Rutgers did what they do best as the Wolverines found out yesterday they play defense. They held the  Boilermakers to under 40% from the field and forced 13 turnovers. Guess what go ahead that a guess...Okay well that was Rutgers second program win over a No. 1 ranked team as they had beaten Purdue as No. 1 in December 2021. When a team has your number the have your number and the number for Purdue is up once again. Take RUTGERS!

TCU vs Kansas State 9:30 ET

Horned Frogs (-) over Wildcats- Here we go in a huge match-up where the pollsters and the odds makers have a strong difference of opinion. Sort of like the Georgia/TCU championship game (Just an example). Kansas State is ranked No. 12 and have been Big-12 point spread darlings for a good part of the year. TCU is ranked No. 22 but comes up the favorite in Kansas City as the odds makers are taking a stand. TCU closed with a blowout loss at Oklahoma but are 15-5-1 ATS after a SU loss. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN!

Penn State at Illinois 6:30 ET

Nittany Lions (+) over Fighting Illini- As I look back on the college basketball season one lasting thought is that Illinois is over-rated and yet they went 18-13 ATS on the season. But, in actuality I was right as I saw them as a No. 8 ranked team to open the season in Las Vegas. They lost to Baylor leaving me totally unimpressed and now they are no where in the Top-25. Lions won both meetings this season covering by 15 and 25 points. The underdog is 22-10-2 ATS in the last 34 meetings and the Nittany Lions are 20-7-3 ATS in the last 30 neutral site games while the Illini are 3-8 ARS at neutral sites. Take PENN STATE!

Ohio State vs Iowa 2:30 ET

Buckeyes (+) over Hawkeyes- I really don’t expect an improbably five-game run by the Buckeyes by starting the playoffs as a Megabucks winner has giving them confidence and here is a team that lost nine conference games in-a-row and won only once on the road all season. Ohio State started four freshman in their season regular season final and against Wisconsin. Young fresh legs can play in back-to-back games. Iowa has been a disappointment for most of the season and are 0-4 ATS at neutral sites and the Buckeyes are 4-0 ATS in their last four overall. Take OHIO STATE!

Rutgers vs Michigan 12:00

Scarlet Knights (+) over Wolverines- Like the man said many of these game as play-in games needed to win to get in but there are  others like this one where the winner is not guaranteed anything while the loser is definitely run out of opportunities. Rutgers won early in Big Ten action and then for time it seemed that the conference caught up with them as playing 20 Conference games can be grueling. Rutgers defense will far out shine anything the Wolverines and do on offense as the Scarlet Knights are ranked No. 9 only allowing 60.4 PPG. The underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take RUTGERS!

Stanford vs Utah 9:00 ET

Cardinals (+) over Utes- Both of these programs have had disappointing seasons are it has been getting worse for one as opposed to the other. Utah is on a five-game losing streak and are just 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games while Stanford who had a horrid start to their year has recovered somewhat and closed winning 2-of-3/ Remember if either side was really any good they would not be playing this round. Utes 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 games following a SU loss while the Cardinal is 9-4 ATS after an ATS win and 8-3 ATS at neutral sites. Take STANFORD

Ohio State vs. Wisconsin 6:30 ET

Buckeyes (-) over Badgers- When I first saw this match-up my thoughts were that the Badgers are a tougher group. I mean Ohio State has won just once of 11 road games and that was on New Years Day at Northwestern. Many believe that Wisconsin is on the bubble while Ohio State win have to win five straight. Okay, here is the rub in this one. The Badgers with a better record and a higher seed are an underdog and this after having defeated the Buckeyes on their own floor. Looks like they have made the wrong team the favorite and the favorite is 15-7 ATS in the last 22 meetings and this is not a mistake. Take OHIO STATE!

Notre Dame vs Virginia Tech 7:00 ET

Hokies (-) over Fighting Irish- The ACC Tournament is in Greensboro, NC which lends no advantage to either side. Virginia Tech is not of the same stature of recent edition but Notre Dame is just dreadful. The Hokies who defeated Duke in the ACC final last season are seeded No. 11 this year while the Fighting Irish are seeded No.14 and have lost eight of their last nine as Mike Brey remains coach for his last game. ND is 4-9 ATS in neutral sites while VT likes to beat up on the little guys and are 20-6 ATS in their last 26 games against teams with  a winning percentage below 40%. Add that the favorite is 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings. Take VIRGINIA TECH!

San Francisco vs Gonzaga 11:30 ET

Bulldogs (-) over Dons- San Francisco has already won a pair of WCC tourney games including a 93-87 double-overtime win over Santa Clara Saturday night. they are 4-12-1 ATS after scoring 90 points in their previous game and they are 10-23 ATS after a SU win. The Dons must now face the Bulldogs who are the No. 2 seed and a team that they have lost to 26 straight times including twice this season. The beat goes on...take GONZAGA!

Wisconsin at Minnesota 7:30 ET

Badgers (-) over Golden Gophers- I can not remember a Wisconsin team that has been in this position before, needing a win and strong run through the Big Ten Tournament to qualify for the Big Dance. They have been very consistent over the years taking pride in having one of the best defenses in the nation. Although they have slipped a bit they still only are allowing just 63.7 PPG but their offense hasn’t picked up any slack at all scoring just 65.0 PPG. The goof here is that Minnesota is one of the worst shooting teams in the country and that includes all aspects including Free Throws where they barely make over 60% (61.7% to be exact). The Golden Gophers just ended a 12-game losing streak with a buzzer beating shot against Rutgers and that is it for them. They shot their load and their season is finished and they know it. Gophers 4-9-1 ATS after a SU win. Take WISCONSIN!  

Northwestern at Rutgers 7:30 ET

Scarlet Knights (-) over Wildcats- The Scarlet Knights took a big hit Thursday as Big Ten bottom feeder Minnesota upset their karma as they blew a 10-point lead with 1:15 to play. Northwestern who seem like a lock for the NCAA tourney after winning five straight bring their record to 20-7 but have now dropped three straight and need momentum and a confidence builder. The visiting Knights captured a road win 65-63 in the first meeting as the visitor is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings and the Wildcats are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games. The Scarlet Knights are 11-4 ATS at home this season.  Take RUTGERS

Michigan at Indiana 4:30 ET

Wolverines (+) over Hoosiers- I knew that it would come down to this game and so did both the Wolverines and Hoosiers. Michigan is on the bubble as they have been all season and all those close losses and overtime defeats will not mean a thing if they do not win somewhere. This would be a great spot for that as No. 15 Indiana is 14-2 SU at home. Wolves 4-0 ATS in their last four road games and the road team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Take MICHIGAN!

