Saturday sweep...

1,000? BINGHAMTON - Let’s get the familiarities out of the way … you all know where Baltimore is located. But Binghamton is in upstate New York, a bit Southwest of Syracuse, near the border of Pennsylvania. I’ve been there several times, and trust me when I tell you this is a town dying for something like this. But that’s not why I’m taking the Bearcats; try looking at how well this team is playing right now.



It’s been 45 days since they’ve lost a game, and the team they lost to is this same Maryland, Baltimore County team that is in town to defend its league title. Only problem, Binghamton is the top-seeded team in the America East Championship, it comes in on a 10-game win streak, it beat the Retrievers by 20, 71-51, just 17 days ago, on Feb. 26 and though UMBC found its way to the final, it’s still 15-16 on the year and is the No. 6 seed.



The Retrievers boast a solid backcourt, but Binghamton plays an impressive brand of defense, and has been quite solid over its last six games, giving up an average of just 59.1 points per game. And the lowest output for UMBC in last 12 games … the 51 it scored here in Vestal, New York. It was the second-lowest output for the Retrievers this season. As for the frontcourt, one might believe UMBC has the edge with go-to guy Darryl Proctor, but this kid Reggie Fuller is the only forward in the Bearcats' four-guard lineup, and he played awfully well down the stretch. He comes in as the team's top rebounder, and that’s an advantage for us. Despite having first-team all-conference Proctor on the floor, the Retrievers have been out-rebounded by an average of three boards per game.



Listen, Binghamton hasn’t seen excitement like this in a long, long time. Maybe since the NHL’s Rangers had their farm team in town. And the Bearcats are 11-2 at home this season, including a five-game win streak at the Events Center. This game will be sold out, and the atmosphere is contagiously raucous. So honestly, I don’t care that UMBC was able to get past No. 3 seed Albany to defend its title … this is year of the Bing. For tonight, forget about being the minor-league town for the NHL’s Senators and the Major League-Mets, it’s all about the Bearcats taking care of business and dancing into this madness of March.



200? MEMPHIS - Scroll through these numbers … 49, 41, 47, 60, 42, 60, 63, 47, 47 and 37. Those are the last 10 games for Memphis, and how much it’s given up in each one of them, dating back to the regular season, as far back as Feb. 11. Case you’re wondering, the 37-point allowance? That was in a 63-37 win over Tulsa. The line that day: -14 points. And let’s be real here, with all the talk about who deserves the No. 1 seeds, and most loud mouths on television diarrhea dialogue spewing crap about the Big East, I’ve yet to hear anyone build up these Tigers.



I’ve been telling you for a month and a half about how much John Calipari wants nothing more than to get a top seed, because of how well he’s done when waltzing into the Big Dance with a No. 1 or 2 seed. And forget No. 2, and the memory of Derrick Rose – the Tigers are a deserving No. 1 seed after they win their fourth straight conference tournament crown. These two met in last year’s final, and the Tigers won by 26. Memphis has won the last nine meetings, while covering four of the last six. I am not going against the Tigers, who aren’t receiving any respect whatsoever by analysts around the nation … except me. Lay the chalk.

30 DIMER - MISSOURI TIGERS....10 DIMERS - TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS, & TEMPLE OWLS
20 DIMER - MISSOURI TIGERS - 6:00 PM



Time for the clock to strike midnight on Baylor's tournament. Give the Bears credit for springing 3 straight upsets, but Missouri is poised to grab the Big 12 tourney title for the first time since I can remember!



Mizzou has covered both of their tournament games as the favorite, and they also dismantled Baylor 89-72 as the 6 1/2-point favorite back on January 31st.



Missorui has also been lights out when installed as the favorite, covering 8 of their last 10 in that role.



G-Man is going to lay the points in this Big 12 title game, as the Tigers head into the Big Dance with a head of steam.



10 DIMER - TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS - 3:20 PM



I have a feeling both Auburn, and Tennesee have assured themselves of an invite to next week's fiesta, but I also have a feeling that aside from their head scratching loss to Alabama at home to end the regular season, the Volunteers are the call in today's contest.



Auburn couldn't be any hotter, winning 5 straight, and 9 of 10, while covering in ALL 10 of those games! Included is a 78-77 home upset of Tennessee, so as you can see, the Vols have a little added "revenge" motivation.



