Strike Point Sports Picks For College Basketball
3-Unit Play. #543 Take San Diego State -1 over TCU (3 pm)
The Aztecs will keep it going in league play, 6-2 so far, and look to continue a push for the Big Dance. San Diego State has won the last five meetings, while TCU has struggled of late, dropping four straight and seven of its last ten games overall. It will be a balanced attack for the Aztecs, but Kyle Spain and Lorenzo Wade will lead the charge in a winning effort.
3-Unit Play. #545 Take Houston -1 over Tulane (3 pm)
A very strong 17-4, we'll see this Cougars team in March. Houston is 6-1 in C-USA play and have really stepped up on the road of late, going 6-2 ATS in their last eight away from home. I love the way this Cougs team plays, an up-and-down frenzy, looking for as many possessions as possible. Rob McKiver is an impressive scorer from the perimeter, but just the same, Dion Dowell and Lanny Smith give this team balance. Houston can have five guys in double figures in scorers with its strong offensive game. They'll get the job done over the Green Wave in this one.
3-Unit Play. #565 Take George Mason -135 over Old Dominion (4 pm)
The Patriots know that road games on the CAA are no easy task, however George Mason needs this game to stay just one game back of VCU in the conference standings. In the first meeting back in late January, the Patriots throttled the Monarchs by 33. Not enough has changed to keep George Mason from a series sweep and its tenth league win of the season. They cash as the road favorite.
2-Unit Play. #587 Take Utah -2.5 over Air Force (6 pm)
The Utes held serve when the Falcons came to town and took care of business via a 22-point win. Utah is the better team and here we'll see that by leaving Colordo Springs with a win over the Air Force. We cashed with Utah earlier this week over UNLV, and they'll make it another winner, this time on the road.
4-Unit Play. #617 Take Wright State -135 over Youngstown State (7 pm)
The Raiders are on a roll, winners of seven straight to reach a much more appealing 8-4 Horizon league mark. Wright State has won nine of the last ten meetings, going 7-2-1 ATS in the last ten vs. the Penguins. They keep this one-sided series in their favor.

Georgetown vs. Louisville (NCAAB) - 9:00 PM EST Premium Play
Pick: Point Spread: 3/-101 Georgetown Play Title: Big East GAME of the YEAR
Pick Analysis
Georgetown looks to maintain its grip on first place in the 16-team Big East when it visits Louisville in an important league battle. he Hoyas carry a six-game winning streak into this contest, including consecutive double-digit home wins over Seton Hall last Saturday (73-61) and South Florida on Tuesday (63-53). However, Georgetown, which leads the Big East with a 9-1 record, failed to cash in both contests, and is just 4-6 ATS in conference. The Hoyas went to Freedom Hall last year and won 73-65 as a one-point road favorite in the first meeting between the schools since 2000. G-Town has too much size and will dominate on the boards in rebounding. Take the 3 points as a gift as Georgetown Wins.

Boise State vs. New Mexico State (NCAAB) - 7:00 PM EST Premium Play
Pick: Point Spread: 4/-105 Boise State Play Title: Wac Game of the Year
Pick Analysis
WERE ON BOISE ST. + 4 @ NEW MEXICO ST AS OUR WAC GAME OF THE YEAR SATURDAY NIGHT . We're red hot & we feel that the public will fade the Boise St Cowboys who have been brutal on the road in past years, Not US We love the Broncos in this spot later today. Led by the senior duo of Reggie Larry & Matt Nelson, The offensive minded Broncos are 17 - 5 overall and 8 - 2 in conference, one game back of Utah St. and one game ahead of New Mexico St. Looking @ New Mexico St the lack of senior leadership will prove to be the difference in this WAC battle as we will play the Boise State Cowboys They are ATS: 6 - 1 last 7 road games & ATS as an underdog: 5 - 1 l 6 We see an out right winner here Saturday Night PLAY BOISE STATE

Marquette vs. Notre Dame (NCAAB) - 12:00 PM EST Premium Play
Pick: Point Spread: 5/-102 Marquette Play Title:
Pick Analysis
Pick on MARQUETTE Marquette, which had its three-game winning streak snapped in embarrassing fashion on Monday, looks to get rolling again when it travels to Big East rival Notre Dame, which hopes to avenge a blowout loss to the Golden Eagles earlier this season. Marquette routed Notre Dame 92-66 last month laying 6½ points at home, moving to 3-1 the last four in this series (2-2 ATS). ND just does not matchup well again Marquette and I see another tight game and we'll take the 5 points with the Underdog.

