Big East Conference Championship betting preview and odds: Providence vs. Villanova

Providence Friars vs. Villanova Wildcats (-12, 149.5)

Game to be played at Madison Square Garden, New York City, New York

No. 3 Villanova is in the Big East Tournament championship game for the fourth straight season and aims to win its third title during that stretch when it faces Providence on Saturday. The second-seeded Wildcats rolled past sixth-seeded Butler on Friday, shortly after the fifth-seeded Friars upset top seed Xavier in overtime.

Providence kicked off Friday's action by rallying from a 17-point, second-half deficit to stun the Musketeers - and all but clinch its NCAA Tournament spot in the process. Of course, the Friars can secure an automatic bid if they pull off another upset - and they already know they can defeat the Wildcats. Providence lost the first matchup against Villanova this season by 20 but bounced back for a 76-71 victory last month behind Kyron Cartwright's 17 points. The Wildcats, meanwhile, saw all five starters score in double figures on Friday en route to an 87-68 rout of Butler and now are in excellent shape to earn a No. 1 seed in the Big Dance.

TV: 6:30 p.m. ET, FOX

BETTING STATS:



BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVES: Villanova opened as 12.5-point chalk and that number has yet to move. The total hit the betting board at 149.5 and hasn't budged as of Saturday morning.

MATCHUP CHART:



ABOUT PROVIDENCE: The Friars have won three straight games by a total of 11 points, and each of their last seven triumphs have come by five or fewer. Alpha Diallo and Rodney Bullock each registered 17 points on Friday while Cartwright scored 15 despite going 6-for-17 from the field. Nate Watson, who recorded two points in four minutes during Thursday's contest, poured in 14 in 28 minutes against Xavier and will be a concern for Villanova's young front line.

ABOUT VILLANOVA: The Wildcats are led by their two terrific guards - Jalen Brunson, the potential choice for National Player of the Year, and Mikal Bridges, a potential 2018 lottery pick. Brunson has shot well in three straight games following a multi-week slump, while Bridges has drained multiple 3-pointers in eight straight contests - scoring at least 18 points in each of those games. Freshman forward Omari Spellman registered 12 points and 12 boards - matching his second-highest rebound total of the season - in Friday's win and also drained multiple 3-pointers for the sixth time in seven contests.

TRENDS:

* Friars are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.
* Wildcats are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games.
* Over is 12-2 in Wildcats last 14 vs. Big East.
* Friars are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

TIP-INS:

* Providence won the Big East Tournament in 1994 and 2014, while Villanova's titles came in 1995, 2015 and 2017.
* Brunson committed more than three turnovers in a game once this season - a seven-turnover performance in the second meeting with Providence.
* The Wildcats have won 10 of their last 11 games in the Big East Tournament.

Big 12 Conference Championship betting preview and odds: West Virginia vs. Kansas

West Virginia Mountaineers vs. Kansas Jayhawks (-1, 153.5)

Game to be played at Sprint Center, Kansas City, Missouri

Malik Newman was a top-10 recruit for Mississippi State back in spring of 2015, but it is Kansas who is reaping the rewards of his talent nearly three years later. The 6-3 sophomore attempts to put the finishing touches on his brilliant offensive display at the Big 12 Tournament on Saturday when the ninth-ranked and top-seeded Jayhawks face No. 18 West Virginia in the championship game at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.

After averaging 12 points per game while playing a complementary role behind Devonte' Graham and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk for most of the season, Newman has stepped up in a featured role this weekend. The Big 12 Newcomer of the Year burned Oklahoma State for a career-high 30 points in Thursday's quarterfinal victory and followed it up with a team-high 22-point performance in Friday's 83-67 victory over Kansas State in the semifinals. The third-seeded Mountaineers advanced to the conference tournament title game for the third straight season Friday, riding a 10-for-20 effort from 3-point range to defeat No. 13 Texas Tech 66-63 in the other semifinal matchup. West Virginia has dropped three straight meetings to Kansas despite holding a double-digit lead at some point in each contest.

TV: 6 p.m. ET, ESPN

BETTING STATS:



BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVES: The Jayhawks opened as 1-point favorites and that number has held firm. The total hit the board at 153.5 and yet to move off the opening number.

