Georgia Tech vs Florida State 8:30 ET

Yellow Jackets vs Seminoles- Florida State is in the unique position with a 'double-bye' and COVID issues of having to win only two games to be crown ACC champions. Georgia Tech has been an outlier the entire season and split the two meetings with each squad winning as hosts. The Yellow Jackets are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games overall and they are 23-9 ATS in their last 32 games after an ATS loss. The Seminoles are 11-5-3 ATS in their last 19 games at neural sites. Note, the underdog is 22-10 ATS in the last 32 meetings. Take GEORGIA TECH!

Oklahoma State vs Texas 6:00 ET

Longhorns (+) over Cowboys- Both clubs moved up the Big-12 pecking order as the conference two top seed are out and for different reasons. Texas was able to advance to the Finals without making a shot as Kansas had player testing positive for the virus and Oklahoma State did it with usual way by defeating Baylor 83-74 last night. It seems a bit off that the Longhorns opened the favorite here and that is a bit of a surprise as OK St is 16-56 ATS as underdogs and Texas is 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 games overall as favorites but the dog is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Take TEXAS!

Iowa at Illinois 3:30 ET

Hawkeyes (+) over Illini- The Big Ten will pit a pair of clubs that are ranked in the top five in the nation and they are both making a run at the conference playoff title. Iowa has won 8-of-9 getting by Wisconsin 62-57 last night while making just 3-of-20 from beyond the arc. Illinois is also streaking having won 12 of their last 13 including a crushing 90-68 win over Rutgers. The Hawkeyes are 13-3-2 ATS in their last 18 games at neutral sites and the Illini are just 1-4 ATS aft3er a win by 20-points or more. Take IOWA!

LSU vs Arkansas 3:30 ET

Tigers (+) over Razorbacks- These squads split the two meetings this season both winning at home and are coming off contested wins making late runs for the wins and cover. The trends for the Razorbacks are difficult to turn away from as they are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games and are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games overall. LSU has struggled at neutral sites going 3-12-3 ATS as underdogs and 4-10 ATS as an underdogs in their last 14 games overall. Take LSU!

Tennessee vs Alabama 1:00 ET

Volunteers (+) over Crimson Tide- One of these teams will reach the SEC title and 'we' are wondering if either of them will know what to do when they get there as it have been decades since either school have won the SEC Championship. It has been over three decades since Alabama has won the conference tournament while Tennessee hasn't won since 1979. The Tide are coming off their fourth win by 30-points or more as they destroyed Mississippi State 85-48 and have won four straight and 7-of-8 but they are just 2-6 ATS after holding opponents to less than 50-points. The underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and that trends continues today. Take TENNESSEE!

Mississippi vs LSU 9:30 ET

Rebels (+) over Tigers- Mississippi started their SEC season on a poor note losing 4-of-5 but have won 8-of-10 overall and are fighting for an NCAA berth and are up against third seed LSU who have won their last two and five of their last seven overall. The Tigers dismantled the Reb's on their own floor 75-61 holding poor shooting Ole Miss to 33% from the floor. But, Mississippi has won their last three and are 4-0 ATS in their last four as underdogs and the dog is 3-0-1 ATS in the last four meetings. Tigers are also 7-18-2 ATS in their lasts 27 games at neutral sites. Take MISSISSIPPI!

Missouri vs Arkansas 7:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Razorbacks- What's going on with SEC basketball with Alabama and Arkansas seeded No. 1 and 2 while the Kentucky's and other former powers sit and watch. No. 8 Arkansas closed the season with eight straight wins and split the series with the Tigers each winning on the others home floor. Missouri just slide by Georgia 73-70 yesterday and the Tigers are 5-1 in games decided by five-points or less. The underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and I expect another close one tonight! Take MISSOURI!

Oklahoma State vs Baylor 6:30 ET

Bears (-) over Cowboys- The Baylor Bears are 22-1 on the season although they have been spotty at best in their most recent play since their three week break due to COVID concerns. The Bears were sidelined between Feb. 2 and Feb 23 and have gone 3-5 ATS in their last eight games overall since returning to action and were sloppy in their 74-68 win over Kansas State as a 20-point favorite as they committed a season high 21 turnovers. Oklahoma State has won 7-of-8 and are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games as underdogs and the dog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings but the Bears are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games on neutral sites. Take BAYLOR!

North Carolina at Virginia Tech 9:00 ET

Hokies (+) over Tar Heels- North Carolina is off the second largest victory margin in ACC playoff history trouncing Notre Dame 101-59 and are favored as the 6th tourney seed while Virginia Tech is the 'higher-seed' and is getting points. The Hokies are 4-1 ATS as dogs and will take advantage of a Tar Heels club that has won 3-of-4 and are 6-2-1 ATS at neutral sites. V.Tech hasn't played in12 days and will be ready for bear. Take VIRGINIA TECH!

Indiana at Rutgers 6:30 ET

Hoosiers (+) over Scarlet Knights- Rutgers has a chance to make the NCAA Big Dance for the first time since 1991 and already have a pair of wins over the Hoosiers who have lost their last five going 0-5 ATS but are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as underdogs at neutral sites. The Scarlet nights are 2-5 ATS when are playing lesser teams with losing records. Look fo the twice beaten Hoosiers to get the money here. Take INDIANA!

Duke vs Louisville 6:30 ET

Cardinals (+) over Blue Devils- The last time I saw these two they were going at it head-to-head 10 days ago and the Cardinals (+5) won in overtime 80-72 at Chapel Hill despite Matthew Hurt's career high 37 points for the Blue Devils. Louisville who swept both meetings against Duke for the first time of course fell to Virginia their next time out 78-68 and opened a small (-2.5) underdog here. The Cardinals are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and get it done once again here. Take LOUISVILLE!

Marquette vs Georgetown 3:00 ET

Hoyas (+) over Golden Eagles- These two Big East bottom feeders have shown little on the court this season as Georgetown started by losing eight of their first 11 and Marquette really never got anything going and had to win four of their final five to end at 13-13 and 8-11 in conference play. The Golden Eagles are just 5-12 ATS on neutral sites and just 3-8 ATS after a SU win while the Hoyas are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 overall and 4-1 ATS after a SU win. Marquette won the only meetings between the pair as a 4.5-point favorite winning 64-60 at Georgetown. Hoyas seeking revenge and get it! Take GEORGETOWN!

N.C. State at Syracuse 12:00 ET

Wolfpack (+) over Orange- These two have met twice already this season with Syracuse winning both meetings winning 76-73 at home and 77-68 again 10 days later. NC State is on a 5-game roll and are 4-1 ATS closing the season while the Orange who have one quality win (vs North Carolina) and are 2-6 in their last eight games after an ATS win. The underdog is 4-1 in the last five meetings and the Wolfpack have 'double-revenge) Take NORTH CAROLINA STATE!

