January 6, 2019
By The Associated Press

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) Charles Matthews scored 16 of his 18 points in the first half to help No. 2 Michigan build a double-digit lead and the undefeated Wolverines held on for a 74-63 victory over No. 21 Indiana on Sunday.

Jordan Poole also finished with 18 points for the Wolverines (15-0, 4-0 Big Ten). They are a victory away from matching the school's best start, and joined No. 8 Michigan State as the two teams without a Big Ten loss four games into the 20-game conference schedule.

Juwan Morgan scored 25 points on 9-of-22 shooting for Indiana (12-3, 3-1). The Hoosiers won seven straight since losing at Duke.

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Markus Howard scored 26 points, Sacar Anim had 20 and Marquette beat Xavier to remain unbeaten at home.

The Golden Eagles (12-3, 1-1) bounced back from an 89-69 loss at St. John's in their Big East opener on New Year's Day. They improved to 11-0 at the new Fiserv Forum.

Kareem Brewton Jr. had 25 points on 10-of-13 shooting for Memphis (9-6, 1-1).

NO. 22 WISCONSIN 71, PENN STATE 52

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - Ethan Happ had 22 points and eight rebounds and Wisconsin routed Penn State to stop a two-game slide.

The struggling Nittany Lions were without coach Patrick Chambers, who was suspended for the game after shoving Penn State freshman guard Myles Dread during a timeout Thursday in a loss at Michigan. Chambers apologized and said he was just trying to get the best out of Dread.

Brad Davison added 14 points for Wisconsin (11-4, 3-1 Big Ten). Lamar Stevens scored 22 points for Penn State (7-8, 0-4).

Armadillo: Monday's six-pack

Top six teams in country defensive eFG%

1) Texas Tech, vs schedule #304

2) Houston, vs schedule #295

3) Virginia, vs schedule #200

4) VCU, vs schedule #59

5) Duke, vs schedule #30

6) Utah State, vs schedule #121


**********

Armadillo: Monday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports weekend??.

13) Chargers 23, Ravens 17? Baltimore?s offense was totally inept for three quarters, then Lamar Jackson came alive in 4th quarter; after being down 23-3, Ravens had ball in last 2:00 with shot at a miraculous comeback, but Jackson fumbled ball away and the Chargers advance.

Same referee worked the Ravens-Chargers game in LA two weeks ago; end of 3rd quarter and beginning of 4th were dominated by the replay official, who had couple of tough calls to make and didn?t necessarily get them right.

12) Chargers are 9-0 this season outside of LA; they go to Foxboro next Sunday, their third straight week on the road.

11) Eagles 16, Bears 15? Chicago missed a 43-yard FG with 0:05 left; ball clanked off the left upright, then hit the crossbar and bounced back, as the defending champs posted an upset win.

Eagles trailed 15-10 but drove 80 yards in 12-plays, scoring winning TD on a 4th-down pass with 0:56 left. Nick Foles may soon be called Mr January.

Eagles visit New Orleans next Sunday; Dallas plays the Rams in LA Saturday night.

10) Foles? restructured contract pays him $500k for playing 33% of snaps in a playoff game and another $500k if the Eagles win that game, so he banked $1M Sunday night.

9) Kansas Jayhawks? star Udoka Azubuike is out for the season with a torn ligament in his right hand, very bad news for the Jayhwawks? national title hopes.

8) Minnesota Timberwolves fired coach/GM Tom Thibodeau Sunday, after the Timberwolves beat the Lebron-less Lakers; not sure how teams in smaller NBA markets are supposed to win- they traded their best player to Philly, then fired their coach a few weeks later. What coach are they hiring to turn things around?

7) Early lines on next week?s NFL games:
? Kansas City -5.5 (56.5) vs Indianapolis
? Rams -7 (49.5) vs Dallas
? New England -4.5 (47.5) vs LA Chargers
? New Orleans -9 (51) vs Philadelphia

6) Houston 90, Memphis 77? Kelvin Sampson?s Cougars are 15-0, best team in the AAC.

