Wiseguys share the hottest spot bet opportunities of the week
By BEN BURNS


Spot bets are classic handicapping practices that have proven profitable no matter what sport you're betting. Whether it's a team looking past this week's opponent, one coming off a hard-fought victory, or a rough patch of schedule, bettors can find value picking their spots. Ben Burns points out a few of his favorites:


Letdown spot


On Saturday, Oklahoma will host Kansas. That's a huge game for the Sooners, as those teams are battling for top spot in the Big 12. Additionally, the Sooners will be looking to avenge an earlier loss at Kansas. That wasn't just any loss either - it was a triple-OT heartbreaker.


Off that big "revenge" game, the Sooners may have a letdown in their next game, which will be at Texas Tech. After all, they beat the Red Raiders by 24 when the teams played on January 26.


Lookahead spot


Regularly two of the top teams in the Metro Atlantic Conference, Siena and Iona have long been rivals. Last season, Iona won all three meetings. The Gaels took both regular season meetings and then knocked the Saints out of the MAAC tournament.


Saturday will be this season's first meeting between Iona and Siena and it’s a game which the Saints have had circled. On Thursday, Siena will host Canisius. Considering that the Saints already beat the Golden Griffins by 21 points, at Canisius, it should be easy to look ahead to Saturday's showdown. Canisisus snapped a losing streak last time out and will be looking for some redemption after getting embarrassed earlier. Take a look at the Golden Griffins as a road underdog Thursday.

Saturday's Early Tip Sheet
By Brian Edwards


**Kentucky at South Carolina**


-- South Carolina, Kentucky and LSU are in a three-way tie for first place in the SEC standings with identical 8-3 records. They lead a pair of teams in Texas A&M and Florida, both of whom are one game behind with 7-4 league ledgers. As of early Friday afternoon, one offshore book had tabbed the Wildcats as 1.5-point road favorites.


-- The national media has seemingly been slow to recognize what South Carolina (21-3 straight up, 16-5 against the spread) is accomplishing in Frank Martin’s fourth year at the helm. I must admit that I thought Martin would get USC’s basketball fortunes turned around much sooner, but the Gamecocks have yet to taste a postseason bid of any sort since his arrival. That’s about to change, however. Yes, USC played a weak non-conference schedule, one that ranks No. 322 in the country. Furthermore, USC has played just one game against an RPI Top-25 foe and four against Top-50 opponents. Therefore, the Gamecocks weren’t even ranked coming into this week.


-- Loyal readers know how I feel about college basketball rankings. They’re dead to me. The only ranking system of any merit is the one released by the committee on Selection Sunday. If there’s any poll to pay attention to this time of year, I would say it’s KenPom or the RPI. Nevertheless, we’ll note that USC will enter the national rankings if it can knock off Kentucky at home Saturday.


-- South Carolina captured a 94-83 win Wednesday over LSU as a 4.5-point home favorite. The 177 combined points soared ‘over’ the 153.5-point total. Sindarius Thornwell was the catalyst with 24 points, six rebounds, five assists, one steal and one blocked shot. Michael Carrera added 16 points, six boards and three steals, while Duane Notice scored 15 points thanks to 4-of-8 shooting from behind the 3-point arc. P.J. Dozier contributed 12 points, including several key buckets at winning time.


-- South Carolina is unbeaten in 13 home games with a stellar 8-2 spread record.


-- Carrera leads USC in scoring (14.2 points per game) and rebounding (7.2 RPG).


-- Kentucky (18-6 SU, 11-13 ATS) responded to back-to-back losses at Kansas (in overtime) and at Tennessee (after leading by 21 at one point) by smashing Florida and Georgia in consecutive contests at Rupp Arena. UF went into Lexington last Saturday and was throttled by an 80-61 count as a seven-point road underdog. Jamal Murray dropped 35 points on the Gators thanks to 8-of-10 shooting from downtown. Tyler Ulis added 18 points, 11 assists, four rebounds and a pair of steals.


-- John Calipari’s squad is a youthful one, which is to say that it struggles mightily on the road. As a matter of fact, the Wildcats have lost five of seven road games both SU and ATS.


-- Murray is averaging a team-best 18.5 PPG. The freshman shooting guard is hitting 40.2 percent of his attempts from 3-point range. Ulis, the dynamic sophomore point guard, is scoring at a 16.2 PPG clip and has a 148/44 assists-to-turnovers ratio.


-- Alex Poythress had minor knee surgery earlier this week and will miss the next two weeks. Poythress is averaging 10.0 points and 6.6 rebounds per game for the ‘Cats.


-- The ‘over’ is 11-10 overall for USC, 7-3 in its home games.


-- Totals have been an overall wash for UK (12-12). The ‘over’ is 4-3 in its seven road tilts.


-- Tip-off is slated for noon Eastern on ESPN.


**Purdue at Michigan**


-- These schools are tied for fourth in the Big Ten standings with identical 8-4 league records. They are two games back of the conference’s co-leaders, Indiana, Iowa and Maryland, who are all 10-2 in Big Ten play. As of early Friday afternoon, one offshore shop had Purdue listed as a one-point road favorite.


-- Purdue (20-5 SU, 12-9 ATS) is No. 18 in the RPI, going 3-3 versus the Top 50 and 7-4 against the Top 100. The Boilermakers own quality wins at Pitt, vs. Michigan State and vs. Florida on a neutral court. They also have home scalps over Vanderbilt, Michigan and Ohio State in addition to a road win at Wisconsin. They have one loss outside of the Top 100, falling 84-70 at Illinois.


-- Purdue owns a 4-3 SU record and a 3-4 ATS mark in seven road assignments this season.


