MIKE'S 5* NCAA TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONSHIP GAME BEST BET

The defending champions, the UConn Huskies, are the first team since North Carolina (2016, 2017) to play in back-to-back title games. They're perfect 5-0 SU in their previous five title game appearances.

Both teams are perfect against the spread in the NCAA tournament this year, but I make the Huskies an even bigger favorite for this matchup than the bookmakers do. 

5* PLAY ON UCONN. 

5* NCAA TOURNAMENT FINAL FOUR TOTAL OF THE YEAR MAX BET

The Alabama Crimson Tide have scored 89 points in back-to-back games, but tonight they'll face a UConn Huskies team that has held its last two opponents to 52 points each, and its last four opponents to 58 points or fewer. The Huskies will dominate the game and control the tempo, and I expect them to make this a relatively low-scoring affair. 

Under is 4-0 in Huskies last 4 NCAA Tournament games. Under is 6-1 in Huskies last 7 games as a favorite of 7.0-12.5. Under is 9-4 in Crimson Tide last 13 games as an underdog of 7.0-12.5.

5* PLAY ON THE UNDER.

5* CBB TOURNEY ELITE 8 GAME OF THE YEAR

Both teams are coming into this NCAA Tournament West Regional final matchup off impressive upset wins against the top-two seeds in the Sweet 16, but I like the Alabama Crimson Tide to be the team to move on to the Final Four. 

Clemson defeated Bama 85-77 in Tuscaloosa in November, but that was part of a rough five-game losing streak for the Tide, who are in a much better position now.  

Bama scored 89 points on UNC last time out, and their 90.7 points per game is the best scoring average in the nation. Clemson has won as underdogs three times in the tournament, but this is where the Tigers run comes to an end. 

5* PLAY ON ALABAMA. 

MIKE'S CBB TOURNEY SWEET 16 GAME OF THE YEAR

The Tennessee Volunteers are 2-12-2 ATS in their last 16 NCAA Tournament games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5 while the Creighton Bluejays are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games as an underdog and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

The Vols have an edge of the defensive end, but they made only 33.8% of their shots when they knocked out Texas in the last round while Creighton has a lot of scoring threats.

5* PLAY ON CREIGHTON. 

5* NCAAB TOURNAMENT ROUND OF 32 GAME OF THE YEAR MAX BET

The Kansas Jayhawks barely scraped past Samford in a tight game on Thursday, and they've not looked quite right for some time. The Gonzaga Bulldogs, on the other hand, were as dominant as ever in their 21-point win over McNeese State. I see no reason why we wouldn't back the team that looks the part in this matchup. 

Bulldogs are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games as a favorite. Jayhawks are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 neutral site games as an underdog. Jayhawks are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

5* PLAY ON THE GONZAGA BULLDOGS.

MIKE'S 4* UAB/SDSU CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The UAB Blazers are coming off an 85-69 victory over Temple in the AAC tournament championship game on Sunday, but today they'll face a much tougher opponent in the San Diego State Aztecs, who will be looking to gear up again following a string of disappointing results.

The Aztecs went on a huge run in the tournament last year to reach the national title game, and I think they're a much stronger team than their recent results suggest.

4* PLAY ON SAN DIEGO STATE. 

MIKE'S EARLY NORTHWESTERN/FAU CBB BOOKIE BREAKER (12:15 PM)

The Northwestern Wildcats are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog of 0.5-6.5. The Florida Atlantic Owls are only 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

3* PLAY ON NORTHWESTERN. 

5* SEC TOURNAMENT CBB GAME OF THE YEAR MAX BET

I like the Auburn Tigers to win and cover when they clash with the Florida Gators in the SEC Championship game on Sunday. Auburn has been heavily favored throughout the tournament, this is the lowest number they've been asked to cover, while Florida was an underdog to Alabama in the quarterfinals and a short favorite over Texas A&M in the semis. 