5) Temple 85, Wichita State 81 OT? Owls scored last 11 points of regulation, then won game in OT. Third straight loss for a young Wichita team, tough one to bounce back from- they led by 13 at the half.

4) Xander Schauffele shot a final round 62, won the Tournament of Champions in Kapalua Sunday, by a shot over Gary Woodland, in the first PGA Tour event of 2019.

3) Quote of the Day, part 2, from Lakers? coach Luke Walton; he is talking about Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram:

?They?re trying, but they?re young. At some point, we need more passion. We need more fight. And that?s not scoring more. That?s more diving for loose balls, communicating loudly, grabbing [rebounds].

?Brandon had some really nice crack-back rebounds tonight that we can get out and run [from]. We need that all the time from him. So, it?s not just them, but until we get healthy again, you got to play in this league with some passion and fire. It?s hard to win in this league when you are healthy. So you need to double that effort when guys are down.?

2) Cleveland Cavaliers signed G Patrick McCaw to a two-year, $6M deal; his old team (Golden State) didn?t match the deal, but then Cleveland waived McCaw Sunday, after only three games, apparently hoping to sign him for a much lower salary later on. Had they just offered him the lower salary right away, the Warriors would?ve been more likely to have matched the offer.

1) Right now, looks like the Oakland Raiders will have the 4th, 24th and 27th picks in April?s draft, which takes place in Nashville. Raiders have Bears?/Cowboys? first round picks in that draft, as result of trading Kahlil Mack and Amari Cooper.

Each week until March Madness we'll take a look at how the Top 25 fared from college basketball, but straight up and against the number, while also taking a look at their upcoming schedule.

Oklahoma (12-2 SU, 12-1-1 ATS) continues to roll right along, posting covers in nine consecutive contests. The only time they failed to cover was a 20-point paddling from Wisconsin (11-4 SU, 8-7 ATS) on a neutral-site court back on Nov. 22 as 5 1/2-point underdogs. In addition, the 'under' has connected in five of the past six games for the Sooners. As far as the Badgers, it's been all downhill since that victory against OU, as they're just 6-4 SU and 4-6 ATS over the past 10 outings.

The news out of Kansas (12-2 SU, 6-8 ATS) over the weekend wasn't good. They'll be without center Udoka Azubuike after an MRI revealed torn ligaments in his right hand during an injury in practice Friday. As a result, the Jayhawks got worked over at Iowa State (12-2 SU, 8-4-2 ATS), a team almost certain to join the Top 25 in the upcoming week. The Cyclones have won five in a row and they have covered three straight, and they should have some staying power with their next game against a ranked opponent on Jan. 16 at Texas Tech (13-1 SU, 5-9 ATS).

Speaking of the Red Raiders, they have won three in a row since a neutral-site setback against Duke (12-1 SU, 9-4 ATS) on Dec. 20. However, Texas Tech has failed to cover four in a row and seven of the past eight outings. The 'under' is also 3-1 in the past four, and 5-2 across the past seven outings.

As far as the Blue Devils, they did nothing to hurt their No. 1 ranking in a holiday break week on campus. They pushed aside Clemson (10-4 SU, 4-10 ATS) by 19 points for their fourth consecutive cover. It was a rare 'over' result in the 87-68 victory, as the 'under' was 5-0-1 in the past six games entering play, and 9-2-1 in the past 12 contests.

Perhaps I am just old, but how interesting is it that Houston (15-0 SU, 10-4-1 ATS) and N.C. State (13-1 SU, 11-3 ATS) are ranked right next to each other at No. 18 and 19? Seeing those two teams doing well reminds me of Dereck Whittenberg, Hakeem Olajuwon and Jim Valvano, as these schools met for the 1983 national title. The Wolfpack have won seven in a row since a four-point loss at Wisconsin on Nov. 27, and they have covered seven of their past eight. It appears to be clear sailing for the Cougs, as they have won all 15 games they've played while covering eight of the past 10. UH doesn't have a game on the remaining schedule against an opponent currently ranked inside the Top 25.

