Saturday Daytime College Opinion
Notre Dame (+2 1/2) over VILLANOVA
Notre Dame is a better team than Villanova and the good Irish 3-point shooters (40.6%) match up well against a Wildcats’ defense that has allowed opponents plenty of wide open looks from beyond the arc (39.3% 3-pointers allowed). Notre Dame has a good track record as an underdog or pick away from home under coach Mike Brey (39-20-2 ATS) and the only time that the Irish have not been good in that role is when they are off 2 or more victories and are susceptible to a letdown. Notre Dame is 21-4-2 ATS as an underdog in road or neutral games if not off consecutive victories. Villanova, meanwhile, has not been as good under coach Jay Wright when Wright has 2 or fewer days off to prepare his team (48-32-1 ATS after 3 or more days off, 38-38-3 ATS with 2 or less days off between games), or in conference games (50-50-2 ATS in conference, 39-21-2 ATS non-conference), or as a favorite (49-51-2 ATS favorite, 39-20-2 ATS dog or pick). Wright’s team is just 8-21-1 ATS in conference games as a favorite with 2 or fewer days off, including 0-13 ATS recently. The overrated Wildcats are just 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games and my ratings make this game a pick. My only concern is that the Irish are 0-2 ATS in true road games this season, losing those games by 26 points and 19 points. However, Villanova is a huge step down from Marquette and Georgetown and Notre Dame’s history of good road play suggests that those poor road performances were most likely a fluke. I’ll lean with Notre Dame as an underdog in this game.

2-Unit Play. Take Gonzaga (+12.5) over Memphis
Way too many points to be laying here. Gonzaga has been tested in the nonconference and they are even better now than the team that lost by four at Oklahoma and lost by 10 to Tennessee. Now that Josh Heytvelt and Steven Gray are back and playing effectively for the Zags they capable of going into Memphis and really testing the Tigers. This line is about four or five points heavy. Love the value and look for the Zags to threaten for the upset

Scott Spreitzer's 25* Matchup Mismatch! 75-33, 69%
Guaranteed Pick: Scott Spreitzer
Game: SE Missouri St. at Murray St.
Prediction: Murray St.
Reason: I'm laying the points with Murray State on Saturday. I truly believe the linesmaker has missed this one by a decent margin. These two met on January 7, and the Racers wiped the floor with host SEMO, 79-51! That was the second win in Murray State's current 6-game win streak. MSU held SEMO to a 25-percent shooting night...again on the host's home floor. And, the Redhawks were healthy for that contest, something they are not for this one. Forward Brandon Foust, the team's second leading scorer & rebounder is out for the season due to a knee injury. He played in the first meeting, yet MSU out-rebounded SEMO, 46-38. In that game, Foust was one of just two Redhawks to score in double-digits and he led his team with 12 boards. They'll badly miss him in the rematch. SEMO has dropped five in a row, allowing a hefty, 85.2 points per game, while scoring just 72.4, themselves. Now, without one of their best players on the floor, the Redhawks will again face a red-hot Murray State team that pushes the tempo, scoring 81.7 PPG during the 6-game run. The Racers predicate their offense with an incredibly intense, in your face style of defense. Over the last five outings, MSU has held the opposition to just 64.4 PPG, winning by an average margin of more than 15 PPG! And, while the bench has shortened for SEMO, Murray State has seen 10 players appear in at least 16 of their 18 games. Eight of those players are averaging OVER 17 minutes played per contest. The Racers crushed the Redhawks on the road by 28 points in early January. I would be surprised if the final margin doesn't come close to that number again. Murray State is my 25* Matchup Mismatch. Thanks! GL! Scott.
Scott Spreitzer's Conf Game Of The Year! 3-0, 100%
Guaranteed Pick: Scott Spreitzer
Game: Virginia Tech at Boston College
Prediction: Boston College
Reason: My ACC Game of the Year is a play on Boston College, minus points. Robert Morris, in a sense, did Boston College a favor when they upset the Eagles on their home floor. The team came together in a players-only meeting and slammed Wake Forest and a ranked Miami squad in their next two home games. BC lost on the road in their most recent outing, but losing on the ACC highway is nothing to be ashamed of. Now, they have had a full week to regroup and they're at home where they average almost 74 PPG. One of the big keys to BC's conference season is the development of freshman guard Rakim Sanders (12.3 PPG, 4.5 RPG). He has forced teams to spread out on defense, rather than being able to focus on star guard and leading scorer Tyrese Rice. The Eagles are also tough to prepare for due to the fact that they're one of the few teams that owns a "true" starting five. The Eagles offer a pair of starting guards, two forwards, and a true big man in the middle in 6'11 shot-block specialist Tyrelle Blair. Making matters worse, the offensively anemic Hokies have had just 48-hours to prepare following their emotionally and physically draining home loss to Duke. Va Tech is horrible from the field and now face a team that has completely clamped down on the defensive end on their home floor both inside (Blair) and on the perimeter. This is simply a flat-out bad matchup and spot for the visitor, who has dropped five straight in this venue. I believe Boston College will have little trouble in this situation and I look for a 15-to-17 point win. Boston College is my ACC Game of the Year. Thanks! GL! Scott.
