Since Scott Drew took over, Baylor has recruited very well. The young recruits seem to be growing up this year with wins over WIch St, NOt Dame and still tough Winthrop to win one of those greed driven, retarded early tournies. The biggest non conference foe in years comes to town tonight and although I have the utmost respect for Wash st and the way they play, they were way down to a marginal boise group in their loan road game. Baylors home advantage in conference play has been noted. The place will be nuts tonight. THe game has the feel of a classic home dog. Baylor plus 3 BIG!!!!!

Marc Lawrence 100% NBA super Pick Super Play! - Friday 11/30:
Play On: Utah Jazz
Note: Lakers travel to Utah after hosting the Nuggets last night knowing they are 0-9 SUATS against the Jazz when playing without rest. Look for Utah to improve to 7-1 SUATS as a host in this series tonight.

Today's Pick: Bucks/Knicks OVER
NBA
Milwaukee vs. New York
7:35 EST
This is my very first NBA Total Experiment based mostly on the referees calling this game. Jim Clark (average total of 197.08 in games he's refereed), Bennie Adams (205.09) and Rodney Mott (197.33) are calling this matchup between the Bucks & Knicks, averaging a combined total of nearly 200 points per game between them. I'm also considering the fact that this is the lowest total posted on a meeting between these teams since December 12th, 2005. That game closed and 194 and went OVER by 10 points, with seven meetings since then sitting at 196 or higher. The public also witnessed an absolutely dismal offensive performance by the Knicks on national TV Thursday night at Boston, which I believe works in our favor as well. That's why I'll take another shot on the OVER in this spot as both teams look to get back on track shooting the ball. Take the Over.

I'm laying the points with Montana on Friday. The "beat" goes on for Cal-State Fulle rton. The Titans fatten up on the sofites, but are no match for teams that know how to win. Following a 3-0 start against creampuffs, CSUF entertained thoughts of upsetting Arizona. That notion lasted for about a minute of game-time. The Titans were pounded in every aspect of the game...same ol' Fullerton State. CSUF is now on a 1-14 ATS slide when playing against teams who're above .500! The Grizzlies are off to a 5-2 start and have already cashed for me once this season. Their only losses came to Gonzaga and Washington State. The last time I used Montana, I mentioned their big bodies down low. Jordan Hasquet and Andrew Strait are wide, yet athletic bodies who should have their way in this one. CSUF is height-challenged. In fact, their only active player over 6'6, Eddie Lima, is a non-factor. Forward Scott Cutley (6'5) is their best player. He returned to limited action against Arizona and is not yet 100% healthy. Montana also returns both backcourt starters, led by Big Sky Freshman of the Year, Cameron Rundles. The Titans will utilize a three-man backcourt, but are not up to the matchup against Rundles and backcourt mate Matt Martin. The Titans will finish in the upper-division of the Big West, but aren't capable of hanging with the top team in the Big Sky, as far as I'm concerned. I'll lay the points with Montana on Friday. Thanks! GL! Scott.
I'm taking the Bucks on Friday night. Milwaukee hit a rough spot lately after a great start, but the Knicks are just what they need to right the ship. Milwaukee is cashing at a 75% clip this season against teams that allow 100 PPG or more while the Knicks have been horrible in the second game of back-to-back nights. In fact, they're 0-3 SU, 1-2 ATS, scoring just 81, 83, and 86 points, while losing by 16 PPG. This is also a horrible league-wide spot. NBA teams who were getting at least 10 points away from home in their previous game, and are playing at home without rest and in this price range, are 0-6 SU & ATS over the past few seasons. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's a perfect situation. New York proved again last night that they have no heart and are obviously in need of a major overhaul. The Bucks get back on track with a healthy road win on Friday night. Thanks! GL! Scott

*1 UNIT side play for Friday:
Delaware at Iona (-2) - 4:30 Pacific - Game #739-740
In addition to this being the home opener for Iona first year head coach Kevin Willard, he has extra special motivation tonight. Willard had been given a contract by Delaware two years ago and a press conference had been scheduled to announce his hiring only to have the offer pulled after complaints arose about a DUI Williard had received years before. Rick Pitino and others were very critical of how Delaware handled the situation because the DUI had been openly discussed in his interview. Ironically, Willard will get to face Delaware tonight. Iona went just 2-28 last year but one of those wins came at Delaware and they played most of the season without arguably their three best players in Gary Springer (injury), Kyle Camper (injury) and Dexter Gray (academics). Camper and Gray are now back in the lineup and Springer (missed last 5 games with ankle injury but dressed for last two) is likely to be available tonight. The early part of the Delaware schedule is all about bringing freshman up to speed as they wait for two impact transfers to become eligible at the semester break. Delaware's current rotation of 7 players includes 4 freshman and an obvious lack of depth. Any foul trouble is a disaster for this team. The Blue Hens are also winless on the season and were nearly as futile (5-26, 1-13 on road) as Iona last year. Expect the deeper and more motivated Gaels to pick up a home win here.
Play: Iona -2 1 UNIT

