Hot & Not Report
YouWager

After skipping last week's piece for the holidays, I'm back with one more final Hot or Not piece for 2018. I would like to wish all of you a Happy New Year out there, but a flip of the calendar means college basketball conference play has arrived. I thought it would be best to take another look at the CBB landscape one final time for 2018 before these teams get locked into two months of conference play and rivalry angles etc coming into play.

So here is a look at a few of the current Top 25 ranked teams that have been great on or against bets during the non-conference slate of their schedule. Will these teams stay on these streaks now that conference play has arrived?

Who's Hot

Top 25 teams from the ACC ? Combined 45-23-3 ATS

To have the best teams from the ACC cashing at such a high rate in non-conference play is somewhat expected as it tends to be the deepest conference every year, but it's also a run that I can assure you won't last now that conference games are here.

The ACC currently has six teams in the AP Top 25 ? Duke, Virginia, Florida State, Virginia Tech, North Carolina and NC State ? and only FSU enters the new year with a losing ATS record (5-6-1 ATS). Four of the other five schools -everyone but North Carolina ? have at least eight ATS victories and are cashing at least 66% of the time. That's rather impressive when you think about it, because it's the Duke's of the world that get saddled with inflated spreads to cover more often than not, and the Blue Devils are up there amongst the leaders at 8-4 ATS.

However, the issue here now becomes the fact that with many of these top ACC teams covering the spreads at a high rate, handicapping ACC games when these schools are up against each other becomes that much tougher. Spreads will be tougher to decipher in a Duke/Virginia game and it may be all about situational analysis and who's coming off what, or have so-and-so on deck.

There still might be a clear class distinction within the ACC Conference between these teams currently ranked and those currently not ? six of nine non-ranked ACC programs have losing ATS records overall ? but it's those games between powerhouses from this conference where you'll really want to make sure you do your homework going into them.

Who's Not

Top 25 teams from the SEC are basically a coin-flip at 24-22-2 ATS

It appears as though the conference that's getting hit the hardest as being a victim of their own success in the betting markets is the SEC. Their four teams ranked in the Top 25 ? Tennessee, Auburn, Kentucky, and Mississippi State are basically no better than a coin-flip against the spread, and that's with a few of them already being involved in big time matchups so far.

It's been those high profile matchups that have made these SEC teams tough to trust because whether it's during, right before, or right after these games, there tends to be an inexplicable loss mixed in as well.

That hasn't been the case for Tennessee who's only SU defeat came in OT on a neutral floor vs Kansas, so nothing to worry about there. The Volunteers have had their ATS trouble by failing to cover as big favorites ? 0-3-1 ATS when favored by 19 or more ? as they get those inflated numbers attached to them and can't come through.

For Kentucky it was that embarrassing route at the hands of Duke to open the year that soured many on their early season prognostications, as most of their ATS losses have come as heavy chalk as well. They did manage to beat UNC outright as a small underdog, and with all the talent the Wildcats have from top to bottom, you've got to like their chances of improving their ATS mark significantly over these next two months, especially if the general perception of them is still rather low.

The SEC is a conference that I'd expect to see perhaps double the amount of ranked teams they've got now (4) get invited to the NCAA Tournament come March, so conference play should be where we get to see the overall depth of this conference. That may make for some more ATS losses for these Top 25 teams within the conference, but with Auburn and Mississippi State there as well, I'll be looking to play on these top caliber squads more often than not.

4) Danilo Gallinari, LAC 46.4%

3) Davis Bertans, Spurs 48%

2) Joe Harris, Nets 48.3%

1) Seth Curry, Trailblazers 50%

Quote of the Day
?Throughout my career as an athletic director, I have maintained a belief that making a head coaching change during a season is rarely in the best interests of our student-athletes or program.?
UCLA AD Dan Guerrero, who fired his basketball coach anyway on Monday

Tuesday?s quiz
Where did Shaquille O?Neal play his college basketball?

Monday?s quiz
Fred Dalton Thompson played a DA on Law and Order for five years, then later ran for the Republican nomination for President in 2008.

Sunday?s quiz
In the great TV show M*A*S*H*, Hawkeye Pierce?s real name was Benjamin Franklin Pierce.

*****************************

Tuesday?s List of 13; Happy New Year, everyone!!!!

13) This is the first NFL season ever where no team finished 8-8; NFL went to the 16-game schedule in 1978, with two seasons since then shortened by work stoppages.

12) Eight NFL head coaches were fired Sunday/Monday, 25% of the league?s coaches.

