Study Group: Saturday's Top 25 NCB Betting Notes

Check out our quick-hitting betting notes on Saturday’s ranked college basketball games:

(21) Butler at (25) VCU (-7.5)

Butler and Virginia Commonwealth look to keep their Atlantic 10 title chances alive when they meet Saturday. The Bulldogs have been held under 70 points in five straight games but are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games following an ATS loss.

(9) Louisville at (12) Syracuse (-1.5)

The Cardinals will try to remain within striking distance of first place when they play their final road game of the season against the Orange. Locked in a second-place tie with Marquette, Louisville suffered its last loss two weeks ago in the five-overtime thriller at Notre Dame, but has won four straight by double digits since. Syracuse fell from first place in the Big East into a tie for fourth with a loss last Saturday to Georgetown – snapping the nation’s longest home winning streak at 38. Syracuse has won three straight in the series, including a 70-68 victory at Louisville on Jan. 19

Alabama at (6) Florida (-17)

First place in the Southeastern Conference is on the line when Florida hosts Alabama Saturday. Alabama trails the Gators by a game and it can win the regular-season championship by winning its last three regular-season games. Florida expects to at full strength for the stretch run. Key reserves Will Yeguete (knee), Michael Frazier (concussion) and Casey Prather (head gash) are all expected to play Saturday. The Crimson Tide are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600.

(17) Memphis at Central Florida (+6)

Perhaps content with its 18-game winning streak and comfortable lead in Conference USA, No. 17 Memphis suffered its first setback in over three months earlier this week. Memphis entered Tuesday’s non-conference tilt against Xavier tied with Akron for the country’s longest active winning streak, but a listless first half caught up to the Tigers in a 64-62 loss. The Tigers will try to avoid two straight road losses against a Golden Knights team they defeated 93-71 on Feb. 13. Memphis is 5-0-1 ATS in the last six meetings.

West Virginia at (5) Kansas (-16)

Kansas is locked in a first-place tie with Kansas State in the Big 12 race and on the short list of schools in contention for a No. 1 seed in the upcoming NCAA tournament. The Jayhawks have posted five straight victories and coach Bill Self became the ninth-fastest coach to reach 500 career wins with an overtime victory at Iowa State on Monday. West Virginia has lost three straight games and is 1-4 ATS in its last five overall.

(20) Notre Dame at (22) Marquette (-6)

The race for one of the four double-byes in the Big East Tournament is wide open, making the Golden Eagles’ home tilt against the Fighting Irish a critical matchup. Marquette extended the country’s second-longest home winning streak to 24 games in Monday’s 74-71 victory over Syracuse. Notre Dame has won four of five after clubbing Cincinnati 62-41 on Sunday and is 4-1 against ranked opponents this season.

Texas at (18) Oklahoma State (-12.5)

Oklahoma State looks to complete a regular-season sweep of Texas when the Cowboys host the Longhorns. Oklahoma State won the first meeting 72-59 on Feb. 9 behind 23 points from freshman point guard Marcus Smart. The Cowboys have won nine of their last 10 games and are 13-2 at home. Texas is 3-2 since star point guard Myck Kabongo returned to the squad but is just 1-7 on the road. The Cowboys are 5-1 ATS in their last six Saturday games.

(19) Saint Louis at George Washington (+5)

The Billikens have won 10 straight, the longest active streak in the A-10 and the first double-digit win streak for the program since the 1993-94 team won its first 14 games. George Washington, meanwhile, has dropped two straight and four of five. During Saint Louis' 10-game win streak, the Billikens have led by at least 17 points in eight of those 10 contests. The Billikens are 5-0 ATS in their last five road games.

Wyoming at (14) New Mexico (-11.5)

New Mexico hopes to add a regular-season Mountain West title to its impressive resume when the Lobos host Wyoming. The Lobos can guarantee at least a share of the title with a win at The Pit, where they are 13-1 this season. The Cowboys, who have lost three straight, haven’t won at New Mexico since 2003. Wyoming is 0-6 ATS in its last six road games.

Portland at (2) Gonzaga (-26)

Gonzaga, which is 14-1 at home, has an 11-game win streak and is coming off a 70-65 victory at BYU on Thursday that gave the Bulldogs their 10th outright West Coast Conference regular-season title. The Bulldogs have taken the last 19 meetings and lead the conference in scoring with 77 points per game and are tops in scoring defense (58.2). Portland lost 71-49 at home to Gonzaga on Jan. 17.

(24) Akron at Buffalo (+6.5)

Akron has the nation's longest win streak but Buffalo has beaten the Zips three straight times at home. The Zips, playing as a ranked team for the first time in program history, survived an overtime game at Ohio to extend their streak to 19 games and build a two-game in the Mid-American East Division standings. The Bulls, who have lost back-to-back games by a combined three points, have never beaten a ranked opponent. The Zips are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning percentage below .400.

(7) Miami-Florida at (3) Duke (-6.5)

Miami can clinch its first outright conference title in program history on Saturday with a win at Duke, which is looking to avenge a 27-point loss to the Hurricanes on Jan. 23. The Hurricanes have won nine of their last 10 games since handing Duke its worst regular-season defeat in nearly 30 years. Duke senior forward Ryan Kelly remains out with a foot injury, and he’s not expected to return until next week. The Hurricanes are 5-0-1 ATS in the last six meetings at Duke.

(13) Kansas State at Baylor (-2)

Kansas State will try to inch closer to its first conference title since 1977 when it travels to Baylor for a Big 12 game. The Wildcats have won four straight since their latest loss to the Jayhawks on Feb. 11. While Baylor ended a three-game losing streak with a 65-62 victory Wednesday against West Virginia. The Wildcats are 4-0 ATS in their last four Saturday games.

Iowa at (1) Indiana (-14.5)

Indiana wasn’t overly concerned after being upset by Minnesota on Tuesday, but the loss likely guaranteed the top-ranked Hoosiers won’t overlook visiting Iowa. The Hoosiers have won two of their last three games against Iowa, including a 69-65 victory in Iowa City on Dec. 31 in the Big Ten opener for both teams. Indiana has held its last five opponents to less than 43 percent shooting from the floor and is 4-1 ATS in its last five games overall.

