Confidential Tip-Off (CTO)
*OREGON STATE over Oregon...Maybe OSU HC Craig Robinson doesn’t have to bother to ask brother-in-law Barack Obama about any federal bailout assistance for Beaver hoopsters, who completed first road sweep of Bay Area schools in 16 years last week. And there’s not much comparison in respective chemistries of these old rivals, especially with Oregon continuing to deteriorate. OSU’s sticky 1-3-1 zone well-designed to flummox undisciplined Duck gunners, while percolating soph G Haynes and versatile 6-11 frontliner Schaftenaar (who can float to perimeter) proving nice fits for Robinson’s Princeton-style attack.

MISSISSIPPI vs MISSISSIPPI STATE
Take MISSISSIPPI STATE
SEC GAME OF THE YEAR! Home cookin' has been big in this SEC rivalry, with the host winning and covering each of the last six meetings. Mississippi State has been especially dominant when entertaining the Rebels. I figured to be on the Bulldogs in this game to begin with, but the selection became much stronger off the Ole Miss shocker vs. Kentucky. That was a monster national TV win for a team that's had all kinds of injury issues, along with the well publicized off the court issues for their coach. I doubt the beleaguered Rebels can summon up another big effort here and I like Mississippi State to score the blowout win today.
MIAMI OHIO vs EASTERN MICHIGAN
Take MIAMI OHIO
MISMATCH OF THE YEAR! I can't see anything other than a lopsided Miami win here. The RedHawks are always tenacious on defense and Eastern Michigan is one of the least efficient offensive teams in the country. Miami has no problem playing on the road and they've already had some blowout victories on enemy floors this season. Miami has also thoroughly dominated this opponent at this site, covering each of their last seven visits to EMU. Finally, the hapless Eagles just suspended one of their better players for the rest of the season. This has all the earmarks of a 20-25 point crush job, and I'm laying the number with Miami.
WRIGHT STATE vs CLEVELAND STATE
Take WRIGHT STATE
HORIZON GAME OF THE YEAR! Wright State was my pre-season pick to win the Horizon. That looks dicey as Butler has once again emerged as the class of the league, but the Raiders are definitely the best of the rest in my view. They overcame the loss of their best player without missing a beat and Wright State has been an absolute monster under Brad Brownell as underdogs. The number here is inflated due to Cleveland State having the revenge motive. There's no question the Vikings will be fired up for this and they do have a substantial home court edge. But I rate this game as very much a tossup and there's no way I can resist taking what looks like an overly generous number with Wright State.

1500♦ Wake Forest Demon Deacons
Even laying points on the road I like Wake Forest as there is not much hope for Georgia Tech today. Not when the Yellow Jackets have only covered once in their last 10 games and still sit winless in league play at 0-6, including their 0-3 SU/ATS record in home league games. One particular home loss that stands out is the Yellow Jackets 14 point loss to Duke who just loss at Wake Forest by 2 points in a game the Demon Deacons dominated most of the way. Even worst news for Tech will be the fact that Wake Forest will be looking to exact revenge after losing their last four times to Tech in Atlanta. Meanwhile, for Wake Forest they are not only good, but there are red hot thanks to their 17-1 straight up record on the season where they have won by an average of 17 points per game. Plus, for the Demon Deacons they are perfect on the highway this season at 5-0 straight up, including a pair of double digit road wins in league play with wins at Boston College and Clemson. Flat out unless Wake Forest has a major let down they will win by at least 15 points against the worst team in the league due to the huge gap in talent between the two teams. Well don’t expect any kind of let down from the Demon Deacons today as their talent alone will carry them to an easy win.
Lay the points.
500♦ Utah Utes
Bonus action I like the Utes minus the small chalk as they continue to dominate at home. The same Utah team that has come alive at home by winning their last six games at home with key wins over BYU, LSU, Wyoming and Gonzaga outright to name a few. Well enter the Lobos today and the Utes 7th straight home victim as Utah host a weak traveling New Mexico team that has lost 4 of 7 games away from the PIT including setbacks at UNLV, SDSU and Texas Tech. Well if you ask me Utah is a much tougher place to play then the previous mentioned stops for the Lobos. So behind the talented from line of Utah I look for the much small Lobos to struggle in the Beehive State as the Utes run away late for the cover win at home. All Utah minus the small home chalk!
We Cover Spreads
Providence+13
This is the same cast of players for the most part that upset UConn twice last season. UConn has struggled with Providence for some reason losing the past 3 meetings, two in Storrs and one in Providence. Providence is coming off a game where they were a favorite vs. Syracuse but the public was pounding 'Cuse still, they ended up beating them 100-94. Providence is our "Cinderella" of the Big East this season. We have our eyes on them for awhile now. They had to adjust to a coaching staff and now seem to be clicking. They are a team comprised of many experienced Seniors and Juniors.They also have a talented sophomore Marshon Brooks averaging 13ppg right now. They are a very deep team in the paint and can rotate a lot of bodies in their to stay fresh vs. UConn. They have a solid backcourt with Brooks and Sharuag Curry, and Jeff Xavier. This team if Coach Keno Davis can keep them all on the same page and keep everyone happy with minutes can really be a threat in March. Not many teams can match their deep rotation of scoring threats. UConn is just 1-5 ATS as a double digit favorite this season. We think this line is about 4 or 5 points too high. It should be about 8 or 9, can Providence pull off their 4th straight upset vs UConn? We shall see, but we think they shouldn't have a problem covering today.
Oklahoma-9.5
We know Iowa St. has usually played the Sooners tight as of late and they are pretty solid on their home court. They are led by a 6'10 230 Soph Craig Brackins who is averaging 19ppg and 9 rebounds who is going to give Blake Griffin a run for his money today. Besides Brackins there is no other double digit scorer on the team. Guard Diante Garret is averaging 9ppg and Lucca Staiger is averaging 8ppg and is a good 3 point shooter. Iowa St. doesn't have a compliment to Brackins in the paint after losing Rashon Clark and Jiri Hubalek to graduation. Nobody else has stepped up in the paint. Once this line jumped below 10 our eyes lit up. We think the Sooners should win by about 12. Kansas just came in here and beat them by 15. As long as this spreads stays below 10 we love it. LVSC opened it up at Sooners-11 and hasn't budged while offshore books continue to drop.
Richmond+11
This is a lot of chalk for Temple to lay against a pretty good Richmond team. Richmond is coming off a tough loss to St.Joesph's and Temple a tough loss to Rhode Island. We like this Richmond team in this spot with this many points. They are a scrappy group. This is the same team that lost only 5 to Syracuse and 7 to #1Wake Forest. Their backcourt David Gonzalvez and Kevin Anderson combine for just under 30PPG. They have a solid forward 6'9 Justin Harper who is averaging 11PPG and shooting 40% from beyond the arc. Richmond has the talent to hang with this Temple team. When these two teams met last year Richmond won by 6 as a 3 point dog. Take Richmond and the points

