03-29-18 | Penn State v. Utah +4 | 82-66 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 10 m | Show | |
NIT Championship Game - Madison Square Garden - New York, NY Utah is an experienced group that starts four seniors and a junior and must be respected here in what the linesmakers expect will be a close game. Both Penn State and Utah play shut down D, but with a key offensive cog Mike Watkins ( 3rd leading scorer) out for the Lions, the Utes D, can be even more focused. However, with that said, I'm betting the difference maker comes via the charity stripe where Utah is the superior side. QUOTE: . “I don’t think there’s a team that shoots more free throws in practice,” END QUOTE: coach Larry Krystkowiak said. Play on Utah to cover |

NIT - Semifinals - Madison Square Garden - New York, NY The fourth seeded Hill toppers took out 3 POWER 5 teams to get here ( Oklahoma City, USC and Boston College) including the last two on the road and must be respected here vs a Utah side that my power ranking suggests they matchup well against. WKU has 12 wins this season against programs with at least 20 victories: Old Dominion (3 times), UAB (2), Marshall (2), Purdue (1), Wright State (1), Nicholls (1), USC (1) and Oklahoma State (1).

03-26-18 | North Texas +4.5 v. San Francisco | 62-72 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 4 m | Show | |
North Texas enters this game on fire scoring 90 plus points in three straight wins, and are a side that must be respected after playing top tier teams like Western Kentucky and Middle Tennessee State and looking very competetive against them. Meanwhile, San Francisco has played three hard fought closely contsted affairs to get to this best of three CBI finals series, and are in alot of ways lucky to be here. Their one signature win came this season against St.Mary's a team that was over rated in the rankings and missed the NCAA tournament. Here in todays matchup, I'm betting that San Francisco does not have enough offensive weapons to easily come out of this with a win, and getting points with an explosive Men Green side is viavble investment opportunity. Note: SF HC Smith is 0-8 ATS in home games after playing 2 consecutive home games, andSmith is 1-9 ATS after 3 or more consecutive wins as the coach of SAN FRANCISCO. McCasland is 11-3 ATS in his career as a road underdog or pick as the coach of N TEXAS |

03-25-18 | Duke v. Kansas +3 | 81-85 | Win | 100 | 23 h 11 m | Show | |
NCAA - Midwest Regional Final - Centurylink Center - Omaha, NE We have Two Hall of Fame coaches, two blue blood programs, and loads of talent ready to go head in Sunday’s showdown at the CenturyLink Center. What I'm betting here today is that Coach Ks zone defense is going to get run over, by a Bill Self coached team that knows how to deal with it well. According to my player vs players and system vs system power rankings Duke does not match up well here and I won't be surprised if Kansas pulls of the upset. But just to be safe lets take the points. KANSAS is 15-4 ATS in road games versus good defensive teams - shooting pct defense of 42% or better dating back to last season. KANSAS is 9-2 ATS when the line is +3 to -3 over the last 2 seasons. Jayhawks are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.Blue Devils are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Play on Kansas |

03-25-18 | Texas Tech v. Villanova -6.5 | 59-71 | Win | 100 | 20 h 2 m | Show | |
NCAA - East Regional Final - TD Garden - Boston, MA Villanova was my pick to win the enchilada this season, so I'm not about to jump off the bandwagon now. Yes, they are playing a good basketball team in Texas Tech, but according to my power rankings and systems adjustments the Wildcats are the far superior team, and so diverse in their abilities are extremely hard to play against, that laying 7 or less points does not phase me. In other words whatever the Raiders throw at the Cats, they will easily be able to counter and take over any situation and turn it in their favor behind a boatload full of talent. I know Raiders guards Culver and James, look unstoppable, but they have yet to face this type of opponent this season and could easily get run over . Villanova has been v explosive on offense and are currently ranked 1st in the nation in scoring, with 87.0 ppg, ranking 5th in shooting (50.3%), 10th in 3-point shooting (40.5%), and have 47 treys in this tournament so far , which is not a good omen for a Texas Tech side, that has looked below average guarding the downtown three, as was the case in their win vs Purdue last time out, allowing s 38.9% conversion rate from long range. VILLANOVA is 11-4 ATS versus very good teams - outscoring their opponents by 8+ points/game this season. VILLANOVA is 9-1 ATS versus good rebounding teams - outrebounding opponents by 4+ per game this season.VILLANOVA is 8-2 ATS L/10 versus good defensive teams - shooting pct defense of 42% or less this season. VILLANOVA is 13-3 ATS in non-conference games this season.VILLANOVA is 8-1 ATS after 2 straight games making 78% of their free throws or better this season CBB Neutral court teams as a favorite or pick (VILLANOVA) - an explosive offensive team (76 or more PPG) against a good offensive team (74-76 PPG), after scoring 75 points or more 2 straight games are 103-52 ATS L/5 seasons for a 67% conversion rate for bettors on the blind.

03-24-18 | Florida State +5 v. Michigan | 54-58 | Win | 100 | 11 h 40 m | Show | |
Michigan looked like the greatest College basketball team in the world last time out in their win vs Texas A&M. I think anyone who watched was in awe. It was an amazing site to behold, as everything the Wolverines touched turned to gold. Now I'm expecting a reversion to the norm and a pretty big drop off after that amazing performance vs a solid Florida State D. It's just the law of physics at play, as you cannot put out that much positive energy without creating a situation without negative energy creating a reversal of flow which I'm betting will be the case here in this tilt for Michigan . Today against a tall athletic Florida State side, being as fluid for Michigan is going to be a challenge. Watching the Seminoles superior athletes outduel a pretty good Gonzaga group has me confidently betting on them to make a game of this here today. This has been a crazy NCAA tournament, with a lot of upsets and no team is safe, or even close to a sure bet, so I'm not swayed by the Wolverines current form as day could to turn to night quicker than many might anticipate. FLORIDA ST is 10-2 ATS in non-conference games this season.FLORIDA ST is 20-5 ATS as a neutral court underdog of 6 points or less or pick. Play on Florida State to cover |

