3-Unit Play. #548. Take Utah -10.5 over Stanford (Thursday @ 9pm est) (Just wait on this line as it will continue to drop)
Sure they are heavy favorites today but we will roll with Utah at home against Stanford. The Stanford Cardinal has had the upper hand in this contest for some time now and it looks like Utah will finally get a leg up in this contest. Utah has been rolling Pac foes away as they are getting more competitive in all sports and adding a lot to the conference both in College Basketball as well as Football for that matter. Stanford beat this team by scores of 61-60 and 84-66 last year and look for Utah to get that revenge as they finally hook up this year. This is a Utes team that did not look ahead and just beat Colorado 79-51, USC on the road by a score of 67-39 with stifling defense, lost a tough contest to UCLA, beat Washington and Washington State by wide margins and are 8-2 ATS over their last 10 games to their credit. With this being a quality public fade as the public is taking the points here with Stanford, note the Cardinal is 5-11-2 ATS in their last 17 contests against the Pac-12 and the Utes are 42-14-1 ATS in their last 57 home games as well.

6-Unit Play. #502. Take Under 199.5 Cleveland vs. Chicago (Thursday @ 8:05pm est)
We roll with the Under here for a couple of reasons. For starters, this is a good public fade as these two teams hook up. This is an important tilt for both these teams as it is a benchmark game and note this is the only game nationally that is going on so the entire eyes of the league will be watching this game as well. The last time these two teams met, Chicago did not play well and was embarrassed by a wide margin 108-94 and 114-108 in overtime prior to that. Chicago is uniquely aware of thier lack of defensive prowess of late and they have worked on trying to improve that and consequently with Cleveland coming off such a big win over the Heat with revenge, look for Cleveland to have their small let down here as Chicago plays with revenge. Cleveland has gone 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall but more importantly, they have played the Under the last 7 out of 10 contests. Chicago also has gone under the posted total in their last 5 games as well as don?t be surprised as this contest likely goes under the posted total here. So, what you have here is a team looking for revenge, a team on a let down and a public fade as well. Let?s roll with the Under this evening.

VIRGINIA -12 vs Pittsburgh
VIRGINIA -12 -109 over Pittsburgh
The ?too good to be true? angle comes into play in this one. Saturday was a day filled with big upsets and surprise winners. A large majority of bettors couldn?t help but fade Pittsburgh as a 3?-point dog at home to North Carolina. All those Tar Heels' backers watched in horror as Pittsburgh went nuts from the field and buried 89 points on North Carolina in a rather easy 13-point victory. Now those same folks see the Panthers getting 12 points at Virginia and they are going to scoop up those points in a hurry. With the NBA off, bettors who don?t bet NHL now have a small college card to choose from and this is the opening game of ESPN?s ?Big Monday?. When a featured game has an enticing line, the prudent play is to side with the books. Folks are going to back Pitt here based on Saturday?s performance and that?s probably a mistake. Not only is this a huge letdown spot for the Panthers but this very average team has one road cover in their last 11 tries. Pitt has played just six road games all year and they have one victory to show for it. That lone win occurred in OT by a single point over Boston College. On the road, Pitt lost to Hawaii by 4 points, to Indiana by 12, to N.C. State by 18, to Duke by 14 to Va Tech by 3 and finally to Louisville by 13. This is Pitt?s third straight game against a ranked opponent in five days and they are just not good enough to compete with the #2 ranked team after a hugely emotional win on Saturday.
Not only does Pitt have appeal based on Saturday?s result, but Virginia has little appeal based on their Saturday result as well. As an 18-point favorite over Wake, Virginia got the scare of the season when they won by a single point. Wake has four conference wins in 13 games. One can never put too much emphasis on one game. Virginia took the Deacs lightly and nearly paid the price. To think that this juggernaut of a team is going to come up lame twice in three days is not reasonable. Virginia can and have held opponents to under 50 points with regularity. They are capable of blowing away a much lesser team like Pitt when said team is not in a favorable spot. Pitt is an extremely weak traveler and the price here says they?re not going to have a very good game. We?re on board with that.

A great situation unfolding nationally on Tuesday night as the public domain will be running to the Vols in what appears to be an overlay inside the SEC battle down in Knoxville. I keep mentioning "like kind" situations over the last week (February history) in College Hoops, and we can look directly at last night for that current reality. Underdog players backed Pittsburgh heavy and hard bringing down the betting line to -11 nationally, Virginia 61-49. We should experience the same type scenario here with the #1 Wildcats on the road...Finally, spread success has not been with Kentucky this season, but must note Tennessee 0-4 ATS run, not a good indicator for the underdog..SPECIAL NOTE: play this late in the day as the line will move down because of public money chasing UT...Best of Luck!

