50* ACC TOTAL OF THE YEAR Syracuse vs. Louisville UNDER 130 I knew if this total came out somewhere in the 130's, we were going to make a big play on the under. Well, we got the 130. Both teams pride themselves on the defensive end and the stats and trends back it up. When playing a total, you always want to look at pace or tempo. How fast or slow a team or teams play is extremely important on how the game will go. Both teams want a half court style game while taking a lot of time off the shot clock. Syracuse ranks #337 and Louisville is #257 in tempo. What tempo means is how many possessions a team has in each game. These teams rank very low meaning they have less possessions, which leads to less opportunities to score the basketball. As for each team's defense, Syracuse ranks in the Top 50 in defensive efficiency, Top 25 in points allowed per game, and Top 20 in 3 point percentage. Louisville ranks 7th in points allowed per game, 8th in FG percentage, and 3rd in defensive efficiency. Clearly, these two teams have outstanding defenses. We know its very hard to solve that patented Syracuse zone but what's even more impressive is that Louisville is only allowing opponents to score 55.1 points per game at home. The under has cashed in 4 of the last 5 games for the Orange playing a team with a winning record and 13 of their last 19 vs. the ACC. The Cardinals have now gone under the total in 5 straight games and 4 straight facing a team with a winning record. The under is 21-8 in Louisville's last 29 home games and the under is also 28-11-1 coming off a loss. This team really steps up their defensive intensity off a loss. Bottomline here is that both teams really play exceptional defense when playing great teams. This game should be played at a slow pace and points should be rather tough to come by. Best of luck to us tonight and always remember to use proper money management -Don Anthony: TheBetterBettors.com

Not trying to sound like a broken record for our long term guys but we have had tremendous success this season taking the unranked home favorite over the upper ranked visitor. Duke has now covered the spread in 7 straight games at home facing a team with a winning record. UVA hasn't won at Cameron Indoor stadium since 1995! That's 16 straight losses.

We faded Louisville their last game and we're going to do it again. The ban on this team has set in and has got to have an affect on this team. They are now an awful 0-6 ATS their last 6 road games. They do have a solid defense but they're running into the #1 ranked efficient offense in the country in Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish can beat ANYONE in the country at home when their shots are falling. They are 12-1 there this year and I fully expect them to be 13-1 after tonight.

This game is a mirror image of the Indiana/Iowa game a couple nights ago. Indiana opened at -1 and climbed all the way to -3.5 before the start of the game. Indiana cashed that night with a huge boost from their home crowd. Now look at this afternoon's match. Butler opened at -1 and now its -.3.5/-4 nearly everywhere. I expect history to repeat itself. Butler is a bubble team and needs this game like blood to get into the Big Dance.

50* CBB VEGAS INSIDER Arizona -11.5 Let's start with this. It looks just way too easy to take the points with the Bruins here. The public is all over UCLA tonight with 2 out of every 3 bets on the visitors, yet this line hasn't budged or has gone up some in a few spots. Sources have confirmed several max bets on the Wildcats and one of my top CBB guys has this as his favorite Pac-12 game this year. When looking at how UCLA has faired on the road against good conference teams this season, its quite alarming. They got destroyed by Oregon, losing by 14 and crushed by USC, losing by 19. UCLA is just 1-4 ATS their last 5 facing a team with a winning percentage of .600 or better. As for Arizona, they have revenge from a loss earlier to UCLA this season. I fully expect them to get it in a big way tonight as they have been dominant on their home floor, losing just once. They have 12 wins at home this season and ALL of them have come by more than this number (-11.5) and a big key to that is the ability to get to the charity stripe. Look for Arizona to run away with this one in the 2nd half tonight.

They have lost 5 straight overall and are 2-11 ATS their last 13 road contests. Oregon State needs to be on their home floor to have any success. When looking at the records of these two teams, Oregon State is better "record wise" than Stanford, yet the Cardinals are laying -2.5 points. Clearly, Stanford is the better team here.

