RIVER CITY SHARPS
Last night couldn’t have set this play up any better. Celtics gave the undefeated Warriors everything they wanted, taking them to 2OT before the Warriors finally prevailed. Curry looked tired in the latter stages of the game and they are already down two starters. We really like the Bucks in this spot to keep it close. The Sharps say…

1-Unit Play. FIRST HALF: Take #520 George Washington (-9.5) over Rutgers (4:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)


1-Unit Play. Take 'Over' 124.5 UL-Monroe at Penn State (2 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)
1-Unit Play. Take #529 UL-Monroe (+8.5) over Penn State (2 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)


1-Unit Play. Take #522 Connecticut (-8) over Ohio State (Noon, Saturday, Dec. 12)


The Buckeyes are not good. They are young and they are learning. And hopefully today the Huskies teach them the one where a team is pissed off about their nationally televised flop earlier in the week and bounces back with a fury. Connecticut didn't come to play against Maryland in NYC this week. Now they are back home against a big-name Big Ten team. Ohio State is playing its first true road game here and I don't know that they are up to it. Thad Matta has been awful about playing early season road games the past few years, and as a result the Buckeyes have been a disaster in their first true road test over the last few years. Ohio State has lost to UT-Arlington and Louisiana Tech at home this year. If they can lose to these teams they can lose against a pissed-off Connecticut team.


1-Unit Play. Take #525 Ohio (-1.5) over Cleveland State (1 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)


No bet against Cleveland State is a bad bet. This team is young and rebuilding and they have lost four straight games. Their only wins this year have come against a D-II school and a weak Rider group. They've gotten lit up by any Top 150 team that they've played, outside of a four-point home loss to Kent State. Ohio is not great. But they've been OK. They have a slight experience advantage and a definite size advantage, and I really like how this kid Jaaron Simmons is playing. Ohio has nice balance in its scoring, with four guys scoring in double figures. CSU has two guys above 10 points per. They really struggle to put the ball in the hole. Ohio is better and more experienced, and since this one is on a neutral court where Ohio is more familiar playing (Quicken Loans Arena is where the MAC Tournament is held) I think that gives them an advantage.


1-Unit Play. Take #529 UL-Monroe (+8.5) over Penn State (2 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)


1-Unit Play. Take #537 UNC-Wilmington (+11) over Georgetown (2:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)


Georgetown has overachieved this year. They have wins over Syracuse and Wisconsin, and near-misses against Duke and Maryland. They've shown an ability to play on the top end. But they have also shown an ability to not give a damn about games like this. This is the same Hoyas group that lost at home to Radford and didn't cover the spread against Brown or Maryland-Eastern Shore. Wilmington is really athletic and they have guys that can put the ball in the hole. They have six guys scoring eight or more per game and two guys that are averaging at least 14 per game. Last year the Seahawks went to Louisville and only lost by 11. I think they can hang around with the Hoyas here.


1-Unit Play. Take #541 Bowling Green (+7) over Detroit (1 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)


1-Unit Play. Take #543 Eastern Michigan (+19) over Louisville (2 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)


1-Unit Play. Take #545 Arizona State (+13) over Kentucky (3 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)


4-Unit Play. Take #550 California (-6) over St. Mary's (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)


I hate St. Mary's. I do. They've cost me a lot of money over the years. And I've won a lot of money with them as well. They are a team that I have learned not to go big on or against. However, that was the old St. Mary's. This year's team is one of the weakest Gaels groups that I've seen in over a decade. They are 6-0, but all six of those games have come at home and all six of those games have come against relatively weak competition (Stanford and UC-Irvine are just OK in my book). Now the Gaels are on the road. And admittedly they are going to be stoked for this game because it is a chance to knock off an in-state school from the Pac-12. But Cal is much better. And they haven't played up to their potential yet. The Golden Bears are 0-2 ATS in their last two games; winning both but coming up short at the window. I think that's helped to water this game down. Cal has had a little time to breath after flopping in Vegas. And their big time games are just around the corner. So it is time for Cuonzo Martin to start cracking the whip and getting this team geared up.


