03-15-24 | Mississippi State v. Tennessee -10 | Top | 73-56 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 58 m | Show |
This is a play on the TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS as part of our Friday Early Three-Pack. Mississippi St. is coming off a win over LSU on Thursday which snapped its four-game losing streak and is now pegged as one of the last four teams into the NCAA Tournament win or lose here. The Bulldogs went just 8-10 in the Southeastern Conference and notched its 20th win with the victory over the Tigers but their three Quad 1 wins are second fewest of all SEC teams that will be going dancing. Tennessee closed its regular season with a loss against Kentucky but it was not a must win to win the SEC title and the Volunteers still have a lot at stake. They are still in play for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and should pass North Carolina with a win here based on strength of conference wins. This is a revenge game for Tennessee as well, losing the lone meeting in Starkville. 10* (820) Tennessee Volunteers |

03-15-24 | UTEP v. Sam Houston State -4.5 | Top | 65-63 | Loss | -120 | 4 h 29 m | Show |
This is a play on the SAM HOUSTON ST. BEARKATS as part of our Friday Early Three-Pack. While San Houston St. may have surprised many by winning the Conference USA regular season championship in its first season with a new head coach, this was a 26-win team from the WAC last season so the pedigree was there. The Bearkats rolled over Florida International on Wednesday and has now won eight straight games and has a great matchup today. UTEP is coming off an upset over Liberty on Thursday and has been playing well in its own right, now having won four straight games. Three of those have been away from home which is the surprise as the Miners have won only four games on the highway the entire season, the other coming against California on a neutral floor. Sam Houston St. won both meets this season and completes the sweep. 10* (816) Sam Houston St. Bearkats |

03-14-24 | Utah v. Colorado -3.5 | Top | 58-72 | Win | 100 | 10 h 21 m | Show |
This is a play on the COLORADO BUFFALOES as part of our Thursday Evening Three-Pack. Colorado comes into the Pac 12 Tournament on a roll as it has won six straight games and finished 13-7 in the conference to grab the No. 3 seed. The Buffaloes are No. 2 in NET ranking in the conference and the recent run has punched their ticket to the NCAA Tournament but there is no reason to slow up now as momentum is a huge factor this time of year and seeding improvement is always on the line. Utah advanced with a blowout win over Arizona St. which snapped a two-game losing streak that ended the regular season. The win over the Sun Devils was just their second Pac 12 win away from home. 10* (782) Colorado Buffaloes |

03-14-24 | Clippers -6 v. Bulls | Top | 126-111 | Win | 100 | 6 h 12 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. The Clippers had a tough situation last weekend where they had to play back-to-back daytime games, winning the first and losing the second one as they rested the Big Three. Los Angeles could not bounce back from that defeat as it followed it up with an 18-point loss at home against Minnesota and now this is the smash bounce back spot. Chicago is coming off a win over Indiana last night as a road underdog to snap a two-game losing streak and move back to two games under .500. The Bulls are back home where they are right at .500 and they have struggled to string wins together, going just 11-20 following a win. Here, we play on road favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points off an upset loss as a favorite, second half of the season. This situation is 54-21 ATS (72 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (505) Los Angeles Clippers |

03-14-24 | Providence +8 v. Creighton | Top | 78-73 | Win | 100 | 6 h 52 m | Show |
This is a play on the PROVIDENCE FRIARS as part of our Thursday Evening Three-Pack. Providence easily took care of Georgetown yesterday and the stakes remain high for the Friars as they need another win for NCAA Tournament consideration. Providence finished 10-10 in the Big East Conference to grab the No. 7 seed while also finishing No. 7 in the NET rankings with one of those wins coming at home in overtime against Creighton and they were getting two points there and are now catching a line on the rise and overinflated. The Bluejays have the team to make a deep run but winning by margin is a different story, especially against a desperate team with an elite defense. 10* (747) Providence Friars |
|||||||
03-14-24 | Ole Miss v. Texas A&M -4.5 | Top | 71-80 | Win | 100 | 6 h 52 m | Show |
This is a play on the TEXAS A&M AGGIES as part of our Thursday Evening Three-Pack. Texas A&M went into Oxford and jumped out to a 14-0 lead and never looked back as it rolled over the Rebels by 26 points. The Aggies finished 9-9 in the Southeastern Conference which was a big disappointment but they are still alive for the NCAA Tournament but cannot lose this game or they are cooked. The Aggies are the No. 1 offensive rebounding team in the country while Mississippi is ranked No. 359 in defensive rebounding. The Rebels need to win the SEC Tournament and that is not going to happen as they are in a 2-8 freefall and bring in no confidence or momentum. 10* (772) Texas A&M Aggies |
|||||||
03-14-24 | Ohio State -2 v. Iowa | Top | 90-78 | Win | 100 | 7 h 0 m | Show |
This is a play on the OHIO ST. BUCKEYES as part of our Thursday Afternoon Three-Pack. Coaching matters and Ohio St. made a change late in the season to get a recharge and that is exactly what has happened under interim head coach Jake Diebler as the Buckeyes have gone 5-1 in his six games and he has become a candidate for the full time position. The Buckeyes are not dead yet as two wins could punch an NCAA Tournament ticket. Iowa finished 10-10 in the Big Ten Conference following a loss to and a win there would have been huge as the Hawkeyes are still on the outside looking in so this is obviously big as well but the defense has been horrid and that will do them in. 10* (739) Ohio St. Buckeyes |
|||||||
03-14-24 | UTEP v. Liberty -3.5 | Top | 66-57 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 60 m | Show |
This is a play on the LIBERTY FLAMES as part of our Thursday Afternoon Three-Pack. We are getting great value with Liberty that had a very disappointing season in Conference USA. The Flames were picked to finish first in the conference but got off to a 0-3 start and was not able to recover to a 7-9 finish. This could be a dangerous team now though as the second season is up for grabs behind a deep and experienced team that will be out for some payback as well following a 16-point home loss. That was one of only three wins away from home for UTEP which comes in on a roll with three straight wins but only helps with the number as we have this one at -6. 10* (796) Liberty Flames |
|||||||
03-14-24 | USC v. Arizona -9 | Top | 49-70 | Win | 100 | 4 h 31 m | Show |
This is a play on the ARIZONA WILDCATS as part of our Thursday Afternoon Three-Pack. USC overcame a five-point halftime deficit and pulled away from Washington to advance. The Trojans have won four straight games so they have momentum and are playing with confidence while knowing can beat this team as they handled Arizona at by 13 points in a meaningless game and that will go against them here with Arizona ready for payback. The Wildcats now have plenty to play for, not only because of revenge but for a possible No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. They are hard to beat when the backcourt of Caleb Love and Kylan Boswell are productive together. 10* (776) Arizona Wildcats |
|||||||
03-14-24 | Maryland v. Wisconsin -3.5 | Top | 56-87 | Win | 100 | 5 h 45 m | Show |
This is a play on the WISCONSIN BADGERS as part of our Thursday Early Four-Pack. Wisconsin was on a 15-2 early season run until it went to Nebraska and lost in overtime and that sent the Badgers in a tailspin. That was the start of a 3-8 ending to the season but seven of those games were within reach late in the game and despite some being critical about making the NCAA Tournament, they are in fine shape but could use some positive mojo. Maryland easily took care of Rutgers on Wednesday which snapped a three-game losing streak and a 2-8 run which landed the Terrapins at a disappointing 7-13 in the conference while going 2-8 in Quad 1 games. 10* (738) Wisconsin Badgers |
|||||||
03-14-24 | Bowling Green -2.5 v. Central Michigan | Top | 66-56 | Win | 100 | 4 h 56 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOWLING GREEN FALCONS as part of our Thursday Early Four-Pack. Since losing to Akron by 21 points in early February, Central Michigan has not been the same team prior to that when it was on an 8-1 run. The Chippewas have gone 5-3 since that loss which includes a nonconference win against Old Dominion and only one of those victories was by more than two positions while two were in overtime. Bowling Green finished two games behind Central Michigan but comes in favored as the Falcons have much better metrics. They also have some retribution following a pair of overtime losses against the Chippewas during the regular season. 10* (713) Bowling Green Falcons |
|||||||
03-14-24 | BYU -2.5 v. Texas Tech | Top | 67-81 | Loss | -120 | 3 h 46 m | Show |
This is a play on the BYU COUGARS as part of our Thursday Early Four-Pack. The Cougars showed what they can be capable of as they have the balance on both ends as The finished No. 2 in the conference in Adjusted Offensive Efficiency and No. 8 in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency which puts them top 35 in the country in both. Texas Tech was near the top of the Big 12 Conference but faded down the stretch yet did just enough to get a bye in the conference tournament. The Red Raiders finished 17 spots behind BYU in the NET rankings and was ahead of only four teams in the T-Rank since February 17. Much better team on a run at a great price. 10* (751) BYU Cougars |
|||||||
03-14-24 | Florida State +10.5 v. North Carolina | Top | 67-92 | Loss | -105 | 2 h 16 m | Show |
This is a play on the FLORIDA ST. SEMINOLES as part of our Thursday Early Four-Pack. North Carolina won the Atlantic Coast Conference by two games over Duke thanks to the season sweep against the Blue Devils. The Tar Heels have a likely No. 1 seed locked up for the NCAA Tournament and the numbers will be showing that throughout. The Seminoles have the No. 29 tempo in country while forcing turnovers on 20 percent of defensive possessions and they will want to play fast and keep this game disjointed. The Tar Heels struggled in this matchup during the regular season as they won both meetings but by just seven and eight points and the Seminoles will be up for the task. 10* (727) Florida St. Seminoles |
|||||||
03-13-24 | Nuggets v. Heat +4.5 | Top | 100-88 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 24 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Star Attraction. Miami has lost three straight games after it looked like it had turned the corner with a 7-1 run. The Heat are coming off a bad loss against the horrible Wizards in what could have been a lookahead to this one. While they have already lost in Denver this season, this is the first time hosting Denver since losing to the Nuggets in the NBA Finals last season so this is a great home revenge spot and they are getting value as we have this number at two with the line being where it is based on opponent name. Denver has won three straight games with all of those coming at home where they are now 27-6, the second best record in the NBA behind Boston. The Nuggets are back on the road for the start of a four-game roadtrip and while they have won three straight away from home, they are still just 18-14 which is good but far from dominant and they have gone 13-19 ATS in those games including 9-15 ATS as road favorite. Here, we play against favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after scoring 120 points or more in two straight games. This situation is 219-156 ATS (58.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (566) Miami Heat |
|||||||
03-13-24 | Nets v. Magic -7 | Top | 106-114 | Win | 100 | 11 h 3 m | Show |
This is a play on the ORLANDO MAGIC for our NBA Signature Enforcer. We played on Brooklyn on Sunday against Cleveland as the Cavaliers were in an awful spot, coming off a win against Minnesota with a game against Phoenix on deck and they were once again short-handed but now is the time to fade the Nets. They were coming off losses against Detroit and Charlotte in their previous two games, part of a 5-11 stretch with two other wins coming against Memphis and San Antonio and the other three against teams all missing their top player. Orlando has lost two straight games including a 14-point loss against Indiana on Sunday and those losses came right after a five-game winning streak and an 8-1 run. The Magic remain in fifth place in the Eastern Conference, just one game behind New York for the coveted No. 4 spot. They look to get the offense back on track after scoring 74 and 97 points, only the second time this season they have scored fewer than 100 points in back-to-back games. Here, we play on favorites in the second half of the season in a game involving two teams with +/- 3 ppg scoring differentials, after a loss by 10 points or more. This situation is 81-37 ATS (68.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (562) Orlando Magic |
|||||||
03-13-24 | NC State v. Syracuse -1.5 | Top | 83-65 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 28 m | Show |
This is a play on the SYRACUSE ORANGE for our ACC Tourney Annihilator. NC State finished the regular season with four straight losses which knocked it down to the No. 10 seed in the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament. The Wolfpack got a good draw in the first round as they got last place Louisville and came away with a nine-point win but it was a fortunate one. They were down at the half and were able to pull away thanks to an overall scoring advantage of 33-1 from the free throw line as the Cardinals were called for 23 fouls. NC State is only one spot below Syracuse in NET ranking but recent charts show a much different story. With a strong end to February, Syracuse has gotten into the NCAA Tournament conversation as a pair of wins, here and then against Duke, which is not out of the question, could punch the Orange a ticket. The recent run is 5-2 over their last seven games and since February 13 when the streak started, Syracuse is the No. 5 team in the ACC per T-Rank. The Orange swept both regular season meetings against NC State both as the underdog and now they are favored and for a reason albeit a very short price. 10* (650) Syracuse Orange |
|||||||
03-13-24 | Kansas State v. Texas -4.5 | Top | 78-74 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 8 m | Show |
This is a play on the TEXAS LONGHORNS for our Big 12 Tourney Game of the Year. Texas picked up a big win in its season finale against Oklahoma by 14 points to bounce back from a tough loss at Baylor and it finished 9-9 in the Big 12 Conference. The Longhorns are not in danger of missing the NCAA Tournament but a run this week could move them up from their current No. 8 projected seed. Overall, the Longhorns are No. 24 in NET ranking and per T-Rank, since February 10, Texas has been the second-best team in the Big 12, and No. 12 nationally in that stretch so they are playing their best at the right time. Kansas St. is coming off a must win over Iowa St. that kept its slim NCAA Tournament hopes alive but it needs to win here and the next game at the very least but a must win does not always equate to a win. It was not a great season for the Wildcats as they finished below .500 in the conference and 18-13 overall and even that was a fortunate record with Kansas St. going 6-0 in overtime games with five of those at home. The Wildcats are well back at No. 70 in NET ranking. 10* (658) Texas Longhorns |
|||||||
03-13-24 | Georgetown v. Providence -10 | Top | 56-74 | Win | 100 | 17 h 18 m | Show |
This is a play on the PROVIDENCE FRIARS for our Big East Tourney Enforcer. The run for Providence was not good to close the season as it lost three of its last four games including a season finale loss at home against Connecticut that would have boosted its resume so now the Friars need a run of at least two wins for any sort of NCAA Tournament consideration. Providence finished 10-10 in the Big East Conference to grab the No. 7 seed while also finishing No. 7 in the NET rankings. The Friars went 12-0 in Quad 3 and 4 games and there will be extra incentive facing former coach Ed Cooley and ending the Hoyas season while sweeping the season series 3-0. Georgetown finished 2-18 in the conference with both wins coming against 0-20 DePaul and those two victories were by just four points combined so it was a pretty miserable run for the third straight season for the Hoyas. They will have the incentive to play spoiler but they just do not have the team to match up. The Hoyas are coming off a cover against the Red Storm to end the season but the ATS wins have not come in bunches, going 3-9 ATS after an ATS win. 10* (682) Providence Friars |
|||||||
03-13-24 | USC v. Washington +4 | Top | 80-74 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 59 m | Show |
This is a play on the WASHINGTON HUSKIES for our Pac 12 Tourney Crusher. USC is going to be a popular play based on who it is and how it finished and linesmakers are taking that into account as the Trojans opened as a one point favorite but we have this line Washington -3. USC closed with three straight wins including a home upset over Arizona in the finale but that was not a very meaningful game for the Wildcats. It was a dreadful season as a whole for the Trojans which finished 8-12 in the Pac 12 Conference and the recent play has boosted the metrics as they are No. 5 in the conference per T-Rank since February 1. Washington played spoiler and defeated rival Washington St. to end the Cougars any chance at a conference title and it was also a disappointing season for the Huskies which finished 9-11. With that will come a coaching change as after seven seasons, Washington informed Mike Hopkins he will be fired but he will continue with the program through the end of the season and the players will continue to go hard for him. The Huskies are No. 4 in the Pac 12 in T-Rank since February 1. 10* (672) Washington Huskies |
|||||||
03-13-24 | UCF v. BYU -5.5 | Top | 73-87 | Win | 100 | 12 h 47 m | Show |
This is a play on the BYU COUGARS for our Big 12 Afternoon Dominator. Depending on who you talk to, some will say BYU is an overrated team that underachieved or believe what the metrics say and they were excellent in a tough conference that can make a run in the postseason. We feels it’s the latter. The Cougars are No. 12 in Net ranking and while they struggled away from home, playing in some of the Big 12 Conference road venues do that. They finished No. 2 in the conference in Adjusted Offensive Efficiency and No. 8 in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency and that balance puts them top 35 in the country in both which is a factor for a national run. Central Florida is coming off an easy first round win over Oklahoma St. following an average first season in the conference where it went 7-11. They do have a defense that has been great and is ranked higher that the Cougars but the offense has been horrible all season as they struggle to optimize shooting opportunities and are ranked No. 258 in the country in effective shooting percentage while being last in the conference in Adjusted Efficiency Offense. 10* (654) BYU Cougars |
|||||||
03-12-24 | Manhattan v. Iona -8 | Top | 57-60 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 16 m | Show |
This is a play on the IONA GAELS for our MAAC Tourney Crusher. Iona closed the regular season with a win over hapless Siena to finish 10-10 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference as it was a big underachiever. The Gaels had to replace four starters as well as head coach Rick Pitino but were still picked to finish second but ended up with the No. 7 seed in the conference tournament. Iona closed the season on a 1-8 ATS run which adds value to the number here and we are seeing that based on the last meeting. The Gaels lost in Manhattan in the second to last game of the season by 17 points as an 8.5-point favorite and are now laying that amount on a neutral floor in what is a big revenge spot. Manhattan went 4-16 in the conference with two wins needing overtime and another against the 3-17 Saints so the victory over Iona was a total anomaly. The Jaspers lost 11 of those 16 conference games by more than what they are getting on Tuesday and overall are No. 335 in the NET rankings. This team is awful on both ends, finishing No. 332 in offensive shooting and No. 332 in defensive shooting. 10* (620) Iona Gaels |

