Notre Dame +1
The home team wins tonight. The starters for Pitt surprisingly do not average many minutes on the floor per game. This can be attributed to the coach trying to be too cute with the combination of players he has on the court. On the road, especially at Notre Dame towards the end of the season, this will haunt the Panthers. ND will have synergy with their top 7 or even top 8 players from tip-off and Pitt should be scrambling all game from behind trying to formulate the correct squad. Their top two scorers have poor shooting percentages while ND top two light up (particularly at home). The biggest difference here, however, is home court advantage. Notre Dame should be favored, so the arbitrage there makes this a very attractive play. Take the Irish!
Marc Lawrence
Southern Miss +4
When the Miners travel to Southern Mississippi to meet the Bulldogs in a CUSA showdown Wednesday evening they will take the court knowing that UTEP is off an upset win over Tulsa, it's 20th victory of the season. With that we note the Miners are 2-6 ATS as road chalk in games off an upset win, including 0-3 SU and ATS in this role from Game 20 out. Southern Miss enters tonight's game 10-1 ATS this season when playing with three or more days of rest, including 6-0 ATS when taking points. Look for the Bulldogs to bark loud tonight. We recommend a 3-unit play on Southern Mississippi.

NCAA GOY - Arkansas
I have NO idea why this line is where it is at. I have searched injuries, ATS scenarios, player matchups, scoring models, you name it. It apparently is some eyes is a trap game. I DO NOT SEE IT. LSU has not won a conference game, Arkansas just DESTROYED LSU 87-52 on the 1oth of this month! UNREAL LINE. In my opinion is gets no better than this. The Tigers flat out stink, they are averaging 57 ppg their last 5, Arkansas is at 82 ppg, and LSU is shooting 35 from the floor and 28% from 3 point land. Arkansas has WAAAY too much offense here and unless they are poorly coached in this one, fail to get on the plane to get to Baton Rouge, they win by double digits..this is a cheap line, my power rating is 8.5 points including eh road team factor. lay 3 Units on the Hogs…Sooee!!
Rocketman
Wichita St +3.5
Wichita State is allowing only 60.9 points per game overall and 63 points per game on the road this year. Shockers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Wednesday games. Shockers are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a SU loss. Braves are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games following a SU win. Braves are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Wichita State is 22-7 overall this year and looking to improve their resume for postseason play. We'll play Wichita State for 3 units tonight!
The Duke's Sports
Pittsburgh (-1) for 2.5 Units
Pitt has turned up their game on a 5-0 SU / 4-0 ATS tear and should deliver here after all, the Panthers are 6-1 SU at ND under Dixon. Moreover, the Irish will be without their star post player Harangody, which means the Irish will essentially be turned into a 3 point jacking team consequently, we'll look for the Pitt perimeter defense, which allows just 30.5% from the perimeter, to umbrella their coverage and take away those perimeter launches, especially from Abromaitis, who the Irish are reliable on now that Harangody is out. Pitt is a sweet 10-1 ATS in this spread range on the road and we'll roll with them.

For a number of different reasons I believe the value in this contest is on Florida State
Chris Singleton scored 12 points and grabbed seven rebounds to lead Florida State to a 69-50 victory over Virginia on Wednesday night.
Luke Louks had 11 points and Xavier Gibson added 10 for the Seminoles (19-7, 7-5 Atlantic Coast Conference), who held Virginia to its second-lowest scoring output of the season and I expect a repeat performance tonight.
Solomon Alabi, who came in averaging 12.5 points per game, scored eight points for Florida State. The Seminoles’ leading scorer this season left the game at the 18:46 mark with an arm injury, but returned to score six first-half points.
The Seminoles shot 50 percent from the floor compared to Virginia (14-10, 5-6), which shot 38 percent.
Florida State led by nine points at halftime, but went on an 11-2 run to start the second half.
It's interesting to point out that Florida State is in fact 4-1 ATS its last five when playing North Carolina.
On the other side of the court: Boston College slowed down an already reeling North Carolina team even more.
Reggie Jackson, making his first start of the season at point guard Saturday, scored 13 of his 17 points in the second half to lift the Eagles to a 71-67 win over the struggling Tar Heels.
Deon Thompson paced North Carolina (14-13, 3-9) with 17 points and nine rebounds. The Tar Heels, who shot 39 percent, lost their ninth in 11 games. It is the Tar Heels’ worst stretch since losing 11 of 12 in 2001-02; things are going to get worse before they get better for this team.
Not only is North Carolina just 1-6 ATS its last seven overall, it's also just 1-4 ATS its last five at home.
Bottom line: Look for FLORIDA STATE to improve to a perfect 3-0 ATS as a road favourite of 3 points or less or pk and for UNC to fall to 2-9 ATS vs. good defensive teams that allow 64 points or less per contest!
