Study Group: Saturday's Top 25 NCB Betting Notes

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

(9) Florida at Kentucky (+6, 131)

Florida visits Kentucky on Saturday having clinching the No. 1 seed in the SEC tournament with a 66-40 win over Vanderbilt on Wednesday. The Gators earned their fourth outright league title and second in the last three years, finishing a perfect 15-0 at home this season. Fourteen of their SEC victories came by double-digits, including a 69-52 rout of the Wildcats on Feb. 12. Kentucky is coming off back-to-back losses after falling to Georgia 72-62 on Thursday, but the Gators are only 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall.

UAB at (20) Memphis (-15.5, 143)

Memphis is chasing history as it heads into its regular-season finale Saturday afternoon against UAB. The Tigers are one win away from becoming the fifth Conference USA team to go undefeated in conference play, and the fourth Memphis team to post a perfect league record. A win guarantees UAB the No. 5 seed in the C-USA tournament, and would end a 12-game losing streak against the Tigers. Memphis is 5-0 ATS in its last five Saturday games.

(16) Syracuse at (5) Georgetown (-1, 121)

The Hoyas lost a chance to clinch at least a share of the league title when they fell at Villanova on Wednesday, snapping an 11-game winning streak and falling into a tie with Louisville and Marquette, both of whom will play later Saturday. At the same time, Syracuse was in the process of ending its three-game slide with a 78-57 win over DePaul. During its three-game skid, all against ranked opponents, the Orange shot 39.5 percent from the floor and had more turnovers than assists. The Hoyas are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games.

La Salle at (15) Saint Louis (-7.5, 131)

The Explorers could still garner a share of the A-10 title and the No. 1 tourney seed with a win over the Billikens and a VCU loss at Temple on Sunday, which would create a three-way tie for first place. Saint Louis comes in off a 77-66 overtime loss at Xavier on Wednesday, which snapped the Billikens' 11-game win and ATS streak. The road team is 7-0-1 ATS in the last eight meetings.

(10) Kansas State at (14) Oklahoma State (-6, 133)

A loss at Iowa State on Wednesday ended Oklahoma State's chance of capturing a piece of the Big 12 regular-season title. Now, locked into third place, the Cowboys look to play spoiler when they host Kansas State. Kansas State is tied with rival Kansas for the conference lead. The Wildcats have won six straight and will clinch at least a share of their first conference title since 1977 with a win at Gallagher-Iba Arena. The Cowboys are 0-4-1 ATS in their last five home games.

(17) Marquette at St. John’s (+5.5, 127)

Marquette can claim at least a share of the Big East regular-season title for the first time when it visits sliding St. John's. Marquette had already secured the coveted double-bye for the upcoming Big East tournament before it knocked off Rutgers 60-54 on Tuesday. At the same time, the Red Storm were bottoming out with a 26-point loss to the Fighting Irish that featured a late fight involving swingman Sir'Dominic Pointer. The sophomore, who leads St. John's in assists and steals, is suspended for the finale. The Red Storm have lost three straight and five of six.

(22) Pittsburgh at DePaul (+12, 135)

Pittsburgh routed DePaul 93-55 in their first matchup Jan. 26. The Blue Demons have won only one game in the last two months. Since that victory, a 75-69 result over Rutgers on Feb. 16, DePaul has logged five losses by an average of 17.6 points. Most recently, the Blue Demons dropped a 78-57 contest to the Orange on Wednesday. The Blue Demons haven’t held an opponent under 69 points since Dec. 22 and are 0-5 ATS in their last five games overall.

Clemson at (7) Miami-Florida (-13, 113)

The Hurricanes must beat visiting Clemson on Saturday to clinch the ACC regular-season title for the first time since joining the conference for the 2004-05 season. Miami has lost three of its last four games, including two straight, after a 14-game win streak and is coming off a 71-69 loss at home to Georgia Tech on Wednesday. Miami has taken the last two meetings, including 45-43 at Clemson on Feb. 17. The Tigers are 0-4 ATS in their last four games overall.

(25) Oregon at Utah (+4, 125)

The Ducks get another chance to wrap up their first regular-season title since 2002 with a victory at Utah on Saturday. Oregon, UCLA and California entered the final week of the regular season with a chance to claim the title, but only the Ducks continue to control their own destiny. If they stumble, UCLA wins the title with a victory at Washington on Saturday. The Utes are No. 1 in the Pac-12 in scoring defense at 62.9 points while the Ducks are second at 63.3. Utah is 4-0 ATS in its last four home games.

(24) Notre Dame at (6) Louisville (-11.5, 122)

These teams engaged in the longest game in Big East regular-season history on Feb. 9 – a 104-101 five-overtime thriller in which Notre Dame overcame an eight-point deficit in the final 44 seconds of regulation and rallied in three of the first four overtime periods before prevailing. Eight of the last 13 meetings have been decided in overtime, including the last three. The over is 8-1 in the last nine meetings.

Arizona State at (18) Arizona (-12, 134)

The Wildcats have won 29 of the last 37 meetings, including 71-54 on Jan. 19 in Tempe. Arizona State, which is 4-5 on the road and sixth in the Pac-12, looks to snap a three-game losing streak. The last five meetings at McKale Center have been decided by an average of 8.6 points and the Sun Devils are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall.

(3) Kansas at Baylor (+4.5, 142)

Kansas will know before it tips off at Baylor on Saturday whether it has a chance to win the Big 12 Conference title outright. The Jayhawks enter the weekend tied with Kansas State and their in-state rivals play at Oklahoma State earlier Saturday afternoon. Baylor has lost five of six to cripple its NCAA Tournament hopes but a win against Kansas and some wins at the conference tournament could help fix its resume. Kansas has held 18 opponents, including nine Big 12 opponents, to 60 points or fewer. The Jayhawks are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games overall.

(11) New Mexico at Air Force (+3, 128)

New Mexico is on pace to shoot its lowest field-goal percentage in 51 years. The Lobos are hitting on 41.8 percent of their shots this season, making half their attempts or better in five games. They’ve excelled on defense, however, and have done an exceptional job avoiding turnovers, especially lately. During its current six-game winning streak, New Mexico is allowing an average of 57.3 points, while limiting the opposition to 37.3 percent from the floor. The Falcons are 8-0 ATS in their last eight home games.

(4) Duke at North Carolina (-1.5, 153)

Duke needs a win and Miami to also lose to Clemson on Saturday to grab a share of its 23rd regular-season title. The Blue Devils have won six of the last eight meetings, including their 73-68 victory in February. North Carolina has won each of its last seven home games by double figures and is 7-0 ATS in its last seven overall.

Must - Win Weekend: Which NCAAB finales carry the most weight?

It’s the 11th hour for plenty of college basketball teams as the schedule heads into its final weekend.

