The Tigers meanwhile trailed by 10 with under five minutes to go Saturday before scoring the game’s final 15 points for a 73-68 win at Wake Forest for their ninth straight win.

The Creighton Bluejays are 11-0 on the season, but they had to fight hard for the W as a 24.5-point home favorite against Oral Roberts on Saturday. Creighton walked away as a 66-65 winner in the end, and I expect a much better performance here as they're 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games following a ATS loss. Arizona State on the other hand has struggled to cover spreads all season long, and the team is 3-12-1 ATS in its last 16 games as an underdog last season included. 

Creighton has the eighth most prolific offense in the nation in averaging 89.3 points per game. Arizona State's D meanwhile ranks among the worst in the NCAA, and I expect Creighton to run away with a big win here.

Auburn tied an SEC record with 21 3-pointers and shot 55.6 percent in Thursday's 117-72 blowout victory as an 11.5-point favorite against Coastal Carolina.

The No. 7 Kentucky Wildcats will take on Hofstra Pride at Barclays Center in Brooklyn Sunday afternoon. Kentucky is coming off a 87-63 win against Valparaiso as it bounced back from a 97-92 loss to UCLA. Hofstra meanwhile had won four straight before coming up short in a 81-71 loss to St. Bonaventure last Tuesday. 

The Wildcats are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games as a favorite of 13 points or greater and 6-1 ATS in their last seven neutral site games as a favorite. I think the loss to UCLA as an 11-point favorite worked as a wake up call for the Wildcats, and I don't see them underestimating any team in the nearest future. "Coming off the loss, we wanted to get things rolling early," Kentucky’s senior forward Derek Willis told reporters after the win against Valparaiso. "We keyed in on the things we messed up last game against UCLA. We came out a lot more focused and had way more energy." The Wildcats are the superior team by a mile, and I expert them to cover the spread.

UNC Greensboro Spartans will host the Wake Forest Demon Deacons Friday night, and I think this looks like an excellent spot to take the points on the home team. The Spartans average more than 10 made 3-pointers per contest this season and they're shooting 39 percent from behind the arc. They're coming off six consecutive wins, the most recent a 108-56 demolition of Mars Hill as junior forward Marvin Smith led the team with 23 points and made five of his six attempts from behind the arc. Wake Forest has won each of its last two and four of its last six games. It's however worth noting that the Demon Deacons are just 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight up win.

No one has managed to score more than 66 on the Spartans this season, and I think they'll be able to keep this a closer game than the spread would indicate. Take the points on the home team.

The Horned Frogs are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games following three or more consecutive home games and 0-6 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. SMU is a perfect 5-0 at home on the season and 5-1 ATS in its last six home games.

The Bulldogs are a perfect 8-0 on the season and they're clearly the superior team, but the backdoor will be wide open and note that while Indiana State has four losses on the season, the defeats have com by a total of 10 points.

Evansville has been playing solid D all season and held Boise State to 36.8 percent shooting from the field in a 72-67 win its last time out. Bowling Green shot just 36.8 percent from the field while allowing Cincinnati to shoot 55.7 percent in a 85-5 loss last last Sunday.

UConn is banged up and won without impressing in a 51-49 victory over Boston University its last time out. The Orange meanwhile are coming off a 77-71 win against North Florida and led by as many as 24 points in the second half before slowing down. The Orange know they can't allow the Huskies to stay close here, and I expect the Orange to dominate this game from start to finish.

The Minnesota Golden Gophers look like a much improved team from the side that finished last season with an 8-23 record. They're a perfect 6-0 through their first games of the season, but keep in mind that each of those games have been at home. I think they'll come up short here when visiting the talented Florida State Seminoles. 

Note that the Golden Gophers are 0-4-1 ATS in their last five road games following three or more consecutive home games and 0-4 ATS in their last four games after allowing less than 50 points in their previous game, which they are coming off a 57-45 win over Southern Illinois. 

FSU is 6-1 ATS in its last seven home games and returns home from a solid 72-61 win at Illinois. Take the home team to cover a rather large spread.