03-12-24 | 76ers v. Knicks -4.5 | Top | 79-106 | Win | 100 | 22 h 17 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW YORK KNICKS for our NBA Divisional Game of the Year. New York is coming off a loss to the Sixers and it has been a rough stretch of late with New York going 4-9 over its last 13 games. They are now just a half-game ahead of Orlando for fourth place in the Eastern Conference which is the important spot. They are coming off a second great game defensively, allowing 79 points but the offense was nonexistent as they managed a season low 73 points on just 32.5 percent shooting which was also a season low. Philadelphia snapped a three-game losing streak with the win and it has been a struggle for them as well, going 7-15 over their last 22 games and have fallen into sixth place in the conference. The absence of Joel Embiid has obviously had a huge impact and going back, the Sixers are 10-22 ATS in their last 32 games off an upset win as an underdog. We are seeing a line shift from the game on Sunday by a bucket and not because of the Sixers upset but because Tyrese Maxey will return after missing four games with a concussion. Here, we play on favorites off an upset loss to a division rival as a favorite of six points or more going up against an opponent off an upset win as a road underdog. This situation is 57-26 ATS (68.7 percent) since 1996. 10* (546) New York Knicks |

03-12-24 | Miami-FL -1.5 v. Boston College | Top | 65-81 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 49 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIAMI HURRICANES for our ACC Tourney Annihilator. Miami is arguably the most disappointing team in the country following an awful finish to the season. The Hurricanes have lost nine straight games after a 6-5 start in the Atlantic Coast Conference with the losing streak starting with a disheartening 60-38 loss to Virginia and the memories of going to the Final Four last season are distant. The good thing heading into the conference tournament as there is zero pressure on Miami and this is a veteran team with a coach with plenty of postseason experience and will be looking to avoid three losses to a team that is not any better. Boston College closed the regular season with a pair of wins over Miami and Louisville to finish 8-12 in the ACC. The Eagles finished right about where they were supposed to but did have one fewer conference win than last season and their seven Quad 2 losses tied for most in the conference. While the offense improved dramatically from last season, the defense regressed significantly as Boston College finished in the bottom third in the country in most significant categories. 10* (615) Miami Hurricanes |

03-12-24 | Wisc-Milwaukee v. Oakland -3.5 | Top | 76-83 | Win | 100 | 10 h 0 m | Show |
This is a play on the OAKLAND GOLDEN GRIZZLIES for our Horizon Championship Winner. Oakland won the Horizon League regular season championship with a 15-5 record and has now advanced to the championship after a win over Cleveland St. that got close near the end after the Golden Grizzlies built an 11-point lead. Oakland also led the conference in NET ranking and it is nearly 90 spots higher than Milwaukee who they swept in the season series and overall, the Golden Grizzlies went 13-0 in Quad 4 games which is where this one falls being on a neutral floor. Following the upset over Northern Kentucky last night, the Panthers are riding a six-game winning streak coming into the Horizon Championship but two of those wins were against 3-37 Detroit and IUPUI and two others against Green Bay which completely collapsed at the end of the season. Milwaukee got 27 points from B.J. Freeman who is the glue of the offense but Oakland counters with Trey Townsend who had a rough game last night but is the Horizon League Player of the Year. 10* (624) Oakland Golden Grizzlies |

03-12-24 | Davidson -3.5 v. Fordham | Top | 63-71 | Loss | -120 | 16 h 31 m | Show |
This is a play on the DAVIDSON WILDCATS for our A-10 Afternoon Dominator. Davidson closed the season with five straight losses to finish 5-13 in the Atlantic Ten Conference and got the No. 13 seed in the conference tournament. Expectations were low coming into the season and the Wildcats finished 15-16 overall during the regular season and will need at least two wins to avoid its second straight losing season and the second one since 2001. Despite the low seeding, Davidson finished No. 10 in the conference in the NET rankings, well ahead of Fordham and they get a good matchup in the first round after sweeping the Rams this season. Fordham had higher expectations after finishing in a tie for second in the conference last season but could get nothing going as it finished 6-12. The Rams did finish right behind the Wildcats in the NET rankings but they were 65 spots lower at No. 184 overall. This team cannot shoot as they are No. 346 in the country in field goal percentage including No. 305 from behind the arc and Fordham scored 70 points or more only three times in its last 15 games. 10* (601) Davidson Wildcats |

03-11-24 | Wisc-Milwaukee v. Northern Kentucky | Top | 82-75 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 12 m | Show |
This is a play on the NORTHERN KENTUCKY NORSE for our Horizon Tourney Crusher. Northern Kentucky went through a three-game losing streak in January-February but has gone 7-2 over its last nine games following a win over Wright St. in overtime on Thursday. The last defeat prior to this run was against the Raiders which was also its last regular season loss to it avenged those defeats. The only other loss for the Norse over this stretch was a one point loss at Milwaukee so there is more revenge on the table with value as we have this number at -3 and it is essentially a win and cover game. The Panthers are riding a five-game winning streak coming into the Semifinals but two of those wins were against 3-37 Detroit and IUPUI and two others against Green Bay which completely collapsed at the end of the season. Milwaukee has the best player on the floor tonight in B.J. Freeman who scored 32 points in his last game against Green Bay but overall, this is not a good offense and faces one of the best defenses in the conference. 10* (858) Northern Kentucky Norse |

03-11-24 | Stony Brook v. Hofstra -6.5 | Top | 63-59 | Loss | -120 | 12 h 41 m | Show |
This is a play on the HOFSTRA PRIDE for our CAA Tourney Dominator. Stony Brook is coming off an improbable double-overtime win over Drexel as it really had no business winning. Stony Brook led for 3:18 in the game, while Drexel held an advantage for more than 40 minutes. The Seawolves led for just 29 seconds in regulation yet they move on and they are the lowest-seeded team to appear in the Coastal Athletic Association semifinal round since Elon advanced as the No. 8 seed in the 2021 tournament. Playing its third game in three days including the double-overtime, fatigue will come into play. Hofstra lost its regular season finale at Charleston in what was a meaningless game for the Pride and they come in on a roll, going 12-2 over their last 14 games following a 15-point win over Delaware on Sunday. They fell down early but used a run to end the first half that carried into the second half and never looked back and experience will pay dividends here. With 20 wins on the season, it marks the fifth consecutive 20-win season for Hofstra and the defense will be the difference here with a more rested team. 10* (854) Hofstra Pride |

