Tips and Trends
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Denver Nuggets at Detroit Pistons [7:30 PM ET]

Nuggets: The Nuggets set NBA season highs for points in a half with 84 and points in a game in a 168-116 rout of the Seattle SuperSonics on Sunday night. They shared the ball and hit open shots, and for the second straight game the starters were on the bench in the fourth quarter. Head coach George Karl said his team will do their best to continue their strong play against the defensive-minded Pistons.

Nuggets are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games against the Central Division.

Key Injuries- NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Pistons (-6, O/U 208.5): Detroit bounced back from a loss to the 76ers by beating New Orleans after head coach Flip Saunders said his team played “too cool” against Philly. The Pistons have now won 2 straight and defeated 2 of the top teams in the West (Spurs and Hornets) by a combined 25 points. Chauncey Billups is averaging 20 ppg over his last 12 games, and Richard Hamilton had one of his best offensive games on Friday with 25 points.

Pistons are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games against the Northwest Division.

Key Injuries- NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Los Angeles Lakers at Dallas Mavericks [8:30 PM ET]

Lakers: The Lakers are in the middle of their most trying road stretch left of the season and have started 0-2 – both games played without Pau Gasol due to an ankle injury. Kobe Bryant said he will be more aggressive on offense, and he is averaging 30 ppg in those games without Gasol. However, it hasn’t been enough as Los Angeles has been outscored by a combined 11 points.

Lakers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 Tuesday games.

Key Injuries- C Pau Gasol (19 ppg; ankle) is OUT.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Mavs (-5.5, O/U 205.5): The Mavericks are fresh off a 98-73 thrashing of the Heat and have won 5 straight overall. Now Dallas hosts 3 of the NBA's top clubs - the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston and San Antonio - in the next seven days. Dirk Nowitzki said “we should be ready” while head coach Avery Johnson agrees in saying: “I wanted us to get some momentum.” This looks to be the case, as Dallas has won its last 5 by an average of 24 points..

Mavs are 6-14-3 ATS in their last 23 games against the Pacific Division.

Key Injuries- NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boston Celtics at Houston Rockets [TNT | 9:30 PM ET]

Celtics: The Celtics own the NBA’s best record at 53-13 and has bounced back nicely after the Jazz ended their 10-game winning streak. Ray Allen has been dealing with a heel injury, but he wasn’t missed much in road wins at Milwaukee and San Antonio. The Celtics held the Bucks to 34 percent shooting, and they were able to overcome a 22-point deficit against the defending NBA champs on Monday.

Celtics are 41-16-1 ATS in their last 58 road games.

Key Injuries- G Ray Allen (18 ppg; ankle) is questionable.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Rockets (NA): The Rockets have won 26 of their last 27 games and 31 of their last 34. They've won 15 straight at the Toyota Center and 10 in a row since Yao went out with a broken foot. Even more impressive is that they're won 11 of their last 13 games by double digits. Houston defeated the Lakers on Sunday afternoon, even with Tracy McGrady scoring just 11 points. Rafer Alston scored 31 points and McGrady said this shows just “how good the Houston Rockets are.”

Rockets are 19-3 ATS during their franchise-record 22-game winning streak.
Rockets are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 home games.

Key Injuries- F Carl Landry (8 ppg; knee) is questionable.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Golden State Warriors at Sacramento Kings [10 PM ET]

Warriors (-2, O/U 229): Golden State avoided a bad loss on Saturday against the Grizzlies, pulling out a 110-107 victory. Baron Davis jammed his right pinkie in the win, and said: “We were just sloppy.” The Warriors are 8-2 SU in their last 10 games but continue to play .500 basketball on the road while allowing 107 ppg.

The OVER is 10-1 in Golden State’s last 11 road games.

Key Injuries- G Baron Davis (22 ppg; finger) is probable.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Kings: Sacramento has been all fired up this week after a team meeting back on March 9th. The Kings have gone 3-1 SU since then with victories over the Blazers and Lakers. The Kings have increased their scoring average to 104 ppg during those games and have always had an uncanny ability to step up against the better teams.

Kings are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 Tuesday games.

Key Injuries- G John Salmons (13 ppg; ankle) is probable.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

PICK: Ohio
Your pick will be graded at: -7.5 5Dimes
EXPERT: Larry Ness
REASON FOR PICK: The all-new CBI tourney tips off tonight with four games and similar to the NIT (and likely more so), a school's motivation is key. So many times we've seen in the past where schools have felt slighted by the NCAA committee and then "mailed in" their first NIT game. Could that be the case in the CBI, as well? Now it's safe to say Brown is excited to be here. The Bears' second-year head coach (Craig Robinson) may have gotten more 'ink' this year for being Barack Obama's brother-in-law but he's done an excellent job. He took over a program which had won just 12 games per season in the previous three years and after an 11-18 (6-8) mark last year, went 19-9 (11-3) this season. As for Ohio U, the Bobcats' 19-12 (9-7) season has to be considered a disappointment, especially losing to hated Miami-Ohio 74-61 in the MAC tourney. That being said, Athens is not "big time" CBB and Ohio certainly has a chance to do very well in the CBI, considering the field. Brown shoots an impressive 47.4 percent from the floor as a team, led by guards McAndrew (16.5-5.0) and Huffman (14.9-3.1). However, the Bears start a frontcourt of two 6-5 players, Sullivan (8.7-2.7) and Skrelja (8.6-6.7) plus the 6-7 Friske (3.9-3.3). The 6-9 MacDonald (6.4) comes off the bench as does the 6-8 Mullery (4.7-3.0), although he's listed as questionable in this game. Ohio's backcourt will be tested but the trio of Walther (12.1-3.5 APG), Whittington (8.0) and Allen (4.5-4.5 APG) have seen and matched up well against, much tougher competition than this. Note that Ohio's non-conference schedule included games with New Mex St, Temple, Maryland, Kansas, St Mary's, George Mason and Ivy League champ, Cornell (more on that later). Note that FOUR of those schools are in the "Big Dance," along with Kent St of the MAC, which Ohio U beat here in Athens, 71-59. Ohio's frontcourt tandem of the 6-8 Williams (16.2-9.7) and the 6-6 Tillman (13.2-7.4) figures to be awfully tough on Brown and the Bears know it. Cornell, which went through the Ivy League regular season 14-0, visited Athens back on Nov 17, losing 102-89. The Big Red lost by 13 points, despite shooting 49.2 percent as a team, including 12-of-28 on three pointers. It's unlikely that Brown will shoot that well and like Cornell, Brown will have no way of stopping Williams and Tillman who had games of 28 points and 15 rebounds (Williams) and 21 points and eight rebounds (Tillman) against Cornell. Ohio struggles on the road this year, averaging just about 60.0 PPG but at home, the Bobcats averaged 75.0 PPG, while going 12-1 SU and 10-3 ATS. The team's lone home loss came vs Akron, when the Zips shot 60.4 percent from three floor and still Ohio lost by just three. This one is a rout by the home side! CBI 1st Round GOY Ohio U (9*).