Those programs with a weak NCAA resume are out for one more convincing win while others are jockeying for position before the conference tournament begins. Here’s a look at which weekend matchup carry the most weight:

Atlantic 10

La Salle Explorers at Saint Louis Billikens – The Explorers are on the tournament bubble and win over No. 15 SLU might do the trick. La Salle is also hoping to hold on to the No. 3 seed in the A-10.

UMass Minutemen at Rhode Island Rams – Massachusetts is another A-10 team on the fence and a win over the lowly Rams won’t do much to change that. The Minutemen are trying to stay among the top 8 in the conference.

VCU Rams at Temple Owls – Temple can boost its NCAA hopes with a victory over No. 19 VCU. The Owls are also in the hunt for the top 4 seed in the A-10 tournament and a first-round bye.

ACC

Clemson Tigers at Miami Hurricanes – Miami missed out on a chance at clinching its first outright ACC season crown vs. Georgia Tech Wednesday, losing its second straight game. Can the Canes avoid a late-season collapse versus Clemson?

Duke Blue Devils at North Carolina Tar Heels – This is a big game for both Tobacco Road rivals. Duke is trying to steal a share of the ACC title from Miami while UNC desperately needs a win over a ranked opponent to get off the bubble.

Maryland Terrapins at Virginia Cavaliers – Virginia can feel safe better about its NCAA destiny with a win over Maryland, which may have had its bubble burst in a loss to UNC Wednesday.

Big Ten

Nebraska Cornhuskers at Iowa Hawkeyes – Iowa has won five of its last seven and has a foot in the door when it comes to the NCAA conversation. A loss to Nebraska would likely slam the door on that foot.

Illinois Fighting Illini at Ohio State Buckeyes – The battle for No. 2 – or even a four-team logjam atop the standings – starts in Columbus Sunday. Ohio State need some help from rivals Michigan.

Indiana Hoosiers at Michigan Wolverines – The Hoosiers can win the Big Ten season title – and possibly a No. 1 NCAA seed - Sunday or Michigan can spread the love over four different teams, barring outside upsets.

Northwestern Wildcats at Michigan State Spartans – MSU came up big with a win over Wisconsin and can win a share of the Big Ten title with a victory over Northwestern and some help from the Wolverines.

Big East

Syracuse Orange at Georgetown Hoyas - With a win, the Hoyas earn a share of the Big East season crown. This is the final regular season game between these two bitter rivals, with SU moving to the ACC next season.

Marquette Golden Eagles at St. John’s Red Storm – Marquette can at least win a share of the Big East title with a victory over the Johnnies.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Louisville Cardinals – Louisville is also in the hunt for a piece of the Big East pie. The Cardinals will get a share of the conference crown if they win, and could win outright if GT and MU go down.

Providence Friars at UConn Huskies – The Friars have quietly become the hottest team in the Big East, winning seven of their last eight and propping themselves on the NCAA bubble heading into the weekend.

Big 12

Kansas State Wildcats at Oklahoma State Cowboys – KSU is currently tied with KU for first in the conference and will win at least a share of the conference crown with a win.

Iowa State Cyclones at West Virginia Mountaineers – ISU may have moved off the bubble with a huge win over OSU Wednesday. However, a letdown loss to WVU could erase that momentum.

Kansas Jayhawks at Baylor Bears – Kansas it trying to hang on to a share of the Big 12 title while Baylor has one last chance to impress the selection committee with a marquee win over KU.

Oklahoma Sooners at TCU Horned Frogs – The Sooners are another bubble team with everything to lose if they come out flat versus TCU. OU is holding on to No. 4 in the Big 12 heading into the weekend.

C-USA

Central Florida Knights at Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles – Southern Miss is on the bubble heading into the final game of the season. Tuesday’s loss to Marshall may have been the nail in the coffin though.

MWC

Fresno State Bulldogs at UNLV Runnin’ Rebels – UNLV is trying to hold on to the No. 2 spot in the MWC and win its sixth in a row.

San Diego State Aztecs at Boise State Broncos – San Diego State is clutching to a No. 4 seed and a first-round bye while Boise State is on the NCAA bubble, needing another convincing MWC win.

Nevada Wolf Pack at Colorado State Rams – CSU is knotted with UNLV for the second spot in the conference and needs a win over Nevada to avoid sliding back.

Pac-12

Oregon Ducks at Utah Utes – Oregon crumbled under the pressure with a chance to clinch the Pac-12 title in Colorado and now must win out to at least get a share of the conference crown.

UCLA Bruins at Washington Huskies – Thanks to Oregon’s loss, UCLA is alive in the Pac-12 hunt and needs to win in Washington in order to stake a claim of the conference crown.

Arizona State Sun Devils at Arizona Wildcats – The Wildcats are trying to stay among the top 4 seeds in the conference while the Sun Devils are gasping for their NCAA lives. A win over No. 18 Arizona would give them a chance.

SEC

Florida Gators at Kentucky Wildcats – This is UK’s last chance to dance. After a loss at UGA Thursday, the defending champs need a win over UF and hope the selection committee takes pity on them.

Mississippi Rebels at LSU Tigers – Ole Miss is on the NCAA bubble while also locked in a four-team battle for No. 2 in the SEC.

Georgia Bulldogs at Alabama Crimson Tide – Bama is very bubbly heading into the season finale with a dangerous UGA team. The Tide are one of those four programs jammed into the No. 2 spot right now.

Missouri Tigers at Tennessee Volunteers – The Vols need another marquee win to secure a spot in the field of 68 while the Tigers are trying to break away from the pack and grab the No. 2 seed in the SEC tournament.

Syracuse at Georgetown: What Bettors Need to Know

Syracuse Orange at Georgetown Hoyas (-1, 121)

With all the turmoil surrounding Big East basketball, it seems fitting there is a regular-season finale between Syracuse and Georgetown with a title on the line. The fifth-ranked Hoyas can clinch at least a share of the crown and a possible No. 1 seed in the conference tournament when they host the 16th-ranked Orange on Saturday in the 89th meeting between the rivals, their last before Syracuse joins the ACC and Georgetown helps establish the new Big East with the rest of the Catholic 7.

The Hoyas lost a chance to clinch at least a share of the league title when they fell at Villanova on Wednesday, snapping an 11-game winning streak and falling into a tie with Louisville and Marquette, both of whom will play later Saturday. At the same time, Syracuse was in the process of ending its three-game slide with a 78-57 win over DePaul. The Orange enter in a three-way tie for fourth with Notre Dame and Pittsburgh, only one of which will earn the coveted two-day bye at the conference tournament in Madison Square Garden.

TV: 12 p.m. ET, ESPN.

ABOUT SYRACUSE (23-7, 11-6 Big East): During their three-game skid, all against ranked opponents, the Orange shot 39.5 percent from the floor and had more turnovers than assists. In bouncing back against the last-place Blue Demons, some of the offensive numbers remained ugly, or even worse. However, Syracuse's defense stepped up, forcing 18 turnovers, recording 12 blocks and posting a 47-38 advantage on the glass. James Southerland made all 11 of his free throws en route to 22 points, C.J. Fair added 16 and Brandon Triche chipped in 15.