-- Purdue could be in a bit of a letdown spot here after winning an 82-81 decision over Michigan State in overtime Tuesday night. The Boilermakers failed to cover the number as three-point favorites, and those gamblers had to be livid with the Spartans for inexplicably opting not to foul when A.J. Hammons gathered a loose ball in traffic with several seconds remaining. The total was a nail-biter as well. A Purdue layup with 1:04 remaining in regulation created a 72-72 tie and sent the score ‘over’ the 143.5-point total.


-- Purdue blew a 16-point halftime lead against Michigan State Senior guard Rapheal Davis had 19 first-half points, but he went 1-of-12 from the field in the second half and the extra session. However, with the game tied in the closing seconds, Davis drove to his left and MSU star Denzel Valentine opted not to go under a ball screen and bumped Davis with 4.6 seconds remaining. In the double bonus, Davis made the first free throw before missing the second, which led to the loose-ball scramble won by Hammons. Speaking of the senior seven-footer, Hammons produced 19 points, 13 rebounds and eight blocked shots. Valentine countered with 27 points, 10 assists and eight boards in the losing effort.


-- Hammons is averaging 14.7 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.7 blocked shots per game.


-- Michigan (18-7 SU, 12-11 ATS) is 11-3 SU and 6-7 ATS at Crisler Arena in Ann Arbor.


-- Michigan’s season has been hampered by injuries. Senior PG Spike Albrecht, who had the unforgettable performance in the first half of the national-title game against Louisville three seasons ago, was forced to retire in early December due to a hip injury. Caris LeVert, the team’s star who is listed as ‘doubtful’ Saturday vs. Purdue, hasn’t played since Dec. 30 due to a leg injury. In the first 14 games, LeVert was averaging 17.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game.


-- Michigan is No. 60 in the RPI, limping to a 2-7 record against the Top 50. To their credit, the Wolverines haven’t lost any games to foes outside of the Top 50, but they’re still in dire need of multiple signature victories in order to be considered for an at-large bid.


-- Michigan is mired in a 2-6 ATS slump. John Beilein’s squad avoided a three-game losing streak (SU) by knocking off Minnesota by an 82-74 count Wednesday night at The Barn. The Wolverines took the cash as seven-point road favorites. Derrick Walton Jr. paced the winners with 26 points, eight rebounds, seven assists and a pair of steals. Walton drained 5-of-8 attempts from 3-point range.


-- Walton is averaging team-highs in scoring (12.3 PPG), rebounding (5.7 RPG), assists (4.0 APG) and steals (1.6 SPG).


-- Purdue owns a 6-0-1 spread record in its last seven games against Michigan. When they met in West Lafayette on Jan. 7, Purdue cruised to an 87-70 victory as a nine-point home ‘chalk.’ Hammons led the way with 17 points and four blocks, while Davis finished with 16 points, five rebounds and six assists without a turnover. Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman had a game-high 25 points for Michigan.


-- The ‘over’ is 7-2 in the last nine head-to-head meetings between these Big Ten rivals.


-- The ‘over’ is 16-7 overall for the Wolverines this year, 20-7 dating back to last season. They have seen the ‘over’ hit at an 8-4 clip at home.


-- The ‘under’ is 11-10 overall for Purdue, 4-3 in its road contests.


-- Tip-off is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. Eastern on ESPN2.


**Kansas at Oklahoma**


-- Not only is this a rematch of the best regular-season game of the year to date, it’s also a showdown for Big 12 supremacy. Kansas owns an amazing streak of 11 consecutive Big 12 regular-season championships. The 2015-2016 title won’t be decided Saturday, but it is certainly a crucial contest for those purposes. KU, OU and West Va. are currently in a first-place tie with 8-3 records. Five teams are separated by merely one game, as Baylor and Texas are also in the mix with 7-4 ledgers. One offshore had OU as a 4.5-point home ‘chalk’ as of early Friday afternoon.


-- When these teams met in Lawrence on Jan. 4, KU captured a 109-106 win in triple overtime. The Sooners covered the number, however, as seven-point underdogs. Perry Ellis scored 27 points and grabbed 13 rebounds for the winners. Devonte’ Graham finished with 22 points and seven boards, while Wayne Selden Jr. contributed 21 points. Frank Mason had 15 points, seven rebounds, six assists and three steals. For the Sooners, Buddy Hield scored a game-high 46 points to go with eight rebounds and seven assists. The Wooden Award favorite knocked down 8-of-15 from beyond the arc. Jordan Woodard played all 50 minutes and tallied 27 points and seven assists, while Ryan Spangler had 14 points and 18 boards.


-- Oklahoma (20-3 SU, 10-11 ATS) is undefeated in 12 home games with a 5-5 spread record.


-- Hield is second in the nation and tops in the Big 12 with his 25.7 PPG average. Cousins (13.6 PPG) averages 4.6 RPG, buries 46.8 percent of his treys and has an outstanding 105/43 assists-to-turnovers ratio. Cousins and Hield have 32 steals apiece.


-- Kansas (20-4 SU, 14-8 ATS) is 3-3 both SU and ATS on the road.


-- Since losing at Iowa State on Jan. 25, Bill Self’s squad has won four consecutive games both SU and ATS, including Tuesday’s 75-65 win over West Va. as a seven-point home favorite. Ellis led the way with 21 points, while Landen Lucas contributed nine points, 16 rebounds and four blocked shots.


-- Kansas has only been an underdog once this year, losing 85-72 in Ames to the Cyclones.


-- Ellis paces KU in scoring (16.9 PPG), rebounding (6.5 RPG) and field-goal percentage (53.0%).


-- The ‘under’ is 14-7 overall for the Jayhawks, 5-1 in their road games.


-- The ‘over’ is 13-8 overall for OU, 7-3 in its home outings.


-- ESPN will have the broadcast at 2:30 p.m. Eastern.


