*BRADLEY over Southern Illinois....CTO scouts report Bradley can?t wait (and neither can we) for this revenge game with rival SIU following the Braves? sloppy (18 TOs) 77-64 setback at Carbondale Jan. 8, when prolific PG Ruffin was sidelined with a sports hernia. Bradley, which has already avenged two losses when Ruffin (nation?s active career leader in assists!) was sidelined for a 7-game stretch in late Dec.-early Jan., adds to the list vs. the weak-travelin? Salukis (2-10 SU, 3-9 vs. spread on road TY), who lack creative scorers,especially in hostile surroundings, such as deafening Carver Arena.

Drake -1.5
Drake is a team to be reckoned with. They will handle Missouri State today. Missouri State has 15 losses this year. They will not beat a Top 20 team. Drake is very good, they just beat #8 Butler. We like Drake today.
Those records are from their site and have been told by people that they're not accurate, fyi.

Found this: PEORIA, Ill. -- Bradley senior point guard Daniel Ruffin will participate in Senior Night ceremonies, but he will not play in Tuesday night?s 6 p.m. men?s basketball game versus Southern Illinois at Carver Arena as the University continues to review the facts related to his arrest Saturday morning.
?Daniel Ruffin will not play tomorrow night versus Southern Illinois,? said Bradley head coach Jim Les. ?He will practice with the team and he will participate in the Senior Night ceremonies tomorrow, but he will remain on an indefinite game suspension until an internal review of the facts is completed. At that time, I will have further comment.?
Bradley (17-12, 9-7 MVC) will close out its 2007-08 regular-season home schedule with an early start Tuesday night versus Southern Illinois (16-12, 10-6 MVC). The game against the Salukis will tip off at 6 p.m. to accommodate the national television broadcast on ESPN2. Bradley?s three seniors -- Ruffin, Matt Salley and Jeremy Crouch -- will be honored in a pregame ceremony to begin at approximately 5:45 and the trio will address the crowd after the game.

