This has been a difficult rebuilding season for UC Irvine and they are currently on a 5 game losing streak playing their 5th straight game away from home, so needless to say this team is exhausted  physically and emotionally drained  to say the least. Now they must face a Idaho team playing in their own back yard, that has won 8 of their L/10 games, (with both losses coming vs CS Bakersfield). My own line suggests that a 7.5 point chalk line should more appropriate, and a outliner  via my own power rankings that estimates a win by as much as 12 points for Idaho has me firmly backing them in this spot.

UC-IRVINE is 9-20 ATS  L/29  in road games when playing against a team with a winning record and is 0-6 ATS   in road games versus excellent teams - shooting 45% or better with a defense of 42% or less and is 3-11 ATS L/14 versus very good teams - outscoring their opponents by 8+ points/game.

Tonight on the one hand we have a loaded South Dakota State side, that has one of the top mid major players in the nation ( Mike Daum) leading the way for a solid core of offensive minded players. This team is always a solid underdog because they can light the scoreboard up in a hurry and are never really out of it vs a side still on a learning curve like their opponents the Buffalos.

Meanwhile, Tad Boyles young inexperienced Colorado Buffs are off two straight losses and showing their lack of cohesiveness.

According to my own numbers Fresno State should only be a 5 point favorite here vs Weber State a team that according to my own cross reference power rankings and system/players matchups is vastly under rated in this spot. Weber State previous to season played old school big man basketball, a sort of power game with a couple big guys up front, but this year HC Randy Rahe has changed things up, with mixed results going 4-2 and showing some offensive explosiveness along the way averaging 81.5 ppg while allowing just 61.8 ppg. Rahe now has four guys that can spread things out which makes them dangerous. I know Fresno State and HC Rodney Terry must be respected but this line is a little bloated. Terrys group has a good core of players, and good guard play, but are weak up front in my humble opinion are vulnerable against a side like Weber State.

FRESNO ST last 8 games versus very good defensive teams - shooting pct defense of 39% or better has seen the average score registered : Fresno State 70.3 Opposition 67.1 ... which is indicative of my own line settings gives us value with Weber State taking points.

Washington State enters this game on a 5 game winning streak, and are jelling much faster than many of expected. Now they are being made DD underdogs vs what my own numbers is a  SD State team that is not all that much more superior to their own group. New HC Brian Dutcher, despite of being a assistant here for years, has put his own signature on this team, by trying to address an anemic offense. There has been more flow from his side, but in their only really tough game vs Arizona State they score jus t68 points. Today I'm betting that  their lack of offensive acumen will be their downfall.

Texas A&M also has size, which will negate the Trojans ability to go small with a group of talented guards. Last season when these teams met USC took a closely contested 65-63 win.

TEXAS A&M is 44-27 ATS L/71 versus up-tempo teams averaging 62 or more shots/game. USC  H C Enfield is 7-16 ATS  L/23 when playing against a top-level team (Win Pct. 80% or better).

PK 80 INVITATIONAL - Final Rnd - Veterans Memorial Coliseum - Portland, OR

Portland state plays a fast paced full court system, and will be a tough out for Stanford. The Vikings are deep and use a fast and furious 9 -10 man rotation.  Yes, their still rebuilding towards bigger and better things but still vastly under rated. Meanwhile, HC Haase still deals with a part of a group that were not his recruits, and may still not be meshing as a group as fast as their coach had hoped as is evident by very average at best play this season, having lost 4 of their L/5 overall.

STANFORD is 1-8 ATS  L/9 in road games when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 80%).PORTLAND ST is 9-1 ATS  L/10 in road games after playing 2 consecutive games as an underdog.PORTLAND ST is 13-4 ATS  L/17 as an underdog.PORTLAND ST is 11-2 ATS   when the total is 160 plus over.

PK 80 INVITATIONAL - Final Rnd - Moda Center - Portland, OR

Two of the greatest all time  coaches in college basketball history will go head to head tonight in the championship game of one of the biggest college basketball tournaments ever Sunday when No. 4 Michigan State faces ninth-ranked North Carolina in the championship game of the Victory bracket of the Phil Knight 80 Invitational.

