Play on: Virginia -23½ -104 at pinnacle

802 Gardner Webb & Virginia
Because Virginia hasn't fared as well as expected in the Big Dance we are getting nice value on the far superior team. The country as a whole knows the Cavaliers are the only #1 seed to ever lose to a #16 seed. Therefore small sample sizes and recentcy bias help us with the number here.
Gardner Webb allows opponents to take 45% of its shots from long range, and Virginia makes 40.9% of its shots from beyond the 3 point line. The underdog does attempt 43% of its shots at the rim, Virginia only allows teams to take 31.8% of its shots from close range. Virginia has a huge advantage in rebounding in this game. So fewer shots overall and less shots specifically for the underdog.
PLAY VIRGINIA

This is the MOST-EXPLOSIVE Big Dance Opening Round I have ever put out. Friday, I have my NCAAB 56-25 LAS VEGAS STRIP MOVE, 27-5-1 TEN DIMES, 81% POWERHOUSE, elite HIGH ROLLER, 75% MONEYMAKER, and my coveted, 35-19 SLAM DUNK WINNERS. Be on them all and start your Big Dance off right.
Friday's FREE NCAAB TOURNEY WINNER: Virginia Cavaliers.
Game 802.
12:10 pm pst.
Expect the top-seeded Cavaliers to take no prisoners here after LY's, historic, 1st Rd loss. Virginia was the first #1 seed to lose to a #16 last March in their embarrassing, 74-54 crushing defeat at the hands of UMBC. Garner Webb showed signs of greatness this season with wins over Georgia Tech and Wake Forest. However, playing Virginia is a whole different animal. Look for the Cavaliers to come out here and make a statement, especially after their last outing, a 10-point loss to the Seminoles. Virginia is 20-8 ATS the L28 non-conference games, 14-3 ATS the L17 games played following an ATS loss, and 43-18-1 ATS the L62 overall games. Take the Cavaliers. Thank you.

Play on: Washington +3 -110 at Mirage

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. #811 Washington over Utah State (6:50p.m., Friday, March 22 TNT) Utah State is one of the surprise teams in the country and making it to the NCAA Tournament is already a great accomplishment for them. That being said, this team has had very little success in the NCAA Tournament over the years and this year will be no different. Washington did not perform well down the stretch, but they still won the PAC-12 and not playing Oregon will benefit them a great deal. Utah State is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 NCAA Tournament games. Washington is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 NCAA Tournament games. Do not miss out on Doc’s Sports NCAA Tournament selections this week featuring our NCAA Tournament Game of the Year. This pick has won the last two years and it is one of the most sought out games in the entire country.

NHL | Wild vs Capitals
Play on: UNDER 6 -105

The set-up: I think the “under” is worth a second look in this one. The Wild are off a 3-1 home loss to Colorado, while the Capitals are off a 5-4 OT loss to Tampa at home. The Wild are in a dog fight with the Avs for the final playoff spot in the West, so their latest setback was clearly a poor one. The Wild come in desperate here in fact as they’ve lost five of their last six (and it’s been their offense to blame, posting only 11 total goals over its last six games.) Minnesota is 19-17 on the road, averaging 2.78 goals and allowing 2.81 in those contests. The Capitals are 21-15 at home. averaging 3.53 goals and allowing 2.86.
The pick: Minnesota goaltender Devan Dubnyk is 17-13 with a 2.51 GAA on the road, while Washington net minder Braden Holtby is 14-12 with a 2.80 GAA at home. Take it for what you will as well, but Minnesota has seen the total go “under” the number in seven of eight this year after playing three straight home games, while Washington has seen the total go “under” in six of its last eight home games following an OT loss in which it allowed five or more goals in. Consider the “under” in this one.

NCAA-B | UCF vs VCU
Play on: UCF -1 -105 at BMaker

1* Free NCAAB Pick on UCF Knights -1
I have a really hard time seeing UCF lose this game and that makes them an easy play with the line basically at pick'em. I just think this is a really bad matchup for VCU's struggling offense and while UCF isn't an offensive juggernaut, they are a pretty efficient offensive team.
The Rams enter the NCAA Tournament ranked 173rd in offensive efficiency and are one of the worst 3-point shooting teams in the nation. VCU is 331st in the country in 3-point percentage offense.
UCF's is a team built around 7'6 big man Tacko Fall, who averages 2.5 blocks/game and effects a lot more shots than that. So if VCU can't shoot the 3 and don't figure to get many good looks in the paint, that leaves a lot of bad long/contested jump shots.
Fall is more of an anchor on defense than an offensive threat, but that's fine. The Knights have a dynamic 1-2 backcourt with B.J. Taylor and Aubrey Dawkins. The two combine for more than 30 ppg and both shoot lights out from behind the 3-point line.
I'm not saying the Knights will light up the scoreboard against a really good VCU defense, I just think UCF will have the much easier time finding quality looks at the basket. Reminds me a lot of when the Rams played Virginia earlier in the year and managed just 49 points and shot 29.5% from the field. Take UCF!

NCAA-B | St. Louis vs Virginia Tech
Play on: St. Louis +10½ -110 at Mirage

10* FREE NCAAB PICK (St Louis +10.5)
I'll take my chances here with St Louis as a double-digit dog, as I just feel there's too much value with this number to not take a shot. I think we are seeing inflation on the number because of the big news that Va Tech is going to get back point guard Justin Robinson. Also you have a St. Louis team that wouldn't have made the tournament had they not won the A-10 Tournament.
One thing the Billikens do have is momentum, as they just knocked off 3 of the top 4 teams (Dayton, Davidson and St. Bonaventure) in the Atlantic 10 in route to that automatic bid. There's also plenty to like about this St Louis team. They not only have Power 5 athletes on their roster, this a team that is built around a gritty man-to-man defense that can really protect the rim.
I think they have the talent to slow down the big playmakers of Virginia Tech in Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Kerry Blackshear. I also think there's a decent chance that Robinson doesn't impact the game as much as people think. The guy hasn't played since January and you have to wonder if he didn't rush back before he was fully healthy. Robinson really mixes up the roles and I just don't like big chemistry changes this late in the year, especially on this stage. Give me St Louis +10.5!