The Western Michigan Broncos are coming off a 90-74 victory against Marygrove College in their season opener, and they outrebounded their opponent 57-33. The team returns four starters from last season and the Broncos have one of the best players in the MAC in Thomas Wilder. He had a fairly quiet first game, but managed 12 points in 23 minutes and he averaged 18.0 points per game last season. The Golden Grizzlies opened the season with a 78-70 win against Bowling Green as they just barely failed to cover the closing line of eight points. They've lost a couple of key pieces during the off-season and I think they're in for a very tough game here. 

CBB Crusaders/Gamecocks
Play: South Carolina
Rating: 8*

The South Carolina Gamecocks will host the Holy Cross Crusaders Sunday night, and my money is on the home team to win and cover the spread. 

Holy Cross finished last season strong and can return four starters from the team that managed to win the Patriot League Championship as the 9-seed. The Crusaders are easily outmatched when facing teams from the stronger conferences though, and while this will be the their first game of the season the Gamecocks have one game under their belt already as they defeated Louisiana Tech 85-76 on Friday. South Carolina has lost some pieces from last year’s team, but the most important player is still there in Sindarius Thornwell who scored 18 points with seven boards and six assists in the season opener. 

The Gamecocks are 20-6 ATS in their last 26 non-conference games, and I think they'll roll over Holy Cross with ease tonight.

I like the Syracuse Orange to give the North Carolina Tar Heels a run for their money in this Final Four matchup Saturday night. 

This will be the third meeting of the season. The Tar Heels won the first game, 84-73 on the road and 75-70 from Chapel Hill later in the season. Syracuse is 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings.

North Carolina is the only No. 1 seed in this Final Four and the ACC's highest-scoring team at 83 points a game, but I think they'll struggle with Syracuse's solid defense. 

NIT Final
Play: Valparaiso
Rating: 8*

This is it, the National Invitational Tournament final featuring two schools eyeing their first NIT championship in ever!

I like Valparaiso here as they're playing with a point to prove after the NCAA Tournament snub. They had recorded three consecutive double-digit NIT wins prior to Tuesday's 72-70 victory over Brigham Young in the semifinals. "Obviously, we would have rather made the NCAA Tournament but this really adds to the legacy of our seniors and that's what I really feel good about," coach Mike Lonergan said Wednesday. "Getting to New York was probably what we really needed to do, for me, to have a good summer." 

George Washington is no doubt a talented team, but we can note that it is 2-6 ATS in its last eight games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and 2-9 ATS in its last 11 games after allowing less than 50 points in their previous game. That does not bode well coming off a 65-46 win against San Diego State.

The Colonials have the better defense of the two teams, but the Crusaders offense is superior and I think they'll run away with the game once they can create a gap. 

Elite 8 *HARDWOOD HAMMER*
Play: Kansas Jayhawks
Rating: 8*

I trust the Kansas Jayhawks to get the job done and defeat the Villanova Wildcats here to advance to the Final Four of the NCAA Tourney. 

Villanova has impressed so far in the tournament but is 1-4 ATS in its last five Saturday games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. Big 12 teams. The Wilcats have been putting up incredible numbers from behind the arc but I don't see them being able to keep that up much longer. Kansas is 14-3 ATS in its last 17 games overall, 6-2 ATS in its last eight Saturday games and 9-3 ATS in its last 12 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Two very talented teams, but I'm giving the edge to the Jayhawks.  

NCAA Tourney *CA$H COW*

The No. 1 seeded North Carolina Tar Heels will take on No. 5 Indiana Hoosiers Friday night, and I expect an easy win for the top seeded team. 

North Carolina won its seventh straight game on Saturday with a solid 85-66 win against No. 9 Providence. They're 5-1 ATS in their last six games overall. They've averaged more than 82 points and 64 shots a game this season and have limited 27 straight opponents to less than 45 percent shooting from the field. This team got what it takes to take down the whole tourney and albeit being a solid team, I don't think the Hoosiers can compete with them tonight. 

The only advantage I can see for the visitors are their shooting from behind the arc, but they were only 6-for-21 from 3-point land in Saturday's win against Kentucky.

NCAA Tourney Sweet 16 *GAME OF THE YEAR*
Play: Gonzaga
Rating: 10*

I like the Gonzaga Bulldogs to pick up a dominant win against the Syracuse Orange Friday night to move into the Elite 8 of the NCAA Tournament.

