04-08-19 | Texas Tech v. Virginia -115 | Top | 77-85 | Win | 100 | 45 h 45 m | Show |
Taking VIRGINIA. Have had these guys several times and said I think this is their year. Not changing that now even after they cost last game and we won on Texas Tech. Cavaliers erase all memories of last years epic first round loss. 8* Sure Shot VIRGINIAÂ |
|||||||
04-06-19 | Auburn v. Virginia -5 | Top | 62-63 | Loss | -105 | 125 h 45 m | Show |
Taking VIRGINIA. So we had both of these guys last weekend - Will go with VA to get it done. Look. I said in our Auburn write up last week that was the spot to move on them. Off a loss of key player, vs a conference foe. Double revenge on the season. Everything lined up. Now, not so much. I get that these guys have been great in this tournament. Really just a couple hiccup spots of poor play. But I said all season I believed Virginia looked a bit different. They are 2 wins away from getting away from last years epic loss. I think that is a huge motivation factor for them. They have been tested and responded. I think Auburn has peaked and this is a double digit loss for them 5* Best Bet VIRGINIA |
|||||||
04-01-19 | DePaul +100 v. South Florida | Top | 61-63 | Loss | -100 | 24 h 1 m | Show |
Taking DEPAUL. So- have to like DePaul and the way they are scoring right now. 92-97-100 last 3 games. Clearly better offensively than South Florida. Nearly 48%FG to 42% - 34.7% from 3 - 32% and 73% at the line compared to 64% for the Bulls. And that shows in So Fla's scores. 56-47, 66-57, 82-79 in OT. I can't see them keeping up. I am trying to find a good South Florida win - I guess beating Wichita 54-41, maybe Memphis game 84-78. DePaul with 4 wins over St John's and Seton Hall. Also beat Xavier. I'm grabbing the Big East here in the CBI. 5* Best Bet DEPAUL |
|||||||
03-29-19 | Auburn v. North Carolina -5 | Top | 97-80 | Loss | -106 | 54 h 56 m | Show |
Taking NORTH CAROLINA. I really want to jump in with a larger play, nearly a Top 10* Money Bomb here. I just think - As much as Auburn wants to run with these guys, they just don't have the horses to last. NC is scoring 80, at a minimum tonight. If Auburn wants to push the tempo this game, I think they are getting run out of the building like 93-75 territory. As great as the Tigers have looked, they will need another SEC Championship Game performance to knock off the Tarheels. 5* Best Bet NORTH CAROLINAÂ |
|||||||
03-29-19 | LSU v. Michigan State -5.5 | Top | 63-80 | Win | 100 | 93 h 10 m | Show |
Taking MICHIGAN STATE. Death, Taxes, and Izzo's first Sweet 16 since 2015. I think he will have these guys primed tonight. So. I managed a back-door cover with Yale over LSU. Then LSU cost me by a half-point. My first fade was based on what will get with everything going on with the coaching situation. They hung tough enough to get to the second round. Where, they let a double digit slip away against a pretty average, at best Big 10 team. Michigan State doesn't play those childish games. They are going to maul you on both ends. They just crushed Minnesota, a common foe they see on a regular by 20. As I said. First Sweet 16 since 2015 for Izzo and friends. Not a chance they are losing focus vs these guys. LSU, I don't know. They have been playing with fire in the first two rounds. Think this is a 10pt win for Sparty. 8* Sure Shot MICHIGAN STATE. |
|||||||
03-28-19 | Oregon v. Virginia -8 | Top | 49-53 | Loss | -110 | 73 h 9 m | Show |
Taking VIRGINIA. Love that everyone is on Oregon. Holy cow people - First. Let's talk about the gift that the Ducks received. First. They were not even dancing until the knocked off Washington in the PAC 12 championship. Which, I think would have been unfair if Arizona State was in the play-in and not Oregon. So they run the table. Then they get a middle Big 10 team. Hot team prevails. They get Irvine - who I had over K-State. But still a 13 seed. Hitting 13 3s at a 52% clip helps to crush a small mid-major. Arizona State got run out of the building by Buffalo. Washington beaten by NC. And what do we have here -Well, hello Virginia. Good luck Oregon. Another ACC team to take a PAC 12 team behind the woodshed. Said it in their win over Oklahoma, and will say it again here. Virginia has 3 losses on the year. 2 of them to another 1 Seed in Duke. There was no let down before or after those Duke games. A 23 pt win over Wake isn't all that impressive. But how about a 6 point road win at North Carolina after a 10pt Duke loss - VA, on a mission. This game will be around 6-10 then its 15 and honestly, I don't Oregon scoring 60 in this game. Cavs should have 70+. 10* Money Bomb VIRGINIA CAVALIERS |
|||||||
03-28-19 | Florida State v. Gonzaga -7 | Top | 58-72 | Win | 100 | 55 h 44 m | Show |
Taking GONZAGA. So this line I see ticking up to 7.5 after an opening number of 6.5 I see a lot more money on Florida State. And I get it. FSU looking good in the NCAA. ACC battle tested. But are they? Say we throw out 2 bad road losses to Pitt, losing by 13 and losing at BC by 5. We have a 10pt loss to Duke in the ACC tournament - I see a 18pt loss at NC - losing by 13 at Virginia. Then 2 pt home loss to Duke and a 6pt neutral loss to Nova. Man- I see 1-4 vs the Top teams and losing all by double digits. We can say all we want about the Zags playing the WCC and ACC better top to bottom. Taking away that no-show game in WCC Championship we see 2 losses. 3 on a neutral to the Vols and 13 their next game at NC. That is a tough 2 step coming from the Northwest. I'm buying the Zags based on the reverse line move. 5* Best Bet GONZAGAÂ |
|||||||
03-24-19 | Ohio State v. Houston -5.5 | Top | 59-74 | Win | 100 | 24 h 43 m | Show |
Taking HOUSTON. I am not buying Ohio State one bit. I don't care how many games the Big 10 has won so far in the tournament. You have a pair of 2 seeds in Michigan and Michigan State who are both Final Four type teams. Purdue is a 3. But your mid levels, Wiscy, bounced in Round 1. Maryland needed everything and the kitchen sink to get past Belmont. Minny with a good match-up over Louisville. Iowa gets annual choke artist, Cincinnati Bearcats. OSU 9-13 in conference - dropped 3 straight and 4 of 5 coming into the conference tournament. 19-14 gets you a bid? What a joke. I know they opened with a win over Cincy - Also knocked off Creighton and UCLA. But Houston better than that. Houston 32-3. Took care of business vs LSU, Oklahoma State on the road. Plus tourney teams St Louis and Utah State. You can only beat who is front of you. Cougs beat nearly all. At one point, OSU lost 5 straight and 6 of 7 in Big 10 play. Then ended the regular season 2-6 in conference play. Way to inconsistent for my liking. Will lay it with Houston. 8* Sure Shot HOUSTON COUGARS |
|||||||
03-24-19 | Washington v. North Carolina -11.5 | Top | 59-81 | Win | 100 | 18 h 37 m | Show |
Taking NORTH CAROLINA. Losses to Duke, Virginia, Kentucky and Michigan for NC. Plus a puzzling loss to Texas and a loss to Louisville. That's it. Washington put up 48 points vs Oregon in the PAC 12 Championship Game. That was after losing the regular season finale to them 55-47. They lost to an 8-23 Cal team. I can't see them sniffing staying within double digits. I think NC is going to outboard them on both ends of the court. I cashed Huskies ML in Round 1. But this is a terrible match-up for them. Can't see them keeping pace with Heels. This should be a 20pt win for NC along the 85-65 range. After a slow start in Round 1. I expect NC to be 100% ready to come for the PAC 12 regular season Champs. 10* Money Bomb NORTH CAROLINAÂ |
|||||||
03-24-19 | Iowa v. Tennessee -8 | Top | 77-83 | Loss | -106 | 39 h 37 m | Show |