Indiana State vs. Wichita State (NCAAB) - 8:00 PM EST Free Play
Pick: Point Spread: 4.5/-104 Indiana State Play Title: Free Pick
Pick Analysis
Indiana State -- This is more of a play against the Shockers as it is a play on the Sycamores. Wichita State has been brutal with these less than impressive numbers. 4-10 ATS last 14 as home faves, 10-26 ATS vs Missouri Valley teams and 6-18 ATS last 24 as favorites. Add in more of the same 2-7 ATS last 9 and 1-5 ATS last 6 and on principal we have to take the points here even though Indiana State won't win any beauty pageants with their recent 1-5 ATS road and overall numbers.
Doc's Sports Picks For College Basketball
4 Unit Play. #558 Take Michigan -4 ½ over Penn State
We all realize that this is a play against Penn State, as they have won just won game since Claxton went down with an injury. This is a must win game for Michigan and they will take out their frustrations on a Lion team that has already thrown in the towel.
4 Unit Play. #579 Take Vanderbilt +3 over South Carolina
Vandy still does not get much respect on the road and we will continue to pound them when they play bad teams and are getting points. Carolina is coming off an impressive road victory against Mississippi, but they have five home losses already this season. Vandy is starting to shoot it better and that should allow them to build upon their two straight victories and make it three in a row.
6 Unit Play. #592 Take Nevada -10 over Hawaii
Nevada is coming off a dominating performance against San Jose on Thursday, winning that game by 38 points. Hawaii is not much better then that Spartan team, as they only beat them by 1 point in Honolulu. They have been off for a week and expect the rust to become evident making the long flight into the states. Nevada has already won in Hawaii by 18 points and have beaten the Warriors in four straight games. Hawaii is just 2-4 on the road and traditionally never plays that well in the states. Nevada was able to rest most of their players during the second half on Thursday and thus they will be fresh for this mid afternoon tilt.
4 Unit Play. #621 Take Mid Tennessee State +1 over Florida International
A simple look at the conference record leads one to conclude that the Raiders are the much better team in this tilt and it does not matter that the game is being played in Miami. State has dominated this series winning 13 of 17 meetings and picked up a nine point victory against the Golden Panthers earlier this season.
4 Unit Play. #639 Take Bradley +6 over Illinois State
The Redbirds suffered a bad beat to Drake on Wednesday and thus expect a letdown effect to occur with this encounter with the Braves on Saturday night. Bradley continues to move up the standing in the Missouri Valley Conference having won six straight games and that streak includes a victory over the Redbirds. The winner of this game will likely get the No. #2 seed in the conference tournament and expect this one to go down to the wire with Daniel Ruffin coming up big again.
4 Unit Play. #645 Take Baylor +17 over Kansas
This is a similar number to what the Jayhawks saw against Missouri and they had trouble covering that number. Baylor is a much better team then Missou and has great quickness at the guard position. They are 4-1 away from Waco with their only loss coming by single digits to Texas. Kansas will pull away late, but it will not get anywhere close to tonight’s inflated number, as Baylor has the athletes to score points.
4 Unit Play. #653 Take Northern Iowa +4 over Missouri State
The Panthers will bounce back in a big way on Saturday and we will collect in the process. The Bears play well at the Hammons Center, but NIU already has five road victories this season. They have also won eight of the last 11 meetings between the schools and that includes a 15-point victory earlier this season. Expect a closer game on Saturday but it will still fall the way of the visitor.
4 Unit Play. #659 Take Purdue +10 over Wisconsin
Way too many points to be laying for the home squad as first place in the Big Ten Conference is on the line. Both teams play a slow down style of offense and this game may not get out of the fifties. Purdue already has three road victories this season and the Kohl Center is not that intimidating of a place considering it is so big; it is hard to get really loud and in your face. Purdue also has dominated this series, winning 99 of the 161 lifetime meetings and you can expect a close game that goes down to the wire and we get the cover with whomever comes out on top.

Kentucky over Alabama 80-64
The Wildcats are back to playing solid basketball. They certainly have the talent, with star guard Joe Crawford and the size to match Alabama. Alabama is a solid team, but they struggle on the road. This is a must-win for Kentucky if they want to get back into the hunt for an NCAA tournament bid.
