05-15-17 | Wizards v. Celtics -5 | Top | 105-115 | Win | 100 | 6 h 33 m | Show |
The home team has dominated in this matchup between Boston and Washington. On highly noted factor is that on defense, the Wizards give up 99 points at home but a horribly escalating 122 points per game on the road. I have no evidence that the defense will all of a sudden change and bring a renewed effort. Washington has endured eight consecutive losses, five this season, on the Celtics' home floor. The home team is 11-0 between these two teams. The Wizards don't have an answer for Isiaah Thomas and Al Horford and the surrounding cast will step up at home and the Celtics have the better Head Coach. The point spread rarely comes in to play in game 7's so I look for the Celtics to pull away and get a double digit win. 10* |

05-12-17 | Celtics v. Wizards -5 | Top | 91-92 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 15 m | Show |
Look for the Wizards are win game 6 here at home and get the ATS win as well. The Celtics shot 65 percent from the field in the first quarter and 53 percent overall, including 16 of 33 on 3-point attempts in game 5 and that wont happen on the road now. The Wiz also struggled only shooting 38% and Washington PG John Wall handed out just four assists in Game 5 - his lowest total of the postseason. Also shooting guards Beal and Bojan Bogdanovic combined to go 8-of-26 from the floor - 1-of-8 from beyond the arc - in the loss. 5* |
|||||||
05-10-17 | Wizards +4.5 v. Celtics | Top | 101-123 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 23 m | Show |
The Wizards have the Celtics on their heels and it looks like they just might have an answer for PG Isaiah Thomas as he scored only 13 points in Game 3 and 19 points in Game 4. The Wizards have got out to fast starts in both games in Boston and we see that happening again tonight. Washington gets 5* |
|||||||
05-09-17 | Rockets v. Spurs -5 | Top | 107-110 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 23 m | Show |
Look for the Spurs at home to slow down the tempo and play their game and go up 3-2 in this series. 5* |
|||||||
05-07-17 | Spurs v. Rockets -5.5 | Top | 104-125 | Win | 100 | 11 h 20 m | Show |
So many of the Rockets role players had bad nights in Game 3, and I think a couple of them will step up and help James Harden keep Houston from falling into a 3-1 deficit. Houston is too good of a team to shoot that poorly again at home. I look for Houston to make a few changes and bounce back. The Spurs shot a sizzling 64% in the second half so we don't expect that to happen again either. This game could be a blowout for the Rockets like they had in game 1 with three point shots falling in from all over by the Rockets especially with their backs against the wall. 5* |
|||||||
05-05-17 | Spurs v. Rockets -5 | Top | 103-92 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 56 m | Show |
I don't think the loss of Tony Parker is going to make that much of a difference. He was the 4th scorer on his team and his backup Patty Mills averaged only 1 pt less than he did. 5* |
|||||||
05-04-17 | Celtics v. Wizards -5 | Top | 89-116 | Win | 100 | 8 h 31 m | Show |
The Wizards almost stole Game 2 in Boston but went to overtime and collapsed. That was a brutal loss if you had the Wizards covering that game but we saw they have what they need to stay with Boston and be competitive. I don't see I Thomas scoring 50 + here or the Celtics shooting as well on the road. Going back to Washington, the Wizards need to win to keep the series alive, and they’ll do it comfortably as Bradley Beal bounces back with a big game at home tonight. Wizards by 10. 10* GAME OF THE WEEK |
|||||||
05-03-17 | Rockets +5.5 v. Spurs | Top | 96-121 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 17 m | Show |
The Rockets are going to push the pace again and LaMarcus Aldridge has trouble getting up the court. Spurs Kawhi Leonard, has been getting them 30+/ game since the playoffs began - which is tough to handle when he gets the scoring bug but the Rockets have several players who can beat you from the outside. SA does not have an answer for James Harden and his scoring ability and his game control. I think it will be much closer than game 1 but I'll take the +5.5 pts with the Rockets on Wednesday night. 5* |
|||||||
04-30-17 | Wizards +4.5 v. Celtics | Top | 111-123 | Loss | -102 | 3 h 14 m | Show |
The Celtics didn't look great against the Bulls, losing both Games 1 & 2 at home. If it wasn't for an injury to Rajon Rondo, the Bulls would have likely won the series. Isaiah Thomas averaged 28.9 points per game this season, but is averaging roughly five points less in the playoffs on 3-of-26 shooting in his last three games. Thomas also has his sisters funeral and will be tired from the long flight cross country. Actually Porter is a great shooter for the Wiz along with Beal. Morris can be effective. Gortat is solid down low. The Wiz don't have a very reliable bench but I like them as an underdog here in game 1 Sunday. 5* |
|||||||
04-27-17 | Raptors v. Bucks -1 | Top | 92-89 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 9 m | Show |
The Toronto Raptors are 0-3 under HC Casey when it has had the chance to end a series in six games. The Bucks will be focused and hungry here at home coming off a game where they got beat on the boards pretty good. Giannis Antetokounmpo told reporters. "It's a learning process for us. We've got to do a better job." Antetokounmpo had 30 points and nine rebounds Monday night, while his teammates combined to grab only 14 boards, contributing to being outrebounded by 17 on the glass. In their 2 wins the Bucks won by 14 and 27 pts and I expect them to have another focused effort here tonight. 10* |
|||||||
04-26-17 | Hawks v. Wizards -6 | Top | 99-103 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 58 m | Show |
Atlanta had 7 players score in double digits in their last game at home. I dont see that happening again here on the road. 5* |
|||||||
04-25-17 | Thunder +7.5 v. Rockets | Top | 99-105 | Win | 100 | 10 h 35 m | Show |
Oklahoma City is the hungrier team and can knock down shots, the Thunder have proven it already, when they get the looks and Russell Westbrook gets his shots. He moves the ball around with precision - creating quality shots for teammates. Keeping everyone involved. THe Thunder have been playing solid defense on Harden and he is a bit banged up.
Oklahoma City stays within the number here tonight with their backs against the wall down 3-1 in the series. I like OKC plus the points. 5* |
|||||||
04-24-17 | Bucks +6 v. Raptors | Top | 93-118 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 10 m | Show |
The Raptors are overrated and not well coached. The Milw Bucks came out soft and content in game 4 because of the dominant win in game 3. Losing game 4 reignites the fire and focus. Bucks take game 5 and give themselves the chance to advance in front of their home fans in 6 I believe. I see Milwaukee and Jason Kidd adjusting better to Toronto's small lineup. And Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo shooting immensely better. Grab the points as play the underdog here on Monday with the BUCKS. 5* |
|||||||
04-23-17 | Celtics -2.5 v. Bulls | Top | 104-95 | Win | 100 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
I just do not see the Bulls taking a 3 games to 1 lead in this series especially with the injury to Rondo which opens huge doors for Isaiah Thomas. Â The Celtics relied on a balanced scoring attack to build their lead in that critical game three matchup. On the other hand, the Bulls struggled with pace in their first game playing without injured point guard Rajon Rondo. Unfortunately, the Bulls won't have a lot of time to make the adjustments they will need to get to within a game of closing out the Celtics. The Celtics shot a series-high 47.7% from the field which included 17 three-pointers, and played much stronger defense than in game two. Â Boston has got their swagger back on the road, away from the heavy hearts at home. Chicago can not win with Butler trying to score every trip down the floor. Boston played great team basketball and had 34 assists to Chicago's 14 assists. 10* SLAM DUNK |

