01-27-19 | Iowa v. Minnesota +1 | 87-92 | Win | 100 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
   IOWA @ MINNESOTA Iowa had their 5 game winning streak snapped when they lost 82-67 at home to the Spartans in their last game. They average 82 points a game but were stopped cold by Michigan State. Their last loss was also to a good defensive team as they lost to Purdue 86-70 and were held to no more than 73 points against Ohio St and Northwestern who are also vey good defensive teams. Minnesota has won 7 of their last 10 games with their last 2 losses on the road. They play a good defensive game, holding teams below 70 points on average and did that to 7 of their last 10 opponents. They are 10-1 at home and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings with Iowa while the Hawkeyes are 11-25-1 ATS in their last 37 games against teams with a winning home record. Take Minnesota |

01-27-19 | Michigan State v. Purdue +2 | 63-73 | Win | 100 | 4 h 3 m | Show | |
     MICHIGAN STATE @ PURDUE The Spartans are 18-2 and one of the better teams in the country and have won 13 straight games. They are 9-0 in conference play but their offense has been a little sluggish. They average 84 points a game but have scored below that in 6 of their last 7 games and are playing a tough team at home. Purdue is 13-6 but 9-0 at home and have won 7 of their last 8 games while scoring at least 79 points in 5 of the 7 wins. They have a great defense that allows just 68 points a game but at home that drops to 61 points a game. Although the Spartans average 84 points a game they have been held to just 74 over their last 5 games and normally hit over 50% from the floor but just 47% in this stretch. They are playing one of the better defensive teams in their conference who are always dangerous on their home court. I'll be taking the points with the home team in this one. Take Purdue |
|||||||
01-26-19 | Auburn v. Mississippi State +1 | 84-92 | Win | 100 | 10 h 32 m | Show | |
   AUBURN @ MISSISSIPPI STATE The Tigers went 11-2 in their first 13 games then conference play took it's toll as they went 2-3 losing all 3 in the SEC. They lost their last 2 and are 1-3 on the road. Both of their latest losses were tough as they lost by 5 points total. Their defense that allows 69 points a game have allowed at least 78 points in 4 of their last 5 games while the offense is hitting just 42% from the floor. Since they lost their big man Wiley they have lost 2 straight games and their leading rebounder and top shooter hitting 58% of his shots. The Bulldogs are in a similar situation losing their last 3 to SEC teams with 2 on the road and 1 game in OT. They are tough at home averaging 85 points a game while the defense allows just 69.5 and that should be the difference today. This will be a tough place for Auburn to get back on track while the Bulldogs could get right again as they are 9-1 at home. Take Mississippi State |
|||||||
01-26-19 | VCU v. Duquesne +3.5 | 80-74 | Loss | -109 | 5 h 28 m | Show | |
    VCU @ DUQUESNE VCU has won 6 of their last 8 games with both losses on the road. They average less than 70 points a game hitting just 42% from the floor and 30% of their 3's. They have problems offensively on the road averaging less than 60 points scoring while hitting 39% from the floor and a dismal 25% of their 3's. They are playing a tough Duquesne team who are 11-1 at home and average 80 points a game at home while holding opponents to 43% shooting from the floor and over their last 5 games are averaging 79 points a game and have held opponents to 72 scoring points this season. This is a tough place for VCU to pick up a win and i'm more than happy to grab points with the home team. Take Duquesne |
|||||||
01-26-19 | Clemson +6 v. NC State | 67-69 | Win | 100 | 5 h 57 m | Show | |
CLEMSON @ NC STATE The Tigers have lost 4 of their last 5 games but 2 were to Virginia and Duke and 2 were on the road to the Seminoles and Syracuse. Their defense has been solid as they held 7 of their last 9 opponents below 70 points. They are playing an NC State team that has allowed 4 of their last 6 opponents to score at leat 80 points and who are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games. The Wolfpack defense has been battered allowing opponents to score 80 points over their last 5 games while the offense in hitting just 42% from the floor. They are also dealing with injuries and against a tough Clemson team could have their hands full as they are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as the favorite. This won't be an easy game for the Wolpack to win let alone cover. Take Clemson |
|||||||
01-24-19 | NC State v. Louisville -5 | 77-84 | Win | 100 | 10 h 38 m | Show | |
 NORTH CAROLINA STATE @ LOUISVILLE The Wolfpack had won 6 straight games but have since gone 2-2. their last loss was 71-67 to Wake Forest on the road as an 8.5 point favorite. They are 1-3 ATS in their last 4 games and have been held under their scoring average in 3 of their last 4 games. They average 10 points less offensively on the road than at home while the defense allows 8 points more than their season average. Louisville has won 7 of their last 10 games and 2 of those losses were on the road and 1 was against Kentucky at home. They scored at least 79 points in 5 straight games including wins over Miami and the Tarheels. With the Wolfpack dealing with injuries and Louisville having a 10-1 home record, this could end up a huge victory for the home side. Take Louisville |
|||||||
01-24-19 | Michigan State -4.5 v. Iowa | 82-67 | Win | 100 | 9 h 23 m | Show | |
   MICHIGAN STATE @ IOWA The Spartans are 17-2 and have a 12 game winning streak where they are 11-1 ATS as well. They won by double digits in 7 of their last 9 games and have a great defense holding opponents to 66 points scoring. Over their last 5 games they have hels opponents to 62 point and letting them hit 36% for the floor. Only 2 teams managed to score at least 70 poinys during their 12 game winning streak. Iowa is playing well also as they have won 5 straight conference games sine losing their first 3. They have been able to score but have also allowed 3 of their last 6 opponents to score at least 80 points. This will be their toughest game of the year for them but it may be over their head. They have been held to 73 points or less in 4 of their last 7 games. Take Michigan State |
|||||||
01-24-19 | Tulsa +14 v. Cincinnati | 64-88 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
  TULSA @ CINCINNATI Tulsa is 12-7 with 3 of their last 4 losses to the top 3 teams in the conference including a 70-65 OT loss to the Bearcats a few weeks ago. They have a tough defense that held 6 of their last 10 opponents to 70 points or less and are 3-1ATS in their last 4 games while also going 4-2 ATS in their last 4 meetings with the Bearcats. They average holding opponents below 70 points while hitting less than 41% from the floor. Cincinnati has won 8 of their last 10 games but don't usually blow teams away. They are 1-4 ATS as double digit favorites in the last 5 and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 overall. This will be a tough game for Cinci to run away with and Tulsa could have some revenge in mind after that OT loss. Take Tulsa |

