Wichita State at Kansas State 9:00 ET

Shockers (+) over Wildcats- That was quite a performance by the Shockers last time out hosting Missouri they went overtime before falling 88-84. But, the thing to note is that the tigers shot 54.1% from the floor and made 12 3-pointers, but the committed 20 turnovers and missed 8-of-14 free throws. How does a team make 12 3-pointers and not make FT’s? Kansas State suffered their first loss to Butler in Indianapolis and are 1-4 ATS after a SU loss.

Take WICHITA STATE!

Indiana at Rutgers 4:00 ET

Scarlet Knights (+) over Hoosiers- Oh boy! Ain’t we got fun...Indiana pops into the Top-10 for the first time in over five years after defeating an over-ratted North Carolina clubs that has now dropped three in-a-row. This is a perfect spot to ambush the 7-0 Hoosiers who are playing their first true road game and they are 8-20-2 ATS in their last 30 road games after three straight at home. And get this the Scarlet Knights are 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 home games against teams with winning records, add that the home team is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take RUTGERS!  

Illinois at Maryland 9:00 ET

Illini (+) over Terrapins- The 7-0 Terrapins have rolled over the good, the bad and the ugliest of teams defeating every opponents by at least 16 points with their closest game an 18-point win over Miami-Fl. Illinois suffered their only loss in Las Vegas to No. 4 Virginia but they showed that they can play with just about anybody. So, with Maryland romping game after game shouldn’t they be a stronger favorite at home against a team that they have defeated 8-of-10 times straight-up. The dogs is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take ILLINOIS!

Baylor at Gonzaga 8:00 ET

Bears (+) over Bulldogs- These two teams played for the National Championship in 2021 and it wasn’t pretty for the Zags as the 4.5-point underdog Bears led from start to finish as they highest scoring team in the nation was stifled. This time around Gonzaga is playing behind a closed window as it is Baylor that scores 88.1 PPG ranking No.6 while on defense the Bulldogs have dropped to No. 331 allowing 76.7 PPG. Bears are off a beat down by Marquette 96-70 and they are 6-1 ATS after a loss of 20-points or more. Gonzaga is 1-8-1 ATS in their last 10 neutral site games. The underdogs is 5-0 ATS in this series. Take BAYLOR!

Wake Forest at Clemson 7:00 ET

Demon Deacons (+) over Tigers- Last season Wake Forest had troubles on the road and this year they are already 1-0 after winning their first true road game at Wisconsin 78-75 as a 6-Point underdog. Clemson who has won 5-of-6 are off a 101-94 overtime victory over Penn State. Scoring over 100 points is  big deal for the Tigers as they are a bit challenged on offense ranking No. 126 averaging just 75.8 PPG and their overall defense isn’t any better and is ranked No. 128. The Deacons are 7-1 SU with a pair of players from the transfer portal and get the money here. Take WAKE FOREST!

UCLA at Stanford 10:30 ET

Cardinal (+) over Bruins- You are going to hear plenty of comments like ‘inspiring play and huge efforts and a gritty club,’ but what you won’t hear is UCLA wins again. Believe me this is one of the most over-rated teams in the country and believe me I know I’ve seen them twice in person and I just don’t see what the big deal or talent is hiding. The Bruins like so may at this time of the season are playing their first true road game of the year ad it is a PAC -12 battle at Stanford. The Cardinal have fallen off the basketball charts of late (so has their football team) but they still manage to be ready for conference games at home where they are 8-2 in the last 10 meetings with the bruins. Tough gritty win...take STANFORD!

Seton Hall at Kansas 9:00 ET

Pirates (+) over Jayhawks- The defending national Champions will host Seton Hall in this Big East- Big-12 Battle. No. 9 Kansas is 7-1 falling to Tennessee in their final game of a set of three games in the Bahamas. Seton Hall (4-3) has been inconsistent this season and this match-up should bring more focus to their game. Take SETON HALL!   

Arizona at Utah 8:30 ET

Utes (+) over Wildcats- Undefeated No. 4 Arizona (6-0) leads the nation in scoring averaging 97.5 points a game and are coming off wins in Maui over a pair of ranked teams No. 17 San Diego State and No. 10 Cincinnati. The Wildcats style is in direct contrast to Utah’s defensive and deliberate style of play. The time that I like most about this encounter is that it is Arizona’s first true road game of the season and it happens to be a league game the first date of December. The Wildcats are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games after a SU win. I like the spot and are taking it with confidence. Take UTAH!  

Virginia at Michigan 9:30 ET

Cavaliers (-) over Wolverines- I saw No. 3 Virginia defeat Baylor and Illinois in Las Vegas and although they were crowned tourney champs I can say that I was all that impressed. Although, I feel that they will win games because of their experience and depth. As Claude Reins would say ‘I am shocked...’ yep, I am shocked at how little respect the Wolverines are receiving from the book-makers as I expect them to be ranked which they are not and I don’t expect them to be such an underdog at home Now, the decision is do I believe my lying eyes or a lying bookmaker. Maybe, they know something a Michigan is 1-5 ATS in their last six home games and they are 2-9 ATS after a SU win. Cavaliers 7-2 ATS in last nine against winning teams above .600. Looks too easy to take the Wolves...take VIRGINIA!

Missouri vs Wichita State 8:00 ET

Shockers (+) over Tigers- Missouri opened the season with seven straight wins and that is always impressive even if they defeated the likes of SIU Edwardsville, Southern Indiana, Lindenwood, Mississippi Valley State, Coastal Carolina and of course Houston Christian. Now, not that seven sub-division schools isn’t bad enough they played them all at home. Now, this isn’t a true road game as it is a neutral site but they are playing a real basketball team. Take WICHITA STATE!

Maryland at Louisville 7:00 ET

Cardinals (+) over Terrapins- There are no slow paced turtles here as the streaking Terrapins are 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS while Louisville is the mirror image at 0-6 SU and an unbelievable -0-6 ATS. The Red Birds lost their first three games by one point each to Bellarmine, Wright State and Appalachian State but increased their losing margin to 26, 32 and 19 points against three big boys Arkansas, Texas Tech and Cincinnati. The Cardinals offense is ranked 355 averaging just 58.7 PPG while shooting a team 39.5% from the floor. But the Red Birds are 6-2 in the last eight meetings. Coming from the bottom up...take LOUISVILLE!