ABOUT GEORGETOWN (23-5, 13-4): Star forward Otto Porter Jr. led the Hoyas with 17 points in the loss to Villanova. However, he was just 2-for-9 from 3-point range and contributed to the sloppy performance from Georgetown, which had a season-high 22 turnovers. Even more glaring was the massive discrepancy at the free-throw line, where the Hoyas had 34 fewer attempts (42-8) than the Wildcats. Head coach John Thompson III indicated his team was not lacking in motivation. "We needed this game, also," he told reporters. "We're playing for a championship. That's something just as important. We were desperate coming into this game, also."

TRENDS:

* Orange are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games.
* Hoyas are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games.
* Under is 4-0 in Orange’s last four vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
* Road team is 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings.

TIP-INS:

1. According to Elias, the last time a top-5 team took at least 30 fewer free throws than its opponent was March 1, 2008, when Texas Tech took 43 foul shots, compared to 13 for No. 5 Texas.

2. Due to two wire-to-wire efforts and a double-overtime game, Porter is averaging 42 minutes over his last four games. He had 33 of Georgetown's 57 points in a win at Syracuse on Feb. 23.

3. Triche has missed 12 straight 3-pointers.

Duke at UNC: What Bettors Need to Know

Duke Blue Devils at North Carolina Tar Heels (-1.5, 153)

Ryan Kelly was still rehabbing a foot injury while P.J. Hairston was making his debut as a starter the last time North Carolina played Duke on Feb. 13. When these bitter rivals meet again in Chapel Hill to close out the regular season Saturday, Kelly and Hairston will likely square off against each other in a game that still might have ACC regular-season title implications for the fourth-ranked Blue Devils.

While Duke needs a win and Miami to also lose to Clemson on Saturday to grab a share of its 23rd regular-season title, one of the main reasons the Blue Devils are even in a position to contend is because of Kelly’s dramatic return against the Hurricanes one week ago. The Tar Heels are 6-1 – with the only loss coming against Duke – since Hairston became a regular starter prior to the first showdown with Duke. The Blue Devils have won six of the last eight meetings, including their 73-68 victory in February.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, ESPN

ABOUT DUKE (26-4, 13-4 ACC): Seth Curry scored 20 points in Tuesday’s home win over Virginia Tech, extending the Blue Devils’ streak of at least one player scoring at least 20 to six games. Four different players have eclipsed the 20-point mark over that stretch, with Curry doing so four times. With 18 more points, he will reach 2,000 for his career. Mason Plumlee, the only starter not to reach the 20-point threshold over the last six games, is five blocks away from becoming the third Duke player (joining Shelden Williams and Mike Gminski) to top 1,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 200 blocks in a career.

ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA (22-8, 12-5): The insertion of Hairston (13.6 points) into the starting lineup has led a slight increase in field goal percentage during conference play (plus-3.9), but the biggest change has come beyond the arc. The Tar Heels are shooting 42.3 percent from 3-point range since his promotion, a seven-percent increase from the team’s first 10 ACC games. Hairston is also averaging 17.5 points over that span, but the biggest beneficiary may be Reggie Bullock (14.4 points, 6.4 rebounds). The 6-7 junior has recorded three double-doubles in that time – matching the same number he managed over his first 90 career games.

TRENDS:

* Tar Heels are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games overall.
* Under is 5-0 in Tar Heels’ last five overall.
* Road team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings.
* Blue Devils are 5-1 ATS in their last six trips to UNC.

TIP-INS:

1. Neither team has won both regular-season meetings in the same season since North Carolina swept in the 2008-09 season.

2. Duke is 17-0 with Kelly in the lineup this season and has won 89.2 percent of its games when he plays – the third-highest winning percentage for a player in school history.

3. North Carolina has won each of its last seven home games by double figures.

UNC seeks 7th straight win hosting Duke Saturday

by Robert Livingstone

Dean E. Smith Center – Chapel Hill, NC
Tip-off: Saturday, 9:00 p.m. ET
Line: Even

Tobacco Road rivals No. 3 Duke and North Carolina will finish the regular season against each other at the Dean Dome in Chapel Hill Saturday night.

Since Duke beat the Tar Heels 73-68 at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Feb. 13, North Carolina has gone 6-0 SU and ATS. One of the key changes began in that game against the Blue Devils, going with a smaller lineup and starting P.J. Hairston, who is averaging 17.6 PPG in the past seven games since getting inserted into the starting lineup. Duke, however, is also improved from the first meeting with PF Ryan Kelly back in the fold after missing a 12-game stretch, including the win against the Tar Heels. Kelly has 27.0 PPG and 8.0 RPG in two games since returning from his injury. When these two teams met at the Dean Dome last year, the Blue Devils won on a last-second 3-pointer from the hands of Austin Rivers. Duke is 6-2 SU (4-4 ATS) in the past eight meetings between these rivals, but this year’s Blue Devils have really struggled on the road (4-4 SU, 2-6 ATS) and have yet to beat a team in the top-half of the ACC on the road. The Tar Heels meanwhile have dominated in the Dean Dome this year, going 14-1 SU and 10-3 ATS.

Senior PF Mason Plumlee (17.0 PPG, 10.2 RPG) led the Blue Devils past the Tar Heels at Cameron, finishing with 18 points and 11 boards. Plumlee, who is hitting 59% of his field goals this season, has struggled lately, averaging just 12.0 PPG and 5.7 RPG over his past three contests. The other star of that game for Duke was sophomore PG Quinn Cook (12.6 PPG, 5.3 APG), who added 18 points and four steals. SG Seth Curry (17.0 PPG), struggled, however, with just 11 points on 3-of-10 shooting, getting frustrated by North Carolina’s great size with their wing players. The one player who really needs to step up his play for Duke is freshman SG Rasheed Sulaimon (11.7 PPG), who is averaging just 5.3 PPG over his past three games. The biggest difference on this team though, between the first meeting is the return of PF Ryan Kelly (15.0 PPG, 5.7 RPG) who has been one of the best 3-point shooters in the nation, making two treys per game at a 53.1% clip. He also adds 1.6 BPG and should challenge the Tar Heels defensively with his size.

Hairston broke out in that first game against Duke, starting his second game of the season, going for 23 points and was one of three Tar Heels to add eight boards. North Carolina owned the offensive glass (18 offensive rebounds) against Duke, something that will be harder to replicate with Kelly back in action. PF James Michael McAdoo (14.6 PPG, 7.8 RPG) was one of the players to grab eight rebounds in that game, but scored just nine points. McAdoo has 15.6 PPG in his past five games. He and Reggie Bullock (14.4 PPG, 6.4 RPG) lead the Tar Heels offense. Bullock is averaging 18.3 PPG and 11.0 RPG in his past four games, incredible rebounding stats for a 6-foot-7 wing player. In the backcourt, UNC has two guards who have put the Tar Heels second in the nation in assists at 17.6 APG. SG Dexter Strickland (7.9 PPG, 4.1 APG) leads the ACC in assist-to-turnover ratio (3.39), coughing it up just 1.2 times per game. Freshman PG Marcus Paige (7.8 PPG, 4.5 APG) is also good at distributing the ball (1.85 Ast/TO ratio) and has come into his own with this new lineup. But he committed eight turnovers in Wednesday win at Maryland, something he can ill-afford to do Saturday against the No. 3 team in the country.