NCAA-B | St. Louis vs Virginia Tech
Play on: Virginia Tech -10 -107 at pinnacle

T.M. Selection: Virginia Tech (FREE PLAY)
It’s the No. 13 seed Saint Louis Billikens vs. the No. 4 seed Virginia Tech Hokies on Friday night and in my opinion, all signs point to a blowout victory for the favorite here. Saint Louis had a poor regular season, but it put it all together during the Conference Tournament, eventually winning the title 55-53 over Saint Bonaventure, exacting revenge from a loss in its regular season finale to the Bonnies. VT finished No. 4 in the ACC with a 12-6 record and had impressive non-conference victories over the likes of Purdue and Washington. I have a hard time seeing Saint Louis keeping pace offensively today, as the Billikens average just 102.6 points per 100 possessions. Saint Louis allows only 96.3 points per 100 possessions, but that unit is going to be tested by the Hokies’ high-flying offense which averages 118.4 points per 100 possessions, and with a suffocating defense which concedes only 94.0 points per 100 possessions. I’m banking on the Billikens coming back down to Earth here after their unlikely Conference Tournament title victory. Consider Virginia Tech on Friday night.
T.M. Prediction: 70-56 Hokies.

Gulfstream Park - Race #10 - Post: 6:08pm - Maiden Claiming - 8.0 furlongs on the Turf. Purse: $25,000 Class Rating: 74

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#12 TIZ LUNA (ML=8/1)
#14 UMBRAGE (ML=6/1)
#16 INDISPUTABLYLINKED (ML=6/1)


TIZ LUNA - Was in a $35,000 Maiden Claiming race at Gulfstream Park last race out. That affair had a class rating of 79 and he is moving down right here. A certain serious competitor. Don't often see a lucrative ROI like +587. This rider/handler tandem has done well together over the last 12 months. Came home in fast time last out. A positive sign. UMBRAGE - The Feb 24th affair at Tampa Bay Downs was at a class level of (81). Dropping to a lower level a significant amount, so he should be in a good spot. This horse obviously likes the conditions for today's race. Has notched the highest speed rating on the turf at the dist/surf. The most recent rating of 71 is the top last race speed fig in the field. This horse has increased his speed ratings from a fig of 36 to 68 to 71 in succession. INDISPUTABLYLINKED - Jimenez was aboard this gelding in the last race and was impressed enough to take the horse right back. This gelding is in good physical condition. Ended up second on February 22nd. I like this gelding. Has the top earnings per race in here.

Vulnerable Contenders: #9 JAMMIN JIMTOWN (ML=7/2), #4 WINE AT THE BEACH (ML=4/1), #2 SPINNING KITTEN (ML=5/1),

JAMMIN JIMTOWN - You have to be concerned that this runner added wraps last time out. Improbable that the speed figure he recorded on February 20th will be good enough in this race. WINE AT THE BEACH - When looking at today's class figure, he will have to record a better speed figure than last time around the track to compete in this turf route. SPINNING KITTEN - Don't figure that this entrant is worth 5/1 in this event.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: Winston - INDISPUTABLYLINKED - This is a great longshot angle. Play the top-rated TrackMaster power-rated horse if he has a morning line of at least 5-1.

# 4 JAFMIL'S INFERNO 5/1

# 7 COWBOY'S MARY L 8/1

# 6 MUZZ'EM 5/2

JAFMIL'S INFERNO looks to be a competitive contender. Trainer boasts sharp win figures at this distance and surface. With a nice Equibase class rating average of 77, has one of the most favorable class advantages in this group of animals. With a strong 61 average speed figure at the distance, seems well suited for today's contest. COWBOY'S MARY L - Look for this horse to be right there at the finish line versus these horses. Have to think this equine will run well again this time around. MUZZ'EM - She looks very good in this slot and I expect will be on the lead or close at the halfway point. Is a solid contender - given the 65 speed figure from her most recent race.

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#3 CHECKMARK (ML=7/2)
#1 W W RUSSIAN GOLD (ML=5/2)


CHECKMARK - Macias comes to saddle up after getting to know the gelding in the last race. This speed freak should benefit from this contest's shorter distance. W W RUSSIAN GOLD - Gelding's win percentage is better than 50 percent in first and second starts off a vacation. Strong return on investment for this jockey and conditioner duo. That 70 fig this gelding recorded in his last affair tells me he's a big time player this time around.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 TIZ TOO MUCH (ML=2/1), #4 READY TO FIGHT (ML=4/1), #6 PAMIR (ML=8/1),

TIZ TOO MUCH - I usually try to beat these types of favorites off the extended layoff. This gelding notched a speed fig in his last affair which probably isn't good enough in today's race. Didn't meet expectations as the public's choice twice. READY TO FIGHT - In any affair of 5 1/2 furlongs, I like to back a contender that has been looking good in sprint contests lately. PAMIR - No favorable outcomes for this horse in a short distance event over the last sixty days tells me that this colt is in a very difficult situation

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: The Brain - W W RUSSIAN GOLD - Took a drop in class last time around the track at Hawthorne. Stays at the same class level today. Look for a strong showing.

# 5 JESS A SATIN FLASH 6/1

# 6 RUNAWAY JEANS 10/1

# 7 DARING AND DASHING 8/1

I like JESS A SATIN FLASH here. Might go off at a solid price and has some positive attributes going for him. Seems to have a decent class edge based on the most recent company kept. He has posted formidable figs under today's conditions and will most likely fare well versus this group of animals. RUNAWAY JEANS - Is difficult not to consider based on speed figures which have been solid - 76 avg - of late. DARING AND DASHING - This gelding looks good in this contest since Sanchez has a strong win percent with horses going this distance. I expect a formidable performance from this pony whose trainer has one of the top ROI percentages with horses running at this distance and surface.