7-Unit Play. #738 Take Eastern Michigan (+1) over Buffalo (7 p.m., Wednesday, February 18)
This is one of those lines where oddsmakers have sized up two fairly even teams with similar records but failed to account for home success and road struggles. I think the line is wrong by at least a good four points. Yeah, Eastern Michigan is just 5-7 in MAC play, however the Eagles have won five straight league games at home, all since their MAC opener at home which was their lone loss. Buffalo has lost four of its six conference road games, not to mention three defeats in a row overall coming into this match-up. That all being said, I really think this line was poorly created and the books aren?t giving EMU enough credit for their play at home. Eastern Michigan is 14-1 at home on the year and a strong bet for my money considering this spread as well as the the road woes of Buffalo in the league. Eastern is also coming off arguably their best win of 2015 by taking down Akron last time out. At 16-9 on the year, the Eagles are well aware of their chances to score a 20-win season, something that does not come around very often in Ypsilanti. They?ll take advantage of being at home on their floor in route to another home victory. Eastern Michigan scores the win over the Bulls by eight.

ROBERT FERRINGO
7-Unit Play. Take #534 LSU (-4.5) over Florida (1 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 21)
The Gators just suspended their current leading scorer and their leading rebounder, Dorian Finney-Smith. This year they?ve only had two guys averaging more than 10 points a game (Mike Frazier was the other) and now they are playing without either. That means their top scorer is a transfer from Rutgers that averages 8.1 points per game. We?ve successfully bet against Florida all season long because they suck. This is a bad, bad team and at no point this year have they shown that they were anything but a collection of random scrubs. LSU is definitely flaky enough to blow this game. They have erratic guard play themselves. But they are at home and they literally have the three best players on the floor on their team. They won by 18 in Gainesville already this year ? winning outright as an 11-point underdog in a game and cashing one of our biggest tickets of the day back on Jan. 20 ? and I don?t see much to stop them from a similar performance here. Whether they stink or not, whether they have a full roster or not, this is still Florida. And they have thrashed enough SEC teams to still get opponents blood going when they come to town. If LSU loses this game to what is essentially a third-string Florida team then Johnny Jones should be fired immediately and the program should be disbanded. Florida stinks. LSU doesn?t. The Tigers should take this one.
1-Unit Play. Take #548 Louisville (-8) over Miami (2 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 21)
Angry Louisville is the best Louisville. They are coming off an embarrassing second half at Syracuse and they just got suspended PG Chris Jones back. They are not going to be happy. Miami slept its way through the first half against Virginia Tech before turning on the jets for a blowout win. That?s back-to-back covers for them. But I still think this Miami team is trending downward overall. They have one of the shortest benches in the country and their starting five have all been playing ridiculous minutes. At some point that is going to wear you down. Louisville is aggressive and angry and they should be on the attack for 40 minutes. I think this game will be close going into the final eight minutes but then the Cardinals will drop the hammer.
1-Unit Play. Take #588 Charlotte (-13) over Southern Miss (5:30 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 21)
Charlotte is, by record, one of the three worst teams in Conference USA. But the only people that would think they are ones that are just checking the standings and not watching games or scoping box scores. Southern Miss is a horror show and one of the worst teams in the country. Charlotte is a decent team that just can?t get over the hump in close games. Their last three losses were to three of the best teams in the league ? at UTEP, at Old Dominion, vs. Louisiana Tech ? by an average of 3.3 points per game. Charlotte is 4-0 ATS and they aren?t as bad as they seem. USM?s last six losses have been by 26, 2, 10, 10, 11, and 15 points. The books have shaded this line but I still think Charlotte can get over the bar.
1-Unit Play. Take ?Over? 138.0 Auburn at Kentucky (7 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 21)
1-Unit Play. Take #599 Auburn (+25.5) over Kentucky (7 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 21)
I know Kentucky is dominant. But are they going to win by 35 in this one? They?ve let teams hang around all season long. Auburn has some guys that can make some shots. And when this game eventually does get to garbage time I think the Tigers have enough guys that can make baskets that they can keep it within 30. Auburn has done nothing but lose in SEC play this year. They can?t defend and they don?t play well together. But their two worst losses were by just 14 and 20 points. They are one of the most experienced teams in the country.
