Sports Picks & Predictions

*5 Star TOP Play Total* Green Bay is the top team in the Horizon League, and Valparaiso is one of their top contenders. Valpo upset Wisconsin Green Bay earlier this year, and now it's time for the Phoenix to get a measure of revenge. Both teams are good on offense and this number was released too low. I had this one lined at 140 points. Take the over. *Note- I played this one right at the opener and the line jumped quickly afterward. I would play this up to 137 for 3 stars. Thank you*

*4 Star NCAA BB Totals Takedown* The Alabama Crimson Tide and Texas A&M Aggies played to a 50-49 game last year. These two teams are all about defense, and they are very inefficient on offense. The offenses are unlikely to get into any kind of a rhythm in this one. This one likely won't be as low as their last meeting, but I have it projected at 117 points. Take the under here.

*4 Star NCAA BB Total DOMINATION* The Memphis Tigers beat the Rutgers Scarlet Knights 101-69 a couple weeks ago in Memphis. I played the over in that game and won comfortably. I'm playing the over again in this meeting at Rutgers. Rutgers is the fastest paced team in the AAC, and Memphis is number two. Memphis gets tons of easy baskets against Rutgers' bad ball handlers and bad defense.

The over is 7-0 in Rutgers last 7. It is 7-0 in their last 7 league games. The over is 5-0 in their last 5 following a loss. The over is 4-0 in their last 4 vs. a team with a win percentage above 60%. The over is 10-1 in their last 11. A 33-1 angle. Take the over.

*3 Star NCAA BB Totals TKO* The East Carolina Pirates are a team I've had my eyes on closely of late. East Carolina has decided to change the way they play. They previously were a run and gun team, but now they are slowing it down and playing a zone to control the tempo. The oddsmakers are still lining their games a bit too high. Look for them to fight hard to slow this one down. Take the under.

*3 Star NCAA BB MAC Total* The Eastern Michigan Eagles are the best defense in the MAC. Eastern Michigan can really slow down opposing offenses. Northern Illinois plays slowly and they are awful on offense. The Huskies put up only 25 points in one of the meetings against E. Michigan last year. These teams met three times last year and the highest game finished at 93 points. Take the under in this one.

*5 Star NCAA BB Late Night BAILOUT TOP Play* The Arizona Wildcats are great because of their defense. Offensively, the Wildcats have been really struggling of late. Utah is a good defensive team, and they are excellent defensively on their home court. Utah's offense struggles against top teams. The first meeting between these two teams played to 121 point total. I think this one plays out in a very similar fashion. The pace should stay slow. I have this game lined at 123 points.

The under is 1-0 in their meetings this year. The under is 3-0-1 in Arizona's last 4 road games. The under is 3-0-1 in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The under is 5-0 in their last 5 following an ATS loss. The under is 3-0-1 in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a home win percentage of 60% or higher. The under is 4-1 in their last 5 Wednesday games. A 19-1 angle. Take the under big!

*4 Star NCAA BB Totals TKO* Notre Dame and Miami Florida are two of my favorite 'under' teams. The Fighting Irish and the Hurricanes love to stall and try to limit the number of possessions played in the game. I think this game plays to a low possession total of somewhere around 56 possessions per team. With that small of a number of possessions, it would take very high shooting percentages for this to go over the total. I had this game at 116 points. Take the under.

*5 Star NCAA BB TOP Play Total* The TCU Horned Frogs are horrible on the offensive end. Kansas State is one of the best defenses in the country. The Wildcats aren't the type of team to run up the score normally either. Typically, Bruce Weber's team is content to play great defense and use up the shot clock on the offensive end. I had this game lined at 123 points.

The under is 7-0 in Kansas State's last 7 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. The under is 7-0 in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a win percentage of less than 40%. The under cashed in the first time these two played this year (total finished at just 102 points). A 15-0 angle. Take the under big!

*5 Star NCAA BB TOP Play SEC Total* The South Carolina Gamecocks are playing much quicker this year. South Carolina has turned up the speed in a big way, and Arkansas is always willing to get into a track meet with their opponent. Arkansas will force a ton of turnovers that lead to easy buckets with their full court press. South Carolina should get a lot of easy buckets on offensive rebounds and putbacks since Arkansas is terrible at defensive rebounding. I had this game lined at 159 points. Take the over big here!