11) Steelers? star WR Antonio Brown missed Sunday?s game with the Bengals, but apparently he wasn?t hurt, he was being disciplined after an incident in practice with a teammate, who was Ben Rothlisberger. Witnesses say it was a fairly ugly incident.

Sounds like it was an unhappy year in Pittsburgh, with Le?Veon Bell?s holdout and the coach screwing up game management situations and now Brown at odds with teammates. Throw in the defensive coordinator not knowing that Bengals? TE Tyler Eifurt was hurt back in October, and it wouldn?t be surprising if whole lot of people were let go Monday, but they weren?t.

10) Oakland Raiders hired NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock as its GM; Mayock has been contributing to NFL Network and NFL.com since 2004, mostly in scouting, but he?s never worked in an NFL front office before.

Raiders have three first round draft picks in April and $100M in cap room to work with.

9) UCLA?s basketball team is 7-6 and has lost its last four games, which cost Steve Alford his job Monday. Bruins lost at home to Belmont, Liberty- those teams are both ranked in the top 80, but the coaching change was made, even before conference play begins. Our society isn?t terribly patient. Alford is a good guy; not sure why a move had to be made right now.

Alford/UCLA never seemed like a great match; will be fascinating to see where Bruins set their sights for a new coach. Murry Bartow is the interim coach; his father Gene was the coach who replaced John Wooden at UCLA, and who later started UAB?s basketball program.

Would Billy Donovan have any interest in the UCLA job? I?d have to ask, if I?m UCLA.

8) Mark Richt was fired as football coach at Miami; official word was ?retired?, but guys don?t quit jobs like that. Richt is 58, would be curious to hear him on TV, hopefully learn from him.

Houston fired coach Major Applewhite; Dana Holgorsen has been mentioned as a potential target for the Cougars, but how is Houston a better job than West Virginia? Kliff Kingsbury has apparently turned down ?a lucrative offer? from Houston to stay on as an assistant at USC.

7) Manny Diaz left as DC at Miami to become head coach at Temple, but when Richt retired (or was fired), Diaz quickly bolted Temple and is now the head coach at Miami. Oy.

6) Ole Miss signed former Michigan/Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez as its new OC, joining former Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre as its new DC, giving the Rebels an impressive staff around relatively inexperienced head coach Matt Luke.

6) This from the Grand Forks Herald:

Dan Shrader is a 38-year old full-time sanitation worker in the Minneapolis/St Paul area, who spends 50 hours a week driving a daily garbage route, dumping trash at the landfill and helping manage a 32-truck fleet.

He never played in the NHL, he never played college or pro hockey, he never played organized hockey growing up, period, but he is an amateur scout for the Winnipeg Jets, in charge of watching the Minnesota region for prospects. Pretty good second job for a garbageman.

If you like something a lot and work hard enough at it, all things are possible.

5) Hartford 79, Boston College 78 OT? ACC teams shouldn?t lose to America East teams.

4) City of Toronto had free bus/subway service from 7pm-7am New Year?s Eve, which is really good. More cities should do that; the less people who drive on New Year?s Eve, the better.

3) Stanford 14, Pittsburgh 13? Condoleeza Rice was on the Stanford sidelines for this game; not sure if she was auditioning for a coaching job or not. Pitt finishes year 7-7; always wondered if kids like enjoy going to El Paso for a bowl- seems like an unusual place for a bowl.

2) Oregon 7, Michigan State 6? In its last four games, Michigan State scored 6-6-14-6 points. That not good. Before Monday, last time they completed more than half their passes was October 27.

Mario Cristobal gets a bowl win in his first year at Oregon; it was Ducks? first bowl wins since 2014, in a season when they had their third HC in last three years.

1) Hope you guys out there all have a Happy New Year; thanks for reading. I?m hoping that 2019 will be a year when we all get along better and tolerate each other?s opinions more. Our diversity is part of what makes this country unique, in a good way.

St. John's routs No. 16 Marquette 89-69
January 1, 2019
Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) Shamorie Ponds scored 20 of his 26 points in the first half, dominating a highly anticipated matchup between two of the nation's top guards, and St. John's rebounded impressively from its first loss of the season by routing No. 16 Marquette 89-69 on Tuesday night at Carnesecca Arena.

Marvin Clark II had 22 points and Mustapha Heron added all 16 of his after halftime for the Red Storm (13-1, 1-1 Big East), who snapped Marquette's eight-game winning streak.

With leading scorer Markus Howard held to eight points on 2-for-15 shooting, the Golden Eagles (11-3, 0-1) got blown out in their conference opener. Howard entered averaging 25.1 points per game, best in the Big East and ranked fifth in the country.

