Saturday's College Hoops Action

30 Dime college basketball selection on BYU minus the points at Colorado State. The Cougars are a 6- to 6½-point road chalk in this coatest, and I fully expect this number to go up before it comes down. But if you want to wait to place your wager just in case the odds drop, make sure that you track the line moves and don’t helsitate to get your action in if you see the number start to go up.





15 Dime college basketball selection on Illinois as a slight home underdog aglinst Ohio State. The Illini are catching between 2 and 3 points in this contest, so be sure to shop around and get the best number available.








BYU





Before we get to the reasons why I like the Cougars, let’s first focus on their opponent’s results to date.





Now, does Colorado State deserve credit for Wednesday’s 78-63 beat-down of UNLV in Las Vegas – winning outright as a 13-point road underdog? Of course (even though the Rebels were minus their senior leader/top scorer, who sat out with an injury).





Does Colorado State deserve credit for A) winning nine of its last 11 games, and B) covering the number in all four of its Mountain West games so far, not to mention 10 of its last 12 contests? Of course (even though the Rams were favored in five of their last seven outings and have faced the likes of TCU, Wyoming, Hampton, Dominican, San Francisco, Southern Miss, Ole Miss, Appalachian State and Northern Colorado since Dec. 20 – not one of which could hold BYU’s jock!).





If we agree on all that, then we must all agree on this, too: Colorado has faced three truly decent oppoaents so far: Kansas, UNLV and New Mexico. We already noted that the Rams knocked off UNLV. The other two games? 76-55 loss at Kansas (barely covering as a 21½-point road underdog) and 68-61 loss at New Mexico (barely covering as an 8½-point road underdog).





So, yes, Colorado State is 3-0 ATS (including two narrow coves) against its three toughest opponents of the season. Well, don’t you think that fact – along with the Rams’ ongoing 7-2 ATS run – has registered with the geniuses in Vegas? I would answer “definitely.”





At the same time, wouldn’t you agree that BYU has had Colorado State’s number recently? Seriously, check out these results (from the most recent – last year’s final meeting – going backward):





BYU 92, CSU 70


BYU 91, CSU 47


BYU 94, CUS 60


BYU 86, CUS 60


BYU 89, CSU 62


BYU 79, CSU 67


BYU 76, CSU 67





That’s not just seven wins in a row; that’s seven “you don’t belong on the same court as us” wins by margins of 22, 44, 34, 26, 27, 14, 19 and 11 points! And that includes three wins in Fort Collins of 22, 26 and 14.





Finally, if you believe in trends, hone in on these two:





1) BYU, which began the week with an 83-67 win over Air Force but failed to cash as a 20½-point home favorite, has now alternated spread-covers in its first four conference games, its last seven overall and 10 of its last 11. Therefore, the Cougars are due to colver a number … and a cheap number at that!





2) BYU is an astounding 17-5 ATS as a road favorite over the last two seasons!





Make it 18-5 ATS, as Jimmer Fredette (the leading scorer in the nation) and BYU put Colorado State in its place with a dominating 15-point win!








ILLINOIS





Ohio State – one three remaining undefeated teams in the nation – has been playing with fire for a couple of weeks now. And today, the 19-0 Buckeyes go down and go down hard, courtesy of 23rd-ranked (and ultra-talented) Illinois.





The Illini showed me a lot in Tuesday’s 71-62 victory over No. 17 Michigan State, not just the win itself or the fact they shot 53.2 percent from the field, but the way they completely stifled the Spartans’ offense down the stretch (Michigan State scored just 25 second-half points and didn’t get a point in the final 2½ minutes of the game).





Illinois now owns comfortable home wins over three quality Big Ten foes: Wisconsin (69-61), Northwestern (88-63) and Michigan State, cashing in all three contests. True, top-ranked Ohio State will provide the Illini with their stiffest test of the season. And true, Ohio State swept Illinois in three games last year (including a 7-point overtime win in the Big Ten tournament) and is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings. That said – and despite their perfect record – the Buckeyes have had their molents of vulnerability this season – and recently, too.