GREELEY, Colo. (AP) Jordan Davis scored 30 points with five assists, freshman Bodie Hume had 21 points and eight rebounds and Northern Colorado beat Eastern Washington 75-63 on Monday night.

Hume dominated the first half and Davis, the Big Sky's leading scorer, did the same in the second 20 minutes in scoring 30-plus for the third time this season. Hume had 19 points in the first 20 minutes to help UNC build a 45-26 lead.

Hume has scored 18, 19, 12 and 21 points in his first four Big Sky Conference games for Northern Colorado (10-5, 4-0). UNC was 9 of 24 from distance to increase its league lead to 161 made 3s this season.

Mason Peatling had 19 points and nine rebounds for Eastern Washington (3-12, 1-3), which won 20 games last season. Jesse Hunt added 14 points and five boards. The Eagles host rival Montana on Thursday.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. (AP) Jonathan Kasibabu had 20 points and 14 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the season, freshman Neftali Alvarez added 15 points and Fairfield beat Niagara 77-59 on Monday night.

The Stags held Niagara without a field goal for nearly seven minutes in the second half.

Jesus Cruz added 13 points, nine rebounds and three assists for Fairfield (4-11, 1-2 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference). The Stags outrebounded Niagara 39-27 and forced 18 turnovers.

The Stags hit a season-high 16 3-point field goals in a loss to Iona on Saturday, but were just 6 of 22 (27.3 percent) against Niagara. Felix Lemetti had a career-high six makes from distance on Saturday and missed all five attempts Monday.

Freshman Dominik Fragala led Niagara (7-8, 0-2) with 20 points after entering averaging 0.6 points per game, with a high of five. He had nine points at the half to keep the Purple Eagles within 41-30.

Quote of the Day

Fred Hoiberg

Tuesday?s quiz
Rams haven?t won a playoff game since January 8, 2005 when they beat Seattle 27-20; who was the Rams? quarterback that day?

Monday?s quiz
Troy Aikman played at Oklahoma before he transferred to UCLA.

Sunday?s quiz
Wade Phillips was Dallas Cowboys? coach before Jason Garrett; Cowboys will see Phillips when they visit LA Saturday night.


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


Tuesday?s List of 13: Nobody asked me, but??.

13) Philadelphia Eagles were -2 in turnovers at Chicago Sunday; over the last 40 years, NFL road playoff teams who were -2 or worse in turnovers went 4-112 in those games.

Make that 5-112. Turnovers are important.

12) Turns out the Chargers used seven defensive backs on every snap but one against the Ravens Sunday, which neutralized Lamar Jackson?s speed when he scrambled.

11) Underdogs covered the last ten NFL playoff games.

10) How is it that Kliff Kingsbury gets the boot at freakin? Texas Tech, but is a hot commodity with NFL teams? Mike Leach won at Texas Tech, but doesn?t get any NFL looks. Having coached Pat Mahomes elevates his resume; would Lincoln Riley be a hot commodity now if he showed interest in an NFL head coaching job?

9) Ohio State hired Michigan DL coach Greg Mattison as its new co-defensive coordinator; he will team with former San Francisco 49ers DB?s coach Jeff Hafley, as new HC Ryan Day tells former Rutgers/Bucs? HC Greg Schiano to take a hike.

8) Speaking of the Buckeyes, QB Dwayne Haskins declared for the NFL Draft, which figures since QB Justin Fields transferred from Georgia to Ohio State last week. If Haskins was staying in Columbus, Fields would?ve transferred somewhere else.

7) Is Haskins a first round draft pick? The last QB from a Big 14 school to be drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft was Kerry Collins, way back in 1995. Tom Brady/Drew Brees weren?t first round draft picks.

6) Things can change quickly. Three years ago, golfer Xander Schauffele started his season by missing nine of 12 cuts on the Web.com Tour; he wound up earning his PGA Tour card by only $11,687. Now he leads the race for the FedEx Cup (worth $10M).

5) #1 seeds in this round of NFL playoffs are 5-1 vs spread the last three years, but there is a quirk in there; Eagles were actually a home underdog to Atlanta in this round LY, because of Carson Wentz being hurt and his backup (the now-famous Nick Foles) starting in his place.