Wake Forest vs Notre Dame 7:00 ET

Demon Deacons (+) over Fighting Irish- Being the opening round of a tournament where four-teams get 'Double Byes' the records of these opponents isn't very good and in some cases it's down right terrible and I could say Wake for entering 6-15 and has lost seven in a row and the first was an OT loss at Florida and but the last six have been by 16, 18, 21, 18, 13 1nd 23 going 0-6 ATS in the last six. Now, Notre Dame has been no prize either sure winning their last game against Boston College but they gas dropped three straight entering that fray. Although the game is in the Carolina's and you need a 3.9 GPA to be accepted to Wake Forest those numbers do not compute on the court. Take the FIGHTING IRISH!

Boston College vs Duke 4:30 ET

Eagles (+) over Blue Devils- at 11-11 Duke will have to win five games in five days to win the ACC Championship and an NCAA Tournament berth...maybe with a little luck, four wins and a loss or making it into the finals...nah that won't do it either because they relay aren't that good. The Blue Devils have lost their last three and in the season finals against arch rival North Carolina they were blown out from start to finals and ended up losing by 18. Boston College can only dream of Evan and Kacvance and Driscoll as they have dropped 14 of 16 straight-up and although they payed the Blue Devils to an 83-82 loss (+12) at Chapel Hill they will succumb here. Take DUKE!

Miami-Fl vs Pittsburgh 2:00 ET

Hurricanes (+) over Panthers- If you have watched these two teams play this season you'll understand why they are seeded 12th and 13th in the weakest ACC conference team-wise from top to bottom that I can ever remember. (But, I forget a lot...) Both Pittsburgh and Miami coming limping into the ACC playoffs with the Hurricanes off on the right foot with a win over Boston College last Friday ending a six-game losing streak. The Panthers have lost 6-of-7 as well including a 77-62 beatdown by Clemson last Tuesday the team they will meet if they survive here. But, alas...they won't! This is the worst season in Miami basketball in 27 years and it was due more the most part by players losing time with the virus and a season ending injury in early December to All-ACC guard Chris Lykes. Jim Larranaga is too good a coach to end the season without a win here. Canes 7-2 SU in last nine meetings over Panthers and 8-3 ATS last 11. Take MIAMI-FLORIDA!

Penn State at Maryland 7:00 ET

Nittany Lions (+) over Terrapins- Maryland was at .500 (10-10) before winning five straight but are off a loss at Northwestern last tie out while Penn State enters this one off their best game of the year defeating Minnesota 84-65 Wednesday night. The Lions are looking for a series swept winning the first meeting at home 55-50 and are 16-7 ATS as road underdogs. While the home team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings Maryland is just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games. Take PENN STATE!

Cincinnati at East Carolina 1:00 ET

Bearcats over Pirates- This will the final game of the season for both clubs and the winner will finish the season at and even .500. as they are both one-game under entering this fray. Both clubs have had to deal with COVID issues with Cincinnati at 6-3 SU since their return to play while the Pirates have lost their last three and 8-of-9 and have played just once in the last 28 days a 64-60 home loss to Central Florida. Both clubs have been a 'go-against' this season as the Bearcats are a dismal 5-14 ATS this year while EC is 5-10 ATS. The underdog is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings but the points shouldn't matter in this one. Take CINCINNATI!

Wisconsin at Iowa 12:30 ET

Badgers (+) over Hawkeyes- These two ranked clubs are moving in opposite directions as the regular Big Ten season closes as the Badgers have dropped four of their last five games and Iowa has won six of their past seven games overall. In an earlier meeting between these two the Hawkeyes won easy at Wisconsin 77-162 as Luka Garza put up 30 points while his counterpart Micah Potter had 23 points and 11 rebounds for Wisconsin. Despite their recent slump the Badgers are 8-2-2 ATS in their last 12 after a SU loss and they are 7-2 ATS on Sundays. The road team is 8-3-1 ATS in the last 12 meetings as well. Take WISCONSIN!

Seton Hall at St. John's 7:00 ET

Pirates (+) over Red Storm- Now, hold on a second...Seton Hall has dropped their last three games overall and are now 13-11 on the season. The Pirates only hope for the Big Dance is a win here and then a deep run in the Big East tourney. St. John's at 16-10 is 10-3 ATS at home while the 'Hall' are 0-5 ATS in their last five games overall and are just 6-6 on the road but opened the Vegas favorite. Maybe it's because they are 10-1 ATS after a 'double-digit' home loss and last time out at home Connecticut got the best of them 69-58. Take SETON HALL!

Duke at North Carolina 6:00 ET

Blue Devils (+) over Tar Heels- Wow, what a disappointing season for the Blue Devils and even worse for their backers as they are a putrid 7-14 ATS on the season and a miserable 3-10 ATS in their last 13 on the road. So, bad has it been for youthful Duke that they are only 2-9 ATS against teams with winning records. But, they can safe face with a win here against their hated rival as the dog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings and the Tar Heels are just 3-13-1 ATS against teams with losing road records and the Devils are just 3-5 on the road. But, still this one will be a dog-fight. Take DUKE!

Illinois at Ohio State 4:00 ET

Buckeyes (+) over Illini- Illinois who will be without their leading scorer and one of the nation's best players have won three straight while the reeling Buckeyes have dropped their last three games to Michigan, Michigan Stater and Iowa last Sunday. Having a week to recover will aid Ohio State who is 7-1 ATS after a double-digit loss and 146 ATS in their last 20 home games. The Illini who just crushed Michigan 76-53 are 0-4 ATS after a win of 20-points or more. Take OHIO STATE!

Virginia at Louisville 4:00 ET

Cardinals (+) over Cavaliers- Virginia who broke a 3-game losing streak last time out has failed to 'cover' in 4-straight games but has secured a 'Double-Bye' in the ACC tournament this coming week. Louisville who hasn't played since their OT win over Duke last Sunday needs a win here to get their own 'Double-Bye' for the tourney. The Cavaliers are 2-5-1 ATS against teams with winning records in their last seven while the Cardinals are 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight home games. Add that the home team is 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take LOUISVILLE!

Villanova at Providence 2:30 ET

Friars (+) over Wildcats- Villanova clinched their 7th Big East regular season title on Wednesday with a convincing win over Creighton and are slotted as the No. 1 seed regardless of Saturday's result. The Wildcats will without one of the top players in the country as Collin Gillespie was hurt against the Bluejays and his impact will be hard to make-up. Providence fell to St. John's on Wednesday shooting a season's worst 4-of-23 from beyond the arc and should do better here. Take the FRIARS!

Texas at Oklahoma 9:00 ET

Longhorns (+) over Sooners- It started with na poor performance and loss to lowly Kansas State as a 10-point favorite and then a pair of losses to rival Oklahoma State and now Oklahoma has dropped three straight. The Sooners have lost their last four against the pints and 5-of-6 with just an overtime win over West Virginia since February 6th. Texas has been no prize to it's backers as they are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 outings with their lone 'covers' coming against the bottom two Big-12 clubs Iowa State and TCU. The road team is 6-0 ATS in their series and the underdog is 15-3 ATS in the last 18 meetings. Take TEXAS!