**B.E.’s Bonus Nuggets**


-- Florida will take on Alabama at 5:30 p.m. Eastern in a key SEC showdown. The Crimson Tide moved up to No. 39 in the RPI on the heels of Wednesday’s 63-62 home win over Texas A&M. Avery Johnson’s team now owns four wins over Top 50 teams and three over Top 25 clubs. In addition, the Tide has a non-conference win over Clemson, and it has only one bad loss (at Auburn). In other words, a win at Florida on Saturday puts Alabama very much in the thick of the bubble conversation. Meanwhile, Florida is in decent shape with its No. 25 RPI rating, but it can certainly use a Top-50 scalp over Alabama. The ‘over’ is on a 6-2 run in UF’s last eight games. The Gators have seen the ‘over’ go 8-3 in their 11 lined home contests.


-- Houston’s Robert Gray Jr. is ‘out’ Saturday against UCF with a sprained ankle. Gray (17.3 PPG) will miss his fourth straight game.


-- Nebraska’s best player Shavon Shields (concussion) is ‘questionable’ for Saturday’s home game against Penn State Shields averages 15.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game.


-- The ‘over’ has cashed at a lucrative 14-5-1 overall clip for the Cornhuskers, who have seen the ‘over’ go 7-3 in their home games.


-- Did you catch the end of Boise State at Colorado State late Wednesday night? If not, we have a legit candidate for Bad Beat of the Year and a nominee for a Bad Beat All-Timer. BSU had the ball at halfcourt with 0.8 seconds remaining in the first overtime. Anthony Drmic inbounded to James Webb III, who initially cut to the basket for a lob that wasn’t there. Therefore, he broke back towards the ball and sprinted to the wing, where Drmic hit him in stride. Webb caught, elevated and released in one fluid motion and kissed home the game winner off the glass. The shot was a 3-pointer that would’ve give the Broncos a win by three. The line closed at 3.5, but some gamblers may have bought the half-point to three and some books spent time with the line at three at various points Wednesday. Also, trailing by two at intermission, BSU was a three-point ‘chalk’ for second-half bets, meaning Boise State -1 adjusted for those bettors (hand raised). The ball was clearly in the air as the clock was at 0.2, 0.1 and then all zeros. There wasn’t even anything to review! Nevertheless, the Mountain West refs went to the scorer’s table and…(check this out) determined the clock (operated by the home team!) didn’t start quick enough. Now here’s where things got real interesting. These refs decided to break out a stopwatch and time what happened on their own. (THEY DID WHAT?!?!) From there, the refs determined that Webb took too much time to release the game winner and, therefore, the game was headed toward double overtime (even though nearly all of the CSU fans had already exited the building). You know what’s next – CSU scored the first nine points of double OT and won, 97-93.

Saturday's Late Tip Sheet
By David Schwab


This Saturday afternoon’s college basketball schedule is loaded with some great matchups and fortunately for sports bettors looking to extend the action into prime time there are trio of night games to pique your interest.


First up is a Big East clash between St. John’s and the top team in the nation Villanova in an 8:00 p.m. (ET) start.


Moving to the Big 12 in an 8:30 p.m. tip, No. 24 Texas will tangle with No. 14 Iowa State in the final head-to-head matchup of the day between nationally ranked teams.


The West Coast Conference’s Gonzaga Bulldogs and the Mustangs of SMU out of the AAC close things out in an inter-conference clash at 10:00 p.m. ET.


St. John’s Red Storm at No. 1 Villanova Wildcats (CBS Sports Network, 8:00 p.m. ET)


Opening Odds: Villanova -27


Betting Matchup


St. John’s has sunk to the bottom of the Big East standings with 12 straight conference losses and it is 7-18 straight-up overall. It has been a bit better against the spread in those 12 losses at 5-7 as part of a 9-16 record ATS on the year. The total has stayed UNDER in three of its last five games. The Red Storm have been dreadful on both ends of the court with a scoring average of 66.7 points trying to keep pace with a defense that is allowing an average of 75.9 points per game.


The Wildcats ascended to the top spot in both major national polls on the strength of last Saturday’s 72-60 victory over then-No. 11 Providence as five-point road favorites. An 86-59 romp against DePaul on Tuesday as a 14 ½-point favorite on the road raised Villanova’s SU record in the Big East to 11-1, but it is still just 6-6 ATS. The Wildcats are only ranked fifth in the Big East in scoring with 75.9 PPG, but they are ranked eighth in the nation in points allowed (61.0).


Betting Trends


-- The Red Storm are 2-7 ATS in their last nine road games and they are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games against a team with a SU winning record at home. The total has gone OVER in nine of their last 13 games on the road.


-- The Wildcats are 19-8 ATS in their last 27 conference games and they have covered in nine of their last 13 games played on Saturday. The total has stayed UNDER in nine of their last 13 home games.


-- The favorite in this matchup is 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings and the total has gone OVER in eight of the last 11 games. Villanova beat St. John’s 68-53 on Jan. 31, but it could not cover the 20-point spread as a road favorite.


No. 24 Texas Longhorns at No. 14 Iowa State Cyclones (ESPN, 8:30 p.m. ET)


Opening Odds: OFF


Betting Matchup


Texas gave Oklahoma all it could handle this past Monday in a tough 63-60 loss as a 7 ½-point road underdog. This was just the second SU loss in the Longhorns last nine games and they have now covered the spread in their last seven outings. The total stayed UNDER 147 ½ points in Monday’s loss and it has stayed UNDER in their last five games. Junior guard Isaiah Taylor scored a team-high 19 points against the Sooners and he continues to lead Texas in points (15.4), shooting percentage (44.1) and assists (4.9).


The Cyclones have now lost three of their last four games (SU and ATS) following Wednesday’s stunning 85-82 defeat against Texas Tech as 2 ½-point road favorites. The total went OVER the closing 149 ½-point line in that game after staying UNDER in six of their last seven contests. Iowa State is hoping to have junior forward Jameel McKay back in the lineup for Saturday’s matchup after sitting out the last two games due to a team suspension. Senior forward Georges Niang is putting up a team-high 19 PPG as part of the Cyclones’ scoring average of 82.2 points a game.


