Game of the Day: Duke at Syracuse
Covers.com

Duke Blue Devils at Syracuse Orange (-2.5)

As if Saturday's showdown between No. 2 Syracuse and No. 16 Duke was not being anticipated enough, the Orange will attempt to break the school record for consecutive wins to open a season when the Blue Devils come to town. In its inaugural season in the ACC, Syracuse is a perfect 20-0, matching the start by the 2011-12 squad, while Duke has won five straight games - the last four coming by at least 15 points. The game also will pit the two winningest active coaches in Division I - the Blue Devils' Mike Krzyzewski (974 wins) and Jim Boeheim of the Orange (939).

"It will be a historic game," Krzyzewski told reporters. "The fact that Jim and I, total, have won over 1,900 games, it’s never been done." Added Syracuse guard Trevor Cooney: "It's exciting, without a doubt. This will be similar to the Georgetown game last year. We just have to stay focused for the next two days and make sure we're prepared." Saturday's encounter will be just the fifth meeting and the first since 1998, when Duke defeated Syracuse in the Sweet 16.

LINE HISTORY: Books opened Syracuse as high as -3 and were bet down to -2.5.

POWER RANKINGS: Duke (-13.3) - Syracuse (-17.7) - Home Court (-3.0) = Syracuse -7.4

KEY INJURIES: Duke: N/A. Syracuse: DaJuan Coleman (Out -leg)

WHAT BOOKS SAY: "Very tough game to handicap. Duke played much tougher schedule (Arizona & Kansas), but Syracuse has defeated all teams in front of them so far. Both teams covering machines recently (Duke 4-0 ATS streak and Cuse 6-0-1 ATS)." - Mike Perry, Sportsbook.ag.

WHY BET DUKE (17-4 SU, 13-8-0 ATS, 9-11 O/U): Freshman sensation Jabari Parker endured an inconsistent month of January, but closed on a high note with three straight double-doubles, including 21 points and 11 rebounds in Monday's 80-65 victory over Pittsburgh. Parker is the team's leading scorer (18.8) and rebounder (8.1) while Rodney Hood (17.4 points) has emerged as a terrific complement to Parker. The wings on Syracuse's zone must keep an eye on Andre Dawkins, a 47.5 percent 3-point shooter who is 15-of-27 from long range over his last five games.

WHY BET SYRACUSE (20-0 SU, 11-4-1 ATS, 5-8 O/U): The Orange, who hold a one-game lead over Virginia and sit 1 1/2 games up on Duke and Pittsburgh, have won 15 games by double digits. Two big reasons why are the play of freshman Tyler Ennis (12.3 points, 5.4 assists) and senior C.J. Fair (16.7 points, six rebounds), both of whom play big minutes on a nightly basis. With Jerami Grant thrust into the lineup due to injuries, Boeheim has not received much production from his bench of late, although reserve center Baye Moussa Keita delivered six points, eight rebounds and five blocks in Wednesday's 67-57 victory over Wake Forest.

TRENDS:

* Blue Devils are 4-0 ATS in their last four vs. Atlantic Coast.
* Orange are 5-0-1 ATS in their last six vs. Atlantic Coast.
* Under is 7-1 in Orange last eight overall.
* Over is 17-8 in Blue Devils last 25 Saturday games.

CONSENSUS PICKS: 66 percent of bets are on Syracuse -2.5.

Kansas at Texas
By Brian Edwards
VegasInsider.com

Kansas (16-4 straight up, 10-9-1 against the spread) will puts its unbeaten record in Big 12 play on the line Saturday at Texas. Tip-off is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.

As of late Friday afternoon, most books had Kansas installed as a four-point favorite. I made KU the 3.5-point 'chalk.'

Bill Self's squad is No.1 in the RPI Rankings thanks to eight wins over Top-50 opponents and 12 scalps of Top-100 foes. Since losing 61-57 to San Diego St. at home on Jan. 5, Kansas has won seven in a row while posting a 5-1-1 spread record.

Andrew Wiggins was the catalyst in KU's 92-81 home win over Iowa St. as a 7.5-point home favorite on Wednesday. Wiggins scored a game-high 29 points on 10-of-16 shooting from the field. The freshman sensation drained 4-of-6 attempts from 3-point land.

