Thursday's Best NCAAB Bets
By Covers.com
North Carolina Tar Heels at Virginia Tech Hokies (6, 143)
The Virginia Tech Hokies are finding out how quickly things can change in the world of college basketball. Despite an inexperienced roster, the Hokies looked pretty good before conference play began.
Since then, not so much. They dropped their third game in a row both straight up and against the spread Saturday at Boston College, falling 61-59 as 10-point favorites.
“The one thing I wasn’t fooling myself – I know how green we are,” coach Seth Greenberg told reporters. “Was it fool’s gold? Winning at Oklahoma State [on Dec. 31] is hard, that’s a hard place to win. Playing Syracuse the way we played them, that showed promise. But it’s a long season and these young guys having to be ready to play every night is a new experience."
They're in for a brand new experience Thursday against a North Carolina club that's coming off a disgusting 33-point loss at Florida State.
Fearing a stampede from the Seminoles fans, Tar Heels coach Roy Williams pulled his starters off the floor with 14 seconds remaining. Center Tyler Zeller called it the "most embarrassing thing I've ever done in my life."
The Heels have hit just 11 of their 51 trey attempts so far in league play, but you know that slump won't last with their snipers.
Pick: Tar Heels
Illinois Fighting Illini at Penn State Nittany Lions (4, 123)
The Fighting Illini have had more than a week to come down from the high of upsetting Ohio State on Jan. 10.
Illinois shocked the No. 5 Buckeyes thanks to a historic game from shooting guard Brandon Paul. The junior put on one of the greatest performances of the college basketball season, scoring 43 points to tie the third-highest, single-game point total in school history.
Paul and Illinois collide with another Big Ten star when they visit Penn State and its dynamic scorer Tim Frazier. The junior has been red-hot in his last three games with 71 points.
However, that wasn’t enough for the Nittany Lions, who lost all three outings and head into Thursday with one win in conference play.
Pick: Over
Thursday's Road Traps
By Brian Edwards
VegasInsider.com
Several squads are facing road traps in conference play Thursday night in college hoops. Let’s start in State College where Penn State (9-10 straight up, 5-9 against the spread) will take on Illinois.
PSU has lost three in a row and five of its last six under first-year head coach Patrick Chambers. In addition, the Nittany Lions are mired in a 2-7 ATS slide. However, we should note that they are 2-1 ATS as home underdogs, including a 65-45 win over Purdue.
PSU is coming off of Sunday’s 80-66 home loss to Minnesota as a three-point ‘dog. Junior point guard Tim Frazier produced 20 points, five assists and four steals in the losing effort. Frazier leads the Lions in every significant category except for blocked shots. He’s averaging 18.2 points, 6.6 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 2.5 steals per game.
PSU is 7-4 SU and 3-3 ATS at home this year.
Illinois (15-3 SU, 8-8 ATS) has won three consecutive games, including last Tuesday’s stunning 79-74 win over Ohio St. as an 8½-point home underdog. The Illini handed the Buckeyes their first loss of the year thanks to a sensational performance by Brandon Paul, who finished with a career-high 43 points, eight rebounds and four blocked shots. Paul made 11-of-15 attempts from the field and buried 8-of-10 from 3-point land.
The win over OSU leaves Bruce Weber’s team in what most would usually describe as the vintage letdown situation. But the eight-day stretch between games gives gamblers at least one reason to think Illinois can overcome a spot that otherwise has ‘flat’ written all over it.
The Illini has struggled against PSU in recent years. In fact, the Lions own an 8-2 spread record in the last 10 head-to-head meetings.
Totals have been an overall wash for Penn St. (7-7), but the ‘over’ is hitting at a lucrative 5-1 clip in its home games. Totals have also been an overall wash for Illinois (8-8), but the ‘over’ is 4-2 in its last six contests.
BetOnline opened Illinois as a 3½-point favorite with a total of 125½.
Tip-off is scheduled for 9:00 p.m. Eastern on ESPN2.
Next, let’s go to the ACC. North Carolina (15-3 SU, 9-8 ATS) is in bounce-back mode when it travels to Blacksburg to face Va. Tech. The Tar Heels are off one of the worst outings of Roy Williams’s tenure, as they got run out of Tallahassee in a 90-57 pimpslap at FSU this past Saturday afternoon.
UNC was awful in every area against the Seminoles. The Tar Heels committed 22 turnovers, were out-rebounded by eight and were an atrocious 9-of-20 from the free-throw line. Harrison Barnes scored a team-high 15 points in defeat, while Tyler Zeller finished with 14 points, 14 rebounds and four blocked shots.
Va. Tech (11-6 SU, 5-7-1 ATS) has won eight of its 10 home games, going 3-3 versus the number. The Hokies have lost three in a row both SU and ATS since starting ACC play. They dropped a 61-59 decision Saturday at Boston College as 10-point road ‘chalk.’
