                    Indian Cowboy's Picks For College Basketball




                    3-Unit Play. #850. Take Denver -18.5 over Southern Utah (Friday @ 6pm est).

                    3-Unit Play. #855. Take Morehead State +13 over North Dakota State (Friday @ 8pm est).

                    3-Unit Play. #845. Take Southern Methodist -2.5 over Wagner (Friday @ 9pm est).

                    3-Unit Play. #835. Middle Tennessee State -6 over Vanderbilt (Friday @ 9pm est).

                    Denver has one of the most exciting offenses in all of college basketball and they have one of the best splits in the country as it relates to their offense. This is a team that has played a very difficult schedule against the likes of California, Colorado St, Southern Miss, Stanford and recently Wyoming all of which are top 100 schools and 11, 7, 11, 13 and 10. It goes to show their level of consistency against top caliber teams both away and at home. Now they face a team outside the top 300 coming off a loss and this game is similar to their Nebraska-Omaha contest in which they won 82-47. Denver is ranked top 75 in the nation in defense and they face a Southern Utah team who is one of the worst teams in America in turnover percentage outside the top 340. This makes for what could be a blowout scenario this evening. Morehead State is 5-6 but they will be up for this game against North Dakota State. Morehead State lost to this team 57-69 earlier this year and they do have revenge on their minds. I like the fact that this team probably took South Dakota lightly and did not play well as a favorite but they do play well as an underdog. For example, they lost by just 11 to Kentucky on the road, lost by 3 to Marshall a top 150 team on the road and it is very difficult to get to play a team twice, especially once you've already beaten on their home floor. I expect this to be a close contest but likely a single digit win for North Dakota State. Morehead State has 6 upperlcassman that contribute on a regular basis and in what could be a low scoring contest, getting double-digits is useful. Larry Brown's team comes off tough back to back losses against the likes of Rhode Island and Utah on the road and Wagner is likely a welcome site here. SMU is top 15 in the nation 3 pointers and after losing two difficult games, I can see them getting back to their swing of things here. Wagner is outside the top 300 both in field goal percentage and in turnover percentage to boot and their calling card is their defense. If you take their win against Princeton which was against a top 150 team at home in which both teams scored under 50 points, this team has not beat another top 200 team primary because of having a very stringent half court offense. Given SMU's ability to score with offensive ease in their set, I think they likely win this game and cover the spread as well. This is also SMU's first back to back losses with Brown and I like their ability to bounce-back here. The state of Tennessee athletics is always contentious and although Middle Tennessee State is not even considered the step-child of Tennessee after Vanderbilt, they do have a very good basketball program. Middle Tennessee State is a top 40 program this year who have only lost to top 30 Belmont, top 75 Akron and a top 5 team in my book in Florida. This team has beaten the likes of Ole Miss which gave Coach Kennedy's team their only loss of the year as the Rebels of Ole Miss are 8-1 this year. Middle Tennessee State has revenge from last year's game and this is their only chance in many ways to make their program shine more. Vanderbilt is playing better right now beating Xavier on the road, but they are 1-3 against top 100 teams this year and 0-2 against top 50 teams this year straight up. I'm not sure if Vandy can keep up with Middle Tennessee State's offense here and State also features a top 50 defense to boot. I like State by double-digits here and there is a reason why they are favored over Vanderbilt.

                    3-Unit Play. #814. Take Memphis -10.5 over Dallas (Friday @ 8pm est).