Perry Ellis added 20 points, six rebounds and a pair of blocked shots versus the Cyclones. Joel Embiid posted a double-double with 14 points and 11 boards, while Naadir Tharpe finished with 12 points and 12 boards.

Wiggins is averaging a team-high 16.4 points and 6.0 rebounds per game. Embiid has steadily improved in recent weeks, erupting for eight blocked shots and nearly recording a triple-double in a home win over Oklahoma St. Embiid is averaging 11.4 points and 7.6 rebounds per game, and he's swatted away a team-best 54 shots.

Texas (16-4 SU, 9-8 ATS) came into the 2013-2014 campaign with many pundits looking to show Rick Barnes the door. There was a lot of talk about him possibly retiring at season's end or seeing his long tenure in Austin brought to an end.

But the Longhorns have bounced back nicely from a disastrous 2012-2013 season. They are 5-2 in Big 12 play after winning five straight, including last Saturday's 74-60 victory at Baylor as 5.5-point underdogs. During UT five-game winning streak, it has won three times as an underdog.

Isaiah Taylor scored a game-high 27 points, while Jonathan Holmes added 14 points and eight rebounds. Cameron Ridley produced eight points, 14 boards and two blocked shots.

Ridley was named Big 12 Player of the Week after averaging 13.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 2.5 blocked shots in wins over Kansas St. and Baylor.

Texas has won 11 of its 13 home games this year, but it owns a mediocre 4-6 spread record. This is the Longhorns' third game as home underdogs. They are 1-1 both SU and ATS in the previous situations, beating Iowa St. but losing to Michigan St.

KU reserve guard Tarik Black (3.6 PPG) is 'questionable' due to ankle injury.

KU has seen the 'over' go 9-8 overall, 5-5 in its home games.

The 'over' is on an 8-4 run for the Longhorns to improve to 9-8 overall. Their totals at home (5-5) have been a wash so far.

The 'under' has cashed in four consecutive head-to-head meetings between these schools and six of the last seven.

Kansas has beaten Texas in five straight games and eight of the last nine encounters. When these teams met in Austin last year, KU captured a 64-59 win but Texas took the cash as an eight-point home 'dog.

Saturday's Tip Sheet
By David Schwab
VegasInsider.com

It should be a Super Saturday in men’s college basketball to kick off the month of February with 21 of the top 25 teams in the nation in action. While there are a number of intriguing matchups on the slate, much of the betting public will be focusing on the two games involving the top two teams in the country.

First, No. 2 Syracuse, out of the ACC will put its 20-game winning streak on the line in its first ever conference clash against No. 17 Duke. Later Saturday night, the Pac-12’s California Golden Bears will play host to No. 1 Arizona, which brings a 21-game winning streak into this game.

No. 17 Duke Blue Devils at No. 2 Syracuse Orange

It has been a rocky road at times for one of the most iconic college basketball programs in the nation, but the Blue Devils have worked themselves back to form with five-straight conference victories including an impressive 80-65 romp over No. 18 Pittsburgh this past Monday as 4½-point road underdogs. They are now 6-2 straight-up in the ACC with an overall record of 17-4. Duke has covered in its last four contests to improve to 13-8 against the spread and the total has gone OVER in four of its last six games.

Jabari Parker continues to develop into one of the best freshman players in the country with 18.8 points and 8.1 rebounds, but Duke is starting to come together as a team with six different players scoring at least seven points a game. Overall, the Blue Devils are averaging 81.5 points a game, which is the 20th-highest total in the country. They are shooting 47.2 percent from the field and 41.4 percent from 3-point range. Rodney Hood is the team’s best pure shooter; hitting 51.1 percent from the field and 44.8 percent from beyond the arc.

Syracuse’s first season in the ACC after leaving the Big East has gone off without a hitch so far with a perfect 7-0 SU start in conference play. It has dominated play in its new surroundings by winning five of those games by double digits. The Orange have now covered in their last six contests and they are a profitable 11-4-1 ATS overall. The total has stayed UNDER in six of their first seven conference games.

