Marquette at Providence
Pick: Providence +1.5
This small line tells the story, this game has trap written all over it as the Eagles will not be motivated for this match-up. Meanwhile the Friars have been playing decent hoops, ESP in the Big east.I see the home team controlling tempo taking the big 3 of Marquette out of their game.

93% NBA NON-CONFERENCE GAME OF THE MONTH!
At 9:05 pm, our selection is on the Denver Nuggets over Orlando. The Magic won last night at the Lakers, and have the league's best road record at 16-5, but will have a tough time winning tonight on the road vs. Denver. The Nuggets had Friday night off, so they are rested, and have won the last five meetings at home vs. Orlando, going 5-0 ATS in those games, with the last four wins being by double-digits. Also, after posting five straight wins and covers (and scoring 100+ points in those games), the Magic fall into a negative 27-54 ATS system of mine which fades certain teams off a string of high-scoring wins. Finally, over the last two seasons, Denver is 13-1, 93% ATS off a win, if the Nuggets are matched up against a non-conference foe. Take Denver as our NBA Non-Conference Game of the Month.
AFTERNOON COLLEGE BASKETBALL TV WINNER
At 2 pm, on ESPN, our selection is on the Texas A&M Aggies plus the points over Oklahoma. Mark Turgeon's men catch Blake Griffin & Co. at the perfect time with Oklahoma in off an emotional revenge win vs. Texas. The 5th-ranked Sooners won that game by 15, and that snapped a long losing streak at the hands of the Longhorns (including a 28-point loss in last year's Big 12 Conference Tourney). But off that win, the Sooners will have a letdown today in College Station where Texas A&M is always difficult to beat. The Aggies are 11-0 at home in Reed Arena and defeated the 21st-ranked Baylor Bears 84-73 on Wednesday. That 11-point win triggered a momentum system of mine which is 58-36 ATS and plays on certain home dogs off a double digit win as a home dog. Oklahoma has covered just 18 of its last 55 away from home. Take Texas A&M.
NCAA CONFERENCE GAME OF THE YEAR; 100% TY
At 8 pm, our Horizon League Game of the Year is on Youngstown State plus the points over Wisconsin-Green Bay, as the Penguins fall into a 114-44 ATS system of mine which plays on certain double-digit dogs off back-to-back double-digit losses. In its last two games, Youngstown lost 69-50 at Wisconsin-Milwaukee and 68-57 at home to Loyola-Illinois. But I look for Youngstown to rebound off those losses, and play Wisc-Green Bay close tonight as the Phoenix are coming off two straight emotional wins (77-75 at rival Wisc-Milwaukee, and an 80-65 upset win over Cleveland State). Wisconsin Green Bay is an awful 9-20 vs. conference foes, if Wisc-Green Bay is off two straight conference wins, and an even worse 7-26 ATS vs. conference foes if Wisc-Green Bay is off back to back pointspread wins. Horizon League Game of the Year on Youngstown State.
100% ATS NCAA RIVALRY GAME OF THE MONTH!
At 8 pm, our selection is on the Stanford Cardinal minus the points over California. The storyline in this game is the return of Cal head coach Mike Montgomery to Maples Pavillion, where he led Stanford for 18 seasons. But now, after a brief stint in the NBA, Montgomery has moved across town to Berkeley and has the Bears ranked #22 in the country. In its last game, California won in triple overtime vs. Washington as a 5-point underdog, 88-85, even though it did not lead at any point (other than 1-0) before taking an 86-85 lead with seconds to go in the third overtime. That was Cal's ninth straight win, and third in a row as an underdog. But since 1990, college basketball teams off at least six wins, with the last three being upsets, are 0-9 ATS. Stanford comes into this game off two 1-point losses at Washington State and Washington, but covered the spread in each defeat, and is 10-3 ATS this season, including 8-1 vs. winning teams. Also, college basketball teams with strong home courts, off exactly two losses, are 50-29 ATS at home vs. opponents off an upset win. The Cardinal are 8-1 straight-up at home this season and will win this ballgame. Take Stanford minus the points.

Georgetown Hoyas vs. Duke Blue Devils -8.5
RATING: 1* to 6* (6* Highest Rated Selection)
PLAY: 5* Duke Blue Devils -8.5
Cameron Indoor Arena will be the site of Saturday’s Big East / ACC clash between the visiting Georgetown Hoyas and the host Duke Blue Devils. The Hoyas enter today’s contest with a 12-3 SU and 6-5 ATS record on the season. The hometown Blue Devils are 15-1 SU and 9-6 against the number this season.
Georgetown has suffered two of their three losses on the highway; they are 3-2 SU and 2-3 ATS on the road this season. They are averaging 70.4 points per game on the road this season and allowing 64.8 points per game.
The Hoyas look to slow their opponents down and force them to play at their pace by using a very physical style of play but that may not be possible against Duke in their building. Georgetown comes into today’s matchup with a pace rating of 65.0 and an efficiency rating of 119.5. The Hoyas defensive efficiency rating is 88.5 so far this season.