Minnesota at Virginia Tech 7:00 ET

Hokies (-) over Golden Gophers- Neither of these clubs has been very impressive to date with Minnesota struggling against mediocre competition going overtime before defeating California Baptist 62-61. Virginia Tech has lost to College of Charleston 77-75 and are 0-5 ATS in their last five games overall. This is the Golden Gophers first true road game of the season and they are 0-7 ATS on the road against teams with winning records and Tech is 4-0 SU at home. Lets play against a team playing in someone else gym. Take VIRGINIA TECH!

North Carolina vs Alabama 3:30 ET

Crimson Tide over Tar Heels- Okay here we go again. The Odds-makers versus the Pollsters. The Poll people have North Carolina ranked on top at 1 and to date I have not been impressed. Bama who does impress me is ranked No. 18 by the Pollsters and yet the odds-makers opened the Tide a small favorite on a neutral site. I could go through a lot of stuff but it is simply a matter of those who really are in the know and those that think they are. Take ALABAMA!

Iowa vs TCU 7:00 ET

Horned Frogs (+) over Hawkeyes- TCU was ranked 10 places higher than was Iowa in the preseason NCAA Basketball polls. But, they have yet to show the form that is expected and even dropped a 64-63 decision as a 21.2-point home favorite losing to Northwestern State (Do we even know what State they are in). Now, facing a Top-25 ranked team as Iowa (5-0) continues to climb in the polls until tomorrow after today’s loss. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN!

Iowa vs Clemson 7:00 ET

Hawkeyes over Tigers- As I have said before because power schools schedule so many powder puffs it is difficult to evaluate just how good they may actually be. Clemson has had one game among their five against a Division I school and they lost to South Carolina. Iowa has covered all four games playing one legit opponent defeating Seton Hall by 17 points in the Pirates Cove. Hawkeyes are 17-8-2 ATS at neutral sites while the Tigers are 5-1 ATS at neutral sites they are 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall. One thing to respect is that Clemson has 20 years of playing experience among their starters. Take CLEMSON!

Alabama vs Michigan State 10:30 ET

Crimson Tide (-) over Spartans- This one gets me with Michigan State being the higher ranked team at No. 12 and the Crimson Tide being  the favorite ranked No. 18 and it is not a tiny number. The bookmaker is telling us that Alabama is the better team and although the  media believes otherwise and I trust the bookies (Not really) to have better knowledge. What concerns me is the schedule that these two squads have undertaken as the Spartans have dealt with Kentucky, Gonzaga and Villanova while the Tide were dealing with the likes of Longwood, Liberty, South Alabama and Jacksonville State who combined are all under .500. Comparing stats it is easy to see why Books have chosen this price as the Tide are better at both ends of the court, be it against inferior opposition but regardless they rank 26th on offense and MSU is 177th and on defense No. 31 for Bama and 140 for State. P.S.- Tide lead the nation in rebounding. Take ALABAMA!

Memphis vs Seton Hall 7:30 ET

Tigers over Seton Hall- A pair of my favorite ‘money making schools’ clash a long way from home in Glendale Arizona. Once again we have a club that beat up on the little guy and was beaten by a viable opponent, Seton Hall had their way locally with Monmouth, St. Peter’s and were crushed by Iowa 83-67 and then they destroyed Wagner 82-44. The Tigers are 2-1 having played three legit teams in Vanderbilt, VCU and Southern Illinois. Take MEMPHIS!

Iowa State vs. Villanova 3:30 ET

Cyclones (+) over Wildcats- Oh, I like what is coming out of Ames as T.J. Otzelberger has taken the air out of the ball and returned to fundamentals starting with defense. Iowa State holds their opponents to an absurd 45.0 PPG while holding opponents to 32.8% shooting from the floor. Add that Villanova who is just not the same since Jay Wright took a powder and it will show here as they are ranked No. 260 on offense scoring just 69 PPG and are ranked No. 346 (Yep) in rebounding. Cyclones 6-2 ATS last eight neutral site games and Cats are 1-4 ATS in last five. Take IOWA STATE!

UCLA vs. Baylor 5:30 ET

Bruins (+) over Bears- One of these wild critters will leave Las Vegas with two consecutive losses and a damper on the start of their season. UCLA held a 41-28 lead in the second half before the Illini when on a shooting spree and outscored the baby bears 51-29. The Bears allowed Virginia to shoot 56% and trailed by 23-points in the second half and were never really in it. Bruins are 6-1 ATS after a SU loss and Naylor is 1-5 ATS against teams with winning records. Take UCLA!  

Illinois vs UCLA 9:30 ET

Illini (+) over Bruins- Both clubs are 3-0 and will be playing a real opponent for the first time this season. These clubs have not met since 1997 and the Bruins hold a 6-3 series edge but that stirs nothing between these two today. This game is being played in Las Vegas an there should be a slight lean in the crowd for the Bruins but it hasn’t helped in the past. Take ILLINOIS!   

North Carolina vs Kansas 9:00 ET

Tar Heels (+) over Jayhawks- The regular season college basketball season had about three weeks remaining when my thoughts about North Carolina were that Hubert Davis just wasn't cutting it and I expected the Tar Heels be to an also ran the rest of the season. But, not so fast as this team has matured right before our eyes and is playing for the NCAA title by winning 11 of their last 12. Kansas just totally dominated a short-handed Villanova squad that had over-achieved all season and are 7-2 ATS in their last nine at neutral sites. But, the Tar Heels are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 against teams with winning records and get the money here. Take NORTH CAROLINA!

North Carolina vs Duke 8:50 ET

Blue Devils (-) over Tar Heels- I never thought that either of these clubs would make it this far and yet here are two of the biggest NCAA basketball rivals from the ACC playing each other for the first time ever in the NCAA Tourney.they have met 258 times during the regular season and ACC tournament but this is a first. Here is Coach K's swan song and the Blue Devils have responded like champions getting to the Final 4. Surprising North Carolina is streaking but are just 8-18-1 ATS as neutral site underdogs and 2-6 ATS in their last eight NCAA Tournament games. Take DUKE!

Villanova vs Kansas 6:09 ET

Wildcats/Jayhawks- OVER- This seems like such an obvious Under as Villanova is 8-1 Under at neutral sites and Kansas is 7-3 Under when favored. Both of these clubs play fundamentally sound basketball deliberate which should lead to a low scoring game but, both side are excellent scorers and the Wildcats lead the nation in free throw percentage. Play OVER!