04-22-17 | Wizards v. Hawks -2.5 | Top | 98-116 | Win | 100 | 10 h 32 m | Show |
You are never out of the playoffs until the visitors get a win on the road. That has not happened and I like Atlanta to bounce back here at home.  On the road, turnovers really affected the Hawks and they did not play to their potential. The Hawks turned it over 16 times in the second game, six of them in the 4th quarter. With 2 days to prepare for this game I look for big efforts from Milsap, Hardaway Jr and Schroder to come up big. 5* |
|||||||
04-21-17 | Celtics +2 v. Bulls | Top | 104-87 | Win | 100 | 21 h 43 m | Show |
One of the worst shooting teams(Chicago Bulls) made 10-25 threept shots so I dont expect that again and the Celtics to make the proper adjustments heading into this game 3 on Friday night. Brad Stevens is a great coach and I expect him to mix up the lineup and the Celtics to play much better. Boston is 24-10 off a loss this year and perhaps the Celtics need to get away from home to start playing up to their #1 seeding. This series isn't over and I look for Avery Bradley, Isaiah Thomas, Al Horford and Crowder to step up with a max effort. 10* GAME OF THE WEEK |
|||||||
04-20-17 | Spurs v. Grizzlies +4 | Top | 94-105 | Win | 100 | 12 h 58 m | Show |
Vince Carter and Mike Conley have to step up at home. The Griz need to score more in the paint and not keep getting outrebounded. I also dont expect the Spurs to shoot and make 31-32 FT's. Memphis has always gotten off to a slow start in games. Their turnover ratio is on the backend and getting off early is vital. The Memphis aging star, Zach Randolph has only put up 15ppg and 41% shooting over the last several games so expect a better effort here at home and down 0-2 in the series. 5* |
|||||||
04-18-17 | Bucks v. Raptors -7.5 | Top | 100-106 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 26 m | Show |
Losing Game 1 of a playoff series is nothing new for Toronto. The Raptors couldn't have looked worse in the second half. I expect them to bounce back in game 2 and I think we are getting some good value. 5* |
|||||||
04-17-17 | Pacers v. Cavs -8 | Top | 111-117 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 36 m | Show |
The Cavs were fortunate to escape Game 1 with a victory, and the Game 2 line has shrunk as a result. But a closer look shows that the Cavs missed 13 FT's and got outrebounded in that game. 5* |
|||||||
04-16-17 | Hawks +5 v. Wizards | Top | 107-114 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 52 m | Show |
The Atlanta Hawks are playing with triple revenge here on Sunday. Really comes down to Schroeder, Milsap, and Dwight. If 2 of 3 play well consistently, the Hawks have a legit shot of winning this series. Throw in Bazemore plus Tim Hardaway Jr and they are a solid team.

04-08-17 | Heat v. Wizards -5.5 | Top | 106-103 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 44 m | Show |
Washington is 30-10 at home while the Heat have had a tough schedule and struggle on the road. 10* NBA Game of the Week |