[king64]

EXPERT: Larry Ness
REASON FOR PICK: Sports often offers us some unique symmetry. A case in point would be this year's Coppin St team, which becomes the 20th school in NCAA history to qualify for the NCAA tournament with a losing record. So I guess it is only fitting that the Eagles enter this year's tourney with 20 losses (16 wins), the most ever in a men's tournament. As everyone knows, Coppin State won 12 of its last 13 games, including four straight in the MEAC tourney (by a grand total of just SIX points!) to get here. Mount St Mary's will be its opponent in the play-in game. The Mountaineers also peeked at the right time, winning eight of their final nine games. As opposed to Coppin State, Mount St Mary's won all three of its Northeast tourney games by 10, 18 (over regular season champ Morgan St) and by 13 points (over Sacred Heart in the title game). Coppin St owns just one double digit scorer in guard McKee (16.6-4.3-3.1). Mount St Mary's counters with an excellent guard duo in Vann (14.4) and Goode (14.3-3.3-5.5). The Mountaineers also have freshman guard Jean Cajou (6.9) coming off the bench. Cajou scored 48 points in the just completed Northeast tourney, winning MVP honors. Neither team has much size, as no starters are bigger than 6-7. While both schools come in hot, it's fair to say that on paper, Mount St Marty's looks like the stronger team, especially considering its play in the Northeast tourney. All three of its wins came by double digits while Coppin St won its games by one, one (in overtime), two and two points. However, let's look at Coppin State's entire season. The Eagles opened 2-0 but then lost 19 of their next 21 games. However, a check of their schedule shows the team's first two losses came at Kent St and then at Xavier. From Dec 8 through Dec 27, the school lost at Arizona St, Ohio St, Dayton, Marquette, Indiana and Missouri. Now that's a schedule and I'm sure the school pocketed some nice "pay days." However, it also gave these players some 'big time" experience. So maybe the team's 12-1 run to end the year shouldn't be so much of a surprise? In comparison, a check of Mount St Mary's schedule shows nowhere near the level of competition Coppin State faced during its non-conference games. Look closely at the Mountaineers resume and you'll notice only Oregon and Oklahoma as big-name competitors. On the sidelines, Mount St Mary's is no longer led by coaching legend Jim Phelan, who was on the bench for 49 years, winning 830 career games. Instead, it's Milan Brown, who just completed his first winning season, after going 41-76 (.350) in his first four years. For Coppin St, "Fang" Mitchell is in his 22nd year of coaching (all at Coppin) and leads the Eagles to their fourth NCAA appearance. The last time was in 1997 and the Eagles upset No. 2 seed South Carolina, 78-65. Think that was a fluke? In the very next game Coppin lost 82-81 to Texas. I'll also note that NCAA play-in games in '02, '03, '04 and '05 featured teams with losing records. Each time, those schools won! Deja vu? You bet. Oddsmaker's Error on Coppin State (8*).

Event: New Jersey Nets vs Chicago Bulls on 03/18/2008 at 5:35PM
Condition: New Jersey Nets
Grade: Ungraded
Promotion: My Underdog Shocker is a play on the New Jersey Nets, plus points over Chicago. The Bulls faded down the stretch in last night's loss to New Orleans. That's what this team does in the second of back-to-back nights. The Bulls are 0-4 SU, 1-3 ATS when they go from a road tilt to a home game in back-to-back nights. They allow 109 PPG in this spot, while scoring just 100 PPG, themselves, and I look for them to struggle once again. The Nets have played a very tough schedule in March. They opened the month with two straight games against San Antonio, and finished up a five-game road trip against New Orleans, Dallas, and Houston. They broke through with two straight wins over the Cavs and Jazz, and now look to make it three straight, with a definite step down in competition. Chicago is playing very little defense of late, allowing 109.2 PPG in their last five outings. As mentioned above, they have not won this season in the situation they're in tonight. And, this is not the spot to expect the defensive intensity to step up. I'm taking the points with the underdog and rested New Jersey Nets on Tuesday. Thanks! GL! Scott.

Larry Ness

Game: Houston at Nevada Mar 18 2008 9:00PM
Prediction: Nevada
Reason: How about the lack of respect for C-USA? Of Course Memphis is a No. 1 seed (2nd to only North Carolina, overall) but the Tigers were the only one of 12 C-USA schools to make the "Big Dance." UAB was the only school the NIT wanted. If not for this new CBI tournament, that would have been it for C-USA. However, the CBI took Houston, Tulsa and UTEP. The Cougars have to be just sick. Houston opened the year 11-1 but finished the season with back-to-back losses to UTEP in the season's final regular season game 87-81 at El Paso and then in the C-USA quarterfinals, 80-77. Add it all up and the team's 22-9 record only gets them a plane ticket to Reno, Nevada. Why would the Cougars even want to make the trip? McKiver (23.1-4.1) is an excellent guard but he misses his partner from LY (Lafayette), who averaged 14.3 PPG. Lanny Smith(once a double digit scorer in back-to-back seasons for Houston), has never fully recovered from his injuries and averaged only 5.5 PPG on the season. Last year, the 6-6 duo of Dowell and Thorpe (10.9-6.1) was a nice pair but only Dowell (11.2-6.7) returned and the 6-8 Toney (6.8-6.1) has been an average partner for Dowell this year, at best. As for Nevada, four starters were lost off of LY's 29-win team, which made a FOURTH consecutive NCAA appearance. Trent Johnson led Nevada to the NCAA's Sweet 16 back in 2004 (then left for Stanford) but current head coach Mark Fox has been there since, as last year's team concluded a four-year run in which the Wolf Pack won 106 games. All in all, this has to be considered a good year, as Nevada went 12-4 in the WAC (a four-way tie for first-place) and after an eight-point loss to New Mex St (in Las Cruces!) in the WAC tourney, Nevada will take a 21-11 overall mark into this game. The 6-5 Kemp was the lone returning starter from LYand led the team with averages of 19.8-5.4-3.3. Fields (12.3) and A. Johnson (11.3-4.1) joined him on the perimeter with the 7-0 McGee (14.2-7.10 and D. Johnson (6.7-4.6) starting in the frontcourt. Nevada lost its second home game of the season (to Cal) but then went 12-1 SU the rest of the way in the Lawlor Events Center. The lone loss came to Boise St (won WAC tourney) on Jan 19 and Nevada ended the year with six consecutive home wins, by an average margin of victory of 19.7 PPG (only Utah St stayed within double digits). On the bench, I'll take Nevada's Mark Fox over Houston's Tom Penders, any day! Las Vegas Insider on Nevada.

Game: Oakland at Texas (4:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 2 units on Oakland +102 (moneyline) (risk 2 to win 2)

The A's have had a great spring thus far at 15-5. They have scored more runs than any other team in the Cactus League, and at the same time have given up the fewest. Justin Duchscherer continues to impress this spring with his 2.25 ERA in two appearances, and is penciled into the rotation to this point. The Rangers will send Luis Mendoza to the hill. Mendoza is trying to lock down a place in the starting rotation, but his spring performance is not aiding his case. Mendoza has pitched to a 12.15 ERA this spring, so we will ride the A's who have been great at the plate and on the hill and have what appears to be the pitching advantage here.

Sport/Type: NBA / Side

Game: (583) Phoenix Suns vs. (584) Portland Trailblazers

Time: 10:35 PM EST (TNT)

Line: Phoenix Suns -3.5

Rating: TWO-Star

Selection: (584) PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS +3.5

Analysis: With a win tonight the Suns will have won five straight a feat they have not repeated since November 30 - December 7th. They will be playing six of their next seven on the highway and attempt to keep pace with the Lakers for the top spot in the Pacific Division. Portland opened a three-game home-stand on Saturday with a 107 to 96 win over Minnesota. LaMarcus Aldridge had 26 points and 5 boards, while Brandon Roy finished with 25 points and 8 assists. Aldridge is averaging 23+ points per contest which is 6.2 points better than his season average over the last six games. Roy is averaging 24+ points which is 4.5 more than his season average during the last three games. Roy had 25 points in their last meeting with the Suns and is averaging better than 24 points a game in his last three versus Phoenix. Aldridge only had 11 points in the last meeting with the Suns and has only averaged 6 points per contest during his 5 career games versus them. We look for those numbers to improve as Roy and Aldridge have begun to play well together and so has the team around them. We note that the Blazers are 23-11 ATS when facing a team with a winning record at home over the last two seasons; they seem to get up for quality opponents. They are also 15-4 ATS when coming off a SU win and playing at home. Take this one step further and their record improves to 15-2 ATS if they also won that game ATS. If they have been having success against the spread, covering at least 4 or 5 of their last 6 contests they are a solid 8-1 ATS at home. Finally when Portland is coming in off a game where they won S/U by 10 or more points and scored at least 105 points in their last game and are now playing at home they are a perfect 14-0 ATS in that situation. Take the points here as the host takes the Kids from the Valley of the Sun right down to the wire.