03-11-24 | Warriors -4.5 v. Spurs | Top | 112-102 | Win | 100 | 8 h 40 m | Show |
This is a play on the GOLDEN ST. WARRIORS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. This is the second game of a home-and-home with Golden St. losing their home meeting by 13 points on Saturday and the Warriors have now dropped two straight games. They remain No. 10 in the Western Conference with a 4.5-game lead over Houston and they will have to navigate this three-game roadtrip without Steph Curry and while his absence is big, the defense is what needs to improve after allowing 52 percent shooting the last two games. San Antonio has won three of its last five games after the Saturday victory and it gets Victor Wembanyama back after missing two games. his return along with the Curry absence is making this an overadjusted line as this is the smallest number it has seen at home as an underdog since getting 3.5 points against Utah the day after Christmas. The Spurs are No. 24 in defensive efficiency and the last game was an aberration with Golden St. only taking 88 shots. Here, we play on road favorites revenging a home loss, off an upset loss by 10 points or more as a favorite. This situation is 22-3 ATS (88 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (539) Golden St. Warriors |

This is a play on the WEBER ST. WILDCATS for our Big Sky Tourney Annihilator. Weber St. closed January on a 1-5 run but got hot when necessary as it won eight of its next nine games before losing its season finale at Montana St. by 12 points. The Wildcats were locked into the No. 4 seed and now have the chance for immediate revenge with good line value as we have this number at 9.5. That was one of four Quad 4 losses as opposed to 10 wins and the Wildcats not only have the best player in the conference in Dillon Jones but Weber St. leads the Big sky in scoring defense, scoring margin, and turnover margin. Montana St. went 9-9 in the Big Sky Conference and despite the win over Weber St. to close, the Bobcats did not finish strong as they went 3-6 down the stretch. They were above average at home but won only four games on the highway which includes three in the conference but those were against Idaho, Idaho St. and Sacramento St. which were the three worst teams in the conference with a combined record of 16-38. Overall, Montana St. is just 2-7 in Quad 3 games. 10* (868) Weber St. Wildcats |

03-10-24 | Nets +7.5 v. Cavs | Top | 120-101 | Win | 100 | 8 h 50 m | Show |
This is a play on the BROOKLYN NETS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Brooklyn lost its second straight game against an awful team as it fell to the Hornets by 11 points following a loss against Detroit on Thursday and now we are seeing an inflated line. This is a great buy low spot as there will be no one backing this Nets team but the good news is that Can Johnson is back and scored 31 last night despite the loss and chemistry should be better with the needed offense in this matchup. Cleveland is coming off a win over Minnesota on Friday and the Cavaliers are in a tough spot off a big win playing a bad team with Phoenix on deck. They have the second best record since the calendar turned at 23-8 and have moved into the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference, eight games behind Boston and a half-game ahead of Milwaukee. The Cavaliers are short-handed without Donovan Mitchell and have Evan Mobley and Max Strus, two double-digit scorers also out. Here, we play on teams revenging a home loss, off an upset loss of 10 points or more as a road favorite. This situation is 36-10 ATS (78.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (529) Brooklyn Nets |

03-10-24 | Illinois v. Iowa +1.5 | Top | 73-61 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 26 m | Show |
This is a play on the IOWA HAWKEYES for our Sun. CBB Star Attraction. Illinois is coming off a loss at home against Purdue on Tuesday in what was a fairly meaningless game except playing for some pride and being the last home game of the season. The Illini are now in another meaningless game as they have already locked in the No. 2 seed in the Big 10 Conference Tournament with their 13-6 record and will avoid the Boilermakers until the final game should both win their first two games. Illinois is 5-5 on the road and has gone 5-6 in Quad 1 games which is where this one qualifies at. The situation is much different for Iowa and there are currently six conference teams projected to make the NCAA Tournament and the Hawkeyes are not one of those. They are currently one of the last four teams out so a win here would be huge as they have moved in the right direction with wins in four of their last five games, three of which were Quad 1 wins, and the lone loss over this stretch was at Illinois so there is revenge in play as well. Iowa is 13-3 at home which includes wins in four straight and this is the big one. 10* (814) Iowa Hawkeyes |
|||||||
03-10-24 | Stony Brook v. Drexel -4 | Top | 91-88 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 5 m | Show |
This is a play on the DREXEL DRAGONS for our CAA Tourney Dominator. The top eight teams in the Coastal Athletic Association made it to the quarterfinals with Stony Brook being the lowest rated team at No. 190 in the NET rankings. Only Delaware was close to its record outside of Quad 4 games, where the Seawolves went 17-2, but were just 1-12 in their 13 games in the first three quadrants. They are on a 4-1 run over their last five games but three of those wins were against the bottom of the conference with the other coming against that Delaware team. Drexel is also on a 5-1 run as that six-game stretch to end the regular season clinched the No. 2 spot in the conference with a 13-5 record. All five of those losses were true road games including a stretch to open February where the Dragons had to play three straight road games and against teams that are still playing this weekend. Drexel went 7-10 on the road with just one of those games being on a neutral floor which resulted in a win over Villanova. 10* (822) Drexel Dragons |

03-10-24 | Furman v. Samford -2 | Top | 77-84 | Win | 100 | 6 h 53 m | Show |
This is a play on the SAMFORD BULLDOGS for our SoCon Tourney Crusher. We played against Furman yesterday and caught a bad break as Western Carolina led throughout but the Paladins ended up winning in overtime. They were very solid at home throughout the season with a 12-3 record but they are now 5-12 away from home including 2-2 on a neutral floor, the other win coming against Coastal Carolina. Furman is just 6-6 in its last 12 games with two of those wins against VMI and The Citadel. Samford reminds us a lot like Morehead St. as it was the dominant team in the conference throughout the season and is the clear team to beat in the Southern Conference with the metrics ahead of the rest of the bunch by a significant amount. We have this number at 7.5 on a neutral floor so there is a ton of value with this number and the Bulldogs got a weapon back yesterday as guard A.J. Staton-McCray made his return and while he only scored two points in 13 minutes, he averaged 12.6 ppg during the regular season and will be more involved. 10* (828) Samford Bulldogs |
|||||||
03-10-24 | Bucks -4.5 v. Clippers | Top | 124-117 | Win | 100 | 4 h 57 m | Show |
This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BUCKS for our NBA Afternoon Dominator. The Clippers are coming off a win over the Bulls yesterday as they rallied from an 11-point halftime deficit to make it two straight wins and extends their 4-1 run. This is a rare tough situation with Los Angeles playing back-to-back day games and that is one we are facing here, especially in this city and we could see some rest based on this line move. The Clippers remain in the No. 4 spot in the Western Conference but have struggled against the top teams, going 8-12 against the top ten and they are only 3-9 as underdogs. Milwaukee has dropped two straight games and has the benefit of having the extra day off while still playing in the same arena following its most recent loss against the Lakers. This recent stretch followed a six-game winning streak coming out of the All Star break and the Bucks are now a half-game behind Cleveland for second place in the Eastern Conference and that big home court, semifinal edge. Here, we play on road favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in the second half of the season off an upset loss as a favorite. This situation is 52-21 ATS (71.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (515) Milwaukee Bucks |

03-09-24 | Arizona State v. UCLA -6.5 | Top | 47-59 | Win | 100 | 25 h 21 m | Show |
This is a play on the UCLA BRUINS for our Pac 12 Game of the Year. UCLA was making a run at a possible at large berth for the NCAA Tournament but that is all but gone. It has been a streaky season in the Pac 12 Conference for the Bruins which opened 3-5 before winning six straight games but has since lost their last five games including a 23-point loss against Arizona on Thursday. Now they go from facing one of the best offenses in the country to one of the worst and UCLA is No. 2 in the conference in scoring defense and shooting defense and now at just 8-7 at home, they want to close the season with a winning record at Pauley Pavilion. Arizona St. has been in a freefall as it opened 4-0 in the conference but has lost 11 of its last 15 games to fall into ninth place. The Sun Devils are just 3-7 on the road following an eight-point loss at USC and while they covered the number, it was inflated and they are getting over a bucket less here against a team better than the Trojans. They do own a solid road win at Utah but the other two were at California and Stanford by five points combined back in December. 10* (732) UCLA Bruins |
|||||||
03-09-24 | Cal-Irvine v. CS-Fullerton +9.5 | Top | 81-71 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 32 m | Show |
This is a play on the CSU FULLERTON TITANS for our Sat. CBB Ultimate Underdog. UC Irvine clinched the Big West Conference regular season championship with a win over Cal Poly on Thursday coupled with the UC San Diego loss to UC Davis. The Anteaters improved to 16-3 and coming off the clincher along with their final home game of the season, this game is absolutely meaningless. They are 7-6 on the road which does include a 6-3 record in the conference but four of those wins were against teams with losing records and now face a team with a ton more incentive. It has been a rough season for CSU Fullerton which fell to 7-12 in the conference following a must win loss against UC Riverside on Thursday. With the defeat, the Titans were knocked out of the conference tournament as they cannot reach the No. 8 and final spot so this marks not only their final home game of the season, but their final game overall as they will not be going to any postseason tournament. Close the season right is the goal and against a rival will at least end on a good note and we are getting points on top of it. 10* (722) CSU Fullerton Titans |

03-09-24 | Celtics -5.5 v. Suns | Top | 117-107 | Win | 100 | 10 h 30 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. This is a great bounce back spot for Boston which has lost two straight games following an 11-game winning streak. The Celtics blew a 22-point lead in the fourth quarter against Cleveland as they allowed Dean Wade to have a career game in the final quarter and could not rebound against Denver. This is just the second time all season that Boston has lost consecutive games and catches a short-handed Phoenix team in a get right spot. The Suns have won two straight games including a win at Denver where Boston could not win but they welcome the Celtics at the wrong time. Phoenix has been decent at home by going 21-13 but it is just 12-21-1 against the number which includes losses in all four games as a home underdog, failing to cover any of those and losing all four by either eight or nine points. Devin Booker remains out which is not good against one of the best defenses in the league. Here, we play on road favorites off two or more consecutive upset losses as a favorite going up against an opponent off a home win. This situation is 54-22 ATS (71.1 percent) since 1996. 10* (507) Boston Celtics |

