Perennial college hoops powerhouses to fade down the stretch
By CHASE RUTTIG

It’s hard for a program to make the NCAA tournament each year. With mid-major schools getting stronger and small-conference kings joining the big leagues, long tournament streaks are coming to an end each March as power schools settle for the NIT or worse.

However, some of these perennial powerhouses still command the respect of books and bettors – whether they deserve it or not. That opens up value to play against these teams in the home stretch of the season. Here are three NCAA tournament staples not playing up to their lofty standards.

Georgetown Hoyas (16-11, SU, 13-13 ATS)

Georgetown may have a small chance to make the NCAA tournament, but things aren’t looking good. The Hoyas are sitting in the bottom half of the Big East standings in a year where the conference lost the likes of Louisville, UConn, Syracuse, Notre Dame, and Pittsburgh.

Poor play in a conference that no longer has the same name value it once did means that Georgetown likely needs to win its final three games against tough opponents in Marquette, Creighton and Villanova as well as make a deep conference tournament run to make the NCAA cut. Bettors will have to decide if the Hoyas want to fight or give up heading into March. Back-to-back losses to Seton Hall and St. John's could give Georgetown backers their answer.

Indiana Hoosiers (15-11 SU, 12-12-1 ATS)

Like the Hoyas, Indiana needs to win out and make a deep conference tournament run to even put itself on the NCAA bubble. Losers of three of their last four it doesn't appear the Hooisers believe they can make some magic and sneak their way into the dance, as evidenced by their recent 2-4 ATS trend. A tough stretch where they play Wisconsin, Iowa, Ohio State and Nebraska could get ugly if Indiana chooses to fold up its red-and-white striped tent early.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish (14-14 SU, 8-16-2 ATS)

While not as big a basketball name as Georgetown or their in-state brethren Indiana, the Fighting Irish enjoyed four consecutive NCAA tournament appearances before leaving the Big East for the ACC alongside Syracuse and Pittsburgh.

Things started out strong with a big win over Duke at home but quickly crumbled. The Irish are 3-6-1 ATS in their last 10 games and fading down the stretch more than anyone right now after enjoying nearly a half a decade of tournament quality teams in South Bend. Notre Dame wraps up against Georgia Tech, Pitt and North Carolina.

Bank Shots: NBA's Weekly Betting News and Notes

Each week, we look back on the NBA betting scene and give you the best - and worst - basketball bets, as well as some spots to keep an eye on with the upcoming schedule.

For the week of Feb. 17-23

Hottest ATS - Miami Heat (3-0 SU, 3-0 ATS)

The Heat came into the week facing three straight statement games - including back-to-back showdowns with their opponents from the 2011 and 2012 NBA Finals, and an encounter with one of the top defensive teams in the league. All Miami did is earn a double-digit victory in Dallas, wallop the Thunder in Oklahoma City and return home to cruise past the Chicago Bulls despite playing without superstar LeBron James. The Heat are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine overall and expect James (broken nose) back this week.

Coldest ATS - Oklahoma City Thunder (0-2 SU, 0-2 ATS)

The Thunder's week was short and anything but sweet, as they welcomed back point guard Russell Westbrook with a pair of clunkers against the Heat and Los Angeles Clippers. Oklahoma City struggled to do much of anything against the Heat, losing by 22 after going in as a three-point favorite. The Thunder ran into the opposite problem in an eight-point loss to the Clippers - they had no trouble scoring, but allowed Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and Co. to hang a whopping 125 points on them.

Best 'Over' play - Los Angeles Clippers (1-2 SU, 3-0 O/U)

No matter how much the over-under rises for Clippers games, Lob City continues to deliver on the "Over". It had a perfect week coming out of the All-Star break, losing a 113-103 decision to the San Antonio Spurs, dropping a 102-96 decision to the Memphis Grizzlies and combining with Oklahoma City to score 242 points in Sunday's shootout win. Chris Paul looks sensational in his return to injury, while Blake Griffin is averaging better than 30 points per game so far in February.

Best 'Under' play - New Orleans Pelicans (0-3 SU, 0-3 O/U)

The Pelicans were expected to be one of the higher-scoring units in the NBA coming into the season, with three talented guards and a dangerous froncourt in Anthony Davis and Ryan Anderson. That hasn't panned out due in part to injuries to Anderson and Jrue Holiday, and things reached a new low last week with New Orleans failing to break 93 points in any of its three losses. Davis has shown to be a star in the making, but the secondary scoring just hasn't been there of late.

Surveying the schedule

Don't look now, but the Golden State Warriors - yep, the Warriors - are in the top 10 in the NBA in fewest points allowed (98.6). That new-found commitment to the other end of the court will be put to the test, as the Warriors open a six-game Eastern Conference road trip Monday night against the Detroit Pistons. With games in Chicago, New York and Toronto to follow, Golden State could find the sledding tough before wrapping things up next week against Indiana and Boston.

This Week's Best NHL Spot Bet Opportunities
Sean Murphy

Letdown spot

This might be a bit of a stretch, but letdown spots are difficult to find following a two-plus week break - with that being said, I believe Carey Price could be in for a less-than-stellar effort against the Red Wings on Wednesday night (provided he starts).

There's obviously a substantial drop-off from Team Canada's stellar defense to the Habs shaky blue line corps. Price will find that out in a hurry.

The Red Wings are banged-up but still pose a formidable challenge.

Lookahead spot

Toronto will begin its post-Olympic journey with a stop in Long Island to face the Islanders on Thursday night. Here's thinking the Leafs will have one eye on Saturday's showdown in Montreal, however.

The break couldn't have come at a much worse time for the Leafs, as they had been rolling prior, winners of five of their last six games. Facing a John Tavares-less Isles squad likely won't draw a ton of motivation on Thursday night - even if it is their first game in weeks.

Schedule spot

I'll back a team in a favorable scheduling spot for a change this week.

The Ducks will have been home and cool for nearly three weeks (those that didn't compete in Sochi at least) when they take the ice on Friday night against the Blues, and boy has Anaheim had St. Louis' number this season, taking both previous meetings - both in enemy territory no less.

St. Louis travels to Vancouver for a tough matchup with the Canucks on Wednesday before shuffling off to Anaheim.