Free Winner from Triple Threat Sports!
Today's Free Winner is Syracuse (-) over Robert Morris

Cuse is one team that does get excited about playing in the NIT, especially this season, as there were not real Big Dance aspirations after that loss to Nova in the Big East tournament. Boheim will have his team ready, and Robert Morris has not risen to the challenge well in this type of setting, posting a 1-7 ATS mark in tournament play, and in fact lost on their home floor in the conference tournament semifinals. Lay the lumber here.

649/650 UC Santa Barbara @ Mississippi OVER 144 (1-unit)

I always look to play these NIT and NCAA post season tourney games OVER the total because the play usually reverts back to how the teams play in the non-conference. The Goucho’s played their non-conference games at a >70 pace and the Rebels played at a >75 pace.

The Rebels finished the season 2nd in the SEC in pace with an average of 71.3 possessions per game and had game totals average 152.2 for the entire season. The Goucho’s played eight games against >70 possession teams with 7/8 playing to a combined pace >140.

The Rebels shot 48.0% from the field against in it’s non conference portion of the schedule with an offensive efficiency >110. I believe they will have no problems scoring on this Goucho defense that rates high but played in a weak conference with a weak non-conference schedule. It looks as if the Rebel offense is hitting on all cylinders as in the last four games they have shot 50.4% from the field averaging 86 ppg.

Each of these teams is pretty good at protecting the ball with the Goucho’s averaging 13 turnovers per game and the Rebels 12 turnovers per game in conference play. Last season the Rebels played two up-tempo 140+ possession games in the NIT against Appalachian State and Clemson when they averaged 3 less possessions per game as compared to this year. I look for an up-tempo game here which should easily exceed 140 combined possessions and with each team taking great care of the ball this game should go over the total.


657/658 New Mexico @ California OVER 149.5 (1-unit)

The Bears can score points. They led the conference in scoring and feature sophomore Ryan Anderson, the league's top scorer with a polished inside-outside game. Cal's problems have been floor leadership and defense. Point guard Jerome Randle can be good, but he also lapses into sloppy play at times. The defense only wishes it were that inconsistent. In fact, it's been consistently subpar, repeatedly sabotaging the Bears' chances for success. Saying the Bears defense was bad is a understatement as they ranked #301 in defensive efficiency and opponents only turned it over an average of 10.4 times per game in conference play. Bear opponents shot 47.0% from the field while averaging nearly 80 ppg.

The Lobo’s showed that they can play some offense this season averaging 74 ppg while shooting 46.7% from the field with a better offensive efficiency than tournament bound BYU. The Lobo’s have also showed that they can get out and play an up-tempo game with non conference match ups against LMU, UTEP and Ole Miss that all played to >160 possession games.

The Bears are currently on a run where they have played 15 of the last 16 over the total with the only game under the total was against Washington State. It should just be another game where they try to out score it’s opponent. Throw out WSU, Oregon State and ASU from the Bears schedule and they gave up an average of 82.2 ppg. I don’t think the Bears have suddenly taken an interest to playing any defense and the Lobo’s should be able to put up a bunch of points here.


849/850 Boise State vs. Louisville OVER 144.5 (1 unit)

The Bronco’s come into this game with the top rank pace in the WAC Conference. They average 72.5 possessions per game. The Bronco’s had little problems scoring in non-conference games against tournament teams with tough defenses putting up 74 on Washington State, 77 on San Diego and 73 on BYU. The Bronco’s shot 50.9% from the field this season and nearly 40% from behind the line.

Bronco games this season have averaged 157.4 total points per game with only 2/33 playing to a total <140. In games against opponents that had an OE>110 the Bronco’s gave up an average of 83.5 points in four games with these teams averaging 53.3% from the field. The Bronco’s have only been held to <70 points 1/33 this season and that was just under as the scored 69 in the game. This should be a fairly fast paced game and just to much offense on each team. Take the over.

Wunderdog NBA

Game: Denver at Detroit (7:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: 5 units on Detroit -5 (-110) (risk 5 to win 4.6)

The Nuggets high octane offense has now put up 305 points in their last two games. The 168 vs the Sonics was an NBA season high. We were on them in that game, a 52-point win, but we are fading them in a big way tonight. When the Nuggets score, they win, and usually cover, but when they don't they get buried. Don't think the Pistons haven't taken notice of this! Detroit takes defense personally, and when they step on the court with defense in mind, they just don't give it up. The Nuggets are averaging 109 ppg, but when they play on the road against teams in the top eight in the NBA in points allowed, they average a very pedestrian 95.7 ppg! That's a full 13+ point dropoff. The odds-makers say they don't reach 100 tonight, and that means they will be in trouble. The Nuggets are just 2-16 ATS when they don't reach the century mark. They have reached scored 100+ in 15 of 21 road games, or 71.4% of the time vs teams not in the top eight in points allowed. They have hit triple-figures in 3 of 10 games or 30% vs the top eight. Detroit is at the top of the NBA in points allowed. Just six of 32 teams have gotten to the century mark against the Pistons on their home floor this season. Denver over the last three years (six games), has never scored triple digits against the Pistons home or away, without the assistance of OT. Denver can't win when they don't score 100, and have gotten beaten up by some of the solid NBA teams on the road that play defense. They have already lost at San Antonio by 11, at NO by 24, at Boston by 26, at Houston by 28, and at Houston again by 14. Those are teams in the top five in the NBA. The Nuggets output in these games? 93.7 ppg! Detroit by double-digits.



Game: Los Angeles Lakers at Dallas (8:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Dallas -5.5 (-110) (risk 3 to win 2.7)

The Lakers are all of a sudden at risk of losing three straight. We think they do, and don't keep it close. They've had a rough schedule since sitting on top of the Western Conference a few days ago. They had to face New Orleans, then Houston and now Dallas with Utah on deck! Without the services of Pau Gasol, this team just isn't nearly as good. We were all over Houston last game as our Game of the Month and the Lakers lost by 12 points. Without Gasol again here, facing a resurrgent Mavs team, we see a similar result. Even before Gasol went out, there were signs of problems for LA as tehy have now lost seven of their last ten games ATS. Dallas meanwhile has won five straight SU and ATS, blowing out all comers. They love playing at home where they are 29-4, and they will be "up" for this game. The Lakers are 1-9 ATS the past two seasons off two straight road losses. They are also 4-16 ATS in March games this season and last. Dallas is 9-0 ATS the past two seasons at home after covering the spread as a double-digit favorite. We have momentum going in two completely opposite directions here and we'll take the team on the up, which is Dallas.