Betting Trends


-- The Longhorns have covered in seven of their last 10 Saturday games and they are a perfect 6-0 ATS in their last six games against a team with a SU winning record. The total has stayed UNDER in their last five road games.


-- The Cyclones are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight home games, but they have covered ATS in 11 of their last 15 Saturday games.


-- Head-to-head in this Big 12 tilt, the home team is 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight meetings and the total has gone OVER in six of the last seven meetings at Iowa State. Texas knocked-off the Cyclones on Jan. 12 in a thrilling 94-91 overtime victory as a 1 ½-point home underdog.


Gonzaga Bulldogs at No. SMU Mustangs (ESPN2, 10:00 p.m. ET)


Opening Odds: SMU -5 ½


Betting Matchup


Gonzaga has risen to the top of the WCC standings at 12-2 as part of an overall SU record of 20-5. The Bulldogs are an even 7-7 ATS in those 14 conference games, but they have been able to cover in three of their last four outings. The total went OVER 157 in Thursday’s 92-66 romp against Portland as 10 ½-point road favorites and it has gone OVER in three of their last five games. Senior forward Kyle Wiltjer hit five three-point shots as part of his 21 total points in Thursday’s win. He leads the team in scoring this season with 21.8 PPG while shooting 50.5 percent from the field.


The Mustangs are 20-3 SU on the year and their 9-3 record in conference play has them tied with Temple for the lead in the AAC. However, they have now lost three of their last five games SU with a 2-4 record ATS in their last six contests. SMU is still a very tough out on its home court. It is 12-1 SU as part of a 46-4 record at home dating back to the 2013/2014 season. Senior guard Nic Moore leads the team in both points (16.3) and assists (4.9) and he is coming off a 27-point night in a losing effort against Tulsa.


Betting Trends


-- The Bulldogs are 5-11-1 ATS in their last 17 road games and they have gone just 0-6-1 ATS in their last seven nonconference games. The total has stayed UNDER in nine of their last 11 games played outside their conference.


-- The Mustangs have failed to cover in six of their last seven games played at home, but they are 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight games played on a Saturday. The total has gone OVER in five of their last seven nonconference games.


-- Gonzaga rolled to a 72-56 victory last season as a nine-point home favorite in the first ever meeting between these two teams and the total stayed UNDER the closing 141 ½-point line.

Re: CBB Betting Info. 2/13

Saturday's NCAAB Top 25 betting cheat sheet


The football season may have just ended, but the 'Big Dance' will be here before you know it. So it's time to dive head first into college hoops as we break down Saturday's Top 25 games in our betting cheat sheet.


No. 21 Kentucky Wildcats at No. 20 South Carolina Gamecocks (+2, OFF)


* The Wildcats are still learning how to close out games, which should become easier with their youthful backcourt maturing as the season progresses. Freshman guard Jamal Murray (18.5 points) leads the team in scoring, but sophomore point guard Tyler Ulis (16.2 points, 6.4 assists) has shown an ability to shine on the big stage, averaging 21.7 points and 7.3 assists against ranked opponents.


* The Gamecocks are 13-0 at home, and the sellout crowd should be especially raucous with so much at stake. South Carolina feeds off the energy of senior forward Michael Carrera, who leads the team in scoring (14.2) and rebounding (7.2) and has averaged 20.2 points and 9.2 boards over the past five contests.


Trends:


* Under is 4-0 in the last four meetings.
* Kentucky is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Over is 5-0 in South Carolina's last five home games.
* South Carolina is 14-3 ATS in its last 17 home games.


TCU Horned Frogs at No. 10 West Virginia Mountaineers (-17.5, OFF)


* The Horned Frogs got caught in the teeth of the Big 12 schedule with seven straight conference losses – five against ranked teams – before coming alive in the second half against the Cowboys on Monday.


* The Mountaineers dropped into a three-way tie for first place with Oklahoma and Kansas after a loss at the Jayhawks on Tuesday. Jonathan Holton was reinstated on Thursday from his indefinite suspension for violating team rules after four games and is expected to be back in the lineup on Saturday.


Trends:


* Over is 4-1 in the last five meetings.
* TCU is 1-6 ATS in its last seven road games.
* West Virginia is 12-3 ATS in its last 15 home games.
* Under is 6-1 in West Virginia's last seven home games.


Georgetown Hoyas at No. 17 Providence Friars (-4, OFF)


* Sitting a game up are the Hoyas, who snapped a three-game losing streak of their own with a 92-67 rout of St. John's on Monday. D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera produced 24 points as Georgetown reached the 90-point mark for the second time this season - both coming against the Red Storm.


* The Friars were at 6-3 after winning 73-69 at Georgetown on Jan. 30, but they have dropped three straight after a double-overtime setback at Marquette on Wednesday. The lack of supporting cast for Bentil and guard Kris Dunn has been well-documented, and the shooting numbers for those extras continue to suffer.


Trends:


* Under is 7-0 in the last seven meetings in Providence.
* Over is 5-1 in Georgetown's last six versus the Big East.
* Georgetown is 1-5 ATS in the last six games overall.
* Providence is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.


Northern Iowa Panthers at No. 24 Wichita State Shockers (-14, OFF)


* Wichita State puts the nation's longest active home-court winning streak of 43 games on the line and tries to match a school record with its 25th consecutive Missouri Valley Conference regular-season home victory Saturday.


* The Panthers defeated Missouri State 83-69 on Wednesday for their fifth straight victory. The Panthers' success can be traced to defense (average of 59.4 points allowed in the last five contests) and taking care of the ball as they record the eighth-fewest turnovers nationally at 9.9 per game.