Taking TENNESSEE. Not worried at this price with the Vols. So they took a close game vs Colgate. That doesn't shock me too much. Let's look at their season. Lost on a neutral to 'good' Kansas by 6 in OT. Auburn got them twice. I mean, who was beating Auburn in that SEC Championship Game? Nobody. They were in, as they say, 'the zone.' Lost by 2 in OT at LSU. And got run out of Kentucky by 17. They did their revenge at home winning by 19 over Kentucky though. Who is comparable to this Iowa team they played? Louisville, who they beat by 11? Mississippi State 17? Florida 12? How about Gonzaga? Beat them by 3 on a neutral. Iowa came into the Big 10 tournament dropped 4 straight and 4 of 5. They needed OT to beat a slumping Indiana team. They beat Rutgers by 2 and Northwestern by 1 in back to back games. You know how they do vs tourney teams. Losses to Michigan by 21 and 15. Michigan State 22 and 15. 20 at Wiscy, 20 at OSU. Vols too talented. This should be at least a 15 point win for Tennessee. 5* Best Bet TENNESSEEÂ |
|||||||
03-23-19 | Minnesota v. Michigan State -10 | Top | 50-70 | Win | 100 | 46 h 46 m | Show |
Taking MICHIGAN STATE. One team in off a super impressive win that they controlled basically from start to finish. The other guys, a huge fave in a dog fight most of the afternoon, Will side with an angry Izzo who will have his guys more than ready for Minny. Sparty beat these guys by 24 already this year. Last years bunch 30 points better. 8* Sure Shot MICHIGAN STATEÂ |
|||||||
03-23-19 | Lipscomb v. NC-Greensboro | Top | 86-69 | Win | 100 | 44 h 48 m | Show |
Taking LIPSCOMB. Think these guys played a little better schedule and are a little better overall. We had both teams in Round 1, and unfortunately, they face each other here. Just another tournament putting mid-majors against each other so they don't beat Power 5 middling schools. Lipscomb lost 2 tough games to Belmont. They beat SMU, TCU. Really beat up a good Vermont team. Beat other middies Morehead State and Midd Tenn State. Lost at Louisville and Clemson. Shame they aren't in the NCAAs with who they played. NCG lost to LSU and Kentucky but were crushed by Wofford. I put Lipscomb obviously closer to Wofford than Kentucky. But fact remains NCG didn't step up when it needed to. 5* Best Bet LIPSCOMB |
|||||||
03-22-19 | St. Louis v. Virginia Tech -9 | Top | 52-66 | Win | 100 | 107 h 27 m | Show |
Taking VIRGINIA TECH. So I think we saw STL really shoot the moon in the A-10 tournament. Would love to see them make a run here. But I can't see that happening. This VT team is very good. You hear about Virginia, Duke and NC out of the ACC, but don't sleep on the Hokies. 8* Sure Shot VIRGINIA TECH HOKIES |
|||||||
03-22-19 | UCF -1 v. VCU | Top | 73-58 | Win | 100 | 83 h 48 m | Show |
Taking UCF. Just think that they have too much size for VCU. Rams coming in off tough loss in A10 Championship game. They lose a key piece in Evans. Maybe he plays -No clue as I write this on Tuesday, but zero chance he will be close to 100% if he gets on the floor. UCF a tough team. Beat Houston on the road and Cincy in back to back to spots- then dropped a tough roadie at Temple who always brings it. Obviously they have to get by VCU first, but I will be interested in them vs Duke in the next round. 8* Sure Shot UCFÂ |
|||||||
03-22-19 | Cal-Irvine +5.5 v. Kansas State | Top | 70-64 | Win | 100 | 99 h 22 m | Show |
Taking IRVINE. So, Wade plays and is 100%, I think this line is higher. But if he's out or plays in a limited fashion, have to still side with Irvine. Right off the bat - this game is in San Jose. I don't know California, but I know Irivine does play here. It isn't like their fans are flying in from Kansas. They will have the crowd behind them. And in an early game like this, it will be noticeable. You beat a team in your conference tournament championship by 30, that interests me. That is a team that you play twice a year and knows your ins and outs over the years. 16 straight wins and 19 of 20. 5* Best Bet CAL IRVINEÂ |
|||||||
03-21-19 | Old Dominion +12.5 v. Purdue | Top | 48-61 | Loss | -110 | 84 h 43 m | Show |
Taking OLD DOMINION. This team won't mind playing a slow, banging pace. And the double digits are just a bonus. I think OD wins this outright. Really. If this game isn't withing 10 I would be shocked. CUSA always shows up in the NCAAs.. Last year Marshall 13 seed won first round. Year before, 12 seed Middle Tenn State wins 1st round. Before that - 15 Mid Tenn over #2 Michigan State. 14 UAB over 3 seed Iowa before that. We have to go back to 2013-2014 to find CUSA not getting bounced in the first round. 10* Money Bomb OLD DOMINIONÂ |
|||||||
03-20-19 | Central Michigan +5 v. DePaul | Top | 86-100 | Loss | -108 | 33 h 13 m | Show |
Taking CENTRAL MICHIGAN. Will gladly grab a MAC dog vs an average, at best Big East team. 4-6 run for DePaul and 7-3 for CMU. I always feel the smaller conference has the edge. The line is a bonus. I think we win outright. 10-0-1 ATS run for them last 11 games and 16-4-1 ATS last 21 overall. 5* Best Bet CENTRAL MICHIGANÂ |
|||||||
03-20-19 | Wichita State +10 v. Furman | Top | 76-70 | Win | 100 | 54 h 8 m | Show |
Taking WICHITA. I love me some Furman, but this is too many points for me to pass up. I think this line is probably double what it should be. 4* Money Maker WICHITA STATEÂ |
|||||||
03-20-19 | Toledo +5 v. Xavier | Top | 64-78 | Loss | -108 | 32 h 17 m | Show |
Taking TOLEDO. I am going to jump on some +190 ML also. Big brother/ little brother in state battle. You know the Rockets want to come hard at these guys. MAC trying to get some street cred. Starts with knocking out a bigger name program - this one, an in state rival. Creighton - what team is showing up? The one that lost 6 straight? The one that won 6 straight? They are 4-10 ATS in their 14 games going off as a fave. Toledo much more consistent on the year. Buffalo only team to really run them out of a game. 8* Sure Shot TOLEDO ROCKETS |
|||||||
03-15-19 | Oregon -2 v. Arizona State | Top | 79-75 | Win | 100 | 14 h 9 m | Show |
Taking OREGON. These guys playing very well right now. Won't be shocked when they win PAC 12 - and maybe make a Sweet 16 run. A perfect 6-0 ATS/ SU run for Ducks. Beat ASU by 28 a couple weeks ago. Get your ticket and get out of the way of the Ducks. Simply rolling right now. 8* Sure Shot OREGON DUCKSÂ |
|||||||
03-14-19 | Marshall v. Southern Miss -3.5 | Top | 73-82 | Win | 100 | 11 h 27 m | Show |
Taking SOUTHERN MISS. 101-51 was the score back in January. Marshall comes in hot with 5 straight win, and that big revenge spot. Think this could be the best team in CUSA. 8* Sure Shot SOUTHERN MISSÂ |
|||||||
03-14-19 | North Texas v. Western Kentucky -2.5 | Top | 51-67 | Win | 100 | 11 h 54 m | Show |
Taking WESTERN KENTUCKY. Had NT yesterday in a nice easy win, but not today. WKU is pretty talented. Won't be shocked to see them cut down the nets. 5* Best Bet WESTERN KENTUCKY |
|||||||
03-14-19 | USC v. Washington -5 | Top | 75-78 | Loss | -109 | 4 h 28 m | Show |
Taking WASHINGTON. You win a crap conference by a full 3 games, you better take care of a bad USC team. You take care of business, win this by a dozen and move on. 5* Best Bet WASHINGTON HUSKIES |
|||||||
03-14-19 | NC State v. Virginia -10.5 | Top | 56-76 | Win | 100 | 14 h 43 m | Show |
Taking VIRGINIA. Time for the long road back. We know what happened in the NCAAs last year. So does the team. They look a little different to me this season. I think they easily dispatch NCST this afternoon. Should be a 15-20pt win for VA. 10* Money Bomb VIRGINIA |
|||||||
03-13-19 | Houston Baptist v. Lamar -4 | Top | 79-81 | Loss | -107 | 17 h 45 m | Show |
Taking LAMAR. These guys might be the 5 seed, but I think they are top in Southland Conference. These 2 split, Lamar rolling 110-75 end of February, and Houston Baptist scoring a 88-82 OT win to begin the year. Lamar with 8 straight wins and 10 in their last 11. 5* Best Bet LAMAR |
|||||||
03-13-19 | Miami-FL v. Virginia Tech -7.5 | Top | 56-71 | Win | 100 | 13 h 30 m | Show |
Taking VIRGINIA TECH. Not high on Miami. They didn't impress me yesterday. I think VT crashes the semis on Friday and will face Top Seed Virginia. That was Miami's first win on the road since what, before Thanksgiving! Hokies win this by 10+. 8* Sure Shot VIRGINIA TECHÂ |
|||||||
03-12-19 | St. Mary's v. Gonzaga -13.5 | Top | 60-47 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 36 m | Show |
Taking GONZAGA. Had these guys last night, will do it again. As I said in yesterday's write up. 34-28-48-30-30-59-23-31-43-35-45-61-34-42-23-37-41 -- How about those margins of victory for Gonzaga? We can dd last nights 26 point winner to that list. Again. Beat Mary's already by 16 and 38. This is 15-20 win. 5* Best Bet GONAZAGA |