Game: New Jersey at Chicago (8:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Chicago -5.5 (-110) (risk 3 to win 2.7)

The Nets have won back-to-back games vs. playoff teams in Cleveland and Utah. Now they are a 5.5 point underdog to the Bulls who have lost two in a row and four of their last five, allowing 109 per game over that stretch? Seems kinda funny, huh? Yes. We will embrace that strangeness and back the Bulls here. The fact remains that prior to their most recent couple of wins, the Nets lost six in a row both SU and ATS. In those six losses, they averaged just 84 ppg! They are just 11-21 SU and 12-19 ATS on the road this season, allowing 102 ppg. Chicago is playing with revenge here and NBA favorites revenging an upset road loss are a 65% ATS play if they have a losing record. The Bulls are 11-3 ATS in their last fourteen games vs. teams that allow 100+ ppg. New Jersey is 14-23 ATS this season ass an underdog and they are 3-13 ATS after covering two of their last three games. Bulls in a big win here.



Game: Boston at Houston (9:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Game Total UNDER 182.5 -110 (risk 3 to win 2.7)

Houston has now won 22 consecutive games and will face the NBA's best team, at least record-wise, tonight at home. It is about as close to a playoff game atmosphere as you'll ever find in an NBA regular season game. When you consider defense, it is reflective most noticeably in the play of Houston, Boston, San Antonio and Detroit. Houston has had two at home with San Antonio, and no one has gotten to even 90 points. Boston has had three games with Detroit and the highest points prodcued was 92, with no game reaching 180 total points scored. Houston also played San Antonio on the road, and the total points scored was 174. Now we have the ultimate two defenses, squaring off in nothing short of a playoff game. As a result, this game will be hard pressed to touch 180, and is likely to be played in the mid-80s to the winner. We like this to go UNDER as is, but the special nature of this one adds to the value, as we have a regular season line in a game with playoff intensity.



Game: Boston at Houston (9:35 PM Eastern)
Pick: 4 units on First Half UNDER 90.5 -110 (risk 4 to win 3.6)

For many of the same reasons, we like this high-intensity game to also go UNDER in the first half.



Game: Golden State at Sacramento (10:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Game Total OVER 229 -110 (risk 3 to win 2.7)

The Warriors are averaging 116 per game over their last five while allowing 106. Sacramento scores 105 per game at home while allowing 102. This is why this total is set at 229. Yes, high, but not high enough given the styles and recent play of these two teams. Sacramento is 31-24 OVER the past two seasons vs. winning teams. They are 35-18 OVER during that span vs. teams that hoist up 18+ three pointers per game (the Warriors average 27 per contest). The Kings are also 41-28 the spast two seasons vs. teams that allow 100+ ppg. In games that are expected to come down to the wire (line of +3 to -3), Golden State is 14-6 OVER this season. They are also 24-14 OVER after scoring 100+ in four straight games. This one's going to be a shootout of epic proportions.

Game: Phoenix Coyotes vs. Edmonton Oilers Game Time: 3/18/2008 9:35:00 PM Prediction: under Reason: I'm playing on Phoenix and Edmonton to finish UNDER the number. These teams played a relatively high-scoring game against each other at Phoenix recently. With a ton on the line, I'm expecting a much lower-scoring affair this evening. The Coyotes managed only one goal at Vancouver last night. That marked the 11th time in their past 12 games that they've scored two goals or less. The lone 'other' game saw them manage only three. Not surprisingly, the UNDER was a profitable 8-3-1 during that stretch. Its also worth noting that they've seen the UNDER go 3-1 the last four times that they played the second of back to back games and that they scored a total of only six goals during that 4-game stretch. The Oilers knocked off the Sharks 2-1 last time out and only two of those goals came in regulation. For the season, they've seen the UNDER go 14-7 when playing a home game with an over/under line of 5.5. Looking back further and we find the UNDER at a highly profitable 112-67 (63&#37;) when they've been in that situation (home game with a total of 5.5) over the past decade. Look for those numbers to improve as this evening's "defensive battle" falls below the number once again. *Annihilator

COMP.....

GAME: Denver Nuggets @ Detroit Pistons Mar 18, 2008 7:30PM
EXPERT: David ********
SPORT: National Basketball Assoc.
PICK: under
Offered at: 212.5 WSEX
REASON FOR PICK: 4* DENVER/DETROIT Under

The market behavior on this one should not come as a surprise at all, off of that Nugget explosion against Seattle on Sunday night, making it a remarkable 305 points over the last two games. The oddsmakers saw that coming, of course, when they opened a 209 that was already higher than it should have been, and now we see 212.5 becoming common. We are not sure that this one can go any higher, so we will play now. This is not the Harlem Globetrotters vs. the Washington Generals anymore.

If you are George Karl, among the last things that you want to do off of those offensive explosions is to face a team like Detroit on the road. The Pistons take a lot of pride in their defense and physical play, and will relish the opportunity to give the Nuggets their comeuppance. That is what this kind of team does, and you can imagine Rasheed Wallace chalking his elbows while watching those recent Denver films. And to slow the Nuggets down will not be anything new - there have been five meetings between these teams since Karl took over in Denver, and they have played to an average of 188.6 points in regulation, with the Nuggets failing to reach 100 in any of them.

This is not just about defense, of course - the Pistons are masters at controlling tempo at the offensive end, which helps to keep running opponents from ever getting out of the starting gates. They have only been involved in five home games all season in which the posted Total was higher than 195, and those games played 4-1 to the Under, finishing a collective 75 points below the projections, a full 15 points per game. With this being only the 5th game in 11 days on the current home stand the physical freshness is there to execute a game plan similar to that 98-93 win in Denver three weeks ago, when they had little time to prepare (played at Phoenix the previous day), yet still had full command of the tempo. An offense that is second in the NBA at taking care of the basketball won’t be forced out of their preferred rhythm and timing, which gives us plenty of room to work with at this price.

COMP.....Larry Ness

GAME: Phoenix Suns @ Portland Trail Blazers Mar 18, 2008 10:30PM
SPORT: National Basketball Assoc.
PICK: Portland Trail Blazers
Offered at: 4 BoDog
REASON FOR PICK: Have the Suns finally got "the hang" of playing with Shaq? Phoenix will take a four-game winning streak into this game but let's look a little closer. First of all, the four wins came at home and except for the first game of the winning streak, a 94-87 win over the Spurs, Shaq has been a non-factor. Shaq had 14 points and 16 boards vs San Antonio but in the Suns' last three wins, in which they've averaged 127.3 PPG, Shaq's taken a total of just 12 shots, while averaging 9.3 PPG. Maybe the Suns are better with Shaq NOT contributing? Anyway, Phoenix won at Portland not that long ago (March 4), 97-92 That's really nothing new, as the Suns have won seven straight and 11 of their last 12 games against the Blazers. However, the Blazers are a very solid 23-9 SU at home this year, going 8-3 ATS as home dogs. The team is also 8-3 ATS over its last 11 overall games. Roy (19.3-4.9-5.8) is having another superb season (was R-O-Y last year) plus Aldridge (17.5-7.3) has made great strides in his second season, coming into this game having averaged 23.7 PPG over his last six outings. The difference between Portland now and then (when the Blazers went 17-1 SU and 16-2 ATS from Dec 3-Jan 9) is, that the role players are not stepping up as well on a regular basis. All that said, let's remember that Phoenix is just 2-2 SU on the road with Shaq, getting beat at New Orleans (by 17) and Denver (by 13), while winning at Memphis (big deal!) and here in Portland (by just five). In that March 4 loss, the Blazers were only 2-of-15 from behind the three-point line. A 4-for-15 performance would have meant a one-point win. I'm taking the home dog.