Illinois at Purdue 12:30 ET

Boilermakers (-) over Fighting Illini- I know that Purdue has won the Big Ten regular season title and will have a double-bye 2hen the conference tourney starts while Illinois is in a log-jam with five other teams tied for second. Purdue is just 3-4 since losing to arch rival Indiana as their 3-point shot has deserted them. The Boilermakers won last year in over-tine as Zach Edey was the difference and I expect more of the same Sunday as the home team is 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Take PURDUE!  

Connecticut at Villanova 7:30 ET

Huskies over Wildcats-These two will fight like cats and dogs today as they both are playing their best of the season right now. Connecticut of course got off to that great start and were actually ranked No. 1 for about 45-minutes but have won their last four games and in a convincing manner. Villanova hasn’t had the best of years as Jay Wright is surly missed but they have won their last three. The Huskies posted a win but the Wildcats got the money in the first meeting. This game is off campus in Philadelphia and UCONN is 3-0 at neutral sites while Nova is 1-4. Take CONNECTICUT!

Pittsburgh at Miami-FL 6:30 ET

Panthers (+) over Hurricanes- The Hurricanes are in a 3-way tie for the ACC regular season title with the Panthers and Virginia and would seem to have an edge over Pittsburgh as the are 15-1 SU at home. The later got caught in a look-ahead as the Panthers lost at Notre Dame on Wednesday. In the first meeting the Canes were a beaten 1.5-point favorite 71-68. Panthers are 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 road games and the road team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take PITTSBURGH!

Utah at Colorado 5:30 ET

Utes (+) over Buffaloes- Colorado enters their regular season finale at .500 after three straight losses and they most likely will be without their leading scorer. Utah has not had the kind of season expected and have dropped their last four putting their once secure NCAA berth in jeopardy. The Buffs are 3-9 ATS after an ATS win and 2-6 ATS after a SU loss. The road team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take UTAH!

Kansas at Texas 4:00 ET

Longhorns over Jayhawks- No. 3 Kansas has won the Big-12 regular season title and will be traveling to Austin the face No. 9 Texas. The Longhorns would have had a shot at the title except for their loss a TCU last time out and at Baylor the games before that. The Longhorns are 7-1 ATS in games after a SU loss. In the first meeting the Jayhawks used the home court to advantage and won 88-80. The home team is 30-1 ATS in the last four meetings. Take TEXAS!

Tennessee at Auburn 2:00 ET

Volunteers over Tigers- A win by the Volunteers here would assure them a double-bye for the SEC playoffs and mostly likely get them a third seed in the NCAAs. Auburn should be a bit down-trodden after blowing a late lead to arch-rival Alabama last time out. I always expect good thing from Bruce Pearls but the Tigers are either not that good or just under-achievers. The Volunteers one way or the other it will be the tougher defense that wins here...take TENNESSEE!  

Alabama at Texas A&M 12:00 ET

Aggies (+) over Crimson Tide- Alabama like so often the on the gridiron is the SEC regular season Champion on the hardwood as they finished 15-0 in conference play at home. Texas A&M who is 14-1 at home in SEC action has defeated the Tide four straight time and previous to that Bama had won six straight in the series. The Aggies are locked into the second seed and the underdog is 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings. Aggies are 23-9 ATS after a SU win while the Tide is 0-4 after a SU win and have nothing to play for. Take TEXAS A&M!

Washington State at Washington 11:00 ET

Cougars over Huskies- Now, let us look at this match-up closely. Here is Washington State at 15-15 on the road against their arc rival Washington who is 16-14 (not much difference so far) and favored. Here’s the rum, the Cougars are just 3-8 SU and ATS on the road and the Huskies are 12-5 SU at home. Granted State has won their last five to bring themselves to .500 and the Huskies have lost five of the last seven meetings. With the road team 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings I’ll follow that trend. Take WASHINGTON STATE!

Purdue at Wisconsin 9:00 ET

Badgers (+) over Boilermakers- Purdue who spent more time as No. 1 in the country than any other team has dropped four of their last six and fallen to No. 5  but still are guaranteed a share of the Big Ten title. Part of the problem for the Boilermakers who have the most intimating inside game with 7-4 Zach Edey is three point shooting where they have fallen short. For Wisconsin any kind of shooting has been a nightmare. The Badgers are 5-10 since their six game winning streak ended in early January. The home team is 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings and the Badgers swept both games last season. Purdue is 0-3-1 ATS in their last four road games and Whisky is 4-0 ATS after a straight up loss. Take WISCONSIN!

Michigan at Illinois 7:00 ET

Wolverines (+) over Fighting Illini- This Illinois team is probably the most over-rated basketball team in college basketball (except probably for the Tar Heels) and yet they are 19-10 on the season which includes 14-2 SU at home. I don’t know why I say this because they are a stellar 17-12 ATS on the year. This match-up has the Wolverines trying to move off the bubble while the Illini ar4 fighting to stay away from it. Since Juwan Howard took over at Michigan they have yet to defeat Illinois and are 0-5 SU and 0-5 ATS. The Blue Maze are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games while Illinois is 1-4 ATS in their last five. Take MICHIGAN!

Penn State at Northwestern 9:00 ET

Nittany Lions (+) over Wildcats- Northwestern who has made the NCAA Tournament only once in school history in 2017 and with wins at Purdue and at Michigan State believe that they have done enough to qualify. The problem with is that you can never trust what the selection committee may be thinking. Penn State fell to Rutgers Sunday after building a 19-point second half lead and are 12-4 ATS after a SU loss. They are looking to rebound against a team that they have beaten six of the last seven meetings. Take PENN STATE!

Oklahoma at Kansas State 8:00 ET

Sooners (+) over Wildcats- No. 11 Kansas State has been a surprise to many in the Big-12 but not so much to Oklahoma who handed the Wildcats one of their conference losses 79-65 on Valentines Day. K.State is 15-1 SU at home and 12-4 ATS. The Sooners will only reach the NCAA tourney by winning the Big-12 playoff which seems unlikely based on what they have done this season. But, they have built confidence with a road with at Iowa State Saturday and look to cause trouble for the Cats here as they are 13-6 ATS after a SU win. The underdog is 11-5-1 ATS in the last 17 meetings. Take OKLAHOMA!