2-Unit Play. TEASER: Take #552 Texas A&M (-4) AND Take #522 Connecticut (-3)


1-Unit Play. Take #554 James Madison (-7.5) over George Mason (4 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)


7-Unit Play. Take #556 New Mexico (-4) over Northern Iowa (9 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)


I think that Northern Iowa is somewhat of a fraud. They are good. Really good, by mid-major standards, and one of the three best teams in a very competitive Missouri Valley. But they are going to lose here. They are absolutely going to lose. The Panthers are getting a lot of mileage out of their win over North Carolina on Nov. 21. I could write paragraphs about why that win was an outlier. But instead take my word for it: it was an outlier. In the meantime, the Panthers have been unimpressive in their last two road games, losing by 15 at Richmond and then plodding their way to an eight-point win against an overrated George Mason club. Now they are going to The Pit, a very difficult place for a visitor to get a win. And I think that if the Panthers don't win here they aren't going to cover. UNI is not nearly as good as they were last year. They lost a lot of talent. And even though Wes Washpun has been playing great basketball he is not going to outduel New Mexico's excellent backcourt duo of Cullen Neal and Elijah Brown, who will have the confidence of the home court behind them. New Mexico is big on the interior and they have proven that they can hold up against larger teams, winning at NMSU and playing OK against both USC and Purdue on the road. They lost to Purdue their last time out, but the Boilermakers are stacked. New Mexico will be up for this game precisely because they know Northern Iowa has beaten North Carolina. And UNI's travel - three days in Virginia, then home, then out to New Mexico - is another advantage for our side. New Mexico is the better team. They are at home. They have some modest situational advantages. I like the Lobos to win this one by double digits.


1-Unit Play. Take #557 North Carolina (-6) over Texas (5 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)


1-Unit Play. FIRST HALF: Take #562 Michigan State (-5) over Florida (6 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)
2-Unit Play. Take #562 Michigan State (-9.5) over Florida (6 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)


2-Unit Play. Take #563 Drake (+8.5) over Nevada (7 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)


1-Unit Play. Take #565 Oakland (+5) over Toledo (7 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)


1-Unit Play. Take #568 Boise State (-3) over Oregon (8 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)


1-Unit Play. Take #573 UL-Lafayette (+2.5) over Louisiana Tech (1 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)


1-Unit Play. Take #583 Arkansas-Little Rock (+4) over DePaul (10 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)


2-Unit Play. Take #587 BYU (+5.5) over Colorado (8 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)


2-Unit Play. Take #591 UNLV (-5) over UC-Riverside (7 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)


3-Unit Play. Take #593 UCLA (+8) over Gonzaga (10 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)
I must be the only guy in the country that doesn't like Gonzaga. The Bulldogs have an outstanding frontcourt. Kyle Wiltjer is overrated, but there's no denying that he can score. Domantas Sabonis is a future pro. But this team isn't the same without Przemek Karnowski, who has missed three straight games. They aren't as big or as strong without that beast center in the middle, and the Bulldogs have gone 0-3 ATS without him. Gonzaga almost lost to Montana the last time out and they did lose to an erratic Arizona team at home once already this year. UCLA has a win over Kentucky under its belt. If they can beat the Wildcats - a team with a big size advantage - they can beat Gonzaga. And if I think that the Bruins can win this game outright I will gladly take the points and roll with the dog in this one.


2-Unit Play. Take #609 Delaware (-1) over Marist (7 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)
Marist is bad. They are so, so bad. The Red Foxes are one of the worst programs in the country and this year they are especially bad because they are one of the youngest teams in the country. Marist starts three freshmen and these guys have gotten wrecked lately, losing by 26 at Vermont, by 35 against Iona, and by 22 against Albany. Delaware is not a bad squad. They have wins over Bradley ad South Florida, and that same Iona team ?only? beat them by 15 points. Monte Ross has a decent little program and the Hens just have more physical talent going into this game. They are favored for a reason, and I think Delaware will find a way to get this win.


1-Unit Play. Take #613 Montana (+10.5) over Washington (6 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)


1-Unit Play. Take #617 Western Carolina (+15) over Davidson (7 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)


1-Unit Play. Take #622 Memphis (-17) over Manhattan (8 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12)


1-Unit Play. Take #626 Arkansas (-14.5) over Tennessee Tech (8 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12