This will be a hard fought matchup, but in the end, it will come down to charity stripe conversion rates. My own cross reference players rankings suggest the Heels are the better overall team at the line when the chips are down.  Mich State HC Izzo is  just 3-11 ATS  in his career vs. excellent free throw shooting teams - making  77% or more  of their shots.

These teams last met in 2013 when the Tar Heels dominated then-No. 1 Michigan State 79-65. Rinse  and repeat here today.

GREAT ALASKA SHOOTOUT - Final Rnd - Alaska Airlines Center - Anchorage, AK

Central Mich lost two of its top contributors offensively from last season, but the replacements and supporting cast are even better. Central Mich was picked to finish 11th last season, and did much better than the prognosticators thought, and this years version is even better. The Roadrunner's lost 4 of their top 5 scorers' from last season, and despite of being dangerous are still over rated as they must contend with  chemistry issues. With that said, take the points with Central Michigan.

C MICHIGAN is 8-1 ATS   after allowing 60 points or less over the last few seasons.

CBB Underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points lime Central Mich - good offensive team from last season - scored 77 or more points/game are 91-45 ATS L/5 seasons for a 67% conversion rate for bettors.

HC Callero and company are on my watch list of up trending teams. Since making the NCAA tournament in 2014 everything has gone down hill for this program, thanks to key injuries whsihc resulted in shooting issues last season. Now healthy and ready to move in the right direction again this group may surprise some pundits this season, and tonight I won't be surprised if they win vs Idaho SU.

Hofstra has depth with their perimeter shooting, and are working hard on getting their defense on par with their offense. They are off two consecutive games vs a top tier opponents Clemson and Auburn, and played very well in their last game vs a offensive minded Auburn side. Tonight against a Siena  program that lost 4 of their top 5 sorcerers from last season, the Pride have an edge and from a defensive perspective as they face a group that has looked unbalanced this season, allowing 86,91, 115 points in their L/3games all losses.

Hofstra is the type of team that can take advantage of  this kind of porous defence, and have a edge here in a line I have set at closer to 6.5 to 7 points favoring Hofstra.

HOFSTRA is 10-2 ATS L/12  in road games after failing to cover 2 of their last 3 against the spread

Nevada is picking off where they left off last season, and proving that they are the front runners for the Mountain West Conference and another NCAA tournament invite.

PK 80 INVITATIONAL - Round 2 - Moda Center - Portland, OR

The first ranked matchup of the Phil Knight Invitational comes between No. 7 Florida and No. 17 Gonzaga in the second round of the "Motion" bracket of the Phil Knight 80 Invitational on Friday. It's never easy for a east coast team to play out west, especially a team that resides in this part of the country. After watching Gonzaga (4-0) cruise in  their its first-round game, and easily defeating Ohio State 86-59 its has become obvious to me that they are going to be a force to be reckoned with again this season, despite of the new faces.
Gonzaga, has  six players are averaging double figures and it will be their versatile depth that will be the difference maker here tonight.

GONZAGA is 8-1 ATS L/9 versus very good shooting teams - making  48% or more  of their shots.

EMERALD COAST CLASSIC - Semifinals - The Arena at NW FL ST - Niceville, FL

New Mexico snagged the coach of New Mexico State in the off season Paul Weir. In his lone season a coach, he took the Aggies to the NCAA Tournament and procured a 28-6 record on the season. Weir has an unproven roster, and they are a wait and see type of program at the moment, but tonight on a neutral court I believe they run and gun Lobos are being underestimated  in their ability to cover vs a TCU side, that according to my own power rankings should be a 10 point favorite at most .

TCU is 2-9 ATS  L/11  vs. good free throw shooting teams - making 72% more of  their attempts. NEW MEXICO is 35-19 ATS  L/54  in road games when playing against a top-level team (Win Pct. > 80%).TCU is 4-13 ATS  L/17 after playing 2 consecutive home games and 14-28 ATS L/42  in road games after 3 or more consecutive wins .