The Bulldogs have started the tourney by defeating the number six seed Seton Hall Pirates by a score of 68-52 and destroying the number three seed Utah 82-59. They're 7-0 ATS in their last seven games overall. 

The Orange are off a 70-51 victory over number seven seed Dayton followed by a 75-50 win over number 15 seed Middle Tennessee State. They're just 1-4 ATS in their last five NCAA Tournament games as an underdog though and I think they'll struggle with a Zags team that are shooting the ball better and will dominate the boards. 

Gonzaga averages nine more points per game than Syracuse this season, and combine that with a superior defense for the Zags and I'm sure you'll agree that this is an easy play on the Bulldogs.

Wisconsin defeated Pittsburgh 47-43 in the first round before upsetting the #2 seed Xavier with a 66-63 win Sunday. Under is 10-1 in the Badgers last 11 overall and 5-1 in their last six neutral site games.

Notre Dame is off a 70-63 win against Michigan followed by a 76-75 win against Stephen F. Austin. Under is 7-3 in the Fighting Irish last 10 overall and 15-5-1 in their last 21 NCAA Tournament games.

I expect the solid defending from both teams to continue and we should see this contest stay under the total.

Ninth seeded Connecticut Huskies will be matched up against the top seeded Kansas Jayhawks Saturday and this should be a very one-sided affair. The Huskies are riding a five-game winning streak and downed eighth seed Colorado 74-67 Thursday. None of the wins were against teams with a winning record though and we can note that they're 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 as an underdog.

The Jayhawks are 12-3 ATS last 15 overall and off a 105-79 drubbing of the 16th seeded Austin Peay. The Jayhawks haven’t lost since an 85-72 defeat at Iowa State on Jan. 25, and are averaging 85.3 points over their last six outings.

I don't see how the Huskies will be able to keep up with this superior team, particularly considering the schedule has allowed Kansas to rest key players while Connecticut has played tons of tough matchups.

The Indiana Hoosiers are off a solid 99-74 victory over 12th-seeded Chattanooga in Thursday's opener. They're however only 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following a ATS win and 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings with the Kentucky Wildcats. Kentucky trounced No. 13 seed Stony Brook 85-57 and are 5-0 ATS in their last five games following a ATS win. The Wildcats have a deeper team and should win this contest behind their superior defense.

The Syracuse Orange will take on the Dayton Flyers Friday afternoon, and I like Dayton in this matchup.

The Orange are 4-15 ATS in their last 19 vs. Atlantic 10 while the Flyers are 5-0 ATS in their last five vs. Atlantic Coast. This is also a good day of the week for Dayton which is 4-1-1 ATS in its last six Friday games. 

Syracuse is stumbling into the tournament losing five of its last six games while Dayton made it to the Atlantic 10 Tournament semifinal where it lost to eventual champion St. Joseph’s.

The Seawolves are 0-5-2 ATS in their last seven games overall while the Wildcats are 5-0 ATS in their last five. The SEC tournament champions have an experienced squad and coaches having reached the Final Four in each of their last four NCAA Tournament appearances while Stony Brook is making its first NCAA Tournament appearance.

The Butler Bulldogs are 5-1 ATS in their last six overall and I like them to win and cover the spread against the Texas Tech Red Raiders Thursday afternoon. 

Texas Tech are 1-3 SU in its last four games and fell to last-place TCU in the Big 12 tournament. It is 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight vs. Big East and 3-13 ATS in its last 16 neutral site games. The Bulldogs had won three straight prior to a 74-60 loss to Providence in their conference tourney, but there's no shame in losing to such a strong team and they're 3-0-1 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss.

Let's take the points on North Florida Osprey against Florida Gators Tuesday night. 

North Florida lead the nation with 402 made 3-pointers and are averaging 84.8 points per game. Florida is very inconsistent both defensively and offensively and will struggle to stop the Osprey's shooting from behind the perimeter.

This looks like a good spot to back the Kentucky Wildcats in the SEC Tournament final. The Wildcats are a perfect 4-0 ATS in their last four overall and 20-8 ATS in their last 28 Sunday games. They'll be looking to revenge a 79-77 in overtime loss to Texas A&M on Feb. 20. 