Trends:


* Northern Iowa is 5-0 ATS in its last five games overall.
* Wichita State is 4-0 ATS in its last four home games.
* Over is 4-1 in Wichita State's last five games after allowing less than 50 points in their previous game.
* Over is 4-0 in Northern Iowa's last four road games versus a team with a winning home record.


No. 13 Texas A&M Aggies at LSU Tigers (-1, OFF)


* The Aggies have lost three straight games and four of their past five and are one game behind the three co-leaders - South Carolina, Kentucky and the Tigers. Three of Texas A&M's four losses during the recent skid have been by three points or fewer, including Wednesday's 63-62 loss to Alabama.


* Freshman forward Ben Simmons had just 10 points on 3-of-9 shooting in last month's loss to the Aggies but has been stellar since with four 20-point outings in six games and an average of 19.3 points during the stretch. Simmons leads the Tigers in scoring (19.4), rebounding (12.1), assists (5.1) and steals (44) and has 15 double-doubles on the season.


Trends:


* Under is 5-0 in the last five meetings at LSU.
* Under is 10-1 in the last 11 meetings.
* Texas A&M is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Home team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings.


No. 16 Purdue Boilermakers at Michigan Wolverines (OFF)


* The Boilermakers pulled out an 82-81 overtime victory over ninth-ranked Michigan State to beat a top-10 team for the first time since 2011 and move back into contention for the Big Ten title. The Boilermakers sit two games behind No. 5 Iowa at the top of the conference standings with six games remaining and hope to close the gap by sweeping the season series with the Wolverines following an 87-70 win on Jan. 7 at Mackey Arena.


* Michigan snapped a two-game losing streak by fending off struggling Minnesota 82-74 on Wednesday. The Wolverines knocked down 14 3-pointers and have made at least 10 triples in 17 games this season as they improved to 49-0 when scoring 80 or more points under head coach John Beilein. Michigan is just 2-5 against teams currently ranked in the top-25 with all five losses coming by double digits, but can leapfrog Purdue in the conference standings with their third consecutive home win in the series.


Trends:


* Purdue is 1-5 ATS in the last six overall.
* Michigan is 0-4 ATS in its last four home games.
* Over is 13-3 in Michigan's last 16 versus Big Ten opponents.
* Over is 4-1 in the last five meetings.


No. 4 Xavier Musketeers at Butler Bulldogs (-3.5, OFF)


* The fourth-ranked Musketeers try to avoid back-to-back losses for the first time since last February after getting upset at Creighton on Tuesday night. The Musketeers have four players averaging in double figures led by sophomore guard Trevon Bluiett (15.2), who also is third on the team in rebounding (6.7).


* The Bulldogs are tied for sixth place with Providence starting the weekend but have won three straight and four of their last five. Four players average in double figures, including senior guard Kellen Dunham (16.1) and senior swingman Roosevelt Jones (14.3) -- both of whom were preseason first team all-Big East picks.


Trends:


* Xavier is 9-1-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
* Favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings.
* Under is 8-2 in Butler's last 10 games overall.
* Under is 4-1 in Xavier's last five road games.


No. 6 Kansas Jayhawks at No. 3 Oklahoma Sooners (-5, OFF)


* Back on Jan. 5, Kansas prevailed against Oklahoma in a triple-overtime game that left Jayhawks guard Frank Mason III telling reporting, "Craziest game I've ever been a part of." The Jayhawks pushed their winning streak to four games Tuesday with a 10-point victory over West Virginia as the team's frontcourt took center stage.


* Sooners coach Lon Kruger added "I don't know that I've been in one better" after his team fell despite Buddy Hield's career-high 46 points. The senior guard has emerged as the favorite for National Player of the Year and scored 27 points in Monday's three-point win over Texas as the Sooners rebounded from a disappointing loss to Kansas State.


Trends:


* Kansas is 4-0 ATS in its last four games overall.
* Over is 6-0 in the last six meetings.
* Over is 6-1 in the last seven meetings at Oklahoma.
* Road team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.


No. 12 Oregon Ducks at Stanford Cardinal (+7, OFF)


* The Ducks saw their six-game winning streak come to an end Thursday at California. Oregon beat Stanford 71-58 in Eugene on Jan. 10 and will be heavy favorites against an injury-plagued Cardinal team that has dropped four straight.


* Leading rebounder Reid Travis will miss his 15th straight game Saturday with a stress reaction in left leg while forward Michael Humphrey remains limited due to a bruised thigh after scoring six points in 20 minutes in Thursday’s loss to the Beavers.


Trends:


* Oregon is 6-1 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up loss.
* Stanford is 0-5-1 ATS in their last six games overall.
* Over is 4-0 in Oregon's last four road games.
* Under is 3-0-1 in the last four meetings in Stanford.


No. 7 Virginia Cavaliers at Duke Blue Devils (-2, OFF)


* The seventh-ranked Cavaliers eye an eighth straight victory Saturday. The Cavaliers recorded a fourth consecutive double-digit victory Tuesday, defeating Virginia Tech 67-49 to remain one-half game behind conference-leading North Carolina. The Cavaliers, who led the nation in scoring defense a season ago, have moved up to third in the country this season (ACC-low 59.6 points) after holding each of their last four opponents to 50 points or fewer.


* The Blue Devils are tied for eighth in the country in scoring offense (ACC-best 84.3 points), relying heavily on a six-man rotation led by the conference's second-highest scorer in Grayson Allen (20.8 points) and seventh-highest scorer Brandon Ingram (16.9). Allen, who has drained his last 19 free throws and is 15-of-23 beyond the arc over his last four contests, has tallied at least 27 points in three of his last five outings.


Trends:


* Over is 4-0 in the last four meetings.
* Virginia is 4-0 ATS in its last four meetings at Duke.
* Under is 4-0 in Virginia's last four overall.
* Duke is 7-0 ATS in their last seven home games versus a team with a winning road record.


