Thursday Tip Sheet
By Judd Hall
Thursday night is loaded with college hoops action that will go a long way towards shaping this season’s field of 65. Notre Dame will be desperately trying to get its season back on track against the Cards. Then you have the Sun Devils, who are looking to gain a quality victory when they host UCLA.
Let’s break those contests down now.
Louisville Cardinals at Notre Dame Fighting Irish
--Louisville (18-4 straight up, 13-9 against the spread) needed to bounce back after its pasting by the Huskies with a solid outing against the Red Storm on Feb. 8. And the Cards got exactly what they needed by taking down St. John’s as 10 ½-point road favorites, 60-47.
--While the Cardinals covered the number for the eighth time in their last 10 games, they didn’t look like they could statistically. Terrence Williams leads the team with 13.0 points per game this season, but he could only muster three points against the Storm last Sunday. Only two players on the Louisville were able to score in the double-digits in this contest. Jerry Smith helped keep the Cards on the winning end by scoring 21 points, hitting all 11 free throws he had against St. John’s.
--The Fighting Irish certainly are trying to see how deep the rabbit hole goes right now as they’ve lost seven straight contests, failing to cover in their last nine. Notre Dame’s (12-10 SU, 4-12 ATS) most recent disappointment came in the form of an 89-63 setback against the Bruins as an 11-point road pup at Pauley Pavilion.
--If there is any positive for the Irish latest loss is that Luke Harangody had just five points versus UCLA. That meant someone had to step up. Tory Jackson did just that by scoring 17 points with eight rebounds and three assists.
--Las Vegas Sports Consultants has listed Louisville as a three-point road favorite with a total of 144.
--Notre Dame has played okay at home this year by going 8-2 SU. However, the Irish have been blasted in their last two Big East meetings in South Bend, getting outscored 182-146 combined. The ‘under’ did cash in for bettors in those past two tilts.
--The Irish have not been a great squad to back when tabbed as underdogs, going 1-6 SU and ATS in that spot this season.
--Louisville has fared well on the road this year with a 6-2 mark SU and 5-3 ATS. They saw the ‘under’ go 5-2 in those matches, too.
--This would be a proper way for Notre Dame to end its skid since the Cards were the team that started it back on Jan. 12. The Fighting Irish fell as six-point road ‘dogs, 87-73, in overtime. While Harangody (28 points, 13 rebounds) and Kyle McAlarney (19 points) put up solid efforts, they couldn’t overcome coughing up the ball 15 times to just nine from the Cardinals.
--You can catch this contest on ESPN360.com at 7:00 p.m. EST.
UCLA Bruins at Arizona State Sun Devils
--LVSC has put this game in as a pick ‘em with the total standing still at 127 ½.
--UCLA (19-4 SU, ATS) is looking as good as they have all season long in winning its last four straight fixtures…covering the number in all four as well. Bettors have seen the Bruins cash ‘over’ tickets in their past six matches.
--Ben Howland’s club even helped out the Pac-10’s bubble squads resumes by smacking the Fighting Irish down, 89-63, as an 11-point home “chalk.” Alfred Aboya took Notre Dame to task with 19 points and seven boards, while Darren Collison poured in 17 points.
--Arizona State (18-5 SU, ATS) did its level best to put up a Big Ten kind of score when they beat the Beavers as an 8 ½-point road fave, 49-38. Jamelle McMillan put up 14 points and Jeff Pendergraph put in 15 points on his own. It’s just a shame that the rest of team couldn’t find a way to score.
--Here’s something to chew on when trying to figure out the Sun Devils’ offense: Pendergraph and McMillan shot a combined 68.7 percent of the field, the rest of the team shot 19 percent. Luckily for ASU, the Beavers shot just 32.6 percent from the field.
--The Sun Devils have gone 9-2 SU and 4-3 ATS when playing at home this season. Those two defeats, however, came in Arizona State’s last two games at Wells Fargo Arena.
--UCLA has been so-so on the road this year as evidenced by going 5-3 SU and 4-4 ATS.
--The last time these two squads faced off the Sun Devils won as 6 ½-point road ‘dogs, 61-58, on Jan. 17. ASU shot 46.8 percent from the field and held the Bruins to just one field goal in a 13-minute span at the end of regulation and part of extra time. It was the first time they’ve beaten UCLA since 2004.
--The Bruins are 4-0 SU in Tempe recently, but just 2-2 ATS in those tilts. The ‘under’ has hit in the last two head-to-head meetings.
--ESPN will handle the broadcasting duties for this contest at 9:00 p.m. EST.

