4-Unit Play. #543. Take South Carolina State +13 over Morgan State (Monday @ 9pm est).
South Carolina State is a 6-23 team coached by Tim Carter. They are led by Chasen Campbell who is a junior and a slew of other upperclassman in Toombs, Hezekiah and Adams. Given that senior leadership is always important in tournament play, it is worthwhile to have that as they face a good Morgan State team. The last time these two teams hooked up, South Carolina State hung in there and lost by 16 points on the road. This is a team that comes off a win against Delaware State and they will use that as a catalyst as they move into the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Tournament. Tood Bozeman's Morgan State team comes into the tournament at 14-14 but on a slew of conference wins as they went from 3-5 in conference play to 10-6 currently. Having beat this team by 16 at home I suspect that in a more of a neutral atmosphere in a conference tournament, I like State to hang tough here against Morgan State. This is a good public fade on a small Monday College Card as well and on a total of 132 it is not a bad idea to grab the 13 points here. I like South Carolina State to hang tough here plus the points.

6-Unit Play. #504. Take San Antonio Spurs -2 over OKC Thunder (Monday @ 8:35pm est).
It is always frightening to go against the Thunder. I get it. But, there are times when the price and time is right and today is probably one such time. The Spurs don't lose often and they lose even less when they come off a loss. Combine that with one of the ugliest losses of the year if not the entire last decade of Coach Pop if you will and that makes for a decent bounce-back here. The Spurs were manhandled by the Blazers (losing twice in a row to them now), by a score of 106-136. It was ugly to say the least. This is a big bounce-back game for this team but more importantly, its a big revenge game to boot. The Spurs lost to the Thunder if you remember 93-107 at home back on December. Combine that with Tony Parker still being out, look for this team to step-up around the fact that Parker will not be playing as I've always believed teams rally when their star or one of their star players go down as it relates to ATS. Put this loss in perspective. When the Spurs lost to Golden State 101-107 in overtime as a small favorite, they bounced-back to beat the Suns in the next game by 10 on the road. Then, the Suns had revenge and beat them on the road. Then the Spurs bounced-back and trucked the Kings 130-102 at home covering the 14.5 point spread. Now as they come off one of the worst losses of the year if not the worst, look for them to bounce-back against the Thunder who they have revenge against as well. I like the fact the public is on OKC here to a tune of 65% as this is a good public fade and with these factors weighing in, its not a bad opportunity for the Spurs to step-up here and pick up the win. The Thunder are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games when facing a team with a winning percentage of greater than 60% at home and the Spurs are 13-4-1 ATS when coming off a straight up loss of 10 points or more.

Pass. With just 2 games on the docket today, and coming off a win, let's take a pass and look to better opportunities later in the week. We'll likely have 2 selections later in the week to make up for this Pass.