Winthrop is a spoiler type team that finished 71st in RPI last season and made it the NCAA tournament.  With a key player like Cooks in their lineup, this program will once again challenge for the Big South championship. Meanwhile, Auburn under Bruce Pearl remains a entertaining team, without actually making a run in post season play . The Tigers have talent, but the problem seems to be  staying focused in the defensive end . That I'm betting will be their downfall tonight vs a feisty side.

UNC Wilmington under new head coach  McGrath  and former assistant at North Carolina ( national champs) after mentoring under Roy Williams, brings instant creditability to this up trending side, that made it to the NCAA tourney last year. He changed up the Seahawks style of play but I'm pretty sure they will remain competitive in the Colonial. As far as today goes, their opponents Loyola Chicago are team with a good starting 5 , but lack depth , something Wilmington has. With that said, I'm recommending we take the points.

Rider is a team with a lot of size and despite of losing key scorers from last season remain a dangerous side behind a solid D, that plays differently than a lot of teams in the MAAC where they reside. UC Irvine plays a hard defensive type of basketball, but this Rider team is tough under glass and in the paint, and will over power UC Irvine . Note:  Cal Irvines HC Turner is 14-30 ATS  versus good rebounding teams - outrebounding opponents by 4+ per game.

 Miami O under a new head coach former assistant at Purdue Jack Owens isa side I'm going to keep an eye on going forward. Just like his mentor at Purdue (Painter) hard work and top tier defense first basketball will be the name of the game. There are some decent hardworking seniors on board, and versatile group that is hard working blue collar types. Their a feisty crew and here as underdogs have merits that I can back on a DD underdog line. Meanwhile, Tulane -was a 6 win team last season, and played to that level, they are improving, but I'm not buying this 11 point line the odds makers have placed on this tilt.

Davidson after depending way to much on two key players last season, had a down campaign, but with recruiting remaining strong, they should be more versatile and explosive this season, as was evident in their first two games when they  scoried 108 and 110 points.

Samford has 6 talented guards and must not be underestimated, after showing us their tenacity last season with a 20 win campaign. I'm betting they will have three point guards on the floor this afternoon and go small, which will give Wis Milwaukkee some problems. If they have to go big, they can do that also with the like s of 6'5 Denzel-Dyson and Cunningham at the post. A new head coach in Wis Milwaukee  has many wondering how this program will form going forward with Baldwin at the helm, he inherits a side that finished last in the Horizon league standings last season  that has hands full with the cupboard fairly empty.   I'm not sold on this team doing much this season and as far as being favs today, I expect they will be lucky to come out of this game with a win , little lone a cover.

Kings Rice's Monmouth group have been a tremendous MAAC program over the L/4 seasons. they have captured back to back 20 wins seasons and captured a reg season league championship.  Yes, they no longer have 6 returning starters but the recruiting class is strong, especially on offense, and can  finally get this team over the hump and into the NCAA tourney. Meanwhile, Virginia, a side known for their stifling defense, is still a strong team despite of new faces, and some unknowns, but this line according to my own early season numbers is a little bloated, and based somewhat on their pedigree rather than the product on the floor.

Gonzaga was  a few possessions away from a national championship last season,  and enter this game as big favs as they should be. The group while going through some changes, will still be hugely talented as  HC Few is known to be a master recruiter. From a depth perspective, their maybe deficiencies, but as long as Gonzaga's core stays healthy they should be dominant again. Meanwhile, Utah State remains a strong offensive team, leading the conference FG %, last season, but at the same time their are defensive short comings which were also  obvious to, and  I don't think were addressed over the summer. With that said, Gonzaga may not be the juggernaut they were last season, but their still a force to be reckoned with, and must respected as 8 possession/conversion rate favorite vs this type of team.

Meanwhile, Nevada, the Mountain West reg season champs, enter this game with a big time reputation under HC Musselman, but the caveat here comes via their off season losses, which made up a bulk of their offense. Yes, the Pack have looked good in their first three games, but laying this much lumber on the road , vs a feisty/crafty Pacific group still makes them fade material according to my own numbers. Note: Pacific lost 89-80 to Stanford a quality PAC 12 program, and have the ability to stay within the number here again tonight.