Miami (27-24, 23-26-2 ATS) at Chicago (23-29, 25-26-1 ATS)
The struggling Heat travel to the Windy City for a matchup with the streaking Bulls inside the United Center.
Miami has lost five of its last seven SU and ATS, including Tuesday’s 99-82 home loss to the Nuggets as a 1½-point underdog. The Heat have also dropped their last three roadies (1-2 ATS), and they haven’t scored more than 96 points in any of their last four games overall.
Chicago may have finally hit its stride this season, winning five of its last seven overall and going 7-0-1 ATS in its last eight contests. The Bulls earned a 107-102 home win over the Pistons on Tuesday, cashing as three-point favorites. They have scored 100 points or more in six straight and eight of their last 10, and they are averaging 110 ppg and 48 percent shooting in their last five.
The Heat got a 90-77 home win over the Bulls back on Dec. 26, covering as 5½-point favorites. However, the Bulls have won four straight over Miami inside the United Center, including a 99-92 victory a year ago as two-point home pups, and they are 8-2-1 ATS in the last 11 series clashes in Chicago. Lastly, the underdog has a 5-1 ATS edge in the last six meetings.
In addition to going 2-5 ATS in its last seven overall, Miami is 2-8 ATS in its last 10 Thursday games, but the Heat are on positive ATS runs of 5-1 against Central Division squads, 7-2 after getting one day off and 6-2 against teams with a losing record.

The Heat are on “over” streaks of 5-2 overall, 8-2 on the road, 10-1 after a straight-up loss and 4-0 against Central Division teams. Chicago is also riding “over” trends of 5-0 overall, 5-2 at home, 11-5 against the Eastern Conference and 6-2 against Southwest Division squads.

Boston (43-11, 30-24 ATS) at Dallas (31-20, 24-27 ATS)
The Celtics continue their six-game Western Conference road trip with a stop at the American Airlines Arena in Dallas as they face the Mavericks.
Boston opened its trip with Wednesday’s 89-77 victory in New Orleans, cashing as a seven-point road chalk. The Celtics are 19-7 SU on the road this season but just 9-17 ATS, but they have won six in a row on the highway (5-1 ATS).

Colonial Athletic Conference:
George Mason vs. Deleware
This is another game that has the possible upsets in the making. GM beat this team by 23 at home, but just come off a loss at James Madison where they lost by just 2 points after their big win against Hofstra. Heck, maybe they had a let down. Now, they play Deleware who come off a road loss to Georgia State but defeated Drexel (a similarly ranked team to George Mason) at home in overtime. Plus, 70%+ are on GM so I would not be surprised to see Deleware very game here and get inside the number, and who knows, maybe an outright win - the reason why I laid off is that GM does come off a tight loss to a good JMU team by just 2 points on the road.
Atlantic 10:
Temple vs. St. Josephs
I am a fan of Temple basketball, but do note that they are in a bad spot today. For starters, the public is all over the jock straps of this team on the short road lay. This team is a top 50 team in power rankings, but they are 13-9 as well. It's not as if this team is impermeable to road losses or even road conferences as this team lost to top 125 Umass on the road, top 100 Buffalo on the road by 10 and even Long Beach State who is a team outside the top 150 earlier in the year. Considering St. Josephs is a top 90 team, they can certainly make the upset here in prime time tonight. Let's not forget this team beat Rhode Island at home in Triple OT and this is the same team that beat Umass on the road by 4 which even Temple could not do. Just be wary of this game as I can see a St. Josephs upset clearly as Temple has not been perfect this year by any means, they are beatable on the highway as they haev lost to worse teams than St. J and St. J has beat some quality teams at home. no thanks.
Big East:
Notre Dame vs. Louisville
ND is struggling, but remember, they should have beat this Louisville team on the road prior to that game going to OT. Now, ND will be ready to face Louisville at home and they are in danger of possibly missing the NCAA Tourney. This team is just 3-7 in conference play but have had a brutal schedule and even played UCLA on the road as well in their last game. Louisville just took care of St. John's by double-digits on the road and although I lean on Louisville, it is tough to take any team once again the public is on by a tune of 70%. No thanks. And, of course, massive revenge for ND as if there was a game they step up, this could be the one. Bear in mind though that ND could have the early lead and it all depends on how much Louisville comes back to reclaim the lead. The 10min to 5min mark in the second half will be pivotal to this game imo.
Tips and Trends
#6 UCLA at #18 Arizona State
UCLA (-1.5, O/U 127.5): The Bruins have won their last four games by an average of 22.8 points and appear to be much-improved since the last time they played Arizona State. They will be looking to avenge a 61-58 overtime loss at home to the Sun Devils back on January 17th and have averaged 85.8 points during their winning streak. “It’s obvious we’ve been performing at a new level and just improving as a team,” said UCLA head coach Ben Howland.
UCLA is 14-5 ATS in its last 19 Thursday games.
The OVER is 6-0 in UCLA's last 6 games overall.
Key Injuries - NONE
PROJECTED SCORE: 67 (Side Play of the Day)
Arizona State: The Sun Devils have lost the last four home meetings with UCLA and need a win here in order to keep their slim hopes of a Pac-10 title alive. They hope to have point guard Derek Glasser back after he missed Saturday's 49-37 win at Oregon State. Glasser suffered a concussion in the team's previous game, and he ranks second in the conference in assist-to-turnover ratio at 2.1.
Arizona State is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
The UNDER is 7-2 in Arizona State's last 9 games overall.
Key Injuries - G Derek Glasser (concussion) is questionable.
PROJECTED SCORE: 61