4) Major league baseball had a 4% drop in attendance last year, blamed in large part on bad weather in the spring and a change in how the Marlins and the Blue Jays accounted for sales (Marlins were lying about attendance before their sale).

Overall, the major leagues topped the $10B mark last year in total revenue.

3) Movie recommendation; Molly?s Game is playing on Showtime this month, a terrific movie (and a true story) about a woman who ran an underground poker game for celebrities and rich people in Los Angeles, and later New York. Tremendous movie.

2) Favorites covered eight of first nine ACC conference basketball games this season.

1)Clemson 44, Alabama 16:
? Sixth straight year underdog covered the national title game.
? Alabama didn?t score in last 44:18 of this game.
? Clemson ran a pick-6 in for a TD 1:40 into this game
? Tigers converted 10-15 on third down, Alabama only 4-13.
? Clemson WR Justyn Boyd looked like freakin? Fred Biletnikoff, catching six balls for 153 yards and two TD?s; kid has tremendous hands.
? Clemson won two of the last three national titles; Alabama is still damn good.

Tuesday's ACC Tip Sheet
January 7, 2019
By David Schwab

Tuesday night?s doubleheader of college basketball betting action on ESPN features a pair of matchups in the ACC.

The top-ranked Duke Blue Devils will be on the road against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons to start the night. In a heated in-state rivalry between a pair of ranked teams, the No. 15 North Carolina Tar Heels travel crosstown to Raleigh to tangle with the No. 18 North Carolina State Wolfpack.

No. 1 Duke at Wake Forest (ESPN, 7:00 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Duke -21.5, Total 158

Betting Matchup

Duke faced Clemson at home in Saturday?s ACC opener and it covered a hefty 15-point spread with an 87-68 victory that went OVER 151 points. The Blue Devils have covered against the spread in their last four games and the total had stayed UNDER in their previous six outings. They are 12-1 straight-up overall with a 9-4 record ATS. Freshman forward Zion Williamson connected on nine of his 11 shots for a game-high 25 points against Clemson. He also pulled down 10 rebounds while highlighting his performance with a 360-degree dunk.

The Demon Deacons slipped to 7-6 SU with a 6-7 record ATS after coming up well short against Georgia Tech in their conference opener on Saturday. They were on the wrong end of a 92-79 loss as 7 ?-point underdogs. This was Wake Forest?s third SU loss in its last four games. It returns home for Tuesday night?s contest at 3-4 ATS in seven previous home games this season. Freshman forward Jaylen Hoard was coming off his best game this season after scoring 23 points with 15 rebounds in last Wednesday?s 22-point win against Cornell. He put up 19 points against the Yellow Jackets on Saturday.

-- The Blue Devils have gone 8-3 ATS in their last 11 ACC games and the total has stayed UNDER or ended as a PUSH in nine of their last 11 games following a SU win.

-- The Demon Deacons are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games and the total has stayed UNDER in four of their last five games played at home.

-- The home team in this matchup has covered the spread in 24 of the last 34 meetings and the total has gone OVER in five of the last seven meetings at Wake Forest.

The Wolfpack opened their ACC schedule last Thursday night with an 87-82 victory against Miami as three-point road favorites. This was their seventh SU win in a row and they boosted their record to 7-1 ATS over their last eight games. NC State 13-1 SU overall with a profitable 10-3 record covering the closing number. The lone loss was to Wisconsin on Nov. 27. The Wolfpack are averaging 89.2 PPG behind a roster that has four players scoring at least 11 points a game. Senior guard Torin Dorn is leading the way with 14.5 points and junior guard Markell Johnson (12.4 points) is connecting on 50.9 percent of his three-point attempts.

Betting Trends

-- The Tar Heels have covered in four of their last five games against a team with a SU winning record and the total has stayed UNDER in five if their last six conference games.

-- The Wolfpack are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games against a team with a SU winning record on the road and the total has stayed UNDER in 10 of their last 14 home games.

-- The favorite has covered in four of the last five meetings and the total has gone OVER in six of the last seven meetings at NC State.