1-Unit Play. Take #530 Baylor (-8.5) over Kansas State (1 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 21)
I think Baylor is better than its record has shown lately. They played really well in their last two games but blew it in the second half. I think that they are due for a big win and I think that this line is deceptively high, almost begging someone to take Kansas State. K-State won?t be put off by Baylor?s attempts to pound the ball inside. But it could lead to foul trouble. And if Kansas State loses any big men to foul issues then the levy could break. The Wildcats have won just twice in the last month ? both at home ? and they just got run by 14 at TCU. Kansas State has Kansas on deck and I think things could line up for a blowout by revenge-minded Baylor.
2-Unit Play. Take #552 Duquesne (+8) over Dayton (2 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 21)
Dayton is a different team off its home floor and this game is 100 percent a trap for them. Duquesne can be spry on their home court. They beat George Washington by 16, beat George Mason, and only lost to St. Bonaventure by three in overtime and by six to VCU. Duquesne is coming off an embarrassing effort at LaSalle and Dayton is satisfied after three straight wins ? two at home. The home team is 6-2 ATS and the underdog is 10-4 ATS in this series and the squads have split the last four meetings on this court. I can see Dayton winning this game but I don?t see a blowout.
1-Unit Play. Take #554 Texas (-2) over Iowa State (2 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 21)
Rick Barnes is an absolutely clown of a coach and this Texas team has been a disaster for most of conference play. But they played well against Oklahoma (before a vintage Barnes collapse, complete with deer-in-headlights look in the final minute). And I?m just going to play my famous Ferringo System play on an unranked team favored over a ranked team. Iowa State is clearly better and could win this one going away. But Texas needs this one a little bit more and the Cyclones are always a little suspect on the road because of their overreliance on the 3-ball.
3-Unit Play. Take #601 Virginia Tech (+13) over N.C. State (6 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 21)
I?m going to keep knocking with Virginia Tech. they?ve gotten lit up in their last two road games. But are they really going to lose three straight games by 15-plus? They suck. But are they really that bad? I don?t know. I?ve seen them play alright for stretches this year. N.C. State is a lot like Miami in that they tend to play up and down to their competition. I don?t see why the Wolfpack would be super-motivated for this game and they have a date with North Carolina coming up early next week. They just beat Louisville and they have UNC on deck so I can see them looking past Virginia Tech a bit. A nine- or 10-point win would accomplish all of N.C. State?s goals for this one so I just don?t know that this one will get into that 15- or 17-point range.
2-Unit Play. Take #603 California (+9.5) over Stanford (6:30 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 21)
I will admit that I was surprised by how well Stanford was playing into mid-January. But instead of getting out in front and anticipating a collapse I took a wait-and-see approach. They?ve lost four of five and this is more in line with what I expected from them. Cal is going the other way. They have won five of six and they have shown some gusto on the road. This is a rivalry game and this is just too many points for a rivalry game. Cal has enough guard play where I expect them to keep this one close. And Stanford isn?t some dominant force on the interior so I don?t expect them to pound the Bears into submission.
Note: The following are System Plays. I don?t divulge the secrets of my systems ? or else everyone would do them! ? and I won?t have write-ups on these games.
1-Unit Play. Take #540 Bowling Green (-2) over Buffalo (2 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 21)

VEGAS SPORTS INFORMER Raphael Esparza
COLLEGE BASKETBALL PLAY
4 Unit Play. Take #534 LSU -5 over Florida (1:00p.m., Saturday February 21 CBS)
Its no secret that the Florida Gators have been struggling as of late. Yes the Gators won their last game at home against Vandy 50-47 but before that game the Gators dropped 4-straight games. The Tigers are 11-3 at home this season and the Tigers are looking for back-to-back wins, which this hasn?t, happen since last month. The Gators roster is depleted without studs like Frazier and Finney-Smith so I see the Tigers controlling the tempo and grabbing a much-needed home win over a conference rival. Florida is 2-10-1 ATS following a SU win and the Gators are 3-7 ATS against SEC Conference opponents.
3 Unit Play. Take #658 UC Davis -4 ? over Hawaii (10:00p.m., Saturday February 21)
Have no clue on why this number dropped early this morning! UC Davis is a perfect 11-0 at home and its no secret Hawaii is a different team off the island. UC Davis will be looking for revenge since the Warriors beat them in Hawaii last month 84-76 so I see the Aggies returning the favor. Hawaii is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games while the Aggies are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games.