They may not have the edge in this matchup on the scoreboard with an average of 71.4 points a game, but the Orange have made their biggest statement on the other end of the court by holding opponents to an average of 57.8 points. CJ Fair leads Syracuse in scoring with 16.7 points a game. He is shooting 44 percent from the field, but this number drops off dramatically from outside the perimeter with a 28.1 shooting percentage from 3-point range. Trevor Cooney leads a trio of three other players scoring in double figures with 13.2 points a game.

The Orange opened as 4½-point home favorites over Duke for this ACC showdown.

The last time these two storied programs met was back in the 1998 NCAA Tournament with the Blue Devils coming away with an 80-67 victory in a game that actually ended as a PUSH. Duke and Syracuse have complied a combined 9-0-1 record ATS in their last 10 ACC games.

No. 1 Arizona Wildcats at California Golden Bears

Arizona has had a couple of close calls in conference play including a 60-57 victory over Stanford this past Wednesday as a six-point road favorite, but it has passed every test with an 8-0 SU record in the Pac-12. The Wildcats have failed to cover in their last three games to fall to 4-4 ATS in conference play and 13-7 ATS overall. They are 8-5 ATS at home and the total has stayed UNDER in nine of 12 home games with a posted line.

The top scorer for Arizona has been Nick Johnson with an average of 16.7 points and he is shooting a solid 49.6 percent from the field and 38.7 percent from 3-point range. Brandon Ashley and Aaron Gordon are each scoring 12 points a game with Gordon pulling down a team-high 7.9 rebounds. The Wildcats are scoring an average of 74.3 points and they are ranked 33rd in the nation in rebounds with 38.9. They are shooting 48.1 percent from the field and 36.5 percent from outside the perimeter.

The Golden Bears find themselves in the midst of a three-game slide after opening conference play with five straight wins. The latest setback was an 89-78 loss to Arizona State in overtime this past Wednesday as six-point home favorites. They have failed to cover in all three setbacks after going 5-0 ATS in their first five Pac-12 games. California is 14-7 SU on the year with an even 10-10 record ATS. It is 6-4 ATS at home with the total staying UNDER in six of those outings.

To stop this slide against the top team in the nation, Cal will need a big effort from Justin Cobbs and Richard Solomon. Cobbs leads the team in points (15.5) and assists (6.0) and Solomon is chipping-in 11.6 points while leading the team in rebounds with 10.7 a game. David Kravish is also averaging 11.6 points and shooting a productive 54.9 percent from the field and 50 percent from 3-point range. The Golden Bears are averaging 75.8 points and shooting 46.4 percent from the floor. They are pulling down 37.1 rebounds a game.

The Wildcats come into this game listed as 4½-point road favorites over the Golden Bears.

Arizona has won four of the last six meetings SU, but Cal has a 5-2-1 edge ATS in the last eight contests. The underdog in this series is 3-0-1 ATS in the last four games and the total has gone OVER in nine of the last 11 meetings in California.

Saturday's Top 25 NCAAB Cheat Sheet: Late Games
By Covers.com

Massachusetts Minutemen at St. Joseph's Hawks (-2.5)

Minutemen point guard Chaz Williams, who struggled with foul trouble against St. Bonaventure, was the difference in the first meeting, scoring eight points in the final six minutes as the Minutemen erased a nine-point deficit. In the most recent game, Williams went 3-of-10 from the field and had 11 points and six assists. The Minutemen have won four of the last five meetings and lead the series 34-29.

St. Joseph's forward Halil Kanacevic had eight points and 11 rebounds against Dayton to surpass 1,000 points and 900 rebounds in his career, which included his freshman season at Hofstra. The victory was the second on the road in conference play for the Hawks, who also lost at Richmond. The Hawks have won five of six since losing at Massachusetts Jan. 8.

TRENDS

* Minutemen are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 road games.
* Hawks are 2-5 ATS in their last seven Saturday games.
* Under is 6-1 in Massachusetts' last seven games vs. Atlantic 10 foes.
* Home team is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings.