Maryland at Ohio State 7:00 ET

Buckeyes (+) over Terrapins- No. 21 Maryland is 11-7 in Big Ten action including a stellar 10-0 at home which means that they have won just one of eight on the road. Ohio State just won a game at home on Sunday after losing nine straight and 14 of 15 overall. Finally with a win under their belt the Buckeyes are feeling better about themselves and look to ambush the Terrapins who defeated them 80-73 in early January. The home team is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings and they get the money here. Take OHIO STATE!

Villanova at Seton Hall 8:30 ET

Pirates (+) over Wildcats- Villanova who has not even approached the level of play they had when Jay Wright coached have won their last two games over ranked opponents Xavier and Creighton. The Wildcats are 3-9 ATS after SU win. Now, Seton Hall who just lost to Xavier and four of their last five seek revenge for a 58-54 loss at Villanova 17 days ago and the underdog is 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings. Take SETON HALL!

Iowa at Indiana 7:00 ET

Hawkeyes (+) over Hoosiers- No. 15 Indiana who is 14-1 SU at home is off a sweep over rival Purdue and have won 10 of their last 13. Iowa is off an improbable win over Michigan State where they trailed by 21 points in the first half and by 13 points with 2:03 remaining and won in OT ending a two-game slide. The Hawkeyes already have a home win over the Hoosiers and are 8-1 ATS after scoring 90 points or more in their previous game. And hey the Hoosiers are 3-10 ATS on Tuesdays. Take IOWA!

Clemson at Virginia 7:00 ET

Cavaliers (-) over Tigers- The Cavaliers were at the top of the ACC a week ago but a pair of road losses to Boston College and North Carolina have knocked them off their perch. Virginia returns home where they are 13-1 SU on the season and have dominated Clemson winning 12 of the last 13 meetings. The Tigers are off their best performance of the year defeating NC State by 25-points and will not come close to that tonight as they are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games. The Cavaliers are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games and score here. Take VIRGINIA!

Baylor at Oklahoma State 9:00 ET

Cowboys (+) over Bears- Boy does this line look bogus or what! Here is No. 9 Baylor off a huge comeback win over Texas on Saturday. Oklahoma State on the other hand is moving in the opposite direction at this time having lost their last four and seem to have played themselves off the bubble. The Bears won the first meeting easily 74-58 as a 7.5-point favorite their only cover in the last five meetings between the two. The Cowboys are 11-4 SU in their last 15 home games and the underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Baylor has not been their best on the road where they are 4-5 SU overall and 1-3-1 ATS in their last five games away fro Waco. Take OKLAHOMA STATE!

Rutgers at Penn State 6:30 ET

Scarlet Knights (+) over Nittany Lions- Both of these clubs are 17-11 overall with Rutgers have a one-game edge in Big Ten play but both will need a strong finish to qualify for the Big Dance. Penn State has won their last three after a 4-game losing streak to start the Month while Rutgers is off a loss at home to Michigan and have dropped four of their last five overall. The Scarlet Knights are 9-3-1 ATS after a double digit home loss and 9-3 ATS against teams with winning records. Also note that the underdog is 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take RUTGERS!

Virginia at North Carolina 6:00 ET

Tar Heels (-) over Cavaliers- The ole gray mare ain’t what she used to be! Second year coach Hubert Davis is finding it difficult to win without Roy Williams leftovers. No. 6 Virginia who is not known for their shooting but their defense missed 17 of 21 attempt beyond the arc in their 63-48 loss as they were held to a season low in points and shooting 32% form the field. The Cavaliers didn’t shoot all that well in the first meeting (-4.5) this season in a 65-58 cover. The home team and favorite have dominated this series but that was when the Tar Heels could play as they are 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 games against teams with winning records. take VIRGINIA!

Auburn at Kentucky 4:00 ET

Tigers and Wildcats- Auburn coach Bruce Pearl is supposed to be one of the better college basketball coaches in the nation and yet his Tigers have lost to the Wildcats in Kentucky 19 straight times and are 2-50 SU lifetime in Rupp Arena. (As my dearly departed from Larry Ness would say ‘How bout dat!’ The Tigers have lost 4-of-6 and are in need of a quick turnaround. Still, already with nine losses Kentucky is now cut from their usual cloth as they ranked 114th on both offense and defense and that doesn’t make the grade. The Tigers defense will  show up as they allow 10 less points per game than do the Wildcats and that will spell the difference.Take AUBURN!

Texas A&M at Mississippi State 3:00 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Aggies- Texas A&M was a Megabucks winner for us all on Tuesday defeating No. 11 Tennessee for their sixth straight win as they are determined not to get shut over of the Big Dance like last season despite 23 victories. The Aggies are 12-3 in SEC action and the Bulldogs need every win (19) they can get to sneak into the tourney. Mississippi State has won six of eight after a 4-game losing streak and are 10-4 SU at home. The Aggies are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 road games and are 23-9 ATS against teams with 60% or better winning percentage and the Dogs are 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 home games.Take TEXAS A&M!

Texas at Baylor 2:00 ET

Longhorns (+) over Bears- No. 8 and No. 9 clash in the Big-12 as Baylor host Texas. The Longhorns are the higher ranked team wit two more wins on the season and in conference play and they have six wins over Top-25 ranked teams. The Bears have dropped a pair after having won 10-of-11 games and dropped a 76-71 decision in Austin three weeks ago. Baylor is just 1-4 ATS in home games against teams with winning records and the road team is 18-8 ATS in the last 26 meetings. Take TEXAS!

Kansas State at Oklahoma State 2;00 ET

Cowboys (-) over Wildcats- Kansas State holds a tie-breaker against Baylor after defeating them for the second time this season earlier in the week as they have won back-to-back games after dropping for of five. Oklahoma State has dropped three straight after winning five in-a-row and so go streaks. Cowboys coach Mike Boynton says the loss of guard Avery Anderson III and big man Moussa Cisse has hurt team chemistry. The Wildcats are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games against teams with winning records while the Cowboys are 1-4 ATS against teams with winning records and I’ll add that the road team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take KANSAS STATE!  