GAME: Stephen F. Austin @ Massachusetts Mar 18, 2008 6:00PM
SPORT: College Basketball Picks
PICK: Stephen F. Austin
Offered at: 9.5 betED
REASON FOR PICK: ***Note Early Start Time*** The NIT cannot be looked at the same way as the NCAA Tournament or the regular season for that matter. While the games are decided on the court, a lot of them are already decided before the games are even played and this could be one of those. Massachusetts has no interest in playing in this game or in this tournament. The Minutemen had a very good season and they thought they could sneak into the Big Dance but the résumé just wasn’t good enough.

While they are disappointed to not be going to the NCAA Tournament, it will be hard for them to be getting up for this game following what happened in the Atlantic Ten Tournament. Massachusetts had an 18-point lead in the second half against Charlotte and also a nine-point lead with less than five minutes to go but the 49ers rallied for a second straight night. Leading scorer Gary Forbes along with other teammates lay stunned on the floor after the game showing what a disappointment it really was.

While the Minutemen want no part of this, Stephen F. Austin is thrilled to be here. The Lumberjacks are not happy about losing in the Southland Tournament to Northwestern St. but this is the first appearance in a national tournament in over 20 years so it is special. This is the best season since joining Division I 21 years ago and their record ended up being the 10th best in the country. Sure they came from a weak conference but they went to San Diego and Oklahoma and came away with outright victories.

The Lumberjacks five losses this season are due to the top two scorers having been contained offensively. Josh Alexander and Matt Kingsly average combined 31.9 ppg and the Lumberjacks are 19-1 this season when both reach double figures, and they are undefeated at 10-0 when they both score their average. The Minutemen do not have a defense that can contain both and they should be able have their success down low. Massachusetts has only one player taller than 6’7” that contributes significantly.

On the flip side, the Lumberjacks have held 21 opponents to 60 points or fewer and have only allowed three teams to score more than 70 points. They have held opponents to 39.2 percent shooting from the floor which is 14th in the country. The numbers do not get much worse on the road either. Another big factor is free throw shooting as they are hitting 73.9 percent over their last five games while Massachusetts is hitting a mere 63.2 percent over that same span. Massachusetts is on upset alert as a large favorite. Play Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks 1 Unit

COMP....THE P R E Z

GAME: Los Angeles Lakers @ Dallas Mavericks Mar 18, 2008 8:30PM
SPORT: National Basketball Assoc.
PICK: over
Offered at: 205 BoDog
REASON FOR PICK: The loss of center Pau Gasol (ankle) makes the Lakers -- less defensive -- and more reliant on the outside jumper. Dallas, who has picked up their defensive intensity as of late, still isn't the stop-unit they've been the last two years. The two Western Conference powers, Los Angeles and Dallas, enter a Tuesday night affair staring down a 205.5 total, one that should easily be surpassed, as each team will struggle to stop the other.

Dallas' victories over the last two months have come against the leagues weak sisters -- the Eastern conference -- and the Lakers didn't realize how dependent they had become on their center position until Gasol went down last week. In fact, Dallas hasn't beaten another Western contender since January.

As ominous as not beating a Western Conference foe may sound, the Mavs have won five in a row to remain but 2 1/2 games behind state-mate Houston. Since the acquisition of Jason Kidd, Dallas is 0-5 against current playoff teams losing to New Orleans, San Antonio, the Lakers, Utah and Houston.

The Over is 4-0 in Lakers last 4 games as a road dog (plus 5.5 at Dallas tonight) and is 6-0 in Lakers last 6 games following a S.U. loss (Houston).

Key Stat: The Mavs have gone over the total seven straight times against Pacific division foes.

The Lakers will need 40 points from Kobe Bryant tonight -- which they will get -- and the Mavs will take advantage of mismatches in the paint to find the charity stripe 30 times. The combination of these two factors alone offer investors a top play on OVER the total in Dallas.

comp....Stephen Nover



GAME: Boston Celtics @ Houston Rockets Mar 18, 2008 9:30PM
SPORT: National Basketball Assoc.
PICK: Boston Celtics
Offered at: 4.5 WSEX
REASON FOR PICK: Due respect to the Houston Rockets and their mind-boggling 22-game winning streak, but anytime I can get this many points with the better team I'm playing the underdog.

All the Celtics have done lately is win 12 of their last 13 games. Kevin Garnett is back in rhythm and Sam Cassell is fitting in better with each game.

You say the Celtics won't have much left after a huge come from behind road victory against San Antonio last night? I disagree. Boston has won 13 of 15 times when playing in the second of back-to-back games. Garnett and Paul Pierce haven't been overworked. They are primed for situations like this. This is the rare spot when the pressure isn't on them and the Celtics. The pressure is all on the Rockets at home with expectations raised above their talent level.

You say the Celtics are in trouble because Ray Allen probably isn't going to play again because of an ankle injury. That didn't make any difference last night did it? The Celtics still have perimeter shooters, including Cassell and dangerous reserve Eddie House.

Let's not forget the Rockets are without Yao Ming. If this were a chess match, I would exchange Allen for Yao anytime when backing the Celtics.

Coppin State +7 over Mount St Mary's
Coppin State is a team lead by all seniors and they have the best player on the court in senior point guard Tywain McKee. Mckee can take over a game and on a National Spotlight with the whole country watching I believe he will do just that. Mount St. Mary's is probably the better team and they have a very deep bench, but this is a win or lose situation so I am more looking for how starters are doing. Coppin State started the season 4-19, but in those losses played a number of tournament teams. Those teams all beat them, but experience of big games will help. The bottom line is Coppin State lost 20 games this year and maybe the worst team according to their record ever to get into the tourney. They simply have nothing to lose. Look for McKee and the rest of the seniors to make this a very close game. Seven points is too high. Take the dog!

New York Money Club

The Maryland Terps (18-13) travel to Minnesota to take on the Golden Gophers (18-12) in the opening round of the NIT Tuesday night, 9:30 EDT. These teams had higher aspirations just a few weeks ago but each struggled when it mattered down the stretch and failed to make their way to the Dance. A post tournament let down might be anticipated of both these teams but the key here is the Gophers very WEAK play (4-13) versus teams rated in the top 115 and the Terps stronger play (10-12) versus teams rated in the top 115. The fact that Maryland has lost 3 straight, including a very close contest in their tournament game to mediocre Boston College, but have had 4 full days in which to shrug off their disappointment and refocus for a squad which just finished 3 consecutive nail-biters, actually plays directly in favour of the visiting Terps to steal a win.
WINNER: Take Maryland +3.5 (+4 should come available later)

Phoenix has won seven straight and 11 of the last 12 meetings, including six of its last seven at Portland. Go with the Phoenix Suns tonight at the Rose Garden for their fifth straight win. The Trail Blazers will have a big task staying with the Suns. Phoenix is the second highest scoring team in the league averaging 110 points per game.
Portland is a horrible 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games at home and 1-6 ATS in its last 7 home games against Phoenix.

Miami Heat (11-54) at Milwaukee Bucks (23-43)

The struggling Milwaukee Bucks should have no problem snatching a win at home over the sorry Miami Heat. The cave in Heat is a ghastly 11-54 this season, 5-26 away from home They are the worst offensive team in the league averaging 93.4 points per game.

Milwaukee is 7-3 ATS in its last 10 games at home and has won and covered both clashes against Miami this season. However, the Bucks are hurting, playing poorly. Laying 9.5 points may be a bit hefty even against the sorry Miami Heat . Milwaukee won both battles against Miami this season, but they were close, 98-92 and 103-98. Go with the gloomy Miami Heat to cover the spread tonight at the Bradley Center. The Bucks have dropped five in a row, 1-4 ATS.