Oklahoma State at Baylor 7:00 ET

Bears (-) over Cowboys- Baylor didn't get to has six games cancelled over a three week period because of virus concerns and since they returned to action they have been underwhelming with a narrow win over low,y Iowa State a loss at Kansas and an unimpressive OT win at West Virginia. But, here they are a huge favorite over an Oklahoma State team that is on a run winning six straIght. Well guess what the Cowboys streak is over and so are the Bears doldrums. Take BAYLOR!

U.C.L.A. at Oregon 9:00 ET

Bruins (+) over Ducks- UCLA has a chance to return to glory by winning the Pac-12 regular season title their first since 2012-13 if they can manage wins over Oregon and USC in their final two games. The Bruins hold a half-game lead over both entering the final week of conference play. The Ducks have won 8-of-9 and will close their season against rival Oregon State on Sunday. These two have had this meeting cancelled four times this season because of virus protocols. Although, UCLA is 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games overall they are 6-2 ATS as road underdogs and must overcome an Oregon squad that is 23-11 as home favorites in their last 34 as hosts. The Bruins have won four of the last five meetings and will get the money here. Take UCLA!

Creighton at Villanova 8:30 ET

Bluejays (+) over Wildcats- Villanova is coming off their worst shooting performance in over a decade as they were just 2-of-27 from beyond the arc in their 73-61 loss to Butler last time out. The Wildcats look to even the season series at home where they are 8-0 SU on the season having lost 86-70 at Creighton three weeks ago but are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five home games against teams with winning records. The Bluejays had their 4-game win streak stopped by Xavier but can win the Big East regular season title outright with a win here and again in their final game against Butler. They are 4-0 ATS in their last four games as underdogs and 5-1 ATS as road dogs and the pups are 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings. Cats are not as strong as previous clubs and fall short here. Take CREIGHTON!

Providence at St. John's 7:00 ET

Friars (+) over Red Storm- St. John's has been playing give and take this season as they lead the Big East in scoring putting up 79.2 points per game but they also are last in the conference in defense allowing 77.4 points per contest. The Red Storm posted a 92-81 win at Providence but have lost 3-of-4 since and are seeing their NCAA Tourney chances going down the drain. The Friars are 3-1 SU in their last four games since their home loss to the former Redmen and will get some measure of revenge tonight. The underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings and the road team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 encounters between the two. Take PROVIDENCE!

Clemson at Syracuse 5:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Orange- Syracuse is coming off a huge come-from-behind home 72-70 victory over North Carolina on Monday as a 2-point underdogs and now the line has shifted. That win was their fourth in their last six games while Clemson has won their last five and has a 78-61 win over the 'Cuse when they held the visitors to just three field goals in the first half although they are 12-1 SU at home the Orange are just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 against teams with winning records and 1-4 ATS after a SU win. Take CLEMSON!

Wisconsin at Purdue 9:00 ET

Badgers (+) over Boilermakers- Purdue is one of the better and unheralded Big Ten clubs that has added depth to the nation's deepest conference and have won three straight and 4-of-5. The Boilermakers began Big Ten play 2-3 and have gone 9-3 since and are 9-1 SU at home. Wisconsin who many (including myself) expect more from this season have lost three of four after dropping a 74-69 decision to Illinois and are 8-1-2 ATS in their last 11 games after a loss. Purdue is just 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight home games although the home team is 5-1-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. No matter here...it's WISCONSIN!

Indiana at Michigan State 8:00 ET

Hoosiers (+) over Spartans- Both of these former Big Ten powerhouses are off losses with the Hoosiers having lost a season high three in-a-row while Michigan State was pounded by Maryland Sunday ending a 3-game win streak. Two of the Spartans wins came over a pair of Top-5 ranked teams Big Ten teams Illinois and Ohio State and well as a 78-71 win at Bloomington 10 days ago. Both of these clubs are on the NCAA 'bubble' and will need to close the season with wins here and in the conference playoffs. Indiana is 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 road games and 11-5 ATS after a SU loss while MSU who is 10-3 SU at home is just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games, 5-15 ATS in their last 20 overall and 5-17 ATS in their last 22 as favorites including 1-7 ATS as home favorites. Add that the underdog in 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings give 'us'...INDIANA!

Arkansas at South Carolina 6:30 ET

Gamecocks (+) over Razorbacks- Arkansas has posted a number of impressive SEC wins this season and have won nine straight conference games. South Carolina snapped a six-game losing streak by a dominating 91-70 rout at Georgia Saturday and are 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall and are 0-4 ATS in their last four games after a loss. The Razorbacks are not only 6-0 ATS in their last six overall they are 6-0 ATS in their last six games as favorites. The Gamecocks are only 2-6 ATS in their last eight games as home underdogs but are 5-1 ATS when playing a team with a winning percentage of .600 of better. So it's...SOUTH CAROLINA!

Arizona at Oregon 9:00 ET

Wildcats (+) over Ducks- Oregon has won 7-of-8 and will be playing against UCLA on Wednesday in a game that will most likely determine the Pac-12 Champion. The Ducks have won the last six meetings SU and 9-of-11 against the Wildcats including a 63-61 win at Tuscon two weeks ago. This will be the final game of the season for Arizona who has a self-imposed one-year ban on postseason play and are excited to end their season on a positive note. In what may or may not have value Arizona is 11-1 ATS in their last 12 Monday games while the Ducks are 2-6 ATS in their last eight Monday games. Oregon is 1-4 ATS in their last five home games as favorites and the road team and underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take ARIZONA!

Rutgers at Nebraska 7:00 ET

Cornhuskers (+) over Scarlet Knights- Nebraska had lost five straight and 14 of their last 15 games before upending Minnesota 78-74 at home Saturday and I must note that the Golden Gophers are winless (0-9) on the road. Rutgers who's season had been on a downward swing since being ranked early in the season had lost 3-of-4 before rallying from 15-points down against Indiana Saturday winning 74-63. The underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings and should get the money here. Take NEBRASKA!

North Carolina at Syracuse 7:00 ET

Orange (+) over Tar Heels- North Carolina ended a 10-game losing streak against ranked opponents with their come-back win over Florida State on Saturday helping complete 'our' 5-1 winning day. The Tar Heels are one of the better rebounding teams in the nation and will be up against a Syracuse team that lost to Georgia Tech Saturday and were outscored 54-24 in the paint. NC trailed the Seminoles by 16-points but had four freshman lead the comeback by scoring in double figures. They won and covered the first meeting between these two (-5) 81-75 in Chapel Hill and have won 10 0f the last 11 meetings with the Orange straight-up. Carolina is 9-19-1 ATS in their last 29 games after a SU win and 2-8 ATS on the road against teams with winning home records. Ad that the home team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings...take SYRACUSE!

