MARQUETTE -10.5 over Villanova: The Golden eagles had a rough showing last time out as they lost by 17 points at home to a hot Vandy squad. Marquette was never in that game and were truly embarrassed on their home floor so I expect a much more spirited and focused effort this time out. Even with that rough showing they have still outscored their opponents by 21.9 ppg at home as they have averaged 81.6 ppg on 48.2% shooting, while allowing 59.7 ppg on 36.5% shooting there. Today they should get back on track vs a Villanova squad that isn't expected to much in the Big East this year. Villanova is 7-6 on the year, but 0-3 in their true road games and they have been outscored by 13.7 nppg in the 3 games, while losing each one by at least 11 points. Villanova has allowed 78.7 ppg on a whopping 47.2 % shooting in their road games this year and will not be able to stop this KEY TRENDS--- VILLANOVA is 3-16 ATS after failing to cover the spread in 2 or more consecutive games over the last 2 seasons, while MARQUETTE is 13-3 ATS versus teams who attempt 21 or more 3 point shots/game on the season over the last 3 seasons.
Southern Illinois/ Illinois State Over 124.5: Normally when ya think of the Salukis ya think defense, but that has not been the case this year as they have allowed 66.8 ppg overall, including 82.8 ppg in their last 4 games. They have played great defense at home this year (59.2 ppg), but they haven't really played anyone there yet and they will be taking on an Illinois State team that has been hot of late, putting up 70.8 ppg in their last 4 games. The Redbirds have allowed just 57.2 ppg on the year, while the Salukis have put up 62 ppg on the year and I do expect at least 60 form them here and that would be golden for us as I expect no less than 65 from the Redbirds. Illinois State's last 5 have averaged 127 ppg, while SIU's last 5 have averaged 147 ppg. Look for this game to fall somewhere between the two numbers.

Rutgers/ South Florida Over 118: The Bulls offense has not been great this year as they have averaged just 60 ppg overall, but at home (Tampa is a home game for them) they have averaged 69.9 ppg. Rutgers has averaged 70 ppg on 44.7 % shooting this year, while they have averaged 77.5 ppg on 47.7% shooting in their last 4 games. Those last 4 games for Rutgers have averaged 142.5 ppg. The Bulls have played good defense this year (58.9 ppg), and they have allowed 55 ppg at home, but this hot Rutgers offense should be able to crack this defense for more than that. South Florida home games have averaged 124.9 ppg and i do expect no less than 125 here. KEY TREND--- RUTGERS is 10-1 OVER in road games versus poor pressure defensive teams - forcing <=14 turnovers/game over the last 3 seasons. Average points scored 144.5 ppg.

Minnesota +7 Over MICHIGAN: This gophers team is really playing well this year as they stand at 12-2 and they haven't lost a beat with the loss of Mbakwe. The Gophers are coming off a loss at Illinois, but they did take them to OT in that game. Michigan is off to a fine start this year as well and they are 1-0 in the Big 10, but playing Minnesota is a whole lot different than playing Minnesota. I look for the Gophers to keep it close here.