3 Unit Play. Take #665 Over 110 Colorado at Oregon St (10:00p.m., Saturday February 21 PAC-12)
I just can?t see the Oregon St Beavers throwing up another 37 point game at home. Yes the Beavers last home game they scored 37 points against the Utah Utes defense and I?m just happy the Buffs of Colorado don?t play the defense like Utah. Colorado defense is allowing 65ppg and if the Buffs control the tempo this game flies over but if the Beavers control the tempo my stomach will be in knots.

3 Unit Play Take #548 ?under? 128 Miami Florida/Louisville (2:00pm est):
Both of these teams have really slowed things down of late and show a recent game that didn?t even hit 60 possessions versus each other. Louisville has dropped two straight and badly need a win while Miami is also desperate with trying to improve their post-season resume. With both teams needing to win this game I expect a slow contest again here in this one.
Play ?under? the total here.
3 Unit Play Take #560 ?under? 123 Penn State/Northwestern (3:00pm est):
Pretty simple handicap in this one as Northwestern has slowed things down and become more of a defensive team without JerShon Cobb on the court for them. Penn State has seen much better defensive play with big man Jordan Dickerson playing a lot better in the middle for them of late.
Play ?under? the total.
3 Unit Play Take #706 Southern Utah +3 over Idaho (9:00pm est):
Home court is everything in the Big Sky conference. SUU is proof of that at 2-4 in conference play at home and with close losses for the most part also. They are playing a lot better of late since inserting James McGee into their lineup. They have covered four straight games coming into this one. McGee has been very impressive and makes SUU a much better team then their overall numbers say they are.
Take Southern Utah and the points.
3 Unit Play Take #689 Manhattan -3 over Siena (7:00pm est):
Huge game here for Manhattan who wants to finish in the top five of the MAAC to get a first round bye. Siena is faced with having to once again play a team who is rested while the Saints played just a few days ago. They are 0-6 this year in the MAAC when facing a team who has had more than two extra days to prepare for them like they face in this contest.
Take Manhattan here.
3 Unit Play Take #702 Tennessee Tech +2.5 over Belmont (8:30pm est):
Big Senior Day contest here for TTU as they will most likely start three seniors or more in this contest. This is always a big game for teams in this spot. They get Belmont off a huge win the other night also in this one while they have had all week to prepare for this game.
Take Tennessee Tech. On a roll in the NBA right now. Join me as pro hoops was my top sport last year in 2014 and I am seeing things very well of late. Lots of winning action still left as we hit the 2nd half of the season.

8 Unit Play. #534 Take LSU -4.5 over Florida (1 pm CBS)
SEC GAME OF THE YEAR. Florida has underachieved this season and now injuries/suspensions are starting to take their toll on this team. Billy Donovan is a great coach and will have this team back into the NCAA Tournament next year but today they will likely be without Michael Frazier (high ankle) and Dorian Finney-Smith (suspension). Florida has lost 4 of their last 5 games and had to hang on for dear life on Wednesday against Vanderbilt at home. LSU is another team that is hard to figure out with some great wins and has head scratching losses but they will win this game by default. The Tigers already won by 18 points in Gainesville this year and when the Tigers win games they tend to win big. The Tigers last five wins have come by 11.4 points and I also see this as a double digit victory. This is a game LSU cannot afford to lose if they want to make the NCAA Tournament and I believe they will get it in a big way. Florida is 2-10 ATS (1 push) in their last 13 games following a victory in their previous game. LSU is 8-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 10 games following a loss in their previous game. Both trends hold true today as the Tigers roar!
4 Unit Play. #570 Take Northern Iowa -16 over Bradley (4 pm ESPN 3) Just too teams on completely opposite sides of the standing in the MVC. Northern Iowa allows just 54.3 points per game and should dominate this game from start to finish. Bradley scored just 52 points in the first match and playing at home will allow Northern Iowa to reach 70 points. Bradley is 10-24 ATS in their last 34 road games. Northern Iowa is 9-1 ATS (3 pushes) in their last 13 games.
4 Unit Play. #650 Take Arizona -14 over UCLA (9 pm ESPN) College Gameday has arrived in Tucson for this match-up that does not warrant the hype. Outside of Arizona the PAC-12 is just not any good this season and the Wildcats have won three straight games by blowout fashion. Arizona has only lost one game since January 12th and only one of those wins has come by single digits. UCLA is 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games. Arizona has covered the spread in 8 of their last 9 games.
5 Unit Play. #676 Take South Dakota -5.5 over IUPUI (3 pm) The Coyotes have enough firepower to win this game at home today. They have won three straight games and have revenge since IUPUI beat them earlier this season. Since that victory the Jaguars have been in a freefall losing five of their last six games and only one of those games has been competitive. IUPUI is 13-27 ATS in their last 40 Summit League games. South Dakota is 3-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 games overall.