50* CBB TV GAME OF THE MONTH Indiana -1 UPDATE: I see this line has climbed to -3.5 at most books. I recommend buying the hook to -3 or taking the ML if you are getting to this one late. Well it's another one of those games where the spread looks out of whack. We've seen it a lot over the last few weeks where the higher ranked team is a dog or pick to "weaker" competition. It's been alarming how often these teams have been getting upset. Just last night Marquette took out Providence, the night before Creighton took out Xavier, and Vandy dominated Texas A&M. The list goes on and on. Tonight shouldn't be any different. The Indiana Hoosiers have been OUTSTANDING on their home floor. This team is undefeated and have one of the best point differentials I have seen in a long time. Indiana averages 91.1 points a game at home and only gives up 63.7 on defense. That's a +23.7 margin! The Hoosiers have absolutely blown out some of their Big 10 competition this year. They are 6-0 ATS their last 6 games facing a team with a winning percentage of .600 or better. Look for Indiana to bounce back tonight after a rough loss to Penn State in their last game. This is a must win for the Hoosiers as they have to travel to Michigan State on Saturday and can not afford to drop 3 straight games, as it is probable they lose to Sparty. The crowd should be rocking and give a huge boost to Yogi Ferrell and company tonight.

According to tempo, Green Bay is the #2 ranked and Detroit is #7. They are also poor defensive teams also, ranking 190 and 307 respectively. This may be the highest total I've seen this year and I fully expect a team to score nearly 100 points tonight themselves.

50* SEC GAME OF THE YEAR South Carolina -4.5 This is going to be a big statement game for the Gamecocks. They have got to feel extremely disrespected by the Associated Press for dropping them out of the Top 25, especially after a WIN over Texas A&M. South Carolina should come out with a huge chip on their shoulder and ultra motivated to prove them wrong. This is also a huge opportunity for them to get on top of the SEC with a win here tonight. LSU has become a very public team and most of the reasoning behind that is the extraordinary hype surrounding Ben Simmons. People want to bet on the great players and the players they see all over ESPN. However, this causes them to be over-valued. Just look at their performance against the spread. LSU is 1-7 covering the number facing a team with a winning record. They are also just 2-5 ATS on the road and 2-6 ATS their last 8 in Conference play. This team is not the same away from Baton Rouge. On the other hand, South Carolina has dominated their opposition on their home floor. They are undefeated at home this season, 12-0. They have been stellar covering the number as well. The Gamecocks are 7-1 ATS facing a team with a winning percentage above .600 and 13-3 ATS their last 16 games at home. Frank Martin always has his team disciplined and ready to play on their home court. A key here for this game is the defense of SC. They are a stout defensive and rebounding team. They hold their opponents to less than 69 points per game. Why that's important is because LSU has not won a game scoring less than 70 points. So if we can get a solid defensive performance out of the Gamecocks tonight, we'll cash this ticket.

30* Kansas -7 All four of our plays today are very similar. Four of the most public sides today are: West Virginia, Xavier, Michigan State, and the Florida Panthers. All of them either the line hasn't moved or there has been reverse line movement. It simply looks way too easy to take WVU here getting this many points. Looking closer at this game, Kansas is 12-1 ATS getting same season revenge from an earlier double digit loss. The Mountaineer's success comes from the result of turnovers. They got to the Jayhawks earlier this year but Kansas is MUCH better protecting the ball on their home floor. As for Xavier, they are the #5 ranked team in the country and are basically a pick em to the unranked Creighton Blue Jays. Something's up here and they will be on upset watch. Projection models have home team winning by 3 points. I know the Buffalo Sabres aren't a very good team but one can not ignore a 40 cent line move with 75% of the action on the visitors. When taking a look closer, Florida is 1-4 their last 5 on the road and 1-4 facing a team with a losing record. One last note: We were on one incredible hot streak of late and we have taken a spill over the last few days. Believe me when I say no one hates it more than I do letting clients down. When being on such a hot streak, its inevitable to lose or a have a bit of a losing streak eventually. NO ONE can win every single day of the year, it's just not possible and if anyone tells you they have, then they are not trusting. There's plenty of ebs and flows in this business. The key is winning over the long haul and this is a marathon, not a sprint. ALWAYS remember to use proper money management. I'm really not trying to make excuses but that's the harsh reality. I'm sure some of you will not care for what I'm saying right now but I want to be able to reach out to my supporters as I feel most guys in this business don't take the time out to talk to you guys. I do want to say thank you to all you guys out their putting your trust in me and hopefully we get this thing turned around soon. Best of luck to us tonight!

