Duke @ Virginia 9:00 PM ET Game# 569-570 Play On: Virginia -4.5 (10*) Virginia is coming of an 80-78 upset loss at Virginia Tech. Nevertheless, the Cavaliers are a perfect 4-0 SU&ATS at home this season following a loss in their previous game, and won by a substantial average of 19.7 points per contest. Virginia’s defensive numbers at home are extremely impressive to say the least. The Cavaliers are allowing a paltry 49.7 points per game on their home floor, and have held its opponents to a mere 36.1% shooting. Duke is just 2-3 straight up and 1-4 ATS in conference road games this season.

|||||||
02-14-17 | Dayton v. St. Louis +14 | 85-63 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 51 m | Show | |
Dayton @ St. Louis 8:00 PM ET Game# 737-738 Play On: St. Louis +14.0 (5*) Dayton is coming off a huge road win against a very good Rhode Island team. My professional intuition tells me they’ll be a bit flat against what’s perceived to be the worst team in the Atlantic 10. Nevertheless, St. Louis has won 4 straight at home, and has gone an extremely profitable 6-0 ATS in its last 6 and 9-1 ATS during their previous 10 lined games. Bet on St. Louis plus the points for a 5* wager. |

02-14-17 | Buffalo -3 v. Central Michigan | 99-93 | Win | 100 | 5 h 41 m | Show | |

Additionally, the Bulls have won 6 of their last 8, and its only 2 losses came by exactly 1-point.

That’s not good news considering they’ll be facing a Buffalo team that’s averaging 88.0 points per game, shooting 52.3%, and is converting on a very good 38.7% of their 3-point attempts during their previous 5 contests. Bet on Buffalo minus the small number for a 5* wager. |

As a matter of fact, since 1/13/2016, Syracuse is 12-1 in conference home games, and they were also a sparkling 10-3 ATS. Syracuse will be seeking their 3rd win at home this year against a nationally ranked opponent. They’ve already knocked off Florida State and Virginia.

Nevada @ San Diego State 4:00 PM ET Game# 451-452 Play On: San Diego State -3.5 (5*) San Diego State is coming off a disappointing loss as a 7.0-point favorite at San Jose State. Meanwhile, Nevada is coming off a 104-77 blowout win over conference rival UNLV in their previous game. Any home favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points that’s coming off a straight up favorite loss, versus an opponent coming off a conference win by 20 points or more, resulted in those home favorites going 65-32 ATS (67%) since 1997. Bet on San Diego State minus the points for a 5* wager. |

Oregon @ USC 10:30 PM ET Game# 685-686 Play On: USC +3.0 (5*) Oregon has cooled off a bit after going on a school record 17-game winning streak. They’ve dropped each of their previous 2 road games against Colorado and UCLA. As a matter of fact, all 4 of Oregon’s losses this season have come in games not played on their home floor. Conversely, USC enters today riding a 5-game win streak, and has covered in each of their last 4. The Trojans have been red-hot offensively during this current win streak, scoring 85.2 points per game, and converting a sizzling hot 43.4% of their 3-point attempts. Bet on USC plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Samford @ Furman 4:00 PM ET Game# 707-708 Play On: Furman -7.0 (5*) Samford is coming off a heartbreaking and grueling 131-127 loss to Wofford on Thursday night, and the game needed 4 overtimes to be decided. It will be a tough turnaround after playing that mentality draining contest, and then having another road game less than 48 hours later. Furman enters this contest riding a 7-game winning streak, and they covered on 6 of those occasions. They also own a 10-point road win at Samford earlier this season. Furman has been extremely stout defensively during its home games, allowing opponents a paltry 58.5 points per contest, and holding them to a mere 36.9% shooting from the field. Bet on Furman minus the points for a 5* wager. |

