NCAA-B | California vs Stanford
Play on: Stanford -9 -110 at Mirage

Dave’s Wednesday Free Play:
1* on Stanford -9
The Key: The Stanford Cardinal are on the bubble of the NCAA Tournament. They need to win this game to get in and should be able to get the job done by double-digits. California is coming off 2 straight blowout losses to Oregon by 34 and Oregon State by 18. And the Golden Bears just haven’t been able to win on the highway this season. They are 1-12 SU & 2-11 ATS in their 13 games played away from home while losing by 17.4 PPG. They lost by 16 at Stanford earlier this year. Cal is 8-20-1 ATS in its last 29 neutral site games. The Golden Bears are 10-26 ATS in their last 36 neutral site games as underdogs. The Cardinal are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 games as favorites. Take Stanford.

How about that outright complimentary winner last night on the Nets at the Lakers? I’ve now delivered six freebie winners over the last eight days. For Wednesday's, it's back to the college hardwood—where I’m on a 10-5 roll with comp plays—as we'll lay the chalk with Arkansas over Vanderbilt in first-round SEC Tournament action.



Not exactly a strong sprint to the finish of the regular season for the Razorbacks, who lost seven of their last 10 games both SU and ATS, going 0-for-5 away from home during this stretch. That's the bad news. The good: The three victories were all convincing—77-68 over Missouri, 88-69 over Tennessee and 99-90 over LSU.



Now here's the best news: Vanderbilt is hot garbage—and nobody knows this better than Arkansas., which pummeled the Commodores 75-55 as a 14-point home favorite back on Jan. 15.



That loss was one of 15 (against just three victories) for Vandy in SEC play. And that 3-15 mark is part of an 11-20 overall record (by comparison, the Razorbacks are 19-12). Granted, the Commodores did close the regular season with a pair of upsets at Alabama (87-79) and at home versus South Carolina (83-74). But they've won as many as three games in a row just once all season, when they took down mighty Austin Peay, South Carolina State and Southeastern Louisiana in succession in late November.



Also, Vandy has covered the spread in as many as three consecutive games just once all season, when it got the money four straight times against Kentucky, Florida, LSU and Mississippi State—as an underdog of 20½, 11½, 11 and 15½ points. Today, the Commodores are only catching single digits—against a vastly superior opponent that throttled them by 20 less than two months ago.


Finally, if there was any chance that Arkansas would take the court tonight with some complacency and look ahead to tomorrow because of that blowout win, that chance was wiped out by Vandy's surprise victories over Alabama and South Carolina. Indeed, the Hogs will be solely focused on the task at hand, and they'll take care of business with a double-digit rout, even in what is essentially a home game for the Commodores.

My free winner for Wednesday is in the Patriot League championship, where I'll play Colgate minus the points against Boston U.

Colgate swept the regular-season series against the Terriers, including a 16-point rout in Boston one month ago.

And it's hard to ignore how well the Raiders did down the stretch, winning five of their last six and averaging 84.6 points per game over their last five.

And remember, this is not a major tournament that heads to a neutral arena, the higher seed hosts, and this one is at Colgate, where the Raiders averaged 79.4 points per game, and allowed just 65.4 points per contest.

When the teams met in Hamilton, N.Y. back in January, the Raiders won 79-70.

When the team met in this same arena in last year's tournament, the Raiders won 81-69.

I don't see much changing on Oak Drive in Northern New York.

Lay the chalk.

3* COLGATE

Wednesday freebie on Philly back in their castle to not just win against Detroit, but cover.

The 76ers may be minus Simmons and Embiid, but the remaining cast has done a good job at protecting their home floor, as they enter this game against the Pistons at 28 and freaking 2 straight up on their home floor at the Wells Fargo Center!

Philly is back home after a road trip that actually saw them win a game, as they went 1-3 on their West Coast swing and will now be back home where they are not just 28-2 straight up, but have also won and covered their last 4 and have gone 5-1 against the spread their last 6 at home.

Detroit has dropped 4 in a row and 11 of their last 12 as they have injury issues of their own to contend with. The Pistons are just 13-18-1 against the spread away from home this season, so don't expect the points to be of too much help against a Philly team that they have dropped 5 in a row versus.

The Sixers are 5-0 both straight up and against the spread and they happen to be on a 9-1 straight up and against the spread run the last 10 times they have jumped ball against the Motown 5.

To me it doesn't really matter who is in uniform and on the court for Philadelphia tonight, a 28-2 mark speaks for itself.

Go on an lay the lumber with the 76ers on their home floor on Wednesday.