Villanova vs Kansas 6:09 ET

Wildcats (+) over Jayhawks- The 'thing' about this year's NCAA Tournament is that most felt that it was wide open this season as there was no dominating favorite and yet it was more of the 'old guard' making to the Final-4 in New Orleans as the traditional basketball powers prevailed. Kansas, North Carolina, Duke and two-time winner in the last five years Villanova. The Wildcats will be without their standout guard Justin Moore who racked up the most playing time among the Wildcat starters. That could be a factor but the oddsmaker has kept the price low as Villanova is 21-6 ATS in their last 27 NCAA Tournament games and Kansas is 2-5 ATS in their last seven Tournament games and are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings against the Wildcats. Take VILLANOVA!

Xavier vs Texas A&M 7:00 ET

Musketeers (+) over Aggies- Talk about turning around your season, Texas A&M is playing for the NIT championship after having lost eight straight games during the season and are 12-2 SU in their last 14 including four NIT wins. Xavier is 3-0 under interim coach Jonas Hayes. The Musketeers are 35-14-2 as neutral site underdogs while the Aggie4s are 10-2 ATS in their last 12. This time it is XAVIER!

Washington State vs Texas A&M 9:00 ET

Cougars/Aggies- UNDER- These tow have played different styles with different results according the the las Vegas oddsmakers. Many believe that both of these offenses will out-shined both defenses. Texas A&M played 22-15 Over this season whereas the Cougars played heavy to the Under 13-21-2. So it appears the teams that controls the tempo will dictate the pace of the game and it is more difficult for a team to slow down and have to adjust their offense. Play UNDER!

Washington State vs Texas A&M 9:00 ET

Cougars (+) over Aggies- Washington State got here the hard way winning a pair of games on the road at SMU and BYU winning by 12 and 19 points respectively and seems to have caught a spark going 7-1 ATS in their last eight games overall. Texas A&M has had the best of it as a No. 1 seed in the NIT they sat at home and defeated Alcorn State, Oregon and Wake Forest covering the last two and being strong favorites in each game. The Aggies have been impressive ATS going 9-2 in their last 11games overall and are 5-2 in last seven at neutral sites. Although the Cougars are 0-5 ATS in their last five games at neutral sites they are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games as neutral site underdogs. Take WASHINGTON STATE!

St. Bonaventure vs Xavier 7:00 ET

Bonnies over Musketeers- I've had a little love thing with the Bonnies this season and did well with the limited time I used them going 3-0 on the season. Xavier on the other hand broke my heart in a triple-overtime loss at Providence as a 1.5-dog. They blew that game with plenty of chances to close it out but spit the bit under pressure. Haven't had much to cheer about as a Bonnies fan over the years but they are 20-8 ATS in their last 28 games as neutral site favorites. The Musketeers are a higher seed and yet an underdog and they are 1-4 ATS in their last five games as underdogs and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Take SAINT BONAVENTURE!

St. Peter's vs North Carolina 5:05 ET

Peacocks (+) over Tar Heels- We've all seen it and most are for St. Peter's to pull the upset and I for one have joined their bandwagon and not to be a part of the in-crowd. The Peacocks stand proud on their defense and they way they play it. There is always some pressure on the ball and they incense the intensity all over the court at different times and that keeps their opponents off balance. This team is relentlessly on the boards and the contest all rebounds along with quick hands that harass anyone who dares to put the ball on the floor. Carolina has been great but I can only see a beautiful array of colors as the Peacocks show off. Still I can't do it...Take NORTH CAROLINA!

Miami vs Kansas 2:20 ET

Jayhawks/Hurricanes- OVER- At 79ppg Kansas has one of the most potent offense remaining in the tournament while Miami's defense ranks in the bottom quarter of the 364 Division I schools. The Canes have gone 'Over' 10 of 14 neutral site games while the Jayhawks are 11-5-1 'Over' in their lats 17 neutral site games and 7-3-1 Over in 11 NCAA tournament games. I can see Kansas getting the eld and the play getting looser as the game progresses. Play OVER!

Miami vs Kansas 2:20 ET

Jayhawks (-) over Hurricanes- So, Kansas the only Number 1 seed remaining has the task of defeating a well coached 10th seed in the Miami Hurricanes who are 26-10 on the season. The Canes have been under valued all year as their 21-14 ATS record might attest. In Friday's win over Providence the Jayhawks became the winningest program in college basketball history and they are now stopping there. It's a tribute to Miami's coach Larranaga who has brought a team that is ranked No's 330th, 229th and 288th in the three most important defensive categories. Jayhawks can cease the moment and they will as they Final-Four awaits. Take KANSAS!

Arkansas vs Duke 8:50 ET

Razorbacks (+) over Blue Devils- You know that I tried to make a case for Texas Tech last time out but got overwhelmed by the 'sharps and wise guy' action that 'we' never stood a chance. For the same reason that I was willing to play the Red Raiders is why I like Arkansas here. I also like the way they play as underdogs as they are 5-0 ATS in that role and when winning they are 9-1-1 ATS after a ATS win. Blue Devils are 2-7 ATS in their last nine NCAA games as favorites. Take ARKANSAS!

Houston vs Villanova 6:09 ET

Wildcats/Cougars- UNDER- There is no way that I see either team having an exceptual day scoring the ball on the other sides defense. Pace of play by the Wildcats will keep this low scoring as well as the Cougars No. 7 defense allowing just 58.9ppg Villanova's defense is ranked No. 36 and a not to shabby 63.6ppg allowed. Play UNDER!

Houston vs Villanova 6:09 ET

Wildcats (+) over Cougars- With two National Championships to their credit in 2016 and 2018 this will be the third time in the past six years that Villanova has made it to the Elite Eight. Houston disposed of Arizona by holding the Wildcats to 25-points below their scoring average, but, these Wildcats present a different problem. They are now 20-6 ATS in their last 26 NCAA tourney games and have the discipline that it takes to win here. Take VILLANOVA!

Iowa State vs Miami-Fl 9:40 ET

Cyclones (+) over Hurricanes- Oh boy, this is a tough one as both clubs won ugly for 'us' already in the first two rounds. Iowa State has won a pair fo Tournament games where as last season the won just two game the entire season. The road for the cyclones in the tourney had them defeating LSU and Wisconsin with a couple of stellar defensive performances holding those squads at 54 and 49 points respectively. Miami is well coached and has committed just seven turnovers in their two wins over USC and Auburn. The Cyclones are 6-1 ATS as neutral site underdogs and the Hurricanes are 5-15-1 ATAS as neutral site favorites and 0-5 ATS as NCAA tournament games as favorites. Take IOWA STATE!