Friday - Session 1
David Schwab

The first four games on this Friday’s 16-game slate in the second-half of the opening round of this year’s NCAA Tournament offers some interesting betting options in the South and West Regions. First up, No. 10 Iowa takes on No. 7 Cincinnati in the South. This will be followed by a matchup between No. 9 Oklahoma and No. 8 Ole Miss, which is also in the South Region.

Friday’s first game in the West Region pits No. 14 Northern Kentucky against No. 3 Texas Tech. The early sessions wraps things up with a South Region tilt between No. 13 UC Irvine and No. 4 Kansas State.

South Region (Columbus, OH)

No. 10 Iowa Hawkeyes vs. No. 7 Cincinnati Bearcats (CBS, 12:15 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Cincinnati -3 ½, 138

Betting Matchup

Iowa slipped to 10-10 straight-up in Big Ten play after losing its last four regular season games. The Hawkeyes then fell to Michigan 74-53 as eight-point underdogs in their second game of the conference tournament. Going back to a tight one-point win against Northwestern on Feb. 10 as 11-point favorites, they have failed to cover against the spread in nine of their last 10 games. Iowa is 0-4 ATS in its last four games closing as an underdog.

The Bearcats bring quite a bit of momentum into their opener after knocking off Houston 68-57 as five-point underdogs to win the AAC Tournament. This followed a pair of losses to the Cougars that cost them the regular season title. Junior guard Jarron Cumberland is one to watch in this game after posting 33 points in that recent win against Houston. He is averaging a team-high 18.8 points per game.

Betting Trends

-- The Hawkeyes have gone 9-1 ATS in their last 10 neutral-site games and the total has gone OVER in 10 of their last 13 games following a SU loss.

-- The Bearcats are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games in the NCAA Tournament with the total staying UNDER in four of their last five games against the Big Ten.

-- Cincinnati won the only previous meeting both SU and ATS with the total going OVER.


South Region (Columbia, SC)

No. 9 Oklahoma Sooners vs. No. 8 Ole Miss Rebels (TruTV, 12:40 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Ole Miss -2, 142 ½

Betting Matchup

The Sooners lost to Kansas State as 7 ½-point road underdogs in their regular season finale ahead of an early exit in the Big 12 Tournament with a 72-71 loss to West Virginia as 6 ½-point favorites. The up and down nature of this team was evident in a SU five-game losing streak early in February with three more losses in its last five games. Oklahoma has also been a tough team to bet on lately at 3-5-1 ATS over its last nine games.

Mississippi is another team that struggled down the stretch with five SU losses in its last seven games. The latest setback was a 62-57 loss to Alabama as a 3 ½-point favorite in its SEC Tournament opener. The Rebels went 1-3 ATS in their last four games closing as favorites with a SU mark of 2-2. Ole Miss averaged 75.4 PPG this season, but it allowed an average of 70.4 points a game on defense. This defense has given up at least 71 points in five of its last seven games.

Betting Trends

-- The Sooners are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 NCAA Tournament games and the total has stayed UNDER in six of their last eight games against the SEC.

-- The Rebels have a 13-3 record ATS in their last 16 nonconference games with the total going OVER in their last four games against the Big 12.


West Region (Tulsa, OK.)

No. 14 Northern Kentucky Norse vs. No. 3 Texas Tech Red Raiders (TNT, 1:30 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Texas Tech -14, 137

Betting Matchup

With a share of the Horizon League regular season title at 13-5 SU along with a tournament title, the Norse bring some momentum into the Big Dance. They have won their last five games SU, but the record ATS stands at just 2-6 over their last eight contests. Northern Kentucky got a big effort from Dantez Walton with 15 points and 14 rebounds in a 77-66 upset against Wright State as a slight one-point underdog in the Horizon League’s title game.

The Red Raiders were the class of the Big 12 all season long at 14-4 SU along with Kansas State, but an early exit from the conference tournament put a damper on a recent SU nine-game winning streak. They fell to West Virginia 79-74 as heavy 13-point favorites in the opening game. This was just the second time that Texas Tech failed to cover in its last 10 games. The total has gone OVER in six of its last seven outings.

Betting Trends

-- The Norse have covered in nine of their last 12 games played at a neutral site. The total has stayed UNDER in three of their last five nonconference games.

-- The Red Raiders are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games in the NCAA Tournament with the total staying UNDER in seven of their last 10 games in this tournament.

-- Texas Tech won the only previous meeting SU with no posted betting line.


South Region (San Jose, CA)

No. 13 UC Irvine Anteaters vs. No. 4 Kansas State Wildcats (TBS, 2:00 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Kansas State -5, 119

Betting Matchup

Playing out of the Big West, UC Irvine started the season with a SU six-game winning streak and it closed out its run to the conference title in both the regular season and the postseason tournament with 16 SU wins in a row. The Anteaters have also been a solid betting team down the stretch with an 11-3-1 record ATS in their last 15 games. Junior guard Max Hazard was the team’s leading scorer this season with 12.5 PPG and he posted 23 points in the Big West title game.

Kansas State went toe-to-toe with Texas Tech in the Big 12 at 14-4 SU, including a split against the Red Raiders in the regular season series. The Wildcats came up short against Iowa State in the conference tournament with a 63-59 loss as 2 ½-point underdogs. This was part of a 6-2 run both SU and ATS over their last eight games. The total stayed UNDER in six of those eight games. Unfortunately, they will have to play on without the services of Dean Wade, who was lost to a foot injury.

Betting Trends

-- The Anteaters have gone 0-5-1 ATS in their last six games against the Big 12 and the total has stayed UNDER in six of their last eight neutral-site games.

-- The Wildcats are 5-1 ATS in their last six games played at a neutral site with the total staying UNDER in their last five games against the Big West.

-- Kansas State won the only previous meeting both SU and ATS with the total staying UNDER.