*4 Star NCAA BB Hidden GEM Total* The Ball State Cardinals and Central Michigan Chippewas have one major thing in common: they don't play any defense. These two offenses might not be very good normally, but I think they'll look much better tonight as they go against such a bad defense. My numbers had this game at 146 points. The over is 5-0 in CMU's last 5. The over is 5-0 in their last 5 league games. The over is 4-0 in their last 4 following a loss. The over is 4-0 in their last 4 following an ATS win. The over is 12-2 in their last 14 Wednesday games. A 30-2 angle. Take the over.

*4 Star NCAA BB Big 10 Total* The Ohio State Buckeyes host the Northwestern Wildcats tonight and both of these teams are excellent defensively. Ohio State is 3rd nationally in defense and Northwestern is 9th. With a slow pace from both of these teams, it's hard to imagine either team scoring many points here. A lot of strong defense and stall ball from the offenses in this one. I had this total at 111 points. The under is 9-1 in Northwestern's last 10 road games. Take the under.

*4 Star NCAA BB Totals TAKEDOWN* The Virginia Cavaliers are a great team this year, and they know how to slow down the tempo. Virginia is one of the best defenses in the nation. The Cavs simply don't give up many points against anyone. They allowed 45 against Virginia Tech in the first meeting. VA Tech is horrible offensively and they are stalling of late as well. I set this game at 113 points, so I see lots of value on the under. The under is 4-0 in Virginia Tech's last 4 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. The under is 4-0 in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a win percentage over 60%. The under is 9-1 in their last 10 home games. A 17-1 angle. Take the under.

*3 Star NCAA BB 100% Angle Total* The Kentucky Wildcats are changing the way they play of late. Coach Calipari is experimenting with playing zone defense to try to fix their defensive issues. That has slowed their recent games down to a crawl. In their last three contests the final scores have been 120, 128, and 128. Ole Miss also plays zone and Kentucky struggles from the outside. I had this number at 142. The under is 4-0 in Kentucky's last 4. It is 4-0 in their last 4 SEC games. The under is 5-0 in Ole Miss' last 5 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. A 13-0 angle. Take the under.

*3 Star NCAA BB Totals TKO* The Clemson Tigers are as good of an 'under' team as you will find in college basketball. Clemson plays great defense without fouling and absolutely stalls on the offensive end. Other than McDaniels, there is really no one on this team that is a good scoring option. NC State is a good defensive team and their 56-55 loss at Syracuse last time shows they can get drug down into a slow paced game. I had this at 117. Take the under here.

*3 Star NCAA BB Total DOMINATION* The Northwestern Wildcats are great at dictating the tempo of the game. Northwestern forces the opposition into an ugly game where they aren't very many possessions. They beat Minnesota on the road 55-54 a couple weeks ago. Minnesota isn't playing very fast of late, and I expect another slowly played contest here.

The under is 4-0 in Northwestern's last 4 Sunday games. It is 8-1 in their last 9 overall. The under is 17-4 in their last 21 home games. The under is 8-1 in their last 9 league games. The under is 5-1 in their last 6 vs. a team with a winning record. The under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings between these two teams. In all, a 47-8 angle. Take the under.

*4 Star NCAA BB Play of Day* The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are resorting to Mike Brey's "burn ball" of late. Essentially, Notre Dame is just stalling on the offensive end to shorten the game. Boston College is one of the slowest paced teams in the league as well. There will be plenty of shot clocks getting down to 5 seconds or less in this one. The first meeting would have been well under if it weren't for overtime. If we can avoid overtime here, I like the under's chances of cashing in. I had this number at 135 points. I like the value here. Take the under.

*3 Star NCAA BB Totals TKO* The Niagara Purple Eagles are a terrific over team because they run and gun and don't give much effort at all on the defensive end. Niagara also fouls a bunch, and Manhattan should make a living at the line in this one. Manhattan has lots of scoring options and the Jaspers love to run as well. The first meeting between these two finished at 155 despite some ugly shooting numbers. Look for this one to go over the posted total. Take the over.