03-24-18 | Loyola-Chicago v. Kansas State -1 | 78-62 | Loss | -115 | 21 h 13 m | Show | |
Loyola Chicago has played some great basketball in this tournament and have also had a horse shoe solidly wedged into their lower extremities, winning their 3 games by a combined 4 points. They live in and die on fast ball movement and layups,, and today against a physical KState defense I'm betting their going to get battered, and mugged on a consistent basis and that horseshoe I mentioned is going to be pried loose and their luck will run out. Note: Kansas State runs the floor with a lot 6'4 or less athletes but their a tenacious group allowing 4 of their L/5 opponents to 64 points or less. They deserve respect here against a quality program from Chicago, that is as lucky as they are good. The Wildcats advance. CBB favorite (KANSAS ST) - an average offensive team (67-74 PPG) against an excellent defensive team (63 PPG or less) after 15+ games, after a win by 6 points or less are 65-24 ATS L/5 seasons for a 73% conversion rate for bettors.

NCAA - East Regional Semifinals - TD Garden - Boston, MA Villanova really gets up for top quality competition, as was evident by posting a 12-1 SU and 11-2 ATS mark vs .680- or better opposition this season. It must also be noted that West Virginia's HC Huggins is 0-21-1 ATS in this tournament if he loses straight up. While you can never rule out a SU upset , especially this season, the odds are very high the Wildcats win here SU, thus making Huggy Bear and his cubs fade material in this spot. VILLANOVA is 12-3 ATS L/15 versus teams who make 8 or more 3 point shots/game on the season this season Sweet 16 No.1 seeds off back to back wins in the NCAA tourney are a bankroll expanding 21-8 ATS.

It must be noted that CLEMSON is 0-6 ATS after leading their last 2 games by 10+ points at the half over the last few seasons. From a coaching perspective Bill Self of Kansas has a huge experience edge, winning 9 of 12 Sweet 16 games, covering 8 times.

NCAA - West Regional Semifinals - Staples Center - Los Angeles, CA Florida State was down 12 points mid way through the 2nd half of their 2nd round game vs a very good Xavier side last time out and came back to win 75-70. I tip my proverbial hat to the Seminoles, for that big time effort, but now I'm betting their celebrating comes to an abrupt end vs Gonzaga side that has won 34 of 35 games vs sub .890 foes this season. It must also be noted that Seminoles HC Hamilton is 0-4 ATS in the NCAA tourney off two straight wins and 0-3 SU/ATS off a underdog victory.

Anas Mahmoud is ninth in the nation in blocked shots (3.0) and Ray Spalding is 38th in offensive rebounds (3.09) and I'm betting these top tier abilities give them an edge here.

NCAA Tournament - First Round - Spectrum Center - Charlotte, NC
Providence is not an amazing team that stands put, but they are very deep , and that was evident when they took Villanova to OT in the conference final. This team is physical and can draw fouls, which is a positive for a team that is extremely proficient from the FT line. This team must be respected here as dogs vs a good but over rated Texas A&M Aggies side that lost 4 of their L/7 games overall including a collapse in the conference tournament to Alabama. Texas A&M is frustrating to watch at the charity stripe and their downtown shooting is extremely inconsistent.

NCAA Tournament - First Four - Univ. of Dayton Arena - Dayton, OH Arizona State was the darlings of the College basketball world earlier this season, but they cooled off considerably during conference play and finished their season losing 5 of their L/6 games, and are playing very inconsistent ball at the moment. Meanwhile, Syracuse despite of an average campaign are a hard working defensive minded program, with pedigree and experience in this NCAA tournament, and must be respected with HC Boheim on the sideleines . With that said, my own power rankings also suggest Syracuse is the side that should be favored and not Arizona State making gets points here in my humble opinion a viable wagering opportunity. Note: The Orange had a non-conference schedule ranked No. 14. Its overall schedule was ranked 18. SU played Virginia, the No. 1 team in the RPI, twice. It played North Carolina (RPI 4) twice, it played Kansas (5), Duke (7) and Clemson (11). ........Kansas (5), St. Bonaventure (24) and Buffalo (25) were all non-conference opponents.

To beat UCLA you have to play fast and need quality guard play , something the Bonnies have. St.Bonaventure are lead by All-Conference backcourt seniors Jaylen Adams and Matt Mobley, who combine to average 38 points per game and I'm betting they will be the catalysts behind a Bonnies cover vs the Bruins this evening.

The Colonials have won their opening game four straight years in the conference tourney. After starting their season very slowly the Colonials averaging just 61.3 points per game in their first eight conference tilts , they than began to get things going and are now performing in top tier fashion offensively as GW is now averaging 74.5 ppg in its last 10 outings and should once again be dominating vs a Fordham side on a 6 game losing streak, and struggling with their offense scoring 60 points or less points in 5 of those 6 trips to the hardwood.

It must also be noted that the Cardinals took down the No.23 Noles 73-69 earlier this season breaking a 28-game Seminoles home winning streak as UofL fought back from a 17-point deficit to notch the victory. If they could win there, the Cardinal can beat this team here in a much friendlier environment. Louisville has made 41.8 percent of their threes over the last nine games (84-of-201) and is third in the ACC in three-point percentage for conference games only (.382).