Friday - Session 2
Kevin Rogers

South Region (Columbus, OH)

No. 15 Colgate vs. #2 Tennessee (CBS, 2:45 PM EST)

Opening Odds: Tennessee -17 ½, 148

The Volunteers (29-5 SU, 17-15-1 ATS) had a nice stretch as the top-ranked team in the country during conference play. Tennessee started the SEC slate at 11-0 before falling at Kentucky on February 16 in an 86-69 defeat. The Vols went 4-3 down the stretch in the regular season to drop to the third seed in the SEC tournament, but still managed to reach the championship game as they were blown out by Auburn, 84-64.

Tennessee posted a 5-8 ATS record in the last 13 games, while compiling a 1-3 ATS mark as a double-digit favorite in the last four opportunities. The Volunteers racked up plenty of quality wins away from Knoxville this season, including beating Gonzaga, Kentucky, Florida, and Ole Miss, while losing in overtime to Kansas and LSU.

Colgate (24-10 SU, 18-14-1 ATS) captured the Patriot League title for the first time since 1996 after topping Bucknell in the conference tournament, 94-80. The Raiders are riding a 7-2 ATS run the last nine games, while eclipsing the 80-point mark in all three victories in the Patriot tournament. Colgate didn’t rack up any great wins on its resume, while losing to Syracuse, Penn State, and Pittsburgh on the road by double-digits.

Tennessee reached the round of 32 in last season’s tournament before getting bounced by Final Four participant Loyola-Chicago in a one-point setback. The Volunteers did cruise in their first round matchup against Wright State in a 73-47 blowout as 11 ½-point favorites. Colgate is in the Big Dance for the third time ever (1995, 1996), as the team that the Raiders eventually lost to each fell in the Sweet 16 those two years.


South Region (Columbia, SC)

No. 16 Gardner-Webb vs. #1 Virginia (truTV, 3:10 PM EST)

Opening Odds: Virginia -21 ½, 129 ½

The Cavaliers (29-3 SU, 23-9 ATS) have seen this movie before and left disappointed as UMBC shocked UVA in the 1/16 game last March, 74-54. The Wahoos have another shot as a top seed in the NCAA tournament this time around after finishing tied with the best record in the ACC at 16-2 alongside North Carolina. The only two losses in conference play came at the hands of Duke, while Virginia was knocked out in the semifinals of the ACC tournament by Florida State.

Virginia covered its first seven conference games before prior to a 1-4 ATS run in early February. The Cavaliers cashed in five straight games prior to a non-cover in the regular season finale against Louisville as 12-point favorites. UVA put together a solid 12-6 ATS mark as a double-digit favorite this season, while closing as a 20 ½-point favorite in the surprising setback to UMBC last season.

Gardner-Webb (23-11 SU, 17-14 ATS) is making its first ever appearance in the NCAA tournament after taking the crown of the Big South tournament. The Runnin’ Bulldogs finished third in the regular season conference standings, but knocked off the top two teams in the Big South tournament by defeating Campbell and Radford in the underdog role. Gardner-Webb has covered in seven of its past eight games, while its signature win this season came at Georgia Tech as a 13-point underdog in a 79-69 victory in December.


West Region (Tulsa, OK)

No. 11 Arizona State vs. #6 Buffalo (TNT, 4:00 PM EST)

Opening Odds: Buffalo -4 ½, 167

Last season, Buffalo (31-3 SU, 18-14-1 ATS) made headlines in the first round of the NCAA tournament by routing Arizona, 89-68 in the 4/13 matchup to make a name for itself. Now, the Bulls take on another Pac-12 squad in the Big Dance opening game as Buffalo faces old head coach Bobby Hurley, who left for Tempe in 2015 after a solid two-year stint in the MAC.

The Bulls rolled through the MAC this season with a 16-2 conference mark, while the only two losses came by a total of six points at Bowling Green and Northern Illinois. Buffalo started the season at 11-3-1 ATS, but finished at 7-11 ATS the final 18 games, although seven of those ATS defeats came as a double-digit favorite. The lone loss out of conference occurred in late December in a 103-85 setback at Marquette, while winning at Syracuse and West Virginia.

Arizona State (23-10 SU, 18-14-1 ATS) lost in the First Four round last season to Syracuse, but atoned for that defeat by holding off St. John’s in this year’s First Four, 74-65. The Sun Devils cashed as 1 ½-point favorites, as ASU limited the Red Storm to 32% shooting to rebound from a 79-75 overtime loss to Oregon in the Pac-12 semifinals.

ASU had several nice wins in non-conference play by beating Utah State, Mississippi State, and Kansas, but also lost at Vanderbilt by 16 points and was upset by Princeton as 14 ½-point home favorites. The Sun Devils posted a 6-5-1 ATS mark in the underdog role, which included conference wins at Arizona, Oregon State, Utah, and UCLA.


South Region (San Jose, CA)

No. 12 Oregon vs. #5 Wisconsin (TBS, 4:30 PM EST)

Opening Odds: Wisconsin -2 ½, 116 ½

The Ducks (23-12 SU, 20-15 ATS) have been living on the edge the last three weeks, but Oregon hasn’t lost a game since February 23 at UCLA. Oregon is riding an eight-game winning streak, capped off by a pair of wins over Pac-12 regular season champion Washington. The Ducks crushed the Huskies to capture the tournament championship and automatic tourney bid, 68-48, while finishing off a run of four wins in four days in Las Vegas.

Wisconsin (23-10 SU, 16-16-1 ATS) finished fourth in the Big 10 this season behind Michigan State, Purdue, and Michigan at 14-6. The Badgers were knocked out of the conference tournament semifinals by the eventual champion Spartans, 67-55 to fall to 2-7-1 ATS in the last 10 games. Wisconsin started Big 10 play at 3-3 before running off six consecutive wins, including handing Michigan its first loss of the season on January 19.

Oregon has clamped down on opponents during this eight-game hot stretch by allowing 54 points or fewer six times and cashing the UNDER seven times. The Ducks are on a 12-2 UNDER run since late January, as Oregon is two years removed from making it all the way to the Final Four in 2017.

Oregon and Wisconsin hooked up in the NCAA tournament in 2014 and 2015 as the Badgers eliminated the Ducks each time in the round of 32. Wisconsin won its tournament opener from 2014-17 before not qualifying last season, as the Badgers were last eliminated in the first round by Ole Miss in 2013.