Florida won the first meeting of the season on Feb 10, but that was in Gainesville. I think Auburn's edge on the defensive end is too much for Florida to handle. 

5* PLAY ON AUBURN TIGERS. 

MIKE'S 5* ATLANTIC 10 TOURNEY GAME OF THE YEAR MAX BET

The VCU Rams won 73-69 when they hosted the St. Joseph's Hawks on Feb 25. I think we'll see an even tighter game when they clash in the Atlantic 10 Championship Semifinal Saturday afternoon. The feisty Hawks are coming off wins as 2-point and 2.5-point underdogs against George Mason and Richmond, respectively, and their 3-point shooting will be a big problem for VCu to solve.

5* PLAY ON ST. JOE'S. 

MIKE'S EARLY 4* MISS STATE/TENNESSEE CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Mississippi State Bulldogs came into the SEC Tournament on a four-game losing streak, but they opened the tourney with a 70-60 win over LSU. I think they can keep it somewhat close here against the Tennessee Volunteers, who enter the tournament Friday night. 

Volunteers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games as a favorite. Bulldogs are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games.

4* PLAY ON MISSISSIPPI STATE.

The Iowa Hawkeyes are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games as an underdog and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite, 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points.

4* PLAY ON OHIO STATE. 

MIKE'S KANSAS STATE/TEXAS CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Texas Longhorns defeated the Kansas State Wildcats 62-56 on Feb 19, and I think they'll get the win and cover when they clash in the Big 12 Tournament Wednesday night.

Kansas State closed out the regular season with a win as an underdog against Iowa State, but was otherwise inconsistent down the stretch while the Longhorns were 3-0-1 AST in their last eight games, with three outright wins and the lone loss as an 8-point underdog at Baylor. 

4* PLAY ON TEXAS. 

MAX BET ALERT - 5* OKST/UCF BIG 12 GAME OF THE MONTH (12:30 EST)

I like the UCF Knights to win and cover the spread against the Oklahoma State Cowboys in the Big 12 Tournament Tuesday afternoon. The Cowboys are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS loss while the Knights are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS win.

5* PLAY ON UCF. 

ACC GAME OF THE YEAR ALERT - 5* UNC/DUKE MAX BET

The Duke Blue Devils and the North Carolina Tar Heels are coming into the weekend with identical 24-6 records, but I like Duke to win and get the cover as a home favorite. 

Blue Devils are 9-0 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite. Blue Devils are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Tar Heels are 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a road underdog. Tar Heels are 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a road underdog of 0.5-6.5.

MIKE'S TEXAS TECH/WEST VIRGINIA CBB BOOKIE BLA$TER

The West Virginia Mountaineers covered the spread in a 94-90 loss at Kansas State in their last game, but they are just 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS win and 16-33 ATS in their last 49 games as an underdog.

3* PLAY ON TEXAS TECH. 

MIKE'S USC/WASHINGTON CBB BOOKIE BU$TER

The Washington Huskies are coming off a 94-77 win over UCLA but they are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game and 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win. The Trojans are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

3* PLAY ON USC. 

MAX BET ALERT - 5* CBB BIG EAST TOTAL OF THE YEAR

The Marquette Golden Eagles have put up 105 and 88 points as double-digit home favorites in their last two games. They're a double-digit favorite once again when hosting the Providence Friars Wednesday night. The over is 18-8-1 in Golden Eagles last 27 vs. a team with a winning straight up record, and I expect to see plenty of points for both sides in this contest. 

5* PLAY ON THE OVER. 

MIKE'S 4* CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

This looks like a good spot to fade the Florida A&M Rattlers following their upset win over the Alabama State Hornets. Rattlers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS win and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win while the Alabama A&M Bulldogs are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record and 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

4* PLAY ON ALABAMA A&M.

MIKE'S 4* PURDUE/MICHIGAN CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Michigan Wolverines are only 5-8 SU at home on the season and 2-9 ATS in their last 11 home games. The Wolverines are 4-17 ATS in their last 21 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, and I think they'll lose big here against the 24-3 Purdue Boilermakers who are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.