Northeast Conference Tournament - Championship Game The No. 1 seeded Wagner men's basketball team takes on No. 4 seed, LIU Brooklyn, in Tuesday's championship game. If Wagner wins, the Seahawks will earn the NEC's automatic bid but I'm betting if they get that big prize tonight, it won't come easily. Tuesday's championship tilt is the rubber match between the Seahawks and Blackbirds as the teams split their two meetings this season, each retaining victories on their respective home courts.In the two previous games between Wagner and LIU the difference of scoring margin was a combined six points as on January 13, LIU earned a last-second 69-67 victory in Brooklyn while the Seahawks grinded out a 78-74 home win on February 17. A rinse and repeat situation looks to be on tonights agenda. With that said, I'm recommending we take the points. LONG ISLAND is 10-1 ATS L/11 revenging a same season loss vs opponent and is a perfect 7-0 ATS L/7 revenging a road loss vs opponent. LIU HC Kellogg is 15-3 ATS L/18 in his career as a road underdog of 6.5 to 9 points . CBB Road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points (LONG ISLAND) - revenging a same season loss vs opponent, after a home game where both teams scored 75 points or more are 79-43 ATS L/5 seasons for a 64% conversion rate for bettors.

West Coast Conference Tournament - Semifinals - Las Vegas, NV
From a power rankings perspective the Gaels according to my numbers should be a 7.5 point fav here, which makes laying around 5 points a value line wager. SMC has won the last five meetings versus BYU. The Gaels defeated the Cougars last year in the semifinals, 81-50 and I won't be surprised by another DD margin of victory again. BYU HC BYU is 2-11 ATS L/13 revenging 2 straight losses vs opponent of 10 points or more.BYU is 6-17 ATS L/23 vs. excellent free throw shooting teams - making 77% or better of their shots.

03-04-18 | Cincinnati +3 v. Wichita State | 62-61 | Win | 100 | 4 h 9 m | Show | |
The 10th ranked Cincinnati Bearcats go head to head with the 11th ranked Wichita State Shockers this Sunday in a battle that I'm betting favors the road side getting points. I know that Wichita took out Cincinnati 76-62 earlier this season, on the road , but I have a great deal of confidence in the Bearcats refocusing and clawing back with some revenge here as visitors, vs a program that has lost 6 of their L/7 home finales vs a .666 or better opposition. Yes, the Shockers are a big nasty group of big young men, but the Bearcats are not easily intimidated behind the nations No.2 FG % and No.7 Rebound margin. Note: Bearcats are a perfect 7-0 SU with revenge on the road vs .850 or better opposition when their hoops program owns a .800 or better record. WICHITA ST is 5-12 ATS after scoring 75 points or more 2 straight games this season. CBB teams where the line is +3 to -3 (CINCINNATI) - revenging a home loss vs opponent, off a blowout win by 20 points or more over a conference rival are 47-18 ATS L/5 seasons for a 72% conversion rate for bettors.

Nevada is off wrapping Mountain west Conference with a blowout beat down of UNLV last time out, and will now be in a letdown spot and focused on staying healthy for the post season. Tonight against a SD State Aztecs side that plays their best hoops at home ( 12-2 SU) I expect to see a mild upset on a short chalk line, especially considering the Aztecs have revenge on board for a ugly 94-56 smack down the last time these teams played. Note: HC Fisher is 8-2 ATS in his career when seeking same season revenge of a loss of 20 points or more.SAN DIEGO ST is also a perfect 6-0 ATS L/6 in home games revenging a road loss vs opponent . SAN DIEGO ST is 6-0 ATS L/6 as a home favorite of 6 points or less or pick.

03-03-18 | Arkansas-Little Rock +21 v. UL-Lafayette | 72-61 | Win | 100 | 11 h 17 m | Show | |
These two sides have bi polar records , with UL Lafayette with a 24-6 mark and 14-0 SU at home and Arkansas Little Rock with a 6-24 W/L overall record. I know the Trojans may not inspire bettors but despite of their lack of success SU have been very competitive of late, with their L/4 games being decided by 4,5,2 and 4 points. This team also has a lot of road games under their belts this season, and won't be easily intimidated here. Note: Little Rock's 16 road opponents have a combined record of 274-204 (.573) as 11 of the 16 currently own winning records. Arkansas Little Rock plays a hardcore style of physical D, and go hard in the paint, which makes them difficult to play against if your a free flowing side like Cajuns. The Trojans have outscored their opponents 863-726 in points in the paint through 30 games this season, averaging 28.8 points in the key per game and accounting for 45.4% of their offensive production, and I'm betting this will be the catalyst to them getting the cover today vs a superior foe that I'm sure is over looking them. ARK-LITTLE ROCK is 18-7 ATS L/25 in road games versus good offensive teams - scoring 77+ points/game after 15+ games. ARK-LITTLE ROCK is 11-2 ATS after allowing 55 points or less over the last few seasons. CBB Underdogs of 20 or more points (ARK-LITTLE ROCK) - off 3 straight losses against conference rivals, playing their 2nd game in 3 days are 51-21 ATS L/21 seasons for a 71% conversion rate for bettors on the blind.

Florida State is off two straight road losses, but have played their best basketball at home this season, winning 12 of 14 games outscoring opposition sies by 14.4 ppg . The Noles desperately need to get back into the win column here this afternoon vs Boston College in their home finale. With this game also being a revenger for the Seminoles , I'm expecting we see them very motivated and in top form here. ( BC beat FSU 81-75 earlier this season) Florida States HC is 16-2 ATS in home finales when seeking revenge. FSU is also 6-1 ATS L/7 home finales and have covered 4 of the L/5 meetings here.

Eastern Michigan is a hoops program I have been keeping a close on eye on as this season has progressed, as this team looks to have a lot of chemistry and talent, which has translated into them up trending in my power rankings behind five straight wins , and 7 victories in their L/8 trips to the hardwood . The Eagles clinched a first round bye in the Mid-American Conference Tournament with its 16-point road win at Western Michigan last time out and must be respected in their current form.The Eagles have put up 78.2 points per contest on 52.1 field goal percentage in their L/4 games and come in here ready to send a message to Toledo before the conference Tourney starts. In Eastern's L/8 games their already staunch defense has gotten even better as the Eagles are allowing just 61.5 points per game and holding opponents to a 38.6 shooting percentage from the floor during that stretch, while forcing110 turnovers, had 43 steals, and smacked down 23 shots , which makes them very dangerous pups in their current incarnation. |

Note: Bradley G Darrel Brown is expected to play today, but according to court side news from multiple sources is far from being 100%. BRADLEY is 0-6 ATS L/6 in road games revenging a loss where opponent scored 75 or more points which happened in a 78-68 road loss at Drake in their last meeting on Feb 3 of this season.