02-04-17 | Oklahoma State +11 v. West Virginia | 82-75 | Win | 100 | 6 h 12 m | Show | |
Oklahoma State @ West Virginia 5:00 PM ET Game# 607-608 Play On: Oklahoma State +11.0 (5*) After losing their first 6 Big 12 Conference games, Oklahoma State has bounced back to go 4-0 SU&ATS during it next 4. The Cowboys have also covered 4 straight road games against conference foes. Oklahoma State will be playing with revenge stemming from a 17-point home loss to West Virginia on 12/30/16. However, the Cowboys went just 20-33 (60%) from the free throw line in that contest, and that’s well below its season average of 76.3%. One thing you can count on is West Virginia sending their opponents to the free throw line plenty of times, and that’s a result of their intense full court pressure defense. Oklahoma State is averaging 87.5 point scored and made an excellent 47.5% of their 3-point attempts during its previous 5 games. West Virginia has allowed their last 5 opponents to knock down a combined 39.4% of its 3-point tries. Bet on Oklahoma State plus the points for a 5* wager. |
|||||||
02-04-17 | William & Mary v. Towson -1 | 80-82 | Win | 100 | 5 h 8 m | Show | |
William & Mary @ Towson 4:00 PM ET Game# 589-590 Play On: Towson -1.0 (5*) William & Mary has been unbeaten at home this season. Nevertheless, they’re a dismal 2-9 in true road games, and that includes 0-3 SU&ATS during their previous 3 conference away tilts. Towson enters Saturday’s game having won 6 of their last 7 games. Bet on Towson for a 5* wager. |
|||||||
02-04-17 | Texas +7 v. TCU | 63-78 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 14 m | Show | |
Texas @ TCU 1:00 PM ET Game# 535-536 Play On: Texas +7.0 (5*) Although the overall record of Texas doesn’t indicate it, but the Longhorns have played very well recently and just haven’t been rewarded. As a matter of fact, Texas is 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games as a pick or underdog. The Longhorns have seen 6 of their last 9 losses come by 5 points or less. TCU is coming off a 6-point road win against a struggling Kansas State team. That victory ended a 0-4 SU&ATS slide for the Horned Frogs. Texas will also be out to avenge a 3-point home loss to TCU on 1/11. Bet on Texas plus the points for a 5* wager. |
|||||||
02-04-17 | Virginia v. Syracuse +6.5 | 62-66 | Win | 100 | 14 h 16 m | Show | |
Virginia @ Syracuse 12:00 PM ET Game# 523-524 Play On: Syracuse +6.5 (5*) Syracuse is a perfect 5-0 SU&ATS in conference home games this season. The Orange have been vastly better defensively at home than on the road this season. Syracuse is coming off a thrilling overtime win at NC State on Wednesday night that saw them overcome a 16-point deficit with 8 minutes left to play. They’ll certainly have their hands full against an excellent and national ranked Virginia squad. Nevertheless, I love the home underdog value in this one. Bet on Syracuse plus the points for a 5* wager. |
|||||||
02-04-17 | Purdue v. Maryland +3 | 73-72 | Win | 100 | 14 h 15 m | Show | |
Purdue @ Maryland 12:00 PM ET Game# 525-526 Play On: Maryland +3.0 (5*) If a 20-2 Maryland club needed any incentive, all they need to do is point toward being a home underdog in this contest. The Terrapins will enter Saturday’s game have gone 7-0 SU&ATS in their last 7 games to boot. Purdue is 2-3 straight up and 1-4 ATS in true road games this season. Let’s keep it simple, give me the home dog. Bet on Maryland plus the small number for a 5* wager. |
|||||||
02-02-17 | Gonzaga v. BYU +10 | Top | 85-75 | Push | 0 | 8 h 28 m | Show |
Gonzaga @ BYU 11:00 PM ET Game# 759-760 Play On: BYU +10.0 (10*) I’m not going to waste time trying to poke holes at undefeated and #1 ranked Gonzaga. Quite frankly there’s little if any holes to poke. However, this is a sizable number to cover on the road against a quality BYU team. BYU has gone 12-1 at home this season, and is 5-0 during its last 5 in Provo with an average victory margin of 21.2 points per game. Besides St. Mary’s, BYU is the only West Coast Conference team that can hold its own on the boards against Gonzaga. Additionally, BYU has an almost identical strength of schedule rating compared to Gonzaga. Bet on BYU plus the points for a 10* Top Play. |

02-01-17 | Florida State v. Miami (Fla) -3.5 | Top | 75-57 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 48 m | Show |
Florida State v@ Miami 8:00 PM ET Game# 555-556 Play On: Miami -3.5 (10*) If this game were to have been played 2 weeks ago, my lean would’ve have favored Florida State at that juncture. Nevertheless, it’s about living in the present. Florida State is just 2-3 in its last 5 games, and failed to cover any of those contests. The Seminoles have shot an abysmal 34% from the field over their last 3 games. They were handedly beaten in their last 2 road games against Georgia Tech and Syracuse. Miami is 10-1 at home this season, and that includes a decisive upset 77-62 win as a 6.0-point underdog against North Carolina in their previous game. Their only home loss came by 5 against a then red-hot Notre Dame team. Bet on Miami minus the small number for a 10* Top Play wager. |