Oklahoma at Iowa State 12:00 ET

Cyclones (+) over Sooners- What has happened to the Cyclones? After posting early impressive victories they have dropped four of five and six of the last eight including their last two at Kansas State and Texas and return home to host Oklahoma. The Sooners haven’t done any better as they have lost six of their last seven and are off a home drubbing by Texas Tech. with only three Big-12 wins the Sooners have one shinning moment a 24-point win over No. 1 Alabama in the Big-12/SEC showdown and have lost their next four games by a total of 75 points. Iowa State nipped OK 63-60 in Lawton but is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. It is time for the Sooners to come and play and give a struggling club all that it cam handle. Take OKLAHOMA!

Xavier at Seton Hall 7:00 ER

Musketeers (-) over Pirates- No. 16 Xavier like so many ranked teams have done have hit a rough patch and have lost three of their last four and all three of the last road games including blowing a 13-point lead against lowly Villanova last time out and their downturn continues here. The Musketeers are 9-3-1 ATS after a loss and the visitor is 8-0 ATS in the lat eight meetings. But the Pirates are 10-4 at home and the underdog is 14-2 ATS in the last 16 meetings. Take SETON HALL!

Northwestern at Illinois 9:00 ET

Fighting Illini (-) over Wildcats- No. 21 ranked Northwestern is a sizable underdog to un-ranked Illinois who was at the season’s start was ranked in the Top-10. (right and North Carolina was ranked No. 1) The Wildcats are off a rout over Iowa and are looking for a season sweep of the Illini. In the first meeting a 73-60 win at home Northwestern made 32 of 40 free throw attempts while Illinois was 6-of-10. That shit reverses it’s self tonight. Take ILLINOIS!

Kentucky at Florida 7:00 ET

Gators (+) over Wildcats-Like most of John Calipari’s Kentucky teams they get better as the season wares on because for the most part every season he has to mode a new cast of characters. The Wildcats have won their last two and are off a 66-54 romp over No. 10 Tennessee. Florida who has been disappointing this season will be without leading scorer, rebounder and shot blocker Colin Castleton  and he will be gone the rest of he season. But, the Wildcats are 7-16-1 ATS on the road against winning teams and the Gators are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games. Take FLORIDA!

Vanderbilt at LSU 7:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Commodores- Vanderbilt is on their longest five streak in eight years as they have captured five straight wins while LSU has lost 14 straight after starting winning 11 of 12 non-conference games and opened the SEC season with a win over then No. 9 Arkansas. The numbers are ugly for the Tigers but the home team is 5-0-1 ATS in the last six meetings and should get the money here. Take LSU!

Providence at Connecticut 6:30 ET

Huskies (-) over Friars- The numbers in this match-up are heavy on the Friars as they are 15-4 ATS in their 19 games overall including 7-2 ATS on the road. For Connecticut has been a season going in reverse as they were at one point ranked No. 1 (as have eight others) before take a negative turn. The Huskies are off a 64-55 win over Seton Hall and have actually won four of five. The home team is 9-2 ATS in the last 11 games in this series. Take CONNECTICUT!

Texas Tech at Oklahoma 9:00 ET

Red Raiders (+) over Sooners- Tech Tech lost heir first eight Big-12 contests but are making a rally as they have now won three in-a-row including wins over ranked  teams with victories over No. 12 Kansas State and No. 6 Texas. Oklahoma who is under .500 just lost an overtime battle against Texas as they have dropped eight of their last 10 with just three point spread covers in their last 111 games. Red Raiders are 4-0 ATS in their last four games and the dog is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take TEXAS TECH!

Mississippi State at Missouri 7:00 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Tigers- Both of these squads are looking yo make a final NCAA Tourney push the final two weeks of the regular season and conference playoffs. The Bulldogs have a 63-52 win under their belt from the first meeting in Starkville. State is 5-0 ATS in their last five road games and 7-1 ATS in their last eight games overall. Missouri is 1-3-1 ATS in their last five home games and 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games overall. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE!

Miami at Virginia Tech 7;00 ET

Hokies over Hurricanes- Right now Virginia Tech is on the outside looking in at the NCAA bubble and they will need to duplicate last season’s feat of making a run in the final weeks before the selection committee does their thing. No. 13 Miami with 22 wins should have no such issue as they have won six-in-a-row and defeated the Hokies 92-83 at home on Jan. 31. VT is 4-1 ATS in their last five home games while four of the Canes five losses have come on the road. Take VIRGINIA TECH!

Kansas at TCU 9:00 ET

Horned Frogs over Jayhawks- Kansas defeated Baylor and us Saturday with a second half comeback for the ages as they won by 16 point after trailing by 17 points. TCU meanwhile finally broken back into the win column with the return of star Mike Miles Jr. TCU won the first meeting easily 83-60 and the Jayhawks are looking to atone for that performance but will find the going tough one again. Frogs are 9-2-1 ATS at home and get the money here. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN!

Iowa at Northwestern 6:30 ET

Hawkeyes over Wildcats- This just looks wrong to me. Northwestern has a record that is two games better overall then Iowa and one-game better in Bug Ten action, yet they have been deemed an underdogs at home. But, the Hawkeyes have won three in-a-row and five of six after an 0-3 Big Ten start. The opening favorite is 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings and they number say it will happen again. The Wildcats play a tougher brand of defense but the Hawkeyes can put the ball in the hoop averaging 81 PPG ranking 18th. Take IOWA!

Texas A&M at Missouri 6:00 ET

Aggies over Tigers-  Texas A&M has won six of their last seven as they make their march toward the Big Dance. Las t season the Aggies won 23 games and were left out of the NCAA Tournament and this year they are looking to impress the selection committee. Missouri is good enough to beat Tennessee and then showed their true colors by getting routed by Auburn. The Aggies already pounded the Tigers 82-64 on Jan. 11 and are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 road games. Mizzu is just 1-3-1 ATS in their last five games overall and the underdog is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take TEXAS A&M!

Baylor at Kansas 4:00 ET

Bears (+) over Jayhawks- Talk about home court advantages the Jayhawks are 18-1 SU over Baylor while hosting in Lawrence the past 20 seasons. But the Bears after a slow start are the hottest team in the Big-12 and have won 10 of their last 11. At 9-4 in Big-12 action they share the conference lead nut the bears own the tie breaker with 75-69 home win three weeks ago. The Bears are 36-17-3 ATS in their last 56 road games and KU is 1-4 ATS in their last five home games against teams with winning records. Take BAYLOR!  