The Ramblers go against a N.Iowa side that they have prevailed against in five of the last six matchups between the programs.This year, Loyola swept the season series, marking the second time in the last three years it has taken both contests from UNI and once again look like a team that we want to back here.

Memphis enters this game on a 4 game win streak, but took part in some grueling affairs vs quality opponents in those tilts, ie ( SMU, Tulane , Houston UConn) and despite of having momentum on their sides, they could easily find themselves in an emotional letdown spot vs a lowly USF hoops program I'm sure their over looking. With that said, I'm recommending we close our eyes, plug our noses and pull the proverbial trigger with extreme prejudice vs a Tigers side that will be playing without star point guard Jeremiah Martin, who was ruled out for the season with a broken foot. Martin's 18.9 points per game are currently tops in the conference. Tigers are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.Tigers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.

03-01-18 | Virginia v. Louisville +4 | 67-66 | Win | 100 | 11 h 27 m | Show | |
This is Louisville's last home game of the season, on senior night, and will be primed and motivated for a win as they go against the No.1 ranked team in the country and the ACC the Virginia Cavaliers. Louisville has won 15 of its last 16 Senior Day games, including last year's 71-64 victory over No. 19 Notre Dame It must also be noted that Louisville has a 42-11 SU record in its conference home games over the last six years (.792) and must not be underestimated as dogs vs a top tier side. The Cardinal also looked good last time out on the road, beating a pretty good Virginia Tech hoops program by a 75-68 count, and has been cruising in to high gear offensively of late , as they have converted on 43.5 percent of their threes over the last eight games (73-of-168) and leads the ACC in three-point percentage for conference games only (.387). UofL is also 14-2 when it makes eight or more three-pointers in a game. Add to that the D, is also playing consistently as is evident by holding eight of its 16 ACC opponents to 40 percent or below shooting from the field and you have a pup here that I feel good about backing. UofL fell 74-64 at Virginia last month, but in that game the Cards despite of the DD loss were viable opponents vs the Cavs as Louisville shot 50 percent from the field , the only team that has achieved that this season against Virginia. With that said, My own projections estimate that Louisville will be able to put 61 + points on the scoreboard here tonight which is key, as VIRGINIA is just 6-15 ATS when they allow 61 to 66 points in a game over the last few seasons ( Virginia 63.9 Opposition 63.4) Play on Louisville to cover |

Georgia prepares to play its last regular-season home game on Wednesday night when the Bulldogs host Texas A&M on "Senior Night" at Stegeman Coliseum. The Bulldogs continue to build momentum and bolster their postseason résumé. Georgia has won three of its last four games, including victories over projected NCAA Tournament participants Florida and No. 18 Tennessee. Georgia also looked to be in top form via a 93-82 win over LSU last Saturday. . .Georgia was No. 70 in Monday's NCAA RPI but has secured more quality victories than most of the teams ahead of the Bulldogs.UGA has 8 combined "Q1" & "Q2" wins, more than 37 teams ahead of UGA in the RPI. Meanwhile, Texas A&M is off a revenge game vs Vanderbilt last time out winning 89-81 and could easily be in a letdown spot here vs an up trending side. Previous to the Aggies win they had lost 3 straight, and still don't look to be operating with the same proficiency they did earlier this season. Note: Texas A&M has only won 2 of 10 road games this season and are fade material here according to my own projections. TEXAS A&M is 1-7 ATS when the line is +3 to -3 this season. TEXAS A&M is 0-7 ATS L/7 versus teams who are called for 17 or less fouls/game.TEXAS A&M is 2-11 ATS L/13 after scoring 85 points or more.

Ole Miss had had a overall disappointing season, but must not be underestimated here vs their hosts Kentucky, as they have notched six wins versus RPI top 100 teams, including three against the top 50 this season. Tonight against a good but still over rated Wildcats hoops program, they look like solid investment options getting points. Keys to a Ole Miss cover here a DD dogs will come I'm betting via these key attributes: Ole Miss has taken care of the basketball this season. The Rebels have coughed up the rock only 331 times, ranking 39th nationally in fewest turnovers allowed. Averaging only 11.4 turnovers per tilt, Ole Miss ranks 42nd in the nation and owns a solid 1.3 assist/turnover ratio which ranks fourth in the SEC and 60th in the country.The Rebels also lead the SEC in rebounding in conference games, pulling down 38.2 boards per game. - Ole Miss also paces the conference with 13.1 offensive rebounds per SEC contest. Wildcats are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points.( the Wildcats clobbered Missouri last time out 87-66) KENTUCKY is 9-18 ATS L/27 versus good ball handling teams - committing 14 or less turnovers/game after 15+ games dating back to last season.OLE MISS is 20-7 ATS as an underdog of 10 or more points and 17-5 ATS L/22 as a road underdog of 10 or more points.

North Carolina may not have their full attention focused on this tilt with the Canes here this evening, as their season finale vs Duke is up next, with the No.2 seed on the line. Meanwhile, Miami after losing key Guard Bruce Brown took some time to get rolling again, but I've kept an eye on them, and they are looking like a viable up trending side that cannot be ignored as DD underdogs in this spot.Walker and Lykes have stepped up as Miami's leading scorers. Walker has averaged 13.3 points per game in the last eight contests, while Lykes has totaled 13.1 points per game over that period It must also be noted that Miami Fl has revenge on board for a ACC tourney loss to North Carolina from last season, and will be ramped up for payback vs a side that has covered just 3 of their L/19 vs an avenging foe with a 60% or better record before facing the Blue Devils. Since HC Jim Larrañaga took over at UM, the Canes are 5-5 SU against UNC, including a pair of upset wins in Chapel Hill. The teams split a pair of games last year, with Miami prevailing, 77-62, in Coral Gables, and UNC winning 78-53 in the quarterfinals of the ACC tournament.