01-29-17 | Virginia v. Villanova -5.5 | 59-61 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 22 m | Show | |
Virginia @ Villanova 1:00 PM ET Game# 849-850 Pick: Villanova -5.5 (5*) Virginia is coming off an extremely impressive 17-point win at #14 Notre Dame in their previous game. However, the worst thing may have occurred for Virginia as it pertains to this matchup on Sunday, and that’s #1 Villanova was upset at Marquette in their previous game. Adding more salt to Villanova’s open wound was the fact they blew a 17-point 2nd half lead in that contest. Beware of the wounded animal. Bet on Villanova minus the points for a 5* wager. |
|||||||
01-28-17 | Fresno State +1 v. Utah State | 65-78 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |
Fresno State @ Utah State 9:00 PM ET Game# 655-656 Play On: Fresno State +1.0 (5*) Utah State has gone 0-4 SU&ATS in their last 4 games and lost by 12.5 points per contest. The Aggies have allowed 74 points or more and allowed opponent to shoot 50% or better in 3 of its last 4 outings. Fresno State has been impressive in going 3-0 SU&ATS during their previous 3 games, and especially considering the level of competition they faced. They defeated 3 solid Mountain West Conference teams in Boise State, Colorado State, and Nevada. Bet on Fresno State for a 5* wager. |
|||||||
01-28-17 | Boise State v. Wyoming -1 | Top | 80-65 | Loss | -103 | 6 h 23 m | Show |
Boise State @ Wyoming 6:00 PM ET Game# 611-612 Play On: Wyoming -1.0 (10*) Wyoming has been extremely good at home this season, evidenced by their 11-1 record in Laramie. The Cowboys only home loss came by 5 against a very good Nevada team. Boise State is just 2-3 in their last 5 games and has struggled offensively in doing so. During that stretch, the Broncos shot a combined 40.4% from the field and converted on only 30.9% of their 3-point attempts. Bet on Wyoming for a 10* Top Play wager. |
|||||||
01-28-17 | Florida State v. Syracuse +3.5 | 72-82 | Win | 100 | 13 h 46 m | Show | |
Florida State @ Syracuse 12:00 PM ET Game# 521-522 Play On: Syracuse +3.5 (5*) After going on a torrid run that elevated them to a #6 national ranking, Florida State has lost its last 2 games to Georgia tech and Louisville. During those pair of defeats, the Seminoles had a poor rebound margin of -8.5 per game, shot a miserable 32.1% from the field, and made just 62.8% of its free throw attempts. Talk about a Jekyll and Hyde team. Syracuse is 0-4 SU&ATS in ACC road games this season, and lost by a substantial 16.0 points per game. However, they’re the exact opposite in conference home games by going 4-0 SU&ATS in that role. Syracuse has been stout defensively at the Carrier Dome this season, and especially so in conference play. Bet on Syracuse plus the points for a 5* wager. |
|||||||
01-28-17 | Notre Dame v. Georgia Tech +6.5 | 60-62 | Win | 100 | 13 h 45 m | Show | |
Georgia Tech @ Notre Dame 12:00 PM ET Game# 517-518 Play On: Georgia Tech +6.5 (5*) Georgia Tech fits my prerequisite as a college basketball home underdog betting value. They’re a very good defensive team, and especially so on their home floor. Secondly, they have a winning record and playing in the second half of the season. Furthermore, Georgia Tech is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games and were +9.5 or more in each of those contests. As a matter of fact, they won 3 of those 5 games straight up. The Yellow Jackets already knocked off Florida State, North Carolina, and Clemson on their home floor. Notre Dame is coming off a 17-point home loss to Virginia. That Cavaliers team is also a stout defensive team. Bet on Georgia Tech plus the points for a 5* wager. |
|||||||
01-27-17 | Green Bay +7.5 v. Oakland | 80-72 | Win | 100 | 5 h 5 m | Show | |
Wisconsin-Green Bay @ Oakland 9:00 PM ET Game# 883-884 Play On: Wisconsin-Green Bay +7.5 (5*) Oakland has lost 3 of their last 4 games. Included in that stretch was an 0-2 SU&ATS at home when they were installed as 13.5 and 18.5-point favorites. Oakland is coming off a 88-67 loss at Wright State in their previous game. This is a solid Green Bay team with a more than respectable 14-7 record. Any team (Green Bay) that allows 74 to 78 points per game, versus an opponent that allows 67 to 74 points per game, and that opponent (Oakland) is coming off a loss by 20 points or more, resulted in those teams going 56-22 ATS (71.8%) during the past 5 seasons. They also went a stellar 51-28 (64.6%) straight up in those contests. Considering this college basketball betting angle favors the underdog, it creates a substantial betting value. Play on Green Bay plus the points for a 5* wager. |
|||||||
01-25-17 | Butler v. Seton Hall +2.5 | 61-54 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 23 m | Show | |
Butler @ Seton Hall 8:00 PM ET Game# 557-558 Play On: Seton Hall +2.5 (5*) Seton Hall is a perfect 8-0 at home this season with a victory margin of 17.5 points per game. Seton Hall is an experienced team which has played in plenty of big games the past 2 season. Being installed as a home underdog against a nationally ranked opponent should provide plenty of motivation. As good as Butler has been this season, they’ve gone an uninspiring 2-3 straight up and 1-4 ATS this season in their true road games. Bet on Seton Hall for a 5* wager. |
|||||||
01-24-17 | Villanova v. Marquette +6 | 72-74 | Win | 100 | 3 h 22 m | Show | |
Villanova @ Marquette 8:00 PM ET Play On: Marquette +6.0 (5*) These teams met at Villanova earlier this season. Villanova shot a torrid 65% from the floor and made 60% of its 3-point attempts. Nevertheless, despite that superb shooting performance, they won by just 12, and barely covered as an 11.0-point favorite. I don’t think it would be going out on a limb to say that Villanova won’t be able to duplicate that rare shooting exhibition, and especially so on the road. Marquette is 10-1 at home this season with their only blemish coming against nationally ranked Wisconsin. I love the value on the home underdog in this one. Bet on Marquette plus the points for a 5* wager. |

West Virginia @ Kansas State 6:00 PM ET Play On: Kansas State +3.5 (5*) West Virginia’s full court pressure defense presents a high risk and high reward.

