SOUTH ALABAMA over *Florida International ...Now that veteran, smooth-functioning So. Alabama (lofty RPI of 24) has put itself in position for possible NCAA-at-large berth following its upset at Western Kentucky, the Jaguars unlikely to suffer a damaging slip-up vs. mistakeprone Golden Panthers (18 TOs pg), especially recalling USA’s 69-67 upset loss at FIU last year. Jags’ 6-4 sr. star Bennett is primed for encore performance after 30 pts., 5 rebs. & 2 steals in earlier 12-pt. home victory. Smart-shooting USA (47% FGs; 71% FTs) would have won by wider margin had Jags not missed an uncharacteristic 12 of 28 foul shots.
SOUTH ALABAMA 82 - *Florida International 63 RATING - 11
*BUTLER over Detroit (Day Game)...The spirit might be willing, but the flesh is too weak. So it goes for Detroit, which finally appears to be down for the count after recent injuries to high-scoring G Goode and backcourt mate Payne. Along with midseason leave of absence taken by HC Watson, and preseason dismissal of last year’s top scorer Cotton, the Titans are left with a shell of a team, confirmed by heavy Bracket Buster home defeat inflicted by MAC also-ran Bowling Green. Meanwhile, NCAA-bound Butler motivated to send 4 srs. out as winners in final reg.-season home game, and deep Bulldog bench can extend margin.
*BUTLER 71 - Detroit 44 RATING - 10
ILLINOIS-CHICAGO over *Wisconsin-Milwaukee...Long season taking its toll on UW-Milwaukee, which is down to 10 players (possibly 9 if F Skinner out with leg injury suffered Feb. 25 vs. Valpo) after 4 left the program in Dec. (including G Torre Johnson, who had 30 pts. in first meeting TY). Defensively-stiffening UIC (allowing just 56 ppg last 6) should sweep series and build momentum for Horizon tourney. Panthers had no answer for Flames’ burgeoning G Mayo (17 ppg, 50% treys; 29 pts. in first tilt), while more-aggressive 7-0 jr. C VanderMeer (league-best 7.5 rpg) will be a problem in paint for undersized Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
ILLINOIS-CHICAGO 67 - *Wisconsin-Milwaukee 59 RATING - 10

1 Unit on Colorado -3
I like the Buffs at home laying a small number against an Iowa State team which is a pathetic 2-9 on the road this season. While the Buffs are just 2-11 in Big 12 play, they are 9-4 ATS. Colorado has won 8 of its last 10 home games against the Cyclones and is 6-4 ATS in those games. Iowa State took it to Colorado in Ames, but you'll see the Buffs get their revenge at home here today. Colorado is 15-5 ATS in home games revenging a loss where they scored less than 60 points since 1997 and 8-2 ATS on Saturday games this season. The Buffaloes realize that this is its best chance to get a win the rest of the way out and its their last home game of the season. Colorado will leave it all on the floor and come away victorious. Lay the points.

Seton Hall vs. ST John's
Play: Seton Hall
Seton Hall has struggled against good teams this season (1-8 SU), but the Pirates are a solid 16-3 SU when facing a team not ranked in the Sagarin Top 50. St. Johns definitely qualifies as a weak opponent today as the Red Storm are 4-11 SU in conference games this season, and they are currently 0-5 SU (1-4 ATS) in their past five games overall.
Meanwhile, Seton Hall is in excellent current form with back-to-back conference wins in which they shot 52% and 51% from the field. Seton Hall’s main problem this season has been a lack of defense, but this will less of an issue today versus a terrible St. Johns offense that averages just 57.9 points per game and shoots just 38.2% FG in conference games.
These are two teams heading in opposite directions and the value lies with the underdog.

Take "Over"
Orlando is a strong offensive team because they like the uptempo style, averaging 104 ppg at home. The Knicks have been a strong offensive team of late because they don’t play any defense! NY is on an 8-0 run over the total playing matador defense allowing lay up after lay up. In fact, they are 19-9 over the total on the road. Don’t look for any defense, play the Knicks/Magic over the total

At 8:30 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Milwaukee Bucks plus the points over San Antone, as Milwaukee has played the Spurs better than any other team since the Spurs won their first championship in 1999. Over the past nine seasons, Milwaukee is 10-7 SU and 13-4 ATS vs. the Spurs. This season, the Bucks are a solid 10-4 ATS as a home underdog, including 6-1 vs. foes with a win percentage of .666 or better. Take Larry Krystkowiak's Bucks.