Buffalo has had a good season, from a SU perspective but the lines-makers are continually over estimating them, as is evident by them having failed to cover 8 of their L/9 games overall. With Akron entering this game with revenge for a ugly 87-65 set back at home back on Jan 9 of this season, I expect they come out on a mission and are subsequently a lot more competitive this time around , and make it 3 straight covers here as visitors. Note: Buffalo scored 108 points against Ohio on Saturday afternoon, its most ever in a MAC game and despite of this being Seniors night and an opportunity to capture the No.1 seed in the conference tourney, the Bulls should experience a natural let down and a reversal to their mean average output . Akron last time out 64-62 to Miami O, but Since the start of the 2004-05 season, the Zips have been one of best teams in the nation when it comes to rebounding after a loss. Excluding season-ending losses, Akron is 99-42 (.702) following a loss.The Zips have posted a 48-27 mark (.640) in the last 75 games against the MAC East dating back to the start of the 2012 league schedule. BUFFALO is 1-7 ATS L/8 versus poor pressure defensive teams - forcing 14 or less turnovers/game. BUFFALO is 2-14 ATS L/16 after having won 15 or more of their last 20 games.

The Nebraska men's basketball team looks for its 22nd win of the season on Sunday afternoon, as the Huskers host Penn State on Senior Day.The Huskers enter the final weekend of the regular season winning nine of their last 11 games and seven of its last eight .The Huskers are currently in a strong position to earn one of the four double-byes for the Big Ten Tournament next week at Madison Square Garden so you can imagine the energy that they will bring to the court tonight in a packed house supporting them. I know Penn State will also be hyped up as they fight for its postseason life, as the Nittany Lions look to bounce back from a 73-64 loss to Michigan, but this type of environment is not a good opportunity for them to get things rolling in the right direction. Add to that its payback time , as Penn State took a 76-74 OT win over the Huskers on Jan. 12 which will give the Huskers added inspiration. Penn State is 0-7 ATS L/7 as road dogs vs opposition with a .800 record or less opposition. Nebraska is 17-2 ATS L/19 overall.

Tonight I'm betting the catalyst to a Nebraska victory will come behind a defense that has buoyed them this season . The Huskers are third in field goal defense (.412) in conference play and have held 12 of their last 15 opponents under 45 percent shooting. Nebraska also leads the Big Ten in 3-point defense in conference play, holding opponents to 30 percent shooting from the land of the trey. Note: Nebraska is 15-1 SU at Pinnacle Bank Arena this season with the only loss coming in a one-point loss against a strong Kansas program back on Dec. 16. Overall it must be noted that this team forte also lies with the fact that they have a never say doe attitude as is evident by looking at Nebraska's six losses dating back to Dec. 9, NU lost twice in the last 30 seconds (vs. Kansas, at PSU) and three others where NU was within a point in the last four minutes (at Creighton, at No. 13 OSU, at Illinois).

CSU has had a down season thanks in part to having to reignite their lineup after losing two of last year's five starters, including Mountain West Player of the Year Gian Clavel and First Team All-MW forward Emmanuel Ombogo. Meanwhile, Nevada looks like a big dance candidate, and are being made big chalk here in a contest that will see two sides playing at the proverbial opposite end of the performance spectrum. With that said, and despite of the W/L discrepancies the Rams behind interim HC Jase Herl are still capable of covering this slightly bloated number as road dogs according to matchup system vs system analysis .

Despite of San Jose States dismal record they have played much better ball of late from a ATS perspective cashing 5 of their L/7 for their backers.

Those three losses came by a combined 11 points, and the three opponents converted at 80.3 percent. With that said , I'm betting they come into this tilt in desperation mode, which I'm betting we will see this Gators hoops group at their best vs a Auburn program they have beaten 11 straight times here at home dating back to 1997 and 23 of the L/26 times home and away. Meanwhile, Bruce Pearls hoops kids, are off a revenge win vs Alabama last time out, and could easily be in a letdown situation here against a hyped up group. Florida is 10-5 at home this season, while 3 of Auburns 4 losses this season have come on the road, and I'm betting on a 4th loss in this spot. FLORIDA is 34-14 ATS L/48 after failing to cover the spread in 3 or more consecutive games.

LA Monroe is very confident at the moment, and have a recent history of playing Troy very tough covering the L/4 meetings in this series including a win and cover in their L/visit here and get the nod again. LA-MONROE is 8-2 ATS when playing only their 2nd game in a week this season.

02-24-18 | Kansas +2 v. Texas Tech | 74-72 | Win | 100 | 19 h 19 m | Show | |
This version of Kansas may not be on the same level of Villanova or Virginia , but believe me when I say this is still a top tier team with plenty of pedigree which is backed by the experience of one of the best coaches in basketball Bill Self. Today in revenge mode for their worst loss in the Bill Self's tenure at this school in home games ( 85-73), I expect payback to be at the forefront of this battle vs Texas Tech. Note: Kansas has never been swept in a same season series by any Big 12 conference opponent, while the Red Raiders are just 2-14 ATS as chalk vs a side with revenge from a 10 point or more loss . KANSAS is 20-9 ATS L/29 in road games versus very good teams - outscoring their opponents by 8+ points/game . KANSAS is 11-3 ATS L/14 in road games versus excellent teams - shooting 45% or better with a defense of 42% or better. CBB teams where the line is +3 to -3 (KANSAS) - revenging a home loss vs opponent, off a blowout win by 20 points or more over a conference rival are 44-18 ATS L/21 seasons for a 71% conversion rate for bettors.

