3 units on Loyola Maryland +7.5
The regular season finale for both of these teams features the Gaels favored by 7.5 points. Are they worthy of that? Given their 7-10 mark in conference play, and 3-5 ATS record at home, I don't think so. This team has lost seven of their last night games and is 1-4 in their last five games, scoring just 56 points per game. Yes, the Greyhounds are also playing quite badly, but they are not being asked to cover a large number here - they are getting the points. Loyola is 14-2 ATS the past three seasons on the road vs. a losing opponent. Iona is just 1-7 ATS this seeason vs. teams with a record of .400 or worse. Only one way to go in this one.
4 units on Syracuse -405
2 units on UNDER 146
The Bearcats need a win here to keep hope alive for an NCAA Tournament bid. But I don't think they get it. They are just 3-4 on the road this season vs. conference opponents and 4-6 overall. The Orange are 15-3 at home this season and they are averaging 14 points per game more at home than does Cincy on the road. I expect the Bearcats to again struggle to score here. They are 7-3 UNDER on the road this season. I like Cuse and the UNDER here.
2 units on UNDER 146
Providence hasn't played since thier huge win over #1 Pittsburgh. How can this game not be a let down after that? And letdowns usually affect offense more than defense. Their offense takes a huge hit on the road as it is, averaging about 10 points fewer than at home. Rutgers can play defense, especially at home where they allow just 64.2 ppg on the season. In conference games, the Scarlet Knights are getting just 63.3 points per game. I like this game to go UNDER the total.

Missouri vs. Kansas
Play: Kansas -4.5
20 Units, Take Kansas ATS, This pick falls into one of my top NCAAB systems and Kansas is the better overall team. Kansas is shooting 49.7% as a team at home this season while shooting 39.6% from beyond the arc. The Tigers have struggled defensively on the road this season with opponents shooting 46.5% against them while averaging 71.1 ppg and Kansas has played solid defensively at home with opponents shooting just 37.1% against them while averaging just 61.6 ppg. Kansas is the superior rebounding team at home today out-rebounding their opponents by an average of 10.3 rebounds per game and they are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 conference games. The Tigers are just 6-17 ATS in their last 23 road games against a team with a winning record at home and the only reason the Tigers beat the Jayhawks back on February.9 was because they committed 13 less turnovers. Take Kansas as my Hardcore Hoops Big 12 Game of the Month.
NBA Non Conference Game of the Month.
Toronto Raptors vs. Dallas Mavericks
Play: Dallas -6.5/107
20 Units, Take Dallas ATS, Dallas is playing great at home lately and the Raptors have lost 5 of their last 6 road games by 8 points or more. The Raptors have only won just once on the road since January and I have Dallas dominating this game from start to finish at home tonight. The Raptors are just 8-19 ATS in their last 27 games against a good offensive team like Dallas that averages over 99+ ppg and Toronto is just 4-14-1 in their last 19 games as a road dog of +5.0 to +10.5 points. The Raptors are just 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games and they are just 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games after allowing 125 points or more in their previous game. The Raptors are just 9-20-2 ATS in their last 31 games against a Western Conference opponent and they are just 8-22-1 ATS in their last 31 road games against a team that has a winning record at home. The Mavericks are a perfect 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games after failing to cover in their previous game and they are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games. Take Dallas as my NBA Non Conference Game of the Month.