I look for the Sun Devils to bounce back from a blowout defeat at home, where they have been very good all year, in this one. ASU is 12-4 at home this season and will be anxious to wash the taste of a poor performance against UCLA out of its mouth here, especially against a team which beat them the first time around this season. ASU is 11-3 ATS in home games revenging a loss where they scored less than 60 points over the last 2 seasons. The Sun Devils are 8-1 ATS in home games versus very good shooting teams - making >=48% of their shots over the last 3 seasons and 6-0 ATS in home games versus good defensive teams - shooting pct defense of <=42% after 15+ games over the last 3 seasons. Take Arizona State to bounce back here.

Pitt (+2') at SYRACUSE
The Pitt Panthers reigned victorious earlier in the season when they got together with Syracuse. Today I feel they get another win, or at least keep this one to possibly a one-point game.
I have been impressed all year with the 20-8 Panthers, who have been dismantled by injuries all year. Despite the injuries the Panthers have still been able to maintain the impressive overall mark listed above by other players stepping up and stepping in. It just goes to show what kind of heart and talent this Pitt team is made up of.
Syracuse I do not trust at all as they have been inconsistant all season long, and their last 10 overall results prove it, as they have dropped six of their last 10, winning a couple, then losing a couple. The Panthers after dropping three straight found themselves back in the win column after last time out against Cincy. Yes you can argue that the Panthers have dropped five of their last 10, but they have unlike Cuse been consisitent. Remember folks Pitt has only eight losses on the year, including these recent five.
I don't call this inconsistent I call it a slump, and I feel they came out of it last time out, and think they will climb further out today against this Orange team.

West Virginia (+5') at UCONN
UCONN has been pretty good as of late, after getting off to somewhat a sluggish start to the season. Point is however I still don not trust them to cover a line, and their 11-12-1 ATS on the year should be proof enough, but if it is not how about their 4-9 ATS mark over their last 13 Saturday games.
West Virginia comes in at 20-8 overall, and have slumped some over their last 10, but have managed a not to bad 12-9-1 ATS on the season. today I expect them to keep this one close and make it very interesting at the end.
The Mounties match up well versus this UCONN team both on the offensive and defensive end of the court in points per game scored and allowed.
Play WVa to stay close

Duke -10' at NC STATE
Last night, my third in a row Free Pick winner, with Golden State in an absolute blowout over the 76ers. Today Duke will be just as easy!
The talent level in these two teams is evident in their records and home court will not make a difference. This is a trend and angle lock in support of the Blue Devils, as they are on a 5-1 ATS run in this series.
Duke has covered the spread five of the last six games against a winning team and they are on a 7-3-2 ATS run the game after a win. NC State has failed to cover the number in six straight ACC games. They are 2-8 ATS the last 10 home games when listed as the underdog and they have covered only seven of the last 28 games played.
This will be an absolute blowout

West Virginia at UCONN -4'
The New Orleans Hornets in the bank last night as my NBA Free Pick. That's three in a row Freebies. I've got the Inside Edge on the Odds.
It's tough to beat UConn when they are at home. This season the Huskies are 14-1 at home, including 7-1 in Hartford. West Virginia, under the direction of Bob Huggins, won at DePaul on Wednesday, for the fourth win in five games. The Mountaineers are at 20-wins for the season and probably heading to the Big Dance, but they will not be able to stay with UConn this afternoon.
West Virginia has lost all six visits to Connecticut and they are 3-11 overall in this series. The favorite has covered four of the last five games between these two teams. The Mountaineers are 1-4 ATS the last five games versus a winning team. UConn has done just the opposite against quality opponents, going 5-1-1 ATS the last seven games versus a team with a better than .600 record.
This will be a double-digit win and easy cover for UConn!

Texas A&M at OKLAHOMA
Texas A&M got their ya-yas out after losing 3 in a row, as they pounded Texas Tech 98-54 earlier this week. Look for that romp to have a carry over effect as the Aggies visit the slumping Sooners.
Oklahoma has had an offensive outtage, as the Sooners have been held to a measly 45 points over their last two games. Not surprisingly, OU has dropped both of those games, as they have now lost 5 of their last 8 games overall. Included is a 60-52 loss at College Station back on February 2nd, as A&M ran their series winning streak to 3 straight, while covering in the last pair.
Overall, Texas A&M has covered 20 of their last 29 on the highway, while Oklahoma is just 3-10 against the spread their last 13 games, and a money-burning 10-25-2 ATS their last 37 in conference play!
Have to go with Texas A&M in this spot, as OU's late season swoon continues.