Iowa at Ohio State 4:00 ET

Hawkeyes (+) over Buckeyes- These two Top-10 ranked Big Ten clubs are both coming off losses as the Buckeyes have dropped their last two after winning seven in-a-row losing to Michigan and Michigan State while Iowa also fell to Michigan last time out. The Hawkeyes are 14-4 after a SU loss and seem to play well at the weeks end and are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games on Sundays and Ohio State has responded well after a SU loss going 7-1 ATS in their last eight after a defeat. This should be a tough hard fought game with both clubs looking to remain in the Top-10 but one will obviously fall after today's game and I'm looking for the Hawkeyes to survive. Take IOWA!

Michigan State at Maryland 2:00 ET

Terrapins (-) over Spartans- It has been an unusual season for Michigan State and Tom Izzo as they were ranked as high as No. 6 in the nation early on and have won their last three games after falling to 4-9 in Big Ten play. Wins over Indiana, No. 5 Ohio State and No. 6 Illinois have given the Spartans life with a dash of hope that they can continue the NCAA tournament streak going as they have qualified every year since 1997. Maryland is well rested having played last seven days ago and have won four in-a-row and are 4-1 ATS on Sundays. The Spartans are just 5-14 ATS in their last 19 games overall and 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games. Take MARYLAND!

Memphis at Cincinnati 1:00 ET

Tigers (-) over Bearcats- Memphis is one of the toughest defensive teams in the nation allowing 62 points per game and only 60.3 to AAC opponents as they are 5th in the nation allowing just 38.4% FG shooting and No. 3 guarding the 3-point line allowing opponents just 26.6% from beyond the arc. Cincinnati who have won two straight after a season worse 90-52 loss to Houston are just 7-19 ATS after a SU win and a dreadful 2-11 ATS in their last 13 home games. The Tigers meanwhile are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games overall and are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and the road team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take MEMPHIS!

Alabama at Mississippi State 6:00 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Crimson Tide- aside from Gonzaga and Baylor, Alabama has had the best run of ant school this season and they are just one win away from clinching their first SEC regular season title since 2002. This is their second opportunity to clinch as they were taken out 81-66 at Arkansas on Wednesday as they committed 32 fouls allowing the Razorbacks to attempt 43 free throws. Mississippi State who just mover over .500 with two consecutive wins have done it with defense as they are one of the worst shooting teams in the nation and are at 65.4% from the free throw line. But they can play defense allowing just 65.6 points per game and dominated South Carolina on Wednesday forcing the Gamecocks to miss 44 of 62 shots from the floor. The Tide are used to playing for championships in the SEC on the gridiron but in the cage not so much. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE!

Louisville at Duke 6:00 ET

Cardinals (+) over Blue Devils- The Blue Devils have won and 'covered' their last four and are doing it in impressive fashion including a win over No. 6 ranked Virginia. Louisville meanwhile has alternated wins and losses in the last five games and recovered from a horrific 99-54 loss at North Carolina where at one point the Tar Heels had a 50-point lead but the rebounded with a convincing 69-57 win over Notre Dame on Monday. The Cardinals get it done with defense and they can play it well enough to keep this one within the 'number.' Take LOUISVILLE!

Florida State at North Carolina 4:00 ET

Tar Heels (+) over Seminoles- Florida State has a chance to win their second consecutive ACC regular season title and I was a betting man I would wager that you didn't realize that! Winning at Chapel Hill will not be an easy task as they haven't won their since 2010 but they like their chances as they have already defeated the Tar Heels 82-75 in Tallahassee as a 4-points favorite in mid January. North Carolina who hasn't had the best of seasons were 8-0 at home until non-conference Marquette handed the Heels their first home loss as a beaten 10-point favorite. Carolina is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games overall and the Seminoles are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 visits to Chapel Hill. Take NORTH CAROLINA!

L.S.U. at Arkansas 2:00 ET

Razorbacks (-) over Tigers- These two SEC rivals are coming into this matchup from totally different places and will have completely different attitudes as Arkansas is off a their best game of the season crushing SEC leader Alabama 81-66 while the Tigers were embarrassed by Georgia 91-78 in what was their worst game of the season. I expect both clubs to move toward the center and the tigers to play better and the razorbacks to have difficulty matching their best game of the year. LSU won the first meeting 92-76 in Baton Rouge and will get the series swept here. Take LOUISIANA STATE!

South Carolina at Georgia 1:00 ET

Gamecocks (-) over Bulldogs- Georgia pulled off a surprising upset on Tuesday defeated LSU 91-78 and it wasn't even that close s they held the Tigers to 27 of 67 FG attempts. South Carolina meanwhile was having their worst shooting game of the season making only 18 of 62 attempts from the floor at Mississippi State while scoring only 48 points. The Gamecocks have lost six straight but are 5-1 ATS when playing a team with a winning % of 60 or better. The Bulldogs are just 1-6 ATS after scoring 90 points or better and 5-11 ATS in their last 16 Saturday games. Note that the underdogs is 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings and the road teams is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take SOUTH CAROLINA!

Purdue at Penn State 7:00 ET

Nittany Lions over Boilermakers- With the long and short history of these two clubs it is difficult to see why the Boilermakers did not open the favorite here. After all Purdue has won 10 of the last 11 meetings straight up and are off double-digit wins over Michigan State and Nebraska. Penn State meanwhile just ended a 4-game losing streak with a win of their own over Nebraska but are 1-3 ATS in their last four games overall. Purdue is 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall and 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven road games. The Lions are just 4-9 ATS in their last 13 home games but are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall. This 'line' looks like a 'come-get-me' play on Purdue...so Take PENN STATE!

Ohio State at Michigan State 9:00 ET

Spartans (+) over Buckeyes- No. 4 OSU had their 7-game win streak ended last time out falling to Michigan at home 92-87 but still have won 10-of-12. The Buckeyes defeated MSU in their first meeting 79-62 but the Spartans who were hit with COVID issues are a different team this time around and have won their last two including an impressive 81-72 win over No. 5 Illinois last time out. The Buckeyes are 7-0 ATS after a SU loss and 6-0 ATS as road favorites but the home team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings and MSU is 12-4 ATS as home underdogs. Take MICHIGAN STATE!

UCLA at Utah 8:00 ET

Utes (+) over Bruins- Despite their 16-5 SU record UCLA is considered to be on the NCAA bubble and this outing will show you why. The Bruins posted a 72-70 win over Utah at Pauley Pavilion on New Year's Eve and have dropped their last three games overall. UCLA is a poor 1-7 ATS as road favorites and the Utes are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as underdogs and most important the home team is 11-4 ATS in the last 15 meetings. Take UTAH!

Iowa at Michigan 7:00 ET

Hawkeyes (+) over Wolverines- A pair of top ranked Big Ten clubs square off in Ann Arbor where the No. 3 ranked Wolverines will host a streaking Iowa squad that has won for straight. Michigan is on a five-game win streak of their own and who is 11-0 SU at home going a more than respectable 8-3 ATS. This is their first meeting of the year between these two and the Hawkeyes bring the nation's leading scorer (24.7) in Luka Garza who also averages 8.5 rebounds and 1.6 blocks. Iowa plays well after a sub-par performance as they are 16-5 ATS after an ATS loss and the Wolverines continue to play well going 8-2 ATS after a SU win. Wolves are off a win over Ohio State and this one should come down to the final buzzer. Take IOWA!