Tuesday's SEC Tip Sheet
January 7, 2019
By Brian Edwards

Gamblers don?t have time for any sort of hangover from the College Football Playoff finals.

That?s because Tuesday offers a stacked card for college basketball. Let?s take an in-depth look at a pair of SEC games before looking at some national notes in Bonus Nuggets.

**Tennessee at Missouri**

-- One offshore book opened Tennessee as an 8.5-point road favorite with a total of 140 early Monday afternoon.

-- Since Missouri joined the SEC for the 2012-13 campaign, these schools have squared off seven times. Tennessee is 4-3 both SU and ATS in those seven encounters, while the ?under? has cashed at a 5-2 clip. The Tigers won a 59-55 decision as two-point home favorites in last year?s showdown, with the 114 combined points diving ?under? the 141.5-point tally. Kevin Puryear paced the winners with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Grant Williams had 15 points, five rebounds and two steals in the losing effort. Kyle Alexander hit 6-of-6 shots from the field and finished with 12 points, four boards and three blocked shots, while Admiral Schofield contributed 11 points, five rebounds and two steals.

-- Since losing 87-81 in overtime to Kansas at Barclays Arena in Brooklyn on Nov. 23, Tennessee (12-1 straight up, 6-5-1 against the spread) has won eight games in a row while going 4-3-1 ATS. In Saturday?s SEC opener at Thompson-Boling Arena, Rick Barnes?s squad blasted Georgia 96-50 as a 13-point home ?chalk.? The 146 combined points slithered ?under? the 148-point tally. UT led 53-24 at intermission in this start-to-finish pimpslap. The Volunteers enjoyed a 45-30 rebounding advantage and limited UGA to 1-of-20 makes from 3-point land (5.0%!). Williams was the catalyst with 18 points, eight rebounds, five assists, two steals and one blocked shot. Schofield added 18 points, six boards and three assists, while Alexander produced 12 points and 14 rebounds on 6-of-8 shooting from the field.

-- Tennessee has won by double-digit margins seven times during its eight-game winning streak, including a 102-92 win at Memphis and an 83-64 home win over Wake Forest. The Vols handed Gonzaga its first loss out in Phoenix by a 76-73 count as 3.5-point underdogs. Schofield drained 6-of-10 launches from 3-point land while dropping a game-high 30 points on the Bulldogs. Williams produced 16 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists compared to only one turnover, while Jordan Bone struggled from the field (2-of-13 FGAs) and had only five points but dished out nine assists. UT had an outstanding 22/7 assist-to-turnover ratio.

-- Tennessee is No. 7 in KenPom.com?s rankings. UT is 4-1 in five games against foes ranked in KenPom?s Top 100. The Vols beat Ga. Tech 66-53 in Knoxville and knocked off Louisville 92-81 in Brooklyn.

-- Williams averages team-highs in scoring (19.9 points per game), rebounding (8.3 RPG) and steals (1.2 SPG). The junior power forward from Charlotte averages 4.1 assists and 1.7 blocked shots per game as well. Williams is burying 59.7 percent of his FGAs, 44.4 percent of his 3-balls and 79.8 percent of his free-throw attempts. Schofield, the senior small forward, averages 18.2 points and 6.0 rebounds per game. He?s made 51.7 percent of his FGAs, 45.5 percent of his 3?s and 74.1 percent of his FTAs. Alexander (10.4 PPG, 7.4 RPG) averages team-bests in field-goal percentage (68.4%) and blocked shots (1.8 BPG), while Bone (14.0 PPG) has an 83/24 assist-to-turnover ratio and has hit 85.0 of his FTAs.

-- UT is ranked seventh in the nation in FG percentage (51.3%) and 10th in scoring with its 86.3 points-per-game average. The Vols are eighth in the country in FG percentage defense (37.5%).

-- Missouri (9-3 SU, 6-5 ATS) has won six of its seven home games while compiling a 4-2 spread record. The Tigers took a devastating loss in late October when sophomore center Jontay Porter tore his ACL and MCL in his right knee to end his season before it started. Porter, who opted to return to school rather than go pro early like his brother Michael, averaged 9.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.7 blocked shots per game as a true freshman last year.