4* PLAY ON PURDUE. 

MAX BET ALERT - 5* SEC GAME OF THE MONTH

This looks like a great spot to back the Kentucky Wildcats to bounce back from a disappointing loss as a road favorite at LSU. The Alabama Crimson Tide have been playing at a very high level but I don't trust them as underdogs. 

Wildcats are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games following an ATS loss. Crimson Tide are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as a road underdog. Crimson Tide are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 road games.

5* PLAY ON KENTUCKY.

MAX BET ALERT - 5* CBB TOTAL OF THE MONTH

I like the under when the LSU Tigers host the No. 17 Kentucky Wildcats Wednesday night.

Kentucky is 18-7 to the over for the season, but the team has played lockdown D lately and coming off back-to-back unders after holding Ole Miss to 63 points and Auburn to 59 points.

The Wildcats are one of the highest-scoring teams in the nation with their 88.2 points per game average, but this total looks too high to me. 

5* PLAY ON THE UNDER. 

MIKE'S CBB BOOKIE BREAKER

The South Florida Bulls are having a great season, and they are 10-0 SU and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games. The Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners did just enough to cover the spread in an 83-77 loss at Temple in their last game, but they've struggled on the defensive end all season allowing 83.4 points per game while USF has been holding opponents to a respectable 68.8 ppg.  

3* PLAY ON SOUTH FLORIDA. 

MIKE'S UCONN/CREIGHTON CBB BOOKIE BU$TER

The UConn Huskies defeated the Creighton Bluejays 62-48 on Jan 17, but I expect the Bluejays to put up a better fight at home. The Bluejays are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home underdog, and they'll not only be looking to avenge the loss from last month, but also deny the Huskies to become the first Big East team to ever put together a 15-game winning streak in conference play. One must also wonders if the nerves will get to the visitors with such an accomplishment within reach. 

3* PLAY ON CREIGHTON. 

MIKE'S 4* CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The UMass Minutemen took an 82-21 loss at La Salle in their last game, but they are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss and 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS loss. The VCU Rams are in a potential letdown spot following four solid wins. 

4* PLAY ON UMASS. 

MIKE'S 4* CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Houston Cougars are coming off an 82-61 win over Texas. I think they'll keep pushing the pedal to the metal here against an Iowa State team they know they must take seriously after suffering a 57-53 road loss to the Cyclones last month. 

Cougars are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 home games.

The Quinnipiac Bobcats are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS loss, a trend that is applicable for this game as they're coming off a 96-79 loss as a 1.5-point road favorite against Mount St. Mary's. Additionally, the Bobcats are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 Sunday games while the Niagara Purple Eagles are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Sunday games.

The VCU Rams are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite and 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5.

Wright State had won three on the bounce before that loss and averages 85.7 points per game on the year, which is 9th in the nation in scoring offense while Northern Kentucky has been held to fewer than 60 points in back-to-back games.

The Tennessee Volunteers took a 63-59 loss as a 14-point favorite against the South Carolina Gamecocks in their last game. Can they bounce back with a win against the Kentucky Wildcats Saturday night? Not so fast, as the Wildcats are looking to bounce back from a loss of their own after coming up short in a 94-91 setback as a 7.5-point favorite against Florida. 

I think the situation combined with the homecourt advantage gives Kentucky a big edge. 

Volunteers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss. Volunteers are 2-12 ATS in their last 14 road games. Volunteers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

The No. 6 Kentucky Wildcats (10-2) have been dominating weaker opposition (and put a 96-70 beating on Illinois State in their last game), but here they'll run into a much tougher opponent in the Florida Gators (10-3). The Gators lost back-to-back games to close out November but have won six in a row since, including an impressive 106-101 win at Michigan.

Kentucky is a talented team, but I don't think they have what it takes to take down the Gators in Gainesville.