North Carolina vs UCLA 9:40 ET

Bruins (-) over Tar Heels- Golly, I hate to do this the way the Tar Heels have been playing but I must admit I didn't expect the Bruins to be favored by more than 1-point. North Carolina has always gotten the best of this series having won the last five and they are 10-3 all-time. The Heels average 78.6ppg and their defense has allowed 72.6 ranking them No. 279 while UCLA play defense and defense travels well at least better than offense and they allow just 64.3ppg. The slower pace can cause any team to get anxious and the the Heels are 7-18-1 ATS as neutral site underdogs and 1-6 ATS in their last seven NCAA Tournament games when underdogs. Bruins are 8-3 as favorites and 9-4 ATS min their last 13 neutral site games. Take UCLA!

Providence vs Kansas 7:30 ET

Friars (+) over Hawks- I'm sick of the Friars kicking my teeth in as they just get it done game after game as they have won 16 games by single digits and 11 by less than five points. Kansas on the other side is a team that 'we' have had success with both on and against them and they are off a win over Creighton a team that split the season series in the Big East. Providence is 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games as underdogs but are just 1-6 ATS as neutral site underdogs. The Jayhawks are 5-1 ATS in their last six and get the money here. Take KANSAS!

Houston vs Arizona 9:40 ET

Cougars (+) over Wildcats- Houston is the best 5th seed that I can ever remember seeing play and the oddsmaker seems to agree with me. Arizona is the No. 1 seed in the South and at 33-3 and is in a virtual pick-em situation against the Cougars (31-5) and that show respect for the Five seed. The Cougars feel that the committee slighted them with the seeding and have won 11 of 12 and is in the Sweet-16 for the third straight years while the Wildcats are here for the first time in six years. Cougs 12-3 ATS in the last 15 as underdogs. Take HOUSTON!

Texas Tech vs Duke 9:40 ET

Red Raiders (+) over Blue Devils- Oh my, Coach K has experienced many tribulations in his storied career and his final note will be the heart-breaking loss to the Red Raiders in his last game. Sorry Blue Devils fans, but the line is a 'give-away' as these two Blue and Red don't mix. Duke's is No. 8 scoring offense at 80.4ppg and Texas Tech defense surrenders only 60.7ppg and in these tournament games defense rules. The Red Raiders are at their best against the best as they are 14-3 ATS against teams with winning records better than 60%. As great as Duke has been they are 1-5 ATS in their last six games and 1-7 ATS in their last eight NCAA tourney games and finally they are 1-7 ATS against teams with winning records. Take TEXAS TECH!

Michigan vs Villanova 7:30 ET

Wolverines (+) over Wildcats- I know how good Villanova is and we all should know it as they are No. 1 on Free Throws at 82.7% and no other team has reached the 80% mark. The lead the nation in defensive rebounds and are 17-4 ATS as neutral site favorites in NCAA Tournament action. When the selection committee gave Michigan a bid I was taken back a bit as I didn't believe that they were worthy. Then as an 11 seed they were favored over No. 5 seed Colorado State wins and then takes down Tennessee as a Megabucks winner. I keep thinking of how UCLA got to the Final Four last year as no one gave them a chance. The Wolverines have something to caw about as the are 4-1 ATS in their last five NCAA Tourney games and 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 as neutral site underdogs. Take MICHIGAN!

Wake Forest at Texas A&M 7:00 ET

Demon Deacons (+) over Aggies- Both of these clubs expected a bit to the 'Big Dance' and ended up in the NIT with a chance to go to New York and play at Madison Garden. Texas A&M is the only number 1 seed remaining defeating Oregon 75-60 and have won 10 of their last 11. Wake Forest reached the 25-win plateau for the first time since 2004-05. The Deacons are playing in their seventh NIT and are 12-5 All-time in the tournament. Take WAKE FOREST!

St. Bonaventure at Virginia 7:00 ET

Bonnies (+) over Cavaliers- Both of these clubs were ranked in the Top-25 before the season began but neither of them were among the top 68 teams to make the NCAA Tournament. Believe it or nit the Bonnies were ranked ahead of Virginia as they were slated at No. 23 and the Cavaliers were ranked No. 25 and here they meet in the NIT. Virginia has struggled with consistency as they are 5-11-1 ATS after a SU win while the Bonnies are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall. Take ST. BONAVENTURE!

Texas vs Purdue 8:40 ET

Longhorns (+) over Boilermakers- Texas is in foreign territory as they posted a round one win for the first time since 2014 as they handled Virginia Tech 81-73 for the victory. Purdue had no problems with Yale and put the Bulldogs down 78-56 as they continue to dominate the boards holding a 9.5 rebounds-per-game advantage over opponents. The Longhorns are getting it done with defense and that travels well as former Texas Tech coach Chris Beard has them playing well as underdogs at neutral sites going 6-2 ATS. Take TEXAS!

Iowa State vs Wisconsin 6:10 ET

Cyclones (+) over Badgers- Iowa State enters the tournament losing their last three and finished 16-5 at one point having won 12 in-a-row at one point. Wisconsin entered the tournament off a pair of losses and defeated an undermanned Colgate club Friday but and were taken to task. The Cyclones are 5-1 ATS as underdogs at neutral sites while the Badgers are 2-7 ATS as favorites at neutral sites and 0-4 ATS in their last four games as favorites. Take IOWA STATE!

Ohio State at Villanova 2:40 ET

Buckeyes (+) over Wildcats- Ohio State has lost 11 games this season and it is not because off their defense which was outstanding in the opener Loyola holding the Ramblers to 31.8 shooting. But, overall the Buckeyes play 15-6 Over in their last 21 games overall. The Buckeyes win in the opening round was a tournament rarity last they are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 in NCAA Tournament games. Villanova who had been great for years in the postseason going 17-5 ATS in tourney games and 27-11-1 as neutral site favorites but the are 0-6 ATS after a SU win. Take OHIO STATE!

Saint Mary's vs UCLA 7:10 ET

Bruins (-) over Gaels- I was really surprised that UCLA struggled as they did against Akron in their opener because I was expecting a better offensive game plan. The Bruins needed a 15-4 run to close the game to pull out a 57-53 while the Gaels pounded Indiana 82-53 and with this game in Portland they should have great fan support. Saint Mary's is always a bridesmaid as Gonzaga has dominated the West Coast and they just don't seen to be able to get past the 'big boys.' Take UCLA!