PURDUE -12
Pre-game Comment: This goes in the category of "if it looks too good to be true it probably is". Really, at first glance the points just look took too easy especially because Purdue is a little banged up. However, I am not taking the bait! Here is the bottom line! UM has struggled on the road this year and in recent years going 11-29 in their L40. UM's defense is suspect and they are offensively-challenged which is not good when you are facing one of the best defensive teams in the nation and on the road. UM is not a team that is going to beat Purdue - only Purdue can beat Purdue today! So long as the Boilermakers take care of the ball and execute efficiently they will win convincingly! I say they do!
GEORGETOWN +6
Pre-game Comment: I have gone against Georgetown with success this season citing they are just an average team. However, today is the day I'm jumping back on the bandwagon! First, let's ask ourselves WHY is this line ONLY 6 - considering that Marquette is at home and riding a 10 game win streak while the Hoyas are riding a 4 game losing streak? Here is how I see it. Marquette is ranked in the top 10 but of all top 10 teams is probably the worst. I don't place much stock in their current 18-2 record because they have benefited from a relatively easy schedule so far. The fact is they are now entering the toughest part of their schedule and will struggle against teams with good post-up players - and Georgetown fits that bill. Look for the Hoyas to get back to basics and fundamentals and through an aggressive style of play fight and claw their way back into the win column!
BAYLOR +7
Pre-game Comment: It is tough for me to pass up these points today knowing that Baylor has covered 8 straight against Mizzou and the dog is also 7-1 ATS L8 meetings. Baylor is coming off B2B losses against Oklahoma and Texas and fell out of the top 25 as a result. Today I look for them to get back on track with a very balanced attack - all 5 starters average double digits. Despite their 17-4 overall record Mizzou has yet to impress me. And apparently they don't impress the pollsters either as they have yet to receive a top 25 ranking. My power rankings actually have the Bears as a small fave and I will not ignore it! The only reason in my opinion that this line is where it is at is because Mizzou is a perfect 13-0 at home, however, I will point out to an average to below-average schedule. I'm taking Baylor!

Wisconsin Badgers @ Northwestern Wildcats
Pick: 5 units Northwestern Wildcats -1 (POD)
This is a 5* and 5 Unit Play. We have done great in College basketball this month. We sit at 69 units of total profit for the month so this along with our NBA Selection will put as +78 for the close of this month if I happen to sweep similar to Friday. It would be nice to go 9-0 in Big 10 GOM lifetime and 28-7 with 5* selections. We'll see what holds today. As per this game, why do people continue to think that Wisconsin is so great. Yes, they were great in the past. But, that is simply not the case this year. Look, this team, comes off losing 5 straight contests in Big 10 play. They lost to Iowa on the road in overtime, Purdue at home in a tight 1 point contest, Minnesota at home in overtime, Illinois on the road and lost to Purdue on the road by 13. Certainly, this team can bounce-back. But, if that was the case, would they not have bounced-back against Purdue on the road? Yes, Wisconsin drilled this team in an ugly fashion 74-45 at home. Well, now, it's Northwestern's turn to return the favor. Look, do you know that Michigan State has lost one conference game all year long? Michigan State is the best team in the conference in many ways and they have one loss this year. Do you know who that is too? You got it, Northwestern. Now, did this team lost to NW on the road? No, the Spartans lost to Northwestern at home. That's right. This Northwestern team went on the highway and did something that not even tpo 25 ranked Illinois or any of the other teams were unable to do - defeat Michigan State at home. Then, this team defeats Minneosta relatively easily at home - the same team Wisconsin los to at home in OT. Wisconsin is a good defensive team but they simply lack firepower currently. Northwestern had a tight ball game against Indiana who is beginning to get much better, and they were also looking ahead to this game. They want revenge against Wisconsin badly for not only their first loss of the season, but also because of last year's season sweep from the hands of the Badgers. So, we have revenge from this season, we have revenge from last season's sweep, we have a team that defeated Minnesota, lost to Purdue at home by just a bucket and beat Michigan State on the road that will be fired up in a night time game on television against Wisconsin. NW takes the cake here today. Badgers are 1-4 ATS as a favorite in their last 5 and the Badgers are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 against the Big 10.