|||||||
03-11-19 | IUPU Ft Wayne v. Nebraska-Omaha +1 | Top | 60-61 | Win | 100 | 11 h 57 m | Show |
Taking OMAHA. I have these guys favored and we are getting points. I know that most times I am on a higher seed that is favored. But this line is so short that I toss that aside. Omaha with a 74-71 home win back in February and 85-79 OT win on the road in January. Coming hot winning 8 of 9 while FT Wayne resounding win over South Dak snapped a 4 game losing streak. Omaha was 14-3 in conference play with 2 losses to Oral Roberts and one to the ousted 1 seed South Dakota State Jackrabbits. Since 2010, teams trying to get that 3rd game revenge have failed at a 72% clip. I liked these guys at +600 before the Tourney so I am not shying away now. Ne-Om on a 10-3 ATS run in Summit Play. 10* Money Bomb NEBRASKA OMAHA MAVERICKSÂ |
|||||||
03-11-19 | NC-Greensboro v. Wofford -6.5 | Top | 58-70 | Win | 100 | 8 h 24 m | Show |
Taking WOFFORD. Tough to knock on NCG who we made some coin on this season. But Wofford a beast. 20-0 in conference play. Beat these guys by 30 and 29 already this year. Greenboro 17-3 in conference play with those blowouts hanging over their head. I know you think they will come out strong in revenge and, get that taste of their mouth type game. But I don't see it. These are more than convincing wins. Greenboro off a dog-fight win over 'money earning' Furman. So Con Champs 5* Best Bet WOFFORD TERRIERSÂ |
|||||||
03-11-19 | Delaware v. Hofstra -10.5 | Top | 74-78 | Loss | -117 | 7 h 20 m | Show |
Taking HOFSTRA. Faded Delaware yesterday and was looking good until they hit 8 straight 3's and 9 in 10 shots to turn a deficit into a nice lead. Not a chance they get hot like that again. Not happening. Pride went 16-3 in CAA play and destroyed these guys already this year - 92-70 on the road and 91-46 at home. Blue Hens 2-9-1 ATS run. Blowout. 10* Money Bomb HOFSTRA PRIDEÂ |
|||||||
03-10-19 | Houston v. Cincinnati -2 | Top | 85-69 | Loss | -108 | 14 h 7 m | Show |
Taking CINCINNATI. Can't take anything away from Houston 28-2 on the year with a 5 point loss to UCF and 4 point road loss at Temple. 15-2 atop AAC. Cincy 14-3. Big game for them in home finale. I'm going with the home team and better defense. Unders have gone 9-1 last 10 in this series so we know defense prevails. 5* Best Bet CINCINNATI BEARCATSÂ |
|||||||
02-20-19 | Florida v. LSU -7 | Top | 82-77 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 42 m | Show |
Taking LSU. I am sick to my stomach seeing that Florida is a possible NCAA bubble team. Is that a joke? Please, give me some one out of the SoCon - Sun Belt- ASun - Ohio Valley instead. Give me CAA and CUSA. Liberty, Wofford, Greensboro, Lipscomb, Radford, Northeastern, North Texas, Furman. I can go on and on. Oh, Indiana. As a 10. Stop. LSU for the love of all that is holy, destroy this Gators team please. (there is my Tourney Rant for now) -- Florida on a 1-7 ATS run through SEC play while LSU enjoys a 9-3 ATS run in conference action. LSU on a 14-1 run with their lone by a point. 7-7 run over last 14 for Gators. Fave 4-0-1 ATS last 5 in the series. Home team 3-1-1 ATS last 5 in the series. LSU 5-2 ATS last 7 at home vs Florida. 8* Sure Shot LSUÂ |
|||||||
02-14-19 | BYU v. San Diego -3 | Top | 88-82 | Loss | -113 | 24 h 15 m | Show |
Taking SAN DIEGO. Home team on a 8-1 ATS run in the series which adds to our BYU run of 3-11 ATS last 14 on the road. BYU 8-3 in conference while SD 5-5. That doesn't matter to me - I think this team is on par with SF and St Mary's, who, dealt BYU road losses of 19 and 22. 5* Best Bet SAN DIEGOÂ |
|||||||
02-11-19 | Virginia v. North Carolina +2 | Top | 69-61 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 16 m | Show |
Taking NORTH CAROLINA. No way Virginia losses 2 in a row right? I mean, 2 losses to Duke and that's it. NC quietly sitting at 9-1 in the ACC. I know that VA dictates the pace in this series. But that being said, I am just not sold on the Cavaliers. Roy Williams is a bit over-rated in my eyes. I think he just lets his talent take over on the court and not really 'coach.' Back to the pace. Even with NC scoring over 70 just once the last 6 meetings, I am backing the home dog. 5* Best Bet NORTH CAROLINAÂ |
|||||||
01-28-19 | Baylor +6.5 v. Oklahoma | Top | 77-47 | Win | 100 | 22 h 55 m | Show |
Taking BAYLOR. Like the way these guys have playing. Crashing the offense glass and hitting 3s. Raise your hand if you had these guys at 4-2 in Big 12 play ending January? A new guy seems to step up every game. That is how you win with balanced offensive efficiency. Just too many points to give a hot team with a balanced attack. 5* Best Bet BAYLOR BEARSÂ |
|||||||
01-08-19 | Purdue v. Michigan State -8.5 | Top | 59-77 | Win | 100 | 23 h 45 m | Show |
Taking MICHIGAN STATE. Like this team a lot. Forget about Purdue rolling a 'ranked' team as a 10pt faves. Sparty is a totally different animal. This is a complete Final Four team. 5* Best Bet MICHIGAN STATEÂ |
|||||||
01-08-19 | Eastern Michigan v. Ball State -11.5 | Top | 84-82 | Loss | -108 | 21 h 36 m | Show |
Taking BALL STATE. Now. Everyone knows Buffalo as the MAC darlings. But this is a sneaky good team. 4 top scorers back from last year. Every year getting better. They are the #1 team out of the West. EMU is a poor shooting team. When your top 2 scorers are 37 and 38% from the field and 36 and 27% from 3, you are going to have problems keeping pace with the Cardinals putting up nearly 85ppg. Last year, 58-41 EMU as Ball State shot 27%. Payback in big fashion. 8* Sure Shot BALL STATEÂ |
|||||||
01-05-19 | Georgia v. Tennessee -14 | Top | 50-96 | Win | 100 | 16 h 57 m | Show |
Taking TENNESSEE . This isn't football in January. Georgia beat these guys last year 73-62 at home, and hung tough 66-61 on the road blowing a nice half-time lead. Well. You caught them off a close game with Florida on deck. Then you got them off a pair of b2b road games. No such luck as this is a Vols team rested. This team is good. Georgia in a rebuild with a new HC. Vols can name their score, and I am thinking it should be 20. 8* Sure Shot TENNESSEEÂ |
|||||||
01-05-19 | Kansas State v. Texas Tech -11 | Top | 57-63 | Loss | -108 | 15 h 56 m | Show |
TEXAS TECH gets the call as our Top Rated 10* MONEY BOMB Game of the Week. Red Raiders crushed these guys last year 66-47 on the road and 74-58 at home. Kansas State down 2 key contributors. I get it. The next guy steps up. But good luck vs Texas Tech who brings the D. I don't think K-State gets more than 50 today. If Tech doesn't win by 20 I will be disappointed. 10* Money Bomb TEXAS TECHÂ |
|||||||
12-19-18 | Cal-Irvine -2.5 v. Eastern Michigan | Top | 52-48 | Win | 100 | 9 h 3 m | Show |
Taking IRVINE. This is a good little Big West team. They should about 25 games this year. That is nearly double of what this EMU team will put up. Don't be fooled by EMU 5-1 home record. Rochester College - Goshen - Central State for 3 wins. Drexel, who is a bad CAA team. And the Boston Terriers. This is a step up in competition. Should be a 10pt win. 5* Best Bet CAL IRVINEÂ |
|||||||
12-15-18 | Villanova v. Kansas -7 | Top | 71-74 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 40 m | Show |
Taking KANSAS. As we said when we had Penn the other night. This is not last years Villanova team. Jayhawks by double digits. 5* Best Bet KANSAS NFL and Bowl Games will be added today |
|||||||
11-28-18 | Georgia State -3.5 v. Tulane | Top | 80-76 | Win | 100 | 14 h 11 m | Show |
Taking GEORGIA STATE. I have GaSt as a Top 20 mid-major program. And as we have seen other times this year, no better time to take these guys vs a 'bigger' school. Always with a chip on their shoulder, you know you will get their 'A' game. These guys will win the Sun Belt and are led by conference POY. They just knocked off Georgia, and have beaten the Bonnies. I would put Tulane below those 2 programs right now. Tulane will most likely be pulling up the rear of the AAC. 5* Best Bet GEORGIA STATEÂ |