Friday - Session 3
Tony Mejia

Midwest Region - Columbus, OH - Nationwide Arena

#9 Washington vs. #8 Utah State - 6:50 PM EST - TNT

Opening Odds: Utah State -3, 134.5

-- This line hasn't moved much despite the novelty of the Mountain West champion being favored over the team that ran through the Pac-12 wire-to-wire, dominating the regular season before losing to Oregon in the conference tournament final in Las Vegas. Utah State (28-6 SU, 18-15 ATS) stunned Nevada to capture the regular-season title in a memorable game that got testy and caught a break when San Diego State took down the Wolf Pack in Vegas, making the championship game far more manageable as they won 64-57.

-- The Aggies won 17 of their last 18 games, covering in seven of the last nine. West Coast Conference tourney champ Saint Mary’s was their strongest victim in the non-conference portion of their schedule. They also took down Big West champ UC-Irvine but fell to Houston, Arizona State and BYU. -- Washington (26-8 SU, 17-16-1 ATS) had a stretch of 10 consecutive covers between Jan. 5-Feb. 7, part of a 12-game unbeaten run that put the Pac-12 in its back pocket by Valentine's Day.

-- Starting wing Sam Merrill (21.2 ppg) was named the Mountain West Player of the Year after shooting 38 percent from 3-point range, which was actually down from his averages over his first two seasons, where he shot better than 45 percent from beyond the arc. He’s one of the nation’s top shooters and has knocked down over 90 percent of his free-throws, making him a huge asset late in games. The attention he commands from a defense due to his range makes the game easier for everyone else, which explains why he’s averaged over 35 minutes per game over his last two seasons.

-- While Merrill is Utah State’s most important player, its top NBA prospect is 6-foot-11 freshman center Neemias Queta, a native of Portugal. He’s agile and has excellent footwork, so even though he’ll have to put on a lot of weight and is a project as far as scouts are concerned, he’s one with loads of promise. New Mexico State’s Pacal Siakam is similarly built and has blossomed for the Toronto Raptors this season. Queta is averaging 11.9 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.4 blocks. He’s shooting 55 percent from the field in March and has averaged 9.2 rebounds and 2.0 blocks, earning Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year honors. He’s managed to score in double-figures in all five games, matching the longest such streak of his freshman season. It will be interesting to see how he handles the Huskies’ zone defense, which can certainly be confusing and imposing.

-- The Huskies rely on defense to create easy baskets and turn miscues into points well enough to compensate for an inconsistent offense that could struggle feeding Noah Dickerson inside given Queta’s presence. He’s only 6-foot-8 but is typically a load inside and has nice touch, but he struggled immensely in the Pac-12 Tournament, shooting 6-for-18 from the field. Washington clearly has to get him going to be a factor in the NCAAs, but doing so against a team whose strength is interior defense means he’s going to need a special game right out of the gate.

-- Washington leading scorer Jaylen Nowell can really get hot and has an old-school mid-range game, so his ability to make plays with the shot clock dwindling will likely be the x-factor in who advances to face North Carolina. Point guard David Crisp and wing Matisse Thybulle, one of the nation’s most effective defensive players, both struggle to put the ball in the basket, which puts additional pressure on Nowell (16.2 ppg, 5.3 rpg), to produce to keep the Huskies’ attack from bogging down. Nowell shot just 8-for-23 over the last two games of the Pac-12 Tourney, shooting 1-for-5 from 3-point range. He went 4-for-4 in the opener against USC and went from a 35 percent 3-point shooter as a freshman to 43 percent this season.

-- Both the Huskies and Aggies were each 500-to-1 to win the entire NCAA Tournament per the Westgate Superbook.

-- The 'over' was on a 3-0-1 run prior to Utah State's MWC Championship game over San Diego State. The Aggies' 64-57 win fell well under the posted total of 133.5. The low-side is on 13-4 run in Washington games since Jan. 19.


East Region - Columbia, SC - Colonial Life Arena

#16 North Dakota State vs. #1 Duke - 7:10 PM EST - CBS

Opening Odds: Duke -27, 148.5

-- It's no surprise to see Duke (29-5 SU, 18-16 ATS) so heavily favored after its jaw-dropping performance in the ACC Tournament. After getting Zion Williamson back, the Blue Devils saw him put together a perfect 13-for-13 shooting night against Syracuse before following it up with big nights against UNC and FSU. The nation's most heralded NBA prospect shot 77 percent in the ACC Tournament, averaging 27 points and 10 boards. He's healthy following his knee sprain, which means the Blue Devils are going to be tough to beat..

-- The Blue Devils were a 9-to-4 choice at Westgate when the NCAA Tournament tipped off, making them the favorite over Gonzaga (9/2), North Carolina and Virginia (6/1).

-- The fact North Dakota State (19-15 SU, 15-17 ATS) had to play on Wednesday certainly didn't aid its cause as far as the spread is concerned, but teams have rebounded well over the past few years in this situation. We'll see how the Bison hold up after defeating North Carolina Central in Dayton.

-- NDSU shot 9-for-20 from 3-point range to rally against the MEAC champion Eagles, landing four starters in double-figures. Versatile wing Tyson Ward finished with team-highs of 23 points, six rebounds and three assists against NCCU, while point guard Vinnie Shahid added 14 points. They were the team's top scorers this season. .

-- The Bison lost to Gonzaga, Iowa State, East Tennessee State, New Mexico State by double-digits in November and December. The team's best victory this season came over Missouri State on Dec. 15. They had dropped both of their games against Omaha before pulling off an upset in the Summit League championship game.

-- Besides Williamson, freshmen starters R.J. Barrett, Cam Reddish and Tre Jones will all be playing their first NCAA Tournament game. Talent alone should help stabilize them -- particularly in this matchup -- which is helpful since there aren't many vets to lean on for advice. Junior Javin DeLaurier has the most experience, having participated in four games last season. He's averaged 5.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.2 blocks over the past four games and should play a large role.