02-24-18 | James Madison +2.5 v. Delaware | 66-68 | Win | 100 | 8 h 20 m | Show | |
The Cardinals visit Blacksburg, Va. to face the Virginia Tech Hokies . My power rankings suggest these teams are evenly matched and is indicating value with taking James Madison in this spot. In their first meeting this season Delaware won 61-60 and in their final matchup last year another 1 point deficit saw Delaware win 58-57. I will not be surprised at all if this is also a one possession tilt, favoring the road dog to cover. JAMES MADISON is 8-1 ATS as a road underdog or pick this season. CBB Road teams where the line is +3 to -3 (JAMES MADISON) - good free throw shooting team (69-73%) against an average free throw shooting team (65-69%), in a game involving two average rebounding teams (+/-3 reb/game) after 15+ games are 70-39 ATS L/5 seasons for a 64% conversion rate for bettors.

Villanova enters this road game vs Creighton after having defeated and annihilating DePaul 93-62 on Wednesday evening in full big dance dress rehearsal mode. With that said, I expect the Wildcats will be ready to crush another hoops program. I know Virginia is ranked No.1 in the national polls, but according to my own power rankings systems Villanova is numero uno, and viable single digit road favs against almost any team in the country including Creightoin. VILLANOVA is 8-1 ATS versus good passing teams, averaging 16 or more assists/game this season.CREIGHTON is 4-12 ATS L/16 versus very good shooting teams - making 48% or more of their shots.

St.Mary;s thanks to their great record and superiority over most teams in this conference are been made huge favs on a consistent basis, but a lot of times the line is slightly bloated and offer value for advantage players. I know Pepperdine has had a down season, and are banged up , but they are more than capable of covering here tonight, behind Colbey Ross who has set the Waves freshman record for assists in a season. The top tier freshman in the WCC in both scoring (14.5, seventh overall) and assists (5.6, second overall, 35th nationally)is coming off a 21-point effort at Gonzaga. ST MARYS-CA is 2-9 ATS L/11 in home games when playing against a team with a losing record.ST MARYS-CA is 0-6 ATS L/6 as a home favorite of 18.5 to 24 points over the last 2 seasons.

UCLA enters this tilt vs their hosts Utah having won two straight and six of its last seven games dating back to Jan. 25. While recording a 14-2 home record, the Bruins are just 2-5 SU overall in road games this season (2-4 in Pac-12 road games) and despite of their current level of play are fade material vs this type of quality opponent on the road. Add to that Utah currently on a 4 game win streak got clobbered and embarrassed by the Bruins 83-64 six weeks ago and you have a very motivated side to back in this spot. UCLA is 6-15 ATS L/21 in road games after having won 4 or 5 of their last 6 games . Alford is 1-9 ATS in road games versus teams who make 8 or more 3 point shots/game on the season as the coach of UCLA.

02-22-18 | Charlotte +19 v. Western Kentucky | 55-93 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 14 m | Show | |
Charlotte has had a down season, and are currently on a 12 game losing skid, but they have been competitive lately, and during this ugly run have only once lost by more than 19 points. Earlier this season, WKU defeated Charlotte, 73-63, in Halton Arena, (January 13), and my projections estimate a 14 point win here for Western Kentucky in the rematch, which gives us very good value with the underdog in this spot. CHARLOTTE is 6-0 ATS L/6 vs. teams who are called for 3+ less fouls/game than their opponents after 15+ games over the last few seasons. CBB Underdogs of 10 to 19.5 points (CHARLOTTE) - off a home loss against opponent off 2 or more consecutive road wins are 88-43 ATS L/5 seasons for a 67% conversion rate for bettors.

02-22-18 | Rice +6 v. Florida Atlantic | 79-76 | Win | 100 | 11 h 43 m | Show | |
These two struggling College Hoops programs are sides that actually matchup fairly evenly despite of the home sides superior record. Make no mistake Rice is a team with very few positives attached to them, but from a systems stand point and according to my cross reference rankings are capable pups vs this type of opponent. My own projections have made Florida Atlantic 4 point chalk here, thus giving us underdog value on the line . FAU won the previous meeting this year on Jan. 27, 63-62, at Tudor Fieldhouse in a hard fought affair, and a rinse and repeat situation is not out of the question tonight. Rice has won its last two visits to Boca Raton. FLA ATLANTIC is 2-12 ATS L/14 versus teams who make 8 or more 3 point shots/game on the season. FLA ATLANTIC is 1-8 ATS versus teams who attempt 21 or more 3 point shots/game on the season after 15+ games dating back to last season.

02-22-18 | Wisconsin +3.5 v. Northwestern | 70-64 | Win | 100 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
Wisconsin has had a down season behind a very inexperienced young group, but according to my matchup analysis are solid competition for what my power rankings suggest is an over rated Northwestern program.Wisconsin has won 15 of the last 20 SU against the Wildcats overall, but NU won an earlier match-up this season, 60-52, at the Kohl Center and now with revenge on board for the Badgers. I,m betting we will get a motivated effort from them here vs a Chris Collins team that is just 5-10 ATS L/15 at home vs avenging Big 10 opposition . Note: The Badgers have won 5 of their last 6 trips to Evanston. . Note: Over the last two games, Wisconsin held Purdue (-29.5) and Minnesota (-13.5) to an average of 21.5 points below their season scoring averages. Winners of three of the last four, Wisconsin is my choice here tonight. CBB Road teams as an underdog or pick (WISCONSIN) - revenging a same season loss vs opponent, off a home win by 10 points or more are 161-106 ATS L/5 seasons for a 60% conversion rate for bettors on the blind.