*3 Star NCAA BB Late Night Totals CASH* The San Francisco Dons aren't the same fast paced team they used to be. They lost point guard Cody Doolin earlier this year and changed the way they play. Santa Clara is playing much slower this year. The first meeting between these two finished at 141 despite good shooting numbers. This one is set a few points too high. The under is 4-0 in the Dons last 4 Saturday games. The under is 4-0 in their last 4 meetings. The under is 6-2 in Santa Clara's last 8 games following an ATS win. A 14-2 angle. Take the under.

*3 Star Play Under*

*4 Star NCAA BB Hidden GEM Total* The UC Irvine Anteaters have been a great under team this year. Why is that? UC Irvine has tons of size, including a 7'6 center. Irvine slows the game down and plays much better defense than they have played in the past. They played to 124 total points in their first game at Riverside.

The under is 5-0 in Irvine's last 5 games vs. a team with a win percentage under 40%. The under is 11-1 in their last 12 home games vs. a team with a road losing record. A 16-1 angle. Take the under.

*3 Star Play Over*

*4 Star NCAA BB 100% angle Total* The Eastern Illinois Panthers are speeding up of late, and Murray State is all about scoring in bunches. Murray State has gotten tons better over the course of the season. The Racers are a scoring machine of late. These teams scored 136 in the previous meeting despite some really ugly shooting numbers.

The over is 6-0 in Murray's last 6 home games. The over is 7-0 in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. The over is 4-0 in their last 4 following a win. the over is 6-0 in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a win percentage of 40% or less. A 23-0 angle. Take the over.

*4 Star NCAA BB Late Night BAILOUT Total* The Cal Poly Mustangs are as good as anyone in the nation at controlling the tempo of the game. Cal Poly stalls and runs the shot clock down to almost nothing every time down the court. Northridge prefers to run, but their meeting earlier this year got to just 114 points. Cal Poly can slow down this game, and I expect them to do it. The under is 6-0-1 in Cal Poly's last 7 games. The under is 4-0 in their last 4 following a SU loss. The under is 5-0 in their last 5 following an ATS loss. A 15-0 angle. Take the under.

*3 Star NCAA BB West Coast Total* These two teams met earlier this year and the game finished at 117 points. I had the under in that game and won, and I'm taking the under again in this meeting. Long Beach State is a totally different team than they were a few years ago, and it's hard for the oddsmakers to adjust this team so quickly. They are now playing more defense and running much less. UCSB plays slowly and is one of the best defenses in the conference. I like the value here. Take the under.

*3 Star NCAA BB Big Sky Total* The Southern Utah Thunderbirds are an awful team, and the way they have decided to stay in games this year is stall and attempt to keep it low scoring. They kept the game to just 124 points in their first meeting with Weber State despite Weber shooting an eye-popping 43 free throws. Look for a slow paced game here. I had this one at 123 points. Take the under here.

*3 Star NCAA BB Total VALUE* The Texas San Antonio Roadrunners are horrible defensively, but they have been putting up some high point totals on their home floor. They have been having games sail over the 150 and even 160 point marks. UTSA's defense is so bad that FIU should put up much higher than their season average for points. I had this game set at 148 points. UTSA has been a good over team at home this year. Take the over.

*4 Star NCAA BB Hidden GEM Total* The North Dakota State Bison and Western Illinois Leathernecks meet in a game that is always a grind it out defensive battle. It probably wouldn't be any fun to watch, but that doesn't mean we can't make money betting on this game. The two games last year finished both below 100 points. The first meeting this year finished at 115 despite pretty good shooting numbers.

The under is 4-0 in ND St's last 4. The under is 4-0 in their last 4 vs. a team with a losing record. The under is 4-0 in their last 4 league games. The under is 5-0 in W. Illinois' last 5 games vs. a team with a winning record. The under is 4-0 in their last 4 home games after three or more consecutive road games. The under is 5-0 in their last 5 meetings. The under is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings at Western Illinois. A huge 31-0 angle. Take the under.

*4 Star NCAA BB Total DOMINATION* The UIC Flames have a really bad defense. Cleveland State is lighting up the Horizon League this year with their amazing offense. They are shooting 42% from beyond the arc and they are very efficient on offense. UIC gave up 74 points at home against Cleveland State. The Vikings could easily get 80 in this one. The over is 5-1 in the Flames last 6 road games. The over is 4-0 in the Vikings last 4 following a win. The over is 4-0 in their last 4 league games. The over is 4-0 in their last 4 vs. a team with a win percentage below 40%. The over is 4-0 in their last 4 following an ATS win. A 21-1 angle. Take the over.

