Sunday's Best NCAAB Bets
By Covers.com
Georgetown Hoyas at St. John's Red Storm (5.5, 130.5)
Georgetown started off the season 13-1, but the opening-season surge has come to an abrupt halt. The Hoyas have dropped two in a row, both against Big East foes; 74-62 at West Virginia and 68-64 at home to Cincinnati.
Turnovers were a big issue against the Bearcats, as Georgetown coughed up the rock 17 times.
Taking care of the basketball will be a big focus for the Hoyas against St. John's. But they also will have to concern themselves with a host of talented Red Storm freshmen.
Moe Harkless, a 6'8'' forward, is averaging 15.4 points per game and 8.4 rebounds. He looks like a serious contender for Big East Freshman of the Year. D'Angelo Harrison is contributing 15.6 ppg and 4.1 rebounds per contest. Sir'Dominic Pointer (6.7 ppg, 4.8 rpg) and Phil Greene (6.1 ppg) are also playing significant minutes in their first year at St. John's.
The Red Storm got blown out at Marquette earlier this week, but they have won three of their last four at home--including most recently against Cincinnati. Harkless scored at the buzzer to beat the Bearcats by two last Saturday.
Pick: St. John's
Duke Blue Devils at Clemson Tigers (7, 134.5)
Duke seems to feature a similar offense almost every year; little low-post scoring, but plenty of outside shooting.
This season's squad is no different. The Blue Devils have drained 126 treys in 16 games and they are making more than 40 percent of their shots from beyond the arc.
Austin Rivers, Seth Curry, Ryan Kelly, and Andre Dawkins have all connected on at least 20 three-pointers. Kelly is shooting 47 percent from long range, Curry 41 percent, Rivers 39 percent, and Dawkins 38 percent.
The Blue Devils are coming off a way-too-close 61-58 home win over Virginia on Thursday. However, the Cavaliers are one of the best teams in the nation at defending the perimeter (first in the ACC in scoring defense, third in defending the three-pointer). Clemson, on the other hand, is currently 10th in the ACC in three-point defense.
Pick: Duke
Game of the day: Indiana at Ohio State
By Covers.com
Indiana Hoosiers at Ohio State Buckeyes (-12.5, 142.5)
THE STORY: Revenge is the theme of this Big Ten Sunday showdown. On New Year’s Eve, the Hoosiers shocked the No. 2 Buckeyes 74-70 in Assembly Hall, claiming their place in the conference title race.
Indiana freshman star Cody Zeller was remarkable on both ends of the floor in that game, scoring 14 points and giving Ohio State standout center Jared Sullinger a hard time. The Buckeyes sophomore star got into early foul trouble, throwing a wrench in the Buckeyes’ offensive game plan.
Now, with Indiana ranked No. 8 in the polls and Ohio State coming in at No. 5, the Buckeyes have a hostile home court waiting for the Hoosiers.
Indiana’s recent win over Ohio State snapped a six-game losing streak to the Buckeyes. The Hoosiers lead the all-time series 100-74.
ABOUT INDIANA (15-2, 3-2 Big Ten, 8-4 ATS): The Hoosiers got caught looking ahead to this rematch, dropping a 77-74 loss to Minnesota Thursday. Head coach Tom Crean is aware his team could quickly start sliding if it doesn't pick up the pieces in time for Sunday’s contest. Crean knows Indiana doesn’t match up on paper against the top teams in the Big Ten, so he demands more effort from his players to make up for it. He voiced extra effort in talks with reporters this week, hoping to light a fire under scorers like Christian Watford, who is averaging almost 13 points a game but only mustered four in the loss to Minnesota.
ABOUT OHIO STATE (15-3, 3-2 Big Ten, 7-6 ATS): Not only are the Buckeyes fueled with revenge for Sunday’s game, but they're also in a bad mood after falling to Illinois on the road this week. Head coach Thad Matta told reporters that his team must get tougher down the stretch if it wants to win the close games. The Buckeyes’ two conference losses have come by a combined difference of nine points. Ohio State stumbled in the closing minutes versus the Illini, shooting 3 for 11 and coughing the ball up three times in the final 5:39 of the game.
TRENDS:
* Favorite is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings.
* Over is 6-2 in the last eight meetings.
* Hoosiers are 1-7 ATS in the last eight meetings.
TIP-INS:
1. While they trail the all-time series, the Buckeyes own a 50-34 edge against the Hoosiers in Columbus.
2. Sunday’s game is Indiana’s first all Top-10 matchup since the No. 10 Hoosiers faced the No. 9 Maryland Terrapins in December, 2002.
3. Indiana is the top 3-point shooting team in the country, hitting 45.9 percent of its shots from beyond the arc. The Hoosiers were 5 for 13 from 3-point range versus the Buckeyes on Dec. 31.