Richmond vs Providence 6:10 ET

Spiders (+) over Friars- Providence has been called the luckiest team in college basketball as they have more close wins than any other school by far. They got the best of South Dakota State in round one when many (including me) thought the Jackrabbits had a shot to win but the Friars prevailed. The Spiders 4-0 ATS in their last four on neutral site and the Friars are 1-8 ATS in their last nine as neutral site favorites and are 1-5 ATS in their last six NCAA games. Take RICHMOND!

Michigan vs Tennessee 5:10 ET

Wolverines (+) over Volunteers- It has been a roller coaster year for the Wolverines and many never expected them to make it to the 'Big Dance.' Michigan was one of the favorites to reach the Finals and at 17-14 it was a shocker to be selected seeded No. 11 and defeated No. 5 seed Colorado State. After the suspensions and fights the Wolverines have rallied together and had a 28-point turnaround in their win and their confidence couldn't be any higher. Take MICHIGAN!

Davidson vs Michigan State 9:30 ET

Wildcats (+) over Spartans- Michigan State is lucky to be where they are as they dropped seven of their last 10 when it counted most before winning 2-of-3 in the Big Ten Tournament. Davidson won the Atlantic-10 regular season but lost to Richmond 64-62 in the Championship game and finished 27-6. The Wildcats are 5-1 ATS in their last six neutral site game and the Spartans are 2-6 ATS in their last eight NCAA games as favorites. Take DAVIDSON!

Virginia Tech vs Texas 4:30 ET

Longhorns (+) over Hokies- Virginia Tech made it to the tourney the only way they could by winning four straight and capturing the Atlantic Coast Conference otherwise it would hav been NIT. The Hokies had lost six of eight before the run to the title. Texas has lost three straight losing to Baylor, Kansas and TCU all tourney teams and they haven't won an NCAA game since 2014. They get it here. Take TEXAS!

Miami-Fl vs USC 3:10 ET

Hurricanes over Trojans- Miami who started fast and then hit a lull closed by winning seven of their last 10 while USC lost three of their final four falling one short of matching the school records for wins. I like the level of competition that the Hurricanes have played against and I like their coaching as well. Miami is 22-8-1 ATS as underdogs in their last 31 while 0-8 ATS in their eight games as a favorite. Take MIAMI!

San Francisco vs. Murray State 9:40 ET

Dons (+) over Racers- It's been a great year for Murray State as they are undefeated in 2022 winning 20 in-a-row and have not lost since December 22 and are 30-2 on the season and aside from Arizona and South Dakota State are the one of three with 30 wins. San Francisco is 24-9 out of the Big West and a 10 seed is making their first NCAA appearance since 1988. The Racers are 3-7 ATS as neutral site favorites are while the Dons are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall. Take SAN FRANCISCO.

Akron vs. UCLA 9:50 ET

Bruins (+) over Zips- I was at their season opener and the Pac-12 Final and believe I that I have them 'cocked' as they lost both games. The opener was blowout loss to No. 1 Gonzaga and their final to No. 2 Arizona on Saturday failing to cover either time. There are number of things I picked up watching the Bruins and to tell the true I am impressed and believe they are ready to dominate a team that has limited offensive capabilities. The Bruins are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games and 6-0 ATS in their last six NCAA Tournament games. Take UCLA!

Vermont vs Arkansas 9:20 ET

Catamounts (+) over Razorbacks- Now doesn't it seem a bit odd that the once Top-10 ranked Razorbacks is such a meager favorite against the American East champions as I doubt that many of you can name their conference competition. Granted Vermont has won 22 of 23 and they have two-time American East Player of the Year Ryan Davis and are 8-2 ATS against teams with winning records. Arkansas is 1-4 ATS as NCAA Tournament favorites. Take VERMONT!

Notre Dame vs Rutgers 8:10 ET

Fighting Irish (+) over Scarlet Knights- Despite having the second best ACC regular season record (15-5) Notre Dame wasn't a sure thing to make the tourney and the result is this 'extra' game that must be played. The biggest surprise of the college basketball season is that Rutgers defeated then No. 1 Purdue after having fallen to DePaul, Lafayette and UMass who were all terrible this season. The Scarlet Knights are led by Ron Harper Jr. who are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games overall while the Irish are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games overall and 5-1 after a SU loss. Take NOTRE DAME!

Indiana vs Wyoming 9:10 ET

Cowboys (+) over Hoosiers- After spending the past six years like a dateless girl on prom night Indiana has an invite to the 'Big Dance' albeit a 'First Four' play-in matchup with Wyoming in Dayton. The Hoosiers put on a much needed surge in the conference payoffs defeating Michigan and Illinois before falling to Iowa on a buzzer beater. Wyoming is playing in the tourney for the first time since 2015 while the Hoosiers are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five NCAA tourney games. The Cowboys are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 neutral site games and 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games as underdogs. Take WYOMING!

Oregon at Utah State 9:00 ET

Aggies (+) over Ducks- Talk about lame ducks...Oregon looked like a lock for the NCAA tournament before losing six of their last eight the last three weeks and are now playing in Logan, Utah. Playing in the NIT is a comedown for Oregon where as the Aggies are thrilled to be playing in the postseason for the first time since 2008 and they are 0-4 lifetime in the NIT. The wounded ducks are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games while the Aggies are 37-18-1 ATS in their last 56 home games against teams with losing road records (4-6). Take UTAH STATE!

Belmont at Vanderbilt 7:00 ET

Bruins (+) over Commodores- How 'bout this, both off these schools are located in Nashville and their campus' are within one mile of each other and yet this is a rare encounter. Vanderbilt was 15-15 playing a much tougher schedule and are led by Scotty Pippin Jr who topped the SEC in scoring but got little support. This is a huge step-up in class game for the Bruins. More of the same...take BELMONT!

Texas A&M vs Tennessee 1:00 ET

Volunteers (-) over Aggies- Many thought that the Aggies would have had to win the SEC tournament to reach the 'Big Dance' but having won three straight including two victories over Top 25 ranked teams they know that they have already punched their ticket. Texas A&M will be playing their fourth game in four days with one of their games having gone overtime will start to wear down before this encounter is over. The two teams met in once this season in Knoxville where the home Vols posted a 90-80 win and they do it again here. Take TENNESSEE!