MATCHUP CHART:



ABOUT WEST VIRGINIA: Daxter Miles Jr. connected on 24 of his first 97 3-point attempts in 21 games prior to missing his only game of the season due to an illness on Jan. 31, but he is 25-for-51 in 11 outings since his return, including 10-for-15 over the first two contests of this event. Backcourt mate and fellow senior Jevon Carter overcame some early foul trouble to reach double figures for the seventh straight game Friday, but the program's all-time steals leader was shut out in that department for only the third time this season. Sophomore forward Sagaba Konate was a thorn in the side of the Jayhawks in their two regular-season meetings, averaging 12.5 points, eight rebounds and four blocks.

ABOUT KANSAS: Freshman center Silvio De Sousa, who wasn't cleared to play by the NCAA until Jan. 13, continued to take advantage of his increased playing time this weekend with Udoka Azubuike (knee) sidelined and is averaging 9.5 rebounds in 17 minutes per game in Kansas City. Graham (17.3 points) has failed to reach his season scoring average in four straight outings and is 13-for-42 from the field over that time, but the Big 12 Player of the Year has made up for his struggles by averaging nine assists per game. Mykhailiuk shot 4-of-8 beyond the arc against the Wildcats to complement Newman's 5-for-8 showing from long-range and has drained on at least 40 percent of his 3-point attempts in seven straight contests.

TRENDS:

* Mountaineers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win.
* Jayhawks are 6-0-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
* Over is 4-1 in Mountaineers last 5 overall.
* Over is 5-0 in Jayhawks last 5 games following a ATS win.

TIP-INS:

* Kansas has won the conference tournament seven times in 15 years under coach Bill Self and is 10-2 all-time in the Big 12 championship game.
* The Mountaineers are eyeing their first conference tournament title victory since winning the Big East in 2010.
* Newman needs 16 points Saturday to break Paul Pierce's school record (67) for the most in a single conference tournament.

AAC Conference Tournament Semifinals betting preview and odds

It's semifinal Saturday in the AAC conference tournament at Amway Center in Orlando. The first semifinal will feature the top seeded Cincinnati Bearcats taking on the Memphis Tigers and the later game will see the Wichita State Shockers going to battle with the Houston Cougars.

Tournament to be played at Amway Center in Orlando, Florida.

Memphis Tigers vs Cincinnati Bearcats (-16.5, 131)

Eighth-ranked Cincinnati continues to prove that it can win games without crisp performances on the offensive end. The tough-minded Bearcats are the top seed in the American Athletic Conference Tournament and have a date with fifth-seeded Memphis on Saturday in the semifinals of the Orlando-based event.

Cincinnati, which still has an outside shot of earning a No. 1 seed in next week's NCAA Tournament, has scored 62 and 61 points in its last two games while shooting a collective 41.4 percent in those contests, including a meager 8-of-35 from 3-point range.

Memphis advanced to the semifinals thanks to Kareem Brewton's Jr.'s buzzer-beater in Friday's 67-64 triumph against Tulsa. Brewton's high-arching 3-pointer swished through the net, giving the Tigers a third chance to solve the Bearcats this season after Cincinnati won the first two meetings comfortably. Memphis scored 48 points in each meeting with Cincinnati this season. In those games, the Tigers shot 31.7 percent from the field, 7-of-39 from 3-point range and also struggled from the foul line (25-of-46).

BETTING STATS: Cincinnati opened as high as massive 16.5-point favorites and that line has yet to budge. The total hit betting boards at 131 and has yet to move off the opening number.



BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVEMENT:

Cincinnati opened as huge 16.5-point favorites for Saturday's semifinal matchup and as of Friday night that number has yet to move. The total hit betting boards at 131.5 and has also been steady in early wagering.

MATCHUP CHART:



TRENDS:

* Tigers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.
* Bearcats are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.
* Over is 5-1 in Tigers last 6 neutral site games.