01-21-19 | Maryland +9.5 v. Michigan State | 55-69 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 10 m | Show | |
  MARYLAND @ MICHIGAN STATE The Terps are 16-3 and just whipped Ohio State for their 7th stright win. They are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games and scored at least 74 points in 8 of their last 10 games while the defense has held opponents below 70 in 4 of their last 5. They average 77 points while hitting 48% from the floor and 37% of their 3's. Defensively they are holding teams to 41% from the floor and 33 % of their 3's. The Spartans are on a roll as well winning 11 straight. Maryland is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 road games and as well as the Spartans have played this in a pretty big number to cover. The Terps haven't been this big a dog all season and shouldn't be here' Take Maryland |
|||||||
01-20-19 | Providence v. Marquette -7 | 68-79 | Win | 100 | 1 h 53 m | Show | |
  PROVIDENCE @ MARQUETTE The Friars have lost 3 of their last 4 games including 2 on their home court. Over their last 5 games they averaged just 72 points a game while shooting just 41% from the floor and 32% of their 3's.

They have won 9 of their last 10 games with the 1 loss at a very good St John's team. They are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games overall and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. Take Marquette |
|||||||
01-19-19 | Virginia +150 v. Duke | 70-72 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
    VIRGINIA @ DUKE There is no point in putting a bunch of stats down as we have probably the 2 best teams playing each other. Virginia is undefeated while Duke has lost 2 games with 1 being at home. Duke has been made a small favorite because they are the home team but I don't think that comes into play here. One could argue that Virginia could be a small favorite and that is why I made my pick on the moneyline. Virginia is the more disciplined team while Duke is the younger team. Virginia is 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games and have beaten everyone they faced. For me it's just another team Virginia has to beat on their way to the NCAA Tournament. Getting them at this price is well woth the investment and I am more than happy to get my money's worth Take Virginia |
|||||||
01-19-19 | Kentucky v. Auburn -4 | 82-80 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 39 m | Show | |
  KENTUCKY @ AUBURN Kentucky bounced back with 3 straight wins after their 77-75 loss at Alabama. it was their only loss so far this season on the road and are now 13-3 overall. They average 80 points a game but that drops to 71 when playing on the road as well as their shooting. They hit 49% form the floor but just 45% on the road and their 3 point shooting drops from 35% to 31%. Over their last 5 games they have scored 71 points while hitting under 40% from the floor and just 30% of their 3's. Auburn has won 4 of their last 6 with the 2 losses on the road to Ole Miss and NC St. They are 9-0 at home averaging 90 points a game while allowing opponents to score 63. They are 2nd in the country grabbing 16 offensive boards giving them plenty of 2nd chance shots. this is a huge game for the Tigers and I like their chances at home. Take Auburn |
|||||||
01-18-19 | Xavier v. Villanova -10 | 75-85 | Push | 0 | 13 h 34 m | Show | |
   XAVIER @ VILLANOVA Xavier has won 2 straight games barely winning the last 70-69 over Butler at home. They average 74 points a game but have been held to 70 or less in 6 of their last 9 games and below 60 in 3 of them.

01-16-19 | Georgia Tech v. Clemson -6.5 | 60-72 | Win | 100 | 12 h 36 m | Show | |
GEORGIA TECH @ CLEMSON Georgia Tech had the good fortune of playing 7 of their last 9 games on their home court and had a nice upset win in Syracuse in their lasy game and that may have been the result of Syracuse looking ahead to their following game against Duke which they won. Tech has 8 of their 10 wins at home and now play a hungry defensive minded Clemson team who just ran the gauntlet against Virginia, Duke and Syracuse. They lost all 3 and are looking to take it out on someone. They out score opponents 73-63 at home while Georgia Tech averages just 64 points on the road. Clemson has won the last 3 meetings and look good for another one Take Clemson |
|||||||
01-16-19 | Iowa v. Penn State -120 | 89-82 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 3 m | Show | |
   IOWA @ PENN STATE Iowa has won 3 straight conference games since losing to Purdue. That includes a big 72-62 home win over Ohio State in their last game and a road win at Nebraska. That is quite a good run but may have taken it's toll as Iowa has their leading scorer nursing a sore ankle whie scoring no more than 73 points in either of their last 2 wins. They average 82 points a game but scored 76 over their last 5 and only 70 in away games. Penn State has it's problems but it's not on the defensive end as they allow 67 points a game and under 65 at home. It is the only thing that doesn't change a strong defense. They have beaten Iowa in 4 of their last 6 meetings and this looks like a spot they could take advantage of with a tired Iowa team scoring below their average. Look for Penn St to win this game at home over a tired hurting Iowa team. Take Penn State |