No. 5 Georgetown hosts No. 17 Syracuse on Saturday
by Robert Livingstone

Verizon Center – Washington, D.C.
Tip-off: Saturday, 12:00 p.m. ET
Line: Georgetown -2.5

Two long-time rivals meet for the final time in the regular season as Big East foes when No. 17 Syracuse visits the Verizon Center looking to give No. 5 Georgetown its second consecutive loss.

Before losing to Villanova this week, the Hoyas had won 11 in a row SU (9-1-1 ATS). That included a 57-46 drubbing against the Orange, in which Syracuse was favored by eight points at the Carrier Dome. Syracuse is coming off a thumping of DePaul, winning SU and ATS, snapping a three-game skid of ATS and SU losses. Although Georgetown is 4-1 ATS in its past five meetings against Syracuse, the Orange have a knack for winning in the nation's capital, where they are 3-1 ATS in their past four trips. But the Hoyas are 15-1 SU (6-6 ATS) at home this season and 13-4 SU (12-4-1 ATS) in Big East play. Syracuse is just 5-4 SU (4-5 ATS) on the road, but appeared to get their groove back in their last game against DePaul and are 11-8 ATS coming off an SU win this season.

The Orange shot a pitiful 17-of-50 (34%) against the Hoyas in their first meeting. PG Michael Carter-Williams (12.4 PPG, 7.8 APG) went just 2-of-6 from the field in that game, scoring just seven points and adding five dimes. SF C.J. Fair (14.6 PPG, 7.3 RPG) led the Orange with 13 points against the Hoyas and has been hot lately, averaging 18.3 PPG in his past three contests. PF James Southerland (14.1 PPG), Jim Boeheim’s super-sub, added 13 points in the game and is coming off a 22-point, 10-rebound performance against DePaul. He is also a dangerous shooter, hitting 2.4 threes per game. SG Brandon Triche (14.3 PPG) is Syracuse’s other top scorer, though he must improve off his 4-of-13 performance when Georgetown lost to the Orange.

Otto Porter (16.6 PPG, 7.4 RPG), a National Player of the Year hopeful, carried the Hoyas past Syracuse, dropping 33 points on 12-of-19 shooting, including 5-of-10 from deep. He also added eight boards and five steals and was the only Hoyas player to make it into double-digits for the game. He has continued to be red-hot, averaging 25.0 PPG in his past four contests. The 6-foot-8 forward is hitting 44.4% of his threes this year and 50.3% of his field goals. The other key Georgetown player to watch out for is guard Markel Starks (12.2 PPG, 2.8 APG), who is also a threat to stretch the Syracuse 2-3 zone, hitting 41% threes this year. He and PF Nate Lubick (7.6 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 3.0 APG) lead Georgetown’s ball distribution. Lubick went just 2-of-7 from the field in that first meeting but has been efficient since then, hitting 8-of-11 FG in the past three games.

Desperate Kentucky hosts No. 11 Florida on Saturday
by Brian Graham

Tip-off: Saturday, 12:00 p.m. ET
Line: Florida -6.5

Slumping Kentucky is in need of a big win, and has a great opportunity to get one on Saturday afternoon when No. 11 Florida pays a visit.

The Gators are 14-3 SU (10-7 ATS) in conference play this season, but have lost two straight road games at Missouri and Tennessee. They have also been a terrible wager since the start of February, going 3-7 ATS in those 10 games. Kentucky has started March with two straight double-digit losses, falling 73-60 at Arkansas and 72-62 at Georgia. The Wildcats also lost big at Florida on Feb. 12, dropping a 69-52 decision and seeing their best player, C Nerlens Noel, go down with a torn ACL that night. Despite the recent struggles, Kentucky is 12-2 SU (8-5-1 ATS) in the past 14 home meetings with Florida, pounding them 78-58 last season.

Florida scores 72.5 PPG for the season, but has just 62.7 PPG over the past three games and 59.0 PPG in the past two road tilts. However, the Gators defense remains one of the stingiest in the land, giving up a paltry 53.0 PPG, including limiting its two March opponents to 46.0 PPG (wins versus Alabama and Vanderbilt). The Gators are 7-4 (SU and ATS) on the road this season, and have been a great wager after an ATS win at 10-3 ATS (77%). The dangerous thing about this team is their great depth, as eight players log at least 16 MPG and all eight of those players score at least 5.6 PPG. Guards Kenny Boynton (12.6 PPG, 3.0 APG) and Mike Rosario (12.6 PPG) lead the team in scoring and both are nearly automatic from the foul line at 83% FT and 85% FT, respectively. Six-foot-10 PF Erik Murphy (12.3 PPG, 5.0 RPG) also shoots well from the charity stripe (82% FT), but his greatest value is that he knocks down 47% of his threes. C Patric Young (10.5 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 1.8 BPG) controls the paint and takes high-percentage shots at 62% FG. And the offense flows very well through PG Scottie Wilbekin (9.1 PPG, 5.2 APG), who is an excellent floor general with a robust 2.52 Ast/TO ratio. All five of these players scored at least nine points in the win over Kentucky, with Young grabbing 11 boards and Wilbekin dishing out eight assists. Top reserve, swingman Casey Prather (6.6 PPG, 3.6 RPG), also played well against Kentucky with 12 points on 6-of-8 shooting.