Duke is undefeated at home posting a 9-0 SU record but they are only .500 when it comes to covering the number at home with a 4-4 ATS record. Duke is averaging 85.7 points per game against teams that allow 67.9 points per game. On the defensive end of the floor Duke is allowing 58.9 points per game versus teams that are averaging 71.4 points per game. The Blue Devils have a positive point differential when they take the floor at Cameron this season.
Duke plays at a faster pace than the Hoyas as evidenced by their rating of 70.0 this season. Their efficiency rating is 115.7 on the offensive end of the floor and 81.5 on the defensive side of the court which ranks second in the nation.
Taking a closer look into the numbers for each team we see that Duke has an effective FG percentage of 52.4 while the Hoyas are a little better in this department with a 55.1 percent in effective field goal percentage. One of the keys to today’s matchup will be on the offensive boards where Duke has a large advantage with a 41.2% rating which is 12th in the nation to the Hoyas 34.0 which ranks 149th in the country.
Duke controls the tempo and gets more second chance opportunities which will make it difficult on the slower paced Hoya team to gain an advantage. Duke’s sophomore guard Nolan Smith has done a terrific job of forcing Duke’s opponents to play at their pace and tempo and he will be a huge factor in today’s game.
We see that Duke responds well to solid defensive teams as they are 45-25 ATS versus teams with a shooting percent defense of =25 free throws per game, a team averaging 53 or less shots per game on the season, 99-54 ATS the last five seasons.
With significant statistical advantages as well as fundamental, technical and situational support we will back the host here as the Blue Devils take down another non-conference foe at Cameron Indoor Arena.
Projected Final Score: (5*) Duke Blue Devils 77 Georgetown Hoyas 62
Valparaiso Crusaders vs. Loyola-Chicago Ramblers -6
RATING: 1* to 6* (6* Highest Rated Selection)
PLAY: 4* Loyola-Chicago Ramblers -6
The Joseph J. Gentile Center will be the site of today’s Horizon Conference clash between the host Loyola-Chicago Ramblers and the visiting Valparaiso Crusaders. Valparaiso enters today’s game with a 5-13 SU record and 6-9 ATS. Loyola is 10-8 SU and 5-8 against the number this season.
Valparaiso is 1-10 SU on the road this season and 4-7 ATS averaging only 56.2 points per game against teams that allow 65.7 points per game. Defensively they are allowing 70.5 points per game to teams that only average 66.3 points per game.
Loyola is 6-3 SU at home and 1-3 ATS averaging 68.1 points per game against teams that allow 67.4 points per game. Defensively the Ramblers are allowing 64.8 points per game against teams that would normally score 68.6 points per game.
Loyola as a favorite of 3 to 6.5 points has a record of 18-5-2 ATS. If they are installed as a home favorite they are 13-4-2 ATS. Loyola coming off a home loss in their last game they are 11-2 ATS if they are now a home favorite they are 7-1 ATS. Loyola coming off a loss and now facing a conference opponent they are 46-27-4 ATS if they are now at home their record is 24-11-3 ATS. College Basketball Teams coming off a loss and going ‘over’ in their last game now facing a conference opponent with a line range of 3 to 6.5 are 65-40 ATS. If they also lost ATS in their last game their record is 56-35 ATS.
We will back the host here as the Ramblers add another SU and ATS win versus the Crusaders.
PROJECTED FINAL SCORE: Loyola-Chicago Ramblers 67 Valparaiso Crusaders 54
Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Michigan Wolverines -3.5
PLAY: 4* Michigan Wolverines -3.5
Crisler Arena will be the site of today’s Big 10 clash between the visiting Ohio State Buckeyes and the host Michigan Wolverines. Ohio State is 12-3 SU and 6-5 ATS this season while the host checks in with a record of 13-4 SU and 7-4 ATS.
The Buckeyes are coming in off a blowout win over Big 10 opponent Indiana on Tuesday, 77 to 53. That win came against a very weak Hoosiers squad and it was at home, the Buckeyes must now take to the Big 10 highway where they are 0-2 SU and 1-1 ATS on the Big 10 Road this season.
Michigan returns home after suffering a tough loss at the hands of a talented Illinois team on Wednesday in Champaign, 66 to 51 as a seven-point road underdog. In that game the Wolverines actually had the lead at halftime 31 to 30 but they were overwhelmed in the second half by the Illini which led to their demise.
The Wolverines are 3-2 SU and 2-3 ATS in conference action this season but they are 2-0 SU and ATS at home in Big 10 games. Michigan has proven to be a tough out at home overall posting a record of 10-1 SU and 6-1 ATS.
On the technical front we see that Ohio State has struggled in the role of underdog after playing at least two of their previous games at home, their record in that situation is 10-23-1 ATS. If the Buckeyes are installed as a road underdog their record is 7-19-1 ATS their last 27 in that role.
Finally we have a CBB system that tells us to Play On CBB teams after a game where a team made 33% of their shots or worse against an opponent after a game making 13 or more 3 point shots, 68-34 ATS since 1997.
We will lay the chalk with the host as they continue their home-court perfection against conference foes and get the ATS win as well.