01-16-19 | Creighton v. St. John's -2.5 | 66-81 | Win | 100 | 9 h 46 m | Show | |
  CREIGHTON @ ST JOHNS Creighton lost a hard fought game to Villanova at home 90-78 and now play on the road against an excellent St John's team. They are 10-7 but just 1-3 in road games and now have a 3 game losing streak which includes 2 straight home losses. They won their 1st conference game but have lost the last 3 which resulted in their current 3 game losing streak. Over their last 5 games their defense has allowed teams to score 84 points a game while nailing 49% from the floor and over 40% of their 3's. St John's excels at home with an 8-1 record while scoring 84 points a game and holding teams to 68. They are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games and 2 of their last 3 losses were on the road. This is a tough spot for Creighton to turn things around and I don't see that losing streak being broken Take St John's |
|||||||
01-15-19 | Virginia Tech +7.5 v. Virginia | 59-81 | Loss | -107 | 10 h 33 m | Show | |
    VIRGINIA TECH @ VIRGINIA Tech is 14-1 with the 1 loss 63-62 at Penn St, They scored at least 77 points in 7 of theirlast 9 games while holding all 10 opponents below 70 points. They won by double digits in 8 of those 10 games while averaging 79 points a gme and allowing just 52. They matchup and play a similar game to Virginia and only in 1 game of their past 10 meetings did a team reach 80 points, Virginia puts up the same kind of numbers but isn't as strong offensively. Virginia has their next game with Duke so could be caught looking ahead. Take Virginia Tech |
|||||||
01-15-19 | St. Louis v. Fordham +7.5 | 63-60 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
The home team has won the 6 of the last 7 meetings while St Louis score just 64 points on the road and were held to 65 points in 7 of their last 10 games. Their last 3 losses have all been away from their home court where they average just 64 points a game. Their last 3 wins were all by 7 points or less and they are hitting just 40% form the floor and 27% of their 3's over their last 5 games.Fordham lost by 7 points or less in their last 3 losses and 3 of their last 4 losses at home were by 7 or less. They average 68 at home and allow teams to score just 62 there. This seems like yoo much to ask a low scoring team to cover. Take Fordham |
|||||||
01-14-19 | Syracuse +17 v. Duke | 95-91 | Win | 100 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
Syracuse won 7 of their last 10 games but faltered in their last game losing to Georgia Tech at home. They are 6-2 ATS in their lst 8 road games and 3 of their last 4 meetings ended with the winning team winning by 4 points or less. Duke has never been this big a favorite over Syracuse in their last 10 games the played. The Orange are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games while their degfense has held opponents to an amazing 62 points a game. I don't think they will beat Duke but asking to cover a 17 point spread seems reasonable Take Syracuse |
|||||||
01-14-19 | Nebraska v. Indiana -2.5 | 66-51 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
 NEBRASKA @ INDIANA Nebraska is 12-4 but just 1-3 in road games and 3 losses in conference. They lost to Iowa and Maryland in 2 of their lst 3 games and both were on the road. They average 79 points a game but that drops to 75 on the road and so does their 3 point shooting that falls to less than 31%, But their defense really suffers as they allow 80 points as opposed to the 63 for the season. They have never been les than a 5,5 dog the last 4 games at Indiana. The Hoosiers average over 77 points a game while allowing just 66. At home it jumps to 82 on offense and drops to 60 on defense, Their last 3 losses were to Duke Maryland and Michigan which were all on the road. This is a tough spot to ask Nebraska to pick up a win. Take Indiana |
|||||||
01-13-19 | Michigan State -6.5 v. Penn State | 71-56 | Win | 100 | 6 h 15 m | Show | |
MICHIGAN STATE @ PENN STATE The Spartans have won 9 straight games and doing it offensively and defensively. They scored at least 81 points in 5 of their last 6 games and held opponents below 70 in 7 of their last 9. For the season they average almost 87 points a game and allow just 67.5 while hitting over 50% from the floor and 40% of their 3's. They are also 1 of the top rebounding teams as they are 4th in the country and 1st in the Big 10. Penn St has a good defense but has struggled all season offensively as they average less than 68 points a game which is the worst in the Big 10. They hit just 41% from the floor and 31% of their 3's both ranked 13th in the conference. I can't see this game staying close unless the Spatans have a complete breakdown offensively and defensively. Take Michigan State |
|||||||
01-13-19 | Butler v. Xavier +1 | 69-70 | Win | 100 | 2 h 11 m | Show | |
 BUTLER @ XAVIER Butler has lost 3 of their last 4 games to drop to 10-6 on the year. They are 1-2 in conference play and 0-3 on the road. They average 74 points a game but on the road that plunges to 57 a game while allowing teams to hit over 50% from the floor and 37% of their 3's. They are just 2-7 ATS in their last 9 meetings with Xavier while going 0-2 ATS the last 2 games they were favorites on the road. Xavier broke a 2 game conference losing streak with a comeback against the Hoyas after being down by double digits winning 81-75. They are 8-2 at home where they average almost 80 points a game which is 6 more than their season average while the defense is holding teams below 70. Getting points with the home side seems like a bargain. Take Xavier |

01-12-19 | Duke v. Florida State +8 | 80-78 | Win | 100 | 4 h 3 m | Show | |
   DUKE @ FLORIDA STATE Duke is 13-1 with their loss to Gonzaga and they have won 8 in a row since. They won 6 of those games on their home court but haven't really been challenged since they have been at least a 17 point favorite in 6 of the games and over a 20 point favorite in 5 of those. Florida St is 13-2 with the 2 losses to Villanova and a loss to Virginia. Both games were away from their home court where they are 8-0 and they are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings with Duke. Their defense has held their lst 5 opponents to 68 points and hitting just 41% of their floor shots. This will be a tough place for Duke to win let alone cover the spread. Take Florida State |