The Aggies are 5-0 ATS in their last five games overall and off a 71-38 demolition of LSU yesterday. We can however note that Texas A&M is 3-9-1 ATS in its last 13 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points.

The reigning SEC Tournament the Wildcats are playing in the SEC tournament final for the sixth time in coach John Calipari’s seven years as head coach. The Aggies meanwhile are in their first conference tournament final since 1990. Easy play on the more experienced Wildcats.

I expect to see an easy win for the top-ranked Kansas Jayhawks as they take on the No. 20 Baylor Bears Friday night. 

The Jayhawks won both meetings during the regular season, 102-74 at home and 66-60 on the road. They're 6-0-1 ATS in the last seven meetings and took care of business easily yesterday with an 85-63 win against Kansas State. They're 5-0 ATS in their last five neutral site games and 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games overall.

The Bears impressed in a 75-61 win against the Longhorns, but they're 2-6 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up win and 0-4 ATS in their last four Friday games.

Kansas is coming in hot, riding a 12-game winning streak, and it has dominated this series in recent seasons. Easy Kansas win.

Florida has won four of the six previous meetings but Texas A&M took a 71-68 home win in the lone meeting this season and the Aggies have the advantage of coming in well rested since a 76-67 win at home over Vanderbilt Saturday while the Gators fought back Arkansas 68-61 yesterday.

The Ole Miss Rebels will take on the Alabama Crimson Tide in the second round of the SEC Tournament Thursday evening. 

Ole Miss is entering the tournament as winners of four of its last five and it's 9-3-1 ATS in its last 13 overall. Alabama on the other hand struggled down the stretch (0-5 ATS last five) and rely too much on senior guard Retin Obasohan. The Rebels have a more balanced team and have owned the Crimson Tie in recent seasons, winning seven of the last 10 head-to-head meetings, a 74-66 home victory on Jan. 7 included.

I'm taking the points on Penn State Nittany Lions against the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Big 10 Tournament Thursday night.

Penn State will be looking to revenge a 66-46 loss to the Buckeyes on Jan. 25. It won four of its last six regular season games and is 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 neutral site games. The Buckeyes on the other hand are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 neutral site games.

Ohio State wrapped up the season winning six of seven with the lone loss against Michigan State. This spread looks too large though so I recommend taking the the points on the Nittany Lions.

This looks like a good spot to back the Michigan Wolverines as they take on the Northwestern Wildcats in the second round of the Big 10 Tournament.

The Wolverines beat Northwestern 72-63 in their only meeting of the season. They lost four of five games down the stretch of the regular season, the most recent a 71-61 setback against Iowa. We can however note that they're 14-5 ATS last 19 following a double-digit loss at home. and a solid 27-9-1 ATS last 37 Thursday games.

The Wildcats meanwhile are only 4-10 ATS last 14 Thursday games and 1-4 ATS in their last five games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Play: Pittsburgh Panthers
Rating: 8*

The Pittsburgh Panthers have already defeated the Syracuse Orange twice this season (72-61 & 66-52). I expect them to get the job done in the second round of the ACC Tournament at Greensboro Coliseum Wednesday afternoon.

The Orange are coming into this contest as losers of two in a row and four of their last five games. They're 2-5 ATS in their last seven games against teams with winning records and 6-19-1 ATS in the last 26 meetings with the Panthers. Pittsburgh is coming off back-to-back losses at the hands of Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech, but it is 10-2 ATS in its last 12 games following an ATS loss and 4-1 ATS in its last five neutral site games.

Syracuse is struggling with its rebounding game and has been out-rebounded by a combined margin of 205 to 149 over its last five games. Pitt won the battle on the boards 43 to 23 in the last meeting and such grittiness and determination should prove crucial in this matchup.

The Zags are a fantastic 10-1 ATS in their last 11 Monday games and 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall. The Cougars are a lowly 1-6 ATS in their last seven Monday games and just 3-8-1 ATS in the last 12 head-to-head meetings with the Zags. The Bulldogs won 71-68 at BYU on Feb. 27 and should get the job done in their own gymnasium tonight.

The Temple Owls have already claimed the top seed in the AAC tourney but I think they'll come to play when visiting last-place Tulane Green Wave Sunday afternoon. 