11-17-18 | St. Louis +6 v. Seton Hall | Top | 66-64 | Win | 100 | 21 h 19 m | Show |
Taking ST LOUIS. Like this bunch. A lot of good talent. If HC Ford can piece it together, this is an NCAA team. Transfers. Isabell from Drexel 21ppg 7boards -- Wiley from Maryland 6ppg . That doesn't include returnees, Goodwin 11ppg 7boards , Bess 13/7, French 9/7, Forman 7ppg, Welmer 8/5. These guys are deep. On the flip side - Seton Hall lost nearly 60% of it's scoring. STL is ready to take a big step. Nearly played them +210 on the ML here on the sites. Pirates with Powell scoring 27 and Nzei 12. After that, it is a loose ball crap shoot of where the points are coming from. Billikens get the call. 10* Money Bomb STL BILLIKENS |

Taking IOWA. Although pegged for a middle tier Big 10 team, I like Iowa in this spot. Everyone real contributor back for them. They beat a pretty good Ducks team last night. Let-down. Nah. Then we would have to say let-down for UConn. Huskies ceiling was about basement level. But with a new HC, they took down old Big East rival Syracuse last night. Think size and experience wins out tonight. 5* Best Bet IOWAÂ |

Taking OREGON. Both of these guys were probably thinking they were going to be playing in the 2K Classic Championship Game. Look. This is like a home game for 'Cuse. I think they are ok. I mean -middle of the road ACC team. Will be ranked, and go dancing. I have Ducks pegged for the top of the PAC 12. I like Dana Altman. I think this team is pretty good. And I will grab them this afternoon. 5* Best Bet OREGON DUCKSÂ |

Taking NORTHEASTERN. Like this group. Just missed the NCAAs last year with a CAA Championship Game loss. This is a huge small/ mid-major battle as Harvard is right at the top of the Ivy League. Tough going against the 'smart' team. Remember. NE lost in OT in that Championship Game after being up by 17 in the second half. Hopefully those things aren't the norm and the players learned from that horrible experience. 4* Money Maker NORTHEASTERNÂ |