04-06-17 | Nets +2.5 v. Magic | Top | 107-115 | Loss | -102 | 7 h 15 m | Show |
The Nets go for a season high 4th straight win tonight. They have covered seven of their past eight road games and playing some good ball. The Magic have lost five straight games overall, giving up an average of 121 points. Brooklyn score be able to score with Lin and Lopez leading the way. 5* |
|||||||
04-05-17 | Nuggets v. Rockets -8.5 | Top | 104-110 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 48 m | Show |
Houston is a very good team at home and can knock down the 3-ball.
5* |
|||||||
04-03-17 | North Carolina v. Gonzaga +1.5 | Top | 71-65 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 30 m | Show |
I'm going with Gonzaga tonight as they are an underdog for the 1st time this season. What's not to like about a team that takes smart shots, squares up, and shoots 50 percent from the field. They've also got a defense that allows only 37 percent shooting. They've already been battle tested against tough teams like WV and SC. North Carolina has been hanging by a thread, and needed late free-throw rebounds to beat Oregon by one in a game it should have won by double figures and they got by Kentucky by just 2 pts. Gonzaga has the size and skill inside with Zach Collins and Przemek Karnowski to compete on the boards with NC. Take GONZAGA here on Championship Monday. 5* |
|||||||
04-01-17 | Oregon +5 v. North Carolina | Top | 76-77 | Win | 100 | 10 h 20 m | Show |
Oregon has great guards that can hit 3's and drive to the basket. The NC guards are prone to foul trouble. The Ducks just whipped top-seeded Kansas in a game that was never really in doubt in the second half. Remember, Kansas entered that Elite Eight game looking invincible. While North Carolina deserves to be favored, this one will go down to the wire and I'm taking the 5 points with Oregon in this one. 5* |
|||||||
04-01-17 | South Carolina v. Gonzaga -6 | Top | 73-77 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 20 m | Show |
Gonzaga is a solid all around team. They can offset any defensive adjustment South Carolina may make with a balanced inside-outside attack. They also have the ability to play at a fast or slow tempo. That'll be a challenge for a South Carolina team that has exceeded their regular-season offensive and defensive standards. I don't think SC will be able to keep up offensively. Gonzaga is legit and Mark Few has done a masterful job of implementing the offense around Colins and Karnowski. This team plays two 7- footers and they are both good. Gonzaga is simply too deep and talented for South Carolina to hang. For Gonzaga is everything South Carolina is, but better. Led by Williams-Goss, the 3 guard attack has versatility and depth. Then there is the interior where a pair of 7 footers Karnowski and Colins patrol the paint and its tough for teams to drive and penetrate inside. But the real difference maker for the Zags has been Missouri transfer, Williams, for whom South Carolina may have no answer. South Carolina has a great defense but Gonzaga has an even better defense and a top 15 offense. Zags can play a slow game in fact they can adjust to any style and I can see them winning by double digits on Saturday night. 10* |
|||||||
03-31-17 | Coastal Carolina +8.5 v. Wyoming | Top | 59-83 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 56 m | Show |
Coastal Carolina Chanticleers have been afforded a few days to adjust to the sky-high altitude in Laramie and coming off a 24 pt loss in the CBI championship series. Their coach, Cliff Ellis, is a master and will make the proper adjustments for tonight. I expect a close game between these 2 teams as they've seen each other now 3 times in the past week. Take the underdog here on Friday. 5* |
|||||||
03-30-17 | Nets v. Pistons -6 | Top | 89-90 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 41 m | Show |
The reeling Pistons have lost five straight and eight of their last nine to fall out of the playoff race. They are 3 games back with 7 games remaining so they need to get fired up here at home where they play well. Look for the Pistons to push the tempo and get a lot of easy buckets. I like the Pistons winning by double figures as they are playing at home with double revenge. 10* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK! |
|||||||
03-29-17 | Coastal Carolina v. Wyoming -8 | Top | 57-81 | Win | 100 | 9 h 37 m | Show |
Why would anyone lay this many points, two days after the underdog whipped the favorite by 10? The oddsmakers are smart- Thats why! Wyoming normally has a huge home edge as they are the highest altitude home court (over 7,000 ft) but while Coastal Carolina has to fly to Wyoming with only one day between games. Two Coastal Carolina players -- Colton Rat-St. Cyr and Demario Beck -- suffered knee injuries that might sideline them. Coastal has yet to play a road game in the CBI. It must adjust to altitude that could slow its up-tempo offense. The Cowboys are plus-five at home for point differential, while Coastal is minus-11 on the road. 5* |
|||||||
03-28-17 | CS Bakersfield +2.5 v. Georgia Tech | Top | 61-76 | Loss | -102 | 7 h 2 m | Show |
We roll tonight with little Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners, nobody ever heard of them. They are very underrated and 75% of the public is on GT tonight. They beat CAL, Colorado St, UT Arlington all on the road. 10* NIT GAME OF THE YEAR |
|||||||
03-26-17 | South Carolina +3.5 v. Florida | Top | 77-70 | Win | 100 | 5 h 31 m | Show |
If South Carolina can beat Duke and steamroll Baylor, I just can not see them losing to Florida. The Gators like to fire up 3-pointers and if they are on they are tough to beat. South Carolina advances to its first Elite Eight in program history after making it to the Sweet 16 for the first time. Martin's squad is a defensive force. It limited Baylor to just 30 percent shooting, forcing 16 turnovers and holding the Bears to a season-tying-low 22 first-half points. Frank Martin is a great coach and motivator and has the SEC player of the year in Thornwell and the BEST DEFENSIVE team left in the tournament. We'll take the points with SC +3.5 5* |
|||||||
03-25-17 | Xavier v. Gonzaga -7.5 | Top | 59-83 | Win | 100 | 8 h 35 m | Show |
Gonzaga looks to punch its ticket to the Final Four and make it to the Championship game for the first time in school history. The Bulldogs haven’t been steam-rolling opponents like many predicted that they would, but they’ve been getting a balanced attack. Xavier looks poised for a letdown here though after its big upset of Arizona. Gonzaga held WVU to just 26% shooting from the floor and only 5 of 23 from 3-pt range. Look for Gonz to have another dominant game and great defensive play and to find a way to get the job and get the cover. Xavier also struggles from the FT line and I think that may be the different here on Saturday. Look for the Zags to win by 10 or more. 5* |
|||||||
03-24-17 | UCLA v. Kentucky +1.5 | Top | 75-86 | Win | 100 | 10 h 2 m | Show |
Kentucky is a completely different team and has improved especially on Defense which is smothering. They are also playing with revenge here tonight and should have more fans at this game than UCLA. Kentucky starts 4 freshman and they are just hitting their groove right now. I have Kentucky 3.2 points better in my power ratings and give them a point for a home edge in Memphis while they played the first round in Indianapolis. UCLA played their first round in San Jose and now has to travel cross country. Ucla with my #2 offense but #81 defense while Kentucky has my #11 offense and #13 defense. Significant coaching edge as well for the Wildcats and some distractions for the Bruins. Lets back Kentucky here on Friday night. 10* |
|||||||
03-23-17 | Michigan -1 v. Oregon | Top | 68-69 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 8 m | Show |
Oregon is a solid team but the loss of Boucher when he got injured really hurts them. He completes that team and as good of a shot blocker Bell is, Oregon just doesn't have that interior presence on defense anymore. Everybody underrates Michigan because of the record/resume but that fact of the matter is they've been playing like a top 10 team since the beginning of February. Michigan has all 5 starters who can stretch the floor and knock down threes. And that's not including Robinson coming off the bench who might be the best 3 point shooter in the nation. The fact Michigan will knock down around ten 3's a game and a very good FT team shooting near 80% will be the difference. Lastly, Michigan lead the country in fewest turnovers per game and I like them to get the WIN here on Thursday night. 10* |
|||||||
03-22-17 | Utah Valley v. Wyoming -3.5 | Top | 68-74 | Win | 100 | 8 h 21 m | Show |
Wyoming has been a very good team at home going 16-3 on the season. These two teams are almost mirror images of each other. They rank #13 and #14 in adjusted tempo and both shoot a very high number of 3-pointers. Both teams take about half of their shots from behind the arch (Wyom 45.9%, UV 45.6%) and the Cowboys have a better 3-pt offense (#170 & #41) then the UV Wolverines do (#282 & #70). Wyoming is home for a 3rd straight CBI game while Utah Valley is the only team left in the tourney that is playing a third straight road game, which will have more of an effect with the country’s highest altitude home court and both teams playing a second game in 3 days. I'm backing the Wyoming Cowboys here at home. 10* Sure Shot |
|||||||
03-22-17 | Pacers v. Celtics -7 | Top | 100-109 | Win | 100 | 7 h 58 m | Show |
The Celtics are 24-9 at home and the Pacers are terrible on the road. The Pacers have alternated wins and losses in their last 13 games and most of the losses were not close. Indy won their game on Monday. The Celtics won both games against the Pacers this season -- both in Indianapolis. Look for IsishThomas to lead the way and Boston to get a double digit win here at home. 5* |
|||||||
03-21-17 | Georgia Tech v. Ole Miss -5.5 | Top | 74-66 | Loss | -102 | 7 h 51 m | Show |
Ole Miss wants to play in the NIT and they are thrilled to get that chance. GT is a good team at home but does not play well on the road. This MISS team started playing much better near the tail end of the regular season and it showed including beating South Carolina at home by 5 points, losing to Arkansas by just 1 point in the SEC Tournament, beating Syracuse on the road by 5 points, beating Monmouth by 8 points on the road, beating Vandy by 7 points on the road and losing to Florida by just 7 points on the road as well. This is a team that is top 60 in offense and top 100 in defense I like the Rebels to win by double-digits tonight. 5* |
|||||||
03-21-17 | Richmond +7.5 v. TCU | Top | 68-86 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 49 m | Show |
The Richmond Spiders had a better year than most were expecting standing 22-12 overall and 8-5 in true road tests. They also have 3 seniors on the team who are from Texas so they will be fired up for this game and a chance to goto MSG. Richmond surprised everyone finishing in a tie for third place in the A-10 going 13-5 in conference and this group had a knack for coming through in a number of close games. The Spiders are led by veteran forward T.J. Cline who’s averaging an impressive 18.1 points and 5.6 assists per game. 5* |
|||||||
03-20-17 | CS Bakersfield v. Colorado State -4.5 | Top | 81-63 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 58 m | Show |
I've got a strong play on this second-round NIT game Monday night. Bakersfield is a very defensive team with a very poor offense. Colorado State is 5-1-1 ATS in its last seven home games, a trend I believe will continue. Colorado St has experienced guards including the MWC Player of the Year, Gian Clavell, and are 21st in fewest TO’s allowed. Moby Arena is at 5,000 feet which helps the home team as the rams are 9-3 ATS as a fav and tough at home. 5* |
|||||||
03-19-17 | Cincinnati +4 v. UCLA | Top | 67-79 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 3 m | Show |
Bearcats can win this game. UCLA struggles against teams that defend well. Arizona beat UCLA and their style is similar to Bearcats Cincy defends the perimeter very well and pressures the guards. They also own the defensive glass. UCLA's big men don't have the athleticism to match up with Cincy. They are slow to react and struggle to position themselves when boxing out. Ball has his hip injury and may still get his points but Alford and the UCLA big men wont. I'm backing Cincy in this one.Â
5* |