Rutgers at (8) Georgetown (-14.5)

Rutgers will try to win a road game against a top 10 opponent for the first time in school history when it travels to Georgetown. The Scarlet Knights have lost nine of 10, including back-to-back games since leading scorer Eli Carter was lost for the season. The Hoyas rallied to beat Connecticut in double overtime last time out to extend their win streak to 10 games. Georgetown is 9-1 ATS in its last 10 games overall.

(11) Arizona at UCLA (PICK)

UCLA and Arizona will try to remain in the hunt for a piece of the Pac-12 crown when they meet Saturday in Los Angeles. The Wildcats suffered a painful loss Wednesday at USC and sit tied for third with California, one-half game behind UCLA and a game behind Oregon. Across town Wednesday, the Bruins took care of business in overtime against visiting Arizona State for their third straight victory. UCLA last won a regular-season conference championship in 2007-08. UCLA’s leading scorer Shabazz Muhammad, who averages a team-high 18.3 points and leads the Pac-12 in 3-point shooting percentage at 44.9, has been dealing with pink eye recently, but is expected to play against Arizona. The Bruins are 1-5 ATS in their last six home games.

Santa Clara at (23) St. Mary’s (-11.5)

Santa Clara will travel to Saint Mary’s in the regular-season finale for both teams. The Gaels locked up second place in the West Coast Conference when No. 2 Gonzaga held on to beat BYU on Thursday. Santa Clara can still finish third with a victory against Saint Mary’s and a loss by BYU on Saturday at Loyola Marymount, though either result would be a major upset. Saint Mary’s leading scorer Matthew Dellavedova might have something to prove after matching his season-low with four points and committing six turnovers when these teams met Feb. 7(84-63 St. Mary’s win) at Santa Clara. The Broncos are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games vs. a team with a winning record.

In Low - Scoring Season, High - Scoring Conferences the Best Under Bet
by Jason Logan

College basketball scores are down all over the country, with NCAA Div. 1 programs averaging just under 67.5 points per game.

According to a recent story in USA Today, this NCAAB season is on pace to become the lowest-scoring since 1952. The biggest culprits are conferences like the Mid-Eastern Athletic (62.04) and Southwestern Athletic (62.84) while leagues like the ACC (69.9) and West Coast Conference (70.1) are at the high end of the scale.

Oddsmakers have done a good job balancing the daily totals, with all lined games going 1,164-1,184 over/under as of Friday. However, there are a few conferences which have been very kind to fans of the under during this low-scoring season.

Scoring average is for all games involving teams from that conference as of Feb. 27. Over/under total from all lined games involving a team from that conference.

Pac-12

Scoring average: 69.49 points per game
Over/under: 87-138-2 over/under (61 percent)

The Pac-12 is among the highest-scoring conferences in the land but has constantly stayed under the number. The Pac-12 has a smaller sample size than some of the other major conferences due to the fact that many of its non-conference games were without totals. But the proof has been in the pudding during conference play, with the league boasting a collecting 33-55-1 over/under mark against each other heading into the weekend.

West Coast Conference

Scoring average: 70.09 points per game
Over/under: 66-93-1 (58 percent)

The WCC is the highest-scoring conference in college basketball, but much like the Pac-12, finds most of its games finishing below the total. The under is 39-26 in conference play (60 percent) with teams like Gonzaga and St. Mary’s staying below the number most nights. In fact, following Thursday’s non-conference win over BYU, which played under the 145-point total, the Bulldogs are 1-9 over/under in their last 10 games.

SEC

Scoring average: 69.08 points per game
Over/under: 125-148-3 (54 percent)

The SEC has some high-scoring members, like Ole Miss (79.3), but also some programs, like Mississippi State (59.2), which have struggled to put the ball in the basket. The Southeastern Conference boasts a 44-54-1 over/under count in league play heading into the weekend. Programs like Alabama (5-17 over/under) and South Carolina (6-12 over/under) have kept under bettors happy in the SEC.

Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference

Scoring average: 66.61 points per game
Over/under: 77-92-1 (54 percent)

The MAAC has been a quiet gold mine for under bettors. The league’s overall betting stats are smaller than the major conferences because many of its games don't have lines available. The MAAC has gone 32-42 over/under in conference clashes with teams like Rider (4-14 over/under) and Canisius (5-12 over/under) among the best under plays in college basketball.

Note: The Lowest - Scoring Conferences – Mid-Eastern Athletic (62.04), Southwestern Athletic (62.84), America East (63.28) – have a combined over/under record of 15-17-2 in lined games this season.

DAVE ESSLER

CBB Saturday Cliff Notes

Louisville at Syracuse: Well, the Orange stock is probably at a season-low, even after getting Sutherland back. They'll be desperate to win and hopefully the top four and at least one bye in the Big East Tournament, while Louisville is just a game behind G-Town for first. Given that this is the Cardinals last road games and they've got two probably home wins left, this game means everything, up to and including NCAA Tournament seeding. 'Cuse have Depaul left and then a game at G-Town, so this is certainly a must-win for them as well, especially because they beat Louisville on the road earlier, which will add to their resume. Both teams are impressive offensive rebounding teams, and neither are great defensive rebounding teams, so their should be plenty of second chance points. That may give a slight edge, IMO, to Louisville who get to the line much more often and shoot well from the stripe. The one thing that would hold me back right now is that Louisville plays far more man than zone, and zone teams give Syracuse many more issues. See write up on Marquette game the other night. Both teams should be limited from three point land, so I could make a reasonable case for the under here, and I suspect at least the 1H as they probably will be quite deliberate, almost playing not to lose. Haven't seen the early line, but if I could catch a couple I do lean Louisville. Far LESS desperate and can play looser, which also may mean a 1H bet on them as well.