*4 Star NCAA BB Totals TKO* The Youngstown State Penguins are very good at getting their wish of playing uptempo games. The first game between these two played to a 154 final. I think something very similar here is likely. Green Bay is coming off a very poor performance, but I expect a bounceback from them here. Both offenses are very efficient. I had this total at 153. Take the over in this one.

*4 Star NCAA BB Under Radar Total* UNC Asheville consistently plays games that finish way over this posted total. Radford and Asheville both get to the line a bunch, so that should help a lot here. This is a very under the radar game between two teams that rarely have their games lined, which gives us even more value on this total. I had this at 152. Take advantage of this opportunity. Take the over.

*4 Star NCAA BB Big 10 Total* The Northwestern Wildcats and Michigan State Spartans played to a 54-40 game at Evanston earlier this year. Keith Appling played in that game, and he is the guy that pushes the tempo for Michigan State. Appling is hurt now, and it's hard to imagine the Spartans getting a running game going here. This game should be ugly with a bunch of tough shots and solid defense. I had this at 116 points. Take the under.

*3 Star NCAA BB Totals TKO* The New Mexico Lobos and Boise State Broncos got together in a 84-75 game earlier this year. New Mexico won that game at home. New Mexico's offense is great at getting to the line, and Boise State's defense fouls a lot and struggles to stop anyone. Boise State can put up points on their home floor, and I expect a much better effort out of Boise State because of their recent poor play. Take the over here.

*4 Star NCAA BB 100% Angle Total* The Tennessee-Martin Skyhawks are just a terrible basketball team. Still, they like to run and gun whenever possible. This generally means that the opposition puts up some incredibly high point totals against them. SE Missouri State is the fastest paced team in the OVC, and they have scored over 100 points multiple times this year. It wouldn't surprise me to see 175 points or more here.

The over is 6-0-1 in Martin's last 7. The over is 5-0 in their last 5 after a loss. It is 6-0-1 in their last 7 conference games. It is 4-0 in their last 4 following an ATS loss. It is 3-0-1 in their last 4 vs. a team with a home win percentage of 60% or higher. It is 3-0-1 in their last 4 vs. a team with a winning record. The over is 4-0-1 in their last 5 road games. A 31-0 angle. Take the over.

*5 Star NCAA BB TOP Total* The Syracuse Orange and Pitt Panthers play some very tough and physical games against each other. Neither of these teams are willing to give up buckets near the hoop, and the first meeting between these two finished at 59-54. Both teams try to slow the game down, so no one will be pushing the tempo here. Syracuse is playing at just 55 possessions per game in the conference, and Pitt is typically one of the slowest teams in the country.

The under is 4-0 in Pitt's last 4 Wednesday games. The under is 4-0 in their last 4 following an ATS loss. The under is 4-0 in Syracuse's last 4 after allowing 50 points or less last game. The under is 7-1 in Syracuse's last 8 games vs. a team with a win percentage of at least 60%. A 19-1 angle. Take the under.

*3 Star NCAA BB Total DOMINATION* The San Diego State Aztecs have the best defense in the Mountain West Conference. Steve Fisher's team can lock it up about as good as anyone in the country. Wyoming plays terrific defense as well and they are excellent at slowing the tempo of the game. The Cowboys played to a 48-46 final against a UNLV team that likes to run this past Saturday night. Last year's meeting between these two teams in Wyoming finished at 58-45. Wyoming led 20-9 at halftime. Look for some ugly shooting numbers and a slow pace here. The under is 6-1 in SD State's last 7 Mountain West games. Take the under.

*5 Star NCAA BB TOP Play Total* The Syracuse Orange and Clemson Tigers have a lot in common this year. They both slow the game down to a snail's pace. They are both excellent on the defensive end. Syracuse is clearly the better team overall, and they should win the game. I believe this game will be played to a total of somewhere around 52 or 53 possessions, which is brutally slow. This total is set low, but I don't think it's low enough. I had this line at 107 points. The under is 8-2 in Syracuse's last 10 games. The under is 5-1 in their last 6 home games. The Carrier Dome is tough on visiting shooters because of the backdrop. I think this is a very slow paced game where both defenses excel. Take the under big!