03-19-17 | Rhode Island +5.5 v. Oregon | Top | 72-75 | Win | 100 | 8 h 16 m | Show |
Rhode Island has an 9 game winning streak and playing their best ball of the season. They are well coached and play solid defense. I cant figure out how RI an a #11 seed when all their losses came earlier in the season when their top players were hurt and they have been destroying everyone for the past six weeks. Oregon is without their top forward Chris Boucher and his 12 points/6 rebounds per game. I like RI to keep it close with EC Mathews and Hassan Martin who both average over 14 ppg. Look for RI and HC Danny Hurley to possible pull the upset and keep this one within the ATS cover. 10* |

03-19-17 | Mavs -4.5 v. Nets | Top | 111-104 | Win | 100 | 2 h 5 m | Show |
The horrible Nets have split their last four games, and they are coming off a very respectable 3-point loss to the Celtics. Dallas just lost by 42 points to the 76ers and coming off their worst shooting game of the season. Also the road team has covered eight of the past 10 in this series and Dallas needs this game for a playoff push. Mavs by 8 5* |
|||||||
03-18-17 | Virginia +2 v. Florida | Top | 39-65 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 44 m | Show |
Both teams survived first-round scares, as Virginia trailed a good portion of the way against UNC Wilmington and Florida outlasted East Tennessee State. I like the best defensive team in the country here on this matchup. The frontcourt of Florida lack some quickness, and the Cavs perimeter defense will keep the Gators in check. I like VIRGINIA to outrebound Florida here too and pull away in the 2nd half. 5* |
|||||||
03-18-17 | Middle Tennessee +4.5 v. Butler | Top | 65-74 | Loss | -115 | 21 h 44 m | Show |
MTSU wins this game from what I see. This isn't your typical #12 seed. They were favored over Minny and I like them over Butler in this one. Middle Tenn St won 18 road games this year and they seem to have the right chemistry. What's really crazy is that Potts and Williams hasn't had that breakout game yet and didn't shoot particularly well vs Minnesota. They were cold first game. Sometimes some players can get intimidated when going to the rim - not Jacorey Williams, he will drive without concern, and he plays very hard all the time. Which is what you like to see if you're a Middle Tennessee St. fan. He has the ability to get by pretty much any defense he goes against. For being a long guy, Williams can get through making some nifty moves to get through a clogged lane. The Butler deep ball game has really fallen off with their poor shooting on the offensive end of the court as of late, and that’s hurt them in trying to turn around their up and down play. Middle Tenn St, we'll see you in Memphis as they win and advance on Saturday night. 10* GAME OF THE WEEK |
|||||||
03-18-17 | Wisconsin +6 v. Villanova | Top | 65-62 | Win | 100 | 6 h 59 m | Show |
Wisconsin is moving the ball well as of late, playing more as a team versus individual. They are a very talented #8 seed. Bronson Koenig is playing great and moving without the ball and letting Trice run the point has been a huge improvement to this team. If they stay away from Koenig dribbling the ball for 20-25 seconds on possessions and Nigel settling for long jumpers I fully expect Wisconsin to win this game in a close one. The Badgers have recent Final Four experience and one of the best post players in the country in 7-footer Ethan Happ, who is sure to cause matchup nightmares. If Wisconsin can continue to produce from the outside, as it did in its first-round win over Virginia Tech, this has all the makings of going down to the wire. 98% of the public is also loving Nova but we'll buck the public and take the points with Wisky here on Saturday afternoon. 5* |

03-17-17 | Rhode Island -1 v. Creighton | Top | 84-72 | Win | 100 | 7 h 42 m | Show |
Rhode Island has an 8 game winning streak and playing their best ball of the season. I cant figure out how RI an a #11 seed when all their losses came earlier in the season when their top players were hurt and they have been destroying everyone for the past six weeks while Creighton is reeling RI is led by EC Mathews and Hassan Martin who both average over 14 ppg. Look for RI and HC Danny Hurley to get a convincing win here on Friday evening. 10* |

03-17-17 | Seton Hall +1.5 v. Arkansas | Top | 71-77 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 46 m | Show |
Seton Hall has won 6 of their last 8 games and 2 of those losses were to Villanova. Seton Hall is clearly the better defensive team in this matchup and defense is where I tend to lean towards the end of March. As long as the Pirates can make free throws and dont get into early foul trouble they should win this game. 5* |

03-16-17 | Virginia Tech v. Wisconsin -5.5 | Top | 74-84 | Win | 100 | 11 h 25 m | Show |
Wisconsin knows how to win in March and I like them tonight minus this small number. The Badgers were the second-best team in the Big 10. They received little respect from the committee and oddsmakers alike, because they are better than an No. 8 seed and this spread is too light. This team still has quite a bit of Final Four experience and one of the best big men in the country in Ethan Happ. He will pose a matchup nightmare for the Hokies, who also tend to turn the ball over against good defensive teams. Wisconsin pulls away in the 2nd half and wins by double figures. 10* Oddsmaker Mistake play |

03-16-17 | Bucknell +14 v. West Virginia | Top | 80-86 | Win | 100 | 4 h 26 m | Show |
Bucknell will play fundamentally sound. They will try to push the ball before WVU can set rhe press. If WVU doesnt get off to a fast start and they start missing foul shots, it could be a repeat of last year. I think West Virginia is overlooking the team. We’re already hearing the Mountaineers talk about not looking ahead to a potential matchup against Notre Dame in the next round. Just too many points here and I like Bucknell with the points. 5* |

03-15-17 | South Dakota v. Iowa -10.5 | Top | 75-87 | Win | 100 | 8 h 30 m | Show |
Iowa was very good at home going 14-4 and hosting S Dakota tonight. Freshman-laden Iowa got whipped by Indiana in the Big Ten Tournament and ended up as a No. 1 seed in the NIT. Before that loss, the Hawkeyes were playing well, winning four in a row and covering each. That included victories at Wisconsin and Maryland. Iowa has more height and rebounding for this game and should win by 15 or more on Wednesday night. 5* |

