Fighting Irish vs Hoyas NCAAB Handicapping Prediction
Even though both teams lost in some upsets last week each has a chance to get a double-bye in the Big East tournament. The Irish have won 3 straight against the Hoyas, but they are underdogs in this game and overall this season they are 5-4 facing ranked teams.
Jayhawks vs Cowboys NCAAB Handicapping Prediction
If Kansas (24-5) can win this away game facing Oklahoma State (14-15) they will win the Big 12 title and inch closer to a #1 seed in the Big Dance.
NBA Betting – All-Star Game Preview & Pick
Orlando will be the host for this year’s NBA All-Star Game. Dwight Howard has been rumored in many trades, but the Magic have kept him around long enough to have him be the main attraction at this game.
Commodores vs Wildcats NCAAB Handicapping Prediction
Kentucky (27-1) is heading for a #1 seed in the Big Dance, but snagging a top seed will not be easy, as they host a hot Vanderbilt (20-8) team that has won 3 straight as well as facing 11th ranked Florida on the road in their season finale.

The No. 3 Missouri Tigers had a chance to claim sole possession of first place in the Big 12 conference with a win over Kansas State on Wednesday, but they came up short.

Texas A&M was picked to finish at the top of the Big 12 this year, but the Aggies have suffered through a disappointing season.
Bet On College Basketball: North Carolina vs Virginia
Virginia is 13-1 at home this year. Tony Bennett’s team has been one of the biggest surprises in the nation.
#2 Orange (28-1) vs Huskies (17-10)
The Syracuse Orange are looking primed for a #1 seed in the tournament. They still have just the one loss at Notre Dame which is looking better and better everyday as the Irish climb the rankings.
#18 Fighting Irish (20-8) vs Red Storm (12-16)
They are not a mid-major but Notre Dame may be the most surprising team in the top 25 right now.
Wildcats vs Hoyas NCAAB Handicapping Prediction
Georgetown (20-6) is currently the 8th ranked team in the nation, but since they are coming off a loss to Seton Hall it is unlikely that they will get a #1 seed in the Big Dance.

NBA Power Rankings (FEB. 23rd)
Bet On NBA Basketball
Each week during the heart of the NBA season, and once or twice during the NBA Preseason, we’ll gather the troops around the roundtable and hash out the NBA Power rankings.
Oklahoma City (26-7) – Is it too much to say that Durant and Westbrook are the best duo in the NBA? They haven’t earned their championship stripes but what else are they lacking?
Miami Heat (26-7) – A Heat vs Thunder finals would make for some great watching for sure. Heat are looking great right now, perhaps a bit ahead of their closest conference challengers in Chicago.
Chicago Bulls (27-8) – The most complete team on the list so far but they are totally different when Derrick Rose is out of the lineup. I like their commitment to defense though to smooth things over.
San Antonio Spurs (23-10) – You can’t ignore that record and the fact that Tony Parkers has been lights out lately. It is just too bad that Manu Ginobili is out once again. This time for much shorter.
Dallas Mavericks (21-13) – I know they are the defending champs but when you watch them play it is hard to see it. Delonte West is now out for a while so we will see if they can keep up their recent strong play shorthanded.
Orlando Magic (22-12) – They are playing much better but what will happen as we get closer and closer to the trade deadline. The All-Star game is in Orlando this year and hopefully the parade of stars can take the focus on Dwight Howard for a moment.
Los Angeles Clippers (20-11) – It is still hard to consider these guys a contender but they are bringing it most nights. Losing Chauncey Billups was huge for them, they are just .500 in the games since. This team could slide down the ranking at any moment.
Los Angeles Lakers (20-13) – Perhaps the most dangerous thing in the league is a Kobe Bryant scorned. He isn’t happy with the rumours surrounding Pau and has sounded off. At least he can back things up with his play.
New York Knicks (17-17) – Witness the power of Linsanity, elevating a team with a .500 record into the top 10 of the power rating. Some are even talking MVP which would make him the least likely winner, ever. Still he has to be considered. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
Memphis Grizzlies (19-15) – The Grizz are on a nice run that makes you think about last year’s playoffs. The offense has been really sharp lately and young legs appear to be tiring less often.
Indiana Pacers (21-12)
Philadelphia 76ers (20-13)
Denver Nuggets (18-16)
Boston Celtics (15-16)
Portland Trailblazers (18-16)
Atlanta Hawks (19-13)
Houston Rockets (20-14)
Minnesota Timberwolves (17-17)
Utah Jazz (15-17)
Golden State Warriors (13-17)
Phoenix Suns (14-20)
New Jersey Nets (10-24)
Milwaukee Bucks (13-19)
Sacramento Kings (11-22)
Toronto Raptors (10-23)
Cleveland Cavaliers (13-18)
Detroit Pistons (11-24)
New Orleans Hornet (8-25)
Washington Wizards (7-26)
Charlotte Bobcats (4-28)