Alabama at Arkansas 9:00 ET

Razorbacks over Crimson Tide- A great matchup between a pair of SEC upstarts as the conference has turned upside down with Kentucky falling so hard. No. 6 Alabama is in the Top10 for the first time in 20 years while the Razorbacks are right behind them in the SEC race winning seven straight conference games. This game opened with the Tide a 1-point favorite and the 'sharps' moved it to Arkansas -1 and for good reason as they are 4-0 ATS in their last four games overall. The 'Hogs' are looking to avenge a total beatdown at Alabama in their first meeting 90-59 and have responded by winning 7-of-8. Take ARKANSAS!

Cincinnati at Tulsa 9:00 ET

Bearcats (+) over Golden Hurricane- I've said it so many times that people are just tired of hearing that we should always consider fading the Bearcats as they are 3-12 ATS this season and believe it or not 'we' have had them two of the three times that they have covered the spread this season. So, here we are again, looking to cash-in on Cincinnati after their most lopsided loss in 10 years as Houston (Power play winner) crushed them 90-52. Prior to that loss the Cats had actually won four straight while Tulsa is off a win over Temple after having lost three straight and 5-of-6. The 'price' of this matchup tells me the Bearcats will rebound from their loss and the Golden Showers will revert to form. Take CINCINNATI!

N.C. State at Virginia 6:30 ET

Cavaliers (-) over Wolfpack- Virginia has dropped their last two for the first time this season losing to powerhouses Florida State and a surging Duke squad last time out but are 8-1-1 ATAS after a straight up loss. The middle-of-the -road Wolfpack have split their last eight games but have lost their leading scorer Devon Daniels for the season and the Cavaliers defense will shut down the rest of NC State offense that is turnover prone and just 2-6-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall and only 3-8 ATS against teams with winning records. The home team is 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings and the Cavaliers will focus on defense and shut down the pack. Take VIRGINIA!

Mississippi at Missouri 9:00 ET

Rebels (+) over Tigers- These two met 13 days ago and Mississippi posted a home 80-59 win over th-5 ATS against teams with SU winning records Tigers as part of a 4-game winning streak which ended last time out at home against rival Mississippi State 66-56. in that game Rebels leading scorer Devontae Shuler had a nightmare game shooting 1-for-15 from the floor ending with just four points. Missouri on the other hand recovered from a 3-game losing streak by winning at South Carolina 93-78 on Saturday. Although Mississippi is just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games they are 20-6 ATS after a loss of 10 points or more. Missouri is just 1-5 ATS against teams with a SU winning record. Take MISSISSIPPI!

Notre Dame at Louisville 7:00 ET

Fighting Irish (+) over Cardinals- Notre Dame was on a great ATS run winning five straight and 7-of-8 against the spread before blowing a 20-point second half lead to Syracuse Saturday losing 75-67 as they were outscored 42-11. Louisville is coming off a 99-54 loss at North Carolina and are 5-0 ATS in their last five games after a loss of 20 or more points. Despite their loss against the Orange the Irish are still 4-1 ATS in their last five road games.Take NOTRE DAME!

Georgia Tech at Virginia Tech 7:00 ET

Yellow Jackets (+) over Hokies- It has been 17 days since No. 17 Virginia Tech has been on the court as they have had their last three games cancelled while Georgia Tech had one game cancelled but have played since winning at Miami-FL 87-60 on Saturday. The Yellow Jackets are 15-7 ATS on the road and are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games against teams with winning records. VT is 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games including 4-1 ATS as home favorites. GT is 3-0 ATS in their last three games overall while the Hokies on a down swing is 0-2 ATS and 2-4 ATS in their most recent outings. Take GEORGIA TECH!

Syracuse at Duke 7:00 ET

Orange (+) over Blue Devils- The Blue Devils have won their last three and Coach 'K' credits their defense as making the difference. Syracuse has won six of their last last eight games and are off a 75-67 win over Notre Dame where they trailed by 20-points and then outscored the Irish 40-12 which included a 29-5 run. Duke has won the last three meetings outright but the road team is 4-0-1-ATS in the last five meetings and the Orange are just 1-4 ATS in their last five games as road underdogs. The Devils have struggled most of the year and are 3-12 ATS in their last 15 games overall and just 2-8 ATS as home favorites missing the 'Cameron Crazies' this season. With Duke coming off a huge win over Virginia they are just 5-11 ATS after a SU win. Take SYRACUSE.

Penn State at Iowa 5:00 ET

Nittany Lions (+) over Hawkeyes- There is not doubt who the better team is here as No. 11 Iowa has opened a double-digit favorite over Penn State. The Hawkeyes have won their last three games all by double-digits with their last win coming over a No. 21 ranked Wisconsin team 77-62 at Madison on Thursday. The Hawkeyes are rebounding nicely after losing four of five and have averaged 87 points in those wins lead by Luka Garza who is scoring 24.7 points per games. The Lions are a mirror image of Iowa losing four of their last five giving up a 59-51 lead over Ohio State getting outscored 18-2 down the stretch by the Buckeyes but are 5-2 after an ATS loss and 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall. The Hawkeyes are 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall. Take PENN STATE!

Maryland at Rutgers 3:00 ET

Terrapins (+) over Rutgers- Both of these clubs have a shot at making the NCAA's as they are now playing their best ball of the season. Maryland has won three straight while Rutgers have won five of seven after a five-game skid with both losses coming against ranked Michigan and Iowa. Going on the road hasn't been all bad for the Terps as they are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 after three straight home games. The Scarlet Knights are tough at home going 17-8-2 ATS in their last 27 games when hosting but the road team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take MARYLAND!

Cincinnati at Houston 1:00 ET

Cougars (-) over Bearcats- True Cincinnati has won have won four in-a-row (all by one possession) but are just 3-11 ATS overall this season. Houston who is 11-0 at home is 13-6 ATS on the season including 4-0 ATS in their last four home games as favorites. There have been a pair of changes for these clubs this week as the Bearcats lost a key contributor in guard Zach Harvey while the Cougars gained senior forward Fabian White who return to action on Thursday. Cincy's numbers are terrible as they are 18-40 ATS after a SU win, 16-40 ATS on the road and 6-15 ATS as underdogs. On the flip side Houston is 26-8 ATS after a loss and 7-2 ATS in their last nine overall. Take HOUSTON!

Virginia at Duke 8:00 ET

Blue Devils over Cavaliers- Hey do you realize because of the lack of a NCAA Tournament last season that Virginia is still the defending National Champions. Last time out they were shellacked by Florida State 81-60 and no defending champion gets beat that badly and they are 7-19 ATS after a loss of 20-points or more. Duke who almost quit the season has shown they still have some bite as they have won their last two following a 3-game losing streak but are just 5-12 ATS on the season including only 2-8 ATS at home. The Cavaliers are 31-14-2 ATS in their last 47 road games but just 4-9-1 ATS against teams with winning home records and Duke is 6-4 SU as hosts. Also, the road team is 21-6-1 ATS in the last 28 meetings. Take DUKE!