Prior to Wednesday’s 70-48 rout of Iowa as a 20-point home favorite – and Iowa is awful – Ohio State barely survived five straight tightly contested games against the aforementioned awful Hawkeyes (73-68 road win), Minnesota (67-64 home win), Michigan (68-64 road win) and Penn State (69-66 home win). I’ll do the math for you: That’s four conference wins by a total of 15 points, all against mediocre teams.





Illinois will have some issues with Ohio State’s front-court size, but the Illini (10-0 at home, shooting 53 percent) will be able to overcome that deficiency with their speedy backcourt and a strong perimeter game on both ends of the court (Illinois ranks third in the nation in three-point shooting at 42.7 percent and 23rd in three-point defense at 29.4 percent).





Throw in a raucous crowd at Assembly Hall in Champaign – plus Ohio State’s free-throw struggles on the road (67 percent) – and I’m looking for a Illinois to get this one by at least six points.

3* Illinois

Get ready for the most important basketball game Ohio State has played all season long. Outside of the contest at Purdue, this will be the toughest challenge for young phenom Jared Sullinger to date. I've been very clear on TiSB and the Betting Dork that Sullinger has the absolute best footwork in college basketball and he's a fantastic player, but I love what Illinois' bigs bring to the table on both sides of the floor. Aside from leading the NCAA in effective height (+5.7), Illinois has the longest frontcourt in college basketball according to KenPom.com. Their trees aren't the toughest --- Tisdale is such a flake --- but it's the SIZE that cannot be discounted.

Tiz (7-1, 250), Davis (6-9, 255) and freshman Meyers Leonard (7-0, 240 freshman who isn't afraid to get DIRTY) are three outstanding athletes that can not only alter offensive looks with their length and wingspans, but they can do what no bigs have done to Sullinger all year long: run him down the floor in transition. Bruce Weber has been preaching "attack, attack, attack #0" in practice all week long in order to throw various looks at JJ on defense. The young Buckeye grabs hella rebounds, yes, but he's far from a great on-ball defender. Combine a slap happy defender with home court calls and the most hostile environment he's seen all season long and may very well be on the right end of some foul trouble. Illinois isn't the toughest team in the paint, but their sheer athleticism and versatility will be something that Sullinger has yet to deal with all season long.

4* MISSISSIPPI STATE over GEORGIA

Last Sunday we cashed an easy 5* ticket behind Mississippi State, nothing how Rick Stansbury’s team was going to be among the toughest for the oddsmakers to deal with in the weeks ahead. This is more of the same – a marketplace that is anchored down by mathematical power ratings is filled with gibberish that does not apply to the current team in any way.

Yes, if you lose to East Tennessee State and Florida Atlantic at home, and get trounced by 31 vs. Virginia Tech, 26 vs. Washington State and 22 vs. St. Mary’s, you should be around this line range. But those games carry no meaning - Dee Bost and Renardo Sidney were not together on the court yet. Bost did not play at all before SEC play, and Sidney only 25 minutes, and while there was an ugly clunker vs. Alabama in the league opener, since then they have shattered the spread by 26 points in a pair of wins and covers. Bost has scored 48 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and dished out 21 assists in his three games since returning, while Sidney produced 39 points and 11 rebounds in 58 mintues of the last two. Add them to holdover veterans Ravern Johnson and Kodi Augustus, and you have a team that is tournament-worthy once again, although those early defeats may wreck their resume. And in terms of toughness for this kind of setting, note that the Bost-Augustus-Johnson trio has led them to an 8-4 ATS tally as SEC road dogs the past three seasons.

Georgia has excellent front-line talent, but the Bulldogs are going to do a lot of “grinding” this season, lacking the depth to build margins vs. this class. They have been out-scored by 28 points in losing all three meetings vs. State the past two seasons, and this line does not reflect at all the true balance of power between the programs.
