Play: Miami Florida +8

No. #3 North Carolina (22-2) is coming off a hugh win over Duke their last time out and Miami-FL (15-8) is coming off a three point overtime loss to the Blue Devils. The Hurricanes played the Tar Heels tough the first meeting but faulted down the stretch and cover by a half point as a 17.5 dog. CANES keep it close.

John Beilein is a quality head coach and most expected his second year in Ann Arbor to be greatly improved form his first, when the Wolverines stumbled to a 10-22 overall mark (5-13 in the Big 10). Therefore, few were surprised when Michigan opened 13-3 and was among the nations top-25 teams. Michigan has not maintained that level of play though, as the Wolverines take 2-7 SU (3-6 ATS) mark over their last nine games into today's game in Evanston with Nortwestern. The Wildcats have been regular doormats in the Big 10 as former Princeton coach Bill Carmody has not been able to build on his success in the Ivy League here in the Big 10. His eight-year record at the school since his arrival was 103-135 entering this season but there was an inkling that things could be better for Northwestern this year. That inkling was right, as the Wildcats are a respectable 13-9 overall (4-7 in the Big 10). Carmody returned three double digit scorers from last season's 8-22 team (1-17 in the Big 10), something only one other Big 10 coach could say, Purdue's Matt Painter. The 6-8 Coble (15.2-4.9) plus guard duo Moore (15.0-3.2-2.8) and Thompson (10.0-4.0 APG) are all at double digits again this year. They've been joined by three freshman, the 6-8 Shurna (7.3-2.7), the 6-11 Mirkovic (3.9-2.9) and the 7-0 Rowley (3.9-1.9). Michigan has two stars in 6-5 guard Harris (17.1-7.3-4.3) and the 6-8 Sims (15.0-7.4). However, neither have been at "the top of their games" as of late. The 6-10 Gibson (4.2-2.3) has underachived and three new guards have been less than spectacular. Arizona transfer Lucas-Perry (7.5) has been the best of the bunch (but underwhelming), while freshman Novak (6.5) and Douglass (5.6) have been no better than average. Since winning at pathetic Indiana (6-17 / 1-10 in the Big 10) on Jan 7, the Wolverines have lost at Illinois by 15, at Penn State by 15, at Ohio St by 18, and at Purdue by 18 on the Big 10 road (also lost at U Conn by eight). Meanwhile, Northwestern is 11-3 SU and 7-3 ATS at home this year, owning home wins over Fla St, Minnesota and Wisconsin. The losses have come to Mich St, Purdue and earlier this week to Illinois, which needed to outscore the Wildcats 17-2 over the game's final five minutes for a one-point win. I'm betting that Northwestern won't suffer any "after-effects" from that game, as this team has a winning season in its sights. Michigan had lost three straight games when Northwestern came to Ann Arbor back on Jan 24 (a perfect spot for the Wolverines) but the Wildcats never "backed off," losing by just nine points. Here at home, expect Northwestern to easily take care of a Michigan team which hardly resembles the tean which earlier this year beat then-No. 4 UCLA and then-No. 4 Duke during a 17-day span.

There can be no argument that Temple has turned things around since the first of the year, going 9-3 SU (8-3-1 ATS) since Jan 1. However, Ron Everhart's Duquesne team has sure made major strides in this, his third year in Pittsburgh. He took over a program which had won just three games the year before he arrived and after improving to 10 wins in his first season with the Dukes, went 17-13 last year. This year's team is 15-8 (6-4 in the A-10) and after posting the school's first winning record since 1994 last year, Everhart could (should?) have the Dukes playing in the postseason this year. A win here over Temple would sure help that cause and I believe the Dukes are primed for just that. Temple has a terrific player in the 6-5 Christmas (20.-6.5) but not all that much else. Joining Christmas in the starting lineup is PG Inge (7.3-3.6-3.6) and fellow guard Brooks (10.3-3.9), with the 6-9 Allen (10.7-7.8) and the underachieving 7-0 Olmos (7.7-3.4) starting up front. Temple just edged bitter rival St Joe's 61-59 on Thursday and expect the Owls to have their hands full with the Dukes on this Sunday. Duquesne is 9-3 SU at home and as the ranked Xavier Musketeers found out last weekend (Dukes won 72-68), the AJ Palumbo Center (capacity over just over 5,000) can be one tough venue. Veteran guard Jackson (17.7-5.6-5.5) and Duty (8.2) are joined by freshman Evans (9.6) on the perimeter, while the 6-7 Saunders (13.6-8.0) and the 6-5 Clark (13.0-4.5) are joined up front by 6-4 freshman Bolding (9.4-4.3). Duquesne was able to get Temple to play at its pace last year, when the Owls won 90-85 in Philly, so here at home, expect the Dukes to dictate the style of play and this time, come away with a win.

8 Unit Play.Take Northwestern -4 over Michigan

As the saying goes, momentum is only as good as your next day’s starting pitcher and I expect the Cats to bounce back in a big way after a tough defeat on Thursday against Illinois. They dominated that game for 37 minutes only to see it all come apart at the end and they will take out their frustration on Michigan Sunday afternoon. Michigan is set 2-7 in their last nine games and have only beat Indiana on the road in conference, and that game they should have lost. Michigan lives and dies with the three point shot and Northwestern will get out and guard them and I do not expect many of them to fall on the road. Northwestern is 11-3 at Welsh-Ryan Arena with their only losses coming to Michigan State, Illinois, and Purdue all top teams in the conference. Michigan is just 1-6 in true road games with the win coming against Indiana, the worst team by far in the conference. Northwestern is one of the few teams that would be happy to make the NIT this season and they will take care of business this afternoon against Michigan giving us yet another top play winner.
