Coach K has his team at a dominant level as they prepare to do battle with the Pac 12 Utah Utes. The Utes have shown no signs of letting up as they’ve knocked off Stephen F. Austin and Georgetown with no problems.

Duke

The last time Duke was the number 1 seed in the South Region was 5 years ago.

[dfads params=’groups=63742&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

If that is any indication at what Duke is destined for, then Friday should be no problem for them. 5 years ago the Blue Devils raised the NCAA Basketball championship. They hope history repeats itself as they prep to battle the Utes from Utah.

Duke had little problem with 16 seed Robert Morris in their first matchup. Robert Morris had cut the lead in the 2nd half to 10, before Duke pulled away late. In their 2nd matchup, the Blue Devils had zero problem with San Diego State. Now, they’ll face a swarming defense that could possibly cause them some fits.

Duke is led by the man in the middle Jahlil Okafor. The center is averaging 18.1 points this season, but has easily surpassed that in both of Duke’s tournament games. Okafor went for 21 against Robert Morris and 26 against the Aztecs.

[dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

Duke has held their the opposition to under 57 points in their last 7 games. That sits well below their season averaged allowed of 64.8 points a game.

Utah

The Utes came in as an under the radar 5 seed in this tournament. Many people prediction that Stephen F. Austin would eliminate the Utes in the 2nd round matchup. Utah caused Austin many fits defensively en route to a 7 point win. In their 2nd game, Utah controlled the game from start to finish as they eliminated Georgetown with an 11 point victory.

Utah, who finished 2nd in the Pac 12, finished the season on an inconsistent streak as they alternated wins and losses over their last 7 games.

Leading the way for Utes is Senior G Delon Wright. The guard has scored a combined 23 points in both tournament games and has grabbed 11 rebounds and dished out 7 assists. Wright has filled the stat sheet, which in turn has led to the success of the Utes.

Another key for Utah has been their exceptional free throw shooting. Four of the five top scorers for Utah are shooting nearly 82 percent from the line a piece.

[dfads params=’groups=64759&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

This has led to Utah being able to close out games down the stretch.

NCAA Basketball Trends:

  • Utes are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games.
  • Utes are 22-6-2 ATS in their last 30 non-conference games.
  • Blue Devils are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 neutral site games.
  • Blue Devils are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 vs. Pacific-12.

Free 4* NCAA Basketball Pick: Duke -5.5

Duke has been quite dominant in their first 2 games this tournament.

Duke 74, Utah 60

Expect nothing different here as Okafor and company handle the Utes with ease on Friday night.

Even though the Bulldogs sit as a higher seed than the Longhorns, they still come in listed as an underdog from Vegas. This is nothing new to Butler as they are used to entering March as an overlooked team. As far as the Longhorns are concerned, the 11th seed in the Midwest region looks to avenge blowing their big lead in the Big 12 tournament and rebound from their loss to Iowa State.

Butler

The #6 seeded Bulldogs come in off an overtime loss to the Xavier Musketeers in the Big East tournament. The Bulldogs fell 67-61 in a game that saw them shoot less than 40 percent from the field.

[dfads params=’groups=63742&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

Butler fell behind with less than 4 minutes to play in the overtime session and was unable to rebound as they watched the Musketeer pull away.

Leading Butler was Senior G Alex Barlow who had 22 points and 4 rebounds in the losing effort. It was the 2nd straight year Butler fell short in their first game of the Big East tournament.

Also contributing for Butler was Junior G Kellen Dunham. The 6-6 Junior dropped in 17 points and grabbed 2 rebounds in the loss. Dunham was averaging 16.7 points a game to go along with 2.6 rebounds.

[dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

If Butler hopes to hold off the Longhorns, Barlow and Dunham will need to contribute similar performances.

Butler went 2-3 S.U. and 2-3 ATS in 5 neutral sight meetings this season.

Texas

The Longhorns look to avenge their buzzer beating defeat to the hands of the Iowa State Cyclones when they take the floor on Thursday afternoon. The Longhorns led by as many as 16 in the first half, only to see the Cyclones comeback and hit a shot at the buzzer to eliminate the Longhorns from Big 12 tournament play.