40* CBB VEGAS INSIDER Clemson -1 We've seen a few of these spread lately where the "higher ranked" team is the road dog. Georgia vs. South Carolina and Vanderbilt vs. Texas A&M. We took the short home favorite both times (UGA/Vandy) and they cruised to easy wins. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Notre Dame comes off their biggest win of the season, a home upset of the UNC Tar Heels. They now have to travel to SC and play on the road with just one day off. This is a prime let-down spot. The Fighting Irish have not done well covering the number following a win. ND is just 2-7 ATS following a straight up win and they are a terrible, 0-5 ATS when following a spread win their previous game. As for Clemson, this team has been outstanding in front of their home fans in Greenville. The Tigers are 11-2 at home, which includes some very impressive wins. They knocked off Louisville, Miami, Florida State, and Duke. This team is not intimidated facing the good teams. Clemson is 8-1 ATS facing a team with a winning percentage of .600. They have also covered the spread in 5 straight games at home. This is also a solid bounce back spot for the Tigers as they are coming back home after 3 straight road games and a tough loss to VT on Saturday. For what it's worth, taking a hard look at Duke -3.5 right now. Haven't decided to make it a play or not yet. Waiting on some confirmation first and will post if it becomes an official play.

20* Duke -3.5 Recommend buying the hook to -3 Was waiting to see if this line would drop to -3 and that's the reasoning for the late release. A great spot bet in College sports is to bet against teams on their 2nd game after the suspension. The first game for a team (Louisville) they usually do great but in the 2nd game they face a letdown as the ban sets it and the team's performance suffers. Louisville has also been awful on the road and Duke is in desperate need for a big win. Cameron Indoor should be rocking and there's a reason they are the favorite here folks.

50* BIG 12 GAME OF THE MONTH Oklahoma -5 I'm sure this will be a very public play, but I don't care. Oklahoma just has too much firepower for this Kansas State team. Everyone on the Sooners starting 5 can score. They also have the best 3 point shooting team in the land and it's always key to shoot well front distance on the road. Oklahoma is currently shooting 46% from 3 on the season and they have hit 50% over their last 5 games. Think about that. HALF of the shots they take from beyond the arc go in. That's simply amazing and they shoot a lot of them. I don't see how Kansas State can keep up with them. Another key here is free throw shooting. Oklahoma is far and away better than Kansas State from the charity stripe. Kansas State is just terrible from the line, shooting just 68%. To stay in games when you are the underdog, you need to hit your 3 pointers and free throws and the Wildcats simply can't do that. Kansas State is 10-2 at home but they basically have won against scrubs. They only two good teams they have played, they lost. They are just 1-4 ATS facing a team with a winning % above .600. The way I see it, this game may be close early on as this is a huge opponent coming into your (Kansas State) building and the crowd should be rocking, but Oklahoma is just too powerful and if/when they start draining them from 3, look for the Sooners to pull away in the 2nd half.

50* MAAC GAME OF THE MONTH Siena -8.5 Great spot here for the Saints tonight. Siena are looking to bounce back after their first home loss of the season. They play very well at home as they are 9-1. They also have revenge from an earlier loss to St. Peter's back in December. They were down double digits in that game and after a furious comeback, they came up just short. I don't see them taking the Peacocks from granted here. Let's face it, Siena is a much better team than St. Peter's. They play at a much quicker pace, which favors the Saints, and given that they are playing on their home court, I expect them to dictate the tempo of the game. Siena has the advantage in all the stat departments as well. St. Peter's ranks in the 200's and 300's in nearly every statistical category. In their 9 home victories this season, the Saints have won 6 of those games by double digits and 2 of them by 8 points. They have also covered 5 straight games coming off a loss. Expect that trend to continue tonight.