Duke Blue Devils at Syracuse Orange (-2.5)

Blue Devils freshman sensation Jabari Parker endured an inconsistent month of January, but closed on a high note with three straight double-doubles, including 21 points and 11 rebounds in Monday's 80-65 victory over Pittsburgh. Parker is the team's leading scorer (18.8) and rebounder (8.1) while Rodney Hood (17.4 points) has emerged as a terrific complement to Parker.

The Orange, who hold a one-game lead over Virginia and sit 1 1/2 games up on Duke and Pittsburgh, have won 15 games by double digits. Two big reasons why are the play of freshman Tyler Ennis (12.3 points, 5.4 assists) and senior C.J. Fair (16.7 points, six rebounds), both of whom play big minutes on a nightly basis. Reserve center Baye Moussa Keita had six points, eight rebounds and five blocks in Wednesday's victory over Wake Forest.

TRENDS

* Blue Devils are 4-0 ATS in their last four games vs. the ACC.
* Orange are 5-0-1 ATS in their last six games.
* Over is 17-8 in Duke's last 25 Saturday games.
* Under is 25-9 in Syracuse's last 34 games following an ATS win.

Colorado State Rams at San Diego State Aztecs (-12)

The Rams learned earlier this week that they will gain the services of Louisville transfer Chane Behanan next season and that will only make a solid rebounding club even better. Colorado State outrebounds opponents by 5.3 per game with forward J.J. Avila (18.4 points, 7.6 rebounds) and guard Daniel Bejarano (16.5 points, nine rebounds) leading the way.

SDSU point guard Xavier Thames averages a team-high 17.6 points and has scored more than 20 points five times, including recording 23 points and matching a season best with five steals in the earlier victory over Colorado State. A suspect shooter in the past, Thames has made a career-best 39 3-pointers while shooting an impressive 45.9 percent from behind the arc.

TRENDS

* Rams are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 Saturday games.
* Aztecs are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS win.
* Under is 17-5 in Colorado State's last 22 games.
* Home team is 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight meetings.

Iowa Hawkeyes at Illinois Fighting Illini (+6)

Coach Fran McCaffery questioned his team’s toughness after the Michigan State game as the Hawkeyes were held to 28 points in the paint. Illinois can’t match the Spartans’ physical style, so forwards Aaron White (averaging 13.5 points, 6.5 rebounds) and Melsahn Basabe (6.6 rebounds) should find the terrain a little smoother Saturday. Forward Jarrod Uthoff has been the team’s top reserve, averaging 8.9 points.

Drake transfer Rayvonte Rice ended an extended slump in Sunday’s 56-46 loss at Indiana by scoring 20 points on 7-of-11 shooting, including four 3-pointers. The Illini will look to slow the game down against the high-scoring Hawkeyes and hope the frontline of Jon Ekey and 6-11 center Nnanna Egwu can avoid foul trouble. Guard Joseph Bertrand is seeking a bounce-back game after missing 10 of his 11 shots against the Hoosiers.

TRENDS

* Hawkeyes are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games following an ATS win.
* Illini are 1-5 ATS in their last six games vs. Big Ten foes.
* Under is 5-1 in Illinois' last six games following a loss.
* Under is 5-2 in the last seven meetings.

Central Florida Knights at Louisville Cardinals (-20.5)

The Knights are coming off an encouraging 69-59 loss to No. 22 Memphis on Wednesday, when senior guard Isaiah Sykes collected 24 points, 12 rebounds and five assists. Sykes, who scored 19 points against Louisville in the first meeting, is the only AAC player in the top 15 in the league in scoring, rebounding, assists, steals and field-goal percentage.

Point guard Chris Jones returned against Cincinnati after missing three games with an oblique injury and scored six points on 3-of-11 shooting. Freshman Terry Rozier started for the fourth straight game in place of Jones and had 10 points and zero assists in 22 minutes, but Jones is expected to return to the starting lineup as early as Saturday.

TRENDS

* Knights are 0-7 ATS in their last seven games.
* Cardinals are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following an ATS loss.
* Over is 9-3 in Central Florida's last 12 Saturday games.
* Under is 19-6-1 in Louisville's last 26 games following a win.