-- Missouri scores only 69.1 PPG to rank No. 291 in the nation out of 351 Division-1 teams. However, the Tigers can stroke it from 3-point land, ranking 20th in the country with their 39.3 percentage from beyond the arc.

-- Cuonzo Martin?s team lost three double-digit scorers and Jontay Porter from a team that went 20-13 and lost to FSU in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Senior guard Jordan Geist is the team leader in scoring (13.9 PPG), assists (2.8 APG) and steals (1.4 SPG). Sophomore power forward Jeremiah Tilmon averages team-bests in rebounding (6.7 RPG), FG percentage (56.4%) and blocked shots (0.9 BPG).

-- Since losing back-to-back games to Kansas St. and Temple, Missouri has won six straight games while going 5-0-1 ATS. A 64-62 overtime win over UCF as 2.5-point home underdogs ended the Tigers? two-game losing streak. Since then, they?ve won five games in a row by margins of at least 14 points, including a 65-45 home win over Utah, a 71-56 home win over Xavier and a 79-63 triumph over Illinois in St. Louis. Geist put up 20 points, seven assists and six rebounds in the win over the Illini.

-- Missouri is No. 74 at KenPom, going 3-3 versus Top 100 opponents. The Tigers? third loss was a 76-59 setback at Iowa St and they beat Oregon St. (No. 73) 69-63 on a neutral floor.

-- This is Mizzou?s first game since Dec. 29 and its SEC opener. The Tigers are off a 75-61 win over Morehead St. as 13.5-point home favorites. Mark Smith led the winners with 22 points, seven rebounds, two steals and two assists, hitting 4-of-9 from 3-point territory. Geist added 29 points, five boards, three steals and two assists without a turnover. He buried 4-of-8 launches from downtown and 7-of-12 FGAs. Puryear contributed 12 points, eight rebounds and three assists compared to just one turnover.

-- The ?under? is on a 4-2 run for the Tigers in their past six games. They?ve seen the ?under? go 6-5 overall, 4-2 in their home outings.

-- Totals have been an overall wash (6-6) for the Vols with the ?over? hitting in their lone road assignment. They?ve seen the ?under? go 5-2 in their last seven contests.

-- The ?under? is 8-3 in Mizzou?s past 11 SEC games, 6-2 in UT?s last eight games against SEC foes.

-- Tip-off on ESPN2 is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. Eastern.

**Alabama at LSU**

-- One offshore shop opened LSU as a six-point 'chalk' with a total of 151.

-- Alabama (10-3 SU, 5-7-1 ATS) is in a vintage letdown spot here after getting a rare win over Kentucky at Coleman Coliseum in Tuscaloosa on Saturday. Since losing back-to-back games at UCF and vs. Georgia State, the Crimson Tide is on a five-game winning streak and is 4-0-1 ATS during this stretch. They captured a 77-75 win over UK as five-point underdogs, with the 152 combined points going ?over? the 143-point total. Alabama had a 39-31 advantage over the Wildcats on the boards. Devin Mack, the transfer from Texas who sat out last season, drained 6-of-8 shots from 3-point land and scored a game-high 22 points. Donta Hall added 11 points and 10 rebounds, while Herb Jones contributed 10 points, eight boards and six assists without a turnover. Jones made all four of his FGAs and both of his FTAs, essentially playing a perfect game offensively.

-- Avery Johnson?s squad is No. 59 at KenPom, posting a 6-1 record against Top-100 foes. Alabama has a neutral-court win over Ball St. (#62), in addition to home victories over the likes of Murray St. (#61), Arizona (#55), Liberty (#65), Penn St. (#60) and Kentucky (#12). The Tide has lost a pair of games to opponents outside of KenPom?s Top 100, falling to Northeastern (#119 on a neutral court) and Georgia St. (#109 after leading by 21 at halftime in T-Town), in addition to a 70-64 defeat at UCF (#35).

-- Alabama is 1-1 both SU and ATS in a pair of road assignments.