50* CBB VEGAS INSIDER OF THE YEAR Vanderbilt -1 This game reminds me a lot of the South Carolina/Georgia game a couple nights ago. SC was 19-2 and Georgia was 11-8, yet the Bulldogs were favored. We cashed with Georgia and tonight should be a similar result. Texas A&M is 18-3 and 7-1 the SEC. Vanderbilt is 12-9, 4-4 in conference play, and is FAVORED. Something's up. Texas A&M comes off a huge win over Iowa State and they could be in for a letdown. Although the Aggies have a great record, they have not been playing well on the road. To make matters worse for them, they have to play at Memorial Gym. This is one of the toughest places to shoot the rock as the floor is raised and it gives the players bad sight lines. Just look at the stats for Vanderbilt's defense. They LEAD the nation in 3 point shot defense, rank #1 in the SEC and 9th in the Country in overall FG defense. Vanderbilt needs a "good" win badly, and I think they get it and so does my closest sources. They have confirmed multiple max bets on the home team and look at the line movement. Everyone and their mother is going to want to stand in line and bet the Aggies. In fact, 74% of the bets have been placed on the visitors, yet this line has climbed up a point to -2 now. I wouldn't be surprised if it kept climbing. Texas A&M is the 8th best team in the Nation and are the UNDERDOGS to an unranked team. Vegas isn't stupid and doesn't give away money. Look for Vandy to shock a lot of people tonight.

50* CBB MAX BET Iowa State -4.5 In my opinion, one of the toughest places to play in basketball is the Hilton Coliseum. These Cyclones really feed off the crowd and can beat ANYONE when playing their brand of basketball. They already took out Kansas and Oklahoma. Iowa State really comes to play when playing the better teams of the nation. The Cyclones are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games against a team with a winning record, 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a road winning percentage of greater than .600, and are 14-6-1 ATS in their last 21 games playing a team with a winning % above .600. The West Virginia Mountaineers are really sputtering right now. They have lost 3 of their last 5 games, and needed a crazy comeback against Texas Tech or they would be 1-4. Needless to say, Hilton is one of the worst places to play when trying to get back on track. WVU is just 1-4 ATS their last 5 meetings against Iowa State. Bottomline here is that the Cyclones have covered 4 straight in arguably the toughest conference in America, the Big 12. Look for the crowd to go nuts in the 2nd half when Iowa State goes on a run and make it too much for the Mountaineers to handle.

30* CBB VEGAS INSIDER Georgia ML -113 First, let's look at the records of these two teams. South Carolina is 19-2 and 6-2 in the SEC. Georgia is 11-8 and 4-4 in the SEC, yet this line is pick or even the Bulldogs are favored in some spots. Something is up here. Georgia is in a great bounce back spot at home tonight and have played well against some of the Top 60 teams in the Nation, which includes some blow out victories. Georgia really impressed me during their LSU game when they were down double digits in the final minute and came back to within one point and almost won. We remember that game as it was a terrible loss (ATS) for the Tigers as we were on them in that game. This team has a lot of grit and won't quit. Georgia is 5-0 ATS following a loss and have covered 5 of their last 6 facing a team with a winning record. The Gamecocks have shown that they don't play well on the road. They got destroyed by Alabama and Tennessee. Another negative for SC is that they could be looking ahead to their matchup against Texas A&M. Georgia has dominated this series of late. The Gamecocks are just 6-21 ATS their last 27 meetings which includes going 3-13 ATS their last 16 meetings in Georgia.

50* CBB GAME OF THE MONTH Wichita State -4 After a rough start to the season, the Shockers have caught fire. They have won 10 straight and 13 of their last 14. Their only loss was a narrow 4 point OT defeat at Seton Hall. When looking at their last 10 victories, they have DESTROYED their opponents. Wichita State won those games by an average margin of 21.9 points a game. The only game that was close was, you guessed it, their last game against Evansville. I believe that game served as a wake up call for these guys and to not take them so lightly this time around. Since that narrow victory, they have won their last 6 games by 23.3 points a game. Wichita State has covered 6 straight games overall and have been the kings of the MVC in recent years. They are 37-14 ATS in their last 51 in the Missouri Valley. The Shockers did cover 4 in a row vs. the Purple Aces, prior to their last meeting, where the Shockers were 10 point chalk and failed to cover. Now this is a 6 point adjustment (3 when factoring in HFA.) I believe that's just too many points. I will give the Purple Aces credit, they have won all their games at home, but they have played cupcakes. Evansville comes off a thrilling OT victory on the road at Southern Illinois, just 2 nights ago, and I believe this could be a factor. I can see this game being close throughout the first half, with the home fans rocking as the ESPN cameras will be there. But the Wichita State Shockers are simply just too deep and outclass the Evansville Purple Aces and I expect this to show in the 2nd half, where the Shockers pull away to a convincing victory.