-- Junior center Marques Bolden has also played major minutes for Duke but comes into the NCAAs coming off a knee sprain that has kept him out the past few games. He's expected to play but probably won't be called on to play major minutes until next week since he'll be working his way back.

-- Duke has been favored more than 20 points on 10 occasions this season, winning every time but covering on just six occasions. In their last expected walk-over, Duke narrowly beat Wake Forest as a 24.5-point favorite in the home finale in Durham on March 5. It won 71-70

-- The Blue Devils have seen the 'under' prevail in 13 of their last 17 games and have only surpassed one of the last 13 total set at 150 or higher, which this number may approach by tip-off if public money expect to see a show in a blowout.


Midwest Region - Tulsa, OK - BOK Center

#14 Georgia State vs. #3 Houston - 7:20 PM EST - TBS

Opening Odds: Houston -12, 142

-- Kelvin Sampson continues to work wonders at Houston (31-3 SU, 20-11-2 ATS) and has delivered just the fourth 30-win season in school history. That benchmark hadn't been cleared by the Cougars since 1983-84, when Hakeem Olajuwon led the school to a National Championship game loss to Patrick Ewing-led Georgetown. Houston would set a new school record for single-season victories if it can get out of this weekend unscathed.

-- The Cougs lost in the American Athletic Conference final against Cincinnati, falling by double-digits for the first time. The 69-57 loss came as a result of 30 percent shooting, which included an 8-for-33 effort from 3-point range and an 11-for-18 showing from the free-throw line. The Cougs rebounded from their losses this season with a nine-point win over Wichita State and an 11-point victory over SMU, but both of those bounce-back games came at home. We'll see how they fare in Tulsa.

-- Houston won their first game in last year's NCAAs thanks to a Rob Gray last-second layup over San Diego State before getting denied a trip to the Sweet 16 on a Jordan Poole 3-pointer that game Michigan a 64-63 comeback win.

-- Georgia State (24-9 SU, 18-14 ATS) is a No. 14 seed after garnering a No. 15 seed last year. Cincinnati beat the Panthers 68-53 as a No. 2 in Nashville last season, but they hung around for a half before going cold. Star guard D'Marcus Simonds shot 10-for-20 from the field and scored 24 points, but the rest of his team shot 33 percent and produced just 29.

-- Simonds still struggles to shoot from beyond the arc and shot just 41.5 percent, a career-low, dealing with all the extra attention a reigning conference Player of the Year commands. Seniors Malik Benlevi, Devin Mitchell and Jeff Thomas are all back in addition to sophomore Kane Williams, who has really blossomed into a strong defender averaging two steals per game.

-- Corey Davis, Jr. leads Houston with 16.7 points per game but comes into the NCAAs nursing a hip injury. He's expected to play, but shot just 3-for-13 last time out against the Bearcats, making just two 3-pointers in 10 attempts in one of his worst outings of the season.

-- The Cougars rank among the nation's top 10 percent in 3-pointers made and attempted, while Georgia State was actually more prolific and ranks 15th in the country in 3-point percentage, shooting nearly 39 percent from beyond the arc. They shined in defending the 3-ball in Sun Belt play but will be tested here.
-- .

-- Houston has seen the under connect in its last three games, but the 'over' is 3-1 over Georgia State's last four.


East Region - San Jose, CA - SAP Center

#12 Liberty vs. #5 Mississippi State - 7:27 PM EST - truTV

Opening Odds: Mississippi State -7.5., 133.5

-- As of Friday morning, most books had adjusted their stance on Mississippi State (23-10 SU, 16-15-2 ATS) being such a heavy favorite over the A-Sun representative. Most have the number at 6.5 with it trending towards the 6-point range.

-- The Bulldogs had more wins than anyone else in the SEC outside of this year's big four of Tennessee, LSU, Kentucky and Auburn and were really strong in Starkville, but they limp into the NCAAs as losers of three of their last five.

-- Sophomore Nick Weatherspoon, younger brother of leading scorer Quinndary Weatherspoon, remains suspended and didn't even make the trip with the Bulldogs. He's missed nine games and Mississippi State has gone 6-3 without him. Older brother Quinndary is the Bulldogs' leader and top scorer (18.2 ppg) and was named First-Team All-SEC, while senior big man Aric Holman and excellent freshman Reggie Perry hold down the paint as 6-foot-10 towers inside. Guard Lamar Peters is streaky but capable of taking over games

-- The Bulldogs are in search of their first NCAA Tournament win since 2008, but must find a way to remain patient and avoid bad shots and turnovers against the Flames' pack-line defense, which has held opponents to 60.8 points per game, currently fifth-lowest in the country. Liberty (28-6 SU, 17-14 ATS) employs a deliberate pace but has held teams to 41.5 percent shooting, including 32 percent from 3-point range.

-- Scottie James leads Liberty's efforts up front and is consistently the biggest guy on the floor more often than not. He's barely 6-foot-8 and no shot blocker, which should illustrate how diligent the Flames are in utilizing position and technique to lock down opponents.

-- Head coach Ritchie McKay took New Mexico to the NCAA Tournament back in 2005 but lost to Villanova as a No. 12 seed despite the presence of future pro Danny Granger. He's leading the Flames to their first NCAA appearance since 2013. They're 0-3 in this event.

-- Counterpart Ben Howland has taken the Bulldogs to the NCAAs for the first time since 2009 and has plenty of experience, having reached two Final Fours with UCLA after also getting there with Pittsburgh and Northern Arizona. Mississippi State reached the NIT Final Four last year.

-- Rebounding will play a critical role in this game since Liberty is hasn't been too strong on the boards due to a lack of size and will be at a disadvantage in terms of athleticism. If they can't control the pace, they'll have issues slowing the game down like they failed to against Vanderbilt, Alabama, Georgetown and Austin Peay, surrendering an average of 80 points per game in the losses. Liberty beat UCLA 73-58 at Pauley Pavilion.