-- Alabama advanced to the Round of 32 last year by beating Virginia Tech before falling to eventual national champion, Villanova. The Tide lost Braxton Key (7.0 PPG, 5.3 RPG) to a grad transfer and star guard Collin Sexton (19.2 PPG) early to the NBA Draft. They have everyone else back and added Mack, who is averaging 9.9 points and 3.3 RPG, and five-star recruit Kira Lewis Jr. The true freshman guard averaged 28.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3.9 steals per game for Hazel Green High School in the Huntsville area of North Alabama last year. Lewis is leading the Tide in scoring (14.8 PPG), assists (3.1 APG with a 40/25 assist-to-turnover ratio) and FT percentage (83.0%).

-- Hall (10.9 PPG) is averaging team-highs in rebounding (8.3 RPG), FG percentage (65.4%), and blocked shots (2.1 BPG). John Petty (10.7 PPG) is also averaging in double figures.

-- LSU (10-3 SU, 5-7 ATS) is unbeaten in eight home games with a 3-5 spread record. Since losing 82-76 at still-undefeated Houston on Dec. 12, Will Wade?s club has won three games in a row while going 2-1 ATS. The Tigers won an 81-69 decision over ULM its last time out on Dec. 28, but they failed to cover the number as 17.5-point home ?chalk.? Naz Reid, a freshman out of New Jersey who was a five-star recruit and McDonald?s All-American, produced 19 points (7-of-10 FGAs), 12 rebounds and four blocked shots, while Tremont Waters also had a double-double with 11 points, 10 assists and eight steals. Skylar Mays added 14 points on 5-of-8 shooting from the field.

-- LSU is ranked No. 41 at KenPom, posting a 3-3 record against Top-100 opponents. The Tigers lost neutral-court games to FSU (in overtime) and Oklahoma St., in addition to the loss at UH. They have Top-100 neutral-floor wins over Saint Mary?s and Charleston, in addition to a home scalp of Memphis.

-- LSU finished 18-15 overall and 8-10 in SEC play last year, losing at Utah in the second round of the NIT. The Tigers lost four players out of their rotation, including center Duop Reath (12.5 PPG, 5.3 RPG), but Wade brought in a top-five recruiting class nationally and Waters elected to return for his sophomore campaign.

-- LSU is led in scoring by Mays, who averages 13.5 PPG and is shooting the lights out from the field (52.6%), 3-point range (42.6%) and the charity stripe (88.2%). Mays has a 32/15 assist-to-turnover ratio. Waters (12.5 PPG) leads the Tigers in assists (5.5 APG) and steals (3.2 SPG). In fact, he?s ranked third in the nation and tops in the SEC in steals. Reid is averaging 12.6 points and 5.8 RPG, while fellow true freshman Ja?vonte Smart, a Baton Rouge native, is averaging 10.2 PPG.

-- The ?over? is 10-2 overall for the Tide, 2-0 in its road assignments.

-- Totals have been an overall wash for LSU (6-6), but the ?under? is 5-2 in its home games. With that said, the ?over? has hit a 3-1 clip in the Tigers? past four outings (two home, one neutral and one away).

-- The SEC Network will have the telecast at 8:00 p.m. Eastern.

**B.E.?s Bonus Nuggets**

-- Who leads the nation in scoring? That would be Campbell?s Chris Clemons, who is scoring at a 29.3 PPG clip. The 5?9? guard out of Raleigh, N.C., also averages 5.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.6 steals per game. Clemons dropped a season-high 45 points on the Hoyas in a 93-85 loss at Georgetown, but the Fighting Camels took the cash as 13-point underdogs.

-- BEST ATS TEAMS: Ole Miss (12-1), Oklahoma (12-1-1), Samford (13-3), Longwood (11-2) and East Tennessee State (12-3). (S/O to ETSU alum Mister Jennings!)

-- WORST ATS TEAMS Middle Tennessee (1-12), Iona (2-11), Eastern Washington (2-11), Northern Iowa (2-11) and UT-Martin (1-10).

-- Anyone notice the Kermit Davis Factor above? You and I both!