Kentucky's offense is even more potent than Florida's, scoring 74.3 PPG, but the team has been held to 61.0 PPG on 41.0% FG and 9-of-40 threes (22.5%) during its two-game losing skid. The defense holds teams to 64.9 PPG this season, but has allowed 70+ points in five of the six games since Noel got hurt. Like Florida, the Wildcats have great offensive balance with six players tallying at least 9.4 PPG. SG Archie Goodwin (14.0 PPG, 4.5 RPG) leads the team in scoring, but makes just 44% FG and 28% threes. PF Alex Poythress (11.7 PPG, 6.0 RPG) is much more accurate from the field (59% FG), and also leads the club with a 43.3% clip from three-point range. SF Kyle Wiltjer (10.8 PPG, 4.3 RPG) provides accurate long-range shooting (38.2% threes) despite his 43% FG mark. PG Ryan Harrow (10.2 PPG, 3.0 APG) runs the point with a decent 1.93 Ast/TO ratio. SG Julius Mays (9.4 PPG) is the top reserve, while C Willie Cauley-Stein (8.5 PPG, 6.1 RPG) has been getting more minutes since Noel went down, averaging an excellent 12.4 PPG and 9.2 RPG in his past five contests. Cauley-Stein and Mays were the only Wildcats to score in double-figures in Gainesville last month, with each of them scoring exactly 10 points. Goodwin scored eight points with four turnovers, Poythress scored five points on a horrible 1-of-9 shooting, Wiltjer had seven points in 23 minutes, and Harrow was held scoreless (0-for-3 FG) in 19 minutes in the loss to Florida

Flyers at Bruins: What Bettors Need to Know

Philadelphia Flyers at Boston Bruins (-175, 5.5)

After thwarting a potential three-game winless streak with a victory in their last outing, the Boston Bruins will look to prevent the visiting Philadelphia Flyers from doing the same at their own expense on Saturday afternoon. Tyler Seguin collected two goals and an assist as Boston posted a 4-2 triumph over Original Six rival Toronto on Thursday. Seguin torched the Flyers last season with three goals and as many assists as the Bruins won three of four meetings.

Philadelphia saw its three-goal lead evaporate on Thursday en route to a 5-4 loss to Keystone State rival Pittsburgh. The Flyers struggled to reach the NHL's version of .500 by winning five of seven, only to lose their last two contests to a pair of Atlantic Division foes. The road hasn't been kind for coach Peter Laviolette's club, which is just 4-9-0 away from the City of Brotherly Love.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, NHL Network, NHL Network-Canada, CSN (Philadelphia), NESN (Boston)

ABOUT THE FLYERS (11-13-1): Ilya Bryzgalov has been a workhorse this season for Philadelphia, but the Russian netminder made an early exit against the Penguins. Bryzgalov, who has started 23 of 25 games this season, has fared well in Beantown - posting a 3-0-2 record with a 1.96 goals-against average in regular-season tilts. Jakub Voracek has fueled the Flyers with nine goals and as many assists in his last nine contests. Voracek, who has just three points in seven career games versus Boston, leads Philadelphia with 12 goals and shares top honors in assists (17) with captain Claude Giroux.

ABOUT THE BRUINS (15-3-3): Boston's schedule picks up on Saturday as coach Claude Julien's club begins a stretch of six games in nine days. A key contest against Northeast Division rival Ottawa is slated for Monday, while the first of two games versus Eastern Conference power Pittsburgh also is in the stretch. Anton Khudobin turned aside 25 shots against Toronto, but Tuukka Rask is slated to draw the start on Saturday. The Finn hasn't faced the Flyers since the Bruins completed an epic postseason collapse with a Game 7 loss in the second round of the 2010 Stanley Cup playoffs.

TRENDS:

* Flyers are 5-1 in their last six Saturday games.
* Over is 4-1 in Flyers’ last five road games.
* Flyers are 1-9 in the last 10 meetings.
* Under is 4-1 in Bruins’ last five Saturday games.

OVERTIME:

1. Philadelphia RW Wayne Simmonds has yet to score a goal in nine career regular-season games versus Boston.

2. The Bruins recalled RW Jordan Caron from Providence of the American Hockey League on Friday. Caron practiced on the third line with C Rich Peverley and
LW Chris Kelly.

3. Three of the teams' four meetings in 2011-12 were decided by just one goal. The other was a 6-0 rout by Boston on Dec. 17, 2011.

Long Beach at Pacific 8:00PM

10* Pacific -4
With the Long Beach win at Cal Davis, the Niners clinched the Big West crown (as predicted in December), with a 14-3 SU mark. This is a far bigger game for Pacific, who has surpassed expectations with record of 19-12 SU, 12-5 SU in Big West play. Much of it may have had to do with the fact this is the 25th and final year for Pacific HC Bob Thomason who has had the Tigers in contention for Big West superiority in most of those seasons. This year he has had the benefit of five RS who have done no worse than play to expectations. It will be a highly emotional setting in this LHG at the Spanos Center, where the Tigers play their final Big West game before their move to the WCC next season. That emotion will be aided by revenge for 67-63 earlier loss to Long Beach, the knowledge they can clinch the #2 seed in Big West CCT, and the confidence that they are a perfect 8-0SU against league opponents on this court this season. With so much working for the home team here, it’s hard to ignore the high probability of ATS victory.

WEEKEND LEAN SHEET

La Salle at Saint Louis, Saturday, Mar. 9, 1:30 ET
Saint Louis is coming off of an upset loss in overtime at Xavier which snapped an 11-game winning streak, making this a big regular season finale with the Billikens now tied with VCU atop the Atlantic 10 standings at 12-3 and La Salle only one game out at 11-4. During that 11-game winning streak, the Billikens went 5-0 here at home while winning by an average of +19.0 points, with those wins including a 17-point rout of Butler and a 14-point romp over VCU! La Salle has probably already earned an at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament, but given that Saint Louis has been playing out of its mind at home, the Explorers' 261st national ranking in two-point defense is a major concern here. Saint Louis is 11-4 ATS in its last 15 games when coming off of an upset loss.
LEAN: Saint Louis

Marquette at St. John's, Saturday, Mar. 9, 2:00 ET
Marquette is still in the hunt for at least a share of the regular season Big East title as it owns a 13-4 conference mark, and although the Golden Eagles failed to cover the spread by one-half point in a 60-54 win at Rutgers on Tuesday, they did win for the fifth time in six games. They rank 15th in the country in offensive efficiency, and St. John's should have trouble keeping up now that leading scorer D'Angelo Harrison has been suspended for the season for disciplinary reasons. Even with Harrison for most of the year, the Red Storm are only 197th in offensive efficiency and 298th in effective field goal percentage. Marquette is 15-8-1 ATS in its last 24 road games following an ATS loss.
LEAN: Marquette

Nebraska at Iowa, Saturday, Mar. 9, 2:20 ET
Iowa has been inconsistent this season, but it is currently on a three-game ATS winning streak that began after an upset loss to these Cornhuskers in Lincoln, and the 19-11 Hawkeyes now have a chance for a 20-win season while seeking revenge on senior night. Iowa has been playing good defense while holding its last four home opponents below 60 points, lowering its points against at home for the season to 57.9 points per game with the 'under' going 8-4-1 in those contests. Nebraska combines ranking 291st in the country with a pace rating of 63.1 possessions per game with ranking 289th in effective field goal percentage, a combination resulting in just 58.7 points per game, which is 332nd in the nation. The 'under' is 12-4 in the last 16 Iowa games following three ATS wins.

IOWA STATE vs WEST VIRGINIA
IOWA STATE
-3½-110 (http://partners.commission.bz/processing/clickthrgh.asp?btag=a_420b_652) at BetOnline (http://www.betonline.ag/)


15* Big 12 GAME OF THE DAY on Iowa State -3.5

The Iowa State Cyclones are squarely on the bubble and need this win to get into the NCAA Tournament. A win and they're almost certainly in, while a loss would leave a lot of work to do in the Big 12 Tournament. This is one of the most underrated teams in the country.