Taking MEMPHIS. Normally I don't like coming out swinging dropping a huge 10* Money Bomb play on opening. This just feels like proverbial 'perfect storm.' Tenn Tech comes in as probably the worse team in the OVC. Have to replace all their top scorers. New HC Penny Hardaway takes over for Tubby Smith and the hype is off the charts. He has a few seniors that will be more than happy to whatever the NBA All-Star has to say. The kids on Tenn Tech will probably be star struck looking for autographs instead of playing their assignments. 10* Money Bomb MEMPHISÂ |

03-31-18 | Loyola-Chicago v. Michigan -5 | Top | 57-69 | Win | 100 | 20 h 28 m | Show |
Taking MICHIGAN. We had Loy-Chi to start Round 1 in game winning fashion. But the time has gone for Cinderella to go home from the dance. Looking back on huge runs like this (VCU + George Mason), I can't compare them to Butler who had an NBA head coach and NBA players Mack + Hayward. I can see this playing out ala G-Mason style, who Florida beat 73-58. Hoping Wolverines hit some FTs down the stretch and not cost us like they did vs Florida State. Might be close for a half. I just think the size and talent eventually make this a comfortable double digit game. 4* Money Maker MICHIGANÂ |

03-23-18 | Syracuse v. Duke -11.5 | Top | 65-69 | Loss | -104 | 97 h 13 m | Show |
Taking DUKE tonight. First. Just because we are having a GOM doesn't me bet the house. We rate the plays. So adding a Game of the Week, Month, Year to it just means to play it for an extra unit or 2. We aren't like some cappers who when they lose a few games in a row and are down 400 Dimes or whatever, we don't say. only time this year we put out a 1000 Dime play. It wins. Capper fake math has him up 600 dimes, but he's 1-7 or some crap. So we are on the BLUE DEVILS. What a crap game by Sparty and Izzo. Not what I wanted or hoped for playing on them Sunday. If anytime is going to exploit this zone and short bench, it will be Duke. Already with a 60-44 win under the belts over the Orange. Hats off to them for winning 3 games in 5 days. But the PAC 12 was garbage. I thought TCU would knock them off, but we didn't have an official play. As for that Michigan State game. Holy cow. Offensive rebounds 26-4! 8-37 from 3. Take it to the rack already! They had a walk-on play 6 minutes last game. Zero depth. I said it last game with MSU, and I will say it here. This should be a 15-20 point game. Duke isn't going to shoot 26% from the floor. Sparty may have been too young to take advantage of Syracuse. Blue Devils won't make that mistake. Duke was upended last year by 7 seed South Carolina who went an improbable Final Four run. 2012 lost to Lehigh in First Round, next year Elite 8. 2014 lost to Mercer First Round, next year National Champs. So, off an early exit, I expect the Final Four run. They know this team. They know their zone defense. They will exploit the Orange weaknesses. 10* Money Bomb DUKE BLUE DEVILS |

03-17-18 | Seton Hall v. Kansas -4.5 | Top | 79-83 | Loss | -106 | 32 h 50 m | Show |
Taking KANSAS. Ok. Maybe this is a huge square play. I know that Kansas has had some bad let-downs before. But they have been to the Elite 8 the last 2 years. They were knocked off by Wichita, who, at 30-4 was pretty good under-seeded team in 2015. The loss in 2014 to Stanford is bad, I get it. -But It isn't like we are laying a huge number here. I get you wanting to back the Hall. This line looks a bit short to me, but that is also based on the name on the uniforms. Seton Hall beat UL on the road, over Texas Tech at MSG. People remember them playing Nova to a 69-68 OT loss a couple weeks ago. Lost by 12 at Xavier. They lost to Butler in the Big East tournament, but had beaten them in the final game of the regular season a few days before. They had a nice game vs NC State. But I see some chinks in the armor. As I said. A 12 point road loss to X, 16pt loss at Nova. Lost by 17 at Creighton. Lost by 20 at Marquette. The lost by 6 at Rutgers! You can say. Hey they won 4 of 5 heading into the BE Tourney. Well, we move the bar and we see a 4 game losing streak before 3 wins and you have 5-6 heading into NC State, 6-6 now. Kansas had won 5 straight before dropping their regular season finale. Then they win by 14, 16 and 11 in the Big 12 tournament. I don't think they take half the first half off here like the Penn game. But they did manage to win by 16. If we get a full game of Azubuike, I think we win by double digits going away. But I like him sitting out the B12 Tourney and only playing 3 minutes in Round 1. Shows the other guys they can win without a key player. The last 2 years in Round 2, Kansas beat 9 seed Michigan State 90-70 and 9 seed Uconn 73-61. 5* Best Bet KANSAS JAYHAWKSÂ |

03-17-18 | Loyola-Chicago v. Tennessee -5 | Top | 63-62 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 21 m | Show |
Taking the VOLS today. So, I have these guys in my Final Four. I think they are that good. I will say that we got lucky cashing our Loy-Chi in Round 1. Not sure they get every break in this spot. We also cashed Tennessee on Thursday. Steady effort all around. The rough grind of the Miami game might wear down the Ramblers. Look. I like these guys. But I think that Tenn is going to just be too much for them. I get it is tough not to like a team shooting 50% from the field. And we look back at the win over the Gators fondly. A bad seed for them, probably should have been an 8. But they lack the sexy name. Vols should control the defensive glass. I think people forget that Tenn beat the Boilermakers early. Lost a tough to Nova, up 12 at half. Maybe the OT win over Purdue the day before caught up with them (Nassau). They lost a tough one at home to NC. I think this is the best team the Ramblers have faced. But this is not the best team Tennessee has faced. It's going to be close. But I think we pull away for the 10pt win. 8* Sure Shot TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERSÂ |

Taking A&M. I think people forget how good this team was to start the year. Opened the year with that big win over West Va. I see their non-con littered with wins over March Tournament teams (NIT,CBI,CIT + NCAA) Oklahoma State - Penn State - Rio Grande Valley - Northern Kentucky - Buffalo. Bama, Auburn, Kentucky, Arkansas, Missouri. Not that I am a huge SEC fan. But I think as great as Providence was in the Big East tourney, knocking off Xavier, giving Villanova a good battle, I just think that A&M gets it done. 4* Money Maker TEXAS A&MÂ |

Taking NORTHERN KENTUCKY. An absolute 'no-brainer' play for me. We have the little brother ready to face one of his older siblings. The Norse upset in the Horizon. But oh what a prize they get in the NIT. They get Louisville, who, according to The Courier Journal voted before the ACC Tournament not to play if they missed the NCAAs. Problem is nobody relayed the message to the bosses who signed off on the paperwork. When told they have to forfeit, they said they will play. Oh, we get the, we have to play hard for the city and locals and fans. But these guys are done. We won't get into the off the court things. We all know what they are. Getting a TD in a game I think we are winning outright. Are we all of a sudden getting a focused UL team that is coming out to win the NIT Championship? This reminds me of Robert Morris coming into Kentucky 2013 and winning outright. Opened the season ranked 3 that year. 5* Best Bet NORTHERN KENTUCKYÂ |

But have no run off 4 straight Ws after going 11-0 in OT yesterday. USC just as hot winning 6 of their last 7. Probably played themselves into a spot or at least close to one in the NCAAs. But I think people forget how good this Arizona team is. Have to with them at this short price. 5* Best Bet ARIZONAÂ |