Florida State at Pittsburgh 4:00 ET

Panthers (+) over Seminoles- This one might be a tough one to swallow after seeing the Seminoles dismantle No. 7 Virginia 81-60 as they have now won 24 consecutive games at home. But, here comes the rub as Florida State has played only three road games with only one victory. Pittsburgh on the other hand after a decent start has dropped 6-of-7 but are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games as underdogs and the dog is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings and the home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take PITTSBURGH!

Notre Dame at Syracuse 2:00 ET

Fighting Irish (+) over Orange- Considering that the Orange are 10-1 SU at home the price on this one may seem awful cheap. But, when looking at who Syracuse has defeated we see that they are just 3-13 ATS in their last 16 home games against teams with losing records. Notre Dame has improved as the season moves on and is 5-0 ATS in their last five games overall and are 4-0 ATS as road underdogs. Add that the road team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. The Irish have won their last two and 4-of-5 and their only loss was to Georgia Tech after blowing a 17-point lead. Take NOTRE DAME!

Texas Tech at Kansas 2:00 ET

Red Raiders (+) over Jayhawks- The 'number' tells the tale in this matchup as the Jayhawks who are 10-1 SU at home come up favored by less than a bucker over the Red Raiders. Kansas has a four game winning streak but upon close examination you will see that three of those wins came over Iowa State and Kansas State who have one Big-12 win between them. Texas Tech is chomping at the bit as they have had 11 days off and have one of the best defenses in the country allowing just 62.7 points per game and are 4-1 ATS as road underdogs while the Jayhawks are 1-4 ATS against teams with winning records and are just 1-6 ATS in their last seven Saturday games. Also note that the road team is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take TEXAS TECH!

Connecticut at Villanova 1:00 ET

Huskies (+) over Wildcats- Villanova is coming off their worst defeat of the season losing to Creighton 86-70 as they allowed the Blue jays to shoot 59.3% from the field. Connecticut meanwhile has won two in a row with the return of stellar guard James Bouknight who is considered one of the top guards in the country as he helps balance the Huskies rebounding abilities. U Conn was 4-4 in his absence and are 6-1 SU when he plays and they are 8-1 ATS in their last nine road games against teams with winning records and 10-3 ATS overall. The Wildcats have 'burnt' money as favorites going 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games as home favorites. Thew road team is 7-1-1 ATS in the last nine meetings and the underdog is 6-2-1 ATS in the last nine meets. Take CONNECTICUT!

Colorado at Oregon 11:00 ET

Buffaloes (+) over Ducks- No. 25 have won three straight after going a month without a victory due to games being cancelled as they play only two games and lost them both between Jan. 7 and Feb 6. Colorado won the first meeting 79-72 in Boulder when the Ducks were ranked No. 17 but are off a 71-62 loss to California a team that the defeated by 29 points in their first meeting. The Buffaloes are 4-1 ATS after a straight-up loss but haven't been a money maker on the road and are 17-43 ATS in their last 60 away games. Oregon is 1-4 ATS in their last five home games and fall short here. Take COLORADO!

Ohio State at Penn State 8:00 ET

Nittany Lions (+) over Buckeyes- Ohio State has won six straight and are seeking a No. 1 seed and a win here over Penn State who they defeated as part of their run 83-79 on January 27 would help their plight. The 'price' here seems a bit low when one considers that the Lions have lost their last two and three of four including falling to lowly Nebraska who had lost 25 consecutive Big Ten games. I'm sure the 'action' will be heavy on the Buckeyes and I will play against it. Take PENN STATE!

Iowa at Wisconsin 7:00 ET

Badgers over Hawkeyes- No. 14 Iowa destroyed Michigan State by 30-points raining down 13 3-point shots last time out for their second straight win after having lost four of five. Wisconsin who have alternated wins and losses their past eight games are off a loss to Michigan after having a 12-point half-time lead. The Badgers are 10-1-2 ATS in their last 13 games after a straight-up loss. Iowa is 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games and are 19-40 ATS on the road against teams with winning percentage of .600 or better. Take WISCONSIN!

Minnesota at Indiana 9:00 ET

Golden Gophers (+) over Hoosiers- How about them Gophers it seems that the burro themselves when ever the play on the road going 0-7 and 1-6 ATS with six of those losses by double digits. Indiana on the other hand Indiana is only 5-4 SU at home and 4-5 ATS and 1-4 ATS as home favorites. One good thing you can say about Minnesota is that they are 6-2 ATS after a straight up loss. The other good thing is the underdogs is 15-6 ATS in the last 21 meetings.Take MINNESOTA

N.C. State at Pittsburgh 7:00 ET

Wolfpack (+) over Panthers- Both of these of these clubs are struggling of late as Pittsburgh has lost five of their last six while the Wolfpack have dropped four of their last five as well. One positive thing to say about NC state is that they are 13-6-1 ATS after a double-digit loss at home while the Panthers are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as home favorites. Take NC STATE!

Xavier at St. John's 8:30 ET

Musketeers (+) over Red Storm- Both Clubs had winning streak end last time out as St. John's six game winning streak was stopped as lost they in overtime to Butler and Xavier had their three game streak ended by Connecticut at home 80-72. The Musketeers have defeated St. John's 12 straight times and are 7-2 ATS in their last nine road games. The beat goes on here as the Musketeers once again get the best of the Red Storm. Take XAVIER!

Michigan State at Purdue 7:00 ET

Spartans (+) over Boilermakers- Michigan State just incurred their worst loss in the Tom Izzo era losing by 30-points 88-58 at home to Iowa and the once No. 6 ranked Spartans are now just 10-8 on the season. Purdue has split their last six games losing at Minnesota 71-68 last time out. The Spartans run of poor play against the 'number' has been going on for a while as they are just 8-20 ATS in their last 28 games overall while the Boilermakers are only 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight home games. Take MICHIGAN STATE!

Temple at Tulsa 8:00 ET

Owls (+) over Golden Hurricane- These two clubs have gone south of late as Temple has dropped four in-a-row, three of which were by 3-points or less and Tulsa hasn't been much better dropping their last three games and have won just once in their last six games. Although the Owls have struggled they are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games and the underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take TEMPLE!

Florida at Arkansas 7:00 ET

Gators (+) over Razorbacks- This Florida team should be ready to go as they haven't played a game in 13 days and haven't won a game since jan. 30 at West Virginia and lost at home to South Carolina. Prior to that loss the Gators and had won four straight and now face Arkansas who defeated Missouri last time out in overtime and perhaps played their best games of the year. I expect a little let down here after that huge victory their first win over a Top-10 team in five years. The Razorbacks have won three straight and 6-of-7 and are 12-1 SU at home. Florida is 4-1 ATS against teams with winning records and they will be 'up' for this game. Take FLORIDA!

