QUADRUPLE COLLEGE HOOPS GAME OF THE MONTH
Northeastern "pick"
MATT FARGO
Connecticut is going to be a very popular pick this weekend as it is coming off a blowout loss at Providence on Wednesday. The Huskies are now home once again where they are 12-1 this season including a big win last Saturday over then-number one ranked Texas. The loss against the Friars dropped Connecticut to 3-4 in the Big East Conference and there is a good possibility that it will get bumped out of the top 25 unless a big performance takes place here but I don’t see it happening. There are six teams ranked that are from the Big East and the Huskies are the only team with a losing conference record and that alone tells me this team is extremely overrated. They have played a very strong schedule and obviously most of the losses have come away from home but this is not an ideal matchup. Marquette won at home on Tuesday as it blasted Rutgers which isn’t saying much but it improved to 3-5 in the conference and while that may seem bad, let’s take a closer look. The Golden Eagles have faced five conference foes that are currently ranked in the top 25 and they are 1-4 in those games. They also have a 0-4 record on the road in Big East play and a 0-5 record on the road overall. Again, that does not look good but those four road losses in the conference were by a combined nine points including two losses by a single point and another by just two points. The other Big East loss came at home against Villanova, currently 19-1 overall and 8-0 in the conference, by just two points, the second loss this season by a bucket against the Wildcats. Sitting at 12-8, Marquette could easily be four games better at this point and even better as two out of conference losses against Florida St. and NC State came by a combined five points. Obviously the Golden Eagles have had trouble closing games but with the eight overall losses coming by an average of 3.1 ppg, I am more than confident backing them here. The early season schedule has been brutal but the worst is over and this battle tested team will make a rush down the stretch. The Golden Eagles are a perfect 4-0 ATS in their last four games against teams with a winning percentage greater than .600. 9* Marquette Golden Eagles

Lousiville/WVU
In most years you see this game and you would think Under under under. But this is a difference UofL team that can't stop many people, and are even worse defensively on the road. WVU can really score the ball as they seem to shoot until they miss with the great offensive rebounding from all 5 positions. I think playing Ohio State's zone really will help WVU as they are accustomed to playing against the zone. The difference though is that the pressure can get to WVU so U of L wants to score and be able to make the WVU team handle the press. This one will get into a helter skelter game early that will push this one over.