                    The Orlando Magic have revenge from a 97-86 loss to Toronto on the road earlier this year. They took this team a bit lightly and it cost them. The Magic are playing well with their rotation of players in their prime including Nelson, Affalo, Davis. Honestly, this is a core that any GM would be pleased with and the Magic have that core along with solid role players such as Reddick, Nicholson and Ayon right now. This team is led by fresh blood with a new coaching staff and you can tell the effort is there for this squad from start to finish every game. This might explain the fact that this team is just 1 game below .500 now. The Magic have won 4 straight including beating the upstart Warriors, a good Minnesota team, Charlotte on the road and Washington. They didn't particularly play well against Washington in their last game winning by 7 so I suspect they will be more focused here with revenge against Toronto. The Raptors have been playing great basketball of late as Bargnani called out his team to a foreign newspaper saying that his team was essentially horrendous and the worst in the NBA. Bargnani is still out indefinitely to his elbow injury so he's not really helping the cause. Since that comment, the Raptors have gone on to win 4 straight including Dallas, Houston at Cleveland and Detroit. But, I do think that streak likely comes to an end here with a focused Magic team and the Raptors also have the Spurs on the horizon in their next game so they might be looking ahead as well. I wish the Mavericks had not gotten crushed on TNT last night in front of the nation but a rematch of the 2011 NBA Finals was not much of a contest. The Heat just tore them up. I'm sure the Grizzlies were watching that contest and although I do think Carlisle gets his players up with motivation for this game in the first half, I just think the Grizzlies will be too much. There is only so much Mayo can do to carry this team and I'm not sure if the Mavericks can handle both Gasol and Randolph down low along with the depth of Memphis with the development of Ellington and others. Don't be surprised if the Grizzlies look to make a statement too to let the Heat know that they too can dominate when they'd like to as the Grizzlies are one of the top 5 teams in the league that can contend for a Title this year. The Mavericks are just 2-7 ATS when facing teams with a winning percentage of greater than 60% this year.

                      Ball State Cardinals vs. UCF Knights

                      This was a banner season for the MAC, and one of its teams will be on display in the Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl Friday when the Ball State Cardinals (9-3, 9-3 ATS) take on the UCF Knights (9-4, 6-7 ATS) at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, FL at 7:30 ET on ESPN. Ball State is one of six MAC teams to make it to a bowl game this year, of course highlighted by the BCS busters from Northern Illinois crashing the Orange Bowl. When we last saw UCF, they took Tulsa to overtime on the Conference USA Championship Game before falling just short 33-27.

                      Ball State comes in on a six game winning streak after losing its first two MAC games this season, and those two loses came to Northern Illinois and Kent State, who just happened to be the two combatants in the MAC Championship Game. The Cardinals third loss this season came out of conference on the road at Clemson, so Ball State does not have a bad loss all year. The Cardinals ranked 22nd in the country in total offense and they averaged 214.2 rushing yards per game. That is significant here because rushing defense probably cost UCF the Conference USA championship as the Knights allowed 290 rushing yards to Tulsa in that title game and they finished 64th in rushing defense for the season allowing 162.4 yards per game. Now the quarterbacking for Ball State in this game was a concern for a while as the starter Keith Wenning strained his Achilles in the second to last game of the season and his backup Kelly Page suffered a concussion in the season finale. Both quarterbacks are now listed as probable though, meaning that Wenning, who had a spiffy 143.8 passer rating while starting the first five games of Ball State's winning streak, will probably take the start.

                      UCF averaged 35.2 points and 400.8 yards per game this season, but Conference USA was not very strong, resulting in the Knights having a schedule that ranked only 115th in SOS according to the Sagarin Ratings. Granted this is almost a home game with St. Petersburg being only about 100 miles from the UCF campus, but Ball State was 5-2 in true road games this year so this semi-road game probably will not bother the Cardinals much. Also, if the UCF run defense does not improve, and there is no reason to believe it will, Ball State could control the clock in this contest to silence the UCF faithful that made the short trip. When the Knights do get the ball, quarterback Blake Bortles has not been sharp lately while completing less than half of his passes in two of his last three games. He completed only 14-of-32 passes for 194 yards vs. Tulsa in the C-USA Championship.

                      Ball State is a sizzling 19-7 ATS in its last 26 non-conference games, as well as 6-1 ATS in their last seven games after gaining more than 200 rushing yards in their previous game. Conversely, UCF is 8-21 ATS in its last 29 games after allowing more than 200 rushing yards in its previous game.
