This should be really high scoring. Missouri should set the tone early with their press and that will get Texas Tech running. They both play at a high pace and both like to run. Tech will be thinking break the press to score, not set-up their offense. Big day tomorrow.

Wisconsin-Green Bay v/s Valparaiso

Predicted Winner: Wisconsin-Green Bay

**10** Horizon Game of the Year 10* Won LW Wisconsin-Green Bay was 6-1 in the Horizon League before meeting Butler on Thursday. The Phoenix lost by nine points but put forth a great effort in the defeat as they limited Butler to just 7-of-25 shooting in the first half. The Bulldogs proved to be just too tough on their home floor as they pulled away late but now is the time to bounce back. After starting the season 0-2, Wisconsin-Green Bay went 14-3 in its next 17 games and that one league loss came by just a single bucket at Loyola-Chicago. This is no fluke as it was poised to be at the top of the conference this season as it brought back all five starters from last season, the only team in the conference that can say that. Last year was a disappointment as the Phoenix lost six of their final eight games including the final game which was in the first round of the Horizon League Tournament to Valparaiso. This does bring in a revenge angle although that is not part of the reason for this take. Coming off that loss against Butler will have them ready for a big bounce back. While the Phoenix were losing, Valparaiso was winning as it took out Wisconsin-Milwaukee on Thursday. The Panthers did not have much going for them as the Crusaders were playing with revenge from a 14-point loss in Milwaukee earlier in the season and it was likely in lookahead mode to Butler on Saturday. While the win was nice, I think it was more of a loss by the Panthers than anything. That victory snapped a three-game losing streak and it has been a tough season and one that has been the exact opposite of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Valparaiso started the season 2-0 but went on a 3-14 run before Thursday’s victory. One of those victories came against North Park, a small Division III university while the other came against Marian College, an NAIA school out of Indianapolis. The only other victories came against Youngstown St. and Detroit who are a combined 10-27 this season. The Crusaders have yet to put together two good back-to-back games against Division I teams and it likely will not happen here. Not only do the situations favor the Phoenix but they have advantages in almost every pertinent statistic. Green Bay ranks first in the Horizon League in scoring offense at 70.4 ppg, free throw percentage at 79.3 percent, field goal percentage at 43.3 percent and three-point percentage at 39.3 percent. The Phoenix are second nationally in free throw percentage and 23rd in three-point shooting. Valparaiso is hitting just 62.7 percent of its free throws, which is 310th in the nation and 30.8 percent from long range which is tied for 282nd in the country. It doesn’t end there. Wisconsin-Green Bay has an offensive efficiency rating of 106.6 which is 2nd in the conference and 82nd overall while the Crusaders have a 91.8 rating which is 9th in the 10-team conference and 291st in the nation. Wisconsin-Green Bay also has a 1.01 assist/turnover ratio compared to a 0.82 ratio for Valparaiso. To the Crusaders credit, they have played a tougher schedule overall but it has not done much to help in the win column. The Phoenix are an extremely deep team as well as they have had eight different leading scorers and seven different leading rebounders this season. In addition, five players are averaging at least 9.0 ppg, and four are in double figures. Wisconsin-Green Bay has feasted on these types of opponents in the past as they are 12-3 ATS when playing against a team with a losing record after 15 or more games over the last three seasons. Valparaiso is just 3-12 ATS in its last 15 games off a win against a conference rival and it is 1-4 ATS in its last five games against teams with a winning record. The Phoenix are also 9-0 ATS after having won three of their last four games over the last two seasons showing that they just don’t put together back-to-back poor efforts. That will be case again here. 10* Wisconsin-Green Bay Phoenix

Memphis lost just one regular season contest all of last season, and it was at home against the Volunteers. The cast of characters has obviously changed for the Tigers, but this is nevertheless a major revenge game for Memphis. And there's no question in my mind that Tennessee is very beatable. The Vols are off a good win at Vandy, but this team has some notable defeciencies on defense and, let's face it, the entire SEC is struggling this year against quality out of conference competition. Memphis has an easy road to their own league's title, so they will unquestionably be pointing to this clash as perhaps their biggest challenge of the regular season, and I believe the Tigers have what it takes to win the game outright.
---------
The Illini have been outstanding at home, and I'm expecting their best effort today as they play host to Wisconsin. The Badgers have not exactly been world beaters on the road and for whatever reason Bo Ryan has just not been able to get his team to a really high level this season. Illinois will want this game badly as they lost three times last season to the Badgers. Illinois has definitely stepped up for their big games this season and I believe this is one of the games they've had circled all season, so they should be primed for a top performance. I'll give the points and back Illinois for my College Game of the Month.
--------

SIU was shooting almost all bricks until recently, and that was the very simple reason the Salukis were struggling. But they've begun to find their range and in the process, So Illinois is now on a nice roll as they prep for this game. Illinois State feasted on a cupcake pre-conference slate but the Redbirds have not been sharp lately. No doubting this is a very tough home court, but I much prefer the team that's trending more positively right now, so Southern Illinois plus the points is the choice.