Iowa State at Kansas State 

Cyclones Wildcats- believe it or not the Big-12 is one of the better basketball conferences in the nation and teams like these are among conference leaders because of the great balance. Both of these clubs have fallen off their quick pace as Kansas State has lost five of seven and the Cyclones haven’t won two in-a-row since early January. Iowa State has struggled on the road but as they say defense travels well in big games and this is big for both sides. The road team and the under are both 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Cats 11-3 ATS in their last 14 against teams with winning records. Take IOWA STATE!  

Texas Tech at West Virginia 12:00 ET

Mountaineers (-) over Red Raiders- There are so many reasons to on West Virginia I get excited about it all and can’t wait for this game to start. Well, that’s one side of it, the Red Raiders enter Morgantown have won four straight since a loss at home the the Mountaineers beating three ranked teams in Iowa State, Kansas State and Texas and they must be feeling pretty good about themselves where as UWV has dropped there last two at Baylor and Texas. Tech is 1-6 SU on the road and 2-8 in their last 10 meetings as visitors. But, the thing that bothers me is the behavior of a number of the Mountaineers talented young club losses their composure. Still, Huggins should have his team ready to mug the Raiders. Take WEST VIRGINIA!

Ohio State at Iowa 9:00 ET

Buckeyes (+) over Hawkeyes- The eyes have it one way or another as the Buckeyes visit the Hawkeyes who they defeated 93-77 for their lone victory in their last 12 games. It has been 25 years since the Buckeyes finished under .500 of the season and they need to go some the rest of the way to even make the also-ran tournaments. OSU is 8-2 ATS after a double-digit loss at home (they were crushed by Michigan State 62-41). Take OHIO STATE!

Colorado at Arizona State 8:00 ET

Buffaloes (+) over Sun Devils- Three weeks ago Arizona State was looking like a cinch for the NCAA tourney (15-3) but have dropped five of eight since and are playing their way into the NIT. Colorado has its own woes as they have dropped six of their last nine games and are 1-8 SU on the road. ASU won the first meeting 60-59 and the Buffs look to even the series here as the road team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and the Sun Devils are 1-8 ATS in their last nine games overall. Take COLORADO!

Purdue at Maryland 6:30 ET

Terrapins (+) over Boilermakers- Since the Boilermakers established a school record by winning 22 of their first 23 games they have dropped two-of-three. Purdue eked out a 58-55 win at Maryland three weeks ago and the Terrapins are looking to use their strong home court advantage where they are 13-1 SU and look to extract a measure of revenge here. The Boilermakers are 1-3-1 ATS in the road games against winning teams. Take MARYLAND!  

Arkansas at Texas A&M 9:30 ET

Razorbacks (+) over Aggies- These two seem evenly matched although A&M has a 1-game better record and the Razorbacks have won the first meeting 81-70 but the Aggies have still won 12 of its past 14 games. Arkansas was ranked as high as #9 before losing four straight and recovered by winning 5-of-6 before their defeat Saturday by Mississippi State. The underdog is 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings. Take ARKANSAS!

Kentucky at Mississippi State 8:30 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Wildcats- Tings change...and a once proud basketball program finds themselves struggling and losing respect from the odds-makers and the pollsters as Kentucky is not ranked and with nine losses where they will be in the post season is a question. most likely the NCAAs but they will be lucky to be seeded anywhere. They have dropped their last two and the second at Georgia while the Bulldogs are chomping for that bid and have won their last five but the Wildcats have been without two starters not that should matter the way Calipari recruits. There is something and more than just something missing with this Kentucky team as they are 8-18 ATS on the road and 6-13 ATS against winning teams. The hungry Bulldogs are 6-0 ATS in their last six overall and the favorite is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE!

Alabama at Tennessee 7:00 ET

Volunteers over Crimson Tide- The is No.1 and they should be as they have probably played the best basketball overall among their peers. After a shattering loss at Oklahoma Alabama bounced back with a crushing win over Vanderbilt 101-44 as the shot 59% from the floor and then posted 10 and 29-points wins over LSU and Florida before taking down rival Auburn 77-69. Tennessee who handled Texas the day after the Tide loss has gone in the opposite direction losing 3-of-4 going 0-4 ATS with their win coming over Auburn as 46-43. If the tides and time have worked for us the Volunteers should be ready to play. So, here is the nation’s No.1 team an underdog to a struggling club that has had consecutive one-point losses to Vanderbilt and Missouri. Take TENNESSEE!

Kansas at Oklahoma State 9:00 ET

Cowboys (+) over Jayhawks- the cowboys know that they can play with Kansas as they took them to task earlier in the season holding a 15-points halftime lead before bowing 67-65. Kansas was No. 3 at the time and that doesn’t bother Oklahoma State as they took down No. 11 Iowa State 64-56 in Ames last Saturday. Then Cowboys are 11-2 SU at home and the home team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take OKLAHOMA STATE!

Michigan at Wisconsin 9:00 ET

Wolverines (+) over Badgers- One of the biggest jokes being played on the college basketball fan is that Wisconsin van play basketball and will make a run at the NCAAS Tourney. But, I have news for you all, they are going anywhere meaningful. The Badgers are not a very good basketball team and last weak blew a 17-point lead to a dog like Nebraska. They ranked 331 in points scored and 317 in shooting percentage. Take MICHIGAN!  

Creighton at Providence 7:00 ET

Bluejays (-) over Friars- Creighton opened the season with six straight victories and then hit a wall and lost their next six and have now won eight straight in Big East play and is moving up the charts. Not so much for Providence who is off a loss to Connecticut and has dropped 2 of 3 while splitting their last eight. The Bluejays are feeling it and are 9-3 ATS on the road against winning teams. The Friars have little depth and their bench was out-scored 23-4 against lowly St. Johns. Take CREIGHTON!

Texas at Texas Tech 9:00 ET

Red Raiders (+) over Longhorns- Texas Tech is just 1-game over .500 on the year but they rise when playing top ranked teams as they have wins over No. 12 Kansas State and No. 13 Iowa State. No 5 Texas is off a 94-60 beat down of West Virginia and they are 7-20 ATS after a SU win. The Longhorns eked out a 72-70 home win in the first meeting this season in Austin but are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games  and the underdog is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings. Take TEXAS TECH!

