Delaware has a very talented recruiting class, that will get better as the season progresses. One key cog is Anderson, who never lost a regular season or district game during his high school career at St. John Neumann. This kids a winner, and a floor general and brings a attitude to this team that is hard to come by. Yes, he is coming off a season ending injury last season, but he's fresher than ever and a real treat to watch.The team is off to a 5-2 start this season and Anderson is certainly doing his part. He currently leads the Blue Hens with 29 assists and nine steals while ranking second by averaging 13.4 points and 5.9 rebounds per game. Look for him to lead te way today vs anover match Eastern Shore program.

The Riverside,Highlanders   prepare to host  a dangerous opponent (California Baptist University) (CBU) in the Crosstown Showdown. The Lancers are in the midst of their inaugural season at the NCAA DI level and hungry to compete and will be sky high here and very prepared to take down a team that plays in their own back yard.CBU comes into Thursday's matchup with an overall record of 2-4 SU as the Lancers have dropped four straight after opening up the season 2-0. Nearly all of the team's games have been close losing by three points or less to both Tulsa and Howard, and falling to Arkansas Pin Bluff in Triple OT.The Highlanders  are primo from  downtown this season as their .350 3pt shooting percentage ranks 3rd in the Big West and eight different  players have hit from the land of the trey. Their 3pt defence also ranks 3rd allowing opponents to shoot just .276. That will be the difference maker her tonight.

UAB (4-2) will be carrying some momentum into the Rocket City after defeating Canisius, 68-58, to close out the AdvoCare Invitational in Orlando. The Blazers have relied on their defense to keep opponents down which ranks 71st in the NCAA and 4th in C-USA in scoring defense, allowing just 65.8 points per game. Additionally, the Blazers rank 56th in the nation in turnovers forced (16.67) and 64th in steals per game (8.2).Rebounding has been another big time component of the team's game, out-rebounding its opponents by a margin of 6.5, good for 61st in the NCAA. The Blazers have also been good on the offensive glass with 15.0 boards per contest, ranked 31st nationally and Im betting this will be key difference maker tonight. Note> The Blazers are a over powering 11-0 all-time against the Alabama A&M  Bulldogs, with the last meeting coming last season, a 90-58 victory for UAB, in the BHM Jam.

Dartmouth (3-3) l is a  up-tempo team, while Marist (1-4) plays a more physical slow down brand of hoops. Dartmouth can launch threes and score in bunches, but the Foxes are not easily scored on, and behind one of the lowest paces in all of college hoops and mess with the flow of a team like Big Green. Despite of the Foxes negative record they must be respected as three of those losses were by single-digits .  It must also be mentioned that  pundits believe this will be a mid to upper tier team Marist  this year and they get my support here today.

My own projections make Kentucky 29+ point favourites vs 0-7  Monmouth, thus giving us value with laying 24 points here . Monmouth have lost 6 of their 7 games this season, by DDs, and are very over matched according to my power rankings, with a less than 40% chances for a cover. HC Calipari of the Wildcats has also made sure his team is not overlooking their opponents tonight. QUOTE:“They have nothing to lose,” Calipari said of a Monmouth team who played a close game with West Virginia just a few weeks ago. “They play fast; they play around their post player.” END QUOTE:Calipari went on to say if the Cats don’t play defense, Monmouth could beat them. 

The HC has been pretty livid about the Wildcats lack of D, lately and wants them to step up. Look for a complete performance and a cover by Kentucky.

Arizona 3-0 is undergoing a massive roster overhaul and is unranked in the AP preseason poll for the first time since 2010-11, but underestimating their talent levels is not something I care to do, as this class is still chalk loaded full of top tier players.UA  admittedly does have a  lack of depth up front, but  has a great deal of versatility and  are quicker defensively via a smaller sized group. Iowa State also 3-0 should also be better this season , but are currently short handed  playing without four potential rotation players, including preseason all-Big 12 guard Lindell Wigginton,  .

Yes, their are new faces in the lineup but they have all been recruited to play Rick Byrds system, and Im betting they will do just fine.

Kent according to my power rankings is the superior team here today  vs Cleveland State and my projections make them a 7 point favorite, thus giving us value on this cheaper than expected line.

The incoming class is highlighted by two freshmen in Anthony Roberts and DeAndre Gholston. Roberts is a Highly talented freshman that scored 22.0 ppg, 6.0 rpg at Detroit Henry Ford HS, while Gholston is a wing player that averaged 22.0 ppg and 6.0 rpg at 21st Century Charter.

HC Pasternack’s in his  first season at USC Santa Barbara turned this team around in a big way, going from 6-22 in 2017 to 23-9 last season, a minor miracle.  But with 4 of 5 starters gone I'm betting things wont be as smooth this season. Yes key starter guard Max Heidegger is back but his supporting cast is not on his level, and well coached teams like the Pokes will be to center on him, which slow the Gauchos attack down. Meanwhile, Wyoming an explosive uptempo team behind  senior guard Justin. James  who was a First Team All-Mountain West selection last season averaging 18.9 points per game to be to much for the visitors to handle  as this game progresses.