Gonzaga Bulldogs at San Francisco Dons (+6)

The Bulldogs blew a 10-point lead in the game's final minutes before Sam Dower rescued them with a 3-pointer with two seconds to play to give them a 54-52 win at Santa Clara. Dower had taken just nine 3-pointers before hitting the game-winner for the Bulldogs, who scored a season-low 54 points. Gonzaga rolled over San Francisco earlier in the season despite missing starters Dower and Gary Bell Jr.

San Francisco has won three straight to move into second place in the WCC. San Francisco never trailed knocking off Portland last time out to complete a season sweep of the Pilots. Portland is the only conference team to beat Gonzaga this season. Saturday's game wraps up a five-game homestand for the Dons who are 11-4 on their home court.

TRENDS

* Bulldogs are 17-5-1 in their last 23 games following an ATS loss.
* Dons are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 Saturday games.
* Under is 5-0 in San Francisco's last five games against teams with winning records.
* Underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last six games.

Arizona Wildcats at California Golden Bears (+4)

A key for the Wildcats will be how well their frontcourt can hold up against California’s, which features one of the top rebounders in the Pac-12 in Richard Solomon, as well as a solid sidekick in David Kravish. Aaron Gordon will have to play as big as he did Sunday against Utah, when the 6-9 freshman for the Wildcats produced 10 points and 12 rebounds in the nine-point victory.

Solomon and Kravish should do their part on the glass, leaving it up to Justin Cobbs and Tyrone Wallace to continue stepping up offensively. Cobbs scored 21 points against Arizona State and, in the process, moved past three former Golden Bears on the program’s all-time scoring list to No. 19. Wallace matched his career high with 20 points against the Sun Devils.

TRENDS

* Wildcats are 16-7 ATS in their last 23 games.
* Golden Bears are 4-0 ATS in their last four home games vs. teams with winning road records.
* Under is 25-5 in Arizona's last 30 Saturday games.
* Over is 9-2 in the last 11 meetings in California.

By Covers.com

Ohio State Buckeyes at Wisconsin Badgers

The Buckeyes held an 11-point lead in the second half against Penn State but were doomed by missed free throws and poor defense down the stretch to drop a stunner at home and fall to 1-5 since beginning the season with 15 straight victories. Ohio State shot 28 percent from the floor in the second half Wednesday and is averaging 61.8 points over its last four contests - nearly 11 points below its season average.

The Badgers built their reputation under coach Bo Ryan on defense but have allowed an average of 71.2 points in the last five games and surrendered 43 in the second half of Wednesday’s loss to Northwestern. The offense is not holding up its end, either, and leading scorer Sam Dekker is 2-of-16 from 3-point range over the last four games. Wisconsin ranks third in the Big Ten conference in 3-point shooting at 37.3 percent.

TRENDS:

* Buckeyes are 0-5 ATS in their last five games.
* Badgers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS win.
* Over is 6-2 in Wisconsin's last eight games.
* Favorite is 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings.

Kentucky Wildcats at Missouri Tigers

The Wildcats are coming off an 87-82 loss at LSU in which star freshman forward Julius Randle was limited to a season-low six points on 3-of-11 shooting. Kentucky allows an average of 66.6 points but has surrendered 85.3 points in its last three losses - all on the road. Wildcats G James Young has shot 50 percent or better from the field in three straight games after failing to make half his shots in any of the previous nine contests.

The Tigers sit a game behind the Wildcats in the SEC standings and are looking at their toughest stretch of the conference slate with a trip to No. 4 Florida coming up after the Kentucky contest. Jabari Brown, Earnest Ross and Jordan Clarkson combined for 59 points in the win over Arkansas on Tuesday and did a strong job of spreading out the shots between the three. Brown leads the SEC in scoring at an average of 19.8 points

TRENDS

* Wildcats are 9-19-1 ATS in their last 29 games vs. the SEC.
* Tigers are 1-5 ATS in their last six home games.
* Under is 7-1 in Missouri's last eight home games.
* Under is 3-0-1 in Kentucky's last four Saturday games.