MISSOURI STATE
Game: Drake vs. Missouri St. Game Time: 2/26/2008 8:00:00 PM Prediction: Missouri St. Reason: I'm taking the points with MISSOURI STATE. Its been an impressive season for the over-achieving Drake Bulldogs. This figures to be an extremely difficult spot though as Drake has already clinched its first regular-season Missouri Valley Conference title in 37 years and is coming off a road win over a top 10 opponent. In other words, the Bulldogs have all but locked up their first trip to the "Big Dance" since 1971. Therefore, it would get pretty easy to have a letdown off the big road win and/or get caught looking ahead to "more important" games. Regardless of the Bulldogs' mindset, winning at Missouri State is no easy task. In fact, the Bulldogs have lost six straight here and are an ugly 1-15 all-time. Drake beat the Bears 65-54 on Jan. 12 in Des Moines. However, that game was closer than the score indicates, as the teams were tied with four minutes remaining. Missouri State may be near the bottom of the MVC, but it has been tough to beat at home, going 13-2. The Bears have won their last three games in Springfield by an average of 23.0 points. This will be the Bears' first game against a ranked opponent of the entire season and I expect a highly inspired effort. Look for them to be the hungrier team, continuing their homecourt dominance in this series.
VANDERBILT
Game: Tennessee vs. Vanderbilt Game Time: 2/26/2008 9:00:00 PM Prediction: Vanderbilt Reason: I'm taking the points with VANDERBILT. I lost by going against Tennessee in the big win at Memphis. I think I was just a game too early though and I'm going to attempt to go against them again this evening. Talk about a "letdown" spot. Not only are the Vols finally in first place in the polls and coming off a huge win over a hated instate rival but that was their first win over a top-ranked opponent since 1969. Letdown or not, this is an extremely difficult venue to play at. In fact, the Commodores have won 17 straight home games and 30 of their last 31 here. To say that the Commodores will be extremely motivated is probably an understatment. Not only do they now get a crack at the #1 team in the country but they also will be attempting to avenge a 20-point blowout loss at Tennessee in January. The Commodores were also slight home underdogs when they hosted the Volunteers last season and they managed a narrow upset win. That dropped Tennessee to 0-2 SU/ATS the past three seasons as road favorites of -3 or less and brought Vanderbilt to 3-1 SU/ATS as home underdogs of +3 or less. Looking back further and we find the Commodores at a profitable 13-7 ATS the last 20 times they were home underdogs of three points or less, with all 13 of those "covers" resulting in outright victories. They've won three of the last four series meetings here and I expect them to score another 'upset' this evening.
SETON HALL
Game: Seton Hall vs. South Florida Game Time: 2/26/2008 7:00:00 PM Prediction: Seton Hall Reason: I'm taking the points with SETON HALL. Recent results have given us solid value with the visitors here. The Bulls have come off three straight pointspread victories, while the Pirates have failed to cover in three straight. A closer look shows some similarities though. Both teams were just 1-2 SU over those games and both teams are coming off an extremely close game. Seton Hall knocked off Depaul by two points while South Florida lost by one at Cincinnati. That was the second straight 1-point game which the Bulls have played (fifth straight decided by 11 or less) and I won't be surprised to see their tendency to play close games continue this evening. Seton Hall already beat South Florida by 10 earlier this season and they also won here last February. In fact, they're 4-0 SU/ATS the last four meetings. Making it to the Big Dance is pretty unlikely. However, at 16-11, if they can sweep their final four games, they still have an outside shot. That's not quite as unbelievable as it sounds as three of those games come against weak teams (South Florida, St. John's and Rutgers) and the only "good" team is Syracuse, with that game coming at Seton Hall. Again, sweeping those four games is probably unlikely. However, the possibility is there and that gives the Pirates a lot to play for. Look for a highly motivated effort as the Pirates build off the win over Depaul, continue their success in this series and improve to 18-12 ATS the last 30 times (lined games) they had failed to cover the spread in their previous three games.
MIAMI
Game: Sacramento Kings vs. Miami Heat Game Time: 2/26/2008 7:35:00 PM Prediction: Miami Heat Reason: I'm taking the points with MIAMI. While their record certainly doesn't show it, the Heat are a better team right now than they have been for quite some time. They came very close to snapping their losing skid last time out, eventually losing in overtime to Philadelphia. As Pat Riley noted: "We did everything we could to win except win..." Facing a team which they have dominated here, I expect them to "take the next step" and earn the first victory of the "post-Shaq" era. The Heat are 16-3 all-time against the Kings here at Miami, winning five games in a row against them there by an average of nearly 13 points. Overall, Miami has gone a perfect 8-0 ATS the last eight meetings and has won the last seven matchups outright, since losing at Sacramento on Jan. 13, 2004. The Kings haven't been playing well defensively lately, as they are allowing 111.3 points over the last three games, while allowing opponents to hit 47.7 percent (31-for-65) from 3-point range. For the season, the Kings are just 9-19 SU on the road, including a 0-1-1 ATS mark as road favorites of three points or less. Looking back further and we find them at just 2-10-2 ATS (4-10 SU) in that role the past three seasons. During the same stretch, the Heat have gone a healthy 9-5 SU/ATS when listed as home underdogs of three points or less. It's also worth noting that the Heat are 28-3 SU, going 21-8-2 ATS, the last 31 times that they played a home game with an over/under line ranging from 200 to 204.5. The Heat play three road games after this, including a rematch with Sacramento on Sunday, and it goes without saying that they'd love to snap their skid before leaving town. As Dwayne Wade said: "Nobody in this locker room is going to quit..." Look for a highly motivated effort and for the Heat to get it done. *Non-Conference GOW
MILWAUKEE
Game: Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Milwaukee Bucks Game Time: 2/26/2008 8:05:00 PM Prediction: Milwaukee Bucks Reason: I'm taking the points with MILWAUKEE. I played on the Bucks in their first game back from the Break and they knocked off Detroit. At the time, I mentioned that they were healthier than they had been in the first half and that I expected them to start off the second half on a profitable run, at least at home. Following the upset over the Pistons, it wasn't a huge surprise that they were blown out at Detroit in the rematch. They didn't hang their heads though. Rather, they returned home and upset Denver in their most recent game. Michael Redd appears to finally be back to 100% health as he scored a season-high 41 points in the win over the Nuggets. He had this to say: "Major wins against quality teams, that's encouraging. We have to come out every game, from here on out, with an attitude." This game is arguably more important to Milwaukee. While the Cavs are battling for playoff seeding, currently 3.5 games out of the final spot, the Bucks are battling for their playoff lives. The Cavs were impressive on Sunday as their new players made their debut and the team won by 20 points. That was at home though and it also came against Memphis, the second worst team in the West and one with no shot at the playoffs. Conversely, today's game comes on the road and comes vs. a highly motivated divisional opponent, one which already played the Cavs extremely tough (Bucks were 2-0 ATS) in two games at Cleveland, winning one of those outright. Note that the Cavs are just 1-5 ATS this season when coming off a double-digit victory in their previous game. Its also worth noting that they've got a huge showdown with the Celtics on deck for tomorrow and that the Cavs are just 5-8 ATS on the season when playing the front end of back to back games. Additionally, they're still without Daniel Gibson and there's still likely to be an adjustment period to all the new faces in the lineup. Look for the Bucks to prove to be the hungrier team, continuing their recent strong play at home and improving to 9-3 ATS on the season after scoring 105 or more points in their previous game. *Best Bet