03-09-24 | New Mexico v. Utah State -3.5 | Top | 85-87 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 14 m | Show |
This is a play on the UTAH ST. AGGIES for our Sat. CBB Signature Enforcer. Utah St. has won four straight games, albeit the last three against the three worst teams in the Mountain West Conference, to maintain its hold on first place, one game over Nevada, Boise St. and UNLV. The math is simple as a win here and the Aggies clinch the regular season conference championship for the first time in 11 years and this was not expected to be the season to do it with no starters back, no returning points on the entire roster and a new head coach. Utah St. is 13-1 inside the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum this season and 27-3 the last two years. New Mexico snapped a two-game losing streak with a win over Fresno St. and it has been a mediocre stretch for the Lobos as they are just 5-5 over their last 10 games after opening conference play 5-2. New Mexico is actually No. 2 in the conference in NET ranking and that is helping with this number and the fact the Lobos are just 2-6 in Quad 1 games, the lowest percentage of any of the top seven teams. They are 5-5 on the road with a one point win at Nevada being the only good one. 10* (714) Utah St. Aggies |
|||||||
03-09-24 | Furman v. Western Carolina +1.5 | Top | 79-76 | Loss | -115 | 23 h 39 m | Show |
This is a play on the WESTERN CAROLINA CATAMOUNTS for our SoCon Tourney Crusher. Furman had a solid midseason run after a rough start because of injuries as it went on a 9-3 run but has since lost three of its last four games and the Paladins closed the season 10-8 in the Southern Conference. They were still very solid at home throughout the season with a 12-3 record but they did go 4-12 away from home including 1-2 n a neutral floor. Furman does have two great guards in Marcus Foster and J.P. Pegues which average 35.2 ppg combined and while we will always stress guard play this time of year, it is if offset in this matchup. Western Carolina finished 11-7 in the conference which was good for the No. 4 seed thanks to winning its final three games. The Catamounts could have actually been a lot better but did have some tough breaks as they lost six of their seven conference games by two possessions or less including two in overtime. This should be a very dangerous team with their top four scorers being guard that average 59.4 ppg, all averaging double digits. 10* (750) Western Carolina Catamounts |
|||||||
03-09-24 | Morehead State -2 v. Arkansas-Little Rock | Top | 69-55 | Win | 100 | 11 h 3 m | Show |
This is a play on the MOREHEAD ST. EAGLES for our OVC Championship Winner. Morehead St. controlled first place in the Ohio Valley Conference for most of the season but a three-game losing streak in mid-February brought back the rest of the pack and a season ending three-game winning streak could not lock down one of the two top seeds. The Eagles got the win over UT Martin on Friday where they needed a big second half to pull away in the six-point win. Morehead St. has been the best team in the conference while laying a short price in the championship game as we have this number at -7. Little Rock has been the hottest team in the conference with 10 straight wins after rolling over Western Illinois by 25 points last night. This is the reason the line is lower than it should be but despite the recent run, the Trojans are well behind Morehead St. in the power ratings as they are 75 spots back in the NET rankings and 55 spots back in the KenPom ratings. They pulled out the win in the lone meeting with the Eagles this season but that was at home and by just one point thanks to a 16-4 edge at the free throw line. 10* (771) Morehead St. Eagles |
|||||||
03-09-24 | Clemson v. Wake Forest -3 | Top | 76-81 | Win | 100 | 21 h 9 m | Show |
This is a play on the WAKE FOREST DEMON DEACONS for our Sat. CBB Supreme Annihilator. Wake Forest picked up that huge win over Duke two weeks ago which got it on the inside of the bubble for the NCAA Tournament but it is now on the outside as one of the last eight teams out. The reason is the Demon Deacons have lost three straight games since that victory over the Blue Devils and they have been bad losses, all against teams that have losing records in the Atlantic Coast Conference. This includes a one-point loss against Georgia Tech at home which was their first home loss of the season and they remain in Winston-Salem for their final home game and an opportunity for a much needed Quad 1 victory. Clemson improved to 11-8 in the conference with a win over Syracuse in its final home game of the season and it is tied with Pittsburgh for fourth place so this is a big game for the Tigers as well. They are 6-5 on the road and while that includes solid wins at Alabama and North Carolina, it also includes some bad losses. 10* (688) Wake Forest Demon Deacons |
|||||||
03-09-24 | UC-Davis v. Long Beach State -1.5 | Top | 88-78 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 55 m | Show |
This is a play on the LONG BEACH ST. BEACH for our Sat. CBB Rivalry Rout. Long Beach St. had won five straight games to move to 10-5 in the Big West Conference which put it into fourth place but it has lost its last four games heading into its regular season finale. The good news is that the Beach have not lost much ground as they are still tied for fourth place and can clinch the No. 4 seed in the upcoming conference tournament which comes with a first round bye with a win here and a Hawaii loss. Should Hawaii win, they can still clinch it based on tiebreakers but plain and simple, they have to get it done in its final home game of the season where they are 8-4. UC Davis has won two straight games following a 1-4 run that knocked it out of contention for winning the regular season conference title. The Aggies played spoiler in their last game as they defeated UC San Diego to give Cal Irvine the championship. They moved to 13-6 in the conference which is good for third place and cannot move down and likely cannot move up as UC San Diego hosts 0-19 Cal Poly on Saturday which is a very likely blowout. 10* (690) Long Beach St. Beach |

03-09-24 | Bradley v. Drake -1.5 | Top | 67-72 | Win | 100 | 9 h 12 m | Show |
This is a play on the DRAKE BULLDOGS for our MVC Tourney Dominator. Drake can make a case for getting into the NCAA Tournament without winning the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament but that will not happen as it will get its spot stolen by a mediocre major conference team. The Bulldogs rolled over Evansville on Friday to get to the semifinals and they come in No. 48 in the NET rankings which is just 18 spots lower than Indiana St. They are 3-1 in Quad 1 games with the three wins being the most in the conference by two and the one loss being the fewest, also by two. Drake won both regular season meetings and beating the same team three times is tough but it is the better team and laying a very short number. Bradley also rolled in its quarterfinal game as it won by 27 points over Illinois-Chicago. The Braves finished 13-7 in the MVC during the regular season and of its 14 total conference wins, only four have been against teams with a winning record and two of those were against 11-9 Southern Illinois. 10* (762) Drake Bulldogs |
|||||||
03-09-24 | Florida International v. New Mexico State -2.5 | Top | 70-77 | Win | 100 | 20 h 37 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW MEXICO ST. AGGIES for our Sat. CBB Revenge Dominator. New Mexico St. snapped a six-game losing streak with an upset win at Jacksonville St. last Saturday to move to 6-9 in Conference USA and a win here can avoid a last place finish. The Aggies issues this season have been on the road where they are 1-13 but they return to Las Cruces where they are 11-3 with two conference losses coming against Sam Houston St. and Louisiana Tech, the two top teams in C-USA, and the other by one points against New Mexico. This is also a revenge game as the Aggies lost in Miami by 10 points. Florida International is coming off a loss at UTEP to all to 5-10 in the conference but it has been playing a lot more competitive. The Panthers have covered four of their last five games and the one non-cover was just a two-point loss at home against Jacksonville St. and this positive turnaround is keeping this number low. Like the Aggies, there have been road issues as they are 1-11 in true road games and 1-14 on the highway overall. The only road win was against No. 354 ranked Houston Christian. 10* (654) New Mexico St. Aggies |

03-09-24 | Kansas v. Houston -8 | Top | 46-76 | Win | 100 | 19 h 24 m | Show |
This is a play on the HOUSTON COUGARS for our Sat. CBB Star Attraction. Houston can clinch the outright Big 12 Conference championship with a win on Saturday to help solidify a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Cougars have met the challenge in their first season in the conference as they are 14-3 which is one game ahead of Iowa St. with the two teams having split their season series. They return home for their final game in Houston where they are 15-0 and have won each home game by at least eight points. They Cougars have won eight straight games, their last loss coming in Kansas by 13 points, easily their biggest loss of the season so payback is in order. Kansas won for us on Tuesday in a revenge game against Kansas St. to finish its home season 15-1. The Jayhawks have not been good on the road as they are 3-6 with all six of those losses coming in the conference and most against teams not nearly of the same caliber as Houston. The seven losses in the Big 12 are the most ever under Bill Self and they come in No. 5 in the conference in NET ranking. 10* (666) Houston Cougars |

03-09-24 | Texas A&M v. Ole Miss -1.5 | Top | 86-60 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 53 m | Show |
This is a play on the MISSISSIPPI REBELS for our Sat. CBB Early Dominator. Mississippi needs a magical week at the SEC Tournament to reach the NCAA Tournament but it needs to take care of business here. The Rebels are currently the No. 10 seed and a loss here could move them down which means they would have to play a first round game and face one of the top teams instead of getting a bye and playing either LSU, Mississippi St. or Texas A&M. This is the final home game of the season where they are 14-3, the three losses coming against Alabama, South Carolina and Auburn, all of which are 12-5. Texas A&M is 8-9 in the Southeastern Conference following a pair of wins against Georgia and Mississippi St. which followed a five-game losing streak. The Aggies will lose the tiebreaker to Mississippi with a loss as they also lost the first meeting at home. Texas A&M is also on the outside looking in for the NCAA Tournament and also will have to run the table next week but they are just 5-6 on the road this season with the best win coming against SMU in November. 10* (624) Mississippi Rebels |

03-08-24 | Morehead State v. Tenn-Martin +8.5 | Top | 84-78 | Win | 100 | 11 h 13 m | Show |
This is a play on the UT MARTIN SKYHAWKS for our Fri. CBB Signature Enforcer. Morehead St. controlled first place in the Ohio Valley Conference for most of the season but a three-game losing streak in mid-February brought back the rest of the pack and a season ending three-game winning streak could not lock down one of the two top seeds. The Eagles ended up with the No. 3 seed and played on Thursday and pulled out a 15-point win over SIUE and while the non-rest should not affect them, they are getting a little too much credit here. UT Martin closed the season on a seven-game winning streak to finished in a three-way tie for first place at 14-4 and was able to gran the No. 2 seed. They were underdogs only twice during this recent stretch and they have been an underdog of this many points only once in conference play which came against Morehead St. at the same number but that was a true road game. They were unable to cover that but now on a neutral floor, there is huge value on UT Martin. 10* (888) UT Martin Skyhawks |

03-08-24 | Pepperdine v. San Diego +3 | Top | 52-57 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the SAN DIEGO TOREROS for our Fri. CBB Supreme Annihilator. Pepperdine is getting a little too much credit coming off its 59-point win over 0-17 Pacific whose season thankfully came to an end. The Waves finished 5-11 in the West Coast Conference during the regular season which was goof for a three-way tie for sixth place but lost the tiebreakers so had to play the first round game. The record included a split with San Diego while half of their overall conference wins came against aforementioned Pacific. San Diego had a rough start to the conference season as it opened 0-5 but finished strong as the Toreros 7-4 over their final 11 games with three of those defeats being true road losses. They were one of the five teams in the conference that had winning overall records which was a huge accomplishment after being picked to finish last in the WCC following a miserable 4-12 season last year. Guard play is brought up a lot this time of year and San Diego has an awesome backcourt led by leading scorers Deuce turner and Wayne McKinney III, averaging 29.5 ppg combined. 10* (892) San Diego Toreros |

03-08-24 | Hawks -2 v. Grizzlies | Top | 99-92 | Win | 100 | 8 h 35 m | Show |
This is a play on the ATLANTA HAWKS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Atlanta has won two straight games following a home win over Cleveland on Wednesday and we will back the Hawks once again who are doing just fine without Trae Young, going 4-2 in six games he has been absent. Atlanta has taken care of the injury riddled teams and it catches another one on Friday for another great spot. While the Hawks are the worst ATS team in the league, they have been decent in this role and have fared much better against the Western Conference. Memphis is coming off an upset win at Philadelphia on Wednesday which was its second straight road upset, the first coming at Brooklyn. The Grizzlies have been much better on the road than at home as they are just 7-24 in Memphis including a 4-18 record as home underdogs. The injury list is now 10-deep as yet another starter was hurt last game and is listed as doubtful. Here, we play against underdogs in the second half of the season coming off two or more consecutive upset wins as a road underdog. This situation is 86-45 ATS (65.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (569) Atlanta Hawks |

03-08-24 | Belmont v. Northern Iowa +1.5 | Top | 62-67 | Win | 100 | 5 h 7 m | Show |
This is a play on the NORTHERN IOWA PANTHERS for our Fri. CBB Afternoon Dominator. Belmont rolled over Valparaiso on Thursday by 25 points for its fourth straight win while also on an 8-1 run. This recent stretch has the Bruins favored despite being the lower seed and have a lower NET ranking. The win over the Beacons pushed them to 12-0 in Quad 4 games, one of only two teams in the Missouri Valley Conference not to have lost a Quad 4 game but they have struggled everywhere else, going 8-12 against the other three quadrants. Northern Iowa comes in on a roll of its own as it has won three straight games and five of its last six which enabled it to get the higher seed and the extra day off. While the run does include a pair of wins over hapless Valparaiso, it also includes victories over Bradley and Drake. Guard play is huge this time of year and the Panthers have two of the best with Nate Heise and Bowen born who are averaging a combined 27.1 ppg. The Panthers also have arguably the best MVC coach in this situation in Ben Jacobson. 10* (872) Northern Iowa Panthers |

03-07-24 | CS-Fullerton v. Cal-Riverside -2.5 | Top | 74-84 | Win | 100 | 12 h 19 m | Show |
This is a play on the UC RIVERSIDE HIGHLANDERS for our Thu. CBB Supreme Annihilator. This is a must win scenario for both sides as Big West Conference Tournament bids are on the line and we favor the home team at a short price. UC Riverside is tied with UC Santa Barbara for the No. 7 and No. 8 seeds which are the final two spots but two teams trail by a half-game and one game so the Highlanders need to protect home court. This is their final home game of the season with the season finale coming at UC Santa Barbara so losses in these games will eliminate them. They are 9-5 at home which includes two straight losses and the value is on their side. CSU Fullerton has kept its tournament hopes alive following a pair of wins last week against Long Beach St. and UC Santa Barbara following a 1-6 stretch. This included three straight road losses and while it is 6-9 on the road, half of those wins came against Sacramento St., Pepperdine and Cal Poly which are a combined 24-68. Titans head coach Dedrique Taylor said there is still no timetable for the return of Max Jones who is second on the team with 15.3 ppg. 10* (764) UC Riverside Highlanders |