Wisconsin Badgers at No. 2 Maryland Terrapins (-9, OFF)


* The Badgers are playing their way off the bubble and into strong at-large NCAA Tournament position with a six-game winning streak that includes victories over Michigan State and Indiana, but they fell just short in their first meeting with Maryland. The Badgers are beating opposing defenses from deep and are 24-of-45 from 3-point range in the last two games.


* Maryland has won five games in a row to ascend to No. 2 in the country and the top of the Big Ten. Terrapins star Melo Trimble buried a 3-pointer with 1.2 seconds left at Wisconsin on Jan. 9 and finished with 21 points in the 63-60 triumph. Trimble got most of the night off as Maryland took a break from Big Ten play and cruised past Bowie State but should be back to his 35-plus minutes against the Badgers.


Trends:


* Wisconsin is 6-0 ATS in their last six games overall.
* Maryland is 4-1 ATS in their last five home games.
* Under is 5-1 in Wisconsin's last road road games.
* Under is 12-3-1 in Maryland's last 16 overall.


Texas Tech Red Raiders at No. 19 Baylor Bears (-9.5, OFF)


* The Red Raiders nearly upset three ranked league opponents - including Baylor in January - before knocking off No. 15 Iowa State on Wednesday. "We've been able to compete with most teams in the league, just about everyone," Red Raiders coach Tubby Smith said Wednesday. "I like our guys' attitude and I'm sure this is a real morale booster for us."


* The Bears needed a Lester Medford 3-pointer at the buzzer to escape Texas Tech with a 63-60 win on Jan. 16. Baylor snapped a two-game skid by beating Kansas State on Wednesday without senior forward Rico Gathers and starts the weekend a game back of league-leaders Oklahoma, Kansas and West Virginia.


Trends:


* Texas Tech is 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall.
* Baylor is 0-4 ATS in its last four home games.
* Under is 4-1 in Texas Tech's last five Saturday games.
* Over is 5-1 in Baylor's last six games versus a team with a winning % above .600.


St. John's Red Storm at No. 1 Villanova Wildcats (-27.5, OFF)


* After a strong opening statement in defense of its No. 1 ranking, Villanova takes aim at its 14th win in 15 games Saturday. Villanova is a relatively mediocre team offensively, but the team ranks eighth in the nation (entering the weekend) in scoring defense with an average of 61 points allowed. Hart paces the team with 15.5 points per game, while Arcidiacono averages 12.3 but enters mired in a four-game shooting slump (9-of-33).


* Since respectable efforts against Villanova and Xavier (another top-10 team), St. John's has lost its last two against Butler and Georgetown by a combined 58 points. Forwards Christian Jones (14 points, nine rebounds) and Kassoum Yakwe (12 points, two blocks) were the only two bright spots against the Hoyas, as the team's perimeter players combined to miss 13 of their 17 3-pointers.


Trends:


* St. John's 1-4 ATS in their last five Saturday games.
* Villanova is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games versus a team with a winning % below .400.
* Over is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings.
* Under is 8-2 in Villanova's last 10 games versus a team with a winning % below .400.


No. 25 Texas Longhorns at No. 15 Iowa State Cyclones (-5.5, OFF)


* The Longhorns fell by three points at No. 3 Oklahoma on Monday to end a four-game winning streak. The Longhorns shot 40 percent from the field, made just 6-of-23 from behind the 3-point arc and leading scorer Isaiah Taylor (15.4 per game) recorded 19 to lead the way against the Sooners.


* Iowa State lost at Texas Tech in overtime Wednesday for its third defeat in four outings. Jameel McKay, who averages 12.4 points and a team-best nine rebounds, sat out his second straight game for disciplinary reasons Wednesday but has been cleared to return to the lineup Saturday.


Trends:


* Texas is 7-0 ATS in its last seven games overall.
* Underdog is 3-0-1 ATS in the last four meetings.
* Over is 6-1 in the last seven meetings at Iowa State.
* Under is 7-0 in Texas' last seven games overall.

NCAA Basketball Betting 3-Point Play: Three Interesting Feb. 13 Opening Lines
by Alan Matthews


Thankfully the NCAA has come to its senses. Instead of insisting that the four play-in games be called the first round of the NCAA Tournament and the Round of 64 the second round, the organization this week announced it will simply call those first games in Dayton the First Four and the Round of 64 back to the first round and Round of 32 the second round. Not that many people were following the NCAA's "stylebook" anyway.


No. 6 Kansas at No. 3 Oklahoma (-4.5)


It's a 2:30 p.m. ET tipoff for this Big 12 showdown on ESPN. The winner of this game probably takes the Big 12 regular-season title -- especially if Kansas completes the season sweep -- although West Virginia is tied atop the standings with the Jayhawks and Sooners. KU still has tough trips to K-State, Baylor and Texas, while OU has to go to West Virginia and Texas.


Both these schools are unbeaten at home. Kansas (20-4, 8-3) won its 37th straight game at Allen Fieldhouse on Tuesday with a 75-65 win over those Mountaineers, avenging KU's worst loss of the season on Jan. 12 in Morgantown. Oklahoma (20-3, 8-3) was nearly upset at home by a surging Texas team on Monday but National Player of the Year lock Buddy Hield hit a 3-pointer with 1.3 seconds left for the win. The senior from the Bahamas is truly having one of the best seasons by any player this century. He leads all major conference players in scoring at 25.7 ppg and is tops in the nation in 3-pointers made per game (about 4.2). He's also looking at a rare 50/50/90 season, shooting at least those percentages from the field, 3-point range and charity stripe, respectively. No other player in the country is at those marks currently. These schools played the game of the year on Jan. 4 in Lawrence when No. 1 Kansas beat No. 2 Oklahoma 109-106 in triple overtime. KU actually blew chances to win at the end of regulation and the first two OTs. Hield was a monster with a career-high 46 points but did have a key turnover in triple OT. It was the first No. 1 vs. No. 2 game involving teams from the same conference in nine years.