Texas Tech vs Kansas 6:00 ET

Red Raiders (+) over Jayhawks- These two enter this fray off different scenarios as Texas Tech was lucky to survive against Oklahoma while the Jayhawks had an easy time against TCU. Each won at home in the two regular season meetings and it is fitting that the winner here gets the automatic big to the Big Dance. Kansas has played well against lesser teams going 6-2 ATS as favorites while the Red Raiders are 5-0 ATS in their last five as underdogs and are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games against teams with winning records above 60%. Take TEXAS TECH!

Michigan State vs Purdue 3:30 ET

Boilermakers (-) over Spartans- Oddly enough in this Big Ten tourney No. 3 seed Purdue is the highest seeded team remaining among the top-4. Michigan State the seventh-seed posted a 68-65 home win over the Boilermakers in their lone meeting and are off an upset win over Wisconsin on Friday and are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following a SU win. It is time for the Boilermakers to bust out as they are 0-6-2 ATS in their last eight games overall. Take PURDUE!

Kentucky vs Tennessee 3:00 ET

Volunteers (+) over Wildcats- It is fitting that the rubber match between these two is being played on a neutral site as they both took advantage of their home court meetings each winning by double-digits as hosts. Kentucky has come alive winning 5-of-6 but the Volunteers have won five straight and 9-of-10 which including their home win over the Wildcats but they are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as favorites. Take TENNESSEE!

Virginia Tech vs North Carolina 9:30 ET

Hokies (+) over Tar Heels- UNC has gotten hot at the right time closing the season with six straight wins and 8-of-9 and have defeated the Hokies in both meetings. Virginia Tech was never in their meeting three weeks ago as a beaten favorite. This line is way short if you are tracking the results of these two clubs and tourney games take on a different hue. Tar Heels are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games at neutral site and fall short here. Take VIRGINIA TECH!

Michigan State vs Wisconsin 6:30 ET

Spartans (+) over Badgers- Last time out Wisconsin blew a chance to win their first outright Big Ten title by losing to lowly Nebraska as conference Player of the Year Johnny Davis left with an injured knee. Davis will play today but so will the Spartans who after a terrible run losing 7-of-10 but have recovered winning their last two. MSU is 3-1-1 ATS in neutral site games and the underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. The Badgers are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games as favorites. Take MICHIGAN STATE!

Mississippi State at Tennessee 6:00 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Volunteers- Tennessee closed the season on a rush winning 9-of-10 while the Bulldogs lost 3-of-4 to close the year on a negative note. But, Mississippi State downed South Carolina 73-51 in their tourney opener. These two met once this season with the Vols as a 1-point favorites on the road winning 72-63 as the favorite is now 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. The trends favor the Vols but the Bulldogs have a defense that can keep this one in question. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE!

Virginia vs North Carolina 9:30 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Tar Heels- North Carolina ruined the big retirement party for the Duke faithful last time out and now face a gritty Virginia squad that was pounded by Carolina 74-58 in their lone meeting this season. But, that loss shouldn't discourage the Cavaliers as they had 'covered' the previous seven meetings and they are 8-0 ATS in their last wight games after an ATS loss. The Tar Heels are 0-4-1 ATS in five games at neutral sites and fall here. Take VIRGINIA!

Penn State vs Ohio State 9:00 ET

Nittany Lions (+) over Buckeyes- Ohio State enters the Big Ten tourney having lost three of their last four but did defeat the Lions twice this season but they are without their co-captain and Penn State leading scorer didn't play if the second meeting. The Lions are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as underdogs and the Buckeyes are 1-4 ATS against teams with losing records. Take PENN STATE!

Virginia Tech vs Notre Dame 7:00 ET

Hokies (+) over Fighting Irish- There is something to be said about having momentum when playing in conference tournaments and after a dramatic 3-point buzzer beating win over Clemson in the opening round has the Hokies are in high spirits. Notre Dame closed their regular season with a 78-54 blow-out win over hapless Pittsburgh and will find the competition a bit higher tonight. Tech won the lone meeting this season 79-73 in Blacksburg coming from 10-points down in the second half. The Irish are 1-6 ATS in neutral site games. Take VIRGINIA TECH!

Minnesota vs Penn State 8:30 ET

Golden Gophers (+) over Nittany Lions- Although Ohio State lost last time out they are really concerned as to which of these teams t be too upset as to which of these 14th and 11th seeds advance to meet them the winner on Thursday. Both clubs won on their home court splitting the season series with Minnesota entering this fray having lost their last three as has Penn State. The Golden Gophers are 6-0 ATS as underdog at neutral sites and are 4-0 ATS against the Lions in Big Ten Tourney play. Take MINNESOTA!

Boston College vs Pittsburgh 2:00 ET

Panthers (+) over Eagles- There has got to be a winner here no matter what as the No. 13 and No. 12 seeds in the ACC will play for survival as neither team will play in the postseason without winning out. Pittsburgh has dropped their last four while the Eagles have lost their last three but like I said there has got to be a winner! Boston College is 1-4 at neutral sites while the Panthers are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games at neutral sites. Take PITTSBURGH!

Michigan at Ohio State 12:30 ET

Wolverines (+) over Buckeyes- After having lost their last two games Ohio State is out of the Big Ten regular season title and will be looking ahead to the conference tourney. Acting coach Phil Martelli has alternated wins and losses during Juwan Howard's suspension and this will be his final game at the helm before Howard's return for the postseason tourney. The Wolverines are 28-12-1 ATS in their last 41 games after a SU loss and the road team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take MICHIGAN!

Colorado at Utah 9:30 ET

Utes over Buffaloes- Okay, you can go figure this one out yourself! Colorado (19-10) comes off beating the No. 2 team in the nation Arizona 79-63 covering the spread by 25.5 points and now travel to Utah who just lost to Arizona 97-77 and ASU last time out. But, here's the rub the 11-18 Utes are FAVORED! The is no reasoning other than the Buffs after defeating the Wildcats are just looking past this contest and toward the conference tournament...otherwise we are cooked. Take UTAH!

Texas at Kansas 4:00 ET

Longhorns (+) over Jayhawks- Kansas can share a part of the Big-12 conference crown but must come away with a win here against Texas who is only thinking upset. The Jayhawks might have the Baylor Bears on their minds because if the win the Jays are grounded. Getting a small measure of revenge with a non-cover win over TCU against the Frogs who beat them two days prior. The underdogs is 3-0-1 ATS I the last four meetings and the home teams is 12-3-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings. Take TEXAS!