Arizona at UCLA: Huge battle for second in the Pac-12 and to stay within striking distance of Oregon. 'Cats loss at SoCal the other night dealt them a big blow going forward, while I can attribute the OT win over Arizona State as being a huge game for the Sun Devils as well as UCLA perhaps looking ahead a bit. So, it would seem that Arizona is simply playing better right now. This IS their last home game before playing the two Washington's, but I might not put quite as much stock in that as I usually do simply because aside from Larry Drew, UCLA has no other upper-classmen. However, they do have a one-and-done. Arizona is a reasonable road team, and with the experience here, which this time of year matters a lot. They've got the length, and have only this and a week of before playing ASU at home to conclude the regular season. I simply cannot take the Bruins here, simply because they are not a great rebounding team at either end, and Arizona is. It could also be tough to take the 'Cats, because they're going to want to shoot from deep, and defending the three is a strength of UCLA's defense. I do love ho often Arizona gets to the line, and all things being equal that would be the tipping point. However, this game will be played very up-tempo, and without turnovers, Arizona not defending the perimeter, I can see this game going over. I would caution you to bet it early if you agree, because that total should well be driven up from wherever it opens.

Colorado State at Boise State: Not a lot to play for in Conference, although Colorado State needs to stay firmly in second as they've got little or no hope of catching New Mexico. The only issue I have with CSU is that they don't yet have that signature road win, although they are easy to like being so fundamentally sound and perhaps one of the best rebounding teams in the nation. Boise also has a 20 point loss to try and avenge from earlier this season, but, although they've won four of five, they've been at home or at Fresno, so aside from beating UNLV at home (which most teams have done) they've feasted on lesser teams, lost to the good ones, and travel to Las Vegas next week. The question is really going to be whether or not Boise can play defense, and although I typically don't take too many road teams, I really think it's Colorado's game to lose. They have more experience and simply need it more, aside from the revenge factor, and are simply in a better spot, IMO.

Iowa State at Oklahoma: So, the Sooners have a total meltdown at Texas, for which myself and my clients were eternally grateful for. All the while Iowa State has their own meltdown and loses at home to Kansas. Bottom line here is which team is more fragile, IMO, and my gut reaction would be ISU simply because they're meltdown was at home and perhaps a bigger game. These teams are dead-tied in Conference play, but the Sooners have played the much tougher Big-12 SOS, so that would give me an immediate lean to Oklahoma, who has only been beaten at home by K-State and has two easy (probable) wins left on their schedule. While Iowa State may have shot their load winning their only Conference road game at Baylor, who we saw against WVU simply is not that good, or only as good as Pierre Jackson is. Lean to the Sooners, as I expected I would. ISU is simply going to have to make a ton of three's and contend with Oklahoma's inside game, and I am just not sure they're physically, or mentally, capable of sustaining that effort on the road for 40 minutes. I CAN see them coming out hot (1H bet, perhaps) but at game's end I think the Sooners find a way to win.

Miami at Duke: Well, another interesting game in that you have to wonder how much of Duke's loss at UVA was attributed to UVA or looking ahead to the 'Canes, who obliterated them in Miami, and another game my clients and I were thankful to have taken Miami. Of course Miami's stock was sickeningly high a couple of weeks ago, and now perhaps not so much. No doubt they've got the talent, but what I was telling one client is that I am just not sure they've got the big-game experience, especially on the road. They DO have experience, but being aged and understanding how to be in games of this magnitude are two different things. Having said that, I would lean Duke. It's possible, but not likely from what I have read, that Ryan Kelly will be back, so let's assume he's not. Duke hasn't lost at home all year, and with THAT much emotion based on their loss in South Beach, you have to think the win this one. Or do you, since winning and covering are two different things. That loss at Miami was also in a game that Reggie Johnson unexpectedly made his return, so there were just too many things working against the Blue Devils. Miami does have the ACC regular season title wrapped up, given their last two games, so they thing they're playing for here is perhaps a #1 seed. But, I keep going back to experience and coaching, and although there's a number to cover, if Duke gets the chance they will certainly go for style points, and although Miami has won, save VT, they've expended a ton of energy beating teams you'd expect them to beat easily. That may have something to do with the mounting pressure, and did I mention experience. Duke ML in a parlay for certain, I would think.

K-State at Baylor: The Bears won at WVU much to our chagrin, but in watching that game is was far more of a case of the Mountaineers losing it than Baylor winning it. K-State is tied with Kansas atop the Big-12 but they simply won't catch them. The upcoming schedule says so and the fact that they've lost twice to them does as well. Baylor is beatable at home, and in our WVU write up we alluded to their travel perhaps being an issue, and not they've got to go right back on the road Monday against Texas, who at home is not an easy out. K-State pounded the shit out of them two weeks ago, so there's that to consider. I may lean Baylor here. I do know that they are not the better team, but someone like Pierre Jackson is exactly the type of point guard that can give a Bruce Weber defense a bit of a problem. Between that and the fact that K-State REALLY hasn't beaten anyone other than the Sooners on the road, this could be a tougher game for them than they want. Baylor's got the massive size advantage, and K-State's defense can be had, especially given that the Bears will run far more than the Wildcats would prefer.

UFC on FUEL TV 8 betting: Stann Will Test Silva's Suspect Chin

UFC on FUEL TV 8: Brian Stann (-245) vs. Wanderlei Silva (+205)

Middleweight bombers Wanderlei Silva and Brian Stann move up to the light heavyweight division for a five-round fight that headlines UFC on FUEL TV 8. Both Silva and Stann are two of the most aggressive fighters in the UFC, so fans can expect nothing less than a knockout in this fight, which could possibly be Silva's last.

Stann (12-5), a former U.S. Marine, is one of the most powerful punchers in the UFC, and has knocked out opponents in 75 percent of his victories. Since making his UFC debut back in 2009, Stann has gone 6-4 with knockout wins over the notoriously hard-headed Chris Leben, veteran Alessio Sakara, and journeyman Jorge Santiago, as well as a submission victory over Mike Massenzio.

However, when the 32 year old has stepped up in competition he has faltered, losing to Chael Sonnen, Phil Davis, Michael Bisping, and a submission loss to Krzysztof Soszynski in his UFC debut also sticks out like a sore thumb. Keep in mind all the fighters he lost to were superior grapplers and, while Silva may be as well, he rarely uses his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in fights so Stann won't have to worry about the threat of a takedown as much.

For Stann to win this fight he has to keep it standing, he has to keep the distance, he has to be patient, and he has to go for the knockout. And considering the state of Silva's chin, it's very likely that's what will happen.

What more can you say about Silva (34-12-1, 1 No Contest)? Known as "The Axe Murderer," Silva is one of MMA's all-time great fighters and holds the record for the most wins in PRIDE FC with an incredible 22 wins, including victories over fighters like Dan Henderson, Kazushi Sakuraba and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson.