Memphis Tigers at SMU Mustangs

The Tigers' four senior guards all have made major contributions during the team's four-game winning streak. Joe Jackson led Memphis with 17 points against Central Florida while Michael Dixon Jr. is 13-of-21 from the floor - 7-of-11 from beyond the arc - over the last four games. Geron Johnson (9.5 points, 5.5 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals during the winning streak) continues to be the "glue guy" for Memphis.

Coach Larry Brown knows basically what he is going to get from his team offensively, as the Mustangs average 71.9 points and have scored between 70-75 points in five of their last six games. Kennedy has scored in double figures in 12 straight games and has grabbed at least seven rebounds in each of those contests. Reserve forward Ben Moore has been a major factor as a freshman, shooting 72.4 percent on the season.

TRENDS

* Tigers are 6-0 ATS in their last six road games.
* Mustangs are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games.
* Under is 7-1 in Memphis' last eight games following an ATS win.
* Home team is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings.

Baylor Bears at Oklahoma State Cowboys

The Bears entered conference action as one of the top shooting teams in the nation at 50.4 percent (while holding opponents to 38.8 percent), but those figures have shifted to 40.5 and 47.4, respectively, during their forgettable seven-game conference run. Baylor lost the turnover battle 17-6 against West Virginia and has created more than 10 takeaways only twice in league play.

Since the loss of forward Michael Cobbins to an Achilles’ injury seven games ago, the Cowboys have averaged a conference-high 22.8 fouls, mostly as a result of players sliding into unfamiliar roles. Three players (Le'Bryan Nash, Kamari Murphy and Stevie Clark) fouled out against Oklahoma, with Nash and Clark doing so in a combined 28 minutes.

TRENDS

* Bears are 6-17 ATS in their last 23 Saturday games.
* Cowboys are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games following a loss.
* Over is 7-2 in Oklahoma State's last nine games.
* Under is 5-2 in the last seven meetings.

George Mason Patriots at Saint Louis Billikens

The Patriots have struggled badly in their first year in the A-10 after having unparalleled success in the Colonial Athletic Association. Guards Byron Allen (14.2 points per game) and Sherrod Wright (14) lead a veteran backcourt that also features Patrick Holloway, who ranks fifth in the A-10 in 3-point shooting (41.9). Redshirt freshman forward Jalen Jenkins is averaging 7.1 points and 6.5 rebounds.

The Billikens do it with defense, leading the A-10 in scoring defense (58 points per game), field goal percentage defense (38.2) and 3-point percentage defense (27.6). Senior forward Dwayne Evans (15) leads the team in scoring and rebounding (6.3) while Jett also is averaging in double figures (12.6) and leads the team in assists (4.8) and steals (1.5).

TRENDS

* Patriots are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games.
* Billikens are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games vs. teams with losing records.
* Over is 15-5 in George Mason's last 20 road games.
* Under is 10-4 in Saint Louis' last 14 home games.

Evansville Purple Aces at Wichita State Shockers

Evansville sophomore guard D.J. Balentine, who has made 31-of-33 free throws over the last two games, leads the conference with a 23-point scoring average and has taken more than twice as many shots as any other player on the team. He has scored at least 20 points 15 times and also leads the team in assists (4.2) and 3-pointers made (51).

Wichita State's subpar showing against Chicago-based Loyola included 6-of-26 shooting in the second half that erased the joy over a well-played opening 20 minutes. Forward Cleanthony Early scored 23 points to raise his season average to 16.1 and is joined in double digits by guard Ron Baker (13.4) and VanVleet (12.8). The Shockers allow 59 points per game and have held 10 opponents under 60.

TRENDS

* Purple Aces are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six games.
* Shockers are 5-0 ATS in their last five games following an ATS loss.
* Under is 5-2 in Evansville's last seven games following a defeat.
* Underdog is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings.

Michigan State Spartans at Georgetown Hoyas

Without Adreian Payne and fellow big man Branden Dawson, who is out for several more games with a broken hand, the Spartans have given increased minutes to forward Matt Costello and the results have been positive. Costello posted career highs in both points (11) and rebounds (12) in the win at Iowa while recording two more blocked shots to bump his average to 1.6 per game -- eighth in the Big Ten entering Thursday.