03-07-24 | Colorado v. Oregon -2.5 | Top | 79-75 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 29 m | Show |
This is a play on the OREGON DUCKS for our Thu. CBB Star Attraction. Oregon is coming off a split last week following a loss in Arizona on Saturday in a game that was over from the start as Arizona outscored Oregon 38-11 from 16:19 remaining to 4:56 left in the first half to build a 43-18 lead. The Ducks are 11-7 in the Pac 12 Conference but that is not good enough for NCAA Tournament consideration at this point with their No. 64 NET ranking so it is going to take a sweep this weekend along with something special in the conference tournament. Oregon is 12-2 at home with the losses to the two top teams in the conference. Colorado is another fringe team for the NCAA Tournament as it is currently one of the last eight teams out so it is in shape to work itself in but there are no more home games and that has been the issue all season. The Buffaloes are 16-1 in Boulder with the only loss coming against Arizona but they are 2-7 in true road games with the wins coming against Washington and USC, both of which posses losing record in the conference. There is revenge in play as well with Oregon losing the first meeting by 16 points. 10* (752) Oregon Ducks |

03-07-24 | Wisc-Milwaukee v. Green Bay -1.5 | Top | 95-84 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the GREEN BAY PHOENIX for our Horizon Tourney Game of the Year. Green Bay was in control of the Horizon League up until the last three weeks as it closed 1-4 to fall from No. 1 to a tie for No. 3 to grab the third seed and a home game in the quarterfinals. The Phoenix lost their first game of this recent stretch by one point against Northern Kentucky while the other three losses were by double digits but those come with an asterisk. First team All-Horizon League guard Noah Reynolds missed the last four games due to an ankle injury but he is back and this is a different team with him on the floor. The recent slump included a 21-point loss to rival Milwaukee to close the regular season so there is plenty of payback in play. The Panthers finished as the No. 6 seed so they had to play a first round game but got a good draw playing Detroit-Mercy which was 1-29 coming in yet only won by four points on their home floor. Milwaukee finished only one game behind Green Bay but the draw puts them at a big disadvantage here and catch the Phoenix at the wrong time. 10* (800) Green Bay Phoenix |

03-07-24 | Heat v. Mavs -4.5 | Top | 108-114 | Win | 100 | 8 h 25 m | Show |
This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Miami is coming off a pair of wins but those were against Utah and Detroit at home and it failed to cover either of those and it now hits the road in a bad spot. The Heat are 11-3 over their last 14 games which has gotten them to nine games over .500 but the schedule has been in their favor as it has been all season, ranked No. 26 in the league. The Heat have dominated as favorites this season but are just 9-17 as underdogs. Dallas has dropped three straight games while going 1-5 over its last six games following a seven-game winning streak. The last two losses have come at home and this is the game to get right with road games against Detroit and Chicago on deck. The home floor has been pretty average at 18-15 but the Mavericks have dealt with a lot of injuries and while Luka Doncic is on the injury list, he has been upgraded to probable. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 after failing to cover the spread in two or more consecutive games, playing a winning team. This situation is 41-15 ATS (73.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (552) Dallas Mavericks |

03-07-24 | Texas State v. Southern Miss | Top | 75-59 | Loss | -118 | 8 h 10 m | Show |
This is a play on the SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI GOLDEN EAGLES for our Thu. CBB Signature Enforcer. Southern Mississippi is coming off a disappointing regular season as after winning the Sun Belt Conference regular season title last season, the Golden Eagles were picked to win it again but they ended up 9-9 to gain the No. 6 seed in the conference tournament. The closed the regular season with a pair of road losses at South Alabama and Louisiana and they have lost five straight games away from home. They opened as the underdog here and have moved to a slight favorite with a veteran team capable of going on a run. Texas St. has been on its own run and opened as favorites as it is riding a four-game winning streak, its second such run over its last 11 games, but the l9ine has flipped. Six of those recent wins were at home however and the Bobcats are coming off their second straight overtime victory, a 92-83 contest against Old Dominion on Tuesday to open the tournament. Despite two recent scoring surges, this is one of the worst offenses in the country. 10* (780) Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles |

03-07-24 | CS-Northridge +6.5 v. Hawaii | Top | 70-72 | Win | 100 | 15 h 42 m | Show |
This is a play on the CSU NORTHRIDGE MATADORS for our Wed. CBB Late Powerhouse. Hawaii is back on the island to close out its regular season with a pair of games this week. The Warriors are 9-9 in the Big West Conference following a win at UC Riverside to conclude a 4-6 road schedule and they come back home where they are 11-6 which includes four straight wins but it laying its biggest number against a team not names Cal Poly which is 0-18 in the conference. There is incentive for Hawaii after losing the first meeting by 10 points but winning by margin will be the challenge. CSU Northridge is a half-game behind Hawaii in the conference standings with the line telling us different. The Matadors got a scheduling break as they were fortunate not to be one of the unlucky teams that had to travel to Hawaii on a Saturday following a Thursday game as it has been off since Saturday. They are coming off two losses at home to close out that part of the schedule but those were against Cal Irvine and UC San Diego which are the top two teams in the conference. 10* (717) CSU Northridge Matadors |

03-06-24 | Cavs v. Hawks -1.5 | Top | 101-112 | Win | 100 | 9 h 3 m | Show |
This is a play on the ATLANTA HAWKS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Cleveland is coming off an upset win last night over Boston at home, snapping the 11-game Celtics winning streak, and now the Cavaliers hit the road in a big letdown spot. They have the second best record since the calendar turned at 22-7 and remain in the No. 3 spot in the Eastern Conference, eight games behind Boston but just a half-game behind Milwaukee. The Cavaliers are short-handed without Donovan Mitchell and have Evan Mobley and Max Strus, two double-digit scorers, questionable for tonight. Atlanta is also coming off a win last night as it defeated New York which has been in a tailspin and it was without its two top scorers as All Star Jalen Brunson missed his second straight game. The Hawks are still by far the least profitable team in the league with a 20-41 ATS record but the markets are finally catching up with another short number on Wednesday. Here, we play on home favorites with a winning percentage between .400 and .499 revenging a loss of 10 points or more, playing a winning team. This situation is 35-11 ATS (76.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (534) Atlanta Hawks |

This is a play on the MICHIGAN ST. SPARTANS for our Wed. CBB Star Attraction. Michigan St. has not played itself out of the NCAA Tournament but it does need to be careful. The Spartans have lost three straight games including two straight at home and the latest at Purdue by six points. This is the final home game of the season for Michigan St. which was 13-2 prior to the recent losses with those two losses coming against 28-3 James Madison in the first game of the season and the other against Wisconsin early on when the Badgers were playing good before their recent regression. Michigan St. used to own this series but has lost three straight meetings after a 14-point loss on the road earlier this season. Northwestern is coming off its second home loss of the season as it fell to Iowa by seven points to move to 11-7 in the Big Ten Conference. The Wildcats have come back down to earth following a huge start in the conference as they are 5-4 in their last nine games and while this does include wins in their last two road games, those were against Maryland and Indiana, neither of which are tournament teams. 10* (682) Michigan St. Spartans |

03-06-24 | LSU v. Arkansas -3.5 | Top | 83-94 | Win | 100 | 10 h 51 m | Show |
This is a play on the ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS for our Wed. CBB Signature Enforcer. While it is not quite the same as football, this is a big rivalry and Arkansas would like nothing more than to play spoilers and eliminate LSU from any chance of a slim opportunity of making an NCAA Tournament run. The Razorbacks are back home following a tough loss at Kentucky on Saturday with the defense not showing up and they are 10-6 in Fayetteville wit this being their last home game of the season. Arkansas has struggled against the better teams, going 3-13 in Quad 1 and 2 games but it is 11-2 in games outside those quadrants which is where this game falls. LSU is not really that close to the bubble but has made a move with wins in four of its last five games including victories against South Carolina and Kentucky. Three of these recent wins were by just one point each so things have gone their way and the Tigers remain on the road where they are 3-6 following a win at Vanderbilt in their last game on Saturday. Like Arkansas, LSU has struggled against the top teams for the most part and it is 1-5 in Quad 2 games. 10* (688) Arkansas Razorbacks |

03-06-24 | Villanova v. Seton Hall -1 | Top | 56-66 | Win | 100 | 10 h 41 m | Show |
This is a play on the SETON HALL PIRATES for our Big East Game of the Month. The Big East Conference looks to get six teams into the NCAA Tournament with both Villanova and Seton Hall both on the right side of the bubble. At this stage, wins in these spots go a long way and this is a big one for the Pirates as they are back home following blowout losses on the road at Connecticut and Creighton. They are 12-3 at home which includes four straight wins and along the way they have has victories against Marquette and Connecticut. There is also revenge in play after Seton Hall lost the first meeting by 26 points in Philadelphia. Villanova was on the outside looking in just three weeks ago but the win over Seton Hall started a 5-1 run with the lone loss coming against Connecticut. However, two of those wins were against 2-17 Georgetown with two others coming against teams not projected to make the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats are 4-7 on the road but two of those wins came against the two bottom teams in the conference with another coming in overtime. 10* (672) Seton Hall Pirates |

This is a play on the KANSAS JAYHAWKS for our Tue. CBB Star Attraction. This is the smash spot for Kansas as it is coming off back-to-back losses to BYU and Baylor and its seven Big 12 Conference losses are the most in the Bill Self era. The Jayhawks are 9-7 and are tied for fourth with BYU and Texas Tech and they are in jeopardy of losing out on the double bye in the upcoming conference tournament. This is the final home game of the season where they are 14-1 with the lone loss coming in their last game in Lawrence against BYU and also playing with revenge following an overtime loss in Manhattan in the first meeting. Kansas St. is coming off a loss at Cincinnati as it trailed big late only to make a huge comeback just to fall short. The Wildcats are 7-9 in the conference and on the outside looking in for the NCAA Tournament as they are 17-12 overall and that is a very fortunate record as they are a perfect 7-0 in overtime this season. The Wildcats average nearly two more turnovers per game than the next closest team in the conference and are tied with UCF for the worst assist-to-turnover ratio. 10* (648) Kansas Jayhawks |

03-05-24 | Duquesne v. VCU -5.5 | Top | 69-59 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 52 m | Show |
This is a play on the VCU RAMS for our Tue. CBB Signature Enforcer. VCU is coming off a loss at Richmond on Saturday by three points to fall to 11-5 in the Atlantic Ten Conference but it still holds down the No. 4 spot. The Rams still have a two-game lead over Massachusetts and with just two games left, they can secure the spot and the coveted double bye with a win here. This is their final home game of the season where they are 13-5 that includes six straight wins after a 0-2 start in their conference home games. The extra game off in the tournament is big to make a run as they will need to win it to gain a berth into the NCAA Tournament. Duquesne is coming off a pair of wins last week including a solid road win at George Mason which secured a first round bye as it has avoided the bottom six spots in the conference. The Dukes are now in a spot with nothing to play for as they cannot move up and have their final home game on deck. Duquesne is 4-6 on the road with the only other significant road victory coming at St. Bonaventure and overall it has just one Quad 1 win. 10* (604) VCU Rams |

03-05-24 | Virginia Tech v. Louisville +8 | Top | 80-64 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 38 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOUISVILLE CARDINALS for our Tue. CBB Ultimate Underdog. This is the ultimate contrarian spot with Louisville which is coming off its fifth straight loss to fall to 3-15 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Cardinals have failed to cover any of those five games but three of those were on the road and the last defeat was by just six points where they failed to cover by a point. Louisville is locked into the No. 15 seed in the upcoming conference tournament and while it has been another lost season, it has been a good turnaround by already doubling their wins from last season. This is the fist of two final home games for the Cardinals which are a respectable 7-9 on their home floor. Virginia Tech is laying a big number on the road with the only reason being the opponent and not its own success. The Hokies are 1-9 on the road and while the lone win was a decent one at NC State, this is not the spot as they are in the rare situation of being favored on the road where they have lost both games outright at Notre Dame and Florida St. 10* (628) Louisville Cardinals |

03-04-24 | Bulls +7.5 v. Kings | Top | 113-109 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show |
This is a play on the CHICAGO BULLS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. We waited on this based on the questionable status of De'Aaron Fox and while he did participate in shootaround this afternoon which has spiked this number from this morning, it is unclear if he goes as he made the last shootaround but still missed his second straight game with a knee injury. The Kings are coming off an upset win at Minnesota and have a game at the Lakers on deck and after winning the Pacific Division last season, they are five games behind the Clippers. They have been pretty average at home going 16-10 while covering only 11 of those games and they are 9-14 as home favorites. Chicago closed a 1-2 homestand with a 16-point loss against Milwaukee and opens up a four-game roadtrip out west in a good bounce back spot as it is 19-12 following a loss this season. The Bulls are sitting in the No. 9 spot in the Eastern Conference as they are four games under .500 but have been profitable this season as well as on the road. Here, we play against favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after allowing 115 points or more two straight games going up against an opponent after a blowout loss by 15 points or more. This situation is 76-40 ATS (65.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (509) Chicago Bulls |