In fairness to Seth Greenberg’s squad, its best player didn’t play against BC due to a knee injury. However, Erick Green, who averages 16.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, will play Thursday vs. the Tar Heels.
Va. Tech owns a 7-2 spread record in its last nine games against UNC. The Hokies won a 74-70 decision as 3½-point home favorites when the Heels came to Blacksburg two seasons ago.
The ‘under’ is 9-4 overall for the Hokies, cashing in four straight, but totals have been a wash (3-3) in their six home games with a total. The ‘under’ is 9-8 overall for UNC, but the ‘over’ is 2-1 in its road assignments.
BetOnline opened North Carolina as a seven-point favorite with a total of 141. ESPN will have the telecast at 9:00 p.m. Eastern.
Another potential ACC road trap will be in play when Virginia (14-2 SU, 8-3 ATS) ventures to Atlanta to take on an improving Ga. Tech team. BetOnline opened the Cavaliers as four-point favorites with a total of 115. The total was quickly adjusted to 111.
UVA saw its 12-game winning streak snapped in Thursday’s 61-58 loss at Duke as a 10½-point underdog. Mike Scott scored 23 points and pulled down nine rebounds at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Scott has played like an All-ACC first-teamer this season, averaging 16.9 points and 8.9 rebounds per contest. Joe Harris is the Cavs’ second-leading scorer, dropping in 12.4 PPG.
Ga. Tech is in its first year under new head coach Brian Gregory, who came from Dayton to replace Paul Hewitt after an inconsistent tenure that brought the Yellow Jackets an appearance in the national-title game but was mostly spent in the NIT (if that).
Ga. Tech (8-9 SU, 5-7 ATS) has taken its lumps to date, getting blown out by Alabama and Northwestern while also losing to the likes of Mercer (at home), Fordham and Tulane. But the Jackets have covered the spread in two of their last three games, winning outright at N.C. St. and giving fits to Duke before losing by an 81-74 count.
Ga. Tech is 4-4 SU and 2-2 ATS at home, while UVA is 2-1 SU and 1-1 ATS in three road outings.
The ‘under’ has been cashing at an extraordinary 10-1 overall clip in UVA games this year, going 3-0 in its road assignments. The ‘over’ is 7-5 overall for Ga. Tech, 3-1 in its home games.
This game will be a part of ESPN’s Full Court Game Plan (channel 724 on DirecTV) and come off the board at 8:00 p.m. Eastern.
B.E.’s Bonus Nuggets
Hawaii has covered the spread in six consecutive games. The Warriors will play host to La. Tech on Thursday and New Mexico St. on Saturday.
Kentucky finally snapped its abysmal 0-13-1 ATS slide by taking the cash in Tuesday’s 86-63 home win over Arkansas as a 16½-point home ‘chalk.’
During the offseason, I was disappointed when Michigan’s Darius Morris elected to turn pro early because I was planning on picking the Wolverines to win the national championship. As it’s turned out, John Beilein’s team is better off with true freshman Trey Burke at the point guard position. And hey, that’s not a knock on Morris, who is currently getting minutes off the bench for the Lakers and is a helluva player. But Burke is a better shooter and is nearly as effective getting into the paint and dishing off to teammates for easy looks. Watch out for this Michigan squad that I think is a real sleeper to get to New Orleans for the Final Four.
With Patric Young nursing a sore ankle, Florida’s off week came at the perfect time. After winning Saturday at South Carolina, the Gators don’t return to the court until Saturday’s home games vs. LSU. Young is expected to be in the starting lineup after further evaluations this week showed no structural damage.
NCAAB Preview
Vanderbilt won its last seven games, including a win at Marquette, since losing at home to Indiana State; Commodores won three of last four vs Alabama, winning last visit here, only road team win in last seven regular season series games. Alabama is 7-1 at home; they're shooting 27.8% on arc (338th in country). SEC home favorites of 7 or less points are 4-1 vs spread. Vandy is 3-1 on road, with only loss in OT at Louisville. Bama lost four of last five games against top 100 teams.
Virginia won its last four games with Georgia Tech, all by 8 points or less; they won last three visits here by 2-4-7 points. Cavaliers haven't played in week since 61-58 loss at Duke ended their 12-game win streak- they're 3-1 on road, with decent wins at Oregon/LSU. ACC underdogs are 14-3-1 so far this season, 7-1 at home. Tech lost five of its last six games, dropping last three home games, including bad loss to Mercer. Yellow Jackets are 2-6 vs teams in the top 100.
Cal lost Solomon to grades this week, which hurts; Bears lost four of last five games with Washington, losing 84-69/109-77 in last two visits here. Cal is 13-0 at home, 1-0 on neutral floor, 1-4 on road, with only win at Oregon; they make 41.5% of 3-pointers, but teams that rely on 3's often struggle on road. Pac-12 home teams are 7-5 vs spread when number is 5 or less points. Huskies won five of last six games since South Dakota St beat them by 19 at home, which left U-Dub 6-5 at the time.
