Indiana at Iowa – 9:00 PM EST
Both the Hawkeyes and Hoosiers are coming off tough losses in the final seconds at home on Tuesday. Iowa (20-6 SU, 12-14 ATS) had its four-game winning streak snapped in a 66-65 defeat to Maryland as 2 ½-point favorites. The Hawkeyes erased an 11-point deficit with six minutes remaining to grab a 65-64 advantage with 19 seconds left. Bruno Fernando’s tip-in gave the Terrapins the lead as a desperation three-pointer by Iowa fell short to prevent the Hawkeyes from a third straight win on a game-winning three.
Indiana (13-13 SU, 9-16 ATS) dropped their 11th game in 12 tries after suffering a 48-46 setback to rival Purdue. The Hoosiers managed a cover as six-point home underdogs, but IU fell to 0-6 SU in its last six games at Assembly Hall, while picking up their first ATS home win in conference play this season. Indiana limited Purdue to 31% shooting from the floor, but the Hoosiers shot 15-of-55 from the field, while hitting only 5-of-25 attempts from long range.
The Hoosiers beat Penn State to start their Big 10 road slate, but Archie Miller’s team has lost six of their last seven games away from Bloomington. For the exception of stunning Michigan State as 13 ½-point underdogs on February 2, the Hoosiers have lost by double-digits at Michigan, Purdue, and Minnesota, as the Gophers blasted Indiana, 84-63 last Saturday.
In two instances this season in which Iowa lost at home, the Hawkeyes fell short in their next contest in defeats at Michigan State and Minnesota. Iowa seeks the season sweep of Indiana after holding off the Hoosiers at Assembly Hall, 77-72 on February 7 as 2 ½-point underdogs. The victory was only the second in the last seven meetings for Iowa, while six of these matchups have sailed OVER the total.
Davidson at Rhode Island – 9:00 PM EST
Five games remain on the schedule for each of the 14 teams in the Atlantic 10 conference. Davidson (19-7 SU, 13-12 ATS) sits in second place in the A-10, one game behind VCU at 10-3 as the Wildcats are coming off only their third league defeat. Dayton led Davidson by 19 points with 9:30 minutes remaining in regulation, but the Wildcats stormed back to tie the game with 11 seconds left. The Flyers hit a late free throw to avoid a monumental meltdown and edge the Wildcats, 74-73 as 3 ½-point underdogs.
Davidson seeks the season sweep of Rhode Island (12-13 SU, 9-16 ATS) after dominating the Rams in the first matchup, 68-53 as four-point favorites. The Wildcats opening things up after owning a three-point halftime lead as Jon Axel Gudmundsson led Davidson with 20 points and 12 rebounds. When these teams met last season, Davidson beat URI by a combined three points in two wins, but the Rams were limited to fewer than 55 points for the sixth time this season.
URI looks to end a four-game losing streak after getting routed at VCU, 76-42 as seven-point underdogs. The Rams were ice-cold from the start by shooting 30% from the floor, including a 2-for-11 effort from three-point range. URI cashed its fifth consecutive UNDER ticket, while falling to 0-4 SU/ATS in its last four road contests. The Rams dropped their previous two home games to Dayton and Fordham, while being listed as a home underdog for the first time this season.
Ivy League Nuggets
Harvard (13-8 SU, 10-10 ATS) travels to Brown (15-9 SU, 9-10-3 ATS) as the Crimson are coming off a pair of road victories at Princeton and Penn last weekend. Following a shocking blowout loss at Dartmouth to tip off Ivy League play, Harvard has won six of its past seven conference contests, while posting a 4-0 ATS mark as long as it isn’t laying double-digits. The Bears are seeking consecutive Ivy wins for the first time this season after edging Columbia last Saturday. Harvard dominated Brown in its first matchup, 68-47 to easily cash as six-point favorites in early February 2.