This is a play on the NORTHERN ARIZONA LUMBERJACKS for our Big Sky Game of the Year. Northern Arizona is coming off a loss at Weber St. on Saturday to drop to 7-10 in the Big Sky Conference and it is back home for its final regular season game in a big spot. Currently sitting in a three-way tie for the six seed entering the conference tournament, the Lumberjacks need a victory as they are battling for the final slot for the first-round bye as the top six teams automatically move on to the second round. 20 of 31 games have been on the road as they come in 7-4 at home including wins in two of their last three games. Northern Colorado bounced back from losses against Eastern Washington and Weber St. with a win at Idaho St. and the Bears have already locked up a top four seed in the upcoming tournament. They are 6-8 on the road which includes a 4-4 record in the conference but only one of the four wins was a dominating one as two came by five points or less against a pair of bad teams while another came in overtime. The Bears have been solid when getting points but just 1-4 as road favorites. 10* (884) Northern Arizona Lumberjacks |

03-03-24 | Pacers -6.5 v. Spurs | Top | 105-117 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 60 m | Show |
This is a play on the INDIANA PACERS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Indiana is in a good bounce back spot tonight following a loss in New Orleans on Friday as it is now 34-28 which has it in eighth place in the Eastern Conference. While the team looks to bounce back, Tyrese Haliburton looks for the same as he is coming off a scoreless game against the Pelicans while dishing out only three assists. The Pacers are two games under .500 on the road but has a very favorable matchup against one of the worst defenses in the NBA and Indiana has gone 4-0 in its last four games following a loss. San Antonio is coming off a home upset over Oklahoma City on Thursday as it won by 14 points as an 11-point underdog which snapped a five-game losing streak. The Spurs have won consecutive games only three times the entire season as they are just 3-8 following a victory. There is no home court edge as they are just 6-21 in San Antonio which includes a 3-20 record as underdogs. Here, we play against underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points after a win by 10 points or more going up against an opponent after trailing in their previous game by 15 or more points at the half. This situation is 36-14 ATS (72 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (589) Indiana Pacers |

This is a play on the NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS for our Sun. CBB Star Attraction. Nebraska is coming off a nine-point loss at Ohio St. to fall to 10-8 in the Big Ten Conference but are still in line for an at large berth into the NCAA Tournament. Nebraska is back home where it is 17-1 that includes three Quad 1 wins which came against Purdue, Michigan St. and Wisconsin and the issue now is that it can only play itself out with no more Quad 1 games remaining and it cannot lose these fringe Quad 2 and Quad 3 games. this is the final home games of the season and there is revenge in play as well with the Huskers having lost in Rutgers by five points in overtime. The Scarlet Knights snapped a three-game losing streak with a win against Michigan on Thursday to improve to 7-10 in the conference and are well out of NCAA Tournament consideration. Their home floor has been solid once again as Rutgers is 12-4 with one home game remaining to close the season but the highway has been the problem as the Scarlet Knights are 3-7 which includes two conference wins but both of those were against teams with losing records. 10* (850) Nebraska Cornhuskers |

This is a play on the ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE for our Sat. CBB Rivalry Rout. First place is on the line in the Southeastern Conference with Tennessee and Alabama both sitting at 12-3 with three games remaining. The Crimson Tide shook off a bad loss at Kentucky last Saturday with a 15-point win at Mississippi and are back home where they are 13-1, the lone loss coming against Clemson back in November. Alabama has followed up its last three losses with wins including a victory here over Auburn which came after a 20-point loss at Tennessee so there is some payback in play in addition to the top spot in the conference. Tennessee has won five straight games including a big win against Auburn in its last game and this is its first role as the underdog in a month. The Volunteers are 6-3 on the road and while that includes a solid win at Kentucky, the other four SEC road wins have come against the four worst teams in the conference. 10* (772) Alabama Crimson Tide |

03-02-24 | Kansas State v. Cincinnati -6 | Top | 72-74 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 43 m | Show |
This is a play on the CINCINNATI BEARCATS for our Sat. CBB Contrarian Closer. It has been a disappointing first season in the Big 12 Conference for Cincinnati as it has fallen to 5-10 following its third consecutive loss in a solid effort at Houston. Two losses have come against the Cougars during its recent 1-5 stretch with two others coming against Iowa St. and TCU, both of which are also in the top four in the conference. The Bearcats are also riding a three-game losing streak at home after opening 12-2 and this is a great bounce back spot to avoid potentially falling into last place. Kansas St. made a run to the Elite Eight last season but the Wildcats have had an inconsistent follow up season. They have won two straight games but that was after a 1-7 stretch and the two recent wins have come at home where they are 13-3 including a win in overtime over Kansas but they are back on the road where they are 2-6 with the only Big 12 win at West Virginia. 10* (746) Cincinnati Bearcats |

This is a play on the TEXAS A&M AGGIES for our Sat. CBB Star Attraction. Texas A&M is coming off its fifth straight loss following a defeat at home against South Carolina to fall to 6-9 in the Southeastern Conference. The Aggies are back on the road where they are 4-6 following three straight losses but the last two have been against SEC co-leaders Tennessee and Alabama which came after an inexcusable loss at Vanderbilt and every game is huge. Texas A&M has gone from a likely lock for the NCAA Tournament to being outside the bubble with the latest loss putting them into one of the last eight teams out. Georgia is coming off a tough one point loss at LSU and it has been a miserable stretch for the Bulldogs which are 1-8 over their last nine games after starting the season 14-5. They are now 5-10 in the conference, one of four teams with double-digit losses in the SEC and come into here just 3-13 in Quad 1 and 2 games. 10* (729) Texas A&M Aggies |

03-02-24 | Texas-San Antonio v. SMU -16.5 | Top | 77-73 | Loss | -115 | 3 h 11 m | Show |
This is a play on the SMU MUSTANGS for our Sat. CBB Supreme Annihilator. SMU had a six-game winning streak snapped with a pair of road losses at Florida Atlantic and South Florida which are two of the top three teams ahead of the Mustangs in the American Athletic Conference but they are still in good standing. They are tied with UAB at 10-5 for fourth place and head home where they are 13-2 this season with a loss again Texas A&M early in the season ad the other loss coming against Dayton by a bucket. This is the smash spot to get right. UTSA is still tied for last in the conference at 4-12 despite two straight wins which includes a win at North Texas as a 14-point underdog. That was just the third road win for the Roadrunners which are 3-11 including six straight losses in the conference. They are on a 5-0 ATS run and that is giving us value here with UTSA hitting the road for the last time before their final home game of the season. 10* (662) SMU Mustangs |

This is a play on the GEORGE MASON PATRIOTS Sat. CBB Signature Enforcer. George Mason was riding a three-game winning streak to get to 7-6 in the Atlantic Ten Conference but it has lost two straight games, both coming on the road at Fordham and Loyola-Chicago. The Patriots are in a tie for seventh place in the conference with a good chance to move up to at least No. 5 with a favorable schedule to close the season out. They return home where they are 13-2 with the two losses coming against VCU and the Ramblers which are second and third in the conference. Duquesne is tied with the Patriots at 7-8 following a win over LaSalle on Wednesday and it has been a disappointing season for the Dukes as well as they came in as a sleeper contender. They hit the road where they are just 3-6 and while it does include a solid win at St. Bonaventure, the only other conference win was at 5-10 Rhode Island as well as a nonconference win at Marshall. 10* (638) George Mason Patriots |

This is a play on the UNC WILMINGTON SEAHAWKS for our CAA Game of the Year. UNC Wilmington is coming off a second straight loss which dropped the Seahawks into a two-way tie for fourth place in the Coastal Athletic Association at 11-6. The loss against Hofstra was just their second one at home and while that one was a big one, this one is just as important and it is a great rebound spot on Senior Day. A victory here locks up the fourth seed in the upcoming CAA Tournament and the coveted double bye and this is where the home floor takes over and in a solid revenge spot after a three-point loss last month. Towson has been on an up and down run, going 4-4 over its last eight games to remain tied with the Seahawks. The Tigers defeated North Carolina AT&T on Thursday and while that moved them to 2-2 in their last four road games, the other win was at William & Mary with those two teams a combined 8-26 in the conference. 10* (654) UNC Wilmington Seahawks |

This is a play on the WISCONSIN BADGERS for our Sat. CBB Early Dominator. Wisconsin opened the season 16-4 and moved up to No. 6 in the AP Poll at the end of January but it has been a rough stretch since then with the Badgers completely leaving the Top 25. They have gone 2-6 over their last eight games to fall into fourth place in the Big Ten Conference and they have failed to cover any of those eight games to go to 10-16-2 against the number. All that does is give up value heading into this game which is a big one to keep hold of that fourth slot as they close the season at Purdue. Illinois has won two straight games following a bad loss at Penn St. and the Fighting Illini remain a game ahead of Northwestern for second place in the conference. They have dominated at home but are just 4-5 on the road and while all four of those are conference wins, they have come against four of the five worst teams in the conference. 10* (620) Wisconsin Badgers |

This is a play on the LOUISIANA RAGIN' CAJUNS for our Fri. CBB Supreme Annihilator. It has been a disappointing season for both Southern Mississippi and Louisiana as both were predicted to contend in the Sun Belt Conference and both are currently sitting in a tie for fifth place at 9-8. It has been especially bad for the Cajuns which has lost four straight games as it was looking good for the double bye in the upcoming tournament but now will be either the No. 5 or No. 6 seed. Neither are worse than the other be we give them a big edge here on their home floor where they are 10-3 with the one loss over this four-game skid coming against 13-4 Troy. Two games back, they lost at Southern Mississippi by 11 points so there is some immediate payback in store. The reigning champion Golden Eagles were never able to get anything big going as they put together two different three-game winning streaks but that was it and since then, they have gone 4-6 over their last 10 games. Southern Mississippi has not been awful on the road but most of the success came early as it has lost four straight on the road and this is just its third road game in February as it had a lengthy six-game homestand. 10* (886) Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns |

03-01-24 | Warriors -3 v. Raptors | Top | 120-105 | Win | 100 | 9 h 38 m | Show |
This is a play on the GOLDEN ST. WARRIORS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Golden St. is coming off a win last night in New York as it beat the Knicks by 11 points and the Warriors are playing their best basketball of the season. They are 12-3 over their last 15 games and while this could be a tricky spot coming off that win, Golden St. has games against Boston and Milwaukee up next so this is a game it cannot let go. The Warriors are still No. 10 in the Western Conference so every game is big and this is the spot they have dominated this season, going 11-1 as road favorites, covering nine of those. Toronto had a three-game winning streak snapped with a loss against Dallas and it remains home where it is 12-17 which includes a 3-10 record as underdogs. Additionally, the Raptors are 3-10 this season following a loss coming right after a win so the losing has been contagious. Toronto is ranked in the bottom third of the league in both offensive and defensive efficiency, one of only five teams to fall into both categories. Here, we play on road favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points, playing their 2nd road game in 2 days. This situation is 71-35 ATS (67 percent) since 1996. 10* (557) Golden St. Warriors |

03-01-24 | Rider v. Niagara -2 | Top | 71-61 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 49 m | Show |
This is a play on the NIAGARA PURPLE EAGLES for our Fri. CBB Signature Enforcer. Niagara is coming off a 2-1 roadtrip but lost a tough one on the final game as it fell by 10 points at rival Canisius which was 5-10 going in. That dropped the Purple Eagles to 10-6 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference and they are now one game out of second place so there is plenty of room to move up. A win here for Niagara assures that it will finish in the top five in the conference and avoid a first round game in the upcoming tournament. They are back home for their final two games where they are just 5-7 but four conference home losses have been by five points or less. Rider has picked up some steam with four straight wins, two of those coming at home but by only seven points combined and one of the road wins coming at 2-14 Manhattan. The Broncs are now 9-8 in the conference with the opposition playing a big role in the record as they are 2-6 against the top five teams while going 7-2 against the rest of the MAAC. They have been more solid at home with a 9-5 record but they are just 4-11 on the road yet are not lined that way as the Broncs are overpriced because of the recent run. 10* (866) Niagara Purple Eagles |

