Game-day: 2/21/2009
Tip-off: 2:00 pm est.
Another highly ranked team, the Connecticut Huskies, will try to bounce back from a terrible loss at the hands of the Pittsburgh Panthers. The Huskies not only lost the game but they lost Jerome Dyson for the season. Connecticut is still a very good team straight-up at 24 and 2, but their against the spread record in the BetUS online sportsbook leaves something to be desired at 10 and 10.
The #22 ranked Butler Bulldogs are easily the top team in the Horizon League. They’ve gone 22 and 3 straight-up and 14-8-1 against the spread. Their record ATS on the road is 9 and 3. That’s very good.
Wisconsin-Milwaukee used to be the top team in the Horizon League, but they’ve suddenly fallen on hard times this season.
The NBA post All-Star break begins tonight and we are focusing on three games with some good betting opportunities.

The Orlando Magic (38-13, 34-17 ATS) are still learning about life after Jameer Nelson and are looking to return to earlier season form.
The Maryland Terrapins are having a down season while the Clemson Tigers are playing better than they have in about a decade. Clemson has been terrific this season building a straight-up record of 20 and 4. Against the spread they’ve been okay with a 9-9-1 record.

There have been 3 teams that have established themselves as odds on favorite to win the NBA Championship, with a couple just outside the elite 3, and a couple other hopefuls. The Lakers, Cavs, and Celtics, all within a single loss of each other, are going to be in a dog fight for what will be a critical home-court advantage.

The North Carolina Tar Heels travel to Cameron Indoor Stadium to take on the Blue Devils of Duke. North Carolina vs. Duke has become the biggest rivalry in the ACC Conference.
Syracuse takes on Connecticut in a huge Big East showdown on Wednesday night. The Orange has been a bust against the spread so far this season going 9 and 11 overall and 2 and 4 on the road. Syracuse is okay straight-up at 18 and 6 but they have to make sure they don’t go on a losing streak or else they will find themselves out of the Big Dance come March. That’s how tough the Big East is this season.
The Memphis Grizzlies are struggling again this season but they are backed by a powerful betting system tonight at the Philadelphia 76ers.
Memphis is 15-36, having fired coach Marc Iavaroni and bringing in retread Lionel Hollins, but they are on a roll of late.
Last season, the Memphis front office saw they were going nowhere and decided to start over.