-- Michigan State guard Joshua Langford is ?out? indefinitely with an ankle injury. Langford was averaging 15.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per through the Spartans? first 13 games.

-- Kansas star center Udoka Azubuike is out for the rest of the season with a torn ligament in his right hand. He sustained the injury at Friday?s practice. Azubuike was averaging 13.4 points. 6.8 rebounds and 1.6 blocked shots per in nine KU games this year. He missed a few other games earlier in the year with a sprained ankle.

-- Kudos to VSIN?s Matt Youmans, who called New Mexico as an eight-point underdog in first-half bets and +14.5 for Saturday?s home game vs. previously-unbeaten Nevada. UNM smashed the Wolf Pack by an 85-58 count to cash money-line tickets in the +900 neighborhood. Anthony Morris dropped a game-high 27 points on Nevada for the Lobos, who are atop the Mountain West Conference standings with a 2-0 record in league play.

-- With Nevada?s loss, there are only three unbeaten teams remaining: Michigan, Houston and Virginia.

-- Tuesday?s Other Top Games to Watch:
1 - North Carolina at N.C. State (ESPN, 9:00 Eastern)
2 - St. John?s at Villanova (FS1, 7:00)
3 - Purdue at Michigan State (ESPN2, (9:00)

5 - Oklahoma at Texas Tech (ESPNNews, 9:00)

-- LAST CALLS! Wyoming at San Diego State (CBSSN, 10:00 p.m. Eastern) and UNLV at New Mexico (ESPN2, 11:00).

Top 25 Betting Recap
Joe Williams

Each week until March Madness we'll take a look at how the Top 25 fared from college basketball, but straight up and against the number, while also taking a look at their upcoming schedule.

Oklahoma (12-2 SU, 12-1-1 ATS) continues to roll right along, posting covers in nine consecutive contests. The only time they failed to cover was a 20-point paddling from Wisconsin (11-4 SU, 8-7 ATS) on a neutral-site court back on Nov. 22 as 5 1/2-point underdogs. In addition, the 'under' has connected in five of the past six games for the Sooners. As far as the Badgers, it's been all downhill since that victory against OU, as they're just 6-4 SU and 4-6 ATS over the past 10 outings.

The news out of Kansas (12-2 SU, 6-8 ATS) over the weekend wasn't good. They'll be without center Udoka Azubuike after an MRI revealed torn ligaments in his right hand during an injury in practice Friday. As a result, the Jayhawks got worked over at Iowa State (12-2 SU, 8-4-2 ATS), a team almost certain to join the Top 25 in the upcoming week. The Cyclones have won five in a row and they have covered three straight, and they should have some staying power with their next game against a ranked opponent on Jan. 16 at Texas Tech (13-1 SU, 5-9 ATS).

Speaking of the Red Raiders, they have won three in a row since a neutral-site setback against Duke (12-1 SU, 9-4 ATS) on Dec. 20. However, Texas Tech has failed to cover four in a row and seven of the past eight outings. The 'under' is also 3-1 in the past four, and 5-2 across the past seven outings.

As far as the Blue Devils, they did nothing to hurt their No. 1 ranking in a holiday break week on campus. They pushed aside Clemson (10-4 SU, 4-10 ATS) by 19 points for their fourth consecutive cover. It was a rare 'over' result in the 87-68 victory, as the 'under' was 5-0-1 in the past six games entering play, and 9-2-1 in the past 12 contests.

Perhaps I am just old, but how interesting is it that Houston (15-0 SU, 10-4-1 ATS) and N.C. State (13-1 SU, 11-3 ATS) are ranked right next to each other at No. 18 and 19? Seeing those two teams doing well reminds me of Dereck Whittenberg, Hakeem Olajuwon and Jim Valvano, as these schools met for the 1983 national title. The Wolfpack have won seven in a row since a four-point loss at Wisconsin on Nov. 27, and they have covered seven of their past eight. It appears to be clear sailing for the Cougs, as they have won all 15 games they've played while covering eight of the past 10. UH doesn't have a game on the remaining schedule against an opponent currently ranked inside the Top 25.