The Owls have won three of four since a non-conference loss to then-No. 1 Villanova, the most recent a 10-point victory against Memphis. They're 7-1 ATS in their last eight road games vs. a team with a losing home record while the Green Wave have lost three of their last four at home and they're 7-20-1 ATS in their last 28 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

There's a huge difference in quality between these two teams, and homecourt advantage won't be nearly enough to make up for it.

BYU swept the season series this year, winning 97-61 at home January 7 and 96-62 on the road February 13, and it should get the job done on neutral ground in Vegas today.

The Cougars closed out the regular season with a loss 71-68 home loss to Gonzaga, but they're 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven after a straight up loss and 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 after an ATS loss.

The Arizona Wildcats will come into this contest looking to revenge a  74-73 loss at Berkeley on Jan. 23. They're still 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and we can note that they were without freshman guard Allonzo Trier who has averaged 18 points over his last five games.

The California Golden Bears are far worse on the road than at home sitting on a 3-8 SU record away from Haas Pavilion. They're 1-4 ATS in their last five road games vs. a team with a winning home record while the Wildcats are a solid 15-1 SU at home and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.

The Wildcats are off back-to-back losses at Colorado and Utah, but I expect them to win big in their own building Thursday night.

The Providence Friars will close out their home schedule with a matchup against the Creighton Bluejays Wednesday night, and I think they'll want to put on a show for the home town crowd.

Providence has already defeated Creighton once this season, a 50-48 road win on Jan. 12, and it is 10-3 ATS in its last 13 home games vs. a team with a losing road record (Creighton is 4-6 SU on the road). They're off a 87-66 blowout victory over DePaul and have usually been able to capitalize on the momentum gained from big wins as they're 6-2 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up win of more than 20 points.

The Bluejays ended a two-game losing streak with a 100-59 rout of St. John’s at home Saturday, but this won't be an easy game and we can note that they're 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings with the Friars.

I'm gonna take a stab at the North Carolina Tar Heels as they host the Syracuse Orange Monday night. 

The Tar Heels are off a 79-74 loss at Virginia Saturday, but keep in mind that when North Carolina lost to Duke at home on Feb. 17, they beat Miami by 25 in their next game. They need to win here to have any aspirations of winning the ACC and they beat the Orange 84-73 on the road on Jan. 9. Syracuse avoided a third straight loss Saturday when it defeated North Carolina State 75-66. It's just 4-11-1 ATS in its last 16 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600 though and I expect the Tar Heels to make this a very one-sided affair.

The Badgers won their second straight and ninth in the last 10 with a 67-59 road upset of #8 Iowa Wednesday. They're 8-1 ATS in their last nine after a straight up win and 7-1 ATS in their last eight vs. teams with a winning record.

The Oklahoma Sooners defeated Oklahoma State 71-49 at home on Wednesday, but they're 0-4 ATS in their last four games following a straight up win of more than 20 points and a lowly 3-11 ATS in their last 14 Saturday games.

The Panthers had lost three straight prior to a demanding 101-96 2OT win against the 1-13 Wake Forest at home Tuesday.

They're 14-2 in conference play and can pretty much seal up the conference title with a win here against the 12-4 Iona. The Hawks claimed a 110-102 win on the road in the first meeting this season last month, and while the Gaels have won five of their last six, keep in mind that they're just 1-4 ATS in their last five on the road vs. teams with home winning percentage greater than .600

We can also note that they're a perfect 14-0 SU (10-4 ATS) at home this season and they won 79-69 at Nebraska on Jan. 2.

The Spiders are 0-7 ATS in their last seven Tuesday games and 2-6 ATS in their last eight games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. They beat visiting Fordham 71-67 on Saturday to make it three consecutive wins, but keep in mind that the Wildcats have won 31 of their past 33 at home and their only loss there this year was by 10 to a very strong VCU team.

The Bulldogs are coming off a 74-57 loss to Xavier their last time out, the same Musketeers team the Bluejays defeated 70-56 last Tuesday. The Bulldogs are just 1-7 ATS in their last eight games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 while the Bluejays are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.

The Terriers have won seven of their last 11 games and they're 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight overall. They've won six of their last eight home at home and defeated LIU 64-49 on the road on Jan. 23. The Blackbirds are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games overall.