St. Mary's remains the only undefeated team in the West Coast Conference as it is 14-0 and can clinch the regular season championship with a win on Thursday. The Gaels are laying a big price and have gone 9-4 against the number when laying double digits and St. Mary's has a chance to finish the season a perfect 9-0 on the road so there will be motivation to win but certainly not by margin. The big reason being is that they have Gonzaga on deck in their final home game of the season and even though nothing may be on the line, it is a definite lookahead to their rival. Pepperdine had a two-game winning streak snapped with a loss at San Francisco to finish 3-8 on the road and it was not very competitive, covering only four of those games. This is the final regular season game for the Waves as it is Senior Night with a chance to play spoiler and finish with double-digit victories at home. They are 9-7 at home which includes a 2-5 record in the conference but four of those five losses have been by seven points or less and motivation rules out here. 10* (846) Pepperdine Waves |

02-29-24 | Heat v. Nuggets -4.5 | Top | 97-103 | Win | 100 | 11 h 13 m | Show |
This is a play on the DENVER NUGGETS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. This is a revenge spot for Miami after losing in the NBA Finals four games to one last season but we are not backing any sort of road revenge as we are actually getting a good number with the Nuggets. The reason being is that the Heat are on a 5-0 run on this current roadtrip to improve to 18-12 on the road while also on an 8-0 ATS run and the recent road success has been spurred by the offense that is shooting 50 percent from the floor on this trip which is up by five percent than their season average but now face the toughest defense they have seen on the trek. Denver has won and covered four straight games so it is playing just as good following a three-game losing streak right before the break. The Nuggets have the benefit of playing at home where it is 23-5 which is the second best home record in the NBA behind Boston. Overall, Denver has not been profitable at the betting window but it has been overpriced in many cases and is actually underpriced here, laying more than a bucket less than it was in its last home game against Sacramento despite the Kings and Heat having the same power rating. 10* (548) Denver Nuggets |

02-29-24 | Hawaii v. UC-Davis -2 | Top | 63-75 | Win | 100 | 12 h 3 m | Show |
This is a play on the UC DAVIS AGGIES for our Thu. CBB Signature Enforcer. UC Davis was competing for first place in the Big West Conference for much of the season but it has lost four of its last five games to fall into third place at 11-6 which is the best where it can finish at this point. The Aggies are back home where they have lost two straight and three of four and with two road games to finish the regular season so they will look to go out strong on Senior Night. The Aggies are 11-4 in quad 4 games and UC Davis also looks to avenge a 17-point loss in Hawaii less than three weeks ago. Hawaii is coming off a win at home against Long Beach St. in its only game last week as it caught another good spot of a team traveling to the Island following a game two nights earlier. The Warriors improved to 8-8 in the conference and are playing their final two road games before closing the season with two games at home. They are 3-5 in true road games with the three wins coming against the three worst teams in the conference which are a combined 11-38. This is a Quad 3 game and on the season, Hawaii is 2-10 in games inside Quad 4. 10* (814) UC Davis Aggies |

02-29-24 | UMKC v. Denver -3 | Top | 84-69 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 52 m | Show |
This is a play on the DENVER PIONEERS for our Summit Game of the Year. Denver is coming off a humbling 27-point loss at South Dakota St. last Thursday which was its fifth straight road loss to fall to 6-8 in the Summit League. The Pioneers were coming off a 2-1 homestand prior to the loss to the Jackrabbits and are back home for their final home game of the season where they have been very solid with a 10-3 record and are in a great spot to close strong here with great value following a 2-8 ATS stretch. This is a revenge game for Denver as well with the Pioneers losing in Kansas City by 14 points to open February. Kansas City has been one of the bigger surprises in the conference as it was pegged to finish deal last but has won four straight games to get to 8-6 which is tied with North Dakota St. for third place. The Roos have nearly the same resume as Denver as they have been great at home with a 10-3 record but have struggled to a 4-9 mark on the road despite winning two straight but the last came against last place South Dakota. They have been the opposite with a 8-1-1 ATS run keeping this number short. 10* (820) Denver Pioneers |

02-29-24 | Abilene Christian v. Southern Utah -3 | Top | 77-68 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 42 m | Show |
This is a play on the SOUTHERN UTAH THUNDERBIRDS for our Thu. CBB Supreme Annihilator. Abilene Christian has had a huge turnaround as it has won four straight games following a four-game losing streak but it has had a fortunate stretch. The Wildcats rolled over last place UT Rio Grande Valley and beat Stephen F. Austin which has been in a tailspin with a 4-8 record in its last 12 games. They then snuck by California Baptist before upsetting Grand Canyon which was coming off a loss against co-first place team Tarleton St. Abilene Christian is back on the road where it is 3-9, coming off a 1-9 run prior to the last two games. Southern Utah has lost five straight games to fall to 4-12 in the Western Athletic Conference and has been very unfortunate with five of its last seven losses coming in the final minute and their last five losses at home have also been of that variety as well. The Thunderbirds are 6-6 at home which is nothing spectacular but this line is telling considering they have been favored only five times over their last 12 games. However, Southern Utah is 4-1 in five games this season as a home favorite and is out for revenge from a 15-point loss. 10* (794) Southern Utah Thunderbirds |

02-29-24 | South Dakota State v. North Dakota | Top | 72-62 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 22 m | Show |
This is a play on the NORTH DAKOTA FIGHTING HAWKS for our Thu. CBB Contrarian Closer. North Dakota is coming off a loss at rival North Dakota St. to close a 2-1 roadtrip and the Fighting Hawks are now 9-5 in the Summit League with first place on the line Thursday. While this is not the deciding game it will go a long way in which team or teams wins the regular season championship. North Dakota is back home where it is 8-4 and will be out to bounce back from its last home game where it got rolled by Kansas City by 18 points which snapped its four-game home winning streak. The Fighting Hawks close with a home game against last place South Dakota so this one is big. South Dakota St. remains in first place in the conference at 10-4 following three straight wins and while it controls its own destiny, the final two games are on the road where the Jackrabbits are 4-5. This includes a 3-3 record within the conference with one of those wins coming against 4-10 South Dakota, another against Omaha in overtime and the third against St. Thomas by only one point. Two of the conference losses were against teams with losing records. 10* (786) North Dakota Fighting Hawks |

02-29-24 | Hofstra v. NC-Wilmington -4 | Top | 69-58 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 34 m | Show |
This is a play on the UNC WILMINGTON SEAHAWKS for our Thu. CBB Rivalry Rout. UNC Wilmington is coming off a bad loss at Campbell in double overtime which put the Seahawks into a three-way tie for second place in the Coastal Athletic Association at 11-5. They return home for a pair of games to close the season which puts them in good shape to get a top four seed in the upcoming CAA Tournament and the coveted double bye. A win here gives them the series sweep over Hofstra which would lock it up so this is the one they need. Of their 28 games played, only 10 have been at home where they are 9-1, the lone loss being a one-point loss against Elon. Hofstra has played it way into a possible top four seed as it has won three straight and seven of its last eight game to get to 11-5 in the CAA. Five of those seven wins have been at home however with the two road wins coming at Hampton and North Carolina A&T which are a combined 7-25. The Pride are 4-8 on the road with the other wins coming against Stony Brook and Iona so they have not defeated any top tier opponent on the road. Hofstra is 0-5 in Quad 1 and 2 games. 10* (774) UNC Wilmington Seahawks |

02-28-24 | St. John's v. Butler -1 | Top | 82-59 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 57 m | Show |
This is a play on the BUTLER BULLDOGS for our Wed. CBB Star Attraction. St. John's has won two straight games since getting called out by head coach Rick Pitino including an impressive win over Creighton on Sunday by 14 points. The Red Storm were catching the Bluejays off their huge home win over Connecticut so the setup was ideal following a lethargic effort against Georgetown in a five-point win. St. John's is back on the road where it is just 3-6 and in addition to the win over the Hoyas, the wins came against Villanova and West Virginia. The Red Storm are still just 2-9 in Quad 1 games following the win over Creighton. Butler is playing its way out of the NCAA Tournament as it has lost four straight games to fall to 7-10 in the Big East Conference while it has failed to cover its last five games. The Bulldogs lost both games last week on the road and they are back home where they are 11-4 and while they have dropped two straight here, those were against Creighton and Marquette, No. 11 and No. 12 in NET rankings respectively. They too have struggled in quad 1 games but this is not one and they are 13-1 outside that quadrant. 10* (744) Butler Bulldogs |

02-28-24 | South Carolina v. Texas A&M -4 | Top | 70-68 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 39 m | Show |
This is a play on the TEXAS A&M AGGIES for our Wed. CBB Supreme Annihilator. Texas A&M is coming off its fourth straight loss following a defeat at Tennessee on Saturday by 35 points to fall to 6-8 in the Southeastern Conference. While the Aggies could be defended in that three of the four games have been on the road but one of those losses was against 2-12 Vanderbilt while the home loss was against 5-9 Arkansas by seven points as a 12-point favorite. Texas A&M has gone from a likely lock for the NCAA Tournament to being just outside the bubble as the latest loss along with the Wake Forest win over Duke now has them on the outside. South Carolina shook off a pair of losses against Auburn and LSU with a win over Mississippi on Saturday by 13 points on the road. The Gamecocks are now 10-4 in the conference which is good a tie for third place with Auburn and they stay on the road in a tough spot against a desperate team. While they are third in the standings, the Gamecocks are seventh in the NET rankings, coming in at No. 48 as the schedule has not been great with their seven Quad 1 games being the lowest in the SEC. 10* (746) Texas A&M Aggies |

02-28-24 | Louisiana Tech v. Western Kentucky +2.5 | Top | 90-84 | Loss | -115 | 22 h 49 m | Show |
This is a play on the WESTERN KENTUCKY HILLTOPPERS for our Wed. CBB Signature Enforcer. Western Kentucky had its five-game winning streak snapped with a two-point loss at Middle Tennessee St. on Saturday and the Hilltoppers have fallen to 8-5 in Conference USA. They are two games out of first place with three games left and still have a shot as a win here would give them a sweep of Louisiana Tech but they would still need some help having lost both games to Sam Houston. Simply put, they need to take care of business here where they are 12-1, the only loss coming to San Houston St., and this is the final home game of the season so this will be an amped environment in this rivalry game. Louisiana Tech has won four straight games to remain tied with the Bearkats for first place and this is now the third straight road game before closing the season with two home games including the next game against Sam Houston St. that could decide the C-USA title. The Bulldogs are 7-7 on the road with the five conference wins all against teams with losing records and this is the toughest test since losing at Sam Houston St. to open January. 10* (720) Western Kentucky Hilltoppers |

02-28-24 | Mavs -2.5 v. Raptors | Top | 136-125 | Win | 100 | 10 h 23 m | Show |
This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Dallas is coming off a loss last night in Cleveland which was its second straight loss which has come after a seven-game winning streak. This is a great bounce back spot and an important one to avoid a three-game skid before the Mavericks head to Boston in two nights. Dallas is 15-12 on the road and it fell to 3-9 as an underdog with the loss last night but the Mavericks are 12-3 when favored on the highway and this one is at an excellent price. Toronto has caught fire coming out of the All Star Break as it has won all three games including the last two on the road as significant underdogs in Atlanta and Indiana. Despite the recent run, the Raptors are 6-15 following a win so this streak is an anomaly and they are back home where they are 12-16 which includes a 3-9 record as underdogs. Toronto is ranked in the bottom third of the league in both offensive and defensive efficiency, one of only five teams to do so. Here, we play against underdogs in the second half of the season off two or more consecutive upset wins as a road underdog. This situation is 85-44 ATS (65.9 percent) since 1996. 10* (527) Dallas Mavericks |

02-28-24 | Arkansas State v. Coastal Carolina +8.5 | Top | 71-60 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 34 m | Show |
This is a play on the COASTAL CAROLINA CHANTICLEERS for our SBC Game of the Month. Arkansas St. has been on a roll as it has won five straight and seven of its last eight games while covering all eight of those to improve to 10-6 in the Sun Belt Conference. The Red Wolves own a pair of very impressive wins over Troy during this stretch while coming off a 17-point win over South Alabama on Saturday which was its final home game of the season on Senior Day. There will be the letdown from that in addition to a lookahead as Arkansas St. travels to face first place Appalachian St. to close the season while laying a huge number with its 4-10 road record. It has been a season to forget for Coastal Carolina as it is now 5-11 in the conference following a pair of road losses last week at Old Dominion and Georgia St. The Chanticleers closed the road portion of their schedule 1-9 with the only win coming against Texas St. and they return home for their final two games where they are a much more respectable 7-9. Coastal Carolina has won their last three home games and despite the overall struggles, it has been a profitable team and is in an ideal spot. 10* (712) Coastal Carolina Chanticleers |