A dismal slide for the Hoyas continued with a 65-60 loss at home to No. 9 Villanova on Monday, which saw Georgetown lose another player to suspension in the form of center Moses Ayegba, who was banned one game for an NCAA violation. Senior guard Markel Starks has done his best to shoulder the load, averaging 23 points over the last three games while ranking third in minutes played during Big East games (38.9).

TRENDS

* Spartans are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games.
* Hoyas are 0-4 ATS in their last four games following an ATS win.
* Under is 4-0 in Michigan State's last four games vs. Big East foes.
* Over is 4-1 in Georgetown's last five neutral-site games.

Texas A&M Aggies at Florida Gators

The Aggies come in on a four-game losing skid punctuated by an 80-52 laugher at the hands of South Carolina on Wednesday night. Texas A&M was a disaster offensively in that one, shooting just 35.6 percent from the field while hitting on 4-of-16 3-point attempts and 16-of-29 free-throw opportunities. Junior guard Jamal Jones (11.7) is the only player averaging in double figures, but shoots just 37.4 percent from the field.

The Gators bounced back nicely from back-to-back narrow victories over Auburn and Alabama, trouncing Tennessee 67-41 and following that up with a double-digit victory at Mississippi State. Casey Prather's 16 points paced the win over the Bulldogs, as Florida prevailed despite shooting 6-of-20 from beyond the arc and 8-of-19 from the line. Prather (16.7 ppg) leads a balanced attack for the Gators, who have won 12 straight.

TRENDS

* Aggies are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 Saturday games.
* Gators are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six games following an ATS loss.
* Under is 7-0 in Texas A&M's last seven games following a loss of more than 20 points.
* Under is 21-7-1 in Florida's last 29 games.

Villanova Wildcats at Temple Owls

Since losing to Creighton by 28 points, Villanova has snuck past the Golden Eagles in overtime before holding off the Hoyas on Monday. The Wildcats are one of the nation's most balanced teams, with four players averaging between 10.2 and 15.1 points, five players chipping in between 4.0 and 5.9 rebounds and eight players averaging at least one assist.

Owls coach Fran Dunphy recently chatted about the importance of unselfish play with point guard Will Cummings, who responded with 21 points and eight assists against Rutgers. One of Cummings' top options on the kick-outs is swingman Dalton Pepper (18 points per game), who has made nearly half of the Owls' 3-pointers this season.

TRENDS

* Wildcats are 7-1 ATS in their last eight non-conference games.
* Owls are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games vs. Big East opponents.
* Over is 18-7-1 in Temple's last 26 Saturday games.
* Villanova is 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings.

Kansas Jayhawks at Texas Longhorns

Jayhawks star Andrew Wiggins is 18-of-29 shooting over the past two outings and finally displaying the ability to take over games. He struggled with the adjustment early in the season but is now settling in to average a team-best 16.5 points as one of four double-digit scorers. Center Joel Embiid has been the team’s top player most of the season and averages 11.4 points, a team-best 7.6 rebounds and has 54 blocks.

The Longhorns have thrived behind a balanced attack in which four players average in double digits after they were expected to experience a second straight down campaign. Forward Jonathan Holmes averages a team-best 12.9 points, following by guard Javan Felix (12.2), guard Isaiah Taylor (11.7) and center Cameron Ridley (11.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 48 blocks).

TRENDS

* Jayhawks are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven games.
* Longhorns are 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 Saturday games.
* Over is 4-0 in Kansas' last four games vs. the Big 12.
* Under is 4-0 in the last four meetings.

Oklahoma Sooners at Iowa State Cyclones

The Sooners are the only team in the country to use the same starting lineup in every game and have all five of those players scoring at least 10 points per game. Ryan Spangler is averaging 13.2 points and 13.5 rebounds over his last six games, beginning with his 16-point, 15-rebound effort in the first meeting against Iowa State. Oklahoma has scored at least 80 points in 14 games.