San José State travels to Reno this Wednesday to face the Mountain West leading No.24-Nevada Wolf Pack. The last time these teams played the Wolfpack took out the Spartans by a 71-54 count. However, San José State played one of its best halves of the season allowing the Wolf Pack to 26.7 percent shooting and took a 26-24 lead into halftime, before succumbing in the 2nd half vs an extremely experienced and talented side. However, now with a blueprint in hand on how to compete with the Pack I'm betting San Jose State will be very prepared for the rematch. It must also be noted that despite of the DD loss, in that above mentioned game that it was just two-possession game with under five minutes to play in the second half. With that said, lets take the points. NEVADA is 7-19 ATS /26 versus struggling teams - outscored by their opponents by 8+ points/game .SAN JOSE ST is 8-2 ATS after 2 straight games giving up 9 or less offensive rebounds this season.

Bruce Pearl has assembled a pretty darn good group here at Auburn, and despite of some round about accusations about how he has done it , the fact still remains that this a up trending hoops program that must be respected . Here tonight in a big time rivalry , I expect the Auburn to be ready to bring down the hammer, vs a side that upset them earlier this season, by a 76-71 count, and that is in a let down scenario after a hard fought 81-71 loss to Kentucky this past weekend. Note: Auburn is a perfect 7-0 ATS vs teams off a loss this season. I know the Tigers also lost last time out, 84-75 to South Carolina in a surprising upset, but in the Tigers only other three losses this season, they came back and rebounded in their next game in explosive fashion cashing all three times, with a double-digit victories. Tigers are shooting 48 percent and averaging 89.1 points per game at home this season. They have won 12 of their 14 home games by double digits. Rinse and repeat here tonight. Auburn is 13-4 ATS l/17 at home in this series and have won and covered the two most recent games here at home. Pearl is 21-10 ATS as a home favorite or pick as the coach of AUBURN. AUBURN is 16-5 ATS when playing against a team with a winning record this season and have covered 8 of their L/10 vs above .500 squads.AUBURN is 12-1 ATS after a combined score of 155 points or more this season.AUBURN is 6-0 ATS L/6 after a game where they failed to cover the spread this season.

02-21-18 | Fordham +17 v. Davidson | 52-76 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 58 m | Show | |
According to my own projections this line is slightly bloated thus giving us value with the underdog Fordham. Recently Fordham has shown some life, and despite of a overall dismal record are 3-3 in their L/6 games, upsetting Umass, Duquesne and George Mason. Look for a rejuvenated Fordham team that got clobbered by Davidson back on Jan 14 at home to come out here looking to get some respect and be much more competitive . Note: Fordham leads the league, and is sixth in the nation, in steals with 243 (9.3/game) and can be a pesky side to play against , especially for free flowing sides like Davidson. CBB Road teams as an underdog or pick (FORDHAM) - revenging a same season loss vs opponent, off 2 consecutive losses of 10 or more to conference rivals are 102-52 L/5 seasons for a 66% conversion rate for bettors. CBB Road underdogs of 10 to 19.5 points (FORDHAM) - a terrible offensive team (63 or less PPG) against an average defensive team (67-74 PPG), after allowing 80 points or more are 90-43 ATS L/21 seasons for a 68% conversion rate for bettors.

Virginia the No.1 ranked team in the nation, has some pretty big spreads attached to their favorite status , which in turn offers up the occasional line value on their underdog opponents. Tonight that's exactly the situation.The Cavaliers have clinched a double-bye in the ACC Tournament and will be out just looking to stay healthy as we get loser to tournament time, thus giving us value with a program that has cashed 14 of their L/20 as road underdogs in this series. Note: Fourteen of Georgia Tech's contests this season have been decided by 10 points or less, including six ACC games, and they were not decided until the final few minutes. Tech has played nine games decided by five points or fewer or in overtime, most for any ACC team other than Florida State (10). GEORGIA TECH is 21-10 ATS L/31 versus excellent ball handling teams - committing 12 or less turnovers/game over the last few seasons. CBB Home favorites of 10 or more points (VIRGINIA) - after 4 straight games forcing opponent to commit 11 or less turnovers against opponent after 5 straight games forcing opponent to commit 14 or less turnovers are 15-48 ATS L/21 seasons for a go against conversion rate of 76% for bettors, CBB Road underdogs of 20 or more points (GEORGIA TECH) - revenging a loss where team scored less than 60 points, off 2 consecutive losses of 10 or more to conference rivals are 45-16 ATS L/21 seasons for a 74% conversion rate for bettors.

Duquesne goes to Olean, N.Y. to battle St. Bonaventure this Wednesday night. St.Bonnie might be susceptible to a letdown situation here after a big time 77-74 win over #16 (AP) Rhode Island this past Friday. SBU barely got by Duquesne in their first meeting 84-81 win and I'm betting covering won't come easily this time around either. ST BONAVENTURE is 20-35 ATS L/55 as a home favorite of 10 or more points. ST BONAVENTURE is 0-6 ATS L/6 after covering 3 of their last 4 against the spread.

Despite of N.Illinois experiencing a down season, they are being underestimated here according to my own player to player matchup systems analysis and we have value taking the dog on this line. NIU I'm betting will ride the momentum from its 75-67 upset victory over Western Michigan this past Saturday and keep the flow going here today against a team they have circled for payback for two losses they suffered to Ball State last season. It must be noted NIU is 5-0 ATS as DD dogs here as visitors and 6-1 ATS with revenge. Meanwhile, Ball State is in a emotional letdown situation after a huge battle that they won vs Toledo on the weekend, and could easily be flat here tonight against a team that I'm sure they are over looking. BALL ST is 12-29 ATS as a favorite over the last few seasons. BALL ST is 2-11 ATS after 3 straight games where they made 47% of their shots or better.