Such has been the case of late. West Virginia’s last 5 opponents have scored 75.2 points per game, and shot 47.8% from the floor. The Mountaineers have also allowed 24 free throws per contest during that stretch, and they’ll be facing an opponent (Kansas State) today that’s converted on a stellar 76.4% of their attempts at the charity stripe through their last 5 games. Kansas State is a stellar 9-1 at home this season, and their only defeat was a 9-point setback to highly ranked Baylor. The Wildcats other 3 losses this season all came by 4 points or less.

However, the Wildcats will be in the wrong place at the wrong time on Saturday. Any favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 (UCLA) that’s failed to cover in 6 or 7 of their previous 8 games, and both teams in the contest have a win percentage of .800 or better, resulted in those favorites going 74-36 ATS (67.3%) since 1997.

They’ve knocked off Washington State by 9 and San Diego State by 6 already this season on their way to an 8-2 start. Furthermore, the Ramblers nearly upset NC State in a 2-point loss, and did so as a 10-.5-point road underdog. Loyola is a perfect 6-0 at home this season, and has won by a decisive average of 24.0 points per game. Milwaukee has lost games to Montana, South Dakota State, and East Tennessee State thus far. That’s not exactly a shining resume. Bet on Loyola-Illinois for a 5* wager. |

12-10-16 | Notre Dame +6.5 v. Villanova | 66-74 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 37 m | Show | |
Notre Dame vs. Villanova 12;00 PM ET Play On: Notre Dame +6.5 (5*) Notre Dame will be up to the challenge on Saturday against the defending national champions and #1 ranked Villanova Wildcats. The #26 Fighting Irish are an excellent shooting team, and have couple that with stingy defensive play. As good as Villanova is, they’ve allowed opponents to shoot 50% or better on 3 separate occasions this season. Notre Dame has what it takes to hang tough throughout, and an outright upset is a realistic possibility. However, we’ll take the points as an additional bonus. Bet on Notre Dame plus the points for a 5* wager. |

12-08-16 | Vanderbilt v. Middle Tennessee -2 | 48-71 | Win | 100 | 5 h 46 m | Show | |
Vanderbilt @ Middle Tennessee State 7:30 PM ET Play On: Middle Tennessee State -2.0 This is an unheralded but very good Middle Tennessee State teams that’s 8-1, and is currently riding a 6-games win streak. Included in this current winning streak was a 15-point blowout win at Alabama, and they led by 29 at halftime of that contest. Bow the Blue Raiders will have a rare opportunity to play a power conference team at home, and I strongly believe they’ll be more than up to the challenge. Vanderbilt is an uninspiring 5-4 this year, and this will be its first true road game of the season. The Commodores have lost at home to Bucknell, and were blown out by 24 against Marquette. That’s not exactly a shining resume. Vanderbilt is an excellent 3-point shooting team. However, Middle Tennessee has only allowed their opponents to convert 29% of their 3-point attempts this season. Bet on Middle Tennessee State for a 5* wager. |

12-07-16 | Xavier v. Colorado +3 | 66-68 | Win | 100 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
Xavier @ Colorado 9:00 PM ET Play On: Colorado +3.0 (5*) #8 Xavier was exposed a bit in their 15-point loss to #4 Baylor in their previous game. The Musketeers starting 5 is one of the best in the country. Nevertheless, I have serious concerns about the quality of their depth coming off the bench. Colorado has proven to be an excellent defensive team thus far, and that’s always a prerequisite of mine when searching for home underdog betting value. The Buffaloes are limiting their opponents to just 37.6% shooting from the floor thus far. Colorado is also strong on the boards, evidenced by their excellent +9 rebound per game differential. This is an experienced home underdog that’s hungry for a signature win. Bet on Colorado plus the points for a 5* wager. |

12-07-16 | George Washington v. Temple -8.5 | 66-63 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 27 m | Show | |
George Washington @ Temple 7:30 PM ET Play On: Temple -8.5 (5*) After getting off to a somewhat shaky start to the season, Temple has reeled off 5 straight wins while covering 4 of those contests, including victories over #15 West Virginia, and very good Florida State team. George Washington is an uninspiring 5-4 this season with all things being considered. They’ve had narrow wins over Harvard by 3, a terrible South Florida team by 1, Siena by 2, and Maryland-Eastern Shore by 4. The Colonials are a shell of the team that won the 2016 NIT last April. Play on Temple minus the points for a 5* wager. |