Taking EASTERN MICHIGAN tonight. Last year in the MAC Quarters, Akron smashed these guys 79-62. Well. Time for a little tournament revenge. They played just once at EMU, and the Eagles laid a 63-49 loss on the Zips. Expecting more of the same here. EMU comes in red-hot winners of 6 straight and 8 of 9. The lone loss, in OT on the road. Akron on a 3-6 run before upsetting Western Michigan by a point. Zips dangerous. Of course you have to look at a team in the conference tournament championship game the year before as a threat. But it is also a team you don't overlook. 5* Best Bet EASTERN MICHIGANÂ |

Taking MISSOURI STATE. Now. I am down on this group. I was expecting them to be a top tier MVC team this season. Yet, here we are in the play-in round. Missouri State won both games this year. Crushing Valpo on the road by 17. A game they were nearly up 30. And at home by 7, having to nip and claw their way to the win. I think Alize Johnson is a beast that Valpo can't contain. 24-17 last game vs them. 15 and 11 averages on the season. We aren't laying any huge number here. I'm on the Bears. 4* Money Maker MISSOURI STATE |

Taking VCU. Now. Rams not at the top of the A10, but still a top tier team in conference. Can't say the same for GW who I have tagged for the bottom. I am looking for a big bounce-back game here from VCU. Off a pair of losses, their last one a 67-52 home loss to Richmond. 34% shooting will contribute to 50 point games. For a team that scores over 75ppg, that is a huge drop-off. GW scored 53-55 in last years two games. VCU is going to want to get out and push it. GW is one of the slowest tempo teams in the land. Nothing good will happen for them when they try to keep pace. 5* Best Bet VCUÂ |

Off to an 0-2 start in conference play as they have dropped both game to the other top teams, Furman and East Tenn. So this the the old 'circle the wagons game.' Must win in every sense of the word. They beat Western by 15 at home, and 20 on this court. They need more of the same tonight. 8* Sure Shot MERCERÂ |

Taking MISSISSIPPI today. Alright. Ole Miss needs some Ws. Sitting in a 5 game home stretch of the winnable non-con part of schedule, the time is now. I was an Ill State backer last year. But that team lost 4 starters. They have Ill-Chi on deck. Maybe a bigger game in their eyes. They lost to BYU by a dozen on the road. Nevada crushed them by 30. They lost to Charleston Southern, at home by a bucket. 4 losses in their last 5 games. They are 4-6, and 2 of those wins are over Tulsa. I think the the guard play of Ole Miss keeps the tempo here. Over 80ppg. Not sure if the Redbirds keep the pace. 5* Best Bet OLE MISSÂ |

Taking TEXAS tonight. So I cashed, somehow, Michigan -4.5 in OT over UCLA. That line was moved up to 7 in spots. We get a gift missed layup for late buyers. But let's look at that a game. A game Michigan had no right to win. What do they have in the tank here? Oh yeah. You will hear, let's build off that great comeback. Blah, blah, blah. These guys are off that OT UCLA game which was after b2b Big 10 games, on the heels of North Carolina. Now they face the Shaka Smart Longhorns who will bring the defense and rebounding. Both teams with cupcakes coming up. Again. I can see this being a game for a half.

Well if they are really marshmallows we will find out in a quick hurry. Angry Bearcats in off loss to X. I think Cincy is a Final 8 team. I think they are just going to man handle the Gators.

I had to go back to the final regular season loss of 2013 to find the last time Wichita gave up 90 points. They got behind 13 in the second half to South Dak State last game and still won by 10. I think they were looking ahead to this trip. Payback time. If Shockers don't win this one by at least 10 I'll be shocked. 10* Money Bomb WICHITA STATE SHOCKERSÂ - even though this is a GOM play as an 11 or 12 unit game. -- We don't bet the house but will put a little more on this game then our usual 10* |

Cougars beat them by 13 last year. Time for a little revenge. This is a huge game for the team this year. If they think they are as good as they are suppose to be this season.

As much as Kansas gets new talent, they just seem to a plug a guy in who seems to have been there for 2-3 years. I just think Self does a good job with the young (one) and dones and having experience returning. Coach Cal always seems to be bringing in 5-6 star freshman to replace some top 10 draft picks.

Back to back Championship Games speaks volumes. This is what they have been waiting for. But, like Gonzaga, this team has been in some nail-biters this tournament.

Taking GONZAGA here. I can't knock South Carolina one bit. What a run. Knocking off Baylor, Duke and Florida. Great job. But I just think Gonzaga team is playing old, we are getting no respect card here. Let's be honest. As much as everyone is shocked South Carolina here. Everyone also thought that the Zags might be caught sleeping against Mike Daum and South Dakota State. Then it was Vandy who would knock them off in Round 2. Alas, Northwestern was not up to the challenge. But oh that Press Virginia. They will beat this over-rated WCC team. This is a tough squad. Gamecocks playing with house money for sure. But this Zags bunch is very good, and I believe under-rated since they are the WCC. They are that 'mid-major' that people don't realize aren't a mid-major anymore. These guys needed a deep run for all their early departures lately, and they got it. I think Few will have the troops ready. These guys took care of business all year. In conference, and out. Do we forget them beating Arizona, Florida and Iowa State? Best teams SC beat were Michigan and Florida all year before the NCAAs. They beat a Duke team with no PG. Baylor, who underachieves like that is their championship game. And Florida again. Please. Marquette went 19-13 this year. Not a special club at all.

But they have handled themselves beating what I believe are better teams. Fact is that heading into Mississippi, Tech had won 2 road games all year. Not sold on them after getting Indiana in a defacto home game. Who didn't want anything to do with the NIT and opted to play on the road. And fired their coach after the loss. Luck into Belmont at home. They did win at Mississippi. And took care of a hot WAC team in Bakersfield. Frogs do everything just a tad bit better in my eyes. 5* Best Bet TCU HORNED FROGSÂ |

And they backed that up as they gear up to try to make another Final Four run (3rd in 4 years). I just like Koenig as a 4 year guard here in the tournament. You have Happ and Hayes, another senior up front. Florida didn't have to worry about inside play against East Tenn State or Virginia, so it's easy to bring heavy pressure to the wings.