Wake Forest +4' at GEORGIA TECH
While many are calling the Deacons win over Duke a "fluke," underestimate this Wake Forest team at your own risk, as consecutive losses at North Carolina and Maryland are nothing to be ashamed about. In fact, Wake is playing great basketball right now, they just happened to match up against three of the ACC's best over their last 3 games.
Oppurtunities abound for the Deacons in this one, as Georgia Tech is struggling mightily right now, losers of 5 straight (1-4 ATS) and playing like it. Wondering who the last team they beat was? You guesses it, Wake Forest, at home no less, which means some serious payback is in order this afternoon.
In their last meeting, Wake guards Teague and Smith combined for 11 turnovers in an overall sloppy effort for the Deacons, but that was without G L.D. Williams in the lineup. Expect them to take much better care of the basketball this afternoon with their floor leader running the show.
Let's look at the numbers, as the underdog is a solid 9-3 ATS over their last 12 meetings. Not only that, but Wake Forest is 8-3 ATS over their last 11 games overall. As mentioned above, the Yellow Jackets are struggling ATS of late, and are vulnerable against a Deacons squad that has plenty of motivation to win here.
Bottom line, look for Wake to take advantage of a sputtering Yellow Jackets squad in this one. Its a perfect oppurtunity to not only revenge their earlier loss this season, but also an outside chance to impress the Selection Committee, if they can pull off the upset, which is entirely possible. We'll take the points, and in the end, the Deacons grabs the cash!
Take Wake Forest plus the points over Georgia Tech in this ACC match up.

Massachusetts -3 at RHODE ISLAND
The Minutemen are playing some sizzling basketball right now, and as well as Richmond has been playing of late, we will back UMass in this Atlantic 10 battle.
Richmond is 5-2 straight up their last 7 games, and they are a positive 6-3-1 against the spread at home this season, but Massachusetts can counter with a 3-game win and cover streak coming into this roadie, and a very profitable 8-4 spread mark away from Amherst this campaign.
At 18-9, it is more likely the Minutemen would garner an at-large Big Dance bid, and another road win here would look quite nice on their season resume.
These schools have yet to play this season, but in their last meeting, it was Massachusetts that won a 72-56 laugher at home in 2007.
Things are going too well right now for Travis Ford's team, and we like UMass to come away with a road win tonight against the Spiders.
Play on the Minutemen.

Hit nine of our last 13 complimentary plays and today we've got a FREE play coming on Stanford as the Cardinal hosts Washington State in a Pac-10 conference showdown from Northern California.
Both these teams have been on a roll lately with the Cougars winning five of their last six and the Cardinal winning nine of their last 10. But today we're going to lay the chalk with the home team and play Stanford in this one. The Cardinal will get the job done in this battle for second place in the Pac-10.
The home team is 10-4-1 ATS in the last 15 head-to-head matchups between these two and in the first matchup the Cardinal went to Washington State and got a 67-65 OT victory as four-point underdogs.
Stanford is 4-1 ATS in the last five against Washington State and the Cardinal average 73.4 points a game on the home court.
Washington State relies on its defense to get the job done but they don't have the bigs to handle the Lopez twins. Stanford has the size and can make the things tough on the Cougars' offense. Let's go ahead and lay the chalk with the Cardinal.

Let's go ahead and lay the chalk with the Spurs tonight as they seem to be in one of their classic second-half of the season stretches where they do everything right. They're basically gettin ready for the playoffs by beating everybody.
San Antonio has won seven straight and nine of the last 10 (6-4 ATS) and come in off a a 97-94 home win over the Mavericks on Thursday, failing to cover as five-opint chalk. The Spurs have won five of six on the road and they are giving up just 84.2 points per game and 39.9 percent shooting in the last five overall.
Milwaukee is giving up 111.2 points a game in their last five games and allowing 47.2 percent shooting. The Bucks are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine Saturday games while the Spurs are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 tip-offs on Saturdays.
The Spurs have also posted a 7-3 ATS mark against Central Division teams.
There is all kinds of talk in Milwaukee about who will and who won't be there next season, so there is a little turmoil there. San Antonio is getting playoff ready. Let's lay the chalk and play the Spurs tonight as they continue on the roll they've been on the last three-plus weeks.

