POSTS 139-120-6 +41.31 Units
Here are todays selections:
10 Units Oklahoma State -1 (WON 65-52) +10 UNITS
Oklahoma will try to slow the pace down as they play good defense but shoot 41% from the field (67.5 ppg). Oklahoma State has a run and gun offense that shoots 52% from the field averaging 79 ppg. That hot shooting has gotten Oklahoma State into first place in the Big 12 (9-1 mark). Oklahoma State (19-2 SU) is cruising along shooting 52% from the field, 41% from beyond the arc and has a nine game winning streak. The offense has tallied 91, 88, 80 and 91 points the last four games!!! The high octane attack is led by 5'-11" junior John Lucas (14 ppg) and guard Tony Allen (16 ppg), while 6'-8" senior Ivan McFarlin (12 ppg, 6.4 rpg) works the boards. Oklahoma State is 5-2 SU/4-3 ATS on the road. Oklahoma (16-5) is 12-1 SU/3-5 ATS at home where they outscore teams by a 71-54 average. Oklahoma is led by 6'-5" senior Jason Detrick (10 ppg) and 6'-10" senior Jabahri Brown, and a couple of youngsters in freshman G Drew Lavender and freshman Lawrence McKenzie. Last month Oklahoma State destroyed Oklahoma 77-56 at home. Look for the Sooners to slow the pace down, but the Cowboys and Eddie Sutton have too much experience and offense.
5 Units Syracuse -6.5 (LOST 72-84) -5.40 UNITS
Get your track shoes on!!! Both these teams prefer a run-and-gun, finesse style, as opposed to playing a physical game under the boards. Notre Dame (12-9) has junior guard Chris Thomas (18 ppg, 5 apg) and 6'-4" Torian Jones. 6'-11" Torin Francis, Notre Dame's best big man, has a back injury and missed the last two games. He did not play Saturday against Seton Hall and is not expected to play here. Chris Thomas had 26 points and seven rebounds and Torrian Jones had 13 points, six rebounds and two blocked shots to lead Notre Dame to a 71-68 win over Seton Hall Saturday. Notre Dame allows opponents 44% shooting and in the last three games they've given up 76 points to Boston College, 81 at Rutgers and 68 at home to Seton Hall. Syracuse (16-5 SU, 6-12 ATS) is second in the Big East in scoring (76 ppg) and third in field goal percentage (47%). They have 6'-8" junior Hakin Warrick (19 ppg, 9 rpg) leading the way along with guard Gerry McNamara. Syracuse shot 64% on Saturday, winning 91-74 at Miami. Syracuse is 12-2 SU at home and last month the Orange won 81-70 at Notre Dame.
5 Units Boston College +9 (SU WIN 67-63) +5 UNITS
Boston College (16-8) has a talented duo up front of 6'-7" sophomore Craig Smith (17 ppg, 8 rpg) and 6'-7" freshman Jared Dudley, who leads the Eagles in scoring and rebounding. They're not strong on the road, however, at 4-5 SU where they allow 68 ppg. That could hurt against a Seton Hall team that is 11-1 SU/7-2 ATS at home where they smoke teams by a 78-62 average! It's been a wild week for Seton Hall. The Pirates beat Pitt last Monday and then lost by 3 points at Notre Dame Saturday. The Pirates (16-6, 6-4 Big East) fell behind early and could never pull even against the Irish. Guard Andre Barrett led the Pirates with 20 points and Kelly Whitney added 18 points as Seton Hall lost for just the second time in its last seven games. Team defense led the way in the Pirates' 68-67 victory over Pittsburgh. On January 17 BC beat Seton Hall 72-63 at home, but the Pirates' great home defense should return the favor here.
5 Units B.Y.U. -5 (WON 79-73) +5.05 UNITS
The BYU Cougars (15-7 SU, 11-8 ATS) shoot 48% as a team, behind star players 6’-7” senior Mark Bigelow (13 points pg), 6’-11” senior center Rafael Araujo (18 ppg, 57% FGs, 10 rpg) and guard Mike Hall. BYU is just 4-7 SU on the road where it is getting outscored by a 66-65 average. They key for Colorado State is 7-foot junior Matt Nelson (15 ppg). Nelson is hurting with a sore knee, did not play the last two games (Monday and Saturday). Colorado State (11-11) could have used him Saturday, too, in an 80-70 home loss to Utah. They lost the battle of the boards 36-30 to Utah. The Colorado State Rams have 6’-6” Matt Williams, and a couple of youngsters helping out in sophomore Micheal Morris and freshman guard Dwight Boatner. But they are 0-3 SU/1-2 ATS the last three games. BYU ripped CSU 82-53 at home last month and should win again with their offense and frontcourt.
Good luck today my friends,