    PENN STATE @ NEBRASKA Penn St lost their last 2 games but they were against Michigan and Wisconsin and their defense held both teams to 71 points or less. They held 7 of their last 10 opponents below 70 points but they struggle offensively scoring above 70 points in only 4 of their last 10 games. Over their last 5 games they held opponents to 66 points and just 44% from the floor. Nebraska has lost 2 straight games and allowed Iowa to score 93 points in their last. Nebraska has a good team and play well at home but Penn St was an 11 point underdog at Michigan in that loss and the game was a lot closer than the final score. This seems like too many points for Nebraska to cover against a good defense that consistently holds teams under 70. Take Penn State |

They have a tough defense that allows just 63 points a game and at home that drops to 59. They are 6-4 in their last 10 games but 3 losses were by 11 points total and 1 of those was in OT. Iowa doesn't do well against good defensive teams on the road. Take Northwestern |

   CLEMSON @ SYRACUSE Clemson let Duke score the first 14 points in the 2nd half which broke open a close game as they lost 87-68 in their last game. They have 4 seniors in their starting 5 which anchors a strong defense that allows 67 points a game. They are 10-4 and 2 of their other 3 losses were by 7 points total.

01-06-19 | Nebraska -2.5 v. Iowa | 84-93 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
   NEBRASKA @ IOWA Nebraska lost a heartbreaker 74-72 at Maryland in their last game and you can point to 15 of 23 from the foul line as the reason they lost. They had won 7 of 9 before that game as well as going 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games. Over their last 5 games they are averaging 82 points a game while draining close to 44% of their 3's. They have the 9th ranked defense in the country that allows only 59 points a game while limiting teams below 38% from the floor which is 10th in the nation. Overall they are 35-16-1 ATS in their last 52 games including 17-4 ATS against the Big 10. Iowa seems to do the same thing every year as they win their out of conference games and then get hammered in the Big 10. Last year they were 4-14 in conference and this year are 11-3 with all 3 losses to good defensive teams in the Big 10. They were held to 70 points or less in all 3 games but average 82 points against the weak out of conference teams. Their defense allowed 2 of the teams to score at least 86 points. There is no question who the better team is. Take Nebraska |

George Mason has had a tough schedule and are 7-7 but won their last game 85-60 on the road to a tough St Joes team while 3 of their last 4 losses were against Baylor, Cincinnati and a tough 1 point loss at Kansas St. They got 5 of their 7 wins at home as they held opponents to just 67 points a game and 43% shooting from the floor. This is a good spot on their home court to grab a nice win against a weak Bonnie team. Take George Mason |

01-06-19 | Xavier +9 v. Marquette | 52-70 | Loss | -107 | 4 h 3 m | Show | |
     XAVIER @ MARQUETTE Xavier fell apart in the last few minutes of their last game against Seton Hall in an 80-70 loss. They had previously won 7 of 9 games losing to both Missouri and Cincinnati on the road. They have a very well balanced offense with 6 players averaging at least 9.5 points a game and 5 of them average double digits with 3 hitting over 52% from the floor. This is a huge rivalry with Xavier winning 8 of their last 10 meetings with Marquette including 3 of the last 4 at Marquette. They have held opponents to 42% shooting and less than 70 points over their last 5 games while knocking down 49% from the floor and hitting 37% of their 3's. Marquette has won 8 of their last 10 games but were held to 69 points on 41% shooting by St Johns in a 20 point loss in their last game to start conference play. This is a big spread to ask Marquette to cover as the spread in their last 10 meetings were below 10 points in 7 of them while Xavier is 17-8 ATS in their last 25 road games. Take Xavier |

01-05-19 | Michigan State v. Ohio State +2.5 | 86-77 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 57 m | Show | |
    MICHIGAN STATE @ OHIO STATE The Spartans have won 7 straight games and are 12-2 overall with both losses in games away from their home court. Their last loss was on the road at Louisville while 8 of their wins were at home. They scored at least 81 points in their last 5 home games but reached 80 just once in their last 4 away games including a season low 63 points at Florida and now face the Buckeyes who are 1 of the best defensive teams allowing just 62 points a game. They also could be without Langford their 3rd leading scorer who averages 15 a game. Ohio St is 12-1 including an 8-1 home record with that loss to Syracuse in their worst shooting game of the year. They average over 80 points a game at home with 7 players that score over 7.5 points a game and 2 of their top 3 scorers hitting over 41% of their 3's. They have held 5 of their last 6 opponents to 67 points or less and I look for their defense to be too much for the Spartans. Take Ohio State |

01-05-19 | Creighton v. Butler -4.5 | 69-84 | Win | 100 | 4 h 50 m | Show | |
  CREIGHTON @ BUTLER Creighton won their 1st conference game at Providence and now will play their 2nd straight road game. This could be their toughest game yet as they average 8 points less scoring on the road and Butler is a very good defensive team at home allowing opponents 67 points a game. They have hit over 50% of their shots but again Butler allows teams just 43% from the floor at home. Butler also scores 81 points a game at home while hitting 50% from the floor and 40% of their 3's with those stats being higher than their overall averages. They lost their 1st conference game to the Hoyas and they don't want to start out 0-2 in the Big East. Look for them to come back as a hungry team that gets it done at home. Take Butler |

01-03-19 | Illinois v. Indiana UNDER 145.5 | 65-73 | Win | 100 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
                      ILLINOIS @ INDIANA The Hoosiers have been rolling in the BIG10, coming into tonight's home game versus Illinois with an 11-2 overall record and a 2-0 conference record. One reason for their success has been their stellar defensive play. Indiana is allowing opponents to average just 64 points per game this season. That average goes down to just 59.9 points per game when they play at home. The under is 16-5-1 in their last 22 games against BIG10 teams. The under is 58-25 in Illinois last 83 road games. The trends clearly show that another low scoring game is expected here tonight. Take UNDER. |