BYU (-9.5) won 73-65 at LMU Jan 5, in game that was tied at the half, with Lions shooting just 34% from floor, 5-26 from arc. 16-4 Cougars won last five games since losing WCC debut at St Mary's, winning home games by 36-25-17 points. WCC teams all play in gyms, but BYU plays in a 22,000-seat arena, big difference. WCC home favorites of 15+ points are 5-3 vs spread. LMU is 4-2 on road, beating UCLA in Sports Arena and winning both its WCC road games, at San Diego/USF.
Illinois has been off for nine days since knocking off #1 Ohio State last week at home; Illini is just 4-5 in last nine games with Penn State, losing three of last four visits here- they're 2-1 in true road games, winning at Maryland/Northwestern, losing by 15 at Purdue. Penn State is 1-5 in Big Dozen, with four losses by 12+ points; somehow they beat Purdue by 20 in this gym, which makes no sense. Big Dozen home underdogs of 5 or less points are 7-1 vs spread.
North Carolina won six of last seven games with Virginia Tech, but lost last visit here 74-70; teams split last four games played here. Seven of last ten series games were decided by 6 or less points. Tar Heels lost by 33 at Florida State Saturday, their third straight road loss-- their one win on road is at #141 NC-Asheville. ACC underdogs are 14-3-1 so far this season, 7-1 at home. Hokies lost first three ACC games by total of nine points, with ugly losses to Wake Forest/Boston College.

Big West home teams are 1-6 vs spread if number is 5 or less points. 49ers played #5 non-conference schedule in country, are 5-0 in Big West, with Poly win only one of five by less than 10 points. Mustangs are 2-3 in Big West, with four games decided by 7 or less.
Underdogs covered five of last six Stanford-Washington State games, as Cardinal is 2-3 in last five visits here. Stanford is 3-1 on road, losing by 11 at Oregon, then winning in four OTs at Oregon State two nights later. Pac-12 home teams are 7-5 vs spread when number is 5 or less points. Coogs lost last three games, scoring 61.7 ppg; they're 1-5 vs teams in top 100, with four of five losses by 10+ points. Wazzu is 5-0 at home in Pullman; their first two Pac-12 games were played in Spokane.
Gonzaga lost at San Francisco last two years, but USF lost eight in row in Spokane, by 42-2-3-16-8-34-6-17 points. Dons woke up last week, sweeping couple of home games after starting WCC play 0-4, with road losses by 16-15-15 points. WCC home favorites of 15+ points are 5-3 against the spread. Bulldogs struggled on road last week but are 3-0 at home in WCC, winning by 39-28-22 points- their three losses are all to teams in top 40 in country.
UCLA won its last 13 games with Oregon State, winning last six trips to Corvallis by 9-15-23-23-10-5 points, but this is as close as these teams have been in terms of talent in quite some time. Bruins won eight of last ten games, but are 0-2 in true road games outside of LA, getting swept on Bay Area trip. Pac-12 home teams are 7-5 vs spread when number is 5 or less points. Fast-paced, helter-skelter Beavers are 1-5 in Pac-12, but four of those six were on road, with two of four losses in OT.
Charleston won four of last six games with Davidson, after having lost in previous 11 series games; Cougars lost seven of last eight visits to this gym, losing by 6-5-2-8-25-15-11 points. Davidson is 3-0 at home so far in conference, winning by 21-22-21 points; they're shooting 81% from foul line, tops in country. Charleston is 3-4 in last seven games, with a dreadful home loss to NC-Greensboro throwing up a red flag. Southern Conference single digit home favorites are 9-6 vs spread.
Loyola Md forced 20 turnovers (+11), won 66-59 at Siena Dec 3, second straight series win for Greyhounds after six losses in row in a series that has seen visitor win six of last eight meetings. MAAC home favorites of 8+ points are 3-7 vs spread. Loyola is 5-1 at home, but lost to Niagara; they're 8-2 vs teams ranked below #200. Siena is 1-4 in true road games, with only win at #302 Mt St Mary's; Saints won three of last four, but got trounced 72-53 by Manhattan last time out.
Home side won seven of last eight Niagara-Canisius game, with Purple Eagles losing three of last four visits here, losing by 8-3-15. Niagara won its last two games at home to get to 3-4 in MAAC, but they've already played Iona twice, and they've won at Loyola. Eagles are 6-1 vs teams not in the top 200. 4-13 Canisius hasn't beaten a team ranked higher than #282; they're 1-6 in MAAC, losing their last game at home to dreadful St Peter's. MAAC single digit home underdogs are 3-2 vs spread.