-- The 'under' is 8-3 in Mississippi State's last 11 games.

Today's biggest bets and line moves: Bettors like UC Irvine's odds vs. Kansas State
Patrick Everson

Max Hazzard and UC Irvine have gotten bettors' attention with a 13-0 SU and 9-3-1 ATS run. Kansas State opened -5.5 for Friday's NCAA Tournament tilt, but Anteaters money took the line to 4.5.

Sixteen games down on Thursday, 16 more coming up on Friday, as the NCAA Tournament rumbles through the Round of 64. Covers checks in on the action and line movement for a handful of contests, with insights from Scott Shelton, sportsbook supervisor at The Mirage on the Las Vegas Strip.

No. 13 UC Irvine vs. No. 4 Kansas State Wildcats – Open: -5.5; Move: -5; Move: -4.5

Kansas State won the Big 12 regular-season crown, but couldn’t carry that momentum through the conference tournament. The Wildcats (25-8 SU, 19-13-1 ATS) fended off Texas Christian in the quarterfinals, then fell to eventual tourney champ Iowa State 63-59 as 2.5-point semifinal pups.

UC Irvine is the pride of the Big West Conference, winning the regular-season and conference tourney titles. The Anteaters (30-5 SU, 20-13-1 ATS) haven’t lost since Jan. 16, going 13-0 SU and 9-3-1 ATS. In Saturdays’ Big West final, UC Irvine boatraced Cal State-Fullerton 92-65 laying 9 points.

“I was a little surprised UC Irvine was getting so much attention,” Shelton said of pointspread action at The Mirage and other MGM sportsbooks. “Money is 2/1, and the Anteaters are getting more love on the moneyline. They’re a popular pick. It’s pretty lopsided for UC Irvine.”

Tipoff for this South Region tilt is at 2 p.m. ET.


No. 12 Oregon Ducks vs. No. 5 Wisconsin Badgers – Open: -1.5 Move: -1; Move: +1; Move: Pick; Move: +1; Move: -1; Move: -1.5; Move: -2; Move: -2.5; Move: -2

Oregon rides into March Madness on an 8-0 SU and ATS streak, included a four-wins-in-four-days spree as the No. 6 seed in the Pac-12 tournament. The Ducks (23-12 SU, 20-15 ATS) hammered Pac-12 top seed Washington 68-48 as 2-point favorites in Saturday’s final.

Wisconsin won four of its last five regular-season games to finish fourth in the Big Ten. The Badgers (23-10 SU, 16-16-1 ATS) then edged Nebraska in the conference tourney quarterfinals before falling to No. 1 seed Michigan State 67-55 as 5.5-point underdogs in Saturday’s semis.

“The line has bounced back and forth. I’d say the money is leaning more toward Wisconsin now,” Shelton said of this 4:30 p.m. ET tip in the South Region. “But there’s a lot of money on both sides. More tickets on Oregon, more money on Wisconsin, a lot of tickets on both sides, and more moneyline tickets on Oregon. It’s a good two-way game.”


No. 10 Iowa Hawkeyes at No. 7 Cincinnati Bearcats – Open: -3; Move: -3.5; Move: -4

Cincinnati won three games in three days in last week’s American Athletic Conference tournament. The Bearcats (28-6 SU, 14-20 ATS) rolled past fellow NCAA Tourney team Houston 69-57 as 5-point underdogs in Sunday’s AAC final.

Iowa (22-11 SU, 13-20 ATS) managed to slide into the field of 64 despite a rough stretch ahead of Selection Sunday, as it went 1-5 SU and ATS in its last six games. The lone win was over Illinois in the Big Ten tourney opener, followed by a 74-53 loss to Michigan as 8-point pups in the quarterfinals.

“Seventy-six percent of the tickets and 82 percent of the money is on Cincinnati,” Shelton said of pointspread play on the first game of the day, a 12:15 p.m. ET South Region matchup. “The moneyline is lopsided too, 3/1 money on Cincinnati.”


No. 16 Iona Gaels vs. No. 1 North Carolina Tar Heels – Open: -24.5; Move: -24; Move: -23

North Carolina is rightly a monster favorite in this 9:20 p.m. ET start, as the No. 1 seed in the Midwest Region. The Tar Heels (27-6 SU, 21-10-2 ATS) were on an 8-0 SU run (6-2 ATS) before meeting Zion Williamson and Duke in the Atlantic Coast Conference tourney semis, where they lost 74-73 catching 4.5 points last Friday.

Iona earned an automatic bid to the Big Dance by winning the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference tournament. The Gaels (17-15 SU, 13-19 ATS) pounded Monmouth 81-60 laying 4 points in the March 11 final.

The line drop in this game is not indicative of where the cash is at MGM books.

“Eighty-two percent of the money is on North Carolina, and 72 percent of the tickets are on the Tar Heels,” Shelton said. “It’s a big public game, and they’re all over North Carolina.”


No. 14 Georgia State Panthers vs. No. 3 Houston Cougars – Open: -11.5; Move: -12; Move: -12.5

Houston claimed the AAC regular-season crown, but fell short of doubling up in the conference tourney. The Cougars (31-3 SU, 21-12-1 ATS) lost to Cincinnati 69-57 giving 5 points in Sunday’s final.

Georgia State won its last nine games, going 7-1-1 ATS while winning the Sun Belt Conference tourney. In Sunday’s final, the Panthers (24-9 SU, 17-14-1 ATS) topped Texas-Arlington 73-64 as 4-point favorites.

“Seventy-five percent of the money is on Houston, and 80 percent of the tickets are on Houston,” Shelton said of pointspread action for this 7:20 p.m. ET start in the Midwest Region.


No. 11 Arizona State Sun Devils vs. No. 6 Buffalo Bulls – Open: -5; Move: -4.5; Move: -5; Move: -4.5

Buffalo is on a 12-game win streak (5-7 ATS) entering this 4 p.m. ET meeting in the West Region. The Bulls (31-3 SU, 18-14-1 ATS) topped Bowling Green 87-73 as 11-point faves in the Mid-America Conference final Saturday.

