NCAAB Today

Notes on the best of today's games.

South Carolina is 9-1, losing in OT at Charleston, but other than that, its schedule has been terrible; Gamecocks have played 342nd-ranked slate in country, just about the easiest. Clemson is 12-0, with wins at Miami by 25, Charlotte by 1, Illinois by 2. ACC road favorites are 6-9 vs spread; SEC underdogs are 7-9 against the number.

Cleveland State is 7-4, 3-2 on road, 1-1 in Horizon, 5-2 vs spread when favored; they've won their last five games, including win at the Carrier Dome, since losing by 10 at West Virginia. Wright State won its last four games after a 1-7 start- they just won three games in row on neutral floor over Oral Roberts (13), South Florida (17), Murray State (16).

George Mason is 8-2, 3-2 on road, with all five games decided by six or less points, and three of five decided either in OT or by a point. Dayton is 11-1, winning its last three games by 12+ points; their only loss is by 18 at Creigbhton. A-14 home favorites are 7-11 vs spread. CAA road underdogs are 15-15 on foreign soil.

Purdue is 11-2, winning six games since Duke came to Mackey Arena and crushed Boilers 76-60 on Dec 2. Purdue is 5-5 vs spread when favored this year.

Butler is 9-1, but 2-3 vs spread when the favorite- they resume league play Saturday. C-USA road dogs are 4-8 vs spread. Horizon home favorites are 9-8 against the spread.

Seton Hall is 2-3 in last five games, with losses to James Madison and IUPUI in there; they also upset Virginia Tech and beat USC, so they're a team (2-0 vs spread) that is better off as underdog. Syracuse is 2-4 when favored this year, but they're 12-1 SU and they get Devendorf back from his suspension, just in time for league play. What a coincidence.

Wisconsin-Milwaukee is 5-5 vs D-I teams but is already 2-0 in Horizon play, winning home games against Detroit (71-62), Wright State (66-59); they beat Bradley in last game, 10 days ago, but Panthers are 0-3-1 vs spread as underdog.

Ole Miss has already had three guards blow out ACLs this season, and their best player PG Warren was last one to do it, so they're in trouble on road here vs Southern Miss squad that is 8-4 against a weak schedule, where best team they've beaten is Weber State or Iona. SEC road dogs are 2-7 vs spread. C-USA home favorites are 18-7.

Lot like South Carolina, Arkansas is 9-1 playing 340th-ranked schedule in country, just terrible teams- South Alabama is best team they've beat and they lost 62-57 at Missouri State.

(20) Clemson (12-0, 4-3 ATS) at South Carolina (9-1, 2-3 ATS)

South Carolina looks to knock Clemson from the ranks of the unbeatens when these instate rivals continue their annual non-conference series at the Colonial Center in Columbia, S.C.

The Gamecocks roll into this contest on a five-game winning streak (2-1 ATS), though they’ve fattened up entirely on weak competition, including a 75-56 rout of Division II Presbyterian in a non-lined home game a week ago today. During the streak, South Carolina has averaged 80.2 points per game (47.4 percent shooting) and given up 54.2 ppg (37.1 percent), with all five wins coming by at least 14 points. The ‘Cocks’ only loss this season was against Charlotte on a neutral court, an 82-80 overtime setback as a one-point favorite.

Like South Carolina, Clemson has built its sterling record against mostly subpar opponents. However, in their most recent game on Dec. 21, the Tigers opened up ACC play with a dominating 92-71 victory at Miami, Fla., as a three-point underdog. Clemson’s other quality wins came on the road against Illinois (76-74 as a one-point underdog) and Charlotte (71-70 as a four-point chalk).

Clemson is on a 4-0 SU and ATS streak in this rivalry, including last year’s 85-74 victory as a nine-point home favorite. The Tigers have prevailed in their last two trips to Columbia, winning 74-53 as a three-point favorite in 2006 and 63-62 in overtime as an eight-point underdog in 2004. The SU winner has covered in each of the last 10 battles going back to 1998.

While the Tigers have are 2-0 SU and ATS on the road, South Carolina is unbeaten through eight games on its home court, but only three were against Division I opponents (1-2 ATS).

Clemson is on ATS runs of 4-1 on the highway, 6-1 against SEC competition and 5-0 on the road against teams with a winning home record. South Carolina has cashed in seven of its last 10 on Tuesday, but otherwise is in pointspread funks of 2-6 in non-conference play and 1-5 at home.

The over is on streaks of 14-6-1 for Clemson in lined non-conference games, 4-1 for Clemson against the SEC, 5-1 for the Gamecocks overall and 5-2 for the Gamecocks in non-league action. However, South Carolina has stayed low in nine of its last 12 at home, and the total has alternated in the last four meetings in this rivalry, with last year’s going over the posted price.

ATS ADVANTAGE: CLEMSON and OVER

Illinois (12-1, 6-4 ATS) at (9) Purdue (11-2, 5-5)

Two teams coming off successful non-conference campaigns open Big Ten play, with Illinois traveling to Mackey Arena for a matchup with 10th-ranked Purdue.