Purdue at Northwestern 2;00 ET

Wildcats (+) over Purdue- The Northwestern Cagers are much like their football counterparts and that is to say that they are always under-rated. Purdue of course is ranked No. 1 and they are not over-rated as their 7-foot-4 center Zach Edey leads their way not only on offense but defensively as his 14 rebounds and five blocked shots against Iowa last time out. The Wildcats are off a pair of road wins over Wisconsin and Ohio State and they return home to host the No.1 team and will have a Super Sunday. Take NORTHWESTERN!

Kansas State at Texas Tech 7:00 ET

Red Raiders (+) over Wildcats- Kansas State have not won in Lubbock since 2014 losing eight straight times. Since starting 15-1 the Wildcats are 4-4 in their last eight defeating the Red Raiders 68-58 three weeks ago. Tech is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 overall and the underdogs is 5-1 ATS the last six meetings. Take TEXAS TECH!

Mississippi State at Arkansas 6:00 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Razorbacks- Arkansas has won their last three after going 4-5 in January when they lost four straight. Mississippi State has won four straight themselves with three straight double-digit wins over south Carolina, Missouri and LSU and they have covered their last four after five straight ATS losses. This one plays close. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE!

Indiana at Michigan 6:00 ET

Hoosiers (+) over Wolverines- Now that Michigan has won three straight games the faithful are taking a deep run into the post season. But, they should think of who they defeated...the likes of Nebraska, Northwestern and Ohio State who are not exactly powerhouses. The Wolves are 9-22 ATS i their last 23 games after a win. Indiana has won their last two including a victory over No. 1 Purdue and seven of eight overall. The Hoosiers are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games against teams with winning records and the underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take INDIANA!

Alabama at Auburn 2:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Crimson Tide- We are use seeing Alabama undefeated in SEC action we just are not used to seeing them undefeated in SEC basketball action. Currently 11-0 the Crimson Tide have matched the Tide best ever record after 24 games matching the 1975-76 Cagers. Auburn has lost four of their last five but they are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 home games against teams with winning records. The Tigers swept both games last season and get the money here. Take AUBURN!  

Rutgers at Illinois 2:00 ET

Scarlet Knights (+) over Fighting Illini- Illinois has been one of the more disappointing team sin the Big Ten this season and have fallen out of the Top-25. Once ranked in the Top-10 the Illini have not played since their 81-79 loss but cover at Iowa. The Scarlet Knights trail all-time in the series 10-4 but have won three of the last four and get the money today. Take RUTGERS!

West Virginia at Texas 12:00 ET

Longhorns (+) over Mountaineers- Texas has just played four straight games against opponents ranked among the Top-11 teams going 2-2 SU and ATS. West Virginia has been wildly inconsistent as their problem flow on and off the court. Things have not gone well with coach Bob Huggins as individual egos surface and team play suffers. Mountaineers are 6-13 ATS on the road against team with winning records while the Longhorns are 5-0 ATS after a SU loss. Take TEXAS!

Iowa at Purdue 7:00 ET

Hawkeyes (+) over Boilermakers- Purdue maintains their No. 1 ranked position despite losing at Indiana on Saturday ans are 22-2 on the year. Iowa has picked up their pace winning their last three and seven of their past nine. The Hawkeyes are 6-1 ATS against teams winning 60% or more and the road team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Purdue is 4-12-3 ATS after a SU loss. Take IOWA!

Wisconsin at Penn State 8:30 ET

Badgers (+) over Nittany Lions- Wisconsin is a team that has relied on defense the past three decades and have provided at least a moderate offense. This season their offense is so weak that even their reliable defense is suffering. The Badgers defeated the Lions 63-60 at home ending a three game losing streak and now have dropped four of the next five. Penn State is fallen off the pace and have lost six of their last nine. This is a team the Badgers know they can beat and the underdog is 20-6 ATS in the last 26 meetings and the road team is7-2 ATS in the last nine. Taker WISCONSIN!

Iowa State at West Virginia 7:00 ET

Cyclones (+) over Mountaineers- West Virginia Coach and former police officer has his hands full this season trying to discipline some of his more excitable players whose behavior on and off the court has been deplorable (How’s dat Hillary). The Mountaineers have won three of their last four including a 93-61 rout of Oklahoma on Saturday. Iowa State under T.J. Otzelberger has instilled a defensive mine set that has the Cyclone defense forcing turnovers and allowing just 61 PPG ranked No. 13 in the nation. The Mountaineers are just 4-6 SU at home and are just 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games overall. Take IOWA STATE!

TCU at Kansas State 9:00 ET

Horned Frogs (+) over Wildcats- TCU has hit a rough spot as their leading scorer Mike Miles Jr. has been sidelined with a knee injury and is questionable tonight. They dropped a 70-73 decision to Oklahoma State Saturday but are 6-0 ATS after a SU loss. The Horned Frogs forced Kansas state into 20 turnovers in the first meetings an 82-68 win in Fort Worth and the road team is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take TCU! 

NC State at Virginia 9:00 ET

Cavaliers (-) over Wolfpack- Both clubs are currently playing their best basketball of the season as NC State has won four straight and eight of nine while Virginia has won seven of their last eight with the loss coming against Virginia Tech last time out. Virginia has a 14-5 series edge since Tony Bennett took over coaching the Cavs. NC State is so inconsistent that they are 9-21-1 ATS in their last 31 games following a SU win. Take VIRGINIA!

Mississippi at Georgia 7:00 ET

Rebels (+) over Bulldogs- The best thing about this match-up other than us having the winning is that at least one of these dregs will post a win. Mississippi has dropped five in-a-row awhile the bulldogs were humiliated by Texas A&M losing their fifth in six tries. Georgia defeated Mississippi in their house 62-58 as a 5-point underdog as the dog is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings with the road team going 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. Ugly side but Rebels even series. Take MISSISSIPPI!

Auburn at Texas A&M 7:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Aggies- Auburn has fallen out of the Top-25 after losing to Tennessee Saturday in what coach Bruce Pearl called their worst shooting night of the year a disappointment as they held the Volunteers to 27% shooting from the floor and still got beat 46-43. The Aggies are coming off their best shooting game of the season pounding Georgia 82-57 hitting 50% of the shots. Both clubs should move toward the middle after their extreme performances. The road team is 13-4 ATS in the last 17 meetings. Take AUBURN!