The leader of the Ivy League heading into this weekend’s action is Yale (17-4 SU, 12-8 ATS), who owns a 7-1 record after outlasting Cornell, 98-92 last Saturday as 5 ½-point road favorites. The Bulldogs welcome in Dartmouth (11-13 SU, 11-8-3 ATS), who hung in a pair of close road losses at Penn and Princeton. The Big Green cashed in both those defeats as substantial underdogs, while improving to 4-1-1 ATS when receiving points in Ivy action. Yale crushed Dartmouth earlier this month, 89-68 as five-point road favorites to pick up its seventh consecutive victory in the series since 2016.
Both Cornell (13-11 SU, 11-11 ATS) and Princeton (13-8 SU, 9-10 ATS) sit in the middle of the Ivy League standings owning identical 5-3 conference marks. The Tigers outlasted the Big Red in overtime, 70-61 in early February as 1 ½-point road favorites, but Cornell has won four of five games since that setback. Cornell rode a four-game hot streak prior to a six-point home loss to Yale, while Princeton snapped a three-game skid in a 69-68 triumph over Dartmouth. In spite of the win, the Tigers are 0-4 ATS the last four games, including three non-covers in the favorite role.
Columbia (6-16 SU, 9-10-1 ATS) resides in last-place of the Ivy with a dreadful 1-7 record. The Lions lost for the fourth time in Ivy action by two points or less in last Saturday’s 65-63 home setback to Brown as one-point favorites. Columbia has managed covers the last two Friday nights as 10 ½-point underdogs at Harvard and a 9 ½-point ‘dog to Yale in close defeats. Columbia heads to Penn (15-9 SU, 12-11 ATS), who has alternated wins and losses in its past four games. The Quakers followed up an overtime win over Dartmouth with an overtime defeat to Harvard to fall to 1-2 in home league play. Penn slipped past Columbia in its first meeting, 72-70 earlier this month, but the Lions cashed as 5 ½-point underdogs.
NCAA Weekend Watch (2/23/19)
Regular Season Conference Title Races Heat Up
Conference tournaments are rapidly approaching, and that means that post-season basketball and all the excitement it brings in the lose and your out atmosphere of the collegiate game is something bettors are gearing up for.
But players are gearing up for it as well, and with the first goal each season for nearly every team in the country being “win the conference title,” we are now approaching games where every win or loss matters that much more in terms of how attainable that goal ultimately is.
For the top teams in three respective “Big” conferences – Big 12, Big East, and Big 10 – this weekend's slate of games will go a long way in deciding who will be left standing come the final week. It's these games that should get extra attention from a betting perspective this weekend, as it may serve you well to take a more analytical approach to these contests with motivation levels likely not going to be an issue.
So let's take a look at what a few of the teams in the hunt in those respective conferences have ahead of them this weekend.
Can Marquette maintain control atop the Big East?
Thanks to two straight losses, the Villanova Wildcats now find themselves looking up at Marquette in the Big East standings in a race that's only been between the two of them for a few weeks now. Marquette currently holds the edge in both the loss column (2) and the head-to-head matchup with Villanova, but the return match is coming up in Villanova on Wednesday. Before that, the Golden Eagles have to make sure they take care of business on the road in Providence on Saturday.
Marquette has been rolling of late (9-3 ATS with two of those three ATS losses coming by the 'hook') and their comeback effort over Butler on Wednesday night was impressive. They now make a trip to Providence on Saturday – a team they've already beaten by 11 this year – and it's not hard to argue that on the surface it has the look and feel of a possible “trap” or “sandwich” spot for Marquette. They know that a win in Villanova next week will all but lock up the Big East crown for them, and it's hard not to have one eye on that matchup as it is.
So depending on the point spread that comes out, it may be worth a look at taking points with the likely home dog in Providence. The Friars have not played up to expectations this season, but they just blasted a good St John's team for the second time this year, and can be a tough out on their own floor against anyone.
Finally, it's not like Villanova has an easy test ahead of them either this weekend, as they've got a road game @ Xavier on Sunday before that big showdown with Marquette, and it's a game the Wildcats should go into it with the feeling that they've got to have it. Obviously that may change should Marquette fall the day before, and that too, is something to consider should it happen as you make your way through handicapping the Big East action this weekend.