Note: Both of these teams travelled in preseason.   Kentucky went to the Bahamas, Duke went to Canada. Overall Kentucky played the better teams and should be battle tested, while the Blue Devils will not be after playing lower tier Canuck hoops teams.

Both Kentucky and Duke are full of 5 star recruits. But what sets these teams apart here at the beginning of this season  is not the talent base, but  it  the experience level, where Kentucky holds the edge. The Cats will have two starters in the lineup from last season, while Duke has 4 new top tier kids in the lineup that will likely bolt to the NBA after this season including RJ Barrett, Cam Reddish, and Zion Williamson. I'm betting Duke will take some time to jell, while Kentucky will find chemistry early.

NCAA Tournament - Championship Game - Alamodome - San Antonio, TX

Its been said for a long time , that defense wins championships and I'm a proponent of this convectional thinking in general terms, especially in a game like this where I'm getting points with the better defensive side (Michigan). Villanova is strong two way team, that shines because of their experience and ability to play different styles of ball. The Cats key strength however, is their top ranked offense. Meanwhile, Michigan despite showing their ability to explosively offensive, scoring 95 and 99 points in 2 of their last 3 wins to get here, are a physically intimidating side that can wear you down in the paint and are like hoovers around the rim, which makes them very under rated in this spot. I'm betting the Wolverines D, is the difference maker here today on the line.

MICHIGAN is 6-0 ATS L/6  when playing against a top-level team (Win Pct. 80% or better )  games this season.

 MICHIGAN is 9-1 ATS   versus teams who make 8 or more 3 point shots/game on the season this season. MICHIGAN is 22-6 ATS   versus good ball handling teams - committing 14 or less turnovers/game this season.

 The East Region’s No. 1 seed, Villanova, meets the Midwest Region’s No. 1 seed, Kansas.  The  Wildcats No.1 offense, leading the nation in scoring with 87 points a game and are converting at a 50% clip from the floor while making almost 12 three-pointers a game. They  are hoovers around the rim and  rank fourth nationally in assist-to-turnover ratio. This is needless to say a behemoth side, that deserves our respect, yes even against a solid Kansas side. The wildcats can also play great D, when they need to and I expect that will be the difference here today behind big men ,  Spellman and Eric Paschall.

It must also be noted that getting up the same emotion that they displayed against Duke last time out in  their Ot win to advance to the Final 4 will also effect them. Playing at that level again will be a super human feat, and despite of the Jayhawks sometimes amazing gold like performances, this wont be the case in this emotional letdown scenario.

Bill Selfs Kansas has not done all that well from a ATS perspective versus teams who attempt 21 or more 3 point shots/game on  the season, going just 46-60 ATS.

VILLANOVA is 12-4 ATS L/18 versus very good teams - outscoring their opponents by 8+ points/game this season.VILLANOVA is 24-9 ATS   when playing against a team with a winning record this season.

CBB Neutral court teams as a favorite or pick (VILLANOVA) - in a game involving two average defensive teams (67-74 PPG), after 3 straight wins by 10 points or more are 70-30 ATS L/21 seasons for a 70% conversion rate for bettors.

CBB Underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points (KANSAS) - in a game involving 2 very good teams - outscoring opponents by 8+ PPG in the 2nd half of the season, after allowing 75 points or more 3 straight games are 11-28 ATS L/21 seasons for a go against conversion rate of 71% for bettors.

This will be the fourth straight time I'm betting against Loyola Chicago. I was wrong the other three times, but the fourth  time I'm betting is a charm. There is a old Albert Einstein quote that comes into play here. "Doing  the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is a sign of insanity". So call me crazy, because I'm betting that Loyola Chicago will have finally met their match. Everyone loves an underdog, and I'm a big advantage player. However, with that said, the Wolverines are so much deeper and have just as much chemistry as Loyola Chicago . Lay the points here with extreme prejudice.

It must be noted that Loyola Chicago only had 4 offensive rebounds in their last game vs KState and if they didn't hit a remarkable 57% of their FG chances they would not be here. Michigan's D, and  rebounding and explosive 3 point shooting are going to be the huge difference makers here.

MICHIGAN is 7-0 ATS L/7 versus good defensive teams - allowing 64 or less   points/game after 15+ games over the last 2 seasons. MICHIGAN is 21-6 ATS  versus good ball handling teams - committing 14 or less turnovers/game this season. MICHIGAN is 9-2 ATS L/11 when playing against a top-level team (Win Pct.  80% or better) after 15 or more games. MICHIGAN is 15-4 ATS L/19  in all neutral court games.