    NEBRASKA @ MARYLAND Nebraska is 11-2 with both losses away from their home court and one to Big 10 rival Minnesota. They average over 80 points a game but just 73 on the road and the defense allows over 75 points a game. They are playing a Maryland team that was 15-3 at home last year and all 3 of their losses were by 5 points or less. Two of those losses were against Virginia ang Purdue so thos os not a team to be taken lightly. The terps at home might be the toughest game for Nebraska since their beating at the hands of Texas Tech. Take Maryland |

They were also outrebounded in those games and are allowing 88 points in away games. Providence has won 7 of it's last 8 games and the last game was a huge win in Texas. Their defense allows just 67 points a game and 63 on their home court. They are hitting 45% of their 3's and averaging over 81 points over their last 5 games.

       DREXEL @ NORTHEASTERN Drexel lost 2 straight games but theywere to Temle and Connecticut where they were double digit dogs. Now they again are a double digit dog against a team not as good as either of those. They covered the spread in 3 of 4 prior to those losses as they average 76 points a game while hitting 37% of their 3's. Against a good Temple team they had 4 players hitting double digits in scoring. Northeasten average 71 points a game and are 0-2 ATS as double digit favorites. and they are 4-5 in their last 9 games. Take Drexel |

     UNLV VS BUCKNELL UNLV has lost 4 of their last 6 games and some of the losses were against some bad teams. They lost to both Illinois amd Valparaiso who are both struggling against everyone. They don't shoot well hitting just 38% in their last 5 games while allowing opponents to score 75 points a game. Bucknell has lost 3 of their last 4 but against all very good teams including a 73-71 loss to 15th ranked Ohio St, They are a disciplined team that doesn't make mistakes and have 5 players averaging at least 9.5 points a game. UNLV is 0-3 ATS in their last 3 games as a favorite wile BucKnell us 4-1 ATS in their last 5 as a dog. Take Bucknell |

                                  PENN @ NEW MEXICO The Quakers are off to an impressive 9-2 start to the season, which includes a huge upset win over Villanova. The Lobos though have been terribly disappointing, losing three of six at home so far. New Mexico is coming off a nine point home loss to unranked North Texas in it's last game. The Lobos have averaged fewer than 70 points, and conceded an average of more than 80 points in their last five games overall. Their defense has been shocking, even at home where they are allowing 80.2 points per game this season. The Lobos have failed to cover in four straight against Ivy League teams, while the Quakers have covered in six of their last seven following an ATS win. Take PENN. |

ARIZONA STATE @ VANDERBILT The Sun Devils are 8-1 and in their last game, were down by 18 to Georgia before coming back to win the game 76-74 on the road. Their only loss was to an excellent #6 Nevada team who they were actually leading by 12 at the half but they couldn't overcome their 17 TO's even though they held Nevada to just 17% of their 3's. They average 83 points and 44 boards a game and have 4 double digit scorers and 4 players grabbing at least 5 rebounds a game. They averaged over 80 points hitting 48% of their shots over their last 5 games while holding opponents to 74 points and 40% from the floor. They are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games. Vanderbilt is 6-2 but both losses were in their last 4 games including a loss to Kent as a 13 point favorite. Their last 4 wins were against teams that they were at least a 12 point favorite and at least 15 in 3 of those. Although they are 5-1 at home, all 5 wins were against cupcakes and the last time they played a Power 5 team they were held to 65 points by NC State. This will be their toughest game and without their leading scorer who is injured, will have to make up his 16 points against a very good Sundevil team. Take Arizona State |

12-16-18 | St. Louis +8 v. Houston | 64-68 | Win | 100 | 1 h 57 m | Show | |
SAINT LOUIS @ HOUSTON The Bilikens are getting a boat load of points here in Houston, and I like the dog in a game between two of the country's top defenses. The Bilikens have allowed just 62 points per game in their last five, while Houston has allowed less than 60 points per game in their last five. The underdog has covered in two of the last three head to head meetings between these teams. The road team has also been the better bet, covering in four of the last five head to head meetings. I am going to go against the line movement here and take the points. Take SLU |

12-15-18 | Cincinnati +5 v. Mississippi State | 59-70 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 42 m | Show | |
CINCINNATI @ MISS STATE The Bearcats lost their first game of the season to Ohio State, but they have won nine straight since. Cincinnati has won each of their last three versus the Bulldogs, and they look good getting points in tonight's game. The Bearcats are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 non-conference games, and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The most consistent trends here actually point toward an under, but I think with such a low projected total the underdog is also in play plus the 5.5 points. Take CIN. |

12-15-18 | Villanova +8.5 v. Kansas | 71-74 | Win | 104 | 4 h 5 m | Show | |
   VILLANOVA @ KANSAS The Kansas Jayhawks are the #1 ranked team in the country, but they've had some close calls in recent games. While they had one big win over Wofford, three of their last four games have been close. They needed overtime to beat Stanford and Tennessee, and they beat New Mexico State by just three points. Villanova doesn't look quite as strong as it has in recent years, but the Wildcats have won four of their last five versus Kansas outright. Given a significan point spread to work with, there's no reason why Villanova can't keep this game close enough to get a cover. The Wildcats are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Kansas. Take VILL. |