Butler @ Indiana State 7:00 PM ET Play On: Indiana State +10.5 (10*) I’m not going to sit here and waste my time or yours writing about Butler’s flaws. Quite frankly, it would be too difficult to do based on their superb performance level thus far. Don’t get fooled by Indiana State’s mediocre 4-4 record this season. The Sycamores 4 losses have come by a combined 10 points. Besides, Indiana State is a perfect 5-0 ATS this season as an underdog. Bet on Indiana State plus the points for a 5* wager. |

12-06-16 | Northeastern +2.5 v. Harvard | 80-86 | Loss | -103 | 2 h 53 m | Show | |
Northeastern @ Harvard 7:00 PM ET Play On: Northeastern +2.5 (5*) Northeastern is 4-4, and their 4 losses have come by a combined 11 points. With a little bit of luck, they could be 8-0 right now. Northeastern also owns an upset win at Connecticut earlier this season. The Huskies are converting on a very good 38.4% of their 3-point attempts, and average getting to the free throw line an impressive 26 times per game. Considering Harvard allows its opponents to attempt 28 free throws per game this season, I just can’t ignore that stat line, and especially when weighing this is a virtual even game regarding the point spread. Harvard isn’t a very good offensive team. The Crimson have a shot a terrible 40.9% from the floor and made only 32.5% of its 3-point tries. Bet on Northeastern plus the small number for a 5* wager. |

12-03-16 | Oklahoma State +2 v. Maryland | 70-71 | Win | 100 | 12 h 33 m | Show | |
Oklahoma State @ Maryland 9:00 PM ET Play On: Oklahoma State +2.0 (5*) These teams have faced 1 common opponent this season, and that’s Georgetown. Maryland overcame a 7-point deficit with a little over a minute to play to defeat the Hoyas by 1. Conversely, Oklahoma State overwhelmed Georgetown during a 27-point blowout win. The Cowboys only loss this season came in Maui against North Carolina. Maryland is coming off a 14-point home loss to Pittsburgh in their previous game. The Terrapins have been a bit lucky on a few occasions this season to pull out narrow wins, and in my opinion aren’t as good as their record indicates. They’ll be facing an explosive Oklahoma State team today that averages 98.9 points per game, and has topped the century mark in 4 of their 7 games played. Bet on Oklahoma State for a 5* wager. |

12-03-16 | UCLA +11 v. Kentucky | 97-92 | Win | 100 | 3 h 20 m | Show | |
UCLA @ Kentucky 12:30 PM ET Play On: UCLA +11.0 (5*) #11 UCLA is 8-0 and has outscored opponents by 24.0 points per game. They’ve covered 5 straight games, and were a favorite on each occasion. The Bruins averaging a lofty 97.0 points scored per contest and are shooting a sensational 55.3% from the field. Furthermore, they’ve converted on an extremely impressive 45.6% of their 3-point attempts, and that’s always a great equalizer for an underdog. This is an experienced UCLA team with 4 returning starters, and that will pay dividends when playing at legendary Rupp Arena before over 23,000 Kentucky supporters. I’m not going to pretend that top ranked Kentucky has flaws that can be exposed. Nevertheless, this line went from an opener of 9.5 to 11.0, and occurred due to an early large volume of bets going on the favorite. As impressive as Kentucky is, I’m of the belief they’re a tad bit overvalued in this spot when considering who their opponent is. Bet on UCLA plus the points for a 5* wager. |

12-02-16 | Alabama +3 v. Texas | 68-77 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 22 m | Show | |
Alabama @ Texas 9:30 PM ET Play On: Alabama +3.0 (5*) Texas is 0-3 SU&ATS over their past 3 games, lost by an average of 14.0 points per contest, and scored 61 points or less in each of those contests. As a result, they enter tonight with a 3-3 record. The Longhorns are a very inexperienced team that returned no starters from a season ago. Play against any team (Texas) which has scored 65 points or less in each of their previous 3 games, playing in the first 10 games of the season, and has 1 or less returning starters from a season ago. By fading those teams in that precise situation, it resulted in going 152-46 (76.8%) straight up since 1997. Since the team (Texas) were going against is the favorite tonight, the straight up numbers in this betting angle take on added significance and betting value. Bet on Alabama plus the points for a 5* wager. |

11-30-16 | North Carolina v. Indiana +5.5 | Top | 67-76 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show |
North Carolina @ Indiana 9:00 PM ET Play On: Indiana +5.5 (10*) There’s good news for Indiana in regards to leading scorer James Blackmon (20.5 PPG). After missing the Hoosiers previous game due to a knee injury, he’s listed as probable for tonight. Since the start of last season, Indiana is a perfect 20-0 at home. Despite having to face a North Carolina team which has looked virtually unbeatable so far, Indiana’s recent success at home provides substantial betting value when considering they’re an underdog. Indiana is one of the few teams in the country which can hold their own on the boards against North Carolina. I wouldn’t be shocked at all to see an upset in this game. However, let’s not get greedy and take the points as an additional bonus. Bet on Indiana as a 10* Top Play wager. |