Iowa State (20-10) is the definition of a team that is much better than its record would indicate. It has several close, heartbreaking losses this season, including a pair of overtime losses to Kansas in which the Jayhawks banked in a 3-pointer at the end of regulation, and the refs blew foul calls down the stretch of the other defeat.

West Virginia is simply one of the worst teams in the Big 12 at 13-17 on the season. It has given up on its season for a while now, losers of five straight coming into this one. Four of those five losses came by double-digits, including a 57-73 home loss to Oklahoma State, and a 65-91 setback at Kansas.

The Mountaineers are 1-9 ATS vs. good free throw shooting teams - making >=72% of their attempts this season. Iowa State is 9-1 ATS after having lost 2 of their last 3 games over the last 2 seasons. West Virginia is 0-6 ATS after a game where they made 53% of their free throws or worse over the last 3 seasons. The Mountaineers are 0-7 ATS in home games after allowing 80 points or more 2 straight games since 1997. These four trends combine for a 31-2 system backing the Cyclones. Roll with Iowa State Saturday.

15* CBB Saturday Undervalued Underdog on Kansas State +5.5

The Kansas State Wildcats are deadlocked in a tie with rival Kansas for the best record in the Big 12. Both teams are 14-3, and the Wildcats would love nothing more than to clinch at least a share of the conference title. They would win it outright with a win and a Jayhawk loss at Baylor later in the day.

While Kansas State certainly won't be lacking any motivation today, you have to question Oklahoma State's mental state of mind coming in. The Cowboys lost 76-87 at Iowa State on Wednesday to drop to 12-5 in the Big 12, a full two games back of both Kansas and Kansas State. I look for them to suffer a hangover from that defeat knowing that they cannot win at least a share of the Big 12 title now.

Oklahoma State is 2-8 ATS versus very good teams - outscoring their opponents by 8+ points/game this season. The Wildcats are 7-2 SU in true road games this season. The Cowboys are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Oklahoma State is 0-4-1 ATS in its last 5 home games. Bet Kansas State Saturday.

15* CBB Saturday No-Doubt Rout on Arkansas -8

The Arkansas Razorbacks are a bubble team in terms of the NCAA Tournament. They know they cannot afford to lose this game against Texas A&M Saturday if they want any chance of getting in. That's why I look for the Crimson Tide to put forth an inspired effort as they continue their dominance at home this season.

Arkansas is a sensational 17-1 at home this season where it is outscoring opponents by a whopping 16.6 points/game. Its home wins include Kentucky (73-60), Missouri (73-71), Florida (80-69) and Tennessee (73-60), so it has beaten four of the top teams in the conference, including three by double-digits.

Texas A&M has watched its NCAA Tournament hopes slip away by losing three of their last four games overall, including an ugly 57-68 home loss to LSU on Wednesday. That defeat showed that the Aggies had packed it in, and I fully expect them to lay down for the Razorbacks in what will be one of the biggest blowouts on the board Saturday.

Arkansas is 8-1 ATS in home games off a road loss over the last 2 seasons. It is coming back to win by 10.9 points/game in this spot. The Razorbacks are 8-1 ATS in home games on Saturday games over the last 2 seasons. It is winning by 14.6 points/game in this spot. The Razorbacks are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. Roll with Arkansas Saturday.

20* ACC GAME OF THE MONTH on Miami -12.5

The Miami Hurricanes are undervalued Saturday as only a 12.5-point favorite over the lowly Clemson Tigers. That's because they are coming off an ugly last-second home loss to Georgia Tech by a final of 69-71 on Wednesday as a 13-point favorite. A closer look shows why they lost that game.

Miami was coming off a heartbreaking 76-79 loss at Duke, so it was in a hangover situation. Also, the Hurricanes knew in the back of their minds that they could afford to lose that game to the Yellow Jackets with this contest against Clemson looming. They are still one game ahead of Duke in the ACC title race, so a win today will mean they'll be crowned conference champs.

The Hurricanes certainly won't be lacking any motivation with the ACC title on the line. They'll also be hungry to send their seniors out with one final home victory on Senior Day. This is a senior-led team as Kenny Kadji (13.3 PPG), Durand Scott (13.2), Trey McKinney Jones (9.1), Reggie Johnson (8.0) and Julian Gamble (6.6) will all be playing their final home game Saturday. These are five of Miami's top six scorers!

Losers of five straight and eight of their last nine overall, the Clemson Tigers have clearly given up on their season. That includes ugly losses in their last two games with a 61-69 setback at Virginia Tech, and a 61-68 home loss to Boston College. This team simply does not want to be playing in this game today.

Miami is 6-0 ATS after failing to cover 4 or 5 of their last 6 against the spread over the last 2 seasons. It is coming back to win by an average of 14.2 points/game in this spot. The Hurricanes are 27-10-1 ATS in their last 38 games vs. a team with a losing S.U. record. Miami is 12-3-1 ATS in its last 16 Saturday games. Clemson is 1-7 ATS in its last 8 Saturday game. Take Miami Saturday.

25* College Basketball GAME OF THE YEAR on Tennessee +1

The Tennessee Volunteers represent my strongest college basketball release for the entire 2012-13 season Saturday when they host the Missouri Tigers. This is a must-win game for Tennessee as it is squarely on the bubble of the NCAA Tournament. It won't be lacking any motivation today because of it.

Tennessee has played its best basketball of the season over the past month just to put itself in this position, and I look for it to continue today. The Vols have won seven of their last eight to get to 18-11 on the season. That includes four road wins and three impressive home victories over Kentucky (88-58), LSU (82-72) and Florida (64-58).

The Vols are now 12-3 at home this season. A big reason I'm backing them is the fact that Missouri is a terrible road team. The Tigers are just 2-7 in true road games this season with their only wins coming against SEC bottom feeders Mississippi State and South Carolina, who are a combined 7-27 in conference play this season.

Tennessee is 23-5 ATS as a home underdog of 6 points or less or pick since 1997. The Vols are 10-1 ATS versus good rebounding teams - outrebounding opponents by 4+ per game after 15+games over the last 2 seasons. Tennessee is 6-0 ATS off a road win against a conference rival over the last 2 seasons. The Tigers are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. The Vols are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record. These last four trends combine for a 27-1 system backing the Vols. Bet Tennessee Saturday.

15* Pac-12 GAME OF THE DAY on Colorado -8

While the Colorado Buffaloes (20-9) are coming off a big 76-52 home victory over the Oregon Ducks on Thursday night, they are still squarely on the bubble in terms of the NCAA Tournament. There's no question they realize this, and as a result they won't allow themselves to overlook lowly Oregon State Saturday.