Joey Hauser had 15 points to lead Marquette, which went 6 for 21 from 3-point range (28.6 percent).

No. 9 FLORIDA STATE 87, WINTHROP 76

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Terance Mann scored 22 points and Phil Cofer added 14, helping Florida State hold off Winthrop for its seventh straight victory.

The Seminoles have opened with a 12-1 record for the fourth time in school history, matching their best start.

Mann shot 10 of 11 from the floor, scoring 14 second-half points and grabbing seven rebounds. Cofer made four of his five shots in the first half but missed all the in the second.

Florida State was up 56-38 but Winthrop charged back to trail 63-61 with 11:50 left. The Seminoles, however, stayed in control.

Adam Pickett scored 19 points and Charles Falden added 15 for Winthrop (8-5), whose four-game winning streak ended.

No. 10 VIRGINIA TECH 81, NOTRE DAME 66

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) - Ty Outlaw hit three 3-pointers in a 22-9 second-half run and Virginia Tech beat Notre Dame.

Kerry Blackshear Jr. led the way with 21 points, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Ahmed Hill scored 17 apiece and Outlaw finished with 14 for the Hokies (12-1, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference). Virginia Tech led just 49-44 before Alexander-Walker sparked the run with a pair of driving baskets.

T.J. Gibbs scored 19 points, 13 in the second half, as Notre Dame (10-4, 0-1) had its four-game winning streak snapped. D.J. Harvey added 16 and Nate Laszewski had 14.

Outlaw's first 3-pointer gave Virginia Tech a 60-47 lead, and his third made it 71-53. The Fighting Irish closed to within 71-60 with just under four minutes to play, but after a timeout by the Hokies, Outlaw hit again from behind the arc to settle them down.

Quote of the Day
?We felt it important to extend and amend Lincoln?s contract at this time as we want him at the University of Oklahoma for a long time. He is a great coach and role model for our student-athletes. His record of success speaks for itself. Lincoln is also the right representative for our university in such a high-profile position. I am proud to work with him and anxious to support him as he takes our program into the future.?
Oklahoma president James Gallogly; lets see the Sooners go 7-5 a couple years in a row and see what a great role model they think Riley is.

Wednesday?s quiz
Who was the only NFL QB to take every offensive snap for his team this season?

Tuesday?s quiz
Shaquille O?Neal played his college basketball at LSU.

Monday?s quiz
Fred Dalton Thompson played a DA on Law and Order for five years, then later ran for the Republican nomination for President in 2008.

*************************

Wednesday?s List of 13: Wrapping up the first day of 2019

13) Forgot to mention this Monday, but NFL gets the Week 17 thing right; every game is a divisional rivalry game, and the most meaningful games are stuffed into the 4:25 window of games, to maximize drama. Makes handicapping more difficult, but so be it.

12) There are rumors going around Las Vegas these days that UNLV is going to have a new basketball coach next year, and that guy is coaching in Greece right now? Rick Pitino.

11) Kentucky 27, Penn State 24? Wildcats win 10+ games in same football season for first time since 1977. Kentucky led 27-7, were outgained 407-297, but hung on for the win- they ran a punt back for a touchdown, the first punt return Penn State allowed for a TD since 2012.

10) Houston snags football coach Dana Holgorsen away from West Virginia, giving him $20M over five years; not often a guy voluntarily leaves a Big X program for an AAC team, but money talks??

9) Of the 12 teams who made NFL playoffs this year, Rams played most games (4-3) against them this season. Bears (2-1), Ravens (1-2) played the fewest.

8) Jets could be a good over bet for wins next season; since 2000, here are the Jet head coaches, 1st year and then after??

2000 Al Groh First year: 9-7 Replaced after one year
2001 Herm Edwards: First year: 10-6 Rest of time: 29-35
2006: Eric Mangini: First year: 10-6 Rest of time: 13-19
2008: Rex Ryan: First year: 9-7 Rest of time: 37-43
2015: Todd Bowles: First year: 10-6 Rest of time: 14-34

7) Speaking of the Jets, how does the coach at Iowa Freakin? State turn down an interview with an NFL team? Matt Campbell doesn?t want to coach in the NFL? Fine, but interviewing with an NFL team wouldn?t at least be a good experience for him? I laughed when I saw this note.

6) Agreed that Steve Alford/UCLA was an odd fit, but here is the list of coaches who made 3+ Sweet 16?s in the last five years:
Alford, Beilein, Calipari, Few, Huggins, Krzyzewski, Sean MIller, Self, Williams.

Firing Alford before conference play was insulting, and probably done to placate a big-money donor. Wonder if it?ll hurt them in finding a high-profile replacement.