Tennessee State @ Vanderbilt 8:00 PM ET Play On: Tennessee State +7.0 (5*) Vanderbilt enters tonight with a less than impressive 3-3 record, and that includes a 3-point home loss to Bucknell. Conversely, Tennessee State will be out to prove their 6-0 start to the season hasn’t been a fluke, and beating a power conference team on the road would go a long way in that regard. Tennessee State is a perfect 3-0 SU&ATS in true road games, and won by an average of 11.0 points per game. Bet on Tennessee State plus the points for a 5* wager. |

11-28-16 | Butler v. Utah +1.5 | 68-59 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 4 m | Show | |
Butler @ Utah 9:00 PM ET Play On: Utah +1.5 (5*) #18 Butler will be playing 3rd game in 5 days on the west coast. The Bulldogs are a perfect 6-0 and have played an extremely tough schedule thus far. This appears to me to be an unfavorable spot for Butler. Utah (4-0) has played 4 cream-puffs thus far and all have come on their home floor. Despite that soft slate of games thus far, I can’t ignore the defensive play of the Utes during those 4 wins. They’ve allowed just 52.0 points per game and have held their opponents to a paltry 27.7% shooting from the field. Bet on the Utah Utes for a 5* wager. |

11-26-16 | Kansas State -1.5 v. Maryland | Top | 68-69 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 39 m | Show |
Kansas State vs. Maryland 9:30 PM ET Play On: Kansas State -1.5 (10*) This is the Barclays Center Classic Championship Game played in Brooklyn, New York. Granted Maryland has started 6-0. However, I’m not enamored with their play in doing so. As a matter of fact, they’ve been very fortunate to win on 3 separate occasions. The Terrapins were beneficiaries of a Georgetown meltdown, and overcame an 8-point deficit with a little over a minute left to come away with a 76-75 win. They also had a closer than expected 5-point home win over Towson State. Then last night, they overcame a 12-point halftime deficit versus Richmond to win in overtime. Kansas State enters today with a 5-0 record and has won by an average of 19.2 points per game. The Wildcats have been terrific defensively, holding opponents to 56.8 points per game, and limiting them to an abysmal 35.4% shooting. They’re not bad offensively as well, shooting a stellar 48.9%, and converting on 40.6% of its 3-point tries. Bet on Kansas State for a 10* Top Play wager. |

East Tennessee St. @ South Dakota State 5:30 PM ET Play On: East Tennessee St. -6.5 (5*) This is an East Tennessee State that extremely entertaining to watch, and by the way, they’re a good team. They’ve gone 3-1 thus far, and all 4 games were versus Division 1 opponents. East Tennessee St. is a dynamic offensive team that averages 87.0 points per game, shoots a superb 57.8% from the floor, and has converted on a stellar 40% of their 3-point attempts. Conversely, South Dakota State is 0-5 SU&ATS against Division 1 foes this season, and lost by an average of 14.4 points per game. Contrary to their opponent on Saturday, South Dakota State has struggled offensively, and has shot 34% or less from the field in 4 of their 5 losses.

Butler trounced the Bison 86-60, and Vanderbilt was upset by Bucknell 75-72 as a 12.0-point home favorite. Vanderbilt also opened the season by sustaining a 24-point loss to an average at best Marquette team. Bet on Butler minus the points for a 5* wager. |

Illinois vs. West Virginia 2:30 PM ET Play On: West Virginia -8.5 (5*) Illinois is coming off a shocking 84-80 home loss to Winthrop this past Monday. They committed an alarming 22 turnovers in that contest, and allowed Winthrop to shoot 50% from the field. Considering West Virginia’s relentless defensive play has forced 27.0 turnovers per game on their way to a 3-0 start, it doesn’t bode well for the underdog Illini. West Virginia also held those 3 opponents to 35.7% shooting and 55.3 points per game. Bet on West Virginia minus the points for a 5* wager. |

Louisville vs. Wichita State 2:30 PM ET Play On: Wichita State -2.0 (5*) Firstly, we have the #10 ranked team (Louisville) in the country as an underdog versus an unranked team (Wichita State). That rare occurrence speaks volumes. Secondly, Louisville is coming off a hard fought 5-point overtime win against Old Dominion, and that games didn’t end until after 12:00 AM this morning. Conversely, Wichita State (5-0) played yesterday afternoon, and had a walk in the park 82-47 blowout win over LSU. If the Shockers are looking at cracking the Top 25, then the situation presented to them today is a golden opportunity. Bet on Wichita State for a 5* wager. |

Long Beach State @ Washington 11:00 PM ET Game# 521-522 Play On: Washington -11.5 (5*) Tuesday will be the 5th true road game in 10 days for Long Beach State. That’s almost unheard of for a college basketball Division 1 basketball program to endure that grueling of a stretch of games and travel. The 49ers have gone 0-4 SU&ATS in those previous 4, and lost by a massive average of 33.0 points per game. Granted they’ve faced some extremely tough competition, but they’ve failed to be competitive in any of those contests. During that 4-game period, Long Beach allowed a mammoth 96.7 points per game, and they allowed their opponents to shoot a sizzling 54.4% from the field. That’s not good news for the 49ers considering who Tuesday’s opponent will be. Washington is averaging 95.3 points scored, and is shooting a remarkable 56.5% from the floor during its first 3 games. Bet on Washington minus the points for a 5* wager. |

