Rotation #529-530
Providence -5.5 over Xavier
Trevon Bluiett is out tonight, Davis left the team and Sumner is out for the season.* Things could not be looking any worse for this Xavier team.* Xavier crushed providence earlier in the year and tonight it’s time for payback.* Look for the Friars to build on their win against top ranked Butler tonight.* Take Providence.

Rotation #537-538
Temple*-5.5 over*ECU
Temple has had better rosters in the past, but never count out a Fran Dunphy coached team.* I can’t get over ECU losing to USF.* South Florida has to be one of the worst teams in the country with that line up and there is just no way I can trust a team like the Pirates who can’t make a foul shot or a three pointer for the life of them.* This team is without their best scorer and things are not looking good for them.* Take Temple.

Rotation #577-578
San Jose State +7.5 over Fresno State
San Jose State held Fresno to a season low 62 pts the last time they played and turned them over 23 times.* Fresno is just running on fumes as the had a quadruple overtime game, players who had the flu and their top two players Edo and Russo in and out of the line up with suspension and injury.* This is a team that just is not firing on all cylinders right now and its’ hard to get healthy in the middle of the season.* Look for the Spartans to have a chance for another win.* Take San Jose State
My 40 Dime selection is on Maryland over Northwestern. The current line on this game at 10:45 a.m. eastern is +2 in Vegas and offshore. Be sure to shop around for the best line available.
"Absolutely the wrong team is favored here"
ANALYSIS
Absolutely the wrong team is favored here.
Off a really bad home loss to an inferior Illinois team 68-61 the Wildcats went into Wisconsin catching +9 1/2 and they pulled off the outright upset 66-59.
Now, off the biggest win in school history, the Northwestern now has to get right back up and play another game with the same intensity.
Problem is they are facing perhaps the best road team in the Big Ten and to make matters worse, they have do to it without their leading scorer.
Scott Lindsay will miss his 4th game due to mononuclerosis and although a struggling Wisconsin team couldn't exploit that, Maryland will, just like Purdue and Illinois did.
This is a Terrapins team that is 6-1 both SU and ATS on the highway this year winning at Georgetown, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and Ohio State.
The only blemesh was a 70-64 loss at Penn State but who can blame them there: They just lost a devastating heartbreaker at home to Purdue 73-72 in a game they never should have lost.
They got back on track at home over Ohio State 86-77 covering the 7 1/2 number and they will handle their business today.
Look for the Terps to take Bryant McIntosh out of the game and with Lindsay out, it's going to be a long night for the home team here.
If you can't beat Illinois at home, you sure as hell am not going to do it against this Maryland team. Not as good on the road as they are.
The final nale in the coffin is the fact the road team is 4-0 ATS last 4 in this series and tonight it goes to 5.
This little doggy packs a big bite tonight in the midwest.