Coming back to Japan after over six years away, Silva says he's motivated and ready to put on a show just like he used to. The big problem is, he's a far cry from the fighter he once was.

Since returning to the UFC in 2007 (he fought for the promotion earlier in his career), Silva is 3-5 with wins over Cung Le, Bisping and Keith Jardine, but has suffered brutal knockout losses to Chris Leben and "Rampage" Jackson, as well as decision setbacks to Rich Franklin (twice) and Chuck Liddell.

Silva is still a dangerous fighter. With 24 career knockout victories, he is definitely one of the most dangerous men to step into the Octagon. And, even at the age of 36, he was still able to nearly finish Franklin in his last outing.

The only way Silva's going to pull off what would be a pretty big upset over Stann is to brawl with his opponent and try to land on his chin. But, considering he's been knocked out badly in four of his last seven fights, his own chin might not hold up in a slugfest against a younger, more powerful, and faster fighter like Stann.

L.A. Kings Back to Cup Form & Winning With Low Scoring

After a slow start, the Los Angeles Kings have shaken off the Stanley Cup hangover and are back to Cup form.

The Kings managed just three wins in their first 10 games but have since picked up victories in seven of their last eight, and seem to be back to their low-scoring ways that earned them Stanley Cup honors last season.

The main reason the Kings are back on track is because they’re playing good defensive hockey. Los Angeles hasn’t surrendered more than two goals in each of its last five contests (1-3-1 O/U) thanks in part to the dynamic goaltending duo of Jonathan Quick and Jonathan Bernier. Quick is riding a personal three-game win streak into Vancouver on Saturday after a shaky start and Bernier is the owner of a sparkling 1.64 GAA in five appearances.

Early injuries to defensemen Willie Mitchell and Matt Greene forced the Kings to do some shuffling on the back end and Anze Kopitar wasn’t at 100 percent out of the gate because of a knee injury he sustained playing overseas during the lockout. Mitchell and Greene remain out with injuries, but the Kings helped fill the gap by acquiring Keaton Ellerby from the Panthers in early February.

After Saturday’s tilt north of the border, the Kings return to L.A. for a five-game homestand. Los Angeles has an impressive 5-1-1 record at Staples Center, where it will clash with one of the best under bets in the league - the Nashville Predators (6-14-1 O/U) on Monday night.

The Kings had 9/1 odds to repeat as Stanley Cup champs at the beginning of the shortened season, but they’ve slid all the way to 22/1 in NHL futures at some books.

CBB WEEKEND LEAN SHEET

Alabama at Florida, Saturday, Mar. 2, 12:00 ET
These are the top two teams in the SEC with Florida still leading the way at 12-3 despite losing at Tennessee on Tuesday and Alabama one game back at 11-4 after suffocating Auburn 61-43 that same night, and points should be at a premium in this contest. The Gators are third in the country in defensive efficiency, sixth in effective field goal percentage allowed and eighth in two-point defense, which is important because Alabama is a poor three-point shooting team that gets most of its points inside. The Crimson Tide rank 28th in defensive efficiency and they have held 12 of their last 13 opponents below 60 points. The 'under' is 11-2 in the last 13 Alabama games when coming off of an 'under'.
LEAN: UNDER

Notre Dame at Marquette, Saturday, Mar. 2, 2:00 ET
The top of the Big East is quite surprising in the wake of Marquette knocking off Syracuse on Monday as Georgetown now leads the conference at 11-3 with the Golden Eagles only one-half game back at 11-4. The Eagles are now a perfect 15-0 here at home this season while winning by an average of nearly 11 points per game, and Marquette is up to 13th in the country in offensive efficiency. Notre Dame does not apply much pressure, ranking a dismal 339th in defensive turnover percentage, so the Golden Eagles should be able to run their sets basically unabated. This appears to be a tough matchup for a Fighting Irish defense ranked 115th in efficiency, especially at this venue. Marquette is 37-17-1 ATS in its last 55 conference games when coming off of a home game.
LEAN: MARQUETTE

Massachusetts at Xavier, Saturday, Mar. 2, 2:00 ET
The 16-11 Xavier Musketeers are playing much better lately as they followed up a narrow 75-71 loss to a VCU team that owns the most efficient offense in the conference with an upset of nationally ranked Memphis on Tuesday, snapping the Tigers' 18-game winning streak. Massachusetts has taken a step back since a 16-6 start, although the Minutemen did snap a three-game losing streak with a 76-66 win over Dayton to go to 17-9. UMass has had some issues defensively, allowing a disgusting 89.3 points per game during the three-game losing steak, and the Minutemen are now 111th nationally in defensive efficiency and 134th in effective field goal percentage allowed. Also the last head-to-head meeting went safely 'over' in an 80-73 Massachusetts win. The 'over' is 10-2 in the last 12 Xavier games when coming off of three ATS wins.

Nets at Bulls: What Bettors Need to Know

Brooklyn Nets at Chicago Bulls (-5, 177.5)

The Chicago Bulls could be severely shorthanded when they host the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday. Starters Richard Hamilton and Luol Deng are expected to be game-time decisions for Chicago, which capped off a dismal month of February with a 93-82 home victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday behind a monster performance from center Joakim Noah. It was only the fifth win in 13 games for the Bulls, who trail the Central Division-leading Indiana Pacers by 3 1/2 games.

Brooklyn dropped a 98-90 home decision to the Dallas Mavericks on Friday. It was the third loss in four games for the Nets, who hold a half-game edge on the Bulls for fifth place in the Eastern Conference. Brooklyn's chances of winning the Atlantic Division title have taken a major hit following a stretch in which it has dropped six of nine home games. The Nets trail division leader New York by three games and are five back of the Knicks in the loss column.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, YES (Brooklyn), WGN (Chicago)

ABOUT THE NETS (34-25): Guard Joe Johnson had turned in two of his best performances of the season before injuring his foot in a win at Milwaukee on Feb. 20. Johnson sat out three games before returning to the lineup Friday and, not surprisingly, struggled by scoring 11 points and committing four turnovers. Deron Williams had his third consecutive game with at least 24 points but also was plagued by the turnover bug, matching his season high with seven as Brooklyn committed 20 to negate a 44-31 rebounding edge.