ROBERT FERRINGO
7-Unit Play. Take #534 LSU (-4.5) over Florida (1 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 21)
The Gators just suspended their current leading scorer and their leading rebounder, Dorian Finney-Smith. This year they?ve only had two guys averaging more than 10 points a game (Mike Frazier was the other) and now they are playing without either. That means their top scorer is a transfer from Rutgers that averages 8.1 points per game. We?ve successfully bet against Florida all season long because they suck. This is a bad, bad team and at no point this year have they shown that they were anything but a collection of random scrubs. LSU is definitely flaky enough to blow this game. They have erratic guard play themselves. But they are at home and they literally have the three best players on the floor on their team. They won by 18 in Gainesville already this year ? winning outright as an 11-point underdog in a game and cashing one of our biggest tickets of the day back on Jan. 20 ? and I don?t see much to stop them from a similar performance here. Whether they stink or not, whether they have a full roster or not, this is still Florida. And they have thrashed enough SEC teams to still get opponents blood going when they come to town. If LSU loses this game to what is essentially a third-string Florida team then Johnny Jones should be fired immediately and the program should be disbanded. Florida stinks. LSU doesn?t. The Tigers should take this one.
1-Unit Play. Take #548 Louisville (-8) over Miami (2 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 21)
Angry Louisville is the best Louisville. They are coming off an embarrassing second half at Syracuse and they just got suspended PG Chris Jones back. They are not going to be happy. Miami slept its way through the first half against Virginia Tech before turning on the jets for a blowout win. That?s back-to-back covers for them. But I still think this Miami team is trending downward overall. They have one of the shortest benches in the country and their starting five have all been playing ridiculous minutes. At some point that is going to wear you down. Louisville is aggressive and angry and they should be on the attack for 40 minutes. I think this game will be close going into the final eight minutes but then the Cardinals will drop the hammer.
1-Unit Play. Take #588 Charlotte (-13) over Southern Miss (5:30 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 21)
Charlotte is, by record, one of the three worst teams in Conference USA. But the only people that would think they are ones that are just checking the standings and not watching games or scoping box scores. Southern Miss is a horror show and one of the worst teams in the country. Charlotte is a decent team that just can?t get over the hump in close games. Their last three losses were to three of the best teams in the league ? at UTEP, at Old Dominion, vs. Louisiana Tech ? by an average of 3.3 points per game. Charlotte is 4-0 ATS and they aren?t as bad as they seem. USM?s last six losses have been by 26, 2, 10, 10, 11, and 15 points. The books have shaded this line but I still think Charlotte can get over the bar.
1-Unit Play. Take ?Over? 138.0 Auburn at Kentucky (7 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 21)
1-Unit Play. Take #599 Auburn (+25.5) over Kentucky (7 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 21)
I know Kentucky is dominant. But are they going to win by 35 in this one? They?ve let teams hang around all season long. Auburn has some guys that can make some shots. And when this game eventually does get to garbage time I think the Tigers have enough guys that can make baskets that they can keep it within 30. Auburn has done nothing but lose in SEC play this year. They can?t defend and they don?t play well together. But their two worst losses were by just 14 and 20 points. They are one of the most experienced teams in the country.
1-Unit Play. Take #530 Baylor (-8.5) over Kansas State (1 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 21)
I think Baylor is better than its record has shown lately. They played really well in their last two games but blew it in the second half. I think that they are due for a big win and I think that this line is deceptively high, almost begging someone to take Kansas State. K-State won?t be put off by Baylor?s attempts to pound the ball inside. But it could lead to foul trouble. And if Kansas State loses any big men to foul issues then the levy could break. The Wildcats have won just twice in the last month ? both at home ? and they just got run by 14 at TCU. Kansas State has Kansas on deck and I think things could line up for a blowout by revenge-minded Baylor.
2-Unit Play. Take #552 Duquesne (+8) over Dayton (2 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 21)
Dayton is a different team off its home floor and this game is 100 percent a trap for them. Duquesne can be spry on their home court. They beat George Washington by 16, beat George Mason, and only lost to St. Bonaventure by three in overtime and by six to VCU. Duquesne is coming off an embarrassing effort at LaSalle and Dayton is satisfied after three straight wins ? two at home. The home team is 6-2 ATS and the underdog is 10-4 ATS in this series and the squads have split the last four meetings on this court. I can see Dayton winning this game but I don?t see a blowout.