Tennessee is on a little run of their own, as they have now won 4 of their last 5, and of particular note in that string are solid road wins at South Carolina, and Florida.



G-Man riding the Volunteers in this one.



10 DIMER - TEMPLE OWLS - 6:00 PM



Hot vs. Hot today in Atlantic City, but I am siding with the "home" team in this one, as Temple figures to have some fans in the stands for this 40-minute clash.



The Owls won the season's lone meeting by 5 at the Polombo Center, and they have won 5 of the last 6, and 8 of the last 10 series showdowns overall.



The Iron Dukes have caught fire in the tourney, but they didn't exactly burn things up to close the regular season, losing 2 of 3, and 4 of their final 7.



Temple meanwhile, has won 9 of their last 11 to get to this point.



Gotta "give a hoot", and lay it with the Owls!

NCAAB: Ohio State Buckeyes at Michigan State Spartans - Under 126 -110
Game Date: 3/14/2009
Note: Michigan State games over the last few days of this season and the first game of the Big Ten Tournament are prime examples of why we see lower than usual scoring affairs during the time when wins mean the most. The Cream D Teams bring their Cream to the Top and that has what has happened to the Spartans the last 6 times they have been on the court. This squad is ranked #10 in defensive efficiency this year and they are displaying their talents in a big way with six consecutive victories. Over this span opponents are connecting on just 38% of their shots, and they are scoring just 56 points per contest. Much of scoring woes have been not due to anything more than a much lower pace being set. Over the course of the season, the Spartans have ranked at or near the Top 100 in this department, but the have slipped hard into more halfcourt of late and that is typical. Perhaps that is why they are 5-1 UNDER last 6, and low and behold and they are 9-1 UNDER last 10 as well. Trends like this mean something when they mean something. With Ohio State on the other side of the court today, it would be far fetched to expect anything other than what has been going on lately. The Buckeyes have the #300 Pace in the country out of 341 teams. That means they crawl up the court. Including yesterday, they are 10-3 UNDER when not playing on their homecourt. Their last 4 games have played UNDER the Total. Trends like this mean something when they mean something. Wait! I have already told you that. Ohio State is within the Top 25% of all D squads in the country. They too are peaking at this phase of their game. They too are limiting their opponents to less than good shot selection and many fewer points. They too are playing even a slower pace. Vegas has set this betting line low and it is falling from an open of 127.5. Not low enough. Play it down to 124 and feel good about hearing a lot of Doinks and not many put backs with both teams gobbling down defensive rebounds like a Buckeye Cheerleader gobbles down a Kilbasa.

4 Unit Play.Toronto +160 over Calgary

The Flames come into Toronto for their seventh road game in ten day's off a huge comeback win in Detroit. The Red Wings have a ton of talent but this is a team that in a span of a week gave up two eight goal games too teams that don't score much, not to take anything from Calgary but Kirpursoff was peppered with forty five shots and Detroit played a role in folding too. Toronto on the other hand finally had a blow up with Ron Wilson getting tossed in the final moments of their last game and then led to player's calling each other out and it is still not done there with head coach Ron Wilson saying "They're a little short on Talent'" now their is some truth to that but I also look at that last statement as a motivational tool. Simply put sometimes emotion is better then talent and I think the Leafs will have plenty of that tonight. Ton of value here.


2 Unit Play.Take Montreal -105 over New Jersey

Much talk about Brodeur tying Roy record tonight and with all that talk comes pressure. Montreal is off a home loss to the lowly Islanders and now gets a devils team that has beaten them in all three match ups this year. Looks like Kovalev won't go for Montreal but their was a stretch a couple weeks ago were they left him home on a two game road trip to wake him up and the team responded and played good hockey. The perception has shifted this line up and allowed us to get a Montreal team at a low price and I'm willing to make a small play against Brodeur and the Devils.


2 Unit Play.Take Over 6 in Carolina/Washington

Both teams coming off low scoring one goal games, both teams like the fast paced offense style which I think will happen tonight. These teams have meet four times this year with the total going over once, under twice and pushing on six the fourth time. I’m not one to say going over six holds value night in and night out in the NHL, but I have a feeling that this game is going to have two styles that are going to complement each other creating a lot scoring chances plus the fact that I'm laying even money has created value to me here.

