Stephen Nover's Big East Game of the Month
Georgetown vs St. John's
3* Georgetown +7.5 (-110)
I liked and respected Chris Mullin as a basketball player. But I don't think much of his coaching abilities. And I don't believe his St. John's team is good enough to be laying this many points to Georgetown. The Red Storm have yet to win a Big East game going 0-4. They are second-to-last in the conference in rebounding differential and have a weak perimeter defense. Georgetown averages nearly 81 points. St. John's averages 71.8 points, last in the conference. St. John's continues to be without injured Marcus LoVett and it has shown in bad home losses to DePaul and Providence. The Hoyas have covered all three of their lined road games this season. The line is high because the Hoyas are coming off a 90-66 home loss to Creighton. The good news, though, about that loss was that Georgetown's two best players, Jessie Govan and Markus Derrickson, played reduced mintues. Both should be fresh and fired-up for this matchup.
Stephen Nover's MAC Dominator
Ball State vs Ohio
Ohio -1 (-110)
Ohio is 7-1 at home this season and catches Ball State traveling out of Indiana for the first time since before Thanksgiving. Often times a team that had a long winning streak just end doesn't play well in their next game. Ball State is in that position. The Cardinals had their nine-game win streak snapped this past Saturday losing by 20 points to Buffalo at home. Buffalo exposed the Cardinals' inconsistent perimeter game and lack of size. Ohio can do the same. The Cardinals are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 road contests after playing three or more home games in a row. Ball State isn't expected to have starting guard Jontrell Walker either. He was supsended indefinitely on Saturday after being charged with domestic battery.
Stephen Nover's NHL Tuesday Top Ticket
Calgary (Flames) vs Minnesota (Wild)
Min Wild -114
The price is right here to get the Wild at home. Minnesota has been dominant at Xcel Energy Center going 11-1-1 during its last 13 games there, including winning four in a row. The Wild outscored their last four opponents at home by a combined 12 goals. The Wild have extra incentive after being humiliated by Colorado on the road this past Saturday, 7-2. The Flames are 0-2 versus the Wild this season. Minnesota won both games with Alex Stalock in net where he'll be tonight.