1-Unit Play. Take #554 Texas (-2) over Iowa State (2 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 21)
Rick Barnes is an absolutely clown of a coach and this Texas team has been a disaster for most of conference play. But they played well against Oklahoma (before a vintage Barnes collapse, complete with deer-in-headlights look in the final minute). And I?m just going to play my famous Ferringo System play on an unranked team favored over a ranked team. Iowa State is clearly better and could win this one going away. But Texas needs this one a little bit more and the Cyclones are always a little suspect on the road because of their overreliance on the 3-ball.
3-Unit Play. Take #601 Virginia Tech (+13) over N.C. State (6 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 21)
I?m going to keep knocking with Virginia Tech. they?ve gotten lit up in their last two road games. But are they really going to lose three straight games by 15-plus? They suck. But are they really that bad? I don?t know. I?ve seen them play alright for stretches this year. N.C. State is a lot like Miami in that they tend to play up and down to their competition. I don?t see why the Wolfpack would be super-motivated for this game and they have a date with North Carolina coming up early next week. They just beat Louisville and they have UNC on deck so I can see them looking past Virginia Tech a bit. A nine- or 10-point win would accomplish all of N.C. State?s goals for this one so I just don?t know that this one will get into that 15- or 17-point range.
2-Unit Play. Take #603 California (+9.5) over Stanford (6:30 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 21)
I will admit that I was surprised by how well Stanford was playing into mid-January. But instead of getting out in front and anticipating a collapse I took a wait-and-see approach. They?ve lost four of five and this is more in line with what I expected from them. Cal is going the other way. They have won five of six and they have shown some gusto on the road. This is a rivalry game and this is just too many points for a rivalry game. Cal has enough guard play where I expect them to keep this one close. And Stanford isn?t some dominant force on the interior so I don?t expect them to pound the Bears into submission.
Note: The following are System Plays. I don?t divulge the secrets of my systems ? or else everyone would do them! ? and I won?t have write-ups on these games.

4 Unit Play. Take #534 LSU -5 over Florida (1:00p.m., Saturday February 21 CBS)
Its no secret that the Florida Gators have been struggling as of late. Yes the Gators won their last game at home against Vandy 50-47 but before that game the Gators dropped 4-straight games. The Tigers are 11-3 at home this season and the Tigers are looking for back-to-back wins, which this hasn?t, happen since last month. The Gators roster is depleted without studs like Frazier and Finney-Smith so I see the Tigers controlling the tempo and grabbing a much-needed home win over a conference rival. Florida is 2-10-1 ATS following a SU win and the Gators are 3-7 ATS against SEC Conference opponents.
3 Unit Play. Take #658 UC Davis -4 ? over Hawaii (10:00p.m., Saturday February 21)
Have no clue on why this number dropped early this morning! UC Davis is a perfect 11-0 at home and its no secret Hawaii is a different team off the island. UC Davis will be looking for revenge since the Warriors beat them in Hawaii last month 84-76 so I see the Aggies returning the favor. Hawaii is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games while the Aggies are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games.
3 Unit Play. Take #665 Over 110 Colorado at Oregon St (10:00p.m., Saturday February 21 PAC-12)
I just can?t see the Oregon St Beavers throwing up another 37 point game at home. Yes the Beavers last home game they scored 37 points against the Utah Utes defense and I?m just happy the Buffs of Colorado don?t play the defense like Utah. Colorado defense is allowing 65ppg and if the Buffs control the tempo this game flies over but if the Beavers control the tempo my stomach will be in knots.

3 Unit Play Take #548 ?under? 128 Miami Florida/Louisville (2:00pm est):
Both of these teams have really slowed things down of late and show a recent game that didn?t even hit 60 possessions versus each other. Louisville has dropped two straight and badly need a win while Miami is also desperate with trying to improve their post-season resume. With both teams needing to win this game I expect a slow contest again here in this one.
Play ?under? the total here.
3 Unit Play Take #560 ?under? 123 Penn State/Northwestern (3:00pm est):
Pretty simple handicap in this one as Northwestern has slowed things down and become more of a defensive team without JerShon Cobb on the court for them. Penn State has seen much better defensive play with big man Jordan Dickerson playing a lot better in the middle for them of late.
Play ?under? the total.
3 Unit Play Take #706 Southern Utah +3 over Idaho (9:00pm est):
Home court is everything in the Big Sky conference. SUU is proof of that at 2-4 in conference play at home and with close losses for the most part also. They are playing a lot better of late since inserting James McGee into their lineup. They have covered four straight games coming into this one. McGee has been very impressive and makes SUU a much better team then their overall numbers say they are.