Kansas State at Kansas
Kansas State (18-9, 8-5 Big 12) suffered its first conference loss at Bramlage Coliseum Monday, falling 65-74 to the Longhorns. Another huge night by 6'10" 235 freshman F Michael Beasley (26.2p, 12.6r, 1.3a, 37 steals, 42 blocks) was offset by a lack of offensive support from his teammates and more of the poor perimeter defense that has plagued the Wildcats throughout their 3-5 slump. Beasley racked up his NCAA freshman record 24th double/double with 30 points and 15 boards, nailing 10 of his 21 shots from the field, while the rest of 1st-year Head Coach Frank Martin's crew managed just 12 makes in 46 shots, with the worst offender being 6'6" 220 freshman F Bill Walker (16.2p, 6.7r, 1.9a), who followed up his 31-point performance at Baylor with a crippling 0-14 game from the field and a single, pitiful point. The Kansas State Guard corps of 6'1" freshman Jacob Pullen (10.3p, 1.6r, 3.3a, 36 of 11 from 3-point), 6'2" senior Blake Young (6.2p, 3.3r, 2.0a, 25 of 78 from 3-point), 6'4" senior Clent Stewart (7.1p, 3.1r, 3.0a, 27 of 86 from 3-point), and 6'3" freshman Fred Brown (4.4p, 1.4r, 1.4a, 18 of 48 from 3-point) are each decent ball-handlers and offensive contributors, but were bombed again from behind the arc by Texas (10 of 22), just as they were by Baylor (10 of 1Cool the game before.
The Wildcats' 6'10" star forward Beasley (ranked #1 by Rivals.com and #2 by Scout.com among incoming freshman) has more steals on the season and is a better perimeter shooter (28 of 73 from deep) than any of the KSU guards. Help, however, may be on the way with the return of versatile 6'5" freshman G Dominique Sutton, who got his feet wet with two minutes against Baylor and eight minutes against Texas after missing four games with an ankle injury. He has yet to make an impact, with Coach Martin just trying to get him ready for the home stretch, but the time is now, and we expect Martin to turn Sutton loose on Saturday if he's up to it physically.
If it seems like Kansas State is a team in disarray... they are, but it must be remembered just how far this program has come the last few seasons. The 2006-2007 Wildcat unit that finished at 23-12 with a second round loss in the NIT was the first squad from Manhattan that earned a post-season invite in eight years, the first to record a post-season win in thirteen years (59-57 over a tough Vermont team), and the first to pile up ten or more conference wins since the 1987-1988 group led by Mitch Richmond did so. For the youngsters out there, that was so long ago that it was the Big 8 Conference to which we refer.
By the numbers, K-State has scored a brisk 79.8 points per game (allows 68.3), while snatching a fine 42.1 to 33.4 rebounds per game margin to this point, and they still have a shot at double digit wins against their Big 12 opponents.
Kansas (24-3, 9-3 Big 12) found themselves in a wire to wire dogfight Saturday at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater, and came out on the losing end of a 60-61 contest to Oklahoma State in which five different Cowboys combined for 8 makes from behind the arc in 17 attempts, while the Jayhawks were icy at 2 of 11 from deep. However, for Kansas, this type of offensive and defensive struggle from the perimeter is a rarity. Two-time "Mr. Jayhawk" 6'1" senior G Russell Robinson (7.3p, 2.7r, 4.2a, 55 steals), reigning Big 12 Defender of the Year 6'1" junior G Mario Chalmers (12.1p, 2.9r, 4.8a, 63 steals), two-time All Big 12 6'6" junior G Brandon Rush 12.1p, 5.2r, 2.2a), and 5'11" sophomore backup G Sherron Collins (8.7p, 2.0r, 2.6a) are each legitimate threats from downtown, combining for 137 makes out of 358 attempts (.383), and can be counted on to get stops outside. Robinson is as gritty and physical as they come at the position, while Chalmers led the Big 12 Conference in steals in both his freshman (89) and sophomore (team record 97) seasons. This lineup and these ball handlers almost didn't happen. If Mario's father (and high school coach) wasn't the Director of Basketball Operations in Lawrence, he likely would have headed for the pros after 2006-2007. While Rush (younger brother of the NBA's Kareem Rush) actually declared for the 2007 NBA Draft, but withdrew after tearing an ACL, returning for another season on campus.
With all this talent at the guard position, the Hawks in the paint play a secondary role for Head Coach Bill Self (129-32 in 5th season at Lawrence), but Kansas does have enough size to go big if the match up calls for it. Typically Self (two Conference USA Championships in three years with Tulsa, two Big 10 Championships in three seasons with lllinois, three Big 12 Championships in four previous years with Kansas) and Assistant Coach Danny Manning (all-time Kansas leader with 2951 points and 1187 boards) go with 6'9" 225 sophomore F Darrell "Shady" Arthur (13.5p, 5.8r, 42 blocks) and 6'8" 250 senior F Darnell "D Bock" Jackson (12.5p, 6.8r, 1.1a) in the starting lineup, but will also regularly call on 6'11" 250 senior Sasha Kaun (7.3p, 3.8r, 35 blocks) and 6'11" 240 freshman C Cole Aldrich (3.0p, 3.3r, 27 blocks) to bring in the beef from the bench. The Russian-born Kaun may have never become quite the force Kansas thought he would, but the hard work, proven leadership ability, and size that Aldrich brings to the table will pencil him in as a Jayhawk starter through the 2010-2011 season. With eight players piling up at least 12 minutes per game, few teams can go as deep as this crew; and with per game margins of +20.4 points (81.6 to 61.2) and +7.3 boards (38.7 to 31.4), no team in the country is significantly superior.
Free winner from #1 Sports: The Wildcats handed the Jayhawks their first loss of the season, 84-75, back on January 1st, filling up the home nets with a dozen 3-pointers and ending a 24-game home losing streak against Kansas. The concept of "revenge" is likely beneath a team the caliber of Coach Self's, but being able to handle a single-dimensional squad like K-State is not. Take Kansas and lay the points on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse.