They average 75 points a game but have averaged 78 in their road games while the defense allows less than 68 points a game. This is a huge rivalry game between Philadelphia teams and the last 2 seasons even though Villanova had a better team than this season, they were a 14 point favorite playing Temple at home. They are double digit favorites for this game after losing their best players from the last 2 seasons to the NBA. They have won 4 straight after losing 2 in a row which ironically were on their home court. They average 76 points a game and though they have played better,they were outrebounded in 4 of their last 6 games. They are just 4-4 ATS in their games while Temple is 2-0 in the games they have been the dog. Take Temple |

They avreage 82 points and 36 boards while dishing out 16 assists a game. They are hitting 47% from the floor and are 12th in the nation hitting over 11 3's a game and at a 39% clip. They have size and experience as 3 seniors are rotating in their lineup. The Gamecocks are 3-2 with 1 loss at home to Stonybrook as a 15 point favorite. They have had injuries and their big man Silva has been playing poorly and been in foul trouble early. They hit just 66% of their free throws and are 1-4 ATS in their 5 games played. They count on their defense and like to force TO's but Wofford only turns the ball over 10 times a game which is 15th best in the nation. Take Wofford |

11-23-18 | Tennessee +3.5 v. Kansas | 81-87 | Loss | -102 | 12 h 44 m | Show | |
       TENNESSEE VS KANSAS Tennessee has a 4-0 record with their last being a 92-81 win over an excellent Louisville team who had previously been undefeated. The Volunteers had 5 players score in double digits as they hit over 54% from the floor and over 36% of their 3's. They average 83 points and 43 boards a game with 5 players averaging at lest 11.3 points a game. They dish out 21 assists and commit only 11 TO's a game with all this being the result of their top 6 scorers returning from last season. The fact they allow an average of just 60 points a game, makes them 1 of the best balanced teams in the country. Kansas is also 4-0 but needed a 22-0 run at the start of the 2nd half to beat Marquette as they were down by 9 at the half in their last game. They have 3 of their top 6 scorers from last season as they average 81 points and 36 boards a game but don't have the experience the Volunteers have. with just 1 senior and 2 freshmen in their top 5 scorers. These are 2 of the best teams in the country but I'll take the points with the better shooting and more physical Volunteers. Take Tennessee |

11-23-18 | James Madison v. Oakland -1.5 | 69-77 | Win | 100 | 6 h 6 m | Show | |
JAMES MADISON @ OAKLAND James Madison pretty much comes in with the same players as last season on a team that lost 15 of their first 19 games last season and 10 of their first 11 road games. They average 73 points a game but just 66 on the road hitting just 26% of their 3's. Their 4-1 record is deceiving as 2 wins were against Division lll schools. Two of their top 3 scorers are hitting below 41% from the floor with 1 of them just 31%, while they commit 17 TO's a game.Oakland is 2-2 at home while scoring at least 85 points in all 4 games as they average 79 points and dish out 20 assists a game. They hit 47% from the floor and 39% of their 3's with 3 double digit scorers led by Mais with a 26.5 average as he has hit over 61% of his floor shots while the team only commits 9 TO's a game. Take Oakland |

11-22-18 | Oklahoma State v. Memphis +2.5 | 84-64 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 27 m | Show | |
             OKLAHOMA STATE VS MEMPHIS The Cowboys are 2-1 but haven't played a top school yet and 1 win was against UTSA who is 1-5. They average 72 points and 36 boards a game. This won't be as easy as their other games. They lost 4 of their 5 top scorers and have the majority of their roster as freshman. They were outscored by 20 in the 2nd half of their only loss and were up by just 3 in their last game. Memphis on the other hand has 4 of their 5 top scorers returning and 3 are seniors. They average 87 points a game and grab 37 boards. They scored 109 points in their win over Yale and their 1 loss was against #22 LSU while holding the Tigers to only 27% of their 3's. It won't be a walkover but the Tigers should get it done with experience. Take Memphis |

11-21-18 | Duke -6.5 v. Gonzaga | 87-89 | Loss | -118 | 6 h 10 m | Show | |
    GONZAGA VS DUKE Gonzaga and Duke get the biggest game of the young season underway as they face off in the Maui Classic. Both teams are 5-0 and both were tested in their last games as the Zags came from behind while Duke withstood a big 2nd half run to win their respective games. Gonzaga has the experience as they have just 1 freshman in their top 7 scorers where Duke had 4 freshman in their starting 5 in their game against Auburn. Duke's wins are more impressive as they beat #2 ranked Kentucky and #8 ranked Auburn while Gozaga has 4 wins against teams with a combined 5-13 record and were down by 8 at the half against Arizona in their last game. With all things considered including Coach Krzyzewski and the fact that Duke is 18-0 all time in this Tornament, I'll gladly lay the points. Take Duke |

11-20-18 | Nebraska -2 v. Texas Tech | 52-70 | Loss | -107 | 5 h 2 m | Show | |
      TEXAS TECH VS NEBRASKA Texas Tech has won their first 4 games even though they are rebuilding after losing 5 of their 7 top scorers. They really haven't been challenged yet as they have been at least a 25 point favorite in 3 of their 4 games. Their last game was their toughest of the 4 when they took care of USC as they ran away in the 2nd half when they scored 55 points. They fell behind at the half by 9 points before their 2nd half run. They were helped at the foul line scoring 22 points to just 8 for USC but were outrebounded in the game. They face a very experienced Nebraska team who are also 4-0 and they are 4-0 ATS in their games including a convincing 80-57 win over Seton Hall. They held all 4 opponents to 62 points or less and 2 opponents below 40. They have 4 double digit scorers and 4 of their 5 top scorers are hitting above 51% of their shots averaging 90 points and 43 boards. This just may be a little to much to ask of the Red Raiders who are trying to find their way while the Huskers return their top 3 scorers from last season. Take Nebraska |