Texas Tech at Oklahoma State 3:00 ET

Cowboys (+) over Red Raiders- Believe it or not the Red Raiders at 12-5 still have a shot at a share of the Big-12 title...but don't count on it as they just don't get it done on the road. Oklahoma State is off one of the best defensive performances of the NCAA season holding Iowa State to just 36 points in Ames. Texas Tech just finished the home schedule 18-0 but are just 3-6 SU on the road. The underdog is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings. Take OKLAHOMA STATE!

Virginia Tech at Clemson 3:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Hokies- Both clubs riding three-game win streaks with the Hokies having won nine of their last 10 where as Clemson had lost six straight previously. It will be Senior Day at Clemson and four seniors will be honored where they are 10-5 SU while Tech is 4-7-1 ATS on the road. The home team is 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings and Virginia Tech is 4-14-1 ATS in their 19 road games against teams with winning home records. Take CLEMSON!

Richmond at St. Bonaventure 7:00 ET

Spiders (+) over Bonnies- This Atlantic-10 matchup pits a pair of the better teams in the conference as 19-11 Richmond visits the Reilly Center where host St. Bonaventure is 12-2 SU on the season. The trends support the Spiders seem to play their best on the road where they are 14-5-1 ATS in their ;ast 20 road games while the Bonnies are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five home games. The underdogs is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and they get the win here. Take RICHMOND!

Iowa at Michigan 9:00 ET

Hawkeyes (+) over Wolverines- Both clubs are on an upswing as Iowa has won four straight and seven of eight with the loss coming at home against these Wolverines. For Michigan it seems that 'less is more' as they are off another win while Juwan Howard serves out his five-game suspension but are only 4-10 ATS after a SU win. Although I look to play 'on' a team favored over a ranked team in this situation I like the advantages the Hawkeyes have with the 5th ranked offense scoring 83.7ppg while the Wolves rank No. 188 on defense. Take IOWA!

L.S.U. at Arkansas 9:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Razorbacks- Arkansas has made a move winning their last four games and 13 of the past 14 games defeating four ranked team in the process. SU was ranked No.12 before it hit the skids as they are 5-7 since January 15 when they fell at home to these same Razorbacks. Arkansas is off an emotional 75-73 win over No. 6 Kentucky Saturday and may get caught in an emotional down turn here off their victory over the Wildcats. Take L.S.U.!

Auburn at Mississippi State 9:00 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Tigers- Deemed the No. 1 team in the country two weeks ago  the Auburn Tigers have dropped in the polls to No. 5 as they have lost three-in-a-row. Mississippi State coach Ben Holland lead UCLA to consecutive Final-4's in 2007 and 2008 and are on a three game steak of their own but it is a positive run. The Tigers are 0-5 TS in their last five road games and the Bulldogs are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine home games and are off a non-cover win and are 15-6 ATS following an ATS loss. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE!

Minnesota at Maryland 9:00 ET

Golden Gophers (+) over Terrapins- A pair of sub-500 teams will battle to get to the breakeven mark as Maryland who has won 3-of-4 take on Minnesota who has lost 13 of their last 16 games straight-up but are 6-1 ATS after an ATS loss. The Terrapins are off an upset win over Ohio State and are 4-11 ATS after a win. Take MINNESOTA!

Purdue at Wisconsin 9:00 ET

Boilermakers (-) over Badgers- Wisconsin has clinch a share of the Big Ten regular season title with a win here over the Boilermakers. The Badgers won the first meeting in Lafayette 74-69 in early January and they are 11-3 SU at home this season and 13-5 over Purdue in the last 18 meetings at the Kohl Center. Seems a bit off that the Boilermakers are favored here but the Badgers are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games. Take PURDUE!

Kansas at T.C.U. 8:00 ET

Horned Frogs (+) over Jayhawks- No. 6 Kansas still has a half-game lead over Baylor despite their 80-70 (Power Play) to the Bears on Saturday. TCU is trying to rise above the 'bubble' and upset No. 9 Texas Tech on Saturday as they have five wins against top-25 clubs. The Jayhawks lost in Waco has them at 2-7 ATS in their last seven road games while TCU is 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games as underdogs. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN!

Providence at Villanova 6:30 ET

Wildcats (-) over Friars- Two weeks ago 'we' posted a Megabucks selection on the Wildcats as they defeated the Friars 89-84 on Providence. Villanova is off a loss to Connecticut on Tuesday while the Friars have posted three consecutive wins since their defeat to the Cats. This price looks way high and it seems just too easy to take the points with a team that has already clinched their first Big East regular season championship. Don't do it...take VILLANOVA!

Baylor at Texas 9:00 ET

Longhorns (+) over Bears- Texas is a mid one of their better stretches of the season as they have won five of their last seven with the losses coming at the hands of No. 6 Baylor and No. 9 Texas Tech. The Bears are off a Power Play win 80-70 over Kansas Saturday where that trailed by 11 at the half and then mode their mover over the Jayhawks. Last year it was defense that made the difference for Baylor but this year it is the Longhorns who are No. 5 in the nation defensively allowing only 58.8ppg. Bears just 1-4 ATS in their last five road games and the 'Horns get it done here. Take TEXAS!

San Diego State at Wyoming 9:00 ET

Cowboys (+) over Aztecs- San Diego State always seems to battle for the Mountain West title every season but never really impresses anybody and this team is seeking for another 20-win season and they are even less impressive. The Aztecs have one of the worst offenses in college basketball averaging just 65.5ppg while Wyoming's defense is their strong point as they only allow 65.6ppg. SDS is just 3-5 SU on the road and the Cowboys are 5-1 ATS as home underdogs and 24-7 ATS in their last 31 games as underdogs overall. Take WYOMING!

Syracuse at North Carolina 7:00 ET

Orange (+) over Tar Heels- Having won their last three games the Tar Heels still have a shot at the ACC regular season title (a surprise to me) and need a win here tonight and again in their final game at Duke. Syracuse who will need a tourney push to qualify for the 'Big Dance' has dropped their last two including a 97-72 drubbing by Duke Saturday. The Boeheim trio are gutty and respond after a defeat and are 7-2 ATS after a SU loss and 11-5 ATS after a double digit loss. The dog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and UNC is 1-5 ATS after an ATS win. Take SYRACUSE!