Will anyone seize control in the Big 12?
Kansas State enters the weekend with a one-game lead over Texas Tech and Kansas in the Big 12 standings, but Iowa State and Baylor are still lurking as well, just two games back themselves. All 10 teams in the conference are in action on Saturday, with the biggest matchup being Kansas @ Texas Tech where the loser can likely kiss their regular season title hopes goodbye.
Kansas won the first meeting in dominant fashion (79-63), but the Jayhawks have consistently been a much worse team away from home this year (2-4 SU in conference road games), and it will be interesting to see if that trend holds up. After all, the Jayhawks have at least held a share of the Big 12 regular season crown for 14 straight years and it would be quite the blow to see that streak end this year.
Among the leaders, Kansas State has a more favorable matchup on Saturday as they host Oklahoma State, beating the Cowboys by 17 in Stillwater earlier this year. But like Marquette's game on Saturday, this K-State/OK State game has quite the feel of a potential bad spot for the Wildcats, as they've got their final showdown against hated Kansas on deck.
That's not particularly a great spot to be in as the likely decisive home favorites Kansas State projects to be against the Cowboys, and I'd likely only look to take the points with Oklahoma State here, depending on the spread. It's not like Kansas State's offense can blow people out of the water as it is, and a lapse in mental focus for good teams in games they are expected to win easy, always tends to show itself on the defensive end first.
Control of the Big 10 up for grabs as well
There is essentially a three-way tie atop the Big 10 entering the weekend between Michigan State, Michigan, and Purdue, with the latter being the only one in action on Saturday. Sunday's the big day for the other two as we get our first Michigan State/Michigan matchup of the year, and the winner there will definitely have a leg up in obtaining the regular season title.
Both of those Michigan schools will know whether or not Purdue was able to keep pace, and with the Boilermakers on the road in Nebraska on Saturday, I wouldn't pencil it in that Purdue will be able to stay tied in the race with Sunday's eventual winner.
Nebraska's really fallen on some hard times for the past month as they made their way through the meat of their conference schedule. A 1-9 ATS record over their past 10 games doesn't inspire much confidence in backing them in a spot like this, but what it should do is give them a bit of line value on the number that may be worthy of consideration.
Having been blown out by 19 points in Purdue earlier this year, Nebraska will be catching a few points in this spot, and depending on how many points that number ends up being, it may be the right side to take. Purdue has looked very beatable on the road lately, as their last three road games have seen the Boilermakers – need a buzzer-beater to beat Indiana this week, lose by 14 at Maryland prior to that, and need OT to get by Penn State. That's a sign to me that this team still has some travelling concerns to iron out, Nebraska would love nothing more to try and get their issues corrected by knocking off a top team in the conference at the same time.
Indiana (13-13 SU, 9-16 ATS) dropped their 11th game in 12 tries after suffering a 48-46 setback to rival Purdue. The Hoosiers managed a cover as six-point home underdogs, but IU fell to 0-6 SU in its last six games at Assembly Hall, while picking up their first ATS home win in conference play this season. Indiana limited Purdue to 31% shooting from the floor, but the Hoosiers shot 15-of-55 from the field, while hitting only 5-of-25 attempts from long range.
The Hoosiers beat Penn State to start their Big 10 road slate, but Archie Miller’s team has lost six of their last seven games away from Bloomington. For the exception of stunning Michigan State as 13 ½-point underdogs on February 2, the Hoosiers have lost by double-digits at Michigan, Purdue, and Minnesota, as the Gophers blasted Indiana, 84-63 last Saturday.
In two instances this season in which Iowa lost at home, the Hawkeyes fell short in their next contest in defeats at Michigan State and Minnesota. Iowa seeks the season sweep of Indiana after holding off the Hoosiers at Assembly Hall, 77-72 on February 7 as 2 ½-point underdogs. The victory was only the second in the last seven meetings for Iowa, while six of these matchups have sailed OVER the total.