03-15-17 | NC-Greensboro v. Syracuse -12 | Top | 77-90 | Win | 100 | 50 h 39 m | Show |
We've got some drama here. Syracuse takes on a UNC-Greensboro team that hails from the city coach Jim Boeheim despises. While Greensboro is a solid team, I still believe the Spartans are reeling from losing in the Southern Conference final to East Tennessee State. Syracuse is very good at home and I beleive NC-Greensboro will struggle to score against their matchup zone. Look for the Orange to continue the dominance it has shown this season in the Carrier Dome. 5* |

03-14-17 | Boise State +11.5 v. Utah | Top | 73-68 | Win | 100 | 10 h 47 m | Show |
Utah won their last 3 regular reason games to get to 20 wins but lost their opening Pac-12 game and missed out on the Big Dance. After getting to and winning a tournament game each of the last 2Y including getting to the Sweet 16 2Y ago this is a letdown. Boise did not make any post-season tournament LY plus they are at 19 wins giving them double motivation. Utah not one to blow teams out (2-6 ATS as DD Home Fav) and we’ll take the points here in this one. 5* |
|||||||
03-12-17 | Cincinnati +2 v. SMU | Top | 56-71 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 23 m | Show |
Cincinnati has built their foundation on defense as the Bearcats rank 4th in the nation in total defense. SMU doesn't have have great depth, so I think that will be a factor today. It's true SMU has won 15 straight games, but the last time the Mustangs lost, it was to Cincinnati. These teams split during the regular season. Sunday's championship game will be a defensive slugfest but the Bearcats are more physical and I expect them to get to the FT line more. Look for Cincy to use their fierce defensive principles and grind out a win as an underdog here on Sunday. 5* |

03-11-17 | Creighton v. Villanova -9.5 | Top | 60-74 | Win | 100 | 6 h 8 m | Show |
Don’t mind backing the nation’s best team off a grind it out come from behind win. Seton Hall and their deliberate offense caused them troubles again while Creighton’s 12 point win gives us line value. Blue Jays lost potential Player of the Year Mo Watson in mid-January and finished going 0-4 SU/ATS as a dog. 5* |

03-11-17 | Davidson v. Rhode Island -4 | Top | 60-84 | Win | 100 | 2 h 44 m | Show |
We’ll go right back to Rhode Island as they did what was expected yesterday and now face Davidson who is off an upset win against the A-10 Champs Dayton. Rhode Island has won 6 in a row and playing their best ball of the season. I'll back them here in the early action on Saturday afternoon. 5* |

03-11-17 | Michigan -3.5 v. Minnesota | Top | 84-77 | Win | 100 | 3 h 37 m | Show |
Huge blow to Minnesota with Springs possibly out for the season because of that Achilles injury suffered on Friday afternoon in the 2nd half. Guard depth could become an issue now for the Gophers. Michigan is shooting the ball very well right now, getting to the FT line and also outrebounding their opponents. Those are all ingredients for a victory on Saturday afternoon.5*

03-10-17 | Utah Valley v. CS Bakersfield -4.5 | Top | 80-81 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 29 m | Show |
CAL St Bakersfield was 12-2 in conference play and the much better team in my opinion here. The WAC has 8 teams with only 7 eligible so only the top seed got a bye which is Bakersfield. Utah Valley beat Seattle last night but shot only 26% in the 2H and that was against my #202 defense and now they play my #24 defense of Cal St Bakersfield and will struggle to score. CAL ST by 10, 5* |
|||||||
03-10-17 | Duke v. North Carolina -4 | Top | 93-83 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 26 m | Show |
I like the Heels in this one mainly because Duke has already played two close games in two days, not to mention they aren't the deepest team in the world. Meanwhile, the NC Heels didn't have to use too much energy to beat Miami as the game was out of reach pretty early. Now is the time when the extra day makes a difference. Duke playing their third game in 3 days and off a heavy weight title fight versus a physical Louisville team. I like NC BIG in this one. 10* Conf Tournament Game of the Year |

03-09-17 | CS-Northridge v. CS-Fullerton -2.5 | Top | 68-81 | Win | 100 | 7 h 2 m | Show |
Short line here as Fullerton was a 4 pt HF and lost 70-65 on Jan 7th then beat Northridge on Mar 4th as a 3 pt AD. Teams headed in opposite directions as Fullerton has won 6 of their last 7 games (5-1-1 ATS) and the loss was understandable as it came at Hawaii three days after upsetting Cal Irvine. Northridge has lost 6 straight (1-5 ATS) and their streak is also understandable as they lost their PG to an Achilles injury 8 games ago. Take Cal State Fullerton. 5* |

03-09-17 | New Mexico +2.5 v. Fresno State | Top | 60-65 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 49 m | Show |
New Mexico was picked 2nd in the MW but finished only 10-8 in conference action as the #5 seed. The reason is that all conf forward Tim Williams missed 7 games. He’s back and it changes the way you have to defense New Mexico not playing a zone and one on Elijah Brown (MW leading scored LY, #3 TY). The Lobos are now a confident bunch and are also the nation’s best FT shooting team which comes into play against Fresno which presses a lot and has a great deal of fouls called on them. 5* |
|||||||
03-09-17 | East Carolina v. Temple -5 | Top | 80-69 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 49 m | Show |
These teams split their regular-season meetings, each winning handily at home. But Temple is 4-0 ATS in its last four neutral-site games, and I see Temple taking care of business. Temple is well coached and they also swept Memphis in league play, so there is something there. ECU is a lost cause. They are one of the worst programs in the country and I simply can't see them winning this game. 5* |
|||||||
03-08-17 | Southeastern Louisiana +1 v. Lamar | Top | 65-77 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 42 m | Show |
This is a nic spot here for SE Louisiana. This is a Louisiana team that lost to Lamar by 20 points earlier this year but this is a team trending upwards. For example, this is a team that just beat New Orleans by 5 points on the road, is top 25 when it comes to offensive rebounding and top 110 when it comes to 3 point shooting. Dont' be surprised at all to see SE Louisiana do well here and get revenge against Lamar from the 20 point loss earlier this year and likely get it done. 5* |

03-08-17 | Raptors v. Pelicans -2 | Top | 94-87 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 54 m | Show |
Toronto will once again be without Lowry and in their 1st meeting this year he had 33 pts and the Raptors outrebounded the Pelicans by 9. That wont happen here on Wednesday night. New Orleans was held to a season low shooting in their last game of 37%. Jrue Holiday was held to four points after averaging 20.1 over the previous 19 games and New Orleans added Jordan Crawford to their roster. New Orleans is currently 4.5 games behind Denver for the No. 8 seed in the West. Look for DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis to both have huge games and the Pelicans to win by 8 or more on Wednesday night. 10* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK |

03-08-17 | UNLV v. San Diego State -9 | Top | 52-62 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show |
San Diego St was they overwhelming favorite to win the MW regular season title and instead they come in with a chip on their shoulder as a #6 seed. The Aztecs have been to the conference finals 3 straight years and have won 9 straight opening round games. UNLV most likely will be without their leading rebounder Tyrell Green who has a knee injury in the regular season finale. The Rebels have lost 10 of their last 11 games with 6 of their last 7 by double digits. SD ST’s #49 defense will shut down UNLV which has been held to 43.5% shooting or less in their last 19 games. 5* |
|||||||
03-07-17 | Boston College +13 v. Wake Forest | Top | 78-92 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 39 m | Show |
We’re playing on a team that is again on a lengthy losing streak but more so playing against Wake Forest as a DD favorite. The venue being shifted out of NC hurts Wake as they would have had some casual fans. The Demon Deacons off B2B upset wins to finish the regular also benefits us. WF was an ACC favorite 5 times this season going 2-3 ATS with 4 games at home and one on the road. Of those 5 they were favored in both meetings against BC and while they won both they did not cover either winning 79-66 at home (-15) and 85-80 at BC (-6.5). I like the underdog here with BC plus the points to keep this one close throughout. 5* |

03-06-17 | Central Michigan +8.5 v. Kent State | Top | 106-116 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 23 m | Show |
The first round of the MAC tourney is at the higher seed so we are at Kent St. I don’t mind backing a team in the conf tournaments that is playing on a long losing streak as they play very lose with nothing to lose and a chance to advance. Central Michigan only has 6 MAC wins but one of those was here back on Jan 28 as they pulled the upset 105-98. Kent St has not been a good favorite and in fact they are 1-5 ATS as a MAC Home Fav and the one win was by only 3 points as a 1.5 pt fav. Central Mich has my #49 offense and the nation’s leading scorer with Marcus Keene and his 30 ppg. Lastly in the Kent Golden Flashes last 17 games they are 7-1-1 ATS when holding their opponent to 69 points or less and they 0-8 ATS when allowing 70 points or more. Take the UNDERDOG here tonight with CENTRAL MICHIGAN. 10* |

03-05-17 | Celtics v. Suns +6.5 | Top | 106-109 | Win | 100 | 7 h 19 m | Show |
The Suns have been very good at home over the past month. A big reason for the Suns' rise in the Western rankings has been the play of Alan Williams off the Phoenix bench. The second-year power forward had totaled 41 points in his previous 44 games before exploding for 16, 17, 11, 16 and 14 off the bench in his last five, producing three double-doubles along the way. Bledsoe and Booker are also 2 tough guards for the Suns. I expect this to be a close game throughout and I'm taking the home underdog with the Phoenix Suns. 5* |
|||||||
03-04-17 | Florida v. Vanderbilt +4 | Top | 71-73 | Win | 100 | 5 h 42 m | Show |
Vanderbilt shocked the Gators in Gainesville 68-66, becoming the only team to beat Florida on its campus this year. Vanderbilt has Florida's number and they are a decent team, winner of four of their last five and just gave Kentucky all they could handle. The Commodores are 88th in the nation in scoring defense as they give up an average of 68.9 points per game. Vanderbilt's resume is unique. According to CBSsports.com's RPI, the Commodores have the No. 2 strength of schedule in the country -- that should rise to No. 1, since the Gators are No. 3 in the RPI -- and the toughest out-of-conference slate, too. This is Vandy's final regular season game and a MUST WIN if they want to make it into the big dance. They have a unique arena and with their defense, scoring could be difficult for the Gators. Vanderbilt knows how to connect from the 3-point line led by Luke Kornet and that will be the difference this afternoon as Vandy has 4 players averaging 10 or more points and have a balanced attack and get the upset this afternoon at home. 10* GAME OF THE MONTH |

03-03-17 | Nets v. Jazz -13.5 | Top | 97-112 | Win | 100 | 9 h 39 m | Show |
Utah is very good at home with a 20-12 record and coming off a rare loss. Brooklyn is awful on the road and coming off a rare win and just 3-25 on the road this season. Utah has had very efficient rebounding, especially from Rudy Gobert - on the offensive boards in particular, he tires teams out. With about 4/ game - he makes the most of his time under the glass. Banging in the paint is how they can make their living, and the Jazz will be bringing it all game long. Gordon Hayward is coming off a subpar game and the team only shot 38%. Brooklyn does not always run the smoothest plays, especially after a quick timeout. Brook Lopez is the only real guy on the team who can take care of the offense for Brooklyn - but he is only human. Lopez matched up vs the bodies of the Jazz is a rough night. The Utah Jazz win by 20 points. 10* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK |

03-03-17 | The Citadel -2.5 v. Western Carolina | Top | 78-72 | Win | 100 | 3 h 24 m | Show |
I am rolling with the Citadel as a small favorite here for a variety of reasons and we have been watching them over the last few games to close out the Southern Conference and they are playing good ball right now. We never worry about a team's win and loss record. Here, you have a Citadel team who lost both times to Western Carolina by 5 and 4 points despite the fact they are indeed the better team. 5* |

03-02-17 | California v. Utah -1.5 | Top | 44-74 | Win | 100 | 12 h 6 m | Show |
The first meeting went into 2OT and Utah had 19 turnovers in that game and played sloppy. I expect them to be much better and focused at home tonight. Utah needs the win to avoid the possibility of falling squarely on the March Madness bubble heading into the conference tournament next week. The Utes dominated most of the first matchup at Berkeley before falling apart. They controlled the boards and got to the FT line. Utah is #11 in free throw shooting but #5 in field goal shooting defense. They also dominated in the paint and I beleive their superior size to be the difference maker here on Thursday night. 5* |

03-02-17 | Houston +8.5 v. Cincinnati | Top | 47-65 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 33 m | Show |
Houston still potentially alive for an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament, but the Cougars would probably need this win today on the road, and that's a lot easier said than done. In their 1st meeting Houston lost by 9 at home and they missed 16 of 19 three-pt attempts. The Cougars still have a shot standing 20-8 overall and 11-5 in the AAC. Houston is the only other team that isn’t Cincinnati and SMU in the AAC that has a chance at a potential at-large bid to the Big Dance. Houston has bounced back nicely over the past week picking up wins against UConn at home and Memphis on the road and playing some very good ball right now. Houston has leaned on their defense this season, like many squads in the AAC, ranking 30th in the nation in points allowed and I expect a big effort out of the Cougars in this road game. Take the Underdog Houston Cougars in this one on Thursday evening. 5* |

03-01-17 | Texas v. Texas Tech -7.5 | Top | 57-67 | Win | 100 | 12 h 30 m | Show |
Keenan Evans has really come on for Texas Tech. He has become the man to put the ball in the hoop over the last several games. He gets elbow space, and moves the scoreboard in the right direction. Teams need to be careful they don't get lost when playing the Jr Guard of Texas Tech. They are especially dangerous with getting to the stripe, and creating plays. Texas have no matchup player that can really contain the backcourt of Tech. Texas is a low ended team - and lacks the instinct to not foul players too frequently. Texas has struggled with keeping guys off the offensve boards with any semblance of strength. Including giving up 15 at Oklahoma and 20 to Kent State back in December - that is scary for Texas. The Red Raiders are 15-3 at home and I like them to win comfortably over the visiting Longhorns. 10* HAMMER PLAY |