5) Gambling is difficult: Monday, Weber State (-6.5) won 93-87 at Idaho. Weber was up 41-16 with 5:49 left in first half, led by 22 at the half, but didn?t cover. Idaho made 10-19 3-pointers but covered by only a half-point. Weber was the right side in the game, but not the winning side.

4) Ohio State 28, Washington 23? I wonder if Urban Meyer will ever coach again; hopefully he will never be on TV again, just a totally humorless, serious person who was a great coach but for Pete?s sake, tell a joke or say something sarcastic now and then- its not that hard.

3) LSU 40, Central Florida 32? Tigers? QB Joe Burrow was 21-34 for 394 yards and four TD?s as LSU ended UCF?s 25-game winning streak. Burrow led LSU to a 10-3 record this season; he was the 3rd-string QB at Ohio State before this year. Think about that for a second.

2) Lions fired OC Jim Bob Cooter Tuesday; officially it is a ?mutual parting of ways? which is a nice way of Matt Patricia saying, ?Take a hike!!!!?

Jets/Cardinals need to look at Cooter to help develop their young QB?s.

1) Tuesday is usually garbage day in my neighborhood, but because of New Year?s Day, it got pushed back a day this week. Lot of my neighbors didn?t get the memo and put their garbage out Monday night, and it was really windy Tuesday morning, so the neighborhood was a mess Tuesday morning, lot of stuff everywhere. Not a great way to start 2019.

Wednesday's Essentials
Tony Mejia

Game of the Night - Utah State at Nevada (-10, 148.5), ESPNU, 11 p.m. ET

Yes, there are better matchups tonight, but this one caps the festivities and you shouldn?t miss it, so excuse us for a little hyperbole. I?ll touch on five other intriguing games as college basketball starts out the new year intent on making sure it gets a lot of attention.

San Diego State and New Mexico are off to rough starts, so Nevada (13-0 SU, 7-4-1 ATS) may not get much pushback in the Mountain West this season. As the first of the year rolls around, there are just two 10-win teams, the undefeated Wolf Pack and Utah State (10-3, 8-4), which has played some quality competition and owns wins over Saint Mary?s and Weber State.

This conference opener will allow us to see what kind of message the Wolf Pack are looking to send the rest of the Mountain West, especially since at comes at home against one of the upstarts. A holiday hangover appears unlikely given what the undefeated team did to Utah on Dec. 28, posting an 86-71 win in Salt Lake City. Caleb Martin scored a career-best 33 points and seven assists to earn himself Mountain West Player of the Week honors.

Nevada is looking to become the first Mountain West school to win three consecutive titles and will match the best start in school history by handling Utah State here. It is one of only five undefeated teams entering 2019.

Jordan Caroline has been amazing alongside the Martin twins all season, while redshirt seniors Trey Porter and Tre?Shawn Thurman round out a tremendous starting five loaded with talent and experience. Off the bench, they turn to guard Jazz Johnson, who is shooting 59.6 from 3-point range, tops in the country.

Until the win at Utah, the spread monster had caught up with Nevada in terms of covers, since the team cashed only once in all of December, beating USC 73-61. The ?under? is 9-3 in Wolf Pack games, prevailing in six of seven, so be wary of that since the Utes became just the third team of Nevada?s 13 opponents to top the 70-point mark.

Utah trailed by just one point at the break but were blown out to open the second half by a flurry that saw Nevada hit nine of 10 shots. Credit Eric Musselman, one of the game?s top coaches, for making the proper adjustments to give his loaded squad a lift. He?ll now match wits with Craig Smith, who will be coaching his first conference game after arriving from South Dakota State in the offseason. A former assistant at Colorado State under Tim Miles, Smith knows the league well but gets quite the baptism thanks to the scheduling gods.

In guard Sam Merrill, the Aggies have a scorer who will have Nevada?s attention at all times. He?s a 50-40-90 guy, which is no easy feat in college. If you?re taking the points, you?re hoping he can find the range in Reno, particularly in the second half regardless of whether it?s tight or Utah State is playing for cosmetic purposes.

The numbers say Musselman will have his Wolf Pack sold that this is a legitimate threat coming into Lawlor Events Center despite the fact Utah State has lost its last four meetings between these schools. The Aggies lead the Mountain West in scoring margin (+16.5), scoring defense (64.8), rebounding margin (+11.6) and field goal percentage defense (.359). In freshman Neemias Queta, a 6-foot-11 center from Portugal, Utah State has a raw gem who keyed the upset of Saint Mary?s with 24 points and five blocks.