Colorado is playing its best basketball of the season over the past couple months. It has won nine of its last 12 games overall with two of its three losses coming by a combined four points. The Buffaloes are 12-2 at home this season where they are outscoring their opponents by 14.2 points/game.

Oregon State (13-17) has clearly packed it in. It has lost five straight games, including a 61-72 loss at lowly Utah on Thursday to really prove that it doesn't want to be playing right now. Four of its five losses during this skid have come by double-digits, so the Beavers haven't even been competitive. Don't expect them to start Saturday.

Colorado is 6-0 ATS after allowing 55 points or less this season. It is winning in this spot by 14.7 points/game. The home team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in this series. Colorado has won its last three home meetings with Oregon State by 22, 26 and 15 points. Bet Colorado Saturday.

15* Kansas/Baylor ESPN Saturday No-Brainer on Kansas -3

At 14-3 in the Big 12 this season, the Kansas Jayhawks are tied with the Kansas State Wildcats atop the conference standings. They can clinch at least a share of their 9th straight Big 12 title with a win over the Baylor Bears Saturday. These Jayhawk players DO NOT want to break tradition, so they'll be laying it all on the line not only for themselves, but every former Jayhawk that helped keep this streak going.

Kansas has won seven straight while going 7-0 ATS in the process to put itself in this position. While the Jayhawks have been rolling and come in with a ton of confidence, the Bears have lost five of their last six with their only victory coming 65-62 over lowly West Virginia.

This poor run to close out the season has put Baylor on the outside looking in in terms of the NCAA Tournament, and not even a win over Kansas would put it on the right side of the bubble. As a result, I look for the Bears to come out flat today and for the more hungry Jayhawks to run away with this one.

Baylor is 1-9 ATS versus good shooting teams - making >=45% of their shots after 15+ games over the last 2 seasons. The Jayhawks are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The Bears are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Kansas is 6-0 ATS in its last 6 meetings in Baylor winning by 14, 20, 10, 26, 20 and 21 points. These four trends combine for a 26-1 system backing the Jayhawks. Take Kansas Saturday.

15* Big Ten GAME OF THE DAY on Iowa -12.5

The Iowa Hawkeyes are squarely on the bubble of the NCAA Tournament. They are certainly one of the last few teams out if the season were to end today, so they need this win over Nebraska, and maybe a win in the Big Ten Tournament to get in. I look for them to take care of step No. 1 in blowout fashion today.

Iowa is one of the most underrated teams in the country at 19-11 because it has so many close losses this season. That includes a 60-64 loss at Nebraska on February 23rd in their first meeting of the season in which the Hawkeyes blew a 41-25 halftime lead. That also puts Iowa in revenge mode today.

Iowa is 15-2 at home this season where it is outscoring opponents by 16.3 points/game. Its only home losses came to Indian and Michigan State by a combined 7 points! This team quietly has one of the best home-court advantages in the league, which makes them continuously undervalued at home.

Nebraska is coming off a big 53-51 home victory over Minnesota as an 8-point underdog. That win really made their season, and now they are in a huge letdown spot here. That's especially the case considering they've already beaten Iowa this season, so they won't be interested at all in this game.

In fact, Nebraska is 0-6 ATS off an upset win over a conference rival as an underdog over the last 2 seasons, losing in this spot by 22.0 points/game. The Huskers are 0-6 ATS off an upset win as a home underdog over the last 2 seasons, losing in this spot by 18.5 points/game. Iowa is 7-0 ATS in home games after a game where they covered the spread this season, winning by 15.0 points/game in this situation. These three trends combine for a perfect 19-0 system backing the Hawkeyes. Take Iowa Saturday.

15* Duke/UNC ESPN Late-Night BAILOUT on North Carolina -1.5

The North Carolina Tar Heels want revenge from a 68-73 loss at Duke as a 10.5-point underdog in their first meeting of the season on February 9th. I look for them to have their payback at home this time around as these Tobacco Road rivals square off Saturday night on ESPN at 9:00 EST.

North Carolina has been playing its best basketball of the season since that loss to Duke. It has gone a perfect 6-0 SU & 6-0 ATS in six games since with all six victories coming by 9 points or more. The Tar Heels won road games at Georgia Tech (70-58), Clemson (68-59), and Maryland (79-68), while also beating Virginia (93-81), NC State (76-65) and Florida State (77-58) at home during this stretch.

The Tar Heels are a sensational 14-1 SU & 10-3 ATS at home this season. They are outscoring opponents by a whopping 15.0 points/game at home this year. Their only home loss came to current ACC leader Miami, which obviously looking back really isn't that bad of a defeat.

Duke is only 4-4 on the road this season. It has road losses to NC State (76-84), Miami (63-90), Maryland (81-83) and Virginia (68-73). This is only a mediocre Blue Devils team when they get away from Cameron Indoor.

Duke is 0-6 ATS in road games off a home win against a conference rival this season. UNC is 8-0 ATS in home games versus very good teams - outscoring their opponents by 8+ points/game after 15+ games over the last 3 seasons. The Blue Devils are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. The Tar Heels are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games overall. UNC is 4-0 ATS in its last 4 home games. These four trends combine for a perfect 25-0 system backing the Tar Heels. Roll with North Carolina Saturday.

Triple-dime bet - 599 Kansas -3.5 (-110) vs 600 Baylor
Analysis: It can often be a slippery slope when laying points on the road in league play, you've got to pick your spots. I say we have one here guys. If there is a more underachieving team in the country than Baylor then I honestly don't know who it would be. Scott Drew might be a pretty capable recruiter but when it comes to developing his players he falls well short of most of the upper echelon coaches. The mark of a great coach is to see how much better players are his kids after they are through their career. I was visiting with a source who told me Drew could rank at the bottom of the conference in this area. I could not agree more. Okay, as for this specific game. We faded Baylor against Texas and I'm doing it again here. They have basically played themselves right out of contention for the big dance and team morale cannot be exactly high. I realize it's senior night in Waco but that guarantee's nothing, take Cal the other night for example. The fact is since their rare three game losing streak Kansas has resumed looking like, well, Kansas. The Jayhawks have reeled off seven straight games and are gunning for a potential #1 seed in the dance. Maybe the home crowd will get the juices flowing for Baylor and they might rise up and bite the favored Jayhawks. I love taking underdogs but frankly I just cannot back this Baylor team here. They might come out with some early emotion but that kind of thing can thin our quickly if things aren't clicking. I think once the Jayhawks hit this team in the mouth they will fold. I've seen it too many times before. I see Kansas prevailing here and easily clearing the number guys. Triple Star on Bill Self and his Kansas Jayhawks to crash the party. Okay, one final thought. My regular clients know this speech by heart now. My record with the big plays speaks for itself, but I don't believe in locks. Locks are marketing bullshit aimed at targeting newer, naive sports bettors. They do not exist. Hell, I wish they did. The only way to have success long term is to practice self discipline and money management guys. I was a bookie for years, I've seen it up close and personal. I know for a stone cold fact 90% of the bettors can't or won't abide by this philosophy. Don't be just another one of the herd fellas, be part of that 10% that actually gets it. Why do I keep harping on this? Because I actually do give a damn guys. If I didn't I'd just post the play and move on. Anyway, that's the sermon for now. Best of luck to us once again. Enjoy the game!