Minnesota at Maryland 7:00 ET

Golden Gophers (+) over Terrapins- Maryland has three wins over ranked teams including a 63-49 victory over these same Golden Gophers at Minnesota. To win here seems an improbable task as Minnesota is 0-6 straight-up on the road getting their first road 'cover' (+5.5) 72-76 last time out at Rutgers. On the other side of the coin Maryland is 0-7 ATS in their last seven home games and the underdogs is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take MINNESOTA!

Marquette at Seton Hall 3:00 ET

Pirates (-) over Golden Eagles- These two Big East clubs are moving in opposite directions as Marquette has dropped five of their last six while the Pirates have won two in-a-row after losing three straight to ranked teams including a pair of single digit losses to Villanova. Not only are the Golden Eagles 0-5 ATS in their last five road games but they 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games as well. The Hall is 4-1 ATS in their last five games as favorites and 27-13 ATS after a SU win. Take SETON HALL!

Michigan at Wisconsin 1:00 ET

Badgers (+) over Wolverines- Michigan has been down (not playing) 23 days now and had to cancel a scheduled meeting against No.6 Illinois Thursday but now must face three straight ranked opponents in No. 21 Wisconsin, No. 25 Rutgers and No. 4 Ohio State next Sunday. Michigan won the first meeting this season destroying the Badgers 77-54 where the Wolverines had an amazing 43-6 run between halves. Wisconsin is 11-2 SU at home and will be looking to return the favor of their beating at Michigan. Badgers are 5-2 ATS as favorites and the Wolves are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as underdogs. Take WISCONSIN!

Utah at Stanford 10:00 ET

Cardinal (-) over Utes- Utah has had the best of the Cardinal of late winning five of the last six meetings including a 79-65 home win in mid January. Stanford was just pasted by Colorado at home as they play their third straight as hosts. The Utes haven't been so hot on the road going 5-12 in their last 17 road games overall and 4-9 ATS as road dogs. I'll close with the home team being 9-1-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take STANFORD!

Arkansas at Missouri 4:00 ET

Razorbacks (+) over Tigers- These college basketball polls can be very confusing as teams from different power conferences with virtually the same overall records will have one team ranked in the Top-5 and the another club with a record like Arkansas (15-5) will not even be ranked in the Top-25. The Razorbacks have won five straight and are looking to avenge an earlier 81-68 home loss to Missouri. The Tigers are ranked No. 10 and off a loss to Mississippi and they are 6-2 ATS after a SU loss but the underdog is 13-6 ATS in the last 19 meetings. Take ARKANSAS!

Iowa at Michigan State 2:30 ET

Spartans (+) over Hawkeyes- Oh man, what is the deal with the Hawkeyes I mean if the eyes were like Hawks they would be able to stop opponents from scoring which they haven't figured out yet. After losing 4-of-5 Iowa got 'right' with an easy 79-66 win over Rutgers earning their first cover in six games. What can be said about Michigan State as the lose even when winning. The Spartans are a horrid 4-13 ATS on the season while the overrated Hawkeyes have the nation's No. 3 offense but alas they also have the No. 274 ranked defense. Take MICHIGAN STATE!

TCU at Texas 2:00 ET

Longhorns (-) over Horned Frogs- No. 13 Texas must be feeling good about themselves after hitting six straight free throws in the final 20-seconds to end a 3-game losing streak defeating weak Kansas State 80-79 but escaping like that against a much inferior teams gives one life. TCU had 51 rebounds in their win over Iowa State winning two straight conference games for the first time this season but are 1-4 ATS after a SU win.Longhorns are 0-6 ATS in their last six overall and yet bare a double-digit favorite over a TCU club that is 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games. Take TEXAS!

Tennessee at LSU 2:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Volunteers- LSU had dropped two straight and 4-of-5 before winning at Mississippi State 94-80 on Wednesday while No. 15 Tennessee routed Georgia leading by 23 points in the second half before getting sloppy at the end. The Tigers' Daruis Day was back on the court grabbing 11 rebounds and 16 points after returning from an ankle sprain and LSU coach Will Wade says that his return means all the difference in his club. The home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and the underdog is 18-6 ATS in the last 24 meetings. Take LSU!

Georgia Tech at Clemson 8:00 ET

Yellow Jackets (+) over Tigers- The Yellow Jackets have alternated losses and wins the last six times out and it's scheduled for a win over Clemson after they were outclassed by Virginia shooting just 36% having their 11-game ACC home winning streak ending. Clemson must be thinking of their trip to Atlanta when Tech destroyed the Tigers 83-65 shooting 59% for the game while the Tigers shot 53% themselves but were out rebounded 26-18 Take GEORGIA TECH!

Utah at California 6:00 ET

Golden Bears (+) over Utes- Neither of these Pac-12 clubs will impress you of viewing their play as Utah is 8-7 on the season and just 2-4 on the road while California is just 7-14 SU this season but 5-5 at home. The Bears upset the Utes in Salt Lake 72-63 as they came back from a 12-point halftime deficit as they have won the last two meetings. Utah is just 5-11 ATS in their last 11 road games while Cal is 14-5 ATS in their last 19 home games. Take CALIFORNIA!

Chip's SEC Power Play Winner

Missouri at Mississippi 9:00 ET

Rebels over Tigers- No.10 Missouri has moved up eight stops in the polls as they defeated Alabama 68-65 on Saturday as 'our' Money Game winner while Mississippi has posted consecutive 2-point wins over Auburn and Tennessee. The surprise here is that the Rebels are favored here but Missouri is just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 as road underdogs and the favorite is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Take MISSISSIPPI!

Rutgers at Iowa 7:30 ET

Scarlet Knights (+) over Hawkeyes- No. 16 Iowa has lost four-of-five and have fallen out of the Top-10 going 0-5 ATS. The Hawkeyes have been hampered without CJ Fredrick who hasn't been healthy the last two weeks. Rutgers has been streaky winning early and then hitting a lull losing five straight but have since won their last four. Iowa is tough at home going 19-5-2 ATS in their last 26 home games as hosts while the Knights are 21-9-1 ATS against teams with winning records and the dog is 7-0-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take RUTGERS!

Wichita State at Central Florida 5:30 ET

Knights (+) over Shockers- Considering the records of these two teams the 'line' on this matchup seems a bit short as Wichita State is 7-2 in AAC play and 11-4 SU overall while Central Florida is just 3-8 in AAC action and 5-9 overall. The Shockers took the first meeting on Jan. 30, 93-88 but had to go overtime to do it and have gone 8-2 straight-up in their last 10 games but are 0-4 ATS I their last four overall. UCF is 5-2 ATS in their last seven home games and the underdog is 5-1 in the last six meetings. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA!

Virginia at Georgia Tech 7:00 ET

Yellow Jackets (+) over Cavaliers- No. 9 Virginia have won 9-of-10 including a 64-62 home win over Georgia Tech back on Jan. 30 but are just 2-6-1 ATS against teams with winning records and 3-8-2 ATS on the road against winnings teams. Georgia Tech has been good to 'us' as they are 5-0 ATS in their last five games as home underdogs and play well against the better teams going 50-24 ATS in their last 74 games against teams with winning percentages about .600. Take YELLOW JACKETS!