*3 Star NCAA BB Late Night Totals CASH* The UCLA Bruins and USC Trojans put up 180 points earlier this year when they met. USC plays very little defense and they like to run. UCLA is the fastest paced team in the Pac-12. The Bruins offense should have a bunch of success again, but look for USC's offense to be better since they are at home. I had this one at 153 points. Take the over in this contest.

*4 Star Play on Under* The Northern Colorado Bears took it to Weber State at home earlier this year, but now Weber gets to try to exact some revenge. Weber State is the best defensive team in the conference, and the first game between these two was played to pace of just 55 possessions. I had this number at 136. Take the under here.

*5 Star NCAA BB Hidden GEM TOP Total* The Montana Grizzlies are great at controlling the tempo of the game, especially on their home floor. Eastern Washington likes to play fast, but Eastern Washington was slowed down on their home court by Montana earlier this year. The final there was 69-62. It wouldn't surprise me to see this game finish well below the posted total. My number here was 143 points. I would play this one down to 147. Take the under big!

*3 Star Play Under* Southern Utah lost 70-36 the first time these teams played. Southern Utah hasn't had many games at all above this total, because they play so slow and their offense is dead last in efficiency in the nation. Look for a slow game here and Northern Arizona's defense will look good. I had this at 127 points. Take the under.

*4 Star NCAA BB Under Radar Total* The Washington State Cougars and Utah Utes met earlier this year. The final score in that game was 49-46. While I don't expect a game that low scoring, I do believe this total is set too high. Washington State has a bad team and they are stalling to try to stay in the game of late. Utah plays good defense and slows it down as well. I had this game lined at 120 points. Take the under here.

*4 Star Missouri Valley Total* The Missouri State Bears and Southern Illinois Salukis played earlier this year. That game finished with a 69-63 score despite some extremely high shooting percentages from both teams. The tempo was very slow there, and both of these teams have been playing slow of late. I lined this game at 134 points. The under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these two. Take the under.

*4 Star NCAA BB Totals TKO* The Pacific Tigers and Loyola Marymount Lions met a few weeks ago. I had the over in that game and won thanks to a 92-81 final score. I'm taking the over again in this one. Neither team plays defense here and there will be a ton of trips to the charity stripe. I had this lined at 159 points. Take the over in this one.

*3 Star Play Over* The West Virginia Mountaineers and Kansas Jayhawks are both playing much faster of late. Kansas has the best shooting percentage of any team in the country. I made the line here 154 points. The over is 7-0 in Kansas' last 7 Saturday games. The over is 4-0 in their last 4 home games. The over is 6-1 in West Virginia's last 7. Take the over.

*4 Star NCAA BB Big 12 Total* The TCU Horned Frogs aren't a good team, and they won't be able to slow down the Iowa State Cyclones. Iowa State is playing faster than anyone else in the Big 12. Iowa State should hang at least 85 points in this one, and I think TCU can get to 55 or more. The over is 20-5-1 in Iowa State's last 26 home games. Take the over.

*4 Star Play Over* Some strange line movement in this game. Toledo makes every game high scoring because of their awesome offense and awful defense. Ball State will get behind and need to push to come back. I would play this one up to 151 but no higher. Take the over.

*4 Star Play on Over* The Rider Broncs and Quinnipiac Bobcats met earlier this year and played to a 90-78 final score. There were a bunch of FT's in that one, so I expect a few less points here. Still, I made this total 157 points. Take the over in this one.

*4 Star Play on Over* George Mason has started running when they have chances this year. They'll have plenty of chances against a Duquesne team that runs constantly. The Dukes allow opponents to shoot 43% from long range and George Mason has some very good shooters. I made this line 152 points. Take the over.

*5 Star NCAA BB TOP Play Total DOMINATOR* The Wisconsin Milwaukee Panthers are the fastest paced team in the Horizon League so far this year. Wisconsin-Green Bay was typically a slow it down type of team, but this year they have sped up in a big way as well. The first meeting between these two was in the 160's at the end of regulation. I had the over in that one, and I'm taking the over again here. I made this line 148 points. Take the over big!