The ?under? has prevailed in three straight Aggies games. Utah State is 2-3 SU and ATS as an underdog. If the line holds, this will be its first game of the season as a double-digit ?dog and will undoubtedly be the most points they?ll catch, barring injury, until the postseason.

Best of the Rest

Oklahoma at Kansas (-8, 151), 9 p.m. ET: The Sooners have galvanized after Trae Young?s departure and will take their team-centric approach into Lawrence, where they lost 104-74 last season. Considering they had won the first meeting between the teams, it?s safe to say the Jayhawks got the last laugh. The teams pick up their rivalry with Oklahoma (11-1, 10-1-1) coming in with a streak of seven straight covers, having only lost to Wisconsin in the Bahamas. Kansas (11-1, 6-6) suffered its first loss on Dec. 22 after surrendering a lead to Arizona State but has center Udoka Azubuike back and should be formidable as they look to run their winning streak over the Sooners at Allen Fieldhouse to 18 straight. Oklahoma hasn?t won in Lawrence in 25 years but are 3-0 in true road games this season. The Sooners rank 11th nationally in defensive field goal percentage (.369).

Texas at Kansas State (-3.5, 125), 7:35 p.m. ET: The Longhorns hit the road for the first time looking to snap a four-game losing streak against Kansas State. Shaka Smart?s team has lost to Radford, VCU and most recently, Providence, but owns wins over North Carolina and Purdue that it will bolster an at-large resume so long as they?re effective in Big 12 play. Center Jaxson Hayes and guard Elijah Mitrou-Long have joined the Texas (8-4, 5-7) starting lineup, so Bruce Weber will have a tweak to deal with as he looks to continue overcoming the absence of top forward Dean Wade, who remains sidelined with a foot injury. Kamau Stokes and Xavier Sneed have helped the Wildcats win four straight games and are equipped to harass a Texas team that ranks last in the Big 12 in shooting percentage (42.5). K-State (10-2, 5-7) has held six of its last seven opponents to 59 or fewer points, including the last five in a row. The ?under? is 9-3 in their games.

Texas Tech (-3.5, 137) at West Virginia, 7 p.m. ET: The Red Raiders weren?t expected to threaten for another Big 12 title after losing Zhaire Smith and Keenan Evans, but Jarrett Culver has turned himself into a lottery pick and transfers Tariq Owens (St. John?s) and Matt Mooney (South Dakota St.) have fit in seamlessly. Chris Beard?s teams play suffocating defense, which is why he?s been able to overcome losing two pros while holding opponents to a national-low 32.8 percent shooting clip. Defense usually travels well, but Morgantown is a feared stop on the Big 12 slate. It helps the Red Raiders? cause that students aren?t back yet, which means a West Virginia (8-4, ) team that was blown out by Rhode Island at the Mohegan Sun and lost to Florida at Madison Square Garden in December will face its toughest true home game. Texas Tech (11-1, 5-7) gave Duke a great game at the Garden but melted down late to frustrate backers that seemingly were in control for 35-plus minutes. The Red Raiders have failed to cover in five of six. The ?under? is 9-3 in their games.

Northwestern at Michigan State (-12.5, 144), 8:30 p.m. ET: The Wildcats are already under pressure to post an upset, having started 0-2 in Big Ten play since league play started early due to a switch to a 20-game schedule. Northwestern (9-4, 9-4) fell by a bucket at Indiana and nearly knocked off Michigan, falling 62-60, so Chris Collins has another NCAA Tournament contender on his hands. A marquee win tonight will have to come by slowing down Cassius Winston, who leads the Big Ten at 7.5 assists per game and is one of the country?s top point guards. He shot 6-for-7 from 3-point range against Northern Illinois last time out to pick up a banged-up Michigan State (11-2, 9-4) squad. Derrick Pardon will be key for the Wildcats here since he?s going to have to help the visitors rebound with the bigger Spartans. The ?under? has prevailed in five of seven Northwestern games.

Nebraska at Maryland (-1, 142), 6:30 p.m. ET: There?s a great guard matchup here with Glynn Watson and Anthony Cowan going at it, but the ?Huskers are most concerned with athletic Terps big man Bruno Fernando, who dominated last year?s game with 21 points, nine boards and five assists. Nebraska lacks the size to match up, but will look to continue a hot streak that has seen it shoot nearly 50 percent from 3-point range (43-for-91) over the past four games. It will be interesting to see what tempo Tim Miles employs, but they?ve surrendered over 70 points just twice this season. Maryland has lost to Virginia, Purdue and Seton Hall but come off a 14-point win over impressive Radford and has seen the ?over? prevail in three straight.