11-19-18 | Canisius v. Florida State -18 | 61-93 | Win | 100 | 5 h 48 m | Show | |
    CANISIUS @ FLORIDA STATE Canisius visits the Seminoles after suffering a 75-66 loss at home to Albany as a 9.5 point favorite. They haven't shot well hitting less than 42% of their shots and against Albany hit just 38% and at the foul line were 14 for 25 good for 56%. Their defense allowed both opponents to hit over 49% from the floor with Bucknell hitting over 53%. Sophomoe Molsen leads them in scoring with over 24 points a game and have only 1 other double digit scorer, and both of them hit less than 30% of their 3's. The Seminoles are 2-0 including a huge 21 point win over in state rival Florida. They are loaded with experience from last season with 5 seniors returning and are hitting over 48% from the floor and 41% of their 3's while their defense held Florida to less than 38% from the floor. Their size should cause all kinds of problems for Canisius not to mention a Canisius team playing poorly and trying to find some help for Moleson in the scoring department. Take Florida State |

 SOUTH CAROLINA VS PROVIDENCE The Gamecocks are 2-1 but haven't played well. They are shooting 43% from the floor while hitting just 28% of their 3's. They are being led by 2 freshmen in scoring but they are averaging 7 TO's a game combined. They have also been playing shorthanded as 3 players are out. They were beaten at home by Stony Brook and are 0-3 ATS in their first 3 games. Providence is 2-1 with their 1 loss to Witchita St. They are being led by Senior Diallo who has hit over 50% from the floor and his 3's while the team is hitting 49%. They are playing well and their experience should take them to another win over a Gamecock team that is struggling. Take Providence |

   PURDUE VS APPALACHIAN STATE The Boilermakers have just 1 of their top 5 scorers returning from last season but still have most of their role players from last season. They are 2-0 but struggled in their last game against Ball St before pulling away for a 9 point win, App St took a 6 point lead into the final minutes against Alabama before losing on the road by 8. They have a solid bunch of experienced players and should give a Purdue team all they can handle until they gel. Take Appalachian State |

   TOLEDO @ WRIGHT STATE Toledo has started the season 2-0 and had a big win on the road against Oakland in their last game. They bring back 4 of their 5 top scorers and added transfer Darrington from Tennessee who is averging 10 points and hitting 50% of his shots. The Rockets top 6 scorers are all hitting above 50 % and they average 93 points while dishing out 20 assists a game. Wright St lost a couple of key players and had offensive problems in their last game which they lost 74-53 as they hitv just 36% from the floor and a dismal 16% of their 3's. Their win came against a Western Catrolina team that lost almost all of their scorers from last season. This is a good spot for Toledo to steal a road win against a Wright St team looking for answers Take Toledo |

   WISCONSIN @ XAVIER Wisconsin is looking for their 2nd win as they visit Xavier who has to make up for most of their offense they lost from last season. They had players leave that were responsible for almost 70% of their scoring from last season and Wisconsin still has their top 5 scorers from last season. Where Xavier needs to come up with a new game plan , Wisconsin has the payers from last season to build on and have the experience to get a win from a new Xavier squad who allowed Evansville to hit 17 3 pointers in their last game. Take Wisconsin |

    OHIO STATS @ CINCINNATI The Buckeyes will vist the Bearcats for the first time in almost 100 years for their in state opening game. Both teams have lost key players but the Bearcats lost 3 of their top 4 scorers from last season and are playing a tough Big 10 Ohio State team that plays good defense. Cincinnati is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games and I expect that to continue with 2 teams that have to sort out a new strategy after losing players from last season. This should be a back and forth game with the winning team taking control in the last minutes of the game. Take Ohio State |

04-02-18 | Michigan +7 v. Villanova | 62-79 | Loss | -110 | 34 h 41 m | Show | |
                            MICHIGAN VS VILLANOVA No question the 2 best teams are playing for the title. Michigan has won 14 straight games while Villanova has won 10 straight. Michigan has beaten Purdue and Michigan St to win their Conference championship and then possibly the 4 hottest teams in the tournament including Loyola who had 1 of the best defenses in college basketball. They were down by double digits against Loyola in the last game with 11 minutes left in the game and just completely took over winning easily. They scored 47 2nd half points against a team that held 8 of their 9 previous opponents to 62 points or less. Villanova got here when they beat Kansas 95 -79 for the 4th time in 5 games scoring at least 81 points. But Michigan will be the toughest defense they have seen all year as they are ranked 8th in the country. This line is to big not to back possibly the hottest team in the tournament who also have the best defense. Take Michigan |

03-31-18 | Kansas v. Villanova -5 | 79-95 | Win | 100 | 127 h 42 m | Show | |
                          KANSAS VS VILLANOVA Kansas won their last game beating Duke in OT and was their 3rd straight game they scored at least 80 points. They have also allowed at least 76 points in 3 straight games winning all 3 by 4 points each.Their defense hadn't allowed more than 70 points in their previous 4 games that they also won. In their last 15 games before the tournament they won just 2 games when their opponent scored over 72 points and lost 4. It seems they need their opponents to score under 73 points if they want to win and that will be hard to do against a Villanova team that has won 9 straight games while scoring at least 81 points in 6 of them and over 90 in 3 of those. They have also won by double digits in 8 straight wins and have a defense that allowed an average of just 64 points over their last 5 games by holding those teams to only a 37% success rate from the floor and 27% of their 3's. They are playing some of their best basketball and that isn't good news for Kansas. Take Villanova |

                     LOYOLA-CHICAGO VS MICHIGAN Loyola has made quite a run and have a 14 game winning streak. They won 3 of their 4 games in the tournament by 4 points total and will no doubt have their toughest game when they play Michigan. They beat Miami and Tennessee to get here but this is where it stops. Michigan has a 13 game winning streak going for them and their wins are a lot more impressive as they beat maybe 3 of the hottest teams in the tournament when they defeated Houston, Florida St and Texas A&M. That was after taking apart their Big 10 rivals in their conference championship run. Their last 2 wins in that tournament were both by double digits and they took out Purdue who was healthy and Michigan St. The level of competition doesn't compare and they have a big advantage shooting 3's which I believe will be the difference in this game. Take Michigan |

They won by double digits in 5 of their last 7 wins but in their last 2, won by 4 points in each game.

