double-dime bet 546 Missouri 3.5 (-110) Bookmaker.com vs 545 Kansas
Analysis: I rode the Kansas Jayhawks to a huge Triple Star victory over K-State earlier this week but no way am I buying into them being favored in this spot saturday afternoon in Mizzou Arena against the Tigers. Are the Jayhawks the better team? Obviously! The thing is this is a lousy spot for them and I would not be the least bit surprised if Missouri does not duplicate last year when they knocked off Kansas 62-60. Mizzou avoided the upset at Iowa State last time out despite having a down night from leading scorer Kim English. They will need a big bounce back performance here from English. The Jayhawks have clinched the conference title and a first round bye in the conference tourney, they likely are assured a #1 seed somewhere in the dance as well. Meanwhile the Tigers are still playing for positioning and a possible first round bye in the conference tourney next weekend in Kansas City. A win over Kansas would also do their resume wonders for the selection committee. I can tell you also with certainty that Mike Anderson has his kids on a mission to prove to the country that last years drive into the elite 8 was no accident, Mizzou plays as hard or harder than any team in the country, they are like a pack of junkyard dogs with their relentless style that forces over 20 turnovers every time out. Lack of a true post player to contend with Kansas center Cole Aldrich will be the biggest task at hand and it is obviously a concern. Mizzou will harass and run and Aldrich has better be prepared for a lot of running and defenders doubling down on him in the paint. When all is said and done it will come down to whether Mizzou can put the ball in the net. They can go into inexplicable cold spells much like at Iowa State last time out. I do not see that happening in back to back games. The Tigers are an impressive 16-1 at home this year and play with a whole different level of confidence in front of the home crowd, which will be put in full force for the border war. I'll be among them. I have wagered against the Tigers several times this year but not here, not in this case. Border war or not, I feel the Jayhawks will be a little flat after the emotional senior night victory wednesday at home. I'll take the Tigers and the points here at home guys.

Saturday's Lineup

40 Dime – UTEP

20 Dime – VILLANOVA

UTEP --- Gotta side with the hometown Miners in this one and I have absolutely no faith in the Blazers right now, especially after watching them struggle vs. Memphis the other night. Yes, I backed UAB that night and thought I was on the right side for several reasons... I was wrong. But one thing I learned about UAB... if they aren't playing "lights out" defense, they're going to struggle, especially on the road.

UAB isn't necessarily built to score a ton of points like in past seasons, and playing a team like UAB that can score in bunches could spell trouble if they get hot. The Blazers have scored 53 and 59 points in their last two road outings vs. Central Florida and Southern Miss and although I have seen them score a bunch more than that on a few occasions, the normal road output is around 67 PPG. I'll tell you right now... if the Blazers plan on scoring 67 points tonight, they better make sure they play their best defensive game of the year because it's going to take a lot more than 67 points to cover this six-point line.

Many critics to this selection will point to the fact UTEP is just 2-7 ATS in their last 9 home games, but what you might forget is the fact that the Miners have been asked to cover double digits in six of those nine, and three of those double digit lines were over 20. They're winning a lot of games right now, so it's unfair to criticize their ATS home record given those numbers... that would be tough for anyone to do. And let's keep in mind, UTEP has won 13 straight games and they seem to get better each time they take the floor. They went to Southern Miss and won, they went to Marshall and won, they went to Tulsa and won... they even went to UAB and won (by 9 in overtime). This team is as hot as any team in the country and with this being senior night in front of a sellout crowd, I can't imagine anything but their best effort.

Again, I'm just not all that impressed with UAB, especially away from home, and the way they finished their last game against Memphis was really telling. On average, UTEP outscores their opponents by more than 12 PPG, but I expect the team and the crowd to be a little more "juiced up" tonight. And no, I'm not worried that the Miners have already wrapped up the conference regular season title... they want to win this game and win is big. UTEP's biggest downfall lately has been allowing too high of a three-point percentage to their opponents, but that's not a problem at home where they allow less than 30% from behind the arc. I like UTEP big tonight at home.

VILLANOVA --- Despite some ugly play from the 'Cats over the past few weeks, this team still actually has a chance to get a #1 seed out west in the Big Dance. With a strong showing today and a solid showing in the conference tournament, Villanova could put themselves in a position to earn a #1 seed. Remember, a few weeks ago these guys were a lock for a #1 seed, so it's really not too far-fetched of an idea. Honestly, both of these teams are very good and could be deserving of a top seed, but when it comes down to it, I think the lack of solid free throw shooting from the Mounties will lead to their ultimate demise.

The Mountaineers shoot just 69% from the stripe and they seem to get worse when the game is on the line. Remember, they let Pittsburgh back in a game they had no business getting back into because of West Virginia's horrible free throw shooting in the final minute. Let's also keep in mind WVU is not a good ATS team, covering just 12 times in 28 games and just 6 of 14 on the road. Villanova, on the other hand, has covered 8 of 12 lined home games and they need this game a whole heck of a lot more than West Virginia does. When the Philly crowd gets into it, the Wildcats play at a different level, and having proven they can already beat this team on the road, I have no doubts they get the job done again today with a small Vegas line sitting in front of them. Take 'Nova minus the small impo