*4 Star Play Under*

*4 Star NCAA BB Late Night BAILOUT* The Santa Clara Broncos were beaten 91-81 at home earlier this year by BYU. BYU averages 87.3 points per game so far this year. The Cougars are the fastest paced team in the WCC, and when they are at home they are a real offensive juggernaut. Santa Clara is going to have to come from behind and score some points to stay in the game. BYU should get this game off and running. Expect a lot of shots from both teams. I had this at 158 points. Take the over.

*5 Star NCAA BB TOP Play Total* The Long Beach State 49ers and UC Irvine Anteaters played a game earlier this year. The final score was 46-44. I had the under in that game, and I'm picking the under again here. UC Irvine has a ton of size down low that bothers Long Beach on offense. Both of these teams have slowed their tempo down in a big way from last year to this year. Defense should rule in this one. I had this lined at 125 points. The under is 10-1 in Irvine's last 11 home games vs. a team with a road win percentage of 40% or lower. The under is 10-1 in Irvine's last 11 games following an ATS win. A 20-2 angle. Take the under big!

*3 Star NCAA BB 100% Angle Total* The Pacific Tigers are really good at turning a game into a high scoring affair. Pacific shoots it well from long range, and their defense is terrible. The Tigers also foul a bunch, so Pepperdine should be at the line frequently here. These two played to a 76-66 game earlier this year. The shooting numbers weren't impressive and they only shot a combined 36 FT's in that game. The over is 5-0 in Pacific's last 5 following an ATS win. It is 4-0 in their last 4 road games. It is 4-0 in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a home win percentage of 60% or higher. The over is 4-0 in their last 4 vs. a team with a winning home record. The over is 4-0 in their last 4 following a win. A 21-0 angle. Take the over.

*4 Star NCAA BB Hidden GEM Total* It's very tough to slow down this Louisiana Tech team, especially on their home floor. LA Tech is piling up the points this year. Leading scorer Appleby is out with an injury now, but this offense hasn't slowed down a bit. Tulsa's defense isn't up to par, and this game should be played at a ridiculously fast pace. I had this one projected at 153. The over is 6-0 in LA Tech's last 6 home games vs. a team with a road win percentage of 40% or lower. The over is 10-1 in Tulsa's last 11 road games following 3 or more consecutive home games. A 16-1 angle. Take the over.

*4 Star NCAA BB Totals Takedown* The Texas State Bobcats are great at slowing a game down, and LA Monroe isn't about to battle them to speed the game up. These teams played earlier this year and the final was 61-36 Texas State. That game was played at LA Monroe. Texas State should hold Monroe to a very low number again here. I had this line projected at 117 points. Very ugly game here. Take the under.

*3 Star NCAA BB Totals TKO* The Georgia State Panthers are one of the best mid-major teams in the country. With RJ Hunter and Ryan Harrow this team has two elite guards. Hunter is an exceptional outside shooter, and Harrow excels in getting him open shots and getting to the basket. Georgia State won 99-73 earlier this year when these teams met. Little Rock loves to push the tempo and that should push this one over the total. I had this at 152 points. Take the over.

*4 Star NCAA BB Total PERFECTION* The Eastern Illinois Panthers lost 82-75 at Tennessee-Martin in their first meeting this year. Eastern Illinois should be able to get revenge against the OVC's worst defense here. Martin allows opponents to shoot almost 60% on two-point field goals. How bad is that? It's dead last in all of Division I basketball (351 teams). The over is 4-0 in E. Illinois' last 4 Thursday games. It is 4-0 in their last 4 following a win. The over is 4-0-1 in Martin's last 5 games. The over is 4-0-1 in their last 5 vs. a team with a win percentage of 40% or lower. The over is 4-0-1 in their last 5 OVC games. A 20-0 angle. Take the over.

*3 Star NCAA BB Total Value* UTSA is so bad defensively and they do such a great job getting to the line that the Roadrunners have some very high scoring games against almost everyone. Old Dominion is a decent offense and they should dominate the glass. The Monarchs are 22-10 to the over at home in their last 32 games. The Roadrunners will push the tempo plenty here. I have this game at 144 points. Take the over.

*4 Star NCAA BB UConn/Cincy Total* The Connecticut Huskies and Cincinnati Bearcats will sqaure off in a big conference game tonight. Cincinnati is now a top 10 team, and UConn is in the top 25. The Huskies have played some very low scoring games against top teams, and Cincinnati has been a brilliant under play for a long time. Cincinnati's aggressive in your face defense is really tough to get into a flow against. The under is 43-12 in Cincinnati's last 55 games overall. Take the under here.