ABOUT THE BULLS (33-25): Noah's dominant performance in Thursday's game was still the talk of Chicago a day later. He recorded the third triple-double of his career with some staggering numbers: 23 points, 21 rebounds and a career-high 11 blocked shots. Teammate Carlos Boozer referred to the totals as "legendary stuff" while coach Tom Thibodeau raved about both the performance and its impact. "When you get an effort like that that, it ignites and inspires your team," Thibodeau said. "It makes other guys do the same."

TRENDS:

* Nets are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games.
* Under is 4-1 in Nets’ last five overall.
* Road team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings.
* Bulls are 1-6 ATS in their last seven Saturday games.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. The teams have split two meetings this season that were decided by a total of five points.

2. Brooklyn handed Chicago one of its seven home losses last season.

3. Hamilton missed Thursday's game with back spasms while Deng had some teeth loosened when he was elbowed in the head.

Play: Wichita State

Nice matchup for Wichita St. Creighton is a soft kind of finesse team,that doesn't play much defense. While Wichita St likes to pound the boards, play physical along with good defense.


Miami Florida vs. Duke
Play: Over

When these 2 Teams met earlier this Season the Score went flying Over the Total in a Miami blowout of Duke. Expect this game to be played at Dukes pace as every game in their last 5 games has gone Over 135. Duke with revenge and off a loss to Virginia will score on offense, However I don't know if they will be able to slow down Miami.


Air Force vs. Fresno State
Play: Air Force

Air Force is a disciplined Team made of upperclassman and need this win for any Post season (NIT) Hopes. After Tonight's game Air Force 16-10 finishes the regular season @ SDST and at home vs NM. Fresno St is 3-11 S/U their last 14 games. Air Force gets the Win !

15* Butler/VCU ESPN 2 Early ANNIHILATOR on Butler +7

Any time the Butler Bulldogs are catching points they are certainly worth a look. That's especially the case here Saturday as they are getting 7 points against Virginia Commonwealth. This is a Butler team that continues to be underrated year in and year out, and that has certainly been the case again this season.

That's evident by the fact that Butler is 22-6 on the season and a very profitable 16-10 ATS. That includes a 9-4 SU & 9-4 ATS mark in road games this year. The Bulldogs have impressive outright wins over Marquette (72-71) as a 4-point dog, North Carolina (82-71) as an 8.5-point dog, Indiana (88-86) as an 11-point dog, St. Josephs (72-66) as a 2.5-point dog and Gonzaga (64-63) as a 2-point dog. They are 7-2 ATS as a dog this season.

VCU is one of the more overrated teams in the country. It also holds a 22-6 record like Butler, but it is just 8-13 ATS in all lined games this year. This is a quality Rams team but not one that should be favored by 7 points in what is a very evenly matched game. They have really been overvalued of late, going 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall.

Butler is 9-1 ATS versus teams who make 8 or more 3 point shots/game on the season over the last 3 seasons. VCU is 0-6 ATS in home games versus bad pressure defensive teams - forcing <=12 turnovers/game over the last 3 seasons. The Rams are 0-8 ATS when playing with 5 or 6 days rest over the last 3 seasons. The Rams are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record. These four trends combine for a 29-2 system backing the Bulldogs. Take Butler Saturday.

25* CBB BLOWOUT GAME OF THE YEAR on Arkansas -3

The Arkansas Razorbacks are squarely on the bubble in terms of the NCAA Tournament. This is a must-win game for them at home against Kentucky Saturday afternoon. The Razorbacks won't be lacking any motivation when they welcome the Wildcats to Bud Walton Arena today.

Arkansas is coming off back-to-back road losses to Florida and LSU heading into this contest. Those are two of the best teams in the SEC, and those road losses should come as no surprise considering how poorly it has played on the road. However, its home-court advantage has been huge this season.

The Razorbacks are a sensational 16-1 at home this season where they are outscoring opponents by 16.8 points/game. Their home wins include Vanderbilt (56-33), Tennessee (73-60), Florida (80-69) and Missouri (73-71). The Wildcats are just 4-5 in true road games this year.

Kentucky comes into this game way overvalued due to its 3-game winning streak. All three of those victories came at home over Vanderbilt (74-70), Missouri (OT) and Mississippi State. They were favored in all three contests as none of those wins were impressive. The Wildcats have lost their last two road games in blowout fashion to Florida (52-69) and Tennessee (58-88). They'll miss the presence of Nerlens Noel (out for season) on the road today.

Arkansas is 7-0 ATS in home games versus good rebounding teams - outrebounding opponents by 4+ per game after 15+games over the last 3 seasons. The Razorbacks are 11-2 ATS in home games off a road loss over the last 3 seasons. The Razorbacks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a S.U. loss. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Bet Arkansas Saturday.

15* CBB Saturday No-Doubt Rout on Evansville -4

The Evansville Purple Aces should be a much bigger home favorite over the Indiana State Sycamores Saturday. This is Senior Day for Evansville as it will be their last home game of the season. It obviously wants to win this one for its seniors.

Evansville has saved its best basketball for the end of the season. It is a perfect 4-0 ATS in its last 4 games overall with its only loss coming 68-71 as a 5-point home underdog to Creighton. It has reeled off three straight impressive victories since with a 79-62 home win over Illinois State as a 1-point dog, a 70-58 triumph at Wright State as a 1.5-point dog, and a 59-56 victory at Wichita State as an 11.5-point dog.

While the Purple Aces are rolling right now, the Sycamores have clearly packed it in. Indiana State has gone 0-6 ATS in its last 6 games overall. It has lost four of its last five games overall with its only win coming 65-64 at home against Iona as a 5-point favorite. It has losses ugly losses to Missouri State (65-67), Bradley (68-80) and Drake (56-67) during this stretch. It doesn't even want to be here Saturday.

Evansville is 13-3 at home this season where it is outscoring opponents by 9.6 points/game. Indiana State is just 4-8 in true road games this year. The Purple Aces want revenge from a 62-72 road loss at Indiana State on January 19th in their first meeting of the season. I like their chances of getting it at home this time around.