South Dakota State @ Idaho 10:00 PM ET Play On: Idaho -3.5 (5*) Idaho is coming off an impressive 65-57 win as a 8.5-point underdog at Arkansas-Little Rock. That was against a somewhat experienced Little Rock squad which was a NCAA Tournament team a season ago. South Dakota State has gone 0-3 versus Division 1 opponents this year, and lost by an average of 18.0 points per game. During those 3 contests, they averaged a paltry 59.3 points scored per game, and shot an abysmal 30.6% from the field. That cold shooting doesn’t bode well for any team’s chances, let alone one facing an opponent (Idaho) that has a defensive field goal percentage of 35.3%.

11-21-16 | Oklahoma State -3.5 v. Connecticut | 98-90 | Win | 100 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
Connecticut vs. Oklahoma State 9:00 PM ET Play On: Oklahoma State -3.5 (5*) Connecticut is a far cry from a team that was ranked in the Top 25 to start. They’ve sustained home losses to the likes of Wagner and Northeastern. They finally got into the win column in its previous outing by way of an uninspiring 3-point win at Loyola Marymount while failing to cover as a 5.5-point favorite. The Huskies have been anemic offensively, averaging 61.3 points scored per game, shooting a terrible 38.9%, and converting on a dismal 60.8% of their free throw attempts. Although Oklahoma State has faced vastly inferior opposition on their way to a 3-0 start, they’ve been a dynamic scoring team. The Cowboys are averaging 107.0 points scored per contest, and have shot a scintillating 52.2% from the floor. This is an experienced Oklahoma State team that returned 4 starters from a season ago, and their early chemistry is indicative of such. Bet on Oklahoma State minus the points for a 5* wager. |

St. Joseph’s vs NC State 6:00 PM ET Play On: St. Joseph’s +5.0 (5*) St. Joe’s has played slightly better competition than NC State thus far. NC State is a poor defensive team. As a matter of fact, during the past 2 days of this Paradise Jam Tournament, they allowed 92.0 points per game, and opponents shot a blistering 55.7% against them. They were blown out by Creighton on Sunday by a score of 112-94, and barely squeaked by Georgia Southern with an 80-78 home win as a 14.0-point favorite in their season opener. Bet on St. Joseph’s plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Monmouth @ Syracuse 7:00 PM ET Play On: Syracuse -13.0 (5*) I realize that Monmouth knocked off a handful of power conference teams last season, and they have 4 returning starters. However, this is also a team that’s shot an abysmal 36.3% from the floor in its first 2 games. Conversely, I firmly believe Syracuse is a much better team than even its present #18 national ranking indicates. The Orange are deep, athletic, and have size. Albeit they played inferior opponents in Colgate and Holy Cross in their first 2 contests, but they held those teams to a mere 29.4% shooting, and allowed 50.5 points per contest. That’s not exactly what the doctor ordered for a Marist team that’s thus far struggled mightily with their shooting. Bet on Syracuse minus the points for a 5* wager. |

CS-Fullerton @ Washington 11:00 PM ET Play On: CS-Fullerton +15.5 (5*) Washington was upset 98-90 at home by Yale in their season opener. Somehow they managed to lose that game despite shooting an outstanding 58.9% from the field. Nevertheless, they were outrebounded 42-29, and sent Yale to the free throw line a massive 34 times. Fullerton has outrebounded its first 2 opponents by 13.5 per game. The Titans have also shot a superb 51.2% on their way to a 2-0 start. Fullerton will look to atone for an 18 points loss at Washington a season ago. That may be too tall an order to accomplish but isn’t out of the realm of possibility. Nonetheless, I’m extremely confident they can stay inside this substantial number. Bet on Fullerton plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Seton Hall @ Iowa 9:00 PM ET Play On: Seton Hall +2.0 (5*) Granted Seton Hall lost their star from last season as Isiah Whitehead opted to come out early for the NBA. However, the Pirates still have 4 returning starters from a team that won last season’s Big East Tournament. Iowa has been impressive in their first 2 wins against overmatched opponents. The Hawkeyes have just 1 returning starter from last year’s NCAA Tournament team. There’s a reason why Iowa is such a short favorite at home, and Seton Hall’s experience advantage will pay dividends in this matchup. Bet on Seton Hall for a 5* wager. |

Pittsburgh vs. SMU 7:00 PM ET Play On: SMU -4.0 (5*) Sometimes it’s just best to keep things simple. These teams have already played 1 common opponent. Pittsburgh barely escaped with a 93-90 home win as an 11.5-point favorite against Eastern Michigan. Conversely, SMU was a 91-64 blowout winner over Eastern Michigan, and easily covered as a 12.5-point home favorite. SMU dominated on the boards in that game with a 44-26 rebounding advantage, and Pittsburgh held just a 45-41 edge over that same opponent. Bet on SMU minus the points for a 5* wager. |