Key trends: Kansas is 9-2 against the spread in its past 11 following an ATS loss. OU is 1-6 ATS in its past seven Saturday games and 2-6 ATS in its past eight at home. The road team is 4-1 ATS in the past five meetings.


I'm leaning: Fully expecting another fantastic finish. Last year in Norman, Hield scored on a tip-in off teammate Jordan Woodard's missed layup with under a second left for a 75-73 OU win. I'll take the Sooners at home (despite those above trends). Both these schools would win the national title if the NCAA Tournament was held in its gym.


No. 7 Virginia at Duke (-2)


ACC game at 4:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. I've seen some power rankings on major sites this week that list Virginia as the top team in country currently, and I wouldn't argue that. The Cavs (20-4, 9-3) have won seven straight, the last four by double digits. Malcolm Brogdon is averaging 20.3 points and shooting 54.8 percent from the field in that stretch. To be fair, those seven wins included just one over a ranked team (Louisville), and here Duke isn't currently ranked. On Tuesday, UVA avoided a look-ahead game in beating visiting Virginia Tech 67-49. That's the fourth straight game one of the nation's top defenses held its foe to 50 points or fewer. UVA has trailed for less than two minutes over its past four games.


Duke (18-6, 7-4) appears to have turned things around, as since losing four of five it has won three straight behind one of the nation's best offenses. The most impressive of those victories was Monday's 72-65 home win over No. 13 Louisville. Grayson Allen had 19 points and freshman Brandon Ingram 18 points and 10 boards in Duke's first win over a ranked team this season. It was also the 1,000th game in Cameron Indoor Stadium history. However, I don't think Duke can reach a Final Four without its best post player, Amile Jefferson. The senior hasn't played since early December due to a right foot fracture, and this week Mike Krzyzewski said there's still no timetable and that the pain is still there. Now the word "redshirt" is being bandied about.


Key trends: Virginia is 2-5 ATS in its past seven road games. Duke is 7-0 ATS in its past seven at home vs. teams with a winning road record.


I'm leaning: Only regular-season meeting between the teams. Duke has won 16 straight at home in the series. Cameron is the only ACC arena in which UVA Coach Tony Bennett has not won yet. Make it 17 straight to get the Blue Devils back into Monday's polls.


No. 24 Texas at No. 14 Iowa State (-6.5)


Another Big 12 matchup with an 8:30 p.m. ET tip on ESPN. Texas (16-8, 7-4) might go back on the NCAA Tournament bubble with a loss here. The Longhorns had won four straight before falling 63-60 at No. 3 Oklahoma on Monday in a game UT largely outplayed the Sooners and led a large majority of the game (34:57 to be exact). The Horns just couldn't stop OU's Hield, who scored his team's final 12 points. Texas held Oklahoma to a season-low in points. The Horns also committed just nine turnovers. They are 4-3 this season against ranked teams and 2-3 away from home.


Iowa State (17-7, 6-5) when at full strength might have had the best starting five in the Big 12 but the Cyclones haven't been at full strength in a while (guard Naz Long was lost for season in mid-December). They have lost three of four and could fall out of the Top 25 with another defeat here. On Wednesday, ISU was upset 85-82 in OT at Texas Tech, one of the Big 12's worst teams. Cyclones starting forward Jameel McKay sat for a second game due to suspension. He averages 12.4 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game and was last season's Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year. With ISU now a bit desperate, it appears that Coach Steve Prohm will let McKay play here barring McKay doing something stupid before then. Iowa State lost at Texas 94-91 in overtime on Jan. 12. Isaiah Taylor scored 28 points, including five of his team's seven in overtime, to lead UT. Iowa State had won the past four in the series.


Key trends: ISU is 11-4 ATS in its past 15 Saturday games. The home team is 5-2-1 ATS in the past eight meetings.


I'm leaning: Iowa State, which hasn't lost to Texas at home in six years.

Re: CBB Betting Info. 2/13

'ACC Showdown'


The Cavaliers playing some pretty good basketball behind 71.4 points/game along with knowing how to protect their own basket allowing a stingy 59.6 per/contest face a stiff test at Cameron Indoor Arena Saturday afternoon. Duke has hit a few bump this season, but the Blue Devils have won three straight entering the contest. Coach K's troops are also extremely tough to topple in front of the Cameron Crazies. In their last 63 games on home court, the Blue Devils have won 60 with just 3 losses. Over that span Blue Devils are 33-26-3 against the betting line.


Home court advantage along with being one of the better teams in the country on offense (84.3) will play a significant role in Duke winning this contest. However, you bet Blue Devils at some risk. Since the 2001-02 campaign, Duke has won twelve consecutive regular season games on Cameron Indoor Arena hardwood vs. Virginia but the Blue Devils certainly haven't followed in that same vein when adding the great equalizer (spread) posting a 2-9-1 record at the betting window.

NCAA Basketball Betting Preview


Louisville vs Notre Dame Saturday, February 13, 4:00 EST


It is getting to the point of the season where every loss can have an effect on ranking or the likelihood of making it into March Madness. The Louisville Cardinals are definitely going to be in, but if they want to maintain a high ranking, they need to keep finding ways to win. They will be put to the test on Saturday when they head into South bend to face the Fighting Irish.


Why bet on the Louisville Cardinals
The Cardinals (19-5, 8-3) did not get to the #13 rank on luck alone, as this is a very balanced team all around. Their mental toughness is going to be put to the test here, though, as they are coming off a 72-65 loss to Duke on the road. There is certainly no shame in losing to the National Champions, but those are the types of games that the Cardinals are going to have to win if they have aspirations of winning it all this year. The good news for the Cardinals is that they won their two road games prior to that tough loss, with both of those victories coming against unranked opponents. Louisville still has a shot at landing atop the ACC at the end of the regular season, but they can’t afford any more losses if that is to happen. The Cardinals are averaging 78.4 PPG, and are giving up 68.3 PPG.


