Free Premium Service Plays For Saturday 3/6/21

Larry Hartstein

BUTLER @ CREIGHTON | 03/06 | 5:00 PM EST
BUTLER +12.5
ANALYSIS: Creighton is the superior team, but the Bluejays can't earn the top seed in the Big East Tournament, are without head coach Greg McDermott (suspension) and essentially have little to play for. Butler, which did rule out top guard Aaron Thompson for the season earlier this week, has played better of late in upsets of Seton Hall and Villanova. The Bulldogs stay within single digits in Omaha.

ILLINOIS @ OHIO ST. | 03/06 | 4:00 PM EST
OHIO ST. -2
ANALYSIS: This appears to be a great situational spot for the struggling Buckeyes as Illinois is off Tuesday's shocking blowout win at Michigan, due a letdown and most likely without star Ayo Dosunmu again. OSU won at Illinois 87-81 on Jan. 17 when Dosunmu was healthy. Give the 2 points.

ILLINOIS @ OHIO ST. | 03/06 | 4:00 PM EST
OHIO ST. -2
ANALYSIS: I'm 100 percent with Larry Hartstein on this one as it seems a sure-fire letdown game for the Illini off Tuesday's historic win (the school's highest-ranked road victory ever) at No. 2 Michigan. Thing is, Illinois can't win the Big Ten regular-season title and most likely will remain without All-American candidate Ayo Dosunmu. What's the motivation here? This is much more important for the Buckeyes, who once were considered a potential No. 1 NCAA Tournament seed candidate but have dropped three in a row and may not even get a first-round bye in the Big Ten Tournament.

VILLANOVA @ PROVIDENCE | 03/06 | 2:30 PM EST
PROVIDENCE +4
ANALYSIS: Villanova is clearly 4 points better than Providence but if this isn't a trap game for the Wildcats, I don't know what is. It's their first time taking the floor since losing star guard Collin Gillespie to a season-ending injury Wednesday (see news feed story). That probably ended any realistic chances the Cats had of winning a national title. They already have the Big East's top seed wrapped up, so why would Jay Wright even bother playing his other key guys heavy minutes here? The Friars will be fired up in their home finale.

LSU @ MISSOURI | 03/06 | 3:00 PM EST
LSU +2
ANALYSIS: The wrong team is favored here. LSU has one of the most efficient offenses in the country, scoring 119.3 points per 100 possessions, which ranks seventh in the country. LSU also has won five straight games against Missouri and has the incentive of the No. 3 seed in the SEC Tournament at stake in this game. My simulations say LSU covers almost two-thirds of the time and wins by four, so you're getting good value at this number.

TEXAS A&M @ ARKANSAS | 03/06 | 5:00 PM EST
TEXAS A&M +15
ANALYSIS: It's been a rough season for Texas A&M as the Aggies enter the final weekend of the regular season at 8-8, and have gone only 2-7 in SEC play. But as bad as they've been, they haven't been a team that's been getting blown out by opponents thanks to a slow pace on offense, and solid defense. So when I see this spread, Arkansas is clearly the better team, but it feels like a bit too much to me. I like the Aggies to keep this one respectable.

ILLINOIS @ OHIO ST. | 03/06 | 4:00 PM EST
OHIO ST. -2
ANALYSIS: There has been a consistent theme with the Illini following a big win this season. Illinois is coming off a surprise 23-point win over Michigan without Ayo Dosunmu. It's the fifth time Illinois has won a game by at least 20 points this season. The Illini are 1-4 ATS in the following game, with the lone cover coming against Chicago State in the team's second game of the season. Ohio State has performed very well against the Illini the last couple of years, with E.J. Liddell in particular finding success. I like the Buckeyes today, whether Illinois gets Ayo back or not.

SAINT LOUIS @ ST. BONA. | 03/06 | 6:00 PM EST
UNDER 132
ANALYSIS: I've always found it profitable to target unders during conference tournament season when the two teams playing are playing for consecutive days. This is one spot that stands out to me on Saturday. The total is low, but it should be, as St. Bonaventure and St. Louis are both strong defensive teams. Also, while neither is poor offensively, I wouldn't call either one of these teams an excellent shooting team, either.

+460 9-4 IN LAST 13 CBB PICKS
10:13 AM

INDIANA ST. @ LOYOLA-CHI. | 03/06 | 1:05 PM EST
INDIANA ST. +11
ANALYSIS: Going a bit contrarian on this play, as Loyola is the well-known mid-major going against an Indiana State team that hasn't been relevant since Larry Bird was in uniform. Indiana State comes into this game playing well. The Sycamores have covered 11 of their last 15 games, a streak that began with an ATS split against this same Loyola squad. The Ramblers have covered only two of their last eight. I fully expect the Ramblers to move on and win this game, but the Sycamores stay within single-digits.

SO. UTAH @ PORTLAND ST. | 03/06 | 3:05 PM EST
SO. UTAH -3.5
ANALYSIS: Southern Utah (18-3) is a well coached team that looks to earn its way into the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2001, but the Thunderbirds still have business to finish: winning the regular-season finale today and the Big Sky Conference tourney next week. They’ve won eight straight, the last being Thursday at Portland State when they erased a deficit with a 16-0 run to take the lead at the half and win by 10. Southern Utah gets the cover.

ETSU @ CHATTANOOGA | 03/06 | 2:30 PM EST
CHATTANOOGA +1
ANALYSIS: East Tennessee has lost three straight and five of its last six (1-5 ATS) with one of the losses coming at Chattanooga, 53-51, three weeks ago. Chattanooga has won six of its last eight (6-2 ATS) and is led by great guard play that helped the Mocs go 14-8 ATS this season. They are playing better right now, and the price is cheap. Chattanooga is the play.