Indiana State is 1-10 ATS after failing to cover the spread in 3 or more consecutive games over the last 2 seasons. Evansville is 6-0 ATS in home games off a win against a conference rival over the last 2 seasons. The Purple Aces are 6-0 ATS after 3 straight games forcing opponent to commit 14 or less turnovers over the last 3 seasons. The Sycamores are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Purple Aces are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall. These five trends combine for a 32-1 system backing the homer team. Bet Evansville Saturday.

15* Missouri Valley GAME OF THE DAY on Missouri State -2

The Missouri State Bears will be highly motivated for a victory when they return home to face the Bradley Braves Saturday night. They are coming off an ugly 50-86 road loss at Illinois State last time out, and this will be their final regular season game tonight.

That means it will be Senior Day for the Bears. They certainly want to send out senior Anthony Downing a winner in his final home game ever. Downing is the team's best player as he leads them in points (13.7) and assists (2.7). He is the heart and soul of this team, and that's why I look for his teammates to go the extra mile to get him one final home win.

Missouri State also wants revenge from a 66-69 road loss at Bradley on January 19th as a 9-point underdog in their first meeting of the season. I like their chances of getting payback at home this time around considering the Braves are just 4-10 in all road games this year. They have some absolutely embarrassing road losses to UNI (53-84), Evansville (56-66), Wichita State (39-73), Creighton (58-75) and Illinois State (59-79). The Bears have won 12 of their last 15 home meetings with the Braves.

Bradley is 0-6 ATS when playing against a team with a losing record after 15 or more games over the last 2 seasons. The Braves are 0-6 ATS versus poor defensive teams - shooting pct defense of >=45% after 15+ games over the last 2 seasons. The Braves are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. The Bears are 6-0-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a SU loss of more than 20 points. These four trends combine for a perfect 23-0 system backing the Bears. Roll with Missouri State Saturday.

Game: Ottawa at Philadelphia (12:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Ottawa +150 (moneyline)
We have a matinee today in Philly, as the Ottawa Senators bring in their lofty 12-6-3 mark. But in spite of that, they are written off as a solid dog to the sub - .500 Flyers. Philadelphia just can't seem to get things going, as they have yet to win more than two games in a row on the season. Their recent woes are occuring in front of the net as they have allowed 18 to trickle through in their last five games at 3.6 per contest. That opens the door for a live dog here in Ottawa, winners of five of their last six, allowing just 9 goals in the process at 1.5 per contest. The Flyers' inconsistent season has them now at 1-5 when following a win in their last six. Back the dog in this one and go with Ottawa.

Indian Cowboy
4-Unit Play. #521. Take Tennessee -1.5 over Georgia (Saturday @ 1:45pm est).

This is a revenge game for Tennessee and its a good one for us to take here as they are at Georgia. Tennessee is on a strong ATS streak right now as this team has gone from 3-6 in conference play up to 9-6 in conference play currently. They have done a great job including winning 6 straight SEC games as Cuonzo Martin's team has undoubtedly progressed over the course of this year. This team lose to Georgia back on February 6th 68-62 and ever since that game this has what has triggered a solid ATS streak for this team. Since that loss, this team has gone on to beat South Carolina by 5 on the road, Vanderbilt by 12 on the road (similarly ranked to Georgia), Kentucky by 30 points at home, LSU by 10 points at home (and LSU is on a great ATS streak right now which is why we avoided playing Missouri despite Mizzou having revenge in that game), beating A&M in 4 overtimes, then not having a let down at home against the number one power ranking team in most power rankings and beating Florida. Sure, can this team have a let down, yes. But, I don't think so as if they would have had a let down they would have done it already. This is a revenge game for this team as well to boot and Georgia also has Kentucky on the docket in their next game. We're not laying too many points here and taking Tennessee on their hot run with revenge is a good opportunity for us to roll with as Martin will have his team motivated as a win here will continue to make a strong case for this team and their tournament bid aspirations which are not out of the question yet. If Tennessee beats Georgia, Auburn and Missouri, they will be 12-6 and a team that the committee will have to take a second look at given how well they have been playing finishing the season strong.

Leans: VCU -6.5, Missouri -13.5, Arkansas -3, Hawaii -4, Texas A&M -9, Texas +12.5,

Wunderdog Sports Free Pick

Game: Rutgers at Georgetown (9:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Rutgers +14 (-110)
The Georgetown Hoyas have been as good as anyone in the Big East, as they have caught fire late in the season, and have run off 10 straight wins. Georgetown is off of a huge physical, and emotional battle at UConn, where they came back from 7 down with 1:45 left in the second overtime to squeeze out a 1-point win. It will be very easy for this team to come out flat vs. a Rutgers team that won't get their juices flowing. Rutgers may be only 13-13 on the season, but this has been a competitive team in league play. Rutgers has suffered just one loss by more than 12 points in their last 14 conference tilts. Go with Rutgers.

Play: Point Spread: 16.0/-110 Penn State Pick Title: YBM-NCAAB 3* Added Play

I have been on Penn St. the last 2 games and i'm going to ride them again. Ever since a close loss at home to Iowa 4 games ago this team has been playing solid basketball. They are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games and actually beat Michigan this week. The argument can be made that this is a letdown spot for Penn St, but Minnesota is in the same boat. They beat Indiana this week so I question if you will get their best performance. Remember before the win against Indiana this team was playing very poorly. They are 4-8 in their last 12 ATS and 4-8 SU Head coach Tubby Smith is known for his teams struggling down the stretch and I think the win vs Indiana was a one time deal. 16 points is asking a lot with this Minnesota team and I think Penn St. is undervalued here.

Indian Cowboy's Picks For NBA Basketball

Decent 2-1 day yesterday as we were 1 bucket away from a 3-0 Sweep. Let's go 1-0 today and move to 3-1 Run over the last 2 days:

4-Unit Play. #505. Take Toronto Raptors +5.5 over Milwaukee Bucks (Saturday @ 8:35pm est).