The Arizona State Sun Devils have a new look with only three players returning from the team that reached the NCAA Tournament last season. Of those three returning players, forward Alonzo Gaffney is out injured.

MIKE'S 10* NCAA TOURNEY SWEET 16 TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

Arkansas upset Kansas to make it to the Sweet 16, but here they'll run into a UConn team that has looked really strong, coming off blowout wins over Iona and St. Mary's. The Huskies are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 18-6 ATS in their last 24 NCAA Tournament games.

10* PLAY ON UCONN HUSKIES. 

MIKE'S MICHIGAN STATE/MARQUETTE CBB BOOKIE BU$TER

Marquette is 29-6 SU and 22-12-1 ATS on the season. Michigan State is 20-12 SU and 16-16 ATS. The No. 2-seeded Golden Eagles are riding a 10-game winning streak and the Golden Eagles are 25-12-1 ATS in their last 38 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

8* PLAY ON MARQUETTE GOLDEN EAGLES. 

MIKE'S AUBURN/HOUSTON CBB BOOKIE BU$TER

The Cougars are the No. 1 seed, but All-American guard Marcus Sasser aggravated a groin injury in Houston's 63-52 win over 16th-seeded Northern Kentucky on Thursday. The Cougars are 32-3 SU on the season but 2-8 ATS in their last 10 and the Tigers are a feisty bunch. 

8* PLAY ON AUBURN TIGERS. 

10* DUKE/TEN CBB GAME OF THE WEEK

Neither Duke nor Tennessee has impressive ATS numbers for the season, but the Blue Devils have played a lot better of late going 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the Volunteers are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games overall and going 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

10* PLAY ON DUKE BLUE DEVILS. 

MIKE'S FURMAN/SAN DIEGO STATE BOOKIE BREAKER

This looks like a good spot to fade Furman following their upset win over Virginia. The Aztecs will not make the mistake of underestimating their opponent and they are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

8* PLAY ON SAN DIEGO STATE AZTECS. 

MIKE'S PROVIDENCE/KENTUCKY CBB BOOKIE BU$TER

Neither Providence nor Kentucky made any noise in their respective conference tournament. I like the dog here in this matchup as Providence has the offensive firepower to keep this close. Friars are 35-17 ATS in their last 52 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Wildcats are 3-14 ATS in their last 17 neutral site games.

8* PLAY ON PROVIDENCE. 

MIKE'S AUBURN/IOWA BOOKIE BU$TER

Auburn is 20-12 SU on the season while Iowa is 19-13. Tigers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 NCAA Tournament games. Hawkeyes are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 NCAA Tournament games.

8* PLAY ON AUBURN. 

TOP-RATED 10* FIRST FOUR BEST BET

Nevada is 22-10 SU and 18-11-2 ATS on the season, and I think the Wolf Pack are undervalued by the betting market once again here against Arizona State. The Wolf Pack are 15-4 ATS in their last 19 neutral site games and 18-8-2 ATS in their last 28 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. The Sun Devils are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games overall.

10* PLAY ON NEVADA WOLF PACK. 

MIKE'S BIG TEN TOURNEY BOOKIE BU$TER

Purdue defeated Ohio State by 14 points in the semi-finals of the Big Ten tournament while Penn State was pushed to the limit by Indiana. This will be the third meeting of the season. The Boilermakers won the first two meetings by 13 and 20 points and I expect them to run away with this one as well, especially as this is only their third game of the tournament while PSU will play its fourth game in as many days. 

8* PLAY ON PURDUE BOILERMAKERS. 

MIKE'S 10* AAC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME OF THE YEAR

Both teams have looked sharp here in the American Athletic Conference Tournament, but I can't help but feeling that Memphis is undervalued in the Championship game. The Tigers are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points and 9-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings with the Cougars. 

10* PLAY ON MEMPHIS TIGERS. 