Others to watch

Tulsa at Houston (-13.5, 131.5), 8 p.m. ET, Iowa State (-4.5, 146.5) at Oklahoma State, 8:05 p.m. ET, Temple at UCF (-6.5, 132.5), 7:05 p.m. ET, Seton Hall at Xavier (-3.5, 143), 7:30 p.m. ET, Harvard at North Carolina (-16, 158.5).

Texas Tech edges West Virginia
January 2, 2019
By The Associated Press

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) Dedric Lawson had 13 points and 15 rebounds, Kansas' young backcourt made enough crucial plays when it mattered, and the No. 5 Jayhawks held off No. 23 Oklahoma 70-63 on Wednesday night in the Big 12 opener for both teams.

Devon Dotson added 16 points and fellow freshman Quentin Grimes had 14 for the Jayhawks (12-1), who survived a nervy final minute to win their 28th consecutive conference opener.

The last time Kansas lost its initial Big 12 game was against Oklahoma on Jan. 8, 1991.

The Sooners (11-2) nearly turned the trick again Wednesday night, rallying just about every time the Jayhawks went on a run. And when Charlie Moore missed two free throws in the final minute, Aaron Calixte's off-balance runner got them within 67-63 with 31 seconds to go.

Dotson made the second of two foul shots at the other end for Kansas. Calixte and Kristian Doolittle then came up empty for Oklahoma before Dotson made two more free throws to seal the win.

Lagerald Vick finished with 12 points for Kansas, despite an off night shooting the ball. He was 2 of 7 from beyond the arc, where the Jayhawks were just 4 of 21 as a team.

Brady Manek led the Sooners with 16 points and 11 rebounds.

No. 6 NEVADA 72, UTAH STATE 49

RENO, Nev. (AP) - Jordan Caroline scored 15 points and Nevada matched a school record with its 14th straight victory to begin the season.

Cody Martin and Tre'Shawn Thurman had 14 points apiece in the Mountain West Conference opener for the Wolf Pack (14-0, 1-0), one of four undefeated teams in the nation.

Sam Merrill led Utah State with 16 points.

Nevada held the Aggies (10-4, 0-1) to 26 percent from the floor. They entered averaging 81 points per game on 48 percent shooting.

No. 8 MICHIGAN STATE 81, NORTHWESTERN 55

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Nick Ward scored all 21 of his points in the first half to help Michigan State build a big lead and beat Northwestern.

The Spartans (12-2, 3-0 Big Ten) have won seven straight this season and 10 consecutive games against the Wildcats. Northwestern (9-5, 0-3) had won three of four, losing only to No. 23 Oklahoma in overtime.

Michigan State made up for the loss of shooting guard Joshua Langford, who missed the game with an injured left ankle, with five players scoring in double figures. Cassius Winston had 13 points and matched a season high with 12 assists while Xavier Tillman equaled his career high with 14 points and grabbed eight rebounds. Kyle Ahrens scored 11 points, and Matt McQuaid added 10.

Northwestern's Derek Pardon scored 19 points and didn't have much help offensively.

No. 11 TEXAS TECH 62, WEST VIRGINIA 59

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - Jarrett Culver scored all of his 18 points in the second half, and Texas Tech overcame some early shooting troubles to beat West Virginia in their Big 12 opener.

Matt Mooney added 14 points and Davide Moretti had 12 for Texas Tech (12-1).

Lamont West led West Virginia (8-5, 0-1) with 22 points. Derek Culver finished with 12 points.

Each of Texas Tech's previous wins came by double digits. The Red Raiders had to scrape and claw to earn this one. The Red Raiders surrendered a nine-point lead in the second half. Moretti's 3-pointer with 2:08 remaining put Texas Tech ahead for good, 55-54.

Culver, who played most of the game in foul trouble, scored six points in the final 41 seconds, and Moretti made one of two free throws with 3.3 seconds left for the final margin.

No. 15 NORTH CAROLINA 77, HARVARD 57

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - Luke Maye scored 14 points to help North Carolina beat Harvard.

Cameron Johnson and Coby White added 13 points apiece in the Tar Heels' final nonconference game. North Carolina led 44-39 early in the second half before pulling away with a 22-3 run. Harvard missed 11 consecutive shots from the floor as North Carolina extended its lead to 66-42 with 6:20 to play.

Nassir Little scored 12 points and Kenny Williams had 11 for the Tar Heels (10-3). Robert Baker scored 10 points for Harvard (6-6). The Crimson had 22 turnovers.