Take Southern Utah and the points.
3 Unit Play Take #689 Manhattan -3 over Siena (7:00pm est):
Huge game here for Manhattan who wants to finish in the top five of the MAAC to get a first round bye. Siena is faced with having to once again play a team who is rested while the Saints played just a few days ago. They are 0-6 this year in the MAAC when facing a team who has had more than two extra days to prepare for them like they face in this contest.
Take Manhattan here.
3 Unit Play Take #702 Tennessee Tech +2.5 over Belmont (8:30pm est):
Big Senior Day contest here for TTU as they will most likely start three seniors or more in this contest. This is always a big game for teams in this spot. They get Belmont off a huge win the other night also in this one while they have had all week to prepare for this game.
Take Tennessee Tech. On a roll in the NBA right now. Join me as pro hoops was my top sport last year in 2014 and I am seeing things very well of late. Lots of winning action still left as we hit the 2nd half of the season.

8 Unit Play. #534 Take LSU -4.5 over Florida (1 pm CBS)
SEC GAME OF THE YEAR. Florida has underachieved this season and now injuries/suspensions are starting to take their toll on this team. Billy Donovan is a great coach and will have this team back into the NCAA Tournament next year but today they will likely be without Michael Frazier (high ankle) and Dorian Finney-Smith (suspension). Florida has lost 4 of their last 5 games and had to hang on for dear life on Wednesday against Vanderbilt at home. LSU is another team that is hard to figure out with some great wins and has head scratching losses but they will win this game by default. The Tigers already won by 18 points in Gainesville this year and when the Tigers win games they tend to win big. The Tigers last five wins have come by 11.4 points and I also see this as a double digit victory. This is a game LSU cannot afford to lose if they want to make the NCAA Tournament and I believe they will get it in a big way. Florida is 2-10 ATS (1 push) in their last 13 games following a victory in their previous game. LSU is 8-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 10 games following a loss in their previous game. Both trends hold true today as the Tigers roar!
4 Unit Play. #570 Take Northern Iowa -16 over Bradley (4 pm ESPN 3) Just too teams on completely opposite sides of the standing in the MVC. Northern Iowa allows just 54.3 points per game and should dominate this game from start to finish. Bradley scored just 52 points in the first match and playing at home will allow Northern Iowa to reach 70 points. Bradley is 10-24 ATS in their last 34 road games. Northern Iowa is 9-1 ATS (3 pushes) in their last 13 games.
4 Unit Play. #650 Take Arizona -14 over UCLA (9 pm ESPN) College Gameday has arrived in Tucson for this match-up that does not warrant the hype. Outside of Arizona the PAC-12 is just not any good this season and the Wildcats have won three straight games by blowout fashion. Arizona has only lost one game since January 12th and only one of those wins has come by single digits. UCLA is 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games. Arizona has covered the spread in 8 of their last 9 games.
5 Unit Play. #676 Take South Dakota -5.5 over IUPUI (3 pm) The Coyotes have enough firepower to win this game at home today. They have won three straight games and have revenge since IUPUI beat them earlier this season. Since that victory the Jaguars have been in a freefall losing five of their last six games and only one of those games has been competitive. IUPUI is 13-27 ATS in their last 40 Summit League games. South Dakota is 3-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 games overall.

JASON SHARPE
3 Unit Play Take #860 Eastern Illinois -3.5 over Southeast Missouri State (6:30pm est):
This is a Senior Day team that I feel is the much better of these two teams ut their not being priced like that in this game. EIU not only will be fired up for their season finale here at home in this one but also for some revenge from an earlier defeat they had against SEMO in a game that they were missing two of their top guys and also let a double digit lead fade away down the stretch. The Panthers started the season 6-1 in conference play when they were hit with a loss to big man Chris Olivier who at the time was averaging 15 points per game and over 7 boards as well in OVC action. Quality big men are usually what separates the good teams from the bad in lower level CBB and the loss of Olivier proved to be huge as EIU went just 3-3 in the six games without him in their lineup. Olivier wasn?t himself his first game back last weekend as it will usually take a player a game or so to get their feet back underneath them and their timing down when they have been out of action over an extended time. He came back though in a big way last game scoring 25 points with 7 rebounds and also had an eye popping 6 blocks shots in their overtime loss to Tennessee Martin. Now back in game shape look for Olivier to make EIU a much better team.