The Illini arrive in West Lafayette, Ind., carrying a six-game winning streak (3-1 ATS in lined games), most recently knocking off Eastern Michigan 62-53 on Sunday but falling way short as a 22-point home favorite, the first time during the streak they failed to post a double-digit rout. Illinois, whose only blemish so far was a 76-74 home loss to Clemson as a one-point favorite in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, has played just one true road game, knocking off Vanderbilt 69-63 as a six-point underdog.

Since suffering back-to-back losses to No. 11 Oklahoma (87-82 in New York) and No. 4 Duke (76-60 at home), the Boilermakers have ripped off six straight double-digit wins (2-2 ATS in lined games). On Sunday, they concluded their non-conference schedule with a 59-45 rout of Valparaiso, failing to cover as a 25-point home favorite. Purdue is 9-1 at Mackey Arena, but just 3-3 ATS in lined action (1-3 ATS last four at home).

These teams met three times last year. Purdue won the first two regular-season battles 74-67 as a three-point home favorite and 83-75 as a 4½-point road underdog, but the Illini knocked the Boilermakers out of the Big Ten tournament with a 74-67 overtime win as a 4½-point pup. Purdue is still 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings overall and 5-1-1 in the last seven clashes at Mackay Arena. Finally, the host is 4-1 SU (2-3 ATS) in the last five regular-season battles.

Both squads are among the best in the nation on the defensive end of the court. Illinois ranks 14th in the nation in scoring defense (55.8 ppg allowed) and fourth in 3-point defense (26.4 ppg allowed), while the Boilermakers are 15th in scoring defense (56 ppg allowed) and fourth in overall field-goal defense (35 percent). Also, both the Illini (71.4 ppg) and Purdue (74.2 ppg) average better than 70 points per contest offensively.

Illinois is on ATS tears of 6-3 overall, 5-1 on the road, 5-3 after a SU win and 5-0 after a non-cover. Purdue has followed up an 18-4-1 ATS run by failing to cash in five of its last seven lined games. However, the Boilermakers remain on pointspread streaks of 22-6-1 in conference play, 8-2-1 on Tuesdays and 11-5-1 versus teams with a winning record.

The under is on runs of 5-1 for the Illini overall, 19-9-1 for the Illini on the road, 6-2 for the Illini in Big Ten action, 4-1 for Purdue overall, 5-2 for Purdue at home and 5-2 for Purdue when playing on Tuesdays. Conversely, the over has been the play in four of the last five meetings in this rivalry.

ATS ADVANTAGE: PURDUE

(4) Oklahoma (12-0, 4-4 ATS) at Arkansas (9-1, 2-2 ATS)

Player-of-the-year candidate Blake Griffin leads unbeaten Oklahoma into Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville, Ark., for a non-conference clash with the Razorbacks, who are undefeated at home this year.

Oklahoma has been idle since Dec. 22, when it dumped Rice 70-58, falling just short as a 16½-point road favorite. The Sooners have posted five straight double-digit wins (2-2 ATS) prevailing by an average of 19 ppg (74-55), and they’ve given up less than 60 points in four of the victories. Also, OU has scored at least 69 points in every game this season, tallying 80 or more six times, with Griffin (23 points, 14.1 rebounds per game, 68.3 percent shooting) leading the charge.

Arkansas is riding a seven-game winning streak, the last six coming at home by an average of 23 ppg (86-63). However, five of those six wins came against Division II competition, including Saturday’s 95-56 rout of Northwestern State in a non-lined game. The Razorbacks, whose only loss was a 62-57 setback at Missouri State on Nov. 22, are 8-0 at home, but only two of those wins came against Division I opponents (1-1 ATS).

These teams met last year for the first time since 2001, and the Sooners rolled to an 83-72 victory as a four-point home favorite. Going back to 1998, Oklahoma is 5-0 SU and ATS against Arkansas.

Both squads can fill the bucket, with the Sooners averaging 78.7 ppg on 47.4 percent shooting, while the Razorbacks net 81 ppg (46.7 percent). Oklahoma gives up 63.2 ppg (37.9 percent), slightly better than Arkansas, which yields 66.4 ppg (41.5 percent).

Oklahoma is 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS on the highway this year, but the Sooners are just 16-36-2 ATS in their last 54 road games and 1-10 ATS in their last 11 contests on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Arkansas is mired in pointspread funks of 3-14 versus the Big 12, 1-6-1 on Tuesday and 1-5 when coming off a victory of more than 20 points, but the Hogs have cashed in four of their last five versus winning teams.

The over is 10-4-1 in Oklahoma’s last 15 non-conference contests and 5-1 in its last six on Tuesday, but the under is 7-1-1 in its past nine lined roadies. For Arkansas, the under is 9-4 in its last 13 games on Tuesday, but otherwise the over is on streaks of 4-1 overall and 5-1 against the Big 12.

ATS ADVANTAGE: OKLAHOMA