Matty O'Shea | CBB Sides Single-Dime Bet
586 Mount St. Mary's, Md -7 vs 585 Coppin St
Analysis: The Mount St. Mary's Mountaineers have won five straight games by an average of 13.2 points, and 11 of their last 12 wins have all been decided by more than seven points. MeanWhile, Coppin State got off to a rotten 4-19 start before reeling off 12 wins in 13 games. The Eagles are simply not in the same class as Mount St. Mary's, and it ill show here. Bet the MountaIneers to win this one by double digits as my Single Dime NCAA Tournament Play O' the Day.

Matty O'Shea | CBB Sides Single-Dime Bet
723 George Mason -7 vs 724 NotreDame
Analysis: The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are a very confident and talented bunch, but I simply think they wiLl be overconfident in this game going against a team that is used to being underestimated in George Mason. The Patriots advanced to the Final Four just two years ago and will hang tough with Notre Dame in this game until the very end. Fighting Irish head coach Mike Brey was not terribly disappointed that his team lost to Marquette in the quarterfinals of the Big East Tournament, which is a clear sign that he thinks they will have a cakewalk in the first round. I like this Notre Dame team a lot, but they have a lot to prove to me when pLaying away from home. I also believe George Mason is a very dangerous foe here in this spot and should stay within the number, so bet the Patriots to cover as my Single Dime NCAA Tournament East Region Play O' the Day.

Matty O'Shea | NBA Sides Single-Dime Bet
581 GSW -2 vs 582 SAC
Analysis: The WarriorS have won five of the last six meetings with the Kings, including the last two played in Sacramento. Golden State is also 13-4-1 ATS in the last 18 meetings, and head coach Don Nelson realizes the team must win games like this in order to make the playoffs. "There are no bad teams in the NBA," Nelson said after the Warriors barely beat Memphis at home on SaturdaY. "There isnt anybody we cant beat and there isnt anybody that cant beat us on any given night. We didnt look much like an eighth-place team tonight, but we remain there. Were going to have to play a lot better than we played tonight and I know we will." Look for Golden State to taKe this game very sEriously and win itS fourth straight against the Kings. Bet the Warriors as my Single Dime NBA Play O' the Day.

Tuesday's Plays...

10 Dime –

VIRGINIA

Lay the big number with Virginia tonight when they host Richmond in the inaugural CBI tournament.

This is Virginia’s chance to atone for its collapse in the first round of the ACC tournament. They hung with Georgia Tech for most of the game and were tied 59-59 with 11:43 left in regulation.

Then the Cavs were held to one field goal during the next 6-&#189; minutes and that was the end of their chances.

Virginia has a huge advantage with guard Sean Singletary. Richmond doesn’t have anybody who can defend the senior, and I expect Singletary to treat this game as a personal showcase.

I really don’t need to mention too much about Virginia playing in the tougher conference and having the better overall talent than Richmond does. This game is basically going to come down to how much of a difference Singletary makes for the Cavs.

Take Virginia minus the points as they grab the win and cover.

5 Dime –

RIDER

Take the points with Rider when they take on Old Dominion in the CBI.

Rider coach Tommy Dempsey came out right after his team lost to Siena in the MAAC title game saying he wanted to be in somebody’s tournament. He said his kids put in the hard work and he wanted them to be rewarded for it.

Dempsey will get his wish thanks to the new CBI, going against Old Dominion tonight.

Rider has a good trio of scorers in Jason Thompson, Ryan Thompson and Harris Mansell. The three average a combined 49 ppg, with both Thompson’s taking care of the inside and Mansell, who shoots better than 44 percent from 3-point range, the outside threat.

Old Dominion goes 10-deep in its rotation, but only one player averages double-digits in scoring.

I’ll side with the more accomplished scorers with Rider.

Take the points as the Broncos stay within the number.

AKRON

Take the points with Akron tonight when they travel to take on Florida State in the first round of the NIT.

Akron is as solid of a club as you’re going to see in the NIT. They just can’t seem to get over the hump in the MAC tournament.

Otherwise, this team would be a nice addition to the NCAA field of 65.

Florida State relies on its perimeter game too much for my liking, and if the outside shots aren’t falling they are eminently beatable.

The Seminoles have also been money burners at home lately, going 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11.

Take the points with Akron as they stay within the number.

3/18/08 NBA Denver +6 (571)

ANALYSIS: Nuggets off a huge home win while scoring the most points in a single game this season, 168. That blowout win triggers a historically strong situation supporting them in next game as underdog. Nuggets are a little banged-up as they hit the road for five games, but Iverson, Carmello, Camby and Kevin Martin continue to perform at a high level as the Nuggets push for a playoff spot. Detroit has it in cruise control, up 11 games in the Central division of the Eastern Conference and not able to catch Boston for top seed. Detroit was beaten by Philadelphia on this floor six days ago, and then were solid in securing back-to-back home wins over San Antonio and New Orleans. However, Detroit has a big game on deck Wednesday as they travel to Cleveland to take on a Cavs team that eliminated Detroit in the conference finals last year. Don't expect Detroit's dominance to continue here versus a hot and high-scoring Denver team that can cash us a nice 'Nuggett' of ‘green’ tonight.

Today's Games...

1. 300,000♦ Creighton
2. 50,000♦ Pistons
3. 50,000♦ Oklahoma State

1. Creighton- Love this match up for the Blue Jays, as when motivated, they've been downright nasty at home - Crushing Missouri State by 21, routing Southern Illinois by 19, and blowing out Northern Iowa by 24 - You get the idea! Their last home game was a crazy 111-110 OT win over a very motivated Bradley team, but let's make one thing clear, Rhode Island is no Bradley. But let's dig a little deeper...
Rhode Island was terrible down the stretch, losing 6 of their last 7 games SU & 8 of their last 9 ATS! They not only saw their offense take a dip (from 80 ppg to 75 ppg), but their defense completely collapsed time and again, allowing nearly 82 ppg on 47% shooting (incl. 47% from 3-point which is ridiculous) over their last 5 games!
Herein lies the problem for the Rams, because Creighton can not only light up the scoreboard at home (78 ppg on 47% shooting, 40% from 3-point), but their defense can shut you down, allowing 65 ppg on 41% shooting in Omaha this season. Rams have benefited from playing some pretty average defensive teams of late (Charlotte ranked 143rd, La Salle ranked 317th), but tonight they get a highly motivated Blue Jays squad looking to make some noise in the NIT. The fact Creighton went 15-2 SU & 8-5 ATS at home this season also helps!
Biggest edge for Creighton lies with their outstanding depth, featuring a rotation that runs 10-deep, including guards Woodfox (14 ppg L9 games) and Witter (42 against Bradley March 1st). The Rams can only dream of that kind of depth, as F Daniels and G Bitee are pretty consistent, but G Baron and F Seawright are maddeningly inconsistent. Look for the Rams to stick around early, but eventually the Blue Jays superior depth wins out.
Bottom line, coming off a tough loss to Drake, this is the perfect spot to jump all over what will be a highly-motivated Blue Jays team in this one. We've seen what Creighton can do at home when they're properly motivated, and we've also seen that the sputtering Rams play little to no defense... That's a recipe for a solid home win and cover if I've ever seen one! Creighton rolls!
Take Creighton over Rhode Island as your top-rated play of the day.