triple-dime bet720 SEA / 719 IND Over 213.5 BetUS
Analysis: My style of Handicapping has always been profitable because I don't think like a Bettor I think like Vegas thinks because it's Vegas that makes the money. Tonight in the NBA Vegas has put up a number on a total where they are going to suck John Q Public into betting a side that is going to go down. The Total on the Seattle/ Indiana Game is 213' and I say why so high. Indiana's last game the total was 204 and they went Under by 20 points. Seattle's last game the total was 209 and it went Under by 5 Points. So think about this we have totals of 204 & 209 and Both go Under and Vegas sets this one at 213'. Everyone will be pounding the Under which is just what Vegas wants you to do...The right side is the Over as these 2 will go up & down the Floor tonight. I personally see this Game being played in the 220's. My Projected Final Total is 223-226. Take SEA/IND OVER as MARCO'S 15* NBA HIGH ROLLER LOCK OF THE MONTH and make them a TRIPLE DIME PLAY.

double-dime bet729 Iowa St. 3.5 (-110) BetUS vs 730 Oregon St.
Analysis: Iowa St has played a much tougher schedule than Oregon St. has and should not be a Underdog here. There record is very misleading giving us great line value with the better team. Look for Iowa St to Win this Game Outright! TAKE IOWA ST as STAN'S COLLEGE HOOP UPSET BIG BET OF THE WEEK and make them a DOUBLE DIME PLAY

722 DEN / 721 LAC Under 207.5 BetUS
Analysis:
Clippers/Nuggets Under 207.5 (1 Unit)
Thanks to numerous injuries the Clippers have fallen on hard times, losers of three straight while scoring an average of only 87 points per game over their last five.
Clippers G Sam Cassell has been downgraded to not expected to play, and leading scorer Corey Maggette will test his hamstring injury out tonight BUT said he is feeling fatigued and playing in this mile-high climate will not help matters at all.
The Nuggets are fresh off of an embarrassing loss to the Lakers where they were simply out ran in the second half allowing 72 second half points.
The Nugget players admitted that their defense wasnt the greatest and even with the two-day rest they were still sluggish. Kenyon Martin is also trying to return from his injury, and did so last night with only 2 points and 6 rebounds and will be held to only 20 mins.
The Nuggets are playing on back-to-back nights, and the last two times this happened they have scored a combined 171 points.
With both teams seemly sluggish entering tonights game and dealing with injuries Id say the UNDER is the call

double-dime bet737 La.-Monroe 7.5 (-110) BetUS vs 738 Iowa
Analysis:
I see a pretty lame chalk toting a 7.5 tonight:
UL Monroe +7.5 at BetUS
Iowa is overpriced!
Iowa scored 58 points on Idaho State.
Northern Colorado led Iowa 30-29, holding Iowa scoreless for 7:44!
Florida Gulf Coast led Iowa by as much as 6 points in the first half!
Maryland Eastern Shore led by as much as 7 points. The Hawkeyes went scoreless for the opening 6:35, and didn't hit their first field goal until a Josh Kelly 3 at the 12:33 mark.
Bradley trounced Iowa by 11.
Lowly Utah State whipped Iowa
Wake Forest led Iowa by 17 points at one point! Iowa had 21 turnovers!
Iowa is 4-3.
The first 4 teams on the list were Iowa Wins: Idaho State, Northern Colorado, Florida Gulf Coast, and Maryland Eastern Shore.
Iowa hasnt won in three games: losing by 9, 13, and 11 to the last 3 teams on the list.
Somebody please tell me how a team with a Freshman Point Guard (who is also a turnover machine) is favored by almost 8 points against a 3 guard set that is filled with seniors, and a prize point guard! The Freshman point-guard for Iowa plays almost the entire game, on average!
The simple fact of the matter here is that Iowa is a little bigger than ULM, but there doesnt seem to be any consistency in the paint for the Hawkeyes. Their perceived dominance on paper is leading many people to swallow the big number on Iowa.
I noticed that Iowa's top big men went scoreless against Wake Forest. Looby and Gorney did NOTHING! There seems to be an emphasis, whether subconsciously, or on purpose, to funnel the ball to the perimeter at times against the bigger teams. So you have a turnover-prone point guard funneling the ball to confidence-lacking big men that are funneling the ball back out to Johnson (66 guard) on the wing.
ULM is not bigger, so there wont be a drastic shift, like the Wake game, but there is a definite issue with Iowa's aggressiveness in the paint. Maybe its confidence, but it has appeared in more than one game. They are watching and not reacting.
I think ULM may be able to make a little headway against this Hawkeye interior. I'm finding it hard to imagine any big runs by this sluggish and inconsistant favorite.
Here's where I think we have a bunch of value tonight:
ULM is essentially 8 men deep on the double digit playing minutes list. Iowa is about 8 deep as well. But the Guards of ULM are 2 deep, and that should work wonders against the Freshman point-guard of Iowa. He will tire as the game progresses, and we should see a bunch of mistakes from him.
Iowa managed to beat those lame teams on their schedule because they had a deeper skill set on the bench. Believe it or not, that won't happen tonight, so I think we may see a similar outcome to the Utah State game.
Let's root for the outright winner and grab 7.5 points for the ride!
