WINNING POINTS

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

**PREFERRED

Georgia Tech* over Dayton by 18

Tech head coach Brian Gregory invites his former team into his ACC digs. Dayton
needed a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to beat IPFW, home, in their season-opener.
Gregory to self: ?Say, I picked a good year to invite them over, huh??
GEORGIA TECH, 70-52

Illinois-Chicago* over Northwestern by 1

SMU* over Texas State by 9

Xavier* over Miami-OH by 17

Wichita State over Tulsa* by 5

Valparaiso over Evansville* by 1

BYU* over Iowa State by 7

ISU isn?t the best defensive team around. Not by a longshot. A true road game against
an opponent that knows how to put the ball in the basket is not the best situation for
them.
BYU, 78-71.

Fresno State* over Cal Poly-SLO by 5

Pepperdine* over San Jose State by 12

After playing three nights in a row at DeKalb, IL, San Jose must go out on the road
again to face a stranger. And, they?re not a good team.
PEPPERDINE, 75-63.

WINNING POINTS

PRO BASKETBALL

Brooklyn over *Charlotte by 4

The Nets are loaded with savvy veterans so they don't figure to lose against the
Bobcats, but Kemba Walker and Co. could exploit Brooklyn's lack of athleticism on
the perimeter.
BROOKLYN 96-92.

*Cleveland over Washington by 3

Washington isn't a good road team and is playing for the second consecutive night,
but until big men Anderson Varejao and Andrew Bynum are at 100 percent the
Cavaliers aren't worth backing as chalk. Cleveland was 2-5-1 ATS the past eight times
as home chalk through this past Thursday.
CLEVELAND 98-95.

Indiana over *New York by 6
The Pacers were giving up an NBA-low 85.3 points per game. Their physical front
line, anchored by 7-foot-2 center Roy Hibbert, can take advantage of the Knicks missing Tyson Chandler and lacking sufficient backcourt scoring.
INDIANA 92-86.

Miami over *Orlando by 6

The Magic play much better at home. Just ask the Hornets, Nets and Clippers. The
Magic defeated those three teams during their first three home games by an average of 16.3 points.
MIAMI 97-91.

*Philadelphia over Toronto by 3

Rudy Gay isn't shooting well, DeMar DeRozan remains inconsistent and center Jonas
Valanciunas has been disappointing. There has been nothing disappointing for the
76ers in going 4-3 SU and 5-2 ATS so far.
PHILADELPHIA 98-95.

*Atlanta over Detroit by 4
Quietly the Pistons have gone 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 road contests through Nov.
10. It's homecoming for Josh Smith, who surely won't lack for motivation.
ATLANTA 101-97.

**PREFERRED
*Milwaukee over Portland by 10

The Bucks have won and covered the past two times hosting Portland and draw the
Trail Blazers, who are not known for their bench strength, playing on the road for the
fourth time in six days.
MILWAUKEE 100-90.

*Minnesota over Los Angeles Clippers by 5

This is the team's second meeting in nine days. The Clippers were leading the league
in scoring through the second weekend of this month, but ranked 28th in defense
yielding 106.3 points a game. Minnesota was giving up an average of six fewer points
per game.
MINNESOTA 109-104.

*New Orleans over Utah by 8

Just one week ago the team's met in Salt Lake City. The youthful Jazz are short of confidence off to the worst start of any team.
NEW ORLEANS 98-90.

*San Antonio over Boston by 16

Tony Parker should have plenty of room to maneuver against the Celtics' unimposing
front line and without injured point guard Rajon Rondo to bother him. San Antonio
was 36-15-2 ATS versus Eastern Conference foes through November 9.
SAN ANTONIO 104-88.

*Phoenix over Sacramento by 6

Sacramento just hosted the Suns last night. Phoenix was 3-0-1 ATS in its last four
home games through Nov. 9. The Suns should get a boost when starting point guard
Goran Dragic returns to the lineup from an ankle injury.
PHOENIX 104-98.

**PREFERRED
Houston over *Dallas by 12

Despite committing 23 turnovers, the Rockets still beat the Mavericks, 113-105, at
home on Nov. 1 in a game that was far more lopsided than the final score. The
Mavericks couldn't contain Dwight Howard on the boards nor match up against
James Harden.
HOUSTON 118-106.

*Golden State over Memphis by 3
The Warriors need to contain Memphis' strong front line something they didn't do in
a 108-90 road loss 11 days ago when the Grizzlies outscored them, 54-18, in the paint.
GOLDEN STATE 104-101.

WINNING POINTS

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Miami-FL* over Central Florida by 1

UCF has revenge for a 22-point home loss to what was a very different Hurricanes
team last season.
MIAMI-FL, 69-68

**PREFERRED
Florida* over Middle Tennessee St. by 21

These squads met in Tampa, FL last season at about the same point in November. The
Gators won 66-45. Afterwards, Gators guard Kenny Boynton said, ?This is one of the
most physical teams we?ve played against in a long time.? So, it didn?t bother them.
They?ve already made mincemeat of MTS?s Sun Belt cousin Arkansas-Little Rock.
FLORIDA, 80-59.

***BEST BET
Wisconsin* over Bowling Green by 30

Bowling Green shot 35.9% from the field on their home floor vs. South Florida last
week. This is their first road game, and they are not a group accustomed to getting
extra work in post-season tournaments, or playing challenging non-conference slates.
They haven?t had a better than .500 season since 2008-09. At this point a year ago,
they were playing Cleveland State, IUPUI, Robert Morris and Alabama-Huntsville
(losing three of the four). Wisconsin ? who you know is a habitual Big Ten title challenger and NCAA Tournament team -- has already played against an assembly of 4-and 5-star recruits vs. St. John?s, Florida?s perennial group of NCAA Elite 8 threats, and repelled an intra-state challenge at Green Bay.
WISCONSIN, 68-38.