Why bet on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish
The Irish (17-7, 8-4) may be developing a giant killer label, as they have managed to knock off 2 of the last 3 ranked opponents that they have faced. The biggest surprise may well have been their 80-76 win over North Carolina last weekend. That was a game that looked set for a blowout in the first half, but which Notre Dame ended up winning by taking control in the latter stages of the game. The home crowd was rocking, and you can bet they are going to be loud again this weekend when they sense that another scalp is there for the taking. The Irish are currently on a 5-game winning streak on home court. Notre Dame are averaging 79.0 PPG, and are giving up 70.6 PPG.


Expert Pick and Final Score Prediction


It would certainly be something to see Notre Dame take out ranked opponents on consecutive weekends, but I just don’t see it happening. The Cardinals are sure to be smarting after that Duke loss, and will be looking to take their frustrations out on someone.

Re: CBB Betting Info. 2/13

Hot & Not Report
By Joe Williams *Who’s Hot*
Welcome to February, statistically the coldest month of the year. There are a handful of teams bucking that trend against the spread (ATS), but there are also plenty of teams struggling against the number and as chilly as the February wind.
Idaho State Bengals (6-1 ATS L/7)
The Bengals are making a push in the Big Sky Conference, moving to 14-5 straight up. They’re also 6-1 ATS over their past seven games heading into Saturday’s game against Sacramento State. They lost 82-71 in Sacramento against the Hornets Jan. 14, narrowing failing to cover a 10 1/2-point number. Look for the Bengals to perform much better at home in the rematch, especially since the Bengals are 6-1 SU/ATS over their past seven in Pocatello.
San Jose State Spartans (9-2 ATS L/11)
The Spartans of San Jose State haven’t been great in terms of win-loss record, but they’ve been covering regularly. They were 15-point underdogs at UNLV Wednesday, but nearly pulled off a straight up win before falling 64-61. It was their fourth straight cover, as they improved to 8-1 ATS in their past nine road games. Remember the Spartans when they travel to New Mexico Saturday night.
Seton Hall Pirates (7-1 ATS L/8)
The Hall slipped up a home against Butler, 81-75, on Wednesday for their first non-cover since Jan. 9. They have a week to get it right before traveling to Georgetown next Wednesday to face a team they just beat 69-61 on Feb. 6 for a cover. The Pirates have covered six in a row on the road, too, with their only non-cover this season at George Washington on Dec. 2.
Tennessee State Tigers (6-1-1 ATS L/8)
The Tigers of TSU have been hot against the number lately, even if they’re just 3-3 SU over the past six. They travel to Eastern Kentucky Saturday to face a team which thumped them by 16 points at home back on Feb. 4. Look for Tennessee State to be a double-digit underdog in that game, and as such they’ll be a very good value since they have been hot against the number lately.
William & Mary Tribe (10-2 ATS L/12)
The Tribe of the Colonial Athletic Association is coming off a loss at home to Hofstra, but outside of games against Hofstra they have been very hot. Since Jan. 2 the Tribe is 9-3 SU and 10-2 ATS, with two of those straight up losses and non-covers against the Pride. Good thing they won’t see Hofstra again until at least the postseason conference tournament.
*Who’s Not*
Denver Pioneers (4-11 ATS L/15)
The Pioneers have been a dependable team against the number in past seasons, but they have struggled to cover this year. Denver travels to IUPU-Fort Wayne Saturday to face a team which has been the polar opposite against the spread. The Mastodons topped the Pioneers 65-64 in Denver in the first game as two-point underdogs Jan. 9, and they’re 17-4 ATS in 21 games this season.
Georgia State Panthers (0-8 ATS L/8)
The Panthers were four-point favorites Thursday at South Alabama, but they were tripped up 79-78 in overtime for their eighth consecutive non-cover.
Virginia Military Institude Keydets (3-13 ATS L/16)
The Keydets topped UNC-Greensboro 86-72 last time out as 5 1/2-point underdogs, but they have had difficulty covering spreads lately, and they haven’t covered in back-to-back games all season. Remember that fact when they travel to Chattanooga for their next game Thursday, Feb. 18. The Mocs are 8-2 ATS in their past 10 games, including 5-1 ATS in their past six at home. That doesn’t bode well for VMI in their road outing.
Total Notes
— Georgia State has hit the ‘over’ in six of their past eight games heading into their road game at Troy Saturday. The over is 3-1 in their past four road games, and it hit in their first meeting at home against Troy back on Jan. 7.
— The ‘over’ continues to come through for Rutgers, going 3-0 in their past three and 11-1 in their past 12. They host Ohio State Saturday, and the ‘over’ hit in their first meetings back on Jan. 13 in Columbus.
— The ‘under’ hit Thursday night for St. Mary’s (CA), and is an impressive 4-0 in their past four and 8-2 in their past 10 outings heading into their home game with Loyola Marymount Saturday. The ‘under’ hit in their first meeting with the Lions back on Jan. 7 with 121 points on a total of 138.5.
— San Jose State has had five straight ‘unders’ cash heading into their meeting Saturday at 6 p.m. ET at New Mexico. On the flip side, the Lobos have hit the ‘over’ in four straight.
— Santa Clara has had the ‘over’ connect in four straight outings heading into their game at home aginst Brigham Young Saturday. The ‘over’ hit in their first meeting with the Cougars in Provo back on Jan. 7.
— The ‘over’ has cashed in nine of the past 11 games for The Citadel heading into their game at Wofford Saturday. The ‘over’ hit in the first meeting with the Terriers Jan. 14, and the ‘over’ is 6-0 in the past six, and 9-1 in the past 10, for Wofford.