Houston Cougars vs Wichita State Shockers (-4, 151)

Wichita State's bench runs deep, but the performance by its best player was most responsible for the No. 14 Shockers advancing to the American Athletic Conference Tournament semifinals against No. 21 Houston on Saturday in Orlando, Fla. Sophomore guard Landry Shamet matched his career high of six 3-pointers among his 24 points in Wichita State's 89-81 victory over Temple on Friday to set up a rubber match with the Cougars, who pulled away from Central Florida 84-56 on Friday.

Houston senior guard Rob Gray, who averages a team-best 18.1 points, scored 12 of his 17 on Friday in the final 12:23 as the Cougars broke open a 44-36 game with 15:54 remaining.

The teams split their regular-season meetings by protecting their home courts with the Shockers prevailing 81-63 on Jan. 4 and the Cougars handing Wichita State its worst loss of the campaign 73-59 on Jan. 20 with Gray scoring a total of 37 points.

BETTING STATS:



BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVEMENT: The Shockers opened as 4-point chalk and the over hit betting boards at 151, neither number has yet to move as of Saturday morning.

MATCHUP CHART:



TRENDS:

* Cougars are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.
* Shockers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall.
* Over is 4-1 in Cougars last 5 overall.
* Over is 9-1 in Shockers last 10 games following a straight up win.

SEC Tournament Semifinals betting preview and odds

It seems the remaining teams in the SEC tourney can be fitted for dancing shoes, as all four semifinalists appear to be locks for the NCAA Tournament. Most notably after Collin Sexton led Alabama to a rout over Auburn on Friday. The Tide will now take on Kentucky, which has won 11 consecutive SEC tourney games, while Arkansas will face off against Tennessee.

Games to be played at Scottrade Center, St. Louis, Missouri

Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Kentucky Wildcats (-3.5, 144)

Fourth-seeded Kentucky looks to stay on track for its fourth consecutive SEC Tournament title when it faces No. 9 seed Alabama in the semifinals on Saturday in St. Louis. The Wildcats cruised past Georgia 62-49 on Friday to notch their 11th consecutive win against the Bulldogs and hope to beat the Crimson Tide for the 10th straight time while ousting them in the semifinals for the second straight year following a 79-74 victory on March 11, 2017.

Collin Sexton, continued where he left off after hitting the game-winning floater to beat eighth-seeded Texas A&M on Thursday, as he poured in 31 points to likely cement the Crimson Tide's first NCAA Tournament berth since 2011-12. Sexton also buried six 3-pointers and grabbed seven rebounds in the win against Auburn. Donta Hall contributed 11 points and six rebounds before leaving with 6:41 left in the second half with a head injury, and the junior forward is questionable for Saturday's clash.

P.J. Washington led the way for Kentucky, with 18 points on 8-of-12 shooting from the floor to go along with seven rebounds in the win against Georgia. Kevin Knox, who shared the conference freshman of the year honors with Sexton, also added 15 points and a team-high nine rebounds in the win against the Bulldogs. Jarred Vanderbilt, who leads the Wildcats with 7.9 rebounds per game, was sidelined with an ankle injury and is listed as day-to-day. While coach John Calipari is not a fan of conference tournaments, his Wildcats have won 10 straight SEC tourney games, going 8-1-1 against the spread.

BETTING STATS:



BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVES: The Wildcats opened as high as 4.5-point chalk at some books, money coming in the Crimson Tide has seen that number dropped to 3.5. The total hit betting boards at 144 and has yet to move off the opening number.

MATCHUP CHART:



TRENDS:

* Wildcats are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall.
* Over is 7-0 in Wildcats last 7 games following a ATS win.
* Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings.
* Crimson Tide are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings.




Arkansas Razorbacks vs. Tennessee Volunteers (-2.5, 144)

Arkansas knocked off Tennessee in a high-octane contest earlier this season and the winner of Saturday's rematch in St. Louis earns a spot in the SEC Tournament title game. The senior backcourt of Daryl Macon (career-best 33 points) and Jaylen Barford (career-tying 28) combined for 61 points as the Razorbacks registered a 95-93 overtime win on Dec. 30.

The Volunteers have won five consecutive games but the second seeds weren't all that impressive in sliding past seventh-seeded Mississippi State 61-58 in Friday's quarterfinals. Sophomore forward Grant Williams struggled offensively with 3-of-12 shooting, but the SEC Player of the Year contributed 10 points and 11 rebounds for his first double-double of the season and fifth of his career.