Wunderdog Sports Free Pick

Game: Northern Illinois at Ball State (2:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Northern Illinois +10.5 (-110)
Over the past three seasons, the Huskies are 27-15 ATS on the road. Under head coach Mark Montgomery, the Huskies are 9-2 ATS on the road after an ATS loss and 10-2 ATS following a game in which they scored 55 or less. Dating back to last season, Ball State is 7-16 ATS as a favorite. Northern Illinois has mustered all of four wins this season against Division-1 competition and enter here on a nine-game losing streak. Most will look at them unfavorably here because of the extended losing streak, but what they don't realize is that over the last seven years in NCAA basketball, teams on a nine-game losing streak cover over 55% of the time. Ball State has climbed to the .500 mark on the strength of four straight wins, covering all four of them. This situation doesn't occur frequently, but a team on a nine-game losing streak vs. a team on a four-game ATS streak are 3-0 ATS, as a subset of the above. Make the play on the dog, and back Northern Illinois.

The number didn't come for what I was looking at so we will pass on the "Game Of The Week" and look for a bigger play on Sunday

3-Unit Pick Take #67 Minnesota (+1.10) over Nashville (8pm, Saturday, March 9th)


Nashville plays on consecutive nights after shutting out the Oilers last night 6-0 in Nashville with Pekka Rinne getting the shutout. I think back up goalie Chris Mason will be in the net vs a improving and rested Minnesota team who is coming off a loss in Chicago 5-3. Minnesota didn't play as bad as that score would suggest falling behind quick back showing some grit to get that game back to 4-3 before Chicago added another one. The Wild are completely different team roster wise then they were last year, this team took some time to jell with no training camp and some many new faces. The Wild however are playing better hockey winning five of their last eight but more important the offense is clicking scoring three goals or more in six of their last nine games. These two have played twice already this season with each team winning, they should be a vocal crowd with the return of Ryan Suter after leaving Nashville after seven years and signing with Minnesota in the off season. I think the Wild view this as a big game and from what I have read out of the Minnesota practices they have two very good practices from that loss in Chicago, Minnesota goalie Pekka Rinne has played well in this building with a 2.17 goals against and a 3-1-1 record. Look for the improved Wild to bounce back here.


2-Unit Pick Take Over (5.5) Detroit at Columbus (2pm, Saturday, March 9th)


Detroit has been winning low scoring games lately beating Edmonton 3-0 on Thursday but playing in four straight games of 2-1 final scores prior to that game. The Red Wings were riding the play of goalie Jimmy Howard who has posted a 4-1-1 record with a 1.15 goals against starting the last six games. However Howard will sit this one out giving way to Jonas Gustavvson. Columbus is surprisingly playing good hockey winning three straight and have beating this Detroit team twice this year and losing once to the Wings with the over going 2-1 in those three games. Columbus tends to give up a lot of shots on net which isn't a good thing going against a Detroit team looking for a outburst on offense. We get good value taking plus money back on this total in a game that I think will be played loose after the run of low scoring games that both of these teams have been involved in lately. Take the value and go over here.

Burns -14.5 UNLV

I'm playing on UNLV. While the margin of defeat at Air Force was a little bigger, a 64-55 loss at Fresno State on 2/6 was arguably the low point of the Rebels' season. It marked the only time all season that the Rebels lost two games in row and was their biggest upset loss. (They were favored by 3.5 when they lost at AF but but 8.5 when they lost at Fresno.)

Off five straight victories, the Rebels are now playing much better than they were for last month's meeting with the Bulldogs. I expect them to avenge that loss in convincing fashion.

The Bulldogs may have beaten the Rebels earlier and they are coming off a win in their home finale, however they're still the worst team in the Mountain West. The fact that they've covered some games recently has worked in out favor, in helping to keep this line more reasonable than it would have been otherwise.

Bottom line. The Rebels are a much stronger and more complete team. Last month's embarrassing result and the fact that this is their regular season home finale should ensure that they keep the pedal to the metal the entire way. 10*

DAVID BANKS

Utah Jazz vs. New York Knicks
The New York Knicks (37-22, 29-28-2 ATS) were very game without Carmelo
Anthony while losing by one point to the Thunder Thursday, and they host
another West team in the Utah Jazz (32-29, 29-31-1 ATS) at Madison Square Garden
Saturday at 7:35 ET on NBA TV. The Knicks started Kurt Thomas in Anthony's
absence, but it was J.R. Smith who came off the bench to pour in 36 points,
and he may get the starting nod here if Carmelo still cannot go again due to
fluid build-up behind his right knee. This certainly looks like an easier
matchup than Oklahoma City was given Utah's home vs. away disparity.

The Knicks are 10th in the NBA in scoring at 99.8 points per game and they
rely heavily on the three-point shot. New York is eighth in the league in
three-point percentage at 36.9 percent, but that does not tell the entire
story as the Knicks jack up 29.2 three-point attempts per game, so that shooting
percentage translates to a very good 10.8 makes per game. That takes on
added significance here with the Jazz ranking just 24th in the league in
three-point defense. The Knicks did not really miss a beat in the three-point
department without Anthony, as they still made 10 treys vs. the Thunder, thanks
to Smith going a blazing 6-for-13 beyond the arc. The Knicks are also ninth
in the league defensively in points allowed at 96.0 per contest, and that
defense turned the game around after Oklahoma City had scored 59 points by
halftime, as it held Kevin Durant & Co. to just 16 points in the third quarter
and to 36 points in the entire second half.

The Jazz almost always have severe home/away splits from year to year and
this season has been no exception. Utah's overall averages make it look like
the run-of-the-mill team that it is while going three games over .500 as it
is ranked 11th in the NBA in scoring and 17th in points against. However,
consider that when the Jazz are home, they are 22-8 straight up and 18-12 ATS
while averaging 100.6 points and allowing 95.5 for an average winning margin
of +5.2 points. Those numbers almost do a uncanny total flip-flop though
when the Jazz are on the road like they are here, where they are 10-21
straight up and 11-19-1 ATS while averaging only 96.8 points while allowing 102.0
for a point differential of -5.2 points. Unbelievably though, Utah has been
unable to solve the Knicks from a betting perceptive over the last seven
years regardless of the venue, as the Knicks are an amazing 14-0 ATS in all the
head-to-head meetings during that time!

The Jazz are not alone as the Knicks are 24-8-2 ATS in their last 34 games
vs. the Northwest Division. The Jazz are 6-15 ATS in their last 21 road
games vs. teams with winning home records, as well as 7-20-1 ATS in their last
28 road games vs. teams with a home winning percentage greater than .600.