All but 1 of those games came by double digits and that was a 9 point victory. Texas-Arlington started out hot but now have lost 3 of their last 4 and most of it is because the loss to their do-it-all guy, Kevin Hervey. Even though Lafayette is just 10-8 they are 6-3 in the Sun Belt, good enough for 2nd place. This team still has a fighting chance to represent the Sun Belt come tourney time. Texas Arlington is 14-5 but 5-3 in the Conference. From just looking at their record alone, one would assume Texas Arlington is the better team. The lines makers made them 5.5/6 point favorites for a reason. I expect a convincing Ragin Cajuns victory tonight.

40* NCAA VEGAS INSIDER Maryland -5 The Iowa Hawkeyes have been on fire lately but this line is telling on who should win this game tonight. This line opened at -4 and is now at -5. This says that the home team is nearly 3 possession favorites over the #3 team in the Country. What's surprising is the action on this game. Almost 2 out of every 3 bets are on the underdog but this line has climbed an entire point and it looks to go even higher. One of my sources has confirmed several max bets on the Terrapins. Maryland is still ranked #8 in the country, this is a very good ball club and even better at home. They have yet to lose at the XFinity Center. The talk about Maryland is that they haven't had a big win yet and I'm sure these players are starting to hear about it. I expect Diamond Stone and Melo Trimble to have huge games by riding the momentum of the crowd tonight.

30* Louisiana State (LSU) -6.5 Multiple sources I have spoken with are all over the Bayou Bengals tonight. Projection models have LSU winning this game by 10 points. Louisiana State has been struggling against the number of late but I think this has caused the oddsmakers to adjust the number too low in this game. Georgia has covered just once in their last 6 meetings in LSU. This is big as Georgia has struggled on the road, winning just 1 game against a bad Missouri team and LSU has been dynamite on their home floor, winning 10 out of 11, which includes a blowout of Kentucky.

50* A-10 GAME OF THE YEAR St. Bonaventure +2.5 Wrong team is favored here. The Bonnie's play exceptionally well at home, especially against the number. They have covered 4 straight at home. They are also 16-4 their last 20 facing a team with a winning road record and are 9-1 ATS facing conference foes. The key here for this game are the statistical edges in important categories for St. Bonaventure. A great bet in College Hoops is backing a team that shoots well from the free throw line in front of their home fans. Calls usually go towards the home team, so it's expected that they should shoot more FTs and cash in. They are the best team in the conference from the charity stripe, shooting just under 80% as a team. The Bonnie's are also #1 in the A-10 in offensive efficiency and they are #1 protecting the perimeter. Bottomline here is that the Dayton Flyers are just 1-5 ATS following a spread victory and they have shown that they are prone to a lot of turnovers, which is something you simply can not do on the road. I expect St. Bonaventure to take care of business in front of their home fans tonight.

50* ACC GAME OF THE MONTH Duke -6.5 This line is a total steal in my opinion. Love the fact we can get this Blue Devils team under the key number of 7. I do see that most spots have moved this number now and I do recommend buying the hook if you don't have the outs. Duke has been straight STOMPING teams. Besides the Utah hiccup in OT, they have dominated their opponents, winning by roughly 20 points a game. The Blue Devils have covered 7 of their last 8 ACC games and they are also on a 19-6 ATS run facing a team with a winning record. Clemson is in a tough spot in this one as they come off a huge upset win at home against Louisville. If you look closer at that game, it was quite the anomaly. The Tigers made only 14 shots but attempted nearly 50 free throws. Guess how many Louisville shot? 16...Huge disparity at the free throw line and I'm sure the officials heard about that. I wouldn't be surprised if the officials swallow their whistles more for Clemson tonight given the fact they blew it out of proportion last game. The Tigers are just 3-13 ATS following an outright upset at home. I also like the fact that if Duke is up only by a few points at the end of the game, Clemson will continue to foul over and over again since they're playing in front of the home crowd and won't want to seem like they quit. The Blue Devils just outclass the Tigers in so many ways and as long as Duke doesn't go ice cold, they win by double digits.

The Jayhawks come off their biggest game of the season, a triple OT winner against the #2 ranked Oklahoma Sooners. This team has got to suffer a letdown with some very tired legs. Texas Tech should be rocking tonight and it would not surprise me one bit if the Red Raiders pulled the upset. Laying over the key number of 7 is way too much to ask for the Jayhawks in their current spot.