OTTAWA
Game: Ottawa Senators vs. Boston Bruins Game Time: 2/26/2008 7:35:00 PM Prediction: Ottawa Senators Reason: I'm playing on OTTAWA. We're getting an excellent price with the better team due to the fact that the Sens lost 5-0 at Toronto yesterday. The Sens are 13-7 the last 20 times they played the second of back to back games though and 21-13 the past three seasons after scoring one goal or less in their previous game. Additionally, the Sens will be out for "revenge" as the Bruins upset them at Ottawa a few weeks ago. Note that the Sens, who were listed at -200, outshot the Bruins by a 31-22 margin. Additionally, note that they had won four straight series meetings before that and that they've won their last four visits to Boston. This is the Bruins' first game back home off a successful 5-game road trip. That's often a difficult situation and I expect them to stumble against a fully focus and determined Ottawa club. *Eastern Conf. GOW

5 Unit Mountain West Bracket Buster on New Mexico -4
New Mexico and BYU face off in a big Mountain West contest with serious NCAA Tournament implications on the line. We will favor New Mexico at home tonight where they have been tremendous all season long. New Mexico is 15-1 at home this season with a 13-2 ATS record in home games. They are outscoring their foes by 22 points per game when playing at home. New Mexico is finishing their season strong, going 6-0 SU and ATS in their last 6 games overall. They would love nothing more than to get revenge against a BYU team that handed the Lobos their lunch earlier this year on the road. New Mexico is 18-2 ATS after 1 or more consecutive wins this season. New Mexico is 11-1 ATS after 3 or more consecutive wins this season. Cash in with New Mexico as the favorite.
3 Unit Sharp Play on Drake -1
The Drake Bulldogs are still not getting the respect they deserve here, despite beating a Top-10 team in the Butler Bulldogs on Saturday. Drake will continue their dominance in MVC play tonight when they travel to Missouri State. Drake is 9-2 against the spread in all road games this season. Drake is 7-0 ATS after a non-conference game this season. Missouri State is 1-10 ATS as an underdog this season. They lose the games they are supposed to lose, and this one definitely fits into that category. Missouri State is 0-7 ATS after a game where they covered the spread this season. They have never won in this situation. Cash in with Drake as the favorite.
NBA:
4 Unit NBA Dog of the Night on Milwaukee Bucks +3.5
Milwaukee should not be the underdog in tonight?s match-up with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Bucks have responded with 2 straight home wins over some of the best teams in the league. A 5-point win over Detroit and a 6-point victory over the Nuggets, thanks to Michael Redd?s 42 points, have this team going in the right direction now that they are healthy. Milwaukee has won 15 of their last 22 home meetings with the Cavs. Milwaukee is 15-11 in all home games this year. The Bucks are terrible on the road, but they are stellar at home. Milwaukee is 14-4 ATS in home games versus teams who attempt 18 or more 3 point shots/game - 2nd half of the season over the last 3 seasons. Cash in with Milwaukee as the underdog.