03-24-17 | South Carolina v. Baylor -3.5 | Top | 70-50 | Loss | -110 | 58 h 57 m | Show |
Taking BAYLOR here. I get Baylor was on a 5-5 run heading into the Big 12 Tourney and promptly lost to Kansas State. But that was then. They notched an easy win over New Mexico State. Then had to battle USC to the wire. I mean. I clearly remember these guys the #1 team in the land when I unload on West Virginia giving them 5 when the Bears came to visit. (we won that big play $) - The guys lost to tournament teams Kansas, Kansas State, West Virginia and Oklahoma State. Their worse loss was a 6 point road game at TCU. Which doesn't look all that bad since TCU is at MSG for the NIT quarter-finals. I am not anywhere near sold on South Carolina. So they beat Duke. I had Duke! - But prior to beating the NCAAs, want to know how many tournament teams they beat. 3 - Vermont - Michigan, in November, Wolverines shot 19% from the field, 7% from 3! - and Florida off an OT game. All at home. South Carolina playing with house money for sure. But I can only see them coming down after that win over Duke. The coach was crying after the game! A 2nd round game!! Give me the Bears. 10* Money Bomb BAYLOR BEARSÂ |

03-21-17 | Georgia Tech v. Ole Miss -5.5 | Top | 74-66 | Loss | -102 | 12 h 20 m | Show |
Taking MISSISSIPPI here. We had Georgia Tech as a nice home puppy when the knocked off Indiana. But we will fade away here. GT after beating the Hoosiers who then fired their coach, were obviously a team in turmoil. They then beat Belmont, who were probably riding high from knocking out Georgia. Now they go on the road, a place where they are 2-10 this year, to face SEC Ole Miss. The same Mississippi team that went into Syracuse and beat the Orange 85-80, while GT ended their regular season in the Dome getting trucked 90-61. The closest road losses - a 4pt loss at ND and 1pt loss at VT. Tech won by 3 in OT at VCU and beat NC State (another team that fired its coach). I can't trust them to hang here. Rebels beat Sweet 16 South Carolina to end their season. Beat MizzU in the SEC Tourney. Lost a 1pt game to Arkansas. Went on the road and beat a decent Monmouth and the aforementioned Syracuse squads. GT a middle of a road team at best, that plays poorly on the road. I look for Ole Miss to pack their bags for MSG. 5* Best Bet MISSISSIPPIÂ |

03-18-17 | St. Mary's v. Arizona -4.5 | Top | 60-69 | Win | 100 | 24 h 46 m | Show |
Taking ARIZONA here. I am trying to figure out why this line isn't closer to double digits. Who did Mary's beat that makes you think they hang here? They lost at home to Texas Arlington by 14. (we did cash that NIT winner as dog out-right over BYU). Back to Mary's. Lost to Zaga by 10, when somehow the line was down to 4. Lost at the Zags by 23. And lost to them by 18 in the conference tournament. So. How could was that WCC this year? Do we give them credit for wins over Dayton and Nevada? Stanford? I know how good the PAC 12 is. Arizona, Oregon and UCLA are top seeds here. If we look at the Zags 7pt win over Arizona earlier this year, we see 'Cats leading scorer didn't see the floor at all. What I do know is that Mary's lost to every good team it has faced. While Arizona, even with a 5pt loss to UCLA and 27pt loss to Oregon, redeemed themselves. Beating UCLA 96-85 on the road before their home loss to them. And after that home loss, getting sweat revenge when it counted with a 9pt win over the Bruins in the PAC 12 tourney, and winning the crown by knocking off the Ducks by 3. 10* Money Bomb ARIZONA WILDCATSÂ |

03-18-17 | Xavier v. Florida State -6 | Top | 91-66 | Loss | -105 | 20 h 8 m | Show |
Taking FLORIDA STATE here. I am not sold on Xavier. I did cash them in the Big East tournament +4 vs Creighton after they knocked off Butler and DePaul in the rounds before. But that was a desperate team that needed a win to get to the NCAAs. They had lost 6 straight before beating DePaul twice. Once to end their season, and then to open the Big East tourney. Look. They gutted out a pair of 2pt win over the Hall after their assist leader Sumner went down. But fact is, they won 3 games over DePaul and a desperation win over Butler that was tied with a minute to go. No way I trust them again a very good Seminoles team. Let's see Winthrop, Minnesota, Florida, Wake, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Duke, Notre Dame, Louisville, Miami.. Just the NCAA teams they knocked off this year. Xavier lost to Baylor, Lost Butler twice. Lost to Nova twice. Lost to Creighton twice. - I mean, you can't even compare, especially with the injury last month. Give me the Noles big. 8* Sure Shot FLORIDA STATEÂ |

03-18-17 | Northwestern v. Gonzaga -10 | Top | 73-79 | Loss | -115 | 19 h 16 m | Show |
Taking GONZAGA here. I get that Northwestern is a nice story. But this is where dreams come to die. Zaga overcame a terrible first half and put away SD State by 20 without breaking a sweat. Rest assured, there will be no adjustment period here. HC Few knows he needs to make some noise. These guys aren't a little Cinderella bunch anymore. They were a dominate team all year and have the 1 seed. Northwestern was given a gift foul that they delivered on. And, it probably should have been more seeing how Seton Hall had a flagrant called against them today that totally blew the spread and any chance of a win. These guys took care of Florida, Arizona and Iowa State all on neutral floors. I think those teams are better than Northwestern. Sorry ESPN Greeny, your boys are in for a rude awakening this afternoon. 5* Best Bet GONZAGAÂ |

03-17-17 | Wichita State -6 v. Dayton | Top | 64-58 | Push | 0 | 102 h 7 m | Show |
Taking WICHITA STATE here. What a complete joke? What the heck does the committee have against the Shockers? They screwed them in their undefeated year putting them in the Kentucky bracket and here as a 10 seed they get Kentucky again as a 2 seed. I do like Dayton. But the Shockers have been running roughshod over teams.. Try these margin of victories on for size - 20,15,26,19,26,29,19,17,18,41, .8. 15,42,26,17 - you get the picture yet. Forge the 8pt win. That is an anomaly. Minimum 15 points. So double what they are laying here. If you don't think they will be motivated to crush the Flyers you are sorely mistaken. 5* Best Bet WICHITA STATEÂ |

03-17-17 | USC v. SMU -6.5 | Top | 66-65 | Loss | -107 | 5 h 23 m | Show |
Taking SMU here. 16 straight wins for the 30 victory Mustangs. People talk about seeds, but man. How about the way that the AAC is looked at. Terrible seeds by SMU and Cincy. No respect. If Connecticut made the dance, they would be on a 5 line based on their name. So USC in off a huge comeback win. They might feel good about themselves. They beat SMU back in November 78-73. In fact SMU lost to Michigan, USC and Boise all away from home back in November. But even with those non-conference losses, Vegas still sees theses guys as a decent size favorite. Let's roll the dice on the fave here. 8* Sure Shot SMU MUSTANGSÂ |

03-17-17 | Seton Hall +1 v. Arkansas | Top | 71-77 | Loss | -105 | 62 h 56 m | Show |
Taking SETON HALL here. Not getting fancy in my thinking here. Both teams lost in the conference championship games. No harm in that. But this really rests on the Hall defense getting the job done. And the fact that they are in their 2nd straight tournament. They went to Gonzaga last year. And that is a great growing experience. Arkansas is a 25 win program. Clearly not a push-over. Just think the experience factor is high here. 10* Money Bomb SETON HALLÂ |

03-16-17 | Nevada +6 v. Iowa State | Top | 73-84 | Loss | -110 | 33 h 50 m | Show |
Taking NEVADA here. What team is going to play the disrespected card more than the Wolfpack? They weren't going to be invited unless they won the MWC. This is a 29 win team. They are pretty good. I get people normally see San Diego State out here. But this bunch has something to really prove here. I had Iowa State through the Big 12 and even at +475 to start the tournament there. Not a surprise as they have won this tournament a few times over the last couple years. Just think they might be counting their chickens before they hatch here. 10* Money Bomb NEVADA WOLFPACK |