03-01-17 | Louisville v. Wake Forest +4.5 | Top | 81-88 | Win | 100 | 11 h 24 m | Show |
I think it'll be an emotional night for the Demon Deacons -- senior night and all -- and I expect them to come out playing hard, despite their overall/conference records. Also, Louisville probably won't shoot 57% overall and 45% from 3 pt land again Wed. night like they did Sunday. A win here would do wonders for Wake Forest's at-large resume, and they are tough at home. Look for a tight game throughout and I'm backing the home underdog in this one. 5* |

03-01-17 | Wizards +4 v. Raptors | Top | 105-96 | Win | 100 | 10 h 6 m | Show |
The Wizards are only 10-15 on the road this season and the Raptors are 21-10 at home on the season. However the Raptors will be still be adjusting to the recent loss of Kyle Lowry to injury. They were down 17 to the Knicks and were lucky to come back in that one. Look for John Wall and company to steal a win on the road here tonight. The Wizards are 19-9 ATS this season when playing with revenge. Take the 4 pts with Washington here on Wednesday night. 5* |

02-27-17 | Georgia State v. Arkansas State -1 | Top | 67-78 | Win | 100 | 8 h 55 m | Show |
Arkansas St is very good at home going and shoot the ball well. The Red Wolves have won 14, 19, 19, 11 and 11 games each of the last 5 years so there was a great deal of pressure on them this past Saturday going for a 20th win which they failed to do getting upset as a 7 pt home favorite. 10* College BURIAL |

02-26-17 | Illinois +4 v. Nebraska | Top | 73-57 | Win | 100 | 9 h 13 m | Show |
I like Illinois here as they are the better team and an underdog. They are coming off 2 outright upsets vs Iowa and NW. These teams are tied in the Big Ten race entering Sunday's game in Lincoln. Illinois comes in playing better, having won three of four, while Nebraska has lost nine of 12 and I'll take the better defensive team on the road led by Senior guard Malcolm Hill and his 17 ppg. Lets back Illinois plus the pts here. 5* |

02-25-17 | Northwestern +4 v. Indiana | Top | 62-63 | Win | 100 | 11 h 38 m | Show |
Indiana has dropped 5 in a row and 7 of their last 8 games and not playing well defensively. The Wildcats are still chasing the 4 seed for a bye. They played a close game with Illinois until the end when there offense failed to keep the game close. The Illini defense is much stronger than Indiana's, so I do not see the same problem in this one. Northwestern is well coached behind Head coach Chris Collins and they should get their 21st win here which would be a school record for basketball. 5* |

02-25-17 | Baylor v. Iowa State -1.5 | Top | 69-72 | Win | 100 | 7 h 38 m | Show |
Iowa State is finally starting to look like the team they were thought to be early in the season. Baylor is a good team, which goes without saying, but the 'Cyclones are getting hot at a good time right before the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments. If the cyclones can carry the momentum from the 4 game win streak they will get the win and cover here this afternoon. They 2 keys are that Iowa St needs to slow down Motley/Acuil. It will also come down to stepping in up on defense and also Iowa St hitting their outside shots. I think they need to make 12 threes or more to win this game in my opinion. These teams now have identical 10-5 conference records as Iowa State has won four straight, including impressive road wins against Kansas State and Texas Tech. Baylor squeezed out a win against undermanned Oklahoma in its last outing but is still reeling, with losses in two of its last three. Take IOWA ST here at home. 10* College Hoops Slam Dunk |

It’s not often you get the Spurs playing with same season double revenge as LA knocked them off at home on Nov 5th and here in LA on Dec 22nd. The Clippers psyche can’t be good with a 10th straight loss to Golden St last night while San Antonio not only got in another day of practice but will also return Pau Gasol to the lineup for the first time in 15 games.

02-24-17 | Akron v. Buffalo -2 | Top | 89-83 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 22 m | Show |
The Akron Zips have stood atop the MAC throughout the regular season, but the Zips haven’t been quite as consistently dominant as you’d expect from a squad that currently stands 22-6 overall and 12-3 in conference. Akron has the better record yet they are the 2 pt dog on the road tonight. The Akron Zips simply haven’t been as strong as of late and perhaps this group is just getting a bit worn down as we head into the final stretch of the regular season. The Buffalo Bulls had been the hottest team in the MAC winning 6 straight, but the Bulls had their winning streak snapped the other day at home as the Bulls fell to Kent State by a final of 69-77. Buffalo has shown progress throughout the regular season and the Bulls have the tools to make a run in the MAC tournament as this group currently stands 15-13 overall and 9-6 in conference. Buffalo has shown a very high ceiling at times on the offensive end, especially over the past month, as the Bulls have improved to 88th in the nation in scoring average. Forward Blake Hamilton has stepped up leading the squad averaging 17.4 points and 4.1 assists per game. Buffalo was nearly able to beat Akron on the road about a month ago, falling to the Zips by just 1 points, and this is now a great chance for the Bulls to exact some revenge. Akron has been slipping as of late and this won’t be the easiest matchup to start to turn things back around. I like Buffalo at home on Friday night. 5* |

02-23-17 | Rockets -3.5 v. Pelicans | Top | 129-99 | Win | 100 | 11 h 39 m | Show |
The 40-18 Houston Rockets will get the job done here tonight. The Pelicans do not have guards to matchup with the 3pt shooters of the Rockets. Houston has 7 players averaging 9 points/game or more and led by James Harden and his 29 ppg. It will also take some time for the 2 big men of New Orleans to gel together(Cousins and Anthony Davis). If the Rockets can at least play some semblance of defensive rebounding and compete on the big men they'll have a pretty good chance of winning by double digits. I think the pelicans won't be able to stop the barrage of 3 pointers coming their way especially with the addition of Lou Williams and the Rockets being motivated and rested again. After Anthony Davis got MVP in the All-Star game there will be a letdown here tonight at home. Take the HOUSTON ROCKETS. 10* |

02-23-17 | Western Kentucky v. Charlotte -3.5 | Top | 77-83 | Win | 100 | 9 h 3 m | Show |
The Charlotte defense can push some annoyingly good pressure, at times. Making teams lull into getting comfortable when they are trying to make a play, and before you realize it, it's a closer game than you thought it was going to be. And when they get teams surrounded with their defenders, teams can get jumbled and lost in their own plays. Jon Davis, is pretty good, and will be a problem for Western Kentucky. Western Kentucky seems to lose their identity at times, which lacks much as it is. I will go with the home team. It has been a rocky ride for Mark Price in his second year in Charlotte. But he has some good young guards. Price's team is one of the top 3-point and free throw shooting teams in the league. And they are at their best at home. I don't think that Western Kentucky is going to be able to score enough to win this I'm backing the home team with NCChar here tonight. 5* |