*4 Star NCAA BB Total DOMINATION* The Auburn Tigers and South Carolina Gamecocks are similar teams. They both like to push the tempo and get to the basket. Both teams are good at getting to the line. Both of these defenses rank at the top of the SEC in fouling. This game should have a bunch of trips to the foul line for both teams. I had this one at 152 points.

The over is 6-0 in Auburn's last 6 Wednesday games. The over is 5-0 in South Carolina's last 5 games following a loss. The over is 3-0-1 in their last 4 Wednesday games. The over is 6-1 in Auburn's last 7 road games. A 20-1 angle. Take the over.

*3 Star NCAA BB Total VALUE* The Delaware Blue Hens are the best team in the CAA this year, but they aren't as good as they were a couple weeks ago. Their point guard Jarvis Threatt is suspended and out of the lineup for off the court problems. He was the guy who made the engine run, and I expect Delaware's offense to slow down a bit without him. College of Charleston is a team that relies heavily on their defense and slowing the game down. They should be able to slow this game down more now that Threatt is out of the lineup. I like the value here. Take the under.

*4 Star NCAA BB Totals TKO* The Kent State Golden Flashes have had some trouble scoring against quality defenses. Lucky for them, they'll go up against the worst defense in the MAC tonight. Central Michigan gives up a boatload of points against everyone they play. Both of these teams like to score in transition when they can, so I expect to see an uptempo game here. My numbers had this game at 145 points. Take the over here.

*4 Star NCAA BB Totals Takedown* The Oklahoma Sooners are great at speeding up the game. Lon Kruger has his team running and gunning and playing very well this year. The Sooners should be the ones that set the pace here, because West Virginia has become a team that plays to the pace their opponent sets. Both teams are good at getting to the charity stripe as well. My numbers had this one at 163 points. Take the over in this contest.

*4 Star NCAA BB ACC Total* The Miami Hurricanes are playing at the slowest tempo of any team in the nation so far this season. Jim Larranaga's team is very good on the defensive end. It's also important to note that they are good at defending without fouling (which is very important especially with the new rules in college basketball this year). Pittsburgh is always a grind it out type of team that plays good defense. Open shots will be very tough to come by in this one. I had this game at 114 points. Take the under.

*3 Star NCAA BB Total DOMINATION* The Butler Bulldogs and Marquette Golden Eagles got together a few weeks ago, and the game was about as ugly as you'll see. The total finished at 126 after an overtime. At the end of regulation, the score was 49-49. Marquette's zone was tough for Butler to handle. Butler slows the game down a lot this year, but their offense is so inefficient because they rely too heavily on one guy (Dunham). The under is 4-0 in their last 4 Big East games. The under is 4-0 in their last 4 overall. The under is 7-1 in their last 8 following an ATS win. A 15-1 angle here. Take the under.

*4 Star NCAA BB Total Value* The Clemson Tigers may be as good as anyone in college basketball at keeping a game low scoring. Clemson plays excellent defense (top 5 in the country), and they definitely play slowly. This is a team that doesn't foul on defense, and they use up the shot clock on offense. Georgia Tech plays to the pace of their opponent far more than the average team. The Yellow Jackets offense isn't efficient enough to turn this into a high scoring contest. I had 115 points in this one. Take the under.

*4 Star NCAA BB Totals TKO* The Rutgers Scarlet Knights have really picked up their pace of late. Rutgers has been speeding up inside the conference, which is the opposite of what most teams do. Eddie Jordan wants this team to use their athleticism to score before the opponents defense is set. Memphis is all about running when they can. The Tigers will force a lot of turnovers here and get quick transition buckets. Both teams are pretty good at getting to the line, so I expect plenty of trips to the charity stripe. I had this one at 154. Take the over.

*3 Star NCAA BB Total DOMINATION* The Iowa State Cyclones and Oklahoma State Cowboys are all about getting out in transition and scoring early. Both of these teams are playing much faster than they did last year, and in last year's meetings the total finished at 154 and 163. I think this game gets into the 160's. No shortage of scoring options for either team in this one.