In their last game they blew a 20 point lead before finally winning 80-76 and in their previous game led by 13 in the 2nd half before holding on for an 80-76 win. In both games they allowed their opponents to have huge 2nd halves as Seton Hall scored 53 2nd half points and Clemson scored 49. Duke is 10-4 in their last 14 games including their first 3 wins in the tournament. They average 85 points a game and improved their defense that has allowed 70 points or less to 10 of their last 12 opponents while prior had held teams below 70 points in no more than 2 straight games.

                       VILLANOVA VS TEXAS TECH Villanova has been rolling along and seems to be scoring at will as they have won 8 straight games and in 6 of them scored at least 81 points including their 3 tournament wins. All 3 were by double digits as were their last 6 wins. Their defense held 5 of those 8 teams below 70 points but in their last game allowed 78 points to West Virginia. Texas Tech will be the best defensive team they have faced since they beat Northern Iowa 64-50 back in November. The Red Raiders are the 15th ranked defense in the country allowing just 64.8 points a game and held their last 5 opponents below 70 points including their 3 tournament wins. Their last game was a double digit destruction of Purdue 78-65. All 3 teams they beat average at least 76 points a game and 2 average at least 80. They also held West Virginia to 66 points in their last meeting and they also average over 80 points a game. Their offense has played well over their last 5 games as they hit 46% of their shots and 38% of their 3's while the defense held opponents to an average of 65 points. Take Texas Tech |

In their 75-70 win over Xavier the story was at the foul line. Xavier hit 78%of their foul shots this season but made only 19 of 30 in the game which is only 63% while Florida St hit 19 of their 22 shots which is over 86%and during the season averaged just 68% and that was the difference in the game.   Michigan is 1 of the hottest teams in the tournament having won 12 straight games including the destruction of their Big 10 opponents in winning their conference championship. They held 9 of their last 10 opponents below 67 points and over their last 5 games the defense is allowing under 63 points on average.. They beat Montana who score 77 points a game, holding them to 47 in the 1st round and then won 64-63 over a hot Houston team so it's no surprise they have the 9th best defense in the country. They won by double digits in 8 of those 12 wins.including the 99-72 destruction of Texas A&M in their last game. Take Michigan |

They were held below their season average of 81 points a game in 11 of their last 14 games including their 1st and 2nd round wins in the tournament. They crushed CS Fullerton and then squeaked by butler 76-73 but lost their big man Haas with a fractured elbow. They have won 7 of their last 10 but are only 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games. Texas Tech had a rough ending to an excellent year as they had 5 of their 9 losses for the year in their last 7 games.

They have been held below their scoring average in 10 of their last 13 games and below 70 in 4 of their last 7 games including a season low of 60 points against Syracuse while their last 2 wins were against teams from weaker conferences. Syracuse was the last team to be selected to the tournament as they finished the season going 5-5 in their last 10 games but have an very tough defense that allowed less than 60 points to 5 of the last 6 opponents they beat including Arizona St (56 points) TCU (52 points) and Michigan St (53 points). All 3 of those teams averaged at least 80 points a game while Syracuse won all 3 games by 11 points total.

They average 84 points a game and allow 68. Only 4 teams scored at least 70 points in their conference games but in 13 non conference games 7 of the teams scored at least 70 points. Teams from either the SEC, Big 12, Pac 12 or the Big East were 5 of the 7 teams and 2 of their losses as well. The knock on them is their opponents in the WCC aren't as good as the major conferences. Florida beat them scoring over 100 points and Villanova scored 82 in another loss. Texas, Creighton and Washington also hit at least 70 points and now they play Florida St who is arguably from the toughest conference. the ACC. They were knocked out of the ACC conference championship by Louisville but were selected for the NCAA tournament where they won their first 2 games beating Missouri by 15 then knocking out #1 seed Xavier 75-70. They are the underdog on a neutral court and I will gladly take points with a team that beat Clemson and No Carolina as well as averaging over 80 points a game. Gonzaga's losses to Florida and Villanova were on neutral courts. Take Florida State |

They were 3-4 in their last 7 games but made it to the NCAA Tournament winning by 4 over Providence in the 1st round and then blew out the Tarheels by 21 in their last game as they were helped by a cold shooting No Carolina team that were 6 of 31 shooting 3's.

They have played a bunch of close games winning by 7 points or less in 5 of their last 10 wins including their 1st and 2nd round games they won by 3 points total. Even their losses are close as they lost by 5 points or less in their last 3 losses. They average 71 points a game but just over 61 over their last 5 games so they have very little room for mistakes. Nevada has won 11 of their last 14 games but none bigger than their 2nd round win as they came back from 22 points down with 11 minutes left in the game to beat Cincinnati 75-73 in their last game. They also beat Texas in their previous game, coming back from being 14 points down then winning in OT. They are a run and gun team averaging 83 points a game as they hit 47% of their shots and 40% of their 3's. They have 7 losses this year with 5 of them by 6 points or less. This is a classic offensive team vs defensive team and I'll be happy taking the points with an offense. Take Nevada |
