NCAA-B | North Carolina vs Miami-FL
Play on: North Carolina -2 -110 at SC Consensus
My free play is on North Carolina at 7:00 ET.
Roy Wiliams retired after last season, ending his career with a first-round NCAA tournament loss and an 18-11 record with his beloved Tar Heels. Former North Carolina player Hubert Davis took over as head coach and the Tar Heels were ranked 19th in the AP's preseason poll. North Carolina heads to South Beach 12-4 overall (and unranked), including 4-1 in the ACC. Miami head coach Jim Larranaga has led the Hurricanes to six, 20-win seasons in his 10 years, to all three of the school's 25-win seasons and to two of the school's three Sweet 16 appearances. By the way, I could also throw in him leading unheralded George Mason to a Final 4 appearance back in 2006. The 'Canes are coming off a 10-17 season (4-15 in the ACC) last year and little was expected but Miami is 13-4 overall, plus its 5-1 record has them atop the ACC standings!
North Carolina has a frontcourt led by the returning 6-10 Bacot (17.4 & 11.2), 6-9 Oklahoma transfer Manek (12.8 & 5.8) and 6-11 Marquette transfer Garcia (9.6 & 5.9). Sophomore guard Love (15.5-3.6-3.4) teams with freshman Davis (13.4-3.8-3.8) plus Black (3.7 & 4.5). As Georgia Tech head coach Josh Pastner said after Saturday's 88-65 loss to the Tar Heels, "When Carolina is playing well, they're good enough to go to the Final Four."
The Hurricanes were picked to finish 11th in the 15-team league in the preseason poll but find themselves with 13 wins (already three more than last year's 10) and as noted, atop the ACC. Miami is led by the guard trio of McGusty (18.0 & 5.9), Wong (15.9 & 3.7) and Moore (12.8 & 3.9 APG), plus Miller adds 8.7 & 5.6 off the bench. Miami hasn't gotten only modest production from the 6-10 Waardenburg (7.1 & 3.8) and the 6-9 Walker (5.8 & 2.2).
Miami has been idle since its nine-game win streak was broken in a last-second 65-64 loss at Florida State on Jan 11. The Hurricanes were outrebounded in that game, 37-25, including 14-6 on offense. In fact, Miami has been outrebounded by all EIGHT Power 5 teams it has played this season. That hardly spells "good news" up against Carolina and its frontcourt of the 6-10 Bacot, 6-9 Manek and 6-11 Garcia.
Miami is 8-1 at home this season, but just 8-26 in the all-time series with UNC (6-10 under coach Jim Larranaga). North Carolina just has too much size for the 'Canes. Lay the short price with the road favorite.
Good luck...Larry

NCAA-B | St Bonaventure vs Dayton
Play on: Dayton -1 -110 at Caesars
Dave's Tuesday Free Play:
1* on Dayton -1 The Key: The Dayton Flyers have wins over Kansas, Miami, Belmont and Saint Louis this year to prove what they are capable of. And I like the price we are getting on them at home tonight against the St. Bonaventure Bonnies. In their last 3 games away from home, the Bonnies have lost to UConn by 10, to VA Tech by 37 and only beat La Salle by 4 as 9.5-point favorites. They have only played one true road game all year thus far, which is hard to believe. Dayton is 24-6 SU in its last 30 matchups with St. Bonaventure, including 11-2 SU in its last 13 home matchups. The Bonnies are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games overall. Take Dayton.

NCAA-B | Davidson vs VCU
Play on: VCU -2 -110 at linepros
FREE PICK: VCU Rams -2.5 RATING: 30* ROT#: 606
I will gladly take my chances with VCU as a slim 2-point home favorite against the Wildcats. Big time bounce back spot for the Rams, who were just lost 53-73 on the road to St Bonaventure. That loss snapped a 7-game winning streak.
We know this is a talented VCU team. They lost by 8 to Baylor on neutral site and the very next day took UConn to OT. No doubt we are going to get the best the Rams have to offer here against a Wildcats team that hasn't lost since falling to New Mexico State back on Nov. 18. Davidson brings a 12-game winning streak and perfect 5-0 record in A-10 play to the Siegel Center Tuesday night.
Wildcats are off a big road win at Richmond on Friday, but this will be the first time they have played consecutive true road games. Not a spot that has treated Davidson well, as they are 0-8 ATS last 3 seasons on the road after playing their previous game on the road. Give me VCU -2!