02-28-24 | Samford v. Wofford +5.5 | Top | 69-91 | Win | 100 | 21 h 16 m | Show |
This is a play on the WOFFORD TERRIERS for our Wed. CBB Ultimate Underdog. Samford locked up the Southern Conference regular season championship with a win over East Tennessee St. by 16 points on Saturday to improve to 14-2. With the No. 1 seed locked up and Senior Night on deck with the chance to complete an 18-0 home schedule, this is a tough spot to get up for to not only win but win by margin. The Bulldogs are 8-4 on the road including a 6-2 record in the conference with half of those victories coming by less than what they are laying here with two of the big margin wins coming against The Citadel and VMI which are a combined 4-28. Wofford has lost three straight games to fall to 8-8 in the conference with last two coming on the road against two of the top four teams. The Terriers are now 5-9 on the road but they are back home for their final home game of the season for Senior Night and a chance to finish 11-2 here. The two losses came against UNC Greensboro and Chattanooga which are both 11-5 and while they face a better opponent here, the situation is much more in their favor and at a great number. 10* (698) Wofford Terriers |

02-27-24 | Nevada v. Colorado State -7.5 | Top | 77-74 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 33 m | Show |
This is a play on the COLORADO ST. RAMS for our Tue. CBB Signature Enforcer. Colorado St. continues to move down the Mountain West Conference standings as it lost at UNLV on Saturday by six points to fall to 8-7. The Rams road struggles are the big reason as they are now 3-7 overall which includes a 1-7 road conference record but they have been nearly the complete opposite at home where they are 7-0 in the MWC and 14-1 overall. They are firmly in the NCAA Tournament as they rate out well and are No. 27 in the NET rankings which is third best in the conference while going 16-2 in games outside of Quad 1. Nevada is one game out of first place following a win at San Jose St. which was its third straight victory to move to 9-5 in the conference. The Wolf Pack have improved their play on the road as they have won three straight which includes a very solid victory at Utah St. and they are now 6-3 on the highway. Overall, they do not rate as well as the Rams as they are No. 42 in the NET rankings and are narrowly inside the bubble for the NCAA Tournament. This is certainly a quality team but hits Fort Collins at the wrong time. 10* (660) Colorado St. Rams |

02-27-24 | Wake Forest v. Notre Dame +6.5 | Top | 65-70 | Win | 100 | 22 h 17 m | Show |
This is a play on the NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH for our Tue. CBB Ultimate Underdog. Notre Dame had a three-game winning streak snapped with a hard-fought loss at Syracuse on Saturday to fall to 5-11 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Fighting Irish return home where they have not been great but have been much better here than on the road and they have won two straight in South Bend. Now they are catching a big number based on the opponent and while they have yet to win a Quad 1 game in seven tries, they have covered four of those games and continue to play hard. This is more of a play against Wake Forest which is coming off its biggest win of the season as it beat Duke at home by four points and then became more talked about with the controversial court storm. This was an auto play against because of that anyway and now the Demon Deacons hit the road where they have been just as bad as Notre Dame has been as they are 2-7 compared to 15-0 at home. Wake Forest was in the last four out group for the NCAA Tournament and is now in but needs to be careful and are now overvalued with all of the attention. 10* (654) Notre Dame Fighting Irish |

02-27-24 | Mavs v. Cavs -3.5 | Top | 119-121 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 56 m | Show |
This is a play on the CLEVELAND CAVALIERS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Dallas was riding a seven-game winning streak that went back prior to the All Star break but it had that snapped at Indiana on Monday as it lost by 22 points. While this marks a good bounce back opportunity, that is not the case in this situation. Dallas has been solid on the road at 15-11 but it has been a favorable schedule it has taken advantage of as the Mavericks are 12-3 straight up and against the number when favored but going just 3-8 as underdogs, covering just four of those games. Cleveland lost its first to games out of the break but came back with a win against Washington on Monday. The Cavaliers failed to cover which was their fifth straight non-cover so this is a great play on opportunity. They remain in second place in the Eastern Conference, one game up on Milwaukee and going back, they are 16-4 ATS in their last 20 home games after having lost two of their last three games with a scoring differential of close to 13 ppg. Here, we play on favorites with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 after failing to cover five or six of their last seven games against the spread, playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 84-45 ATS (65.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (506) Cleveland Cavaliers |

02-27-24 | Loyola-Chicago v. St Bonaventure -3 | Top | 64-79 | Win | 100 | 21 h 46 m | Show |
This is a play on the ST. BONAVENTURE BONNIES for our A10 Game of the Year. Loyola-Chicago has won seven straight games to improve to 12-2 in the Atlantic Ten Conference which is good for a tie for first place with Richmond. The Ramblers have covered all seven of those games as well which has put them in a play against spot with the value being adjusted. Despite being in first place, Loyola-Chicago is No. 7 in the conference in NET ranking where it is No. 92 overall with a big reason being it has played only two Quad 1 games, going 0-2, and this one falls into that quadrant. Additionally, the Ramblers have a game at home against Dayton on deck. St. Bonaventure is coming off a big win at Massachusetts on Saturday to make it three wins in their last four games and the Bonnies are back over .500 in the conference at 8-7 and now are back home where they are 10-3. They are tied for fifth place and catching fourth place is unlikely but if they win their final three games and VCU goes 1-3 over its last four games, they would clinch it. The Bonnies are No. 2 in the A-10 in NET rankings and while they are 0-4 in Quad 1 games, they are 17-6 in all other games. 10* (612) St. Bonaventure Bonnies |

02-27-24 | Kentucky v. Mississippi State -3.5 | Top | 91-89 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 30 m | Show |
This is a play on the MISSISSIPPI ST. BULLDOGS for our Tue. CBB Star Attraction. Kentucky is coming off a huge win on Saturday as it blew away Alabama by 22 points while leading by as many as 37 points to improve to 9-5 in the Southeastern Conference as it remains tied with Florida for fifth place. The Wildcats 117 points were the most ever scored against a ranked opponent as they improved to 7-1 following a loss, bouncing back from a brutal one point loss at LSU. The big victory puts them in letdown mode and they are back on the road where they are 5-3 with three of those wins coming against Louisville, Arkansas and Vanderbilt. Mississippi St. is playing its best basketball since the end of nonconference action as it has won five straight games to move to 8-6 in the conference and is currently a projected No. 9 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The run has not exactly been against the best of competition but those are the game that good teams win nonetheless and they have moved to No. 28 in the NET rankings. They can pick up their fourth Quad 1 win with a victory here at home where they are 11-2 including big wins over Auburn and Tennessee, accounting for two of their combined seven losses. 10* (622) Mississippi St. Bulldogs |

02-26-24 | Pistons v. Knicks -10.5 | Top | 111-113 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 15 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW YORK KNICKS for our NBA Eastern Conference Game of the Month. New York had lost four straight games heading into the All Star Break but beat Philadelphia after the eight days off only to give it back at home against Boston on Saturday by 14 points. The Knicks had won nine straight games before a loss to the Lakers which has triggered a 2-6 run including going 1-7 against the number but this is the game to get back on track before two difficult home games on deck against New Orleans and Golden St. New York is now 19-9 at home including 16-4 as a home favorite and it has responded well coming off a loss as it is 15-7 while going 14-8 against the number. Detroit came through for us on Saturday as it was able to cover at home against Orlando but still lost outright, its fifth straight loss. The Pistons hit the road where they are 4-24 but they have not been nearly as bad against the number as they have covered half of those games including eight of 15 games when getting double digits. This shows they have been competitive just over half the time but this is not the spot based on the Knicks needing a confidence building win and we actually have this number pegged three points higher than it is. 10* (576) New York Knicks |

02-26-24 | Drexel v. Delaware -2 | Top | 70-60 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 17 m | Show |
This is a play on the DELAWARE BLUE HENS for our Mon. CBB Signature Enforcer. Delaware has lost two of three games following a four-game winning streak including a 19-point loss at home against Charleston to fall to 9-6 in the Coastal Athletic Association. Five of those losses came against all five teams ahead of them in the conference and that includes a 19-point loss at Drexel so the Blue Hens will be out to avenge that. They are 7-4 at home including a 5-2 record in the CAA with two nonconference losses coming by a combined five points. Drexel is coming off a 12-point loss at Hofstra on Thursday which was its fourth loss in six games and the Dragons have dropped from 8-1 to 10-5 in the conference. That puts them into fourth place in the conference with three teams lurking and just three games left. Drexel is 5-10 on the road which is bad enough but the wins are very unimpressive. The first road win of the season was at Winthrop which is No. 173 in the NET rankings by only two points while the other four wins were against No. 309 Lafayette, No. 305 Elon, No. 332 William & Mary and No. 337 North Carolina A&T. 10* (882) Delaware Blue Hens |

02-25-24 | Spurs v. Jazz -6.5 | Top | 109-128 | Win | 100 | 10 h 43 m | Show |
This is a play on the UTAH JAZZ for our NBA Signature Enforcer. We played on Utah Thursday and it lost outright to Charlotte to make it five straight losses going back prior to the All Star Break and we are coming back with the Jazz laying a much smaller number against a team that is even worse than the Hornets. They remain home where they are 17-11 and have been great in these spots by going 8-3 as favorites while covering seven of those games with one outright loss coming against the injury plagued Sixers where the number was way overadjusted and the other against the Lakers in addition to the Charlotte defeat. San Antonio has lost both games coming out of the break but covered both in five-point losses against the Kings and Lakers and this is now its eighth straight road game. The Spurs are now 6-25 away from home while getting outscored by over 10 ppg which is a huge differential for even some of the worst teams. San Antonio is 9-19 ATS in its last 28 games off two or more consecutive road losses. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after failing to cover the spread in three or more consecutive games, playing only their 2nd game in five days. This situation is 46-20 ATS (69.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (568) Utah Jazz |

This is a play on the NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS for our Sun. CBB Star Attraction. Nebraska is coming off a 15-point win at Indiana to pick up just its second road win on the season. The Huskers improved to 9-7 in the Big Ten Conference and have played their way into the NCAA Tournament. Nebraska is back home where it is 16-1 that includes all three Quad 1 wins which came against Purdue, Michigan St. and Wisconsin and the issue now is that it can only play itself out with no more Quad 1 games remaining and it cannot lose these fringe Quad 2 and Quad 3 games. There is revenge in play as well with the Huskers having lost in Minnesota by 11 points. The Gophers defeated Ohio St. by nine points in its last game, catching the Buckeyes off their huge win over Purdue, moving them to 15-3 at home. It was another cover for Minnesota which is now an unheard of 23-3 against the number and now it is back on the road where it is 2-5, having beaten only Michigan and Penn St. Despite being only a half-game behind Nebraska, the Gophers are 30 spots behind the Huskers in the NET rankings. 10* (858) Nebraska Cornhuskers |

02-25-24 | St. Joe's v. VCU -5.5 | Top | 69-73 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 57 m | Show |
This is a play on the VCU RAMS for our Sun. CBB Signature Enforcer. VCU was rolling along with four straight wins and it was on a 9-1 run but is coming off a bad loss at Massachusetts on Tuesday by 22 points. The loss was not bad because the Minutemen are a bad team but because of how bad it was and the fact it allowed Massachusetts to stay alive for the No. 4 seed and the all-important double bye. The Rams hold that spot, a game and a half in front of the Minutemen so this is a big bounce back game at home where they are 11-5 including the last two wins against 11-2 Richmond and 11-3 Dayton. St. Joseph's is coming off a narrow win over George Washington which snapped a two-game slide to move to 7-7 in the Atlantic Ten Conference. It has been a disappointing season for the Hawks which were supposed to be stronger contenders in the conference and a big issue has been their lack of success on the road where they are 3-7 which includes two conference wins, a one point win over Massachusetts and a win at 4-10 LaSalle. St. Joseph's is just 3-6 in Quad 1 and 2 games. 10* (850) VCU Rams |