St. John's at Butler 9:00 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Reed Storm- When you're hot you're hot and the Red Storm are 'White-hot' with six straight wins and eight straight 'covers.' After defeating Marquette and Villanova I expected a St. John's letdown but they stormed past the Friars 92-81 at Providence and but now face a below average Butler team and a meager favorite on the road. Butler has been very disappointing this season but have won five of eight home games and the home team is 11-1 ATS in the last 12 meeting is this series. Take BUTLER!

West Virginia at Texas Tech 9:00 ET

Red Raiders (-) over mountaineers- If this is the same West Virginia that we have been chirping about its because basketball like football has them playing well and winning at home and going on the road and getting wasted. Texas Tech has won their last three SU but have been a nightmare ATS as they are 2-8 ATS after a SU win and 0-8 ATS in their r last eight home games. But, like I said the Mountaineers are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 road games and 1-5 ATS after a win Add that the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings gives me...TEXAS TECH!

Penn State at Michigan State 7:00 ET

Nittany Lions (+) over Spartans- What a year for Michigan State! To start with their gridiron 11 were one of their worst editions in decades and their basketball team was ranked as high as No. 6 before the hitting the skids losing seven of their last nine going 2-7 ATS. Penn State was off to a slow start but the Lions have roared some by beating Wisconsin and Maryland Friday night in their last two home games. MSU is 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games overall and the road team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Take PENN STATE!

Syracuse at N.C State 6:30 ET

Orange (+) over Wolfpack- If things swing 'right' Syracuse should bounce back from a terrible road outing at Clemson (they are 0-4 ATS on the road) Saturday, while the Wolfpack were pounding the Eagles 81-65 at Boston College. NC State broke out to a 37-8 lead win winning for just the second time in eight games and are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four home games and the roads team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings...take SYRACUSE!

Alabama at South Carolina 6:30 ET

Gamecocks (+) over Crimson Tide- Alabama fell at Missouri (Money game) Saturday as we predicted and South Carolina was beaten by Mississippi State as our Power Play winner posting two of 'our' four (4-1) wins for Saturday. I like when I can see a pattern within conferences and the Tide trailed by 22 points at one point and closed strong before losing 68-65 (They are good). The Gamecocks have shown that they are capable by defeating Florida in Gainesville and they are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games after an ATS loss. The road team and the underdogs are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take SOUTH CAROLINA!

Oklahoma State at Kansas 9:00 ET

Jayhawks (-) over Cowboys- 'We' had out Megabucks winner with OSU on Saturday over Texas while our only loss (4-1 ATS on Saturday) was with Kansas against West Virginia. That was the Jayhawks fifth loss in their last seven games and their fourth straight loss against ranked opponents and their fifth straight road loss. But, the Jayhawks did defeat the Cowboys at their place 75-70 four weeks ago. The Cowboys were a 2OT win over Texas and are 2-6-1 ATS after a SU win and the home team is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take KANSAS!

Ohio State at Maryland 9:00 ET

Terrapins (+) over Buckeyes- Ohio State has moved up to No. 7 with four straight Big Ten victories including road wins at Wisconsin and Iowa on Thursday. Maryland is coming off their worst game of the season had they had their lowest point output with 50 while having only six assists and 16 turnovers. The Buckeyes have won seven of their last eight SU and are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games as favorites and the Terps are just 1-6-2 ATS in their last nine games as home underdogs and are 0-6 ATS in their last six home games overall. But, the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings...take MARYLAND

Georgetown at Villanova 2:30 ET

Wildcats (-) over Hoyas- The first time these two met earlier back in December 'we' posted the Hoyas (12.5) and they held a 46-28 lead and collapsed after that losing 76-63. This time around Villanova is off a loss to St. John's while Georgetown has won two straight and they are 2-8 ATS following a straight-up win. The Wildcats are 34-16-1 ATS after a SU loss and the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take VILLANOVA!

Iowa at Indiana 12:00 ET

Hoosiers (+) over Hawkeyes- It's hard to believe that this Iowa team has five losses three of which have come in the last four games falling to these Hoosiers at home and at Illinois and Thursday falling to Ohio State at home. What makes this so surprising is that they are No. 2 in the nation in scoring at 89.1PPG. Indiana started the Hawks on their downward trend and they will ad on to it today. The Hoosiers have lost two straight the last on OT loss to Illinois. Iowa is 13-3 ATS after SU loss while the Hoosiers are 9-3 ATS after a SU loss. Take INDIANA!

Iowa at Indiana 12:00 ET

Hoosiers (+) over Hawkeyes- It's hard to believe that this Iowa team has five losses three of which have come in the last four games falling to these Hoosiers at home and at Illinois and Thursday falling to Ohio State at home. What makes this so surprising is that they are No. 2 in the nation in scoring at 89.1PPG. Indiana started the Hawks on their downward trend and they will add on to it today. The Hoosiers have lost two straight the last on OT loss to Illinois. Iowa is 13-3 ATS after SU loss while the Hoosiers are 9-3 ATS after a SU loss. Take INDIANA!

North Carolina at Duke 6:00 ET

Tar Heels (+ 6) over Blue Devils- I just don't think the Blue Devils are good enough and I believe coach K believes the same thing. Tough yo see Duke and Kentucky fall so fast and so hard while the Tar Heels have suffered a bit themselves it's not like the others. There will be no 'Cameron Crazies' in attendance as they meet unranked for the first time since 1960. Carolina has a chance but I don't think the Blue Devils even make the tourney. Take NORTH CAROLINA!

Mississippi State at South Carolina 3:30 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Gamecocks- I love the way this game sets up and just hope it works the way I think it should. MSU is off a horrid performance against Arkansas committing 26 turnovers the most ever during Ben Howland's tenure losing their fourth straight SEC game. Meanwhile South Carolina was having their best game of the season defeating Florida 72-66 in Gainesville. These two clubs both swing back to the center and the Bulldogs get the win. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE!

Texas at Oklahoma State 3:30 ET

Cowboys (+) over Longhorns- Here comes No. 6 Texas! But who are they exactly? The Longhorns fortunes have taken a turn as they have lost three of their last four including a loss last time out against No. 2 Baylor 83-69 as they wilted when it counted most. Oklahoma State lost at TCU in the same fashion as they couldn't make the plays down the stretch.Horns won the first meeting a 77-74 non-cover win but the Cowboys are capable having posted wins over Texas Tech, Kansas and Arkansas. Best of all OSU is 8-0 ATS after a SU loss. Take OKLAHOMA STATE!

Kansas at West Virginia 2:00 ET

Jayhawks (+) over Mountaineers- This is the second meeting between these two as the Jayhawks (-2) won easily 79-65 back in December as that continues the trend where the home team is 15-5-1 ATS in the last 21 meetings. There is an anomaly in the trends as Kansas has lost their last four road games and yet are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 road games overall. They have six losses with four coming against Top-10 teams. West Virginia and Bob Huggins have built their fortunes on defense and they just don't play it as well this season. Take KANSAS!