02-20-18 | Creighton +5.5 v. Butler | 70-93 | Loss | -106 | 9 h 3 m | Show | |
Creighton is 19-8 this year (8-6 BIG EAST) in has played a hard core nine games against ranked opponents. Six of the Jays losses were vs teams that were ranked at the time (No. 22 Baylor, No. 15 Gonzaga, No. 23 Seton Hall, No. 10 Xavier, No. 1 Villanova, No. 5 Xavier), despite of those setbacks the Bluejays are also one of 27 teams nationally with three wins over top-25 teams and must not be underestimated as dogs against any opponent, especially against Butler program that they matchup well against.( blue Jays are 4-1 SU/5 meetings and have covered 7 of the L/9 overall in this series) Creighton has won the last three games by scores of 75-64, 76-67 and 85-74.Creighton has shown the ability to slow down Butlers top offensive threat in the recent past, Kelan Martin (20.7 ppg. this year) , as the star forward has not shot well at all while going head to head by reigning BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year Khyri Thomas. This I'm betting will be the key to a Creighton cover tonight. Note: I know Creighton lost last time out to Marquette, but that's a good omen for us here , as Creighton is 7-0 this season in the game immediately after a loss, outscoring their opposition 87.9 - 63.6 and outrebounding the opposition 40.1 - 32.9.McDermott is 17-6 ATS L/23 off a home loss as the coach of CREIGHTON. Creighton is averaging 85.4 points per game this season (sixth nationally), shooting 50.2 percent from the floor (10th nationally), and 37.9 percent from three-point range. CU also owns a 1.63 assist/turnover ratio (fourth nationally) to date, and a +1.9 rebound margin.Creighton's 14 games this season making 80 percent or better at the line ranks tied for fifth nationally, and tied with Butler for first among all major conference teams and gives them a must needed edge here on the road. CREIGHTON is 8-1 ATS L/9 on Tuesday nights over the last couple of seasons.CREIGHTON is 12-4 ATS L/16 after allowing 80 points or more .CREIGHTON is 21-8 ATS L/30 after failing to cover 2 of their last 3 against the spread.

02-20-18 | Rhode Island -7 v. La Salle | 95-93 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 46 m | Show | |
Rhode Island ranks very high in power rankings polls so I have no problem what so ever recommending we lay the lumber here with them here on the road vs what is currently a far inferior hoops program LaSalle. Rhody has won two straight and seven of the last eight meetings, including an 74-62 victory on Jan. and has won four straight in this series at Gola Arena. Despite a loss at St. Bonaventure two games back, Rhode Island has remained firmly in both national polls for a fifth straight week, ranking No. 18 in both the Associated Press and College Basketball Coaches Poll. With this game coming late in the season, Rhode Island seeking a NCAA tourney bid will not over look their opponents tonight and instead come out here looking to make a statement. LASALLE is 0-6 ATS L/6 after 4 straight games forcing opponent to commit 14 or less turnovers this season. RHODE ISLAND is 10-3 ATS L/13 when playing only their 2nd game in a week this season.LASALLE is 1-11 ATS L/12 versus good ball handling teams - committing 14 or less turnovers/game and is 2-11 ATS when playing against a team with a winning record.

02-20-18 | Toledo +1.5 v. Eastern Michigan | 79-85 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 41 m | Show | |
I'm betting on Toledo to bounce back from Saturday's 99-71 defeat at Ball State when it travels to Ypsilanti, Mich to play Eagles.It was the Rockets only second loss in 13 games. Toledo swept the Eagles in last seasons series with 73-57 victory in the Glass City and a 60-56 win in Ypsilanti. Meanwhile, E.Mich is off a road win vs Central Michigan and have won 4 of their L/5 , and despite of a winning overall record are just 2-2 in their L/4 home games and I'm betting the 3rd loss in their L/5 is on the horizon. From a matchup perspective the Rockets D, has allowed opponents to shoot 45.2 % on the road and E.Michigan has shot, 48.2 at home. My won projections, suggest that E. Mich should make between 40% to 46% of their shots here tonight, which is a good omen, considering the Rockets are 8-0 ATS in road games when their opponents make 40% to 46% of their shots in a game. It seems that Toledo thrives against teams like this when pushed into a shootout scenario where both teams are projected to score 70 points or more , which the linesmakers are expecting . Look for Tre'Shaun Fletcher who ranks second in scoring at 19.7 ppg, and Jaelan Sanford who is seventh at 16.9 ppg to be the catalysts behind a Toledo victory. |

The Stanford Cardinal enter this game against California looking for a revenge for a 77-74 upset home loss to the Bears as 7 point chalk back Dec 30. The Cardinal looked asleep at the proverbial wheel in that tilt, but will be wide awake in this spot and ready to lay down some payback. The Cardinal are 9-1 ATS L/10 with revenge in this series, and look like a viable side to back vs a Bears side that has failed to cover 7 of 9 as home dogs this season and that has lost 11 of their L/12 overall SU. |

The Clemson Tigers are 12-0 SU at home this season, and own a No.4 ranking in the RPI and matchup very well against Coach K and company a a program that is No.10 in the same RPI rankings . Also my own numbers suggest the superior team is the Tigers and they get the nod here vs a Duke Blue Devils hoops program that have not faired all that well here at Clemson, covering just 7 of their L/19 visits.

Mississippi State has revenge on board for a 64-58 loss in Oxford earlier this season. Both the lines-makers and myself agree that Miss State should be hefty favs here in the rematch, which translates well into what I am predicting will be a lopsided win ....as the Bulldogs are 19-3 ATS as home favs in straight up revenge victories. The Bulldogs are also 20-4 SU L/24 at home in this series and have a big edge vs a Rebs side that has nothing to play for after suffering 6 straight losses. With said I'm recommending we back the very motivated home team. QUOTE: "They have excellent guards. It's a rivalry game, so everything goes out the window. Nothing that's happened before this game matters. It's all about this game." — MSU coach Ben Howland on Ole Miss. The Bulldogs have held nine of its 13 SEC foes below their scoring average and 21 of 26 overall.Mississippi State leads the SEC and is 45th nationally in points allowed at 66.8.