The Raptors have fallen short the last few days and they come off a tough loss to the Pacers at home. But, you can't fault the Raptors too much in that contest given that they beat the Pacers in a buzzer beater in overtime and that was a revenge game for the Pacers. Now, look for the Raptors to still keep their playoff hopes alive as they still have 23 wins on the year and the very fact they are winning games is creating a buzz in Toronto as Rudy Gay is the new star of this team and he is here to stay. Sure, the Bucks have won back to back games including beating the Rockets on the road in a shootout and beating Dallas outright on the road. But, this team can struggle against defensive teams such as Toronto who can play defense when they need to such as losing to the Nets and Hawks at home and even beating the Sixers by just 2 points at home. Prior to these back to back wins the Bucks had lost 9 of their last 11 games. This an opportunity for us to indeed take an Underdog that can win Outright and I like the Raptors to hang tough here and stay within the spread if not win this game Outright on the road and bounce-back. The Raptors also have revenge from a loss to the Bucks earlier this season as well so this is a revenge game for them and don't be surprised if the Bucks have a bit of a let down at home today.


Indian Cowboy's Picks For NHL Hockey

1-0 Day Yesterday as we take the Over in the Columbus/Chicago game at +120. Let's make it 2-0 in the month of March with a winner today:

4-Unit Play. #14. Take Phoenix -115 over Anaheim (Saturday @ 8pm est).

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Robert Ferringo's Picks For NHL Hockey

4-Unit Pick Take #5 Washington (+1.20) over Winnipeg (3pm, Saturday, March 2nd)

The Caps hit a small bump on Wednesday night in Philadelphia losing 4-1 as the Flyers jumped all over Washington from the start. I wouldn't focus on that game, for Washington played division rival Carolina the night before at home winning 3-0 while the Flyers were highly motivated come off a Monday loss at home vs Toronto that they just looked flat in. Before that loss the Cap's were playing good hockey winning five of seven games and is clearly playing better hockey after getting off to a 2-9 start on the season. Winnipeg is playing their second straight home game after beating the Devils 3-1 in their first home game coming off a five game road trip where they won four of those five games. These two played earlier in the year in Washington with the Jets winning 4-2 as a +1.45 road dog, that however was a Washington team with a new coach and a new system with a short one week training camp to get together which just is nearly enough time. I think this Washington team is much better now then their were then and I think we will see a better effort today then in their last game. I made this price with Winnipeg at just a -1.15 home favorite and the fact that we can take that with the Cap's today is good enough value for me.

2-Unit Pick Take #14 Phoenix (-1.15) over Anaheim (8pm, Saturday, March 2nd)

The Ducks played and won at home last night beating Minnesota 3-2 and now play back to back against a Phoenix team coming off a loss to that same Minnesota team on Thursday night falling behind before coming up short with a rally. Look for Phoenix to start this one off strong in a game that features the Ducks offense vs a physical Phoenix defensive team. The Ducks should have rookie goalie Viktor Fasth who is off to a 9-1 start with a 2.41 goals against but in my opinion this is a really short sample and watching this guy I don think he will regress. I think the Coyotes bounce back against a Anaheim team that is a little overrated in my book.

2-Unit Pick Take #16 Vancouver (-1.20) over Los Angeles (10pm, Saturday, March 2nd)

After a very slow start the Kings have things going winning seven of the last eight games. Vancouver has lost their last two by a combined 12-5 score after losing 4-2 at home vs Phoenix as a -1.85 favorite. That however was the first game after a four road trip and the lost in Detroit was the last game of that road trip where they didn't look as bad as the 8-3 score would indicate. Vancouver added some grit by claiming Tom Sestito off waivers from Philadelphia which is something that I think the Canucks lack. This team has talent but have been Victims of the Kings lately being knocked out of last playoffs as a heavy favorite and already on the wrong end of a 3-2 loss in Los Angeles this year. This price open with Vancouver as -1.50 home favorite before the money poured in on a Los Angeles team because of their recent surge. I think we will see a max effort from Vancouver tonight and because of the early money that has come in on Kings gives us some good value.

2 Star Selection
Golden State (-1.5) over PHILADELPHIA (Rotation: 501)
02-Mar-13 04:05 PM Pacific
Golden State has dropped 3 straight games and the 76ers have lost 6 straight games, but it’s the Warriors that are likely to get the much needed win tonight. Golden State applies to a very good 83-25-3 ATS road bounce-back situation tonight and the Warriors are 39-18 ATS the night after a loss, including 23-4 ATS against a team with a losing record. I’ll take Golden State in a 2-Star Best Bet at -2 or better.
Play Strength: 2-Stars at -2 or better.
COLLEGE