West Virginia at Connecticut
With just two weekends remaining before the start of the major conference tournaments, every game the rest of the way gains importance. That statement couldn’t be more true than in the Big East Conference. As we sit now, the Big East has five teams in the top-25, seven teams that have 19 wins or more already, and a total of ten teams that have at least 16 wins and feel like they have a real shot at an at-large invite to the NCAA tournament. What happens over the next two weeks will help make the decision on who will be in the NCAAs and who will settle for the NIT or CBI tournaments.
Two of the teams right in the hunt will collide this Saturday when West Virginia takes on Connecticut. The Mountaineers are 19-8 when we wrote this, but may have their 20th win by the time these two meet. They play 10-16 DePaul on Wednesday. The Huskies are ranked 15th and are 21-6. They should pick up another win early this week when they face 10-18 Rutgers. Let’s take a look at these two teams a little closer.
First, we have the West Virginia Mountaineers. This team is truly a Jeckel and Hyde type of team. They have been dynamite at home lately, winning their last three games by 27, 21 and 18 points. On the other hand, they have struggled on the road. They are just 2-4 in their last six road games, including a 22-point loss to Villanova last time out.
West Virginia gets it done by spreading the ball around. To pick out the star of this team would be tough to do. There are four players who share the scoring, rebounding and assists. Junior forward Joe Alexander leads the team in scoring with 14.4 points per game. He also adds 5.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists. Following Alexander is Junior guard Alex Rouff. Rouff puts up 13.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. Then there is Sophomore forward Da’Sean Butler with 12.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists, and Senior guard Darris Nichols with 11.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists.
Then there are the Connecticut Huskies who were really on a roll, winning ten straight games including four against ranked opponents, before they lost at Villanova by 2 on Saturday. The Huskies have won six straight home games.
Like West Virginia, UConn spreads the ball around. Junior guard A.J. Price leads the team in scoring at 15.0 points per game. He gets plenty of help from Junior forward Jeff Adrien (14.4), Sophomore guard Jerome Dyson (14.3) and Sophomore center Hasheem Thabeet (10.Cool. Adrien and Thabeet also really bang the boards. Adrien leads the team in rebounding with 9.3 per game, while Thabeet grabs 8 rebounds per contest. Sophomore forward Stanley Robinson also contributes plenty with 9.7 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.
This is the only regular season meeting between these two teams. I see a real match-up problem for West Virginia here. The way Connecticut bangs the boards, they should have a real advantage. UConn is strong at home, while West Virginia has struggled on the road. Unlike the past couple weeks, I am going to lay the points here.
Take the CONNECTICUT HUSKIES -4 over the West Virginia Mountaineers.