Texas brings in a 20-13 record, but just an 8-10 conference record. Texas finished conference play winning 3 straight in the regular season, but was unable to advance further than the quarter-finals in tournament play.

The Longhorns are led by Sophomore G Isaiah Taylor, who is scoring 13.0 points a game. The guard is also averaging 3.3 rebounds a game to go along with 4.6 assists a game.

Also leading the Longhorns is Freshman F Myles Turner. The 6-11 forward averaged 10.4 points a game and grabbed 6.4 rebounds a game.

[dfads params=’groups=64759&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

In neutral sight games this season, Texas is 3-1 S.U.

NCAA Basketball Trends:

  • Longhorns are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 Thursday games.
  • Longhorns are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a S.U. loss.
  • Bulldogs are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a S.U. loss.
  • Bulldogs are 42-17-1 ATS in their last 60 neutral site games.

Free 4* NCAA Basketball Pick: Butler +1.5

The Bulldogs come in listed as a lower seed, but a straight up underdog Thursday afternoon. While Texas played a more difficult schedule, Butler is a much more fundamentally sound team.

Butler 66, Texas 62

The 6 seed handles business Thursday afternoon en route to a small margin win.

The #13 ranked Cyclones visit Manhattan hoping to rebound from their home loss to the Baylor Bears. The slip up against Baylor leaves Iowa State a full game back of Kansas for the top spot in the Big 12.

Iowa State

The Cyclones had a chance to better their tournament resume and add a signature win when they welcomed in the #19 Baylor Bears Wednesday night.

[dfads params=’groups=63742&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

That plan however went south quickly as Baylor came in and dominated the Cyclones en route to a 9 point road victory. Now, with just 3 games left in the regular season, Iowa State cannot afford a slip up. They’re first task will be invading the arena at the center of the NCAA’s attention following a court storming.

Iowa State had a chance to jump into a first place tie with Kansas for 1st place in the Big 12. They’ll now need to win out and get some help if they hope to claim the overall number 1 seed for the Big 12 tournament. Regardless, winning out will give Iowa State a 23 win season with tournament play still to come.

The Cyclones are led by Junior F Georges Niang. Niang is scoring 14.6 points a game to go along with 5.4 rebounds a game. Niang scored 14 points and grabbed 6 rebounds in the loss against Baylor.

Georges Niang had the same stats in the Jan. 20th meeting with Kansas State when he put up 14 points and 6 rebounds. The Cyclones went on to win the game 77-71.

[dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

Iowa State brings in a 4-4 road record thus far.

Kansas State

The Wildcats are the center of attention following their upset home win against Kansas. However, it isn’t because they knocked off a top 10 opponent. Following a court rush, students bumped into numerous Kansas players and caused much more drama to overshadow the team’s big win.

With all that aside, the Wildcats sub .500 record will not be enough to get them into the NCAA tournament. With just 2 games remaining in the regular season, a win against Iowa State is an absolute must if Kansas State wants to impress the committee. A deep run into the Big 12 tournament is also a must.

The Wildcats are led by Sophomore G Marcus Foster. Foster is scoring 13.1 points a game so far in the 2014-2015 season. He’ll hope to have a similar game to the one the last time these two teams met as he went for 16 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists.

[dfads params=’groups=64759&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

Kansas State has made it tough on road opponents this season. The Wildcats bring in an 11-4 S.U. home record. They’re averaging 65.1 points a game and allowing just 58.5.

NCAA Basketball Trends:

  • Cyclones are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Saturday games.
  • Cyclones are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a ATS loss.
  • Wildcats are 20-6-1 ATS in their last 27 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
  • Wildcats are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a S.U. win.

Free 4* NCAA Basketball Pick: Iowa State -3.5

It’s obvious that Kansas State is in a must win situation. That being said, they’re simply not an NCAA tournament caliber team.

Iowa State 73, Kansas State 64

Iowa State bounces back with a road win Saturday afternoon.