In their first meeting the Huskies were missing point guard Jalen Adams, who is white-hot now. UConn is allowing just 60 points in its four-game win streak, and playing well. 5* |

02-22-17 | Oregon -3 v. California | Top | 68-65 | Push | 0 | 9 h 33 m | Show |
This is a big public fade as the public is all over CAL at home tonight. This is a Oregon team that beat Cal 86-63 earlier this year and are just too good offensively. Take the Oregon Ducks minus the small number.. 5* |

02-21-17 | Davidson v. Richmond +1.5 | Top | 76-84 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show |
Richmond coming off B2B losses with Davidson coming off B2B wins. The difference being that the Spiders are home for a second straight game off a home loss to the best team in the conference (VCU) while Davidson is on their second straight road game off a win against a last place teams. The Wildcats are only shooting 42.8% on the road and only 40.2% their last 5 games. In Davidson’s last 9 games they are 5-0 SU/ATS against A-10 teams with losing conference records and they are 0-4 SU/ATS versus conf teams with winning records, Richmond is tied for 3rd at 9-5 and already handled Davidson on the road. I'm backing Richmond here at home on Tuesday night. 10* |

02-21-17 | Purdue v. Penn State +8.5 | Top | 74-70 | Win | 100 | 5 h 57 m | Show |
The Penn St. ball movement has been very disorganized over the last several games, this won't get easier vs Purdue. They had many problems moving the ball around recently vs Nebraska and Maryland - both who are far less dangerous than the Purdue team. PSU plays tougher teams tough - this wont be a walk in the park for Purdue. I think Penn St will be fired up here at home and 8 pts is too high here tonight. I'm backing the home underdog with Penn St. 5* |

02-19-17 | Syracuse v. Georgia Tech +2.5 | Top | 65-71 | Win | 100 | 8 h 15 m | Show |
This is a rare sold out game for GT. GT plays very good defense here at home. The Orange have covered two of their past nine road games as they travel to play a rejuvenated Georgia Tech team under Josh Pastner. Despite the Yellow Jackets' loss to Miami, they've covered eight of their last 10. And they've won five straight at home. Back Georgia Tech. 5* |

02-19-17 | Georgetown v. Creighton -7 | Top | 70-87 | Win | 100 | 5 h 17 m | Show |
Just five games left in the regular season, and while the Hoyas are playing for the dancing resume in next month's big tournament, Creighton is arguably playing for a highly favorable seed. Both teams are in must-win mode. The 20th-ranked Blue Jays (21-5, 8-5 Big East) is in revenge mode against Georgetown (14-12, 5-8, as the Hoyas won the first meeting behind a stingy defense. Creighton was limited to a season-worst 1-for-19 shooting from three-point range in a 71-51 shellacking. Georgetown is dealing with injuries, and I look for Creighton to get the win and cover here at home. 5* |

02-18-17 | Xavier v. Marquette -3.5 | Top | 61-83 | Win | 100 | 9 h 9 m | Show |
It’s make of break day for Marquette. The Golden Eagles are off their worst loss of the year (18 pts defeat at Georgetown), are off a previous home loss and have dropped 3 straight to Xavier including in the conference tourney. Marquette was able to get a few days off with no mid-week game which means they’ll push the tempo. Xavier meanwhile played at Providence Wednesday are of course without G Sumner and G Trevon Bluiett has missed the last 4 games and will try to go but won’t be 100%.The Bradley Center is sold out as this is National Marquette Day as they celebrate 100 years of Marquette basketball have a huge alumni presence and the hotels are packed with visitors and the home court should be rocking! 5* |

02-18-17 | Arizona State -3 v. Washington State | Top | 71-86 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 31 m | Show |
ASU has actually been pretty solid over the past month of play, including a 1 point loss on the road against Oregon standing out as a great result for the Sun Devils. Arizona State has been able to take care of the lower tier teams in the Pac 12 this season which has allowed the Sun Devils to stand a respectable 6-8 in conference play. Arizona State has shown a high offensive ceiling at times in conference and this group now ranks 49th in the nation putting up nearly 80 points per game on average.

02-17-17 | Pennsylvania -2.5 v. Brown | Top | 96-72 | Win | 100 | 8 h 51 m | Show |
Penn is coming off 2 straight big wins and playing some great ball. This team won 11 games last year under Steve Donahue and this year they have already won 9 games including some big wins over UCF 58-49 on the road who is a top 100 team, Drexel by 8 points at home, top 200 Fairfield by 6 points at home, top 125 La Salle by 3 points on the road and recently beat Columbia and Cornell. This is a team that is top 135 in defense, top 170 in effective field goal percentage and top 100 when it comes to 2 point field goals as well. Brown is outside the top 300 in defense and outside of Penn they have not beat a top 200 team all year. You are going to see a highly motivated Penn team here with revenge as they should not have lost to Brown in the beginning, and they get the win on the road here on Friday night! 5* |

02-16-17 | Wizards v. Pacers +3 | Top | 111-98 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 26 m | Show |
The Indiana Pacers try to snap a five-game losing streak and head into the All-Star break on a positive note when they host the surging Washington Wizards on Thursday. Indiana is very good at home with a 20-9 record and had 5 players averaging 11 ppg or more. Washington has been hot the past 2 months but they struggle on the road going just 9-14. Indiana plays some good defense on their homecourt, and are always good at home. The Pacers struggled on the defensive side on the perimeter last night but I look for them to get things corrected tonight at home heading into the All-Star Break. Take the INDIANA PACERS. 10* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK |

02-16-17 | Wisconsin v. Michigan -1.5 | Top | 58-64 | Win | 100 | 7 h 57 m | Show |
Wisconsin was upset in their last outing at home losing to the shorthanded Northwestern Wildcats by a final of 59-66. The Badgers play at a similar pace to the Wolverines standing 4th in the nation in total defense compared to 176th in scoring average. The Michigan Wolverines have been stepping up their play at the right time winning their last two outings against Michigan State at home in blowout fashion followed by a nice double digit win on the road against Indiana in their last outing. Michigan seems to be back on the right side of the bubble, but the Wolverines are looking to secure their position even more as they head down the final stretch of the regular season. When playing up to their ceiling, Michigan has shown they can compete with just about anyone and this veteran led group has the pieces to be a factor come the postseason. We’ll side with the home squad in this one as Michigan goes on to cover the spread. 5* |

02-15-17 | St. John's v. Butler -9.5 | Top | 86-110 | Win | 100 | 6 h 22 m | Show |
With five regular-season games left before the Big East tournament, Butler coach Chris Holtmann is focused on his team's development. They are coming off a rare loss and I expect the team to be hungry and focused here at home tonight. Butler primed for a huge game coming off a loss while also playing with revenge for a loss at St John’s as an 8 point fav back on Dec 29th. The Bulldogs are 4-1 ATS off a SU loss this season and are lost each of their last 2 home games as well. 5* |