03-16-17 | Virginia Tech +5.5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 74-84 | Loss | -105 | 47 h 42 m | Show |
Taking VIRGINIA TECH here. Almost put this out on the sites ML +200. VT had reeled off wins in 4 of 5 before Florida State beat them in the ACC tournament. I just can't trust Wiscy. Yeah, they some Final Four hold-over guys. But before their season finale win over Minny, and 2 tourney Ws, they had lost 5 of 6. So what team is showing up? The one that run out of the building Sunday? The one that beat Indiana, who we faded and cashed with Georgia Tech as a nice dog with? ACC was much better than the Big 10 this year. Va Tech went into Michigan and beat the Wolverines. And also beat Nebraska on the road. They beat Duke, Virginia, Miami. These guys play for Buzz. Wiscy was 21-3 in early February. I make it a habit of not backing teams on a slide. Especially come tourney time. And ones that are laying points to boot. Live dog here. 5* Best Bet VIRGINIA TECHÂ |

03-16-17 | St. Peter's +105 v. Albany NY | Top | 59-55 | Win | 105 | 44 h 39 m | Show |
Taking ST. PETERS here. So, the Peacocks have had some time to lick their wounds getting bounced as a 2 seed in MAAC tourney, no such luck for Albany. Fresh off of Sunday's 56-53 nail-biter. They have to be thinking. Are we really in the CIT? We had a 9pt lead with under 9 to play. Did we really miss 10 of 11 shots? Did we really lose a lead with 38 seconds to play? St Pete's defense will get after the Danes, who, I believe have zero heart or motivation for this game. 10* Money Bomb ST PETER's |

03-15-17 | Texas-Arlington +5.5 v. BYU | Top | 105-89 | Win | 100 | 33 h 9 m | Show |
Taking UT ARLINGTON here. Also might sprinkle some ML +185 on this. Not sure of the status of Jalen Jones otherwise this could have been possibly a Top 10* Look. I had UT to win the Sun Belt. Make no mistake, this is a good team. As I have said before, road wins at Texas and St Mary's shows us these guys can play. Now they head to a tough BYU court. Most teams getting NIT bids feel snubbed from the NCAAs and fail to show up. Arlington is one of those teams that has to win their conference tournament to get a bid. So they will be especially ready tonight to take care of a 'bigger' named school. 5* Best Bet UT ARLINGTON |

03-14-17 | Indiana v. Georgia Tech +3 | Top | 63-75 | Win | 100 | 27 h 3 m | Show |
Taking GEORGIA TECH here. So Indiana gives up the home court because they wouldn't have a crowd? Maybe they are just upset about this underachieving team they have. Look. Hoosiers are very talented, that is why they are favored on the road. But I have to question the motivation for them. Yellowjacks beat ND and Florida State here b2b and also knocked off North Carolina and NIT 2 seed Clemson at home. You know they are pumped just to be playing and they get a big name like Indiana on their court. 5* Best Bet GEORGIA TECHÂ |

03-14-17 | College of Charleston v. Colorado State -3.5 | Top | 74-81 | Win | 100 | 25 h 33 m | Show |
Taking COLORADO STATE here. These guys 9-2 SU last 11 with Nevada the only ones to knock them off. What a year from this group! Who would have thought they would be here after their January. These guys have been playing with 7 scholarship players. Can't under estimate the elevation either. Charleston not accustomed to it that's for sure. Rams were upset 2 years ago here as a NIT 1 Seed by South Dakota State. Can't see them failing after the run they had this year. 8* Sure Shot COLORADO STATEÂ |

03-11-17 | Iowa State +3.5 v. West Virginia | Top | 80-74 | Win | 100 | 4 h 58 m | Show |
Going IOWA STATE here. Had these guys on my Big 12 Tournament Talk video at +475 so why would I not take them now. ML +135 would have been what I put on the site, but slumping, so I just need some wins to get us back on the right path. Like I said the other 2 days taking this team. Veteran team. Have own this before. Focused. West Va pressure defense in b2b2b won't be as effective. They shot what 26% last night. Forced nary a TO. But they are a good time so they won. But they won't be able to pull that with these group. 10* Money Bomb IOWA STATEÂ |

03-10-17 | George Washington +3 v. Richmond | Top | 67-70 | Push | 0 | 10 h 15 m | Show |
Taking GEORGE WASHINGTON again! Yes, we lost a terrible 10* on them last night. But they can't be any worse than that. They had 13 points at half-time and didn't cover by a bucket putting up 40 in the 2nd half. Richmond beat them already this year. But as I said, this team has some solid pieces. Said yesterday they won last years NIT. They won't back down from the Spiders. Underdog 12-4 ATS last 16 helps a little. 5* Best Bet GEORGE WASHINGTON  -- Be Sure to Check Back after 2pm for any Night Game Additions |

03-10-17 | Duke v. North Carolina -3 | Top | 93-83 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 49 m | Show |
Taking NORTH CAROLINA here. Time slot is a boon for Duke after that tough affair with UL. These guys split their games this year. NC put in a workman like game over Miami and just drubbed The U to death by 25. It was a nice way to start the day as we went 3-0 at noon. Duke had to battle back, and if it was for horrible FT shooting, UL would be in this game. Forget the gambling aspect. I can't understand how these kids today can chuck the ball from 30FT, but can't hit a FT with nary a soul guarding you. All I do is teach my kids basketball team FT shooting! They are FREE THROWS - ok, back to this game. These guys have played 2 high scoring games already. But it's tourney time. I expect a bit of a slow down. Especially with Duke off that kind of game. I think NC is the team to beat. 10* Money Bomb NORTH CAROLINAÂ |

03-10-17 | TCU v. Iowa State -4 | Top | 63-84 | Win | 100 | 21 h 44 m | Show |
Taking IOWA STATE here. How am I not taking these guys? Cashed them yesterday. Said on my Big 12 Tournament Talk video that these guys +700 were our dark-horse play. And now they get TCU off a huge upset. Now, regular season and opening rounds of tournament, I will fade away on a line I think is short. TCU had dropped 7 straight coming into the Big 12 Tournament. Now they have 2 wins under their belt. You have 14-15 losses, I don't there is any way you should be in the NCAAs. Stop with this 6-7-8th team in these big conferences. Give me the Belmonts and Monmouths, mid-major madness. I think the bell tolls for Cinder-Fella tonight. Cyclones the better team. So the Horned Frogs won 2 straight. Iowa State won this thing in 2014 as a 4 seed and 2015 as a 2 seed. 8* Sure Shot IOWA STATEÂ |

03-10-17 | Michigan v. Purdue -3 | Top | 74-70 | Loss | -103 | 3 h 16 m | Show |
Taking PURDUE today. Michigan rolled these guys by 12 handing them their only loss since the end of January. Wolverines with a lot of emotion spent in yesterday win crushing Illinois. The plane crash thing is one thing. But they you had them super pumped about the Illini calling them soft and that Illinois is tough. You knew something extra special was coming from Michigan. Well I think that here. Boilermakers with something to prove again a team that their worse defeat of the year. 5* Best Bet PURDUEÂ |