The over is 4-0 in OK State's last 4 Big 12 games. The over is 4-0 in their last 4 overall. The over is 6-1 in their last 7 vs. a team with a win percentage above 60%. A 14-1 angle. Take the over.

*3 Star NCAA BB Under Radar Total* These two teams met a few weeks ago and the final was 80-71. Hampton hit only 33% of their two point shots in that game. They aren't a great shooting team, but they should hit more than 33% from two point land tonight. Hampton is great at forcing the tempo, as they play faster than any other team in the conference. Morgan State generally runs when they have chances, and they'll have plenty of them tonight. I had this one at 143. Take the over.

*4 Star NCAA BB 100% Angle Total* The Syracuse Orange are coming off an amazing win over Duke on Saturday night in the Carrier Dome. Syracuse is bound to be a little sluggish tonight, and this Syracuse team is playing slower than any Syracuse team in the past five years. This team packs in the zone and makes it really difficult for the opposition to do anything. Notre Dame is known for their burn clock style that they often use against good teams, and they'll be doing that here. Plenty of running the shot clock here.

The under is 5-0 in Notre Dame's last 5 Monday games. The under is 4-0 in their last 4 vs. a team with a winning record. The under is 4-0 in Syracuse's last 4 vs. a team with a winning record. The under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between these two. A 17-0 angle. Take the under.

*3 Star NCAA BB Total DOMINATION* The Oakland Golden Grizzlies have been a very fast paced team in the past. Early this year, they experimented with slowing down the pace when they were short-handed. That experiment is over. Oakland has been flying up and down the court in their last few games. The total in their last four games has finished at 162, 152, 151, and 171. Wisconsin-Milwaukee likes to push the tempo when they can, and Oakland's defense is the worst in the league. Milwaukee put up 84 points on Oakland on the road earlier this year. That game finished at 159. The over is 5-0 in Oakland's last 5 following a win. Take the over.

*4 Star NCAA BB Hidden GEM Total* The UC Irvine Anteaters are a much improved team this year. They have a 7'2 center and a 7'6 center on the roster. Because of their size, Irvine is slowing the game down drastically this year compared to the past. Cal Poly has always been a slow it down type of team. I see a very slow grind it out type of game here. I had this at 118 points. The under is 4-0-1 in Cal Poly's last 5. The under is 4-0-1 in their last 5 conference games. The under is 7-1 in Irvine's last 8 Saturday games. A 15-1 angle. Take the under.

*5 Star NCAA BB Late Night TOP Play DOMINATOR* The Gonzaga Bulldogs and San Francisco Dons played to an abnormally low total earlier this year. Gonzaga won 69-41. San Francisco made 23% of their two point shots in that game and made just 40% from the free throw line. Safe to say I'm assuming they'll shoot much better at home, where they generally shoot very well. Gonzaga has outside shooter Gary Bell Jr. back from an injury now and their offense is more prolific. I made this total 144 points. Take the over big!

*3 Star NCAA BB SEC Total* These are two teams that are much better on the defensive end than they are offensively. The tempo here should be slow as well since both of these teams love to use up the shot clock and control the tempo. I had this line at 126 points. Look for a defensive battle that goes down to the wire. Take the under here.

*3 Star NCAA BB Totals TKO* I had 120 points on this game. Texas State plays slower than anyone else in the conference and Western Kentucky's offense has been very inefficient of late. Take the under.

*4 Star NCAA BB Total Value* The Cornell Big Red are one of the worst teams in college basketball this year. They haven't beaten a Division I team all season long. Cornell plays pretty fast, and they play no defense. Brown likes to play quickly as well, and they should put up a ton of points here. I had this lined at 152 points. Take the over in this contest.

*3 Star NCAA BB 100% Angle Total* The Columbia Lions slow the tempo down and play defense as well as anyone in the Ivy League. Yale is a team that typically plays to the pace of their opponent. Columbia's defense should make life difficult on Yale's shooters in this game. The last meeting between these two last season finished at 105 points. I had this one projected at 124.

The under is 5-0 in Columbia's last 5 road games. It is 5-0 in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. It is 8-0 in their last 8 Friday games. The under is 5-0 in their last 5 vs. a team with a home win percentage of 60% or higher. A 23-0 angle. Take the under.