Western Kentucky* over NC Wilmington by 9
A couple of early blowout defeats at Iowa and Iowa State have altered Wilmington?s
power rating to the point where they could actually be undervalued. They do a pretty
good job with ball security, and when Western Kentucky isn?t getting turnovers, they
don?t shoot well enough to really kill anybody.
WESTERN KENTUCKY, 71-62.

Gonzaga* over Washington State by 21
The visiting Cougars will be shifting philosophy to half-court press on defense. You?d
rather back them when they were doing it vs. a bum on their home floor, not Gonzaga
on the road. Head coach Ken Bone has booted one point guard per year from the team
over the last two.
GONZAGA, 82-61.

Colorado* over Cal-Santa Barbara by 15
Lack of Gaucho depth for playing against Colorado?s quick pace at high altitude is
something to fear.
COLORADO, 79-64.

PUERTO RICO TIP-OFF (San Juan, PR)
Kansas State over Charlotte by 5

Early on, K-State?s offensive numbers are very unimpressive on all fronts ? overall, 3-
pointers and from the foul line.
KANSAS STATE, 67-62.

Georgetown over Northeastern by 17
If Northeastern has anyone who can stand in the way of 6?11??, 300-pounder Josh
Smith?well, they don?t. Defensively, Smith leaves much to be desired but there will
be match-ups for anti-Hoya-ing down the line.
GEORGETOWN, 76-59.

Michigan over Long Beach State by 18
Doubt that Long Beach has the kind of good, bulky size to deploy which normally
cuts Michigan down to size.
MICHIGAN, 76-58.

VCU over Florida State by 9
Turnovers have been a Florida State bugaboo for a while and they have yet to disappear early this season. VCU thrives on unsure ball-handling.
VCU, 77-68.

CHARLESTON CLASSIC (Charleston, SC)
***BEST BET
Massachusetts over Nebraska by 18

So far, the Huskers have had the ol? ?arena christening? home win vs. one-hit wonder
Florida Gulf Coast, followed up with a 62-47 win against offensively challenged
Western Illinois. The Huskers have a 6?10? big man Walter Pitchford who likes to step
outside and make 3s, but head coach Tim Miles says, ?He doesn?t like physicality.? The
kid fouled out in 24 home minutes vs. Western Illinois, so he may disappear on some
nights. Or days. This is a 12:30 pm, ET start. Go, Chazz, go.
U MASS, 80-62.

New Mexico over UAB by 12

Davidson over Georgia by 1

Clemson* over Temple by 8


COACHES VS. CANCER PORTLAND (Portland, OR)
North Texas over Columbia by 7

Loved that **PREFERRED Columbia winner at Michigan State, but that was more
anti-Michigan State for the situation, not pro-Columbia. Two-year-old revenge for the
Mean Green.
NORTH TEXAS, 70-63.

Portland* over Idaho by 13


2K CLASSIC (Madison Square Garden, NY)
Connecticut over Boston College by 14

BC...play some defense, will ya? This will be the most amount of points these earlyseason losers have taken, so don?t be surprised if they cover.
UCONN, 88-74.

Indiana over Washington by 4
Overreaction to Romar?s ugly home loss to Cal-Irvine (a Winning Points Executive
Club game-day starred release) is possible here. The Hoosiers don?t have a 7?6?, 290
swinging his arms wildly and dropping in easy buckets like those Anteaters did.
INDIANA,71-67.

what about your guards?

PARADISE JAM (St. Thomas, Virgin Islands)
Loyola Marymount over Northern Iowa by 1
Maryland over Marist by 26


***BEST BET
Providence over Vanderbilt by 18

Friars? head coach Ed Cooley is on a hunt for an SEC pelt to bring back to Rhode
Island and frame on his wall next to Mississippi State from last year. They?ve already
beaten Boston College of the ACC this season, and Boston College can actually put
the ball in the basket. Vandy? They?ve got plenty to prove because their two home wins were against skinny-minnies who weren?t going to get in their way. Nor did they have a guard capable of leading a power-conference in scoring, which is what Providence has with Bryce Cotton.
PROVIDENCE, 75-57.

2K CLASSIC DETROIT
Florida Atlantic over Detroit* by 2

Detroit is sporting some awful shooting numbers so far and they?ve never been much
of a defensive team under this head coach McCallum.
FLA ATLANTIC, 69-67.

COACHES VS. CANCER PORTLAND
North Texas over Idaho by 9

Portland* over Columbia by 7

CBE CLASSIC (Mobile, AL)

*South Alabama over Southern Miss by 2
The hosts were pretty tough at Texas in a 84-77 defeat. They led by 14 points at the
half, and canned 13 three-pointers. Anyone capable of hitting that many 3s, and has
an inside scorer like Augustine Rubit, seems dangerous to go against.
SOUTH ALABAMA, 78-62.

COACHES VS. CANCER CLASSIC (Brooklyn, NY)
***BEST BET
Seton Hall over Oklahoma by 11

North Texas? 6?10?, 250 junior forward Keith Coleman had a 14 and 10 night in
Norman, OK recently. The Sooners were able to weather that production, but this
should be a good night to be Seton Hall?s 6?10?, 270 Gene Teague, and 6?9?, 235
Patrick Auda. Also, North Texas didn?t have a game taker-over like Seton Hall guard
Fuquan Edwin.
SETON HALL, 81-70.

Michigan State over Virginia Tech by 15
Virginia Tech will be coming off a game against VMI, a lean team that likes to run
around as fast as they can and shoot 3s. It ain?t the best way to prepare for a Michigan State team that loves to practice in football pads and helmets.
MICH STATE, 70-55.