Two common themes have emerged in the Cyclones’ four losses: below-average 3-point shooting and rebounding margin. Iowa State has converted 37.2 percent beyond the arc in its victories and enjoyed a plus-3.1 advantage on the glass in its wins, but has shot 28.4 percent from long range and been outrebounded by 7.8 boards in its setbacks. Melvin Ejim leads the conference with 27 career double-doubles.

TRENDS

* Sooners are 5-0 ATS in their last five Saturday games.
* Cyclones are 21-9 ATS in their last 30 home games.
* Over is 8-0 in Iowa State's last eight home games vs. teams with winning road records.
* Over is 9-2 in the last 11 meetings.

Re: Basketball Handicapping Info. 2/1/2014

College Basketball Injury Report
By Brian Edwards
Sportsmemo.com

Minnesota will be without its leading scorer again for Saturday's home game vs. Northwestern. Andre Hollins is recovering from an ankle injury sustained in the opening minute of a home win over Wisconsin on Jan. 22. Hollins averages 15.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals per game. He was unable to play earlier this week in an 82-78 loss at Nebraska.

Cincinnati senior center Justin Jackson returned to the lineup in Thursday's 69-66 win at Louisville. Jackson injured his ankle early in the first half of Sunday's win at Temple and didn't return. But he looked just fine against the Cardinals, producing 11 points, nine rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocked shots in 37 minutes of playing time. The Bearcats won outright as nine-point underdogs and hooked up money-line supporters with a +350 return (paid $350 on $100 wagers). If you didn't know already, now you do. Cincy is a legit national-title contender because it rebounds and defends as well as team in the country. And Mick Cronin has a senior leader in Sean Kilpatrick that dropped 29 points on U of L and always wants the rock at crunch time.

Rick Pitino's squad had been without starting point guard Chris Jones for the three previous games due to an oblique injury. Jones came off the bench to play 23 minutes for U of L vs. Cincy. He only made 3-of-11 shots and missed all three of his attempts from behind the line. Jones finished with only six points and two rebounds.

Washington St. is hoping to get its best player back for Saturday's game against in-state rival Washington. DaVonte Lacy (17.7 PPG, 4.7 RPG) has been upgraded to 'questionable' after missing six games in a row.

New Mexico seven-foot center Alex Kirk is expected to miss a third consecutive game Saturday vs. San Jose St. Kirk, who averages 14.0 points and 8.9 rebounds per game, is 'doubtful' against the Spartans due to a foot injury. The Lobos have won both games without Kirk both straight up and against the spread.

TCU center Karviar Sheperd is 'doubtful' Saturday at Texas Tech because of a finger injury. Sheperd averages 8.4 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.1 blocked shots per game.

Air Force won't have its starting point guard and leading scorer for a second straight game Saturday at Nevada. Tre Coggins didn't make the trip for the Falcons, who lost but covered Wednesday at Boise St. Coggins averages 17.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game.

After starting 4-1 in SEC play, Georgia has dropped back-to-back games. One reason why has been the absence of Kenny Gaines, who missed both defeats with a leg injury. Gaines is a question mark Saturday at Auburn, which has a quick turnaround after smashing arch-rival Alabama 74-55 on Thursday night. Gaines is averaging 12.5 points per game. UGA guard Juwan Parker (4.7 PPG, 3.9 RPG) is also 'questionable' due to a hamstring issue.

Wisconsin Green Bay is hoping to get center Alec Brown back for Saturday's home game vs. Wright St. Without Brown, the Phoenix got thumped 75-60 Thursday at Valpo. Brown, who is 'questionable' with a shoulder injury, averages 16.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.3 blocked shots per game.

Idaho guard Glen Dean (11.9 PPG) is 'doubtful' Saturday vs. Seattle with a sprained ankle. The Vandals have lost two of three non-lined games that Dean has missed over the last two weeks.

Dartmouth's Gabas Maldunas has a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the season. The Big Green got drilled at home by Harvard (80-50) in its first game without Maldunas (11.2 PPG, 8.5 RPG) last Sunday.

Arkansas Little Rock will probably be without James White for a fourth consecutive game next Friday at Tulsa. White averages 11.4 points and 5.9 rebounds per contest. He is listed as 'doubtful' against the Golden Hurricane. The Trojans are 2-1 both SU and ATS without White.