SEMO has been a bit of a fraud in OVC play this season as their six wins have come in arguably their six easiest conference games meaning they have failed in every tougher game to date this year except for maybe their win over mediocre Tennessee Martin at home. Not only have they lost each of their seven toughest games to date this season in the OVC but they have lost each contest but one of those by double digits. Compare this to EIU who is 3-3 in their 6 OVC games versus teams ranked at Kenpom better than 200th and those three defeats were when they were in games without their big man Olivier or the overtime loss last game by a basket. If you want to add non-conference action to the mix you see that EIU has went 7-6 in non-conference games this season while SEMO is 6-7 in their non-conference contests. The bigger stat though with these 13 games is that SEMO faced the 258th toughest non-conference schedule while EIU went up against a non-conference schedule ranked 71st overall in CBB.
No doubt who the better team has been this year between these two squads. Add in the huge motivational reasons with this being Senior Day and the revenge for an earlier loss and the Panthers look to be the right side in this one. Take Eastern Illinois in this one.
4 Unit Play Take #854 Nebraska +1.5 over Iowa (3:00pm est):
Not many teams have carried a bigger home/road differential the last few years than Nebraska. The Cornhuskers have been almost unbeatable at home in the Big Ten the last few years and come into this one at 5-2 this season at home. One of those losses was to Big Ten power Wisconsin who is beating everyone in their path sporting a 13-1 record in conference play this season. Nebraska has been slumping of late with 6 losses in their last 7 games overall but keep in mind that 5 of those 6 losses came in games they were on the road and the home game loss was the one mentioned earlier to the Badgers. The bottom line here is the main reason the Conhuskers are going thru such a poor stretch of play right now has more to do with the fact their schedule than anything else.
The Iowa Hawkeyes snapped their two game losing streak last game and did so in a big way as they beat Rutgers by 34 points at home on Thursday night. The Hawkeyes rank towards the bottom of the league in team defense and are much worse than a Nebraska squad who plays as well as anyone in the conference on the defensive side of the basketball. This is a very difficult spot here for Iowa who off a big win, go back home to play rival Illinois next game and facing an opponent who has dropped four games in a row and who play with an extreme passion and confidence when at home as well.
Take Nebraska here in this one.
3 Unit Play Take #836 Oregon +5.5 over Utah (3:00pm est):
Huge home game for the Oregon Ducks as we once again look to back the Senior Day team in this one. The Ducks have been tough to beat at home this year at 6-1 in Pac-12 conference play. Their lone defeat came against the best team in the Pac-12 Arizona in their first game of the conference season. The Ducks look to have handed the controls over to their best player in Joseph Young at the all important point guard spot a few games ago and the senior should be pumped up for his final home tilt.
Utah isn?t nearly as good of a team when on the road then they are when at home. The Utes have went 3-2 in conference away games but those three victories came against three of the worst Pac-12 teams as well.
This place should be rocking and I expect the Ducks to keep things close or even win this game. Play Oregon plus the points here. Big nine game winning streak currently in the NBA and I can?t wait to take for a game going today in pro hoops action. Join me as I am on a roll right now and the NBA was my top sport last season also.

The bottom line here is the main reason the Conhuskers are going thru such a poor stretch of play right now has more to do with the fact their schedule than anything else.
The Iowa Hawkeyes snapped their two game losing streak last game and did so in a big way as they beat Rutgers by 34 points at home on Thursday night. The Hawkeyes rank towards the bottom of the league in team defense and are much worse than a Nebraska squad who plays as well as anyone in the conference on the defensive side of the basketball. This is a very difficult spot here for Iowa who off a big win, go back home to play rival Illinois next game and facing an opponent who has dropped four games in a row and who play with an extreme passion and confidence when at home as well.
Take Nebraska here in this one.
3 Unit Play Take #836 Oregon +5.5 over Utah (3:00pm est):
Huge home game for the Oregon Ducks as we once again look to back the Senior Day team in this one. The Ducks have been tough to beat at home this year at 6-1 in Pac-12 conference play. Their lone defeat came against the best team in the Pac-12 Arizona in their first game of the conference season. The Ducks look to have handed the controls over to their best player in Joseph Young at the all important point guard spot a few games ago and the senior should be pumped up for his final home tilt.
Utah isn?t nearly as good of a team when on the road then they are when at home. The Utes have went 3-2 in conference away games but those three victories came against three of the worst Pac-12 teams as well.
This place should be rocking and I expect the Ducks to keep things close or even win this game. Play Oregon plus the points here. Big nine game winning streak currently in the NBA and I can?t wait to take for a game going today in pro hoops action. Join me as I am on a roll right now and the NBA was my top sport last season also.
