The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have a must win game Monday night when they host the Villanova Wildcats.
The Irish have played some good basketball of late, winning four of five heading into the weekend although bettors aren’t thrilled with their 2-3 ATS record.
Notre Dame still has a slim chance to make the NCAA tournament if they win at home against St. John’s on March 6th and take care of Nova on Monday night.
The loss of point guard Dominic James is a huge blow to Marquette as they play at the Louisville Cardinals on Sunday.
James’ season and college career is over after he suffered a broken foot in a home game against Connecticut on Wednesday night. The Golden Eagles (23-5, 12-3 Big East) lost 93-82, which was their only home loss of the year.
The Virginia Tech Hokies have been costing their backers lots of cash at home and now the Duke Blue Devils are coming to town.
The Hokies are just 2-7 against the spread at home and they haven’t covered there since they beat Boston College, 79-71 on January 17th as 3 ½-point favorites.
Things aren’t going to get much easier on Saturday afternoon at 3:30 pm ET. That’s when the #7 Duke Blue Devils show up in a game nationally televised on ABC.
The Louisville Cardinals have been a great conference bet the last two years. Can they keep it up tonight at the Georgetown Hoyas as two-point chalk?
ESPN will have the contest at 7 pm ET, followed by Kansas at Oklahoma.
Coach Pitino’s teams are 38-10 the last three years in the Big East regular season and are an astonishing 36-11-1 ATS. That is +23.9 units of profit playing some of the fiercest competition any team can face.