900? Florida State Seminoles

Talk about one silly number today in the ACC as I not only see the Seminoles being about to cover today, but I would not be shocked if Florida State wins outright. You see for Florida State despite being challenged by Georgia Tech yesterday the Seminoles are very good thanks to their height in the paint and their outstand guard in Douglas, but thanks to their outstand defense they match up very well against North Carolina. I mean in just the past three series meetings it has been Florida State who has keep things close enough for the cash, including their three point loss to UNC this year as an 11 point underdog. Plus, how can you really go wrong backing the Seminoles today after they have an amazing 17-8-1 ATS record this season. Meanwhile, for North Carolina with just 2 over wins over their last 10 games and still without a healthy Ty Lawson there is no reason why they should be this big of a favorite today. Not when the Tar Heels are more concerned with next week’s tournament and not this weekend’s ACC championship. Flat out, while North Carolina just might pull out the win today it won’t be easy as Florida State behind their stout defense will challenge the Tar Heels today in Atlanta. With that take the Seminoles plus the points as they stay well inside the number.

All Florida State!

Ohio State vs. Michigan State
MICHIGAN STATE - Coming into today’s game against Ohio State, Michigan State is on an absolute tear, trying to position itself for a No. 1 seed in The Tournament.

Against the Buckeyes today, the Spartans will cruise to their seventh consecutive SU victory and will cover in their third consecutive game.

The Spartans come into this game having covered in six of their last nine games and are on a six-game SU winning streak, having beat their opponents by about 8 points per game, including Minnesota yesterday, whom Michigan State beat 64-56 as a 7 1/2 point favorite.

Today, Michigan State is installed as about a 7 1/2 point favorite against a Buckeyes team that has covered only three times in its last seven games and has gone only 1-2 ATS its last three games against Michigan State.

In that three-game stretch the Spartans are a perfect 3-0 SU, having beat Ohio State by an average of 9 points per game.

Consider, too, that Michigan State is 8-3-1 ATS its last 12 games played at neutral sites and has covered in 7 of its last 10 games against the Big Ten.

Today, the Spartans will cover once again against a conference opponent and strengthen that bid for a No. 1 seed in The Tournament.

Purdue at Illinois
Play: Purdue -3

We follow this conference very close and felt all year long that if the Boilers are at full strength, they might be the best team in the league. Michigan State obviously staked that claim this year, however we’re not so sure Purdue wouldn’t be at the top of the heap if Robbie Hummel and Chris Kramer. They are now back playing with a full deck (the Illini are not) and we feel they will handle Illinois easily today.Speaking of injuries, the Illini were dealt a huge blow a few days ago when defensive stopper and team leader, senior Chester Frazier, was ruled out of the Big Ten tourney with a hand injury. While his stats may not overwhelm anyone (6 PPG, 5 RPG and 5 APG), he is a glue guy that keeps his team together. He is also their best perimeter defender and his experience goes a long way. They didn’t need him yesterday vs. a Michigan team that played terribly after basically clinching an NCAA berth with a win the day before. His injury really thins out the Illini as they were forced to play five players more than 30 minutes each in last night’s win. Purdue is much deeper as they spread their minutes out last night with nine players playing double digit minutes and only one was on the court for 30+. That will have an affect today.These two already met twice this year with the Illini taking both. The Boilers were hoping to get another shot in this tourney at Illinois and they get it today. Don’t read too much into those first two games as one was way back in late December, a game in which Illinois won in overtime and PU made only 15 of their 27 free throws (55%) and shot just 38% from the field. Hummel and Kramer were both injured in that game and played but were nowhere near 100%. The other was @ Illinois and the Boilers were without Hummel. As Kramer stated after yesterday’s win, “It helps to have Rob and everybody back healthy. The other times we played them we weren’t at 100%.Purdue head coach Matt Painter challenged his team after losing their final two regular season games and playing poorly in both. He was upset with their offensive play and less than enamored with their usually very solid defense over the last week. The players responded with a great performance in an easy win over Penn State yesterday. That continues today with a little “extra” motivation and cruise past the Illini.