2 Star Selection
Miami Florida (+8) over DUKE (Rotation: 603)
02-Mar-13 03:00 PM Pacific
Duke is not a better team than Miami and should not be favored by more than the home court advantage in this game. Using all games for each team would yield a prediction of Duke by 7 points but Duke isn't as good without star forward Ryan Kelly and Miami is much better with everyone healthy. The Hurricanes struggled in the first 3 games of the season without Durand Scott and also in an 8 game stretch in the middle of the season without big man Reggie Johnson, who is a very good rebounder and defender in the paint. Miami is 15-1 straight up and 11-4-1 ATS when both Scott and Johnson are both playing while Duke is 9-4 straight up and 6-7 ATS without Kelly. Miami hasn't been quite as good away from home but they've only lost that one game straight up and won at North Carolina (without Johnson) and at NC State. Duke has been better at home without Kelly but most of those were against bad teams and the Blue Devils are relatively worse against better teams while Miami is relatively better against good teams. My ratings favor Duke by only 3 1/2 points even when applying a stronger than normal home court advantage. Duke may have revenge for a 63-90 loss at Miami but that game reflects the fact that the Hurricanes are simply too good for Duke without Kelly in the lineup. Duke is just 17-21-2 ATS in ACC regular season revenge games and they failed to cover at home the only other time that they've been revenging a loss of 20 points or more in the last 23 years.I'll take Miami in a 2-Star Best Bet at +7 points or more.
Note: This game was released this morning when the line was +8. Miami is still a Best Bet at +7 or more.
2 Star Selection
DENVER (-8.5) over New Mexico State (Rotation: 608)
02-Mar-13 03:00 PM Pacific
Denver is 14-1 straight up and 13-2 ATS since freshman guard Jalen Love joined the starting lineup and the Pioneers' only loss was at New Mexico State. Denver has a habit of struggling on the road against good teams but the Pioneers should get revenge here at home, where they are 69-37-4 ATS the last 9 years. Denver sometimes lets down when hosting bad teams but they Pioneers are 53-15-2 ATS when hosting a team with a win percentage of .420 or higher, inclduing 37-8-2 ATS in conference games. New Mexico State gets F Tyrone Watson back from suspension but they Aggies weren't much worse without him and using New Mexico State's games with Watson and Denver's games with Love in the starting lineup would yield a prediction of Denver by 11 points using a standard home court advantage. Denver has a stronger than normal home court edge and New Mexico State has struggled on the road against average or better teams, going 1-5-1 ATS visiting such teams. I'll take Denver in a 2-Star Best Bet at -9 points or less.
Play Strength: 2-Stars at -9 or less.
2 Star Selection
Dartmouth (+17) over PRINCETON (Rotation: 611)
02-Mar-13 03:00 PM Pacific
Ivy League teams are just 41% ATS as double-digit home favorites since 1990 (as far back as my database goes) and Ivy favorites of 17 points or more are 47-81-1 ATS. The slower pace that Ivy League teams play at, as well as a similar level of athletes throughout the league, are factors that don't lend themselves to blowout wins. I can certainly see Princeton relaxing a bit today after beating first place Harvard to match them in the loss column. Princeton also already beat Dartmouth by 18 points on the road, which gives them another reason to overlook this game, and the Big Green have been pretty pesky as a double-digit dog in Ivy play with 8 straight spread wins in that role. My ratings favor Princeton by only 15 1/2 points in this game and I'll take Dartmouth in a 2-Star Best Bet at +16 points or more.
Play Strength: 2-Stars at +16 or more.
3 Star Selection
FLORIDA ATLANTIC (+1.5) over Florida International (Rotation: 616)
02-Mar-13 04:00 PM Pacific
Florida Atlantic lost by 19 points at FIU earlier this season but the Owls apply to a very good 61-17 ATS last home game revenge situation and my ratings favor FAU by 1 point, which is where the line opened. We have a good situation and the line move has given us value. I'll take Florida Atlantic in a 2-Star Best Bet at +1 or more and for 2-Stars at pick or -1.
Play Strength: 3-Stars at +1 or more, 2-Stars at pick or -1.
2 Star Selection
Iowa (+14) over INDIANA (Rotation: 635)
02-Mar-13 04:30 PM Pacific
Iowa nearly beat Indiana at home despite making just 3 of 17 3-point shots and the Hawkeyes are in a good spot to keep this game competitive too. Iowa has only had one bad loss in Big 10 play, a 28 point defeat at Michigan back in early January. All the rest of Iowa's conference losses have been competitive, as the Hawkeyes have 6 Big 10 losses by 4 points or less and their other conference loss was a 9 point loss as a 10 point dog at Ohio State. Iowa qualifies in a very good 119-33-3 ATS big road underdog situation that is in part based on Indiana's loss at Minnesota and the line on this game is fair (I get Indiana by 13.6 points using conference games only). I'll take Iowa in a 2-Star Best Bet at +13 points or more and for 3-Stars at +15 or more.
Play Strength: 2-Stars at +13 or more, 3-Stars at +15 or more.
3 Star Selection
Missouri Kansas City (UMKC) (+1) over IUPUI (Rotation: 713)
02-Mar-13 04:30 PM Pacific
IUPUI has now lost 14 straight games and the Jaguars were either favored or a pick in 4 of those losses, including two straight Best Bets wins going against them in the past week. IUPUI has covered in only 1 of 11 games since losing star John Hart to injury and UMKC is actually an underrated team with all their starters playing. I can understand the line on this game based on the entire season but my ratings based on current personnel favor UMKC by 5 1/2 points and I'll take UMKC in a 3-Star Best Bet at +1 or more and for 2-Stars from pick to -2.
Play Strength: 3-Stars at pick or dog, 2-Stars up to -2.

Scott Spreitzer " Tap-Out Underdog " GOY


Game: Cal Davis at Fullerton State Mar 2 2013 9:00PM
Prediction: Cal Davis
Reason: I'm taking the points with UC-Davis on Saturday night. The favored CS-Fullerton Titans are an absolute mess and I expect things to get worse. Leading scorer D.J. Seeley injured his toe last time out and may not play a single minute. Even if he does give it a go, it's said he's far from 100% healthy. Then there's Sammy Yeager, averaging almost 16 ppg. The 6'4 forward from Modesto has missed some game action of late due to a back injury. He may not be in the lineup again tonight - and he's less than 100% if he does make an appearance. If both of these players miss tonight's game the Titans will be down to four scholarship players, thanks to a few more who're already out for the season. CSUF would then have just one player, Kwame Vaughn, averaging in double figures in scoring. It also looks like the school is searching for someone else to coach the team with interim coach Andy Newman likely getting his walking papers at season's end. There's a lot of talk coming out of Fullerton on a lot of issues regarding this team and none of it is positive. UC-Davis lost by 7 points to Fullerton on January 24. But the Aggies have played much better basketball of late. UC-Davis has won four of their last five SU and ATS. They're one of the top shooting teams in the nation, making over 47% of their shots, including 39.9% from behind the arc, which is the 9th most accurate mark in college basketball. Arizona State transfer Corey Hawkins has been on fire over the last several weeks. Let's also not forget the Titans come-from-behind win over UC-Davis was fueled by the aforementioned Seeley's 32 points on 11 of 16 shooting, including 5 of 8 from behind the arc. Fullerton made 55% of their shots in the January win, including a 12 of 23 performance from the 3-point line. Since then, the Titans have won just 3 of 9 games. Meanwhile, the Aggies have made nearly 50% of their shots over the last five games, including 44% of their 3-pointers. During the same span, the messy Titans have made just 40.8% of their shots, while allowing their opponents to make 47.7% of their FGA. And the Titans are getting out-rebounded by more than 9 rpg over their last five contests. The Titans are on a 1-8 ATS slide at home, while UC-Davis is on a 4-0 ATS run in Big West play. Finally, the underdog in this series is on a perfect 9-0, 100% winning run. I'm betting on more of the same. I'm grabbing the points with UC-Davis on Saturday night. Thanks! GL! Scott Spreitzer.