Arkansas is playing its best basketball of the season and defeated third-seeded Florida 80-72 for its eighth victory in the past 10 games, going 7-2-1 against the spread. Jaylen Barford poured in 27 points and collected 10 rebounds in the win over the Gators and coach Mike Anderson had no trouble pinpointing why he played so well. "He's a senior. Big stage," Anderson said after the win. The Razorbacks also owned the boards versus Florida with a 43-28 advantage.

BETTING STATS:



BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVES: Tennessee opened as 2.5-point favorites and the over hit betting boards at 144, neither number has yet to move as of Saturday morning.

MATCHUP CHART:



TRENDS:

* Razorbacks are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 neutral site games.
* Over is 5-1 in Razorbacks last 6 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.
* Under is 5-0 in Volunteers last 5 overall.
* Over is 5-1 in Volunteers last 6 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.
* Razorbacks are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Pac-12 Conference Championship betting preview and odds: Arizona vs. USC

USC Trojans vs. Arizona Wildcats (-1.5, 146)

Game to be played at T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada

Arizona will try for its third Pac-12 tournament title in the past four years when the top-seeded Wildcats meet second-seeded USC on Saturday night. Arizona outscored fourth-seeded UCLA 11-0 in overtime to win the first semifinal 78-67 and the Trojans routed No. 6 seed Oregon 74-54 in the second to reach their first tournament championship since 2009.

Deandre Ayton was back to being a force against UCLA after a rocky performance in the quarterfinal victory against Colorado, totaling a season-high 32 points on 13-for-16 shooting and grabbing 14 rebounds against the Bruins. There's few college players in the country who can match up with the 7-1 freshman forward, but USC is better suited than most. The Trojans feature two 6-11 forwards in their starting lineup in Chimezie Metu and Nick Rakocevic, and they should make things more challenging for Ayton, who matched Metu with 18 points in the only meeting this season, an 81-67 win by Arizona in Tucson on Feb. 10. The best performance by a big man in that game came from from Arizona 7-foot senior center Dusan Ristic, who had 16 points on 7-for-9 shooting and 11 rebounds, one of his seven double-doubles on the season.

TV: 10 p.m. ET, FOX Sports 1

BETTING STATS:



BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVES: Arizona opened as 1.5-point favorites and that number has held firm. The total hit the board at 146 and yet to move off the opening number.

MATCHUP CHART:



ABOUT USC: The last time the Trojans played in the championship game of this tournament, DeMar DeRozan of USC outplayed James Harden of Arizona State in a matchup of future NBA All Stars. The Trojans don't feature any players the stature of DeRozan, but rather a potent mix of experience and talent, and they're benefiting lately by the improved play of shooting guard Jonah Matthews. He scored a career-high 27 points by way of 7-for-9 shooting from 3-point range against Oregon, more than triple his season average of 8.8 points coming into the game.

ABOUT ARIZONA: The Trojans have plenty to be concerned about in the Arizona backcourt as well, especially matching up with Allonzo Trier, who probably can't wait to get back on the floor after shooting 2-for-13 against UCLA and scoring nine points. Trier, a first-team all-Pac-12 selection this season along with Ayton, scored 22 against Colorado, and finished with 14 points and eight rebounds against USC last month. Starting in the same backcourt is another 6-5 shooting guard, Rawle Alkins, who sank 4-of-7 from 3-point distance and scored a team-high 20 points against the Trojans earlier this season.

TRENDS:

* Trojans are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games.
* Wildcats are 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 Saturday games.
* Under is 5-0 in Trojans last 5 games following a ATS win.
* Under is 4-1 in Wildcats last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

TIP-INS:

* The Wildcats are trying to become the second team to repeat as champions since the tournament restarted in 2002. Washington won in 2010 and 2011.
* USC G Jordan McLaughlin, who joined Metu on the all-conference first team, will look to bounce back after missing all five field goal attempts and committing 10 turnovers against Oregon.
* Arizona has won four in a row against USC since a quadruple-overtime loss Jan. 9, 2016.