They would love nothing more than to get revenge against a BYU team that handed the Lobos their lunch earlier this year on the road. New Mexico is 18-2 ATS after 1 or more consecutive wins this season. New Mexico is 11-1 ATS after 3 or more consecutive wins this season. Cash in with New Mexico as the favorite.
3 Unit Sharp Play on Drake -1
The Drake Bulldogs are still not getting the respect they deserve here, despite beating a Top-10 team in the Butler Bulldogs on Saturday. Drake will continue their dominance in MVC play tonight when they travel to Missouri State. Drake is 9-2 against the spread in all road games this season. Drake is 7-0 ATS after a non-conference game this season. Missouri State is 1-10 ATS as an underdog this season. They lose the games they are supposed to lose, and this one definitely fits into that category. Missouri State is 0-7 ATS after a game where they covered the spread this season. They have never won in this situation. Cash in with Drake as the favorite.

4 Unit NBA Dog of the Night on Milwaukee Bucks +3.5
Milwaukee should not be the underdog in tonight?s match-up with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Bucks have responded with 2 straight home wins over some of the best teams in the league. A 5-point win over Detroit and a 6-point victory over the Nuggets, thanks to Michael Redd?s 42 points, have this team going in the right direction now that they are healthy. Milwaukee has won 15 of their last 22 home meetings with the Cavs. Milwaukee is 15-11 in all home games this year. The Bucks are terrible on the road, but they are stellar at home. Milwaukee is 14-4 ATS in home games versus teams who attempt 18 or more 3 point shots/game - 2nd half of the season over the last 3 seasons. Cash in with Milwaukee as the underdog.

Phoenix Suns @ Memphis Grizzlies
Pick: Over 213
Reasoning: The Phoenix Suns and Memphis Grizzlies meet in a Tuesday Night in the battle of the second best and the second worst teams in the Eastern Conference. The total in this game is set at 213. The number 213 is an extremely interesting numbers for both of these teams this year. The Phoenix Suns have played a total of 56 games this year, care to take a guess of what the average over under line was for all the games they played this year? Yep, you got it 213.42, right on the money. The Memphis Grizzlies have played 56 games as well this year; care to take a stab at their average total? Close, but no cigar. The Grizzlies average total this year was 212.99 .01 points away from the set total. So these two stats have simply stated that the odds makers have set this game in the dead average of each of these teams? seasons so far. However, at closer look the odds makers have set a total within 1 point on either side of this average total three times to Memphis and four times to Phoenix. All three times that the total was set in the average to Memphis it went over (3-0). Each time it was set with Phoenix it went over each time (4-0). So here is my take on the whole total situation we have going here, the odds makers did not see an advantage either way in this one so they set the dead total to grab 50% of public money on each side. However, over poses as the play here because of the styles these two teams play. Memphis struggles on offense slightly scoring 99.5 points per game and the reason games they play fall under the total is due to their lack of offense. This year the Grizzlies are 25-31 O/U, defensively they allow 105.0 points per game, a number the Suns can easily eclipse with their high powered offense that averages 109.2 points per game. The Suns defense should also allow Memphis to score more then normal. This season the Suns are giving up 104.2 points a game. I love these two teams to get running and scoring a ton of points. Jump on the 213 that should not move to much through the course of the day and watch these two teams shoot the lights out.