2. Pistons- You know damn well the Nuggets got the Pistons attention with their 168-point effort against Seattle Sunday, and if there's any team in the Eastern Conference that can throw a wet blanket over this red-hot Denver offense, its Detroit at the Palace, plain and simple.
To say the Pistons are solid at home is an understatment, going 26-6 SU & 19-13 ATS at the Palace this season. Their defense is one of the most suffocating in the NBA, allowing just 87 ppg on 42% shooting at home on the year! Just ask San Antonio or New Orleans how good this Pistons defense is ? Both Western Conference powers fell to Detroit over their last two games, with neither getting more than 84 points!
Granted, we expect the Nuggets to score more than that, but if history is any judge, Denver is in big trouble, having gone just 4-11 ATS over their last 11 meeting with the Pistons! Nuggets simply do not match up well with Detroit, as Iverson and Anothony will get theirs, but the rest of the roster will struggle against this defense. Martin and Camby have been rendered useless in the past by the defense of Wallace, Prince and McDyess.
Bottom line, had the Nuggets not blown away the Sonics the other night, this might have been a closer contest, but you damn well there's no way Billups and company are going to allow themselves to get embarassed like the Sonics did, especially at the Palace.
Take the Pistons over the Nuggets in this NBA match up.

3. Oklahoma State- Momentum is such a huge factor in college basketball, that there's only one way to go in this contest, and that's with Okie State. Granted, I know 3 losses in their last 4 games looks bad, but in reality, this team has grown leaps and bounds since winning at Texas A&M Febaruary 16th, and getting that road monkey off their collective backs.
Looking at the bigger picture, the Cowboys won 6 of their last 9 games SU, going 7-1-1 ATS over that span. Not only that, but they ended their 19-game road losing streak in the process. Even more so, they started to gel as a team, as young guns like freshman F James Anderson learned to play with veterans like PG Byron Eaton and F Marcus Dove. Overall this is a much better basketball team than we saw early on, and they get very favorable match up in this one.
Of course, winning at Carbondale isn't easy, but in this particular match up, the Salukis may be in trouble. First off, this Southern Illinois offense is average at best, scoring just 62 ppg on the season. But what really causes problems are the match ups, with the Cowboys frontline of Anderson and Dove tailor-made to guard Salukis forwards Falker and Shaw. Not only that, but the Cowboys have superior depth in the frontline, ensuring plenty of fresh bodies to wear on the Salukis two best scoring threats.
Finally, while I'm not saying the Cowboys win outright, I am saying they keep this game close enough to cover. Salukis defense is great, but their offense doesn't have the firepower necessary to pull away in this contest. Falker and Shaw will have trouble in this match up with the Cowboys forwards, and that in and of itself is the key to beating the Salukis. In the end, Cowboys are playing great ball right now, and it pays off tonight!
Take Oklahoma State plus the points over Southern Illinois in this NIT match up.

Wunderdog CBB Plays

Game: Rider at Old Dominion (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 2 units on Rider +225 (moneyline) (risk 2 to win 4.5)

This game kicks off the College Basketball Invitational - a new single elimination tournament to be held on the home courts of the higher seeds. This is Rider's first tournament game since the NIT in 1998. They lost to Siena in the MAAC Tournament but they are no slouches. They had a excellent season, tying for the best record in the MAAC. They bring a 23-10 record into this one (12-8 on the road) and have the MAAC Player of the Year in Jason Thompson. ODU is just 17-15 overall in contrast. They have just one double-digit scorer on the team and no one that can compaer to Thompson. We think this is anyone's game and as such we'll take the dog for the nice moneyline payout.



Game: N C Asheville at Ohio State (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on N C Asheville +14 (-110) (risk 3 to win 2.7)

At 7'7" Kenny George gets all the attention on this Asheville team, but this team has some players. He is however a difference maker. NC Ashville lost only to Eastern Tennessee State, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Winthrop with him playing. He had 14 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks against NC, and 7-13 and four against Tenn., as well as 16-13 and three vs. SC, a game they won. They played at two of the top teams in the country in Tennessee and North Carolina and held their own, dropping both by less than this pointspread. Ohio State got off quickly at 12-3, but really slid and finished just 7-10. Disappointed on being a bubble team that was left out in the cold means getting up for UNC Ashville might be quite a chore, so we will ride the dog here.



Game: Coppin State vs. Mount St. Mary's (7:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: 4 units on Coppin State +7 (-110) (risk 4 to win 3.6)

Mount St. Mary's surprised everyone with three easy wins to earn the right to open the NCAA Tournament against Coppin State. They were 1-4 against these teams in the regular season. All three teams they beat shot as poorly as they have all season, and much worse than the Mountaineer's allowed all season. Good defense? Bad offense? Probably a combination of the two. Coppin State opened the season 2-19 against D-1A teams and was arguably was the worst team in the country. The only blemish since then was to regular-season conference champion Morgan State by four points on the road. They finished the season superb at 12-1, and it was the biggest turnaround in NCAA history! They still have a losing record, but consider the fact that Oakland and Michigan entered the play-in game at 12-18 in 2005 and won. Florida A&M at 14-16 won the play-in game in 2004. NC Ashville at 14-16 won the play-in game in 2003. Siena at 16-18 won the play-in game in 2002. The record may say 20 losses, but this is a confident, completely different team that has lost just once, and by less points than this in their last 13. We would not be shocked if they win here, so we will grab the points.




Game: Houston at Nevada (9:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 2 units on Houston +180 (moneyline) (risk 2 to win 3.6)

Houston has beaten Nevada six of the seven times they have met. We like their chances at the upset win here to make it seven of eight. Houston has the offense to keep with the Wolfpack and should be in this game till the end. The Cougars are 12-3 the past three seasons vs. teams like Nevada that don't pressure much (those that force under 15 turnovers per game). Over the past two seasons they are 17-6 following an ATS loss. Under Tom Penders, this team is 15-5 off a loss to a conference rival. They are also 8-1 after allowing 75+ points in two straight games under Penders. Finally, Penders is 11-1 SU in games coached followinga loss by 3 or fewer points. We'll back Houston for the upset win.



Game: Akron at Florida State (9:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Akron +7.5 (-110) (risk 3 to win 2.7)

The Zips had NCAA Tourney aspirations, but fell to Kent State in the Conference Final. Kent State was simply the better team, besting the Zips three straight times on the season. The Zips can score and hit FTs. When playing on other teams' courts this season they were a strong 7-4 ATS. Florida State lost four of their last eight on their home floor which is more losses than they sustained at home since '04-'05 when they went home early. Truth be told, this is a lousy State team. They lost both Swann and Breeden, which took away some scoring and depth that helped lead to a 7-10 finish on the season. The Zips are plenty capable of winning here and should hang close inside the number.



Game: Rhode Island at Creighton (10:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 2 units on Rhode Island +250 (moneyline) (risk 2 to win 5)

Rhode Island is a 21-win team that cracked the Top 25 this season. They finished poorly but well enough to land a bid to the NIT. They get a Creighton team that have a 1-4 mark in home NIT games. The Rams can score with the best of them, averaging 80.8 ppg on 47&#37; shooting. If they are on, there is no reason they can't win this game. They are 9-1 this season in non-conference games and 6-2 in tournament games the past two seasons. Rhode Island for the upset win.

Stephen Austin +9.5 (POD)

Magic POD winner yesterday.


Stephen Austin is the highest ranked team out of the 3 dogs that I have chosen today and they are getting a relatively nice cushion at +9.5 so that is why I have chosen them as my POD today as compared to the Siders of Richmond who I think hang tough at Virginia and Rider who might have a shot at winning that game outright and simply because I got the +6 line, I went ahead and rolled with them. As per this game, Stephen Austin is a tpo 80 school, they lost essentially 5 ballgames in total this year, and that was to Texas Arlington and Northwestern State - the 2 teams that made it to their conference championship. This team lost to Sam Houston by a bucket on the road who is a top 125 team, lost to Nichols State by a bucket as well and Texas Tech earlier in the year by 14. However, they did win over 20 games, ran through the conferece except for those 2 late losses and beat Oklahoma and San Diego on the road which says a lot. Umass is a good team, but I want to highlight 3 ballgames that they faced against 3 top 80 teams, Rhode Island, Charlotte and Houston where they won by 7, 2 and 6. If I am not mistaken all 3 of those games went over. Look for Stephen Austin to play inspired ball today and fall within inside the spread as this is a very good squad similar to those 3 teams that Umass barely beat under double-digits. No one is giving Stephen Austin a chance today but remember, Umass is 0-7 ATS against teams that have a winning &#37; of greater than 60% or more similar to today.

