Here are tonights selections:
5 Units St. Joseph's -7.5 +100
Best game of the day, as the A-10 takes on the Big East. St. Joseph's is 18-0 overall and a remarkable 11-0 SU/7-3 ATS on the road! In fact, they outscore opponents by a 78-63 average away from home! St. Joe's has a great one-two punch in senior G Jameer Nelson (20 ppg, 5 assists pg)and 6'-4" junior Delonte West (18 ppg). A key has been the role playing of 6'-11" sophomore Dwayne Jones, who leads the team with 7.7 rebounds pg, which allows Nelson and West to run the break. Both these teams hold opponents to 39% shooting! Villanova (12-7) is just 5-3 SU, 3-4 ATS at home. This will be their third straight home game, and they lost to Rutgers 71-68 and bounced back with a 73-58 rout of West Virginia. Villanova is led by 6'-7" Curtis Sumpter (16 ppg, 7 rpg), sophomore G Allan Ray (18 ppg) and Jason Fraser (7.5 rebounds pg). A year ago St. Joe's flattened Villanova 92-75 and they are on a roll. This one will be close and might be more of a low scoring, defensive clash.
5 Units Nevada -1 -110
Nevada (12-6 SU, 9-6 ATS) is rolling, winning 10 of the last 13 games. Nevada plays great defense (42% shooting allowed) and they shoot 48% from the field, led by junior 6’-6” Kirk Snyder (18 ppg, 45% FGs), 6’-10” freshman Nick Fazekas (7 rpg) and 6’-9” junior Kevin Pinkney. Nevada is just 2-6 on the road, however, where they get outscored by a 73-72 average. Tulsa (7-11) is 6-3 SU/3-4 ATS at home and they lack height, so Nevada's strong frontcourt and defense could cause them trouble. They just lost at home to Hawaii, 73-71, as Hawaii won the battle of the boards with 42 rebounds. Tulsa (7-11 SU, 5-9 ATS) holds teams to 38% shooting, but they've lost 7 of the last 10 games. Tulsa has 6’-2” senior Jason Parker (19 ppg), 6’-6” junior forward Jarius Glenn (12 ppg, 6.8 rpg) and 6'-8" freshman Anthony Price leading the way. Nevada is playing better and topped a better Tulsa team 80-71 last season.
5 Units Air Force -1.5 -107
Fascinating Mountain West clash featuring Air Force's great defense and 13-game win streak against UNLV's run and gun game and strong home court (8-3, 73.5 ppg). The Air Force Falcons (15-2 SU, 7-2 ATS) are number one in the Mountain West, shooting 50% from the field and allowing 46 points per game! They are disciplined and play great defense while looking for the 3-pointer led by 6’-6” senior Joel Gerlach, 6’-3” junior Tim Keller (11 ppg) and 6’-7” sophomore Nick Welch. Air Force is even 6-2 SU/4-1 ATS on the road! Sophomore guard Antoine Hood led four double-figure scorers for Air Force with 15 points as Air Force topped SDSU on the road, 57-43. Nick Welch added 11 points, six rebounds and five assists while A.J. Kuhle and Tim Keller had 10 points apiece for Air Force (5-0 in MWC). The Falcons hit 11 three-pointers on the night with Kuhle connecting on three during an 18-10 run in the second half. UNLV (11-6) presents different problems for Air Force, as they prefer to run and gun, shooting 48% from the field. UNLV has a strong offense led by 6’-7” junior Odartey Blankson (17.5 ppg, 52% FGs, 10 rpg), 6’-8” sophomore Louis Amundson (5 rpg) and 6’-7” Romel Beck (14.5 ppg) up front. UNLV beat Air Force 74-70 a year ago on this court, though the Falcons got the ATS cover.