Rutgers at Indiana 6:30 ET

Scarlet knights (+) over Hoosiers- Wins don’t come any bigger to the Indiana basketball program and a victory over intrastate rival Purdue, especially when they are ranked no. 1 in the nation. the Hoosiers come off a wire-to-wire domination of the Boilermakers on Saturday and provided us with a Power Play win. Sell, now that they can breath easy and congratulate themselves they will have to suffer the pangs of defeat as the Scarlet Knights come into Bloomington and show no respect. Take RUTGERS!

Texas at Kansas

Longhorns (+) over Jayhawks- How about this when Kansas lost to Iowa State (Early-Bird) winner they dropped four of five in conference play for the first time in 34 years. We were pleased with that result and even happier with our Megabucks winner Texas coming-from-behind to defeat Kansas State. Since Chris Beard beat-up his girl friend and was relieved of his coaching duties the Longhorns are 12-3 and 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall. Jayhawks are just 1-5 ATS in their last six home games and the road teams is 12-4-1 ATS in the last 17 meetings. Take TEXAS!

Duke at Miami 7:00 ET

Blue Devils (+) over Hurricanes- At first glance it might seem that the wrong team is ranked as the Miami Hurricanes under Jim Larranaga are ahead of Duke in the ACC standings. In the first meeting between these two the Blue Devils prevailed at home in  a 68-66 win and non-cover over the Hurricanes. The underdog has gotten the money in the last four meetings. Take DUKE!

Northwestern at Wisconsin 6:30 ET

Wildcats (+)v over Badgers- One huge difference between this years Wisconsin teams of the past 22 of the last 23 made it to the Big Dance and this season they probably will fall short because of their offensive woes. Even in their 65-60 victory at Ohio State on Thursday they went the final 7:18 without scoring a field goal. The Wildcats who have made only one NCAA Tournament appearance in 2017 have 15 wins and snapped their seven game losing streak against Wisconsin with a 66-63 home win over the Badgers and haven’t swept the series since 1996 (Jeter’s rookie year). The fact of the matter is that the Wildcats player better defense and shoot the ball better and get the win here. Badgers are 1-7 ATS against teams with winning records. Take NORTHWESTERN!

Ohio State at Michigan 1:00 ET

Buckeyes (+) over Wolverines- Both of these football power are not so much on the hardwood although Michigan has proven it can win while the Buckeyes always seem a play of two away. Ohio State won their first two conference games and then dropped three straight and eight of nine. The Wolverines are coming off a win at Northwestern and that spells trouble as they are 5-12-1 ATS in their last 18 games after a SU win and 7-22 after an ATS win. Add that the road team is 4-0 ATS the last four meetings. Take OHIO STATE!

Gonzaga at St. Mary’s 10:30 ET

Gaels (-) over Bulldogs- The West Coast Conference has been dominated by Gonzaga for the past 20 years that is for sure but every once in a while they encounter some competition and this time around and for the most part if they had any competition in  the WCC it was from St. Mary’s. It always seems that the Gaels are a threat until they go head-to-head and then the Bulldogs bite. Well, their bark is louder than their bite this season and they can be had...and that is why they are underdogs here. Take ST. MARY’S!   

Florida at Kentucky 8:30 ET

Gators-  over Wildcats These two squads have one thing in common and that they both have defeated Tennessee a team who has a chance to win the NCAA Tourney which neither of these can do. Both clubs are coming off victories but the gators win at Tennessee Wednesday will have them patting themselves on the back and now have the confidence to win here as they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games overall. I’m sure Calipari will have his Carts hungry but the Gators will be chomping. The road team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take FLORIDA

Syracuse at Boston College 5:00 ET

Eagles (+) over Orange- As I have said numerous time this season Syracuse should not be favored on the road against anyone even a sub-par Boston College team. The Eagles are coming off their second win over a Top-25 squad after defeating Clemson the ACC leader 62-54. The Orange (aren’t there orange people out there who wist to protest their name change) have defeated BC nine straight time but have lost their last three and the eagles are 5-1 ATS in their last six games at home. Take BOSTON COLLEGE

Purdue at Indiana 4:00 ET

Hoosiers over Boilermakers- This one sets up perfectly and some times when you get too cocky about a situation it can all cave in on you. Geez, I hope that is not the case here where I have a club that was caught in a classic look-ahead road game and were destroyed as the Hoosiers fell st Maryland 66-55. Purdue has been taking care of business and have won nine straight since being upset  65-64 by Rutgers. As far as college basketball goes there is no in state rivalry any stronger than in Indiana, where basketball between these two long time adversaries has the attention of the entire state. Hoosiers are 19-9 ATS in their last 28 home games and Purdue oddly enough is 0-7 ATS the last seven Saturday’s. Take INDIANA!

Texas at Kansas State 4:00 ET

Longhorns over Wildcats- Its been a great run for Kansas State bt I believe the early season flash has faded and that they are a go against club right now. It is sort like the woke up and said ‘What are we doing here!’...Texas has won six of seven since falling to Kansas State 116-103 in the highest scoring game in K State history and it will not repeat itself. The lack of a balanced offense is the Wildcats weakness and the Longhorns will exploit it. Take TEXAS!  

Kansas at Iowa State 12:00 ET

Cyclones (+) over Jayhawks- Kansas hold a serious lifetime advantage (189-66) over Iowa State and that is always a concern but this Cyclone team is well coached and takes pride in their defense. After dropping five straight to the number and three games straight-up the Jayhawks have gotten it together with a part of convincing wins over Kentucky and Kansas State. They gained a measure of revenge against the Wildcats having lost in their first meeting. That’s the case with the Cyclones here who were beaten by the Jayhawks 62-60 on Jan.14 and will now even the score. Take IOWA STATE!

Houston at Wichita State 9:00 ET

Cougars (-) over Shockers- Looking at this game I wonder if Houston is for real while I’m sure the shockers are not. Wichita State come off a has what it takes to run Wichita State7-19-1 ATS after a straight-up win. is just 6-6 SU at home and 3-9 ATS which is totally unacceptable. Cougars are 7-0 ATS on the road and 46-12-1 ATS after a ATS loss.and that’s amazing. Shockers blew past East Carolina last time out taking a 49-28 half-time lead. There is a reason this is a double-digit road favorite. Take HOUSTON!