Richmond +11.5

My time is limited as I have to begin the research for tomorrow, such is the case during March Madness as I spend more time doing the research then doing the detailed write-ups for all the games, although I do it for most of the game. Long story short here, Richomnd is a sound team and they did lose 2 ballgames in the Atlantic 10 badly and that was to St. Josephs - a team they just do not matchup well. This team went on the road to beat the likes of Charlotte and other competent A-10 teams and they can be very competitive at home and although Virginia comes off a tough loss to Georgia Tech in neutral footing, Richmond does have some bite as they beat a top 40 Virginia Tech team at home in a defensive battle. Don't sell the Atlantic 10 short here as the Spiders are 7-1 ATS following a straight up loss and 8-2 ATS when facing a team with a winning % of greater than 60% meaning they show up to play the better teams in the nation.

Rider +6

I can give you a detailed write-up on this game, but long story short, I think RIder wins this game. possibly outright. I like the +6 here as anything below that I probably would not have taken this team, but this team does play an ODU team that is very fickle. You notice that the majority of the public is on ODU today - yet you see an odd line of +6? That is because, similar to the Hawks line yesterday which I believe was around 6, as most lines of +5.5 and +6 for road rodgs, signifies that the road dog has a chance to win outright or at least vegas expects them too - similar to this game. Rider is a top 120 team and they were drilled by Siena on the road, but don't forget, this team too won over 20 ballgames this year, they beat CS Northridge, Marist and Rutgers on the road. I know many people think ODU is wonderful, but I have them ranked in the top 140, about 30 spots lower than Rider from the Metro Atlantic league in my power rankings. ODU lost to William and Mary and NC Wilmington - 2 teams outside the top 150 power rankings. This team also beat top 240 Drexel at home by just 4 points and I think Rider gives them a headache throughout this game if not wins outright as this is a play based purely on the power rankings. ODU is 1-7 ATS in non-conference games

Teddy June’s College Basketball NIT Game of the Day
My 10* College Basketball NIT Game of the Day is the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks plus the points over the UMASS Minutemen. Lumberjacks are 26-5 SU and the Minutemen are 21-10 SU on the season. Interesting opening round matchup we have two teams that bring completely contrasting styles of play with the Lumberjacks strong on the defensive side and the Minutemen strong on the offensive side. Lumberjacks are really going to frustrate UMASS here in my opinion by slowing the tempo down and playing lock down defense particularly around the perimeter. UMASS has not played a lick of defense all season long so I do like the value we are getting in this line. Lumberjacks come out of the Southland conference and rank 2nd in the nation in points allowed at 55.6ppg, 15th in FG% at 39.2 and 26th in 3PT% at 31.4. They also have the Southland Conference player of the year with Josh Alexander who is averaging 16.5ppg and 5.8rpg. After him they have a strong forward in Matt Kingsley who was simply on fire down the stretch of the year and finished the season scoring 15.3ppg and 5.6rpg. Lumberjacks have shown they can win on the road and certainly compete with big conference schools with wins over Oklahoma and San Diego. Meanwhile UMASS made a nice late season run only to lose a heartbreaker against Charlotte in the Conference Tournament and I expect this team to not be entirely motivated for this game. Minutemen have played in the offense happy A10 and I think this contrasting style gives them fits tonight. I currently have this line at +9.5 and have this rated at 10* down to +8. My 10* College Basketball NIT Game of the Day is the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks plus the points. As always, Good Luck, Let’s make some money.

Teddy June’s Private Players Club
My 10* Private Players Club Selection is the Akron Zips plus the points over the Florida State Seminoles. I currently have this line at +8 and have this rated at 10* down to +7. As always, Good Luck, Let’s make some money.

Dr. Bob
Tuesday NBA Opinion
DALLAS (-5 ½) over L.A. Lakers
The Lakers clearly aren’t as good without injured Pao Gasol and they qualify in a 38-91-3 ATS negative momentum situation tonight. Dallas has been rolling lately, but their string of 5 consecutive blowout wins have all come against bad teams. The Mavericks are a better team with Jason Kidd, but that’s mostly because Jason Terry doesn’t have to play the point anymore (with Tyrone Lue having taken over backup duties). The Mavericks are much more effective with Terry playing the off-guard spot and that is why Dallas is a better team now than they before trading Devon Harris for Kidd – not because Kidd is better than Harris. My ratings, with Gasol out and with the Mavericks’ current rotation, favor Dallas by 5 points, which is where the line opened. The number has gone up and I’m not willing to give up line value to make this a Best Bet. I’ll lean with Dallas at -6 or less.

Tuesday NIT Opinion
SOUTHERN ILLINIOS (-5) over Oklahoma State
Southern Illinois lost their final 2 games to end any chances of making the NCAA Tournament, but they should embrace their chance to host an NIT game against an Oklahoma State team that doesn’t travel well. The Cowboys have covered their last 3 road games, but they’re still just 5-13 ATS on the road in 2 seasons under coach Sean Sutton and the opponents on a losing streak tend to get well when facing Oklahoma State (the Cowboys are 0-8-1 ATS the last two seasons when facing a team that has lost 2 or more consecutive games). Southern Illinois plays better at home (9-5-2 ATS at home this season) and the Salukis apply to a very good 44-12 ATS NIT first round situation. Unfortunately, my ratings favor Southern Illinois by just 4 points even with a higher than normal home court advantage. I’ll lean with SIU at -5 or -4 ½ and I’d take Southern Illinois in a 2-Star Best Bet at -4 points or less.

This is all for today Armani.

3000 Dime - OVER THE POSTED TOTAL (Akron - Florida State)

also

1000 Dime - Minnesota -3.5 over Maryland

1000 Dime - Rider +5 over Old Dominion

All three games in the MAC tourney for Akron went over the number as the Zips made a valiant effort to get to the Big Dance but now are resigned to the NIT. The over is 6-1 in the Zips last seven games as a road underdog of 7.0-12.5, and is 5-1 in their last six games as a road underdog. The over is 8-3 in the Zips last 11 road games and is 7-3 in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. As for their opponent, the Seminoles, the over is 4-1-1 in their last 6 games against a team with a winning record and is 4-1-1 in their last six games following a ATS win. They bowed out to UNC in the ACC tourney, covering the big spread. Tonight, these two teams will run and gun it down the court and this one goes way over the number.

The Gophers made a nice run in the Big Ten tourney only to lose to Illinois in the semifinals, and now take on a Maryland team that has fallen apart. The Gophers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5 and are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a S.U. loss. They are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games as a favorite as they host the Terps tonight. The Terrapins are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 non-conference games and are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. I love Minnesota tonight.

Rider has Jason Thompson, one of the more unheralded players in the country, and tonight he and the Broncs will take on ODU. The Monarchs of ODU are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games vs. a team with a winning record and are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as a home favorite. They are also 1-7 ATS in their last eight non-conference games. Thompson, meanwhile, led Rider to the MAAC championship game and averages 20, 10 and two blocks per game. He'll have atleast those numbers as Rider wins outright.

All Star Sports comp. for tonight is the Chicago Bulls.
