Friday's Best NCAAB Bets
By Covers.com
Ohio Bobcats at Louisville Cardinals (-16, N/A)
Nobody ever said playing for Rick Pitino was easy. He demands a lot out of his players with the systems he installs, but when everybody can get on the same page, Louisville can be tough to beat.
So far it looks as though he has a bunch of quick learners on this season’s squad.
“Our communication verbally, our switching, we’re doing some awesome things that none of my teams have been able to master at this early time,” Pitino told reporters after Louisville drilled Arkansas St 54-27 as a 22-point favorite.
The blowout moved Louisville to 4-0 straight up and 3-0 against the spread on the year and the Cardinals are giving up just 44 points per game.
The under is also 19-6-1 in Louisville’s last 26 home games.
Pick: Cardinals
Georgia Bulldogs at Xavier Musketeers (-10, N/A)
After last season, Georgia coach Mark Ford expected to have at least one of his top two prospects back for this year. That didn’t happen as both Trey Thompkins and Travis Leslie declared for the NBA.
Now the Bulldogs are learning on the fly through a tough early schedule with a young roster. They’ve been predictably up-and-down so far, but improved to 4-1 straight up and 2-2 against the spread with an upset win over Notre Dame Tuesday.
“This schedule is challenging and for a young team, it’s extra challenging,” Fox told reporters after the game. “You gotta learn how to beat good teams and you don’t learn how to beat good teams by just playing bad ones. So we’re gonna have to grow up on the job. We’re gonna have a lot of teachable moments like we had against Cal and Notre Dame. There is just so much for this group to experience.”
We like what Georgia showed against the Irish. If they can get a similar effort Friday, they'll be in this game.
Pick: Georgia

NIT Season Tip-Off action: What Bettors Need to Know
Covers.com
Stanford Cardinal vs. Syracuse Orange (-9, 136)
THE STORY: Fifth-ranked Syracuse meets Stanford in the championship game of the NIT Season Tip-Off at Madison Square Garden. The Orange beat Virginia Tech 69-58 in the semifinals, while the Cardinal knocked off Oklahoma State 82-67. Stanford is looking for its first fall tournament crown in four years, while Syracuse is off to its eighth consecutive 5-0 start. The Orange have played 131 games at Madison Square Garden under Jim Boeheim (68-43 record), so they’ll have a huge home-court advantage. These two teams have never met.
ABOUT STANFORD (5-0): The Cardinal led 46-35 at the half against Oklahoma State on Wednesday, and then used a 12-0 run to break the game open at the start of the second. Senior forward Josh Owens scored 21 points on 10-of-12 field goals to lead Stanford, which made a season-best 9 of 19 from behind the arc. Owens and sophomore guard Aaron Bright both average a team-high 14 points, and freshman guard Chasson Randle is the only other player in double figures with 10.4 points per game.
ABOUT SYRACUSE (5-0): The Orange, who have won their first five games by an average of 28.2 points, boast one of the deepest rotations in the nation. Nineteen different players have appeared in games so far, and 10 of those are averaging at least 12 minutes. Senior forward Kris Joseph leads the way with 14.8 points per game, but Dion Waiters and James Southerland also contribute off the bench. Waiters, a sophomore guard, averages 13.2 points and Southerland, a junior forward, scores 11.
TRENDS:
* Cardinal are 1-5 ATS in their last six neutral-site games.
* Orange are 6-0 ATS in their last six non-conference games.
* Over is 4-0 in Cardinal's last four vs. Big East.
* Over is 5-2 in Orange's last seven non-conference games.
TIP-INS:
1. This is the second of at least four games the Orange will play in Madison Square Garden this season. They face St. John’s later and then conclude the season there in the Big East Tournament.
2. Stanford is 12-26 all-time against teams from the Big East.
3. This is the Cardinal’s fourth appearance in the preseason NIT, and they’ve been runner-up the last two times (2002 and 1998).
Virginia Tech Hokies vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys (N/A)
THE STORY: In the consolation game of the NIT Season Tip-Off at Madison Square Garden, Virginia Tech meets Oklahoma State after both teams were dealt their first loss of the season Wednesday night. The Hokies lost 69-58 to No. 5 Syracuse, while the Cowboys had an 82-67 setback against Stanford. It’s a bit of a quirky matchup, because these two teams will meet again on New Year’s Eve at Oklahoma State’s Gallagher-Iba Arena. Virginia Tech beat the Cowboys in their first-ever meeting last year in Anaheim.
ABOUT VIRGINIA TECH (3-1): The Hokies opened the year with home victories over East Tennessee State, Monmouth and Florida International before losing to Syracuse. The Hokies led by two at the break against the Orange but ended up getting worn down in the second half. Dorenzo Hudson leads the team with 17.8 points per game, including 31in the win over Florida International, but the senior guard scored only 13 on 3-of-7 shooting against Syracuse.
ABOUT OKLAHOMA STATE (3-1): The Cowboys started the season with home wins against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Texas-San Antonio before the loss to Stanford. Before that game, Oklahoma State had won four games in a row at Madison Square Garden, but the Cardinal led 46-35 at the break and opened the second half on a12-0 run. Freshman Le’Bryan Nash was one of the most hyped recruits in recent memory for the Cowboys, and he’s averaging 13 points, but another freshman leads the team scoring. Point guard Cezar Guerrero is scoring 14 points per game off the bench.
TRENDS:
* Oklahoma State is 6-13 against the spread in its last 19 overall.
* Virginia Tech is 1-4 against the number in its last five neutral site games.
* The under is 8-2 in Oklahoma State's last 10.
TIP-INS:
1. Oklahoma State’s Jean-Paul Olukemi is coming off a zero-point, four-foul performance.
2. Olukemi scored 22 against Virginia Tech in a 56-51 loss last season.
3. Virginia Tech’s J.T. Thompson and Marquis Rankin are both out with knee injuries. Thompson is out for the season, but Rankin is expected to return within the next few weeks.