The Great Danes shot a sizzling hot 49.2%, converted 50% (7-14) of their 3-point attempts, went 20-25 (80%) from the free throw line, and held a huge 40-22 rebounding advantage over Penn State. This is an Albany program which has gone a combined 72-29 (.713) over the last 3 seasons. Cincinnati has gone a dismal 7-18 ATS (28%) as an underdog with Mick Cronin as their head coach. This will be a much closer game than the Bearcats would like. Play on Albany plus the points for a 5* wager. |

04-02-16 | Syracuse +9.5 v. North Carolina | Top | 66-83 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 5 m | Show |
Syracuse vs. North Carolina 8:49 PM ET Play On: Syracuse +9.5 (10*) North Carolina defeated Syracuse twice already this season, but they hardly dominated them in either game. As a matter of fact, they defeated Syracuse by a narrow 5 point margin at home on 2/29, and the Orange covered easily as a 12.5 point underdog. North Carolina’s 11 point win at Syracuse was much closer than the final score indicates. The Orange were forced to foul on numerous occasions in the final moments of that loss in an attempt to extend the game, and failed to covert on the offensive end. Syracuse has been brilliant on the defensive end of the floor during the NCAA Tournament, allowing only 55.6 points per game, and held their opponents to a paltry 36.4% shooting. They also forced 30 turnovers in their last 2 games versus Gonzaga and Virginia. Despite their convincing East Regional Final win over Notre Dame, North Carolina allowed the “Fighting Irish” to shoot a sizzling hot 55.1%. North Carolina overcompensated for that by being a mammoth +17 on the boards. In their two meetings versus Syracuse this season, the Tar Heels held a small 73-69 rebounding advantage, and were a terrible 9-41 (22.0%) with its three-point shooting. North Carolina is the odds on favorite to win it all and rightfully so. However, this is a large amount of points being given to a conference rival playing with same season double revenge, and brimming with confidence heading into this matchup. Play on Syracuse plus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

Villanova vs. Oklahoma 6:09 PM ET Play On: Oklahoma +2.0 (5*) This is a veteran starting lineup for Oklahoma that entered the season with five returning starters. I place a lot of value on starting experience when it come to this juncture of the season, and especially when it comes to a program like Oklahoma’s that’s developed a winning environment in recent seasons. The Sooners Lon Krueger has now taken five separate schools to the NCAA Tournament in his head coaching career. The Sooners are one of the best three point shooting teams in the country, and are vastly underrated defensive team. The Sooners demolished Villanova this past December on a neutral floor by a score of 78-55. A revenge factor can take you only so far when a team gets dominated like Villanova did in that contest. Oklahoma held a large 41-33 rebounding advantage in that game, and also held Villanova to a paltry 31.7% shooting. Play on Oklahoma for a 5* wager. |

03-31-16 | George Washington v. Valparaiso -2 | Top | 76-60 | Loss | -114 | 4 h 14 m | Show |
George Washington vs. Valparaiso 7:00 PM ET Play On: Valparaiso -2.0 (10*) Don’t be fooled by GW allowing just 46 points in their win over San Diego State on Tuesday. That’s an Aztecs team that relies heavily on their defensive play and rebounding. On most nights the Aztecs had trouble throwing the ball in the ocean from an offensive standpoint. I just can’t ignore the experience factor when it comes to postseason action. This is a Valparaiso team which returned all five starters from a season ago. That character and poise paid huge dividends in their two point semifinal win over BYU on Tuesday. They squandered a 16 point second half lead when BYU pulled ahead with less than five minutes to play, and maintained their composure to get the win. During their four NIT games, Valpo has been stellar on the defensive end of the floor, allowing just 62.4 points per contest, and holding its opponents to 38.3% shooting. Despite Thursday’s opponent having an advantage in terms of overall strength of schedule, Valpo is more than capable of playing with the big boys. They defeated Oregon State on the road, and were narrowly beaten at Oregon. I also can’t ignore the fact that the Crusaders have won 30 games this season against just 6 losses. Play on Valparaiso for a 10* Top Play wager. |

San Diego State vs. Valparaiso 9:30 PM ET Play On: San Diego State -3.0 (5*) San Diego State has shown no affects from the disappointment of being snubbed by the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee. It’s been quite the contrary, they’ve been dominant in this 2016 NIT, going 3-0 SU&ATS, and winning by an average of 18.3 points per game. The Aztecs are a terrific defensive team and also rebound very well. They’ve allowed just 60.5 points per game this season, and held opponents to a paltry 37.1% shooting. They also possess an impressive +6 rebound per game differential during this 2015-2016 college basketball campaign. Valparaiso is also very good defensively and certainly holds its own on the boards. I strongly feel that the Crusaders will be at a decided disadvantage pertaining to overall athleticism in Tuesday’s NIT Semifinal matchup against San Diego State. Play on San Diego State for a 5* wager. |