No. 19 HOUSTON 74, TULSA 56

HOUSTON (AP) - Corey Davis Jr. scored 21 points and hit six 3-pointers and Houston remained undefeated, beating Tulsa 74-56 night in the American Athletic Conference opener for both teams.

Houston (14-0) extended the longest home winning streak in the nation to 27 games.

Nate Hinton had 13 points and eight rebounds, and Galen Robinson Jr. added 10 points for Houston. The Cougars shot only 37 percent, but outrebounded Tulsa 52-40, including 16-9 on the offensive glass, and had an 18-7 edge in second-chance points.

Martins Igbanu had 18 points and eight rebounds for Tulsa (10-4). The Golden Hurricane shot 31 percent from the field, and had their five-game winning streak snapped.

MARYLAND 74, No. 24 NEBRASKA 72

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) - Jalen Smith made a driving layup with 3.8 seconds left to break a tie, and Maryland used a late push to get past Nebraska.

Bruno Fernando had 18 points and 17 rebounds, Anthony Cowan Jr. scored 19 points and Smith accounted for Maryland's final seven points to finish with 15.

Maryland (11-3, 2-1 Big Ten) trailed 71-70 before Smith made a follow-shot off a 3-point try by Cowan with 28 seconds left. After James Palmer converted 1 of 2 free throws for Nebraska, Smith drove the middle of the lane for his decisive layup. Following a timeout, Nebraska (11-3, 1-2) tried to work the ball up the court before Ricky Lindo Jr. knocked away a pass under the basket.

Palmer scored 26 points for the Cornhuskers.

Quote of the Day
?I still have a lot of time making the decision, working with my family and teammates and coaches to figure out what?s best for me. But right now I?m excited to get this win. Excited to leave Coach with this victory for myself and the rest of the teammates. It?s a blessed situation right now.?
Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins, on whether he?ll enter the NFL Draft this year

Thursday?s quiz
How many current NFL head coaches have won a Super Bowl as a HC?

Wednesday?s quiz
Russell Wilson was the only NFL QB to take every offensive snap for his team this season.

Tuesday?s quiz
Shaquille O?Neal played his college basketball at LSU.

Thursday?s List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud??.

13) Winner of the Westgate SuperBook handicapping contest this season won $1.422M Sunday night, when the Colts beat Tennessee, edging two entrants who both had Tennessee in that game- those two guys, who needed Blaine Gabbert to cover the spread in order to have a shot at the big prize, both banked $409,000.

Imagine being involved in a game with a $1M swing and your side?s QB is Blaine Gabbert????

12) Over last three years, Pac-12 teams are 7-15 vs spread in bowl games.

11) Bowl records by conference, with one game left:

Conference USA: 4-2
SEC 6-5
Big Ten: 5-4
Big 12: 4-3
Mountain West: 3-2
Sun Belt: 3-2
Independents: 2-1
ACC: 5-5
Pac-12: 3-4
AAC: 2-5
MAC: 1-5

10) Central Michigan and Texas were only college football teams not to have at least one offensive play of 50+ yards this season.

9) Texas 28, Georgia 21? Before this game Tuesday night, Texas mascot Bevo went after UGa, the Georgia mascot down in the Superdome, and that aggression carried over into the game.

Hard to tell if Georgia let down because they didn?t make the 4-team playoff. Tom Herman?s career record vs spread as an underdog is now 9-2-1.

8) Trailblazers won in OT at Sacramento Tuesday night; Portland?s Jusuf Nurkić came the first player since steals and blocks first became official stats in 1973 to have 20+ points, 20+ rebounds, 5+ assists, 5+ steals and 5+ blocks in same game.

7) Oft-injured SS Troy Tulowitzki signed with the Bronx baseball team; they will pay him $600K next year while Toronto pays him $17.4M a year for two years to play against them.

6) Texas Tech 62, West Virginia 59? This was a truly awful game; teams played hard, but they combined to go 8-37 on the arc. WVU was 18-32 on foul line in a 3-point loss? had to be a brutal game to ref? very physical, ton of missed shots. West Virginia?s guards aren?t good.

5) Maryland 74, Nebraska 72? Cornhuskers came in as the ranked team, left with a loss.

4) Seton Hall 80, Xavier 70? Solid conference road win for the Pirates.

3) I?m guessing NFL teams generally dislike being on HBO?s Hard Knocks. Coaches hate distractions, and TV cameras are a pretty big distraction. Here are three ways teams can get out of being on Hard Knocks:

? They have a first-year head coach.
? They were in the playoffs in the last two seasons.
? They?ve been on Hard Knocks in any of the last ten years.