Arizona State already has a win this week, having survived the First Four play-in round. The Sun Devils (23-10 SU, 18-14-1 ATS) beat St. John’s 74-65 as 1.5-point favorites Wednesday.

Much like Iona-North Carolina, the half-point tick downward in the line doesn’t tell the story of who bettors like here.

“We’re lopsided, it’s all Buffalo, 74 percent of the money and 64 percent of the tickets,” Shelton said of pointspread action.

Not at all a believer in the Washington Huskies, nor the Pacific Twelve Conference in general this season.

Washington claimed the regular season conference crown, but could not sew up the automatic bid, as the Huskies lost to the cooking Oregon Ducks by a lopsided, 68-48 score in the title game. Those 48 points have raised a "red flag" for me in backing this team from Seattle, as Mike Hopkins' team was also held to 47 points against the same Ducks in the regular season finale, and come into this game in Columbus with just a 69.8 points per game scoring average.

Utah State will need to contend with the 2-3 defense that Hopkins - who is a former Syracuse assistant - likes to employ, but this is an Aggies team that scored the basketball at 79 points per game this season. Utah State also grabbed a full 8 rebounds per game more than the weak-boarding Huskies (just 28.3 rebounds per game). Not only that, but Utah State does average over 17 assists per game which ranks in the Top-Ten nationally, so those additional passes are likely to yield plenty of open looks against the 2-3 zone.

The Aggies come into this first round game with 10 straight wins, and wins in 17 of their last 18 overall, while covering in 7 of their last 9 contests. Meanwhile the Huskies come in with just a 4-3 straight up mark their last 7 games. and a 1-6 against the spread mark in those 7 games.

A look at State's pre-conference slate shows losses to both Houston and Arizona State, but a 17-point win over another Big Dance team in St. Mary's. The Aggs are led by the Mountain West Player of the Year, Sam Merrill who averages over 21 points per game. They also have a rim-protector in the paint in 6' 10" Neemias Queta who grabs close to 9 rebounds per game to go along with his almost 12 points per game.

With the geographical distance between the schools marginal at best, I am sure the "little brother" from the Mountain West would love to step up and beat the "big brother" from the Pac 12! Based on the line the oddsmakers have posted on this game, not only do I think that can happen, so does Vegas.

Go with Utah State.

I do believe that this line on Virginia Tech is a bit inflated - likely in part because Hokies guard Justin Robinson is finally expected to be back in the lineup with a clean bill of health. Robinson last played on January 30th, so the real question is even though he is back, just how effective is his going to be? One thing for certain, Robinson will at least add to the depth of the Hokies rotation, and that is never a bad thing.


St. Louis is enjoying a hot run - 4 straight A-10 wins - to cop the automatic conference bid in what I thought was a rather weak conference. The Billikins will face a stiffer challenge in meeting up with one of the elite conference's in the land, as the ACC placed 3 of their teams on the # 1 seed line, and saw Florida State advance on Thursday,


The Bills did play a pair of out-of-conference games against the ACC, losing to both Pittsburgh and Florida State, and I see them falling in this spot to the Hokies in San Jose.


Virginia Tech's Kerry Blackshear goes 6' 10" and is a double-double marhine (8 of them during the regular season) that will be a real matchup issue for St. Louis tonight.


The Billikins defense is their calling card, as they have limited the opposition to just 63.7 points per game, but the Hokies are every bit as stingy on the stop end, as they allow 62.1 points per game.


It's been a nice run to get to this point for Travis Ford's team, but I think the end of the road comes in this game at the SAP Center on Friday night.


With their team leader Robinson back on the court, look for the Hokies to go on a run and take this game in a big way.


Gobblers for the cover.

After coming back from double-digits down and beating LeBron James and his Los Angeles Lakers 124-123 on St. Patrick's Day, the Knicks have gone back to being the usual door mat they have been this season, as they have lost by 36 points at Toronto, and by 21 points at home to Utah on Wednesday night.

For New York, that is loss # 10 of their last 11, and they have covered just 3 times in those 11 games, so even though they are getting double-digits at home this evening, chances they cover do not appear good.

It doesn't matter to me that Denver just played last night in Washington, it will only be a matter of time before one of the elite teams in the West, heck, in all of the NBA puts the pedal-to-the-metal and leaves the Knickerbockers in their wake.

Denver just won at Washington last night, as they made it 5 wins in a row, and while they failed to cover the impost, the Nuggets are in a dogfight with the Golden State Warriors for the # 1 seed in the Western Conference and come into tonight's meeting at Madison Square Garden 1/2 game behind the Warriors for that slot.

The Nuggets have been the straight up winner in 7 of the last 8 series meetings with the Knickerbockers, and they have also been the spread winner in 6 of the last 8 series meetings versus the lowly New Yorkers.

Denver does have a Sunday stop at Indiana before they fly back to Colorado for a Tuesday home date with Detroit. The Nuggets will then head back out on the road for a pair of tough Western Conference meetings in Houston and Oklahoma City, so even though this is the second in as many night on the road, this is also the easiest game on the schedule in a while for the Nuggets.

I say go ahead and lay it, as the Nuggets keep pace with the idle Warriors.

All the talk leading up to the big dance were on a few teams and Oregon is one of them and I personally love to go against the trendy bracket pick. Wisconsin has been very good all year and slipped at the end of the season. This line is moving the other way as the money is 50/50 but the big bettors have come down with Wisconsin. Love the Badgers here to win straight.

Point Spread: +5½/-110 Ohio State

The muddled Ohio St. defense will keep this young Iowa State from getting the ball downcourt the way they want to. I think Iowa St is very tired and should not be favored here in this one. Throughout conference play it was clear that the Big Ten was head and shoulders over the Big 12. One of the teams that never could clear its own hurdle was Iowa State. In fact, to wrap up the regular season the Cyclones had lost six of their last eight games and being young they do not have the experience for a gritty tough Ohio St team here in tournament play. I'm backing OHIO ST as our Friday free pick plus the points tonight.