Indiana at Minnesota 6:00 ET

Golden Gophers (+) over Hoosiers- If this Indiana team makes it to the NCAA Tournament it is because they got hot down the stretch and made a good showing in the Big Ten tournament or because of past reputation because this year's version is not all that good. But, ah the Golden Gophers at 500 might be able to qualify for the NIT or one of the other off shoots but they have not impressed anyone. Here the Hoosiers are favored and they have won just once on the road going 1-8 SU as visitors and 2-13-1 ATS in their last 16. Take MINNESOTA!

St. John's at DePaul 5:00 ET

Blue Demons (+) over Red Storm- Much more was expect from this Red Storm squad but being one of the nation's worst free throw shooting teams ranking No. 320 (out of 354) and shooting just 66.9% has them failing in tight situations. Because of this glaring weakness St. John's has lost too many one possession losses and are 1-7 in those close situations. Take DEPAUL!

Ohio State at Maryland 4:00 ET

Terrapins (+) over Buckeyes- No. 19 Ohio State is off a huge win at Illinois Thursday having won their last two games and are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Maryland is 13-15 SU and could be headed for their first losing season in 29 years. But, this afternoon they will honor their 2002 National Champions and that will add pride and incentive for the Terps. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings Take MARYLAND!

U.S.C. at Oregon 10:00 ET

Trojans (+) over Ducks- Oregon was a Megabucks winner for us over UCLA Thursday 69-63 outright while the Trojans as 11-point favorites at Oregon State had to go overtime defeat the 3-23 Beavers. The Ducks used a late surge to defeat the Bruins but it won't be enough tonight. USC is 7-1 ATS on the road against teams with winning records and the Ducks are just 1-4 ATS in their last five home games. Take USC!

Kansas at Baylor 8:00 ET

Bears (-) over Jayhawks- Kansas is off the best shooting game of the season as they destroyed rival Kansas State and I'm sure that they are pleased with their play and enjoying their romp over their arch rival. Things will be different in Waco while the Bears will be ready to growl and atone for their 24-point loss to the Jayhawks in Lawrence. Baylor's defense allows just 63ppg and I'm sure Kansas wont shoot over 64% again. Take BAYLOR!

Seton Hall at Xavier 3:30 ET

Pirates (+) over Musketeers- Okay to start with you have to figure if this is a 'hate' bet or not. Xavier busted out Megabucks winning streak by losing in triple-overtime at Providence. Now, not only are the Musketeers tiered but they are mentally exhausted. This have been an underdogs series for the past decade as the pup is 14-3 ATS in the last 17 meetings and the road team is 6-0 ATS in the last six. Xaviers is 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games overall. Take SETON HALL!

Virginia Tech at Miami 3:00 ET

Hokies (+) over Hurricanes- The last time these two met Miami sank a half-court buzzer-beater defeating the 5-point favorite Hokies 78-75. Since then Virginia Tech is 7-1 with their lone loss to North Carolina. It's Senior night in Miami and so many of them are going home in tears. The underdog is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings and the beat goes on here. Take VIRGINIA TECH!

Northwestern at Penn State 7:00 ET

Wildcats (+) over Nittany Lions- Although neither of these clubs is in any real contention in the Big Ten there seeding in the Conference tournament extends a bye in the first round. Northwestern can clinch a bye with a win over the Nittany Lions who defeated the Cats at home the first week of January. The dogs is 4-1 ATS in the last four meetings and Penn State is 8-0 ATS in their last eight home games. So, after defeating the Wildcats earlier they are a meager favorite here because they are in trouble. Take NORTHWESTERN!

UCLA at Oregon 9:30 ET

Ducks (+) over Bruins- Oregon who defeated the Bruins in LA has dropped 3-of-4 and are off an 84-81 loss to Arizona held UCLA to 39.7% shooting in the first matchup. Shooting seems to be an issue with the Bruins as that once again shot under 40% last time out against lowly ASU. The little bears don't seem to travel all that well as they are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games and 17-39 ATS in their last 56 road games as favorites. Ducks sitting pretty here get the win. Take OREGON!

Ohio State at Illinois 9:00 ET

Buckeyes (+) over Illini- Both of these ranked Big Ten teams have a legitimate chance of making it to the Final-4 as their schedule will toughen them up for the pressure of the Big Dance. Ohio State is off an overtime win and cover over Indiana Monday bouncing back after a home loss to Iowa. Illinois last played on Saturday defeating Michigan State but are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games while the Buckeyes are 9-3 ATS as road dogs. Take OHIO STATE!

Gonzaga at San Francisco 9:00 ET

Dons (+) over Bulldogs- Is there any team in the West Coast Conference that can stand-up to No. 1 ranked Gonzaga (12-0)...the answer is no, no one can. But, the Dons (back-to-back national champs with Bill Russell and KC Jones) can play and should make the field for the tournament especially with a good showing here. Frisco averages 77.7ppg and coach Todd Golden called this the best Dons team in 40 years...maybe 60, but they can keep this one close. Take SAN FRANCISCO!

Duke at Virginia 7:00 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Blue Devils- There is plenty of motivation for the Blue Devils tonight as they travel to Charlottesville to play one of their bigger ACC nemesis Virginia. Duke is looking to avenge a 69-68 home loss to the Cavaliers two weeks ago and they as aware this is coach K's final season and they want to send him off with the Blue Devils first regular season ACC title since (believe it or not) 2010. Virginia has won 5-of-6 and allows just 60.1ppg and always plays the Devils tough and they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as home underdogs and the dog is 19-6-1 ATS in the last 26 meetings. That's enough for me! Take VIRGINIA!

Wake Forest at Clemson 7:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Demon Deacons- Doesn't this look at bit odd to you...it does to me. Here is 21-7 Wake Forest at sub-par Clemson who has lost six in-a-row and 8-of-10 a favorite by less that a Curry field goal. Sometimes one team has another team's 'number' no matter how good or bad either team may be. Clemson has won eight of the last meetings SU including a 60-39 win at Wake last season. The Deacons have been great ATS and are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games and that why this 'low' price peaks my interest. Tigers who are not as good as in years past are 9-4-1 ATS in last 14 as home underdogs Take CLEMSON!

Xavier at Providence 7:00 ET

Musketeers (+) over Friars- Providence managed to overcome a 19-point second-half deficit and defeat Butler but it wasn't good enough to cover as they fell to our Money Game winner. So, here they are the over-achieving Friars are the Big East leaders at 12-2 and here is inconsistent Xavier 7-8 in conference playing in what the odds-makers deem to be a virtual pick-em affair. The ball has bounced the Jesuits way and the pendulum swings both ways. Take XAVIER!