Loyola Marymount at BYU 9:00 ET

Lions (+) over Cougars- Lions have four four in-a-row awhile BYU has dropped their last three. I believe that Loyola is a better team but they fall short at the free throw line where as a team they only made 66.7%. The big advantage for the Cougars is the history of the series. The favorite is 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings and the home teams is 4-0 ATS in last four meetings. BYU is 6-2 ATS in their last eight home games awhile ULM are 3-1-1 ATS on the road. Take MARYMOUNT!

Rice at Louisiana Tech 7:00 ET

Owls (+) over Bulldogs- I’m a numbers guy and really can’t say much about who is playing who on the court but number don’t lie. Rice is just a better team that not many are aware have won 15 of 21 games but one of those losses was at home to the Bulldogs 88-82 in OT on Jan 5, 2023. The Owls are 5-0-1 ATS on the road and LaTech is 5-12 ATS following an ATS win. Take RICE!

Villanova at Marquette 8:30 ET

Wildcats (+) over Golden Eagles- No. 14 Marquette has won eight of their last nine and are leading the Big East tied with Providence and Xavier. Villanova has not been the same since the departure of Jay Wright and are struggling to be .500. But the return of guard Justin Moore who missed the first 20 games which will help the Cats offense. These two are on opposite ends of the point-spread derby with Marquette 15-6 ATS and Villanova just 7-14 . The tide ebbs tonight. Take VILLANOVA.

Tennessee at Florida 7:00 ET

Gators (+) over Volunteers- No. 2 Tennessee has the No.1 overall defense in NCAA action allowing just 54.4 PPG and are also No. 1 in field goal shooting defense holding opponents to 34.5% shooting. Florida who is off a 64-50 loss at Kansas State play pretty tough defense themselves ranking No. 8 in defensive efficiency leading the SEC in blocking shots per game. The Vols have won seven of the last eight meetings but the home team is 10-32 ATS in the last 12 meetings and aside from their loss to the Wildcats the Gators are 5-1 ASTS in their last six games overall. Take FLORIDA!  

Kansas State at Kansas 8:00 ET

Jayhawks (-) over Wildcats-  This one should be a ‘dandy’ of a match-up as the state rivals meet for the second time this season. The Wildcats won the first meetings two weeks ago tonight and Kansas State won 83-82 at Kansas posting just their seventh win in the last 45 meetings and the have not swept the season series from the Jayhawks in 40 years. For the most part this has been a home court rivalry as the Home team is 22-7-2 ATS in the last 31 meetings and the Favorite is 37-15-2 ATS in the last 54 meetings overall. Revenge is sweet...take KANSAS!

Clemson at Boston College 7:00 ET

Eagles (+) over Tigers- Clemson must have their sports mixed up as their basketball team leads the ACC with a 10-1 conference record as common record for their football team but the cagers...not so much as they have never won an ACC regular season title. The Tigers only ACC loss came at Wake Forest two weeks ago tonight as they have won three straight games since. The Tigers are 10-1 against Boston College since the Eagles came over from the Big East including a perfect 5-0 at Chestnut Hill. The Eagles have yet to be a predator this season but are in a great spot here as the odds-makers see a Tigers trap. Take BOSTON COLLEGE!

Virginia Tech at Miami 7:00 ET

Hokies (+) over Hurricanes-Virginia Tech has one player that they can not be without and that is guard Hunter Cattoor who when missing from the lineup the Hokies are win-less. He will be ready tonight for Tech who is 5-1 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win. After a 13-1 start Miami has dropped four of seven alternating wins and losses. The Hurricanes are under-sized and he just one offensive rebound against Pittsburgh last time out as they blew an eight-point lead with just 2:26 remaining in the game. Take VIRGINIA TECH!

Iowa State at Texas Tech 9:00 ET

Red Raiders (+) over Cyclones- Talk about a we’ll get even with you guys game Texas tech remembers heartily the 84-50 beating they took at the handle of the Cyclones in Ames three weeks ago tonight. Iowa State shot up in the polls after that one and began to red their headlines and have dropped three of five since. State coach T.J. Otzelberger is not happy with his clubs defense as they allowed a season high 78 points at Missouri Saturday. Beating LSU is no big feat this season but that win ended and eight game losing streak for the Red Raiders and turned the tide of confidence needed to win tonight. Take TEXAS TECH!

Baylor at Texas 9:00 T

Longhorns (-) over Bears- Texas one of the more physical college basketball out there feel that they got out muscled at Tennessee on Saturday an 82-71 loss and it was never realty that close. Baylor has won six straight and a three game slide Although the Longhorns are 12-1 SU at home they are less than impressive 6-7 ATS. The Bears have been winning but against who as they are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games against teams with winning percentages above .600. The Longhorns are 4-0 ATS in their last four games after a loss and the home team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. Take TEXAS!

Virginia at Syracuse 7:00 ET

Cavaliers (-) over Orange- Ya know I’m not sure which mascot name change I am annoyed with most between the Red Storm for St. John’s or for Orange for Syracuse (now who exactly does it offend when calling them Orangemen...really). For this reason I will take Virginia tonight, nah I have real reasons. No. 7 Virginia was so unimpressive early but like many well coached teams they get better as the season progresses and some get much better. The Cavaliers have won six games in a row while Syracuse has dropped three-of-four and with their weaker than most seasons talent level will most likely end up in the NIT. Take VIRGINIA!

Rutgers at Iowa 2:00 ET

Scarlet Knights (+) over Hawkeyes- Rutgers has put the Big Ten on notice that they are a team to reckon with as they are now 6-3 in conference play with a win over then No. 1 and undefeated Purdue . One of the Scarlet Knights losses came at home against Iowa 76-65 the Hawkeyes shot lights out making 12 of 27 30-pointers. The Knights are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall and the underdogs is 9-2-1 ATS in the last 12 meetings. Looking for modest revenge take RUTGERS!

Texas at Tennessee 6:00 ET

Volunteers (-) over Longhorns- Great match-up from the Big-12/SEC Challenge between a pair of Top-10 ranked teams  when No. 4 Tennessee host No.10 Texas. The Longhorns have won a pair after a loss to Iowa State and are off a sweep of rival Oklahoma State. The Volunteers have won eight of nine and are playing their best ball defeating Georgia 70-41 holding the Bulldogs to their lowest scoring contest of thew season. The Vols have won 11 of its 17 games by at least 20 points and now it’s the Longhorns turn. Take TENNESSEE!