MIKE'S OHIO STATE/PURDUE CBB BOOKIE BREAKER

This looks like a good spot to fade the Ohio State Buckeyes who must be running out of energy as they'll play their fourth game in four nights and coming off back-to-back wins as underdogs. The top-seeded Purdue Boilermakers have won their first two games without impressing, but I expect them to run away with this one. 

8* PLAY ON PURDUE BOILERMAKERS. 

MWC TOURNEY GAME OF THE YEAR MAX BET

This looks like a good spot to fade the San Jose State Spartans following their OT upset win against Nevada on Thursday.

San Diego State meanwhile might've received a bit of a wake up call as eighth-seeded Colorado State took the Aztecs to the wire yesterday and I expect them to come out all guns blazing here. The Aztecs won the only meeting against the Spartans this season, 72-51 on Jan. 28 in San Diego.

Aztecs are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Aztecs are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS loss.

We saw 147 points scored when Arizona defeated USC 81-66 back in January. Now Arizona is on the road where it averages only 76.4 ppg compared to 83.3 ppg overall. 

10* PLAY ON UNDER. 

MIKE'S 10* BIG SKY CBB GAME OF THE YEAR MAX BET

This looks like a great spot to back a hot Montana side that is 6-1 SU and 4-3 ATS in its last seven games. Idaho is coming off three straight losses and it has only two wins in its last 10 games. The Grizzlies are only 5-9 SU on the road this season but 4-0 ATS in its last four on the road while the Vandals are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. 

10* PLAY ON MONTANA. 

MIKE'S 10* CBB GAME OF THE YEAR - MISSOURI VALLEY MAX BET

This looks like a great spot to fade the reeling Northern Iowa Panthers who are 1-7 SU and 2-6 ATS in their last eight games and back the Belmont Bruins who are 3-1 SU in their last four games. I their last game, the Panthers took an 86-63 loss at Southern Illinois. The Panthers are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss of more than 20 points and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

10* PLAY ON OVER. 

MIKE'S INDIANA STATE/BELMONT CBB BOOKIE BLA$TER

The Indiana St. Sycamores are 18-10 ATS for the season and 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games overall, but I think they're in for a tough one here against a Belmont team that will be looking to bounce back from a loss at Drake. The Bruins are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss.

8* PLAY ON BELMONT BRUINS. 

MIKE'S MINNESOTA/MARYLAND CBB BOOKIE BOMBER

Minnesota is heading to Maryland on a 10-game losing streak, but the Golden Gophers are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. The Gophers are 8-3 ATS as underdogs of 10 points or more on the season. 

8* PLAY ON MINNESOTA GOLDEN GOPHERS. 

MIKE'S MARSHALL/JAMES MADISON CBB BOOKIE BREAKER

Marshall is a solid 18-10 ATS on the season, but James Madison is an even stronger 18-8 ATS.

10* PLAY ON ST. LOUIS BILLIKENS. 

10* CBB GAME OF THE WEEK - KANSAS/TCU MAX BET

TCU ended a four-game skid with an impressive 100-75 blowout win over Oklahoma State in their last game. Having Mike Miles Jr. back on the floor gave the team a big boost, and the Horned Frogs are now 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 home games and 17-6-2 ATS in their last 25 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

The Jayhawks are coming off four straight wins and they are 6-1 in its last seven games, but I think Kansas will come up short here against a TCU team that will be looking to go on a run with its star player finally back in the lineup. 

Additionally, note that TCU has covered the spread in four of the last five meetings. 

10* PLAY ON TCU HORNED FROGS.

SUPER EARLY ATLANTIC 10 BOOKIE BOMBER

Richmond has been underachieving against the spread all season (9-14 ATS) and the Spiders are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, but I think the betting market is undervaluing Richmond here against Fordham.

It's a buy low spot on Richmond who is coming off six straight losses and a sell high spot on the Rams who are 5-0 SU in their last five games and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

8* PLAY ON RICHMOND SPIDERS.