Taking those rules into account, only five teams can be forced into being HBO?s focus next summer: 49ers, Raiders, Redskins, Giants and Lions.

2) NFL TV ratings were up 5% this season, good news for the league.

1) Rough couple of days for people passing away, especially for 76-year olds:
? Tyler Trent, 20, the Purdue fan who was an inspiration to so many the last few months, passed away from bone cancer over the weekend.
? Wrestling announcer Gene Okerlund, 76, passed away after a lengthy illness.
? Daryl Dragon, 76, the captain in Captain and Tennille, passed away on Monday.
? One of the most underrated funny men ever, Bob Einstein, passed away at age 76. Einstein was a talented comedy writer- he was in Oceans 13 among other movies. His character Super Dave, a knock-off of Evil Knievel?s daredevil antics, made people laugh for years.

Thursday's Tip Sheet
David Schwab

Thursday night?s college basketball in the Big Ten features a double-header of betting action on the Big Ten Network wrapped around a featured matchup on ESPN including the top-ranked team in the conference.

Iowa will be on the road against Purdue at the same time that Penn State gets things started against Michigan. Later Thursday night, Minnesota will wrap things up in the Big Ten with a trip to Madison to face off against Wisconsin.

No. 25 Iowa Hawkeyes at Purdue Boilermakers (BTN, 7:00 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Purdue -7, Total 150 ?

Betting Matchup

The Hawkeyes are one of seven Big Ten teams ranked in the AP?s latest Top 25. They closed out the nonconference portion of their schedule with a SU five-game winning streak after losing to Wisconsin and Michigan State in early conference play. One of Iowa?s biggest wins came against Iowa State in a 98-84 victory as a two-point home underdog on Dec. 6.

Purdue opened play in the Big Ten with a 76-57 loss against Michigan as a six-point road underdog on Dec. 1. It followed this up with a tight 62-60 victory against Maryland at home, but it could not cover as a 8 ?-point favorite. The Boilermakers have gone just 1-5 ATS over their last six games with the total going OVER in three of their last four outings.

Betting Trends

-- The Hawkeyes are 7-15-1 ATS in their last 23 conference games and the total has gone OVER or ended as a PUSH in their last six Big Ten games.

Penn State lost both of its first two conference games (SU and ATS) early in December to Maryland on the road and to Indiana at home as a three-point favorite. Going back to the 66-59 loss to the Terrapins as 6 ?-point underdogs, the Lions are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games. Junior forward Lamar Stevens leads the team in scoring with 18.8 points. He is also the top rebounder with an average of 8.2 boards a game.

The Wolverines are coming off a SU 11-0 run through the nonconference portion of the schedule plus a pair of conference wins against Purdue and Northwestern early in December. Including that tight 62-60 road win against the Wildcats on Dec. 4 as five-point favorites, they have failed to cover in their last five games. Michigan is only giving up an average of 55.1 points per game to help keep the total UNDER in nine of those first 13 games.

Betting Trends

-- The Nittany Lions are 0-5 ATS in their last five games coming off a SU win and the total has stayed UNDER in five of their last six games following a win SU.

-- The Wolverines have failed to cover in their last four home games and the total has stayed UNDER in five of their last six games following a SU victory.

-- Michigan has gone 11-3 ATS in its last 14 home games against the Nittany Lions and the total has gone OVER in its last seven games at home against Penn State.

Minnesota Golden Gophers at No. 22 Wisconsin Badgers (BTN, 9:00 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Wisconsin -10 ?, Total 137 ?

Betting Matchup

Minnesota has failed to cover in its last four games closing as heavy double-digit favorites in all four contests. Bouncing back from a 79-59 loss to Ohio State on Dec. 2 as 8 ?-point road underdogs, the Golden Gophers did knockoff Nebraska 85-78 as four-point underdogs at home in their first two Big Ten games. Senior forward Jordan Murphy has topped his team-high 15.7-point scoring average in three of his last five starts.

The Badgers are 10-3 SU following Saturday?s 83-76 road loss to Western Kentucky as 6 ?-point favorites. The total went OVER 135 points in that game and it has gone OVER in four of their last five games. They beat Iowa on the road and Rutgers at home in their first two conference games. Wisconsin has gotten a strong effort from senior forward Ethan Happ. He has led the way in scoring with 19.2 PPG while shooting 56.9 percent from the field.

Betting Trends

-- The Golden Gophers have failed to cover in 11 of their last 14 conference games and the total has stayed UNDER in five of their last seven games on the road.

-- The Badgers are 7-1 ATS in their last eight conference games and the total has stayed UNDER in five of their last seven games following a SU loss.
