WEDNESDAY 6-1-1 +26.90 UNITS

I hate to be playing so many gmae tonight, but the numbers are almost to good to be true. Let me know what you think about tonights selections.

5 Units Wisc Green Bay -3.5 -108

This is the fourth road game over the last five games for Green Bay. However, don't expect a letdown by the Wisconsin Green Bay Phoenix, as they are 7-3 in the Horizon League, just behind Wright State and Milwaukee for first place. And they play a terrible Cleveland State team that is 0-10 in the Horizon League. The Wisconsin-Green Bay Phoenix (13-7 SU, 10-4 ATS) have good offensive balance with guards 6’-2” sophomore guard Terry Parker, Jr (10.5 ppg) and 6’-0” junior Brandon Morris (11 ppg, 48% FGs, 5 rpg), running the break, while 6’-8” senior Mike King (10 ppg, 4 rpg) works the boards. They are not a great road team (4-6 SU) although they are 6-2 ATS and should score a bundle against a Cleveland State team that is short and allows 74 points and 44% shooting by opponents per game. Cleveland State (4-17 SU, 4-11 ATS) has 6’-2” senior guard Jermaine Robinson (20 ppg, 5 rpg) and 6’-7” junior Omari Westley (15 ppg, 8 rpg), but they don't have the frontcourt or depth to hang with Green Bay. Green Bay beat Cleveland State 70-69 at home last month, but they should win by a more comfortable margin here.

7 Units Arkansas LR -4.5 -104

Road warriors??? Hardly. South Alabama (9-10) is just 2-8 SU on the road where they allow 75 ppg. This is also a brutal spot, as it will be South Alabama's third straight road game. They traveled all the way to Denver (a 78-59 loss) on Thursday, then to Texas on Saturday (85-78 defeat at North Texas), then head to Ark-Little Rock here. That's a lot of travel and bad defense. South Alabama lacks height and they have 6'-6" senior Malerick Bedden (13 ppg, 5.5 rpg) and 6'-6" Richard Law up front, while Arkansas Little Rock (11-9) has a solid frontcourt behind 6’-9” senior Jamal Holden (11 ppg, 4 rpg) and 6’-6” junior Rich Hardman (10 ppg, 7 rpg) along with plenty of backcourt depth. Little Rock is also terrific at home (8-2 SU) where they have been whipping teams by a 78-58 average!!! They also play tough 'D', allowing 41% shooting. Turn out the lights on South Alabama's season as they will struggle again here on the road.

5 Units Nevada -4.5 +100

WAC battle with two teams riding 4-game streaks. Nevada has won four in a row (4-0 ATS run), while SMU has lost four in a row (1-3 ATS run). Nevada (13-6 SU, 10-6 ATS) is rolling, winning 11 of the last 14 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 3-6 SU/4-4 ATS on the road, however, where they outscore foes by a 74-72 average. SMU (8-11) is slumping, despite a frontcourt in 6’-9” junior Patrick Simpson (10 ppg, 6 rpg) and 6’-8” junior Eric Castro (10 ppg, 6 rpg), while sophomore guard Bryan Hopkins (15 ppg) is a good backcourt weapon. But SMU's offense has slipped of late, scoring 40, 61, 62 and 59 points during this 4-game skid!!! On Jan. 10 Nevada beat SMU 84-74 and they should win again.

5 Units Wisc Milwaukee +3 -107

Great game in the Horizon League as both have 15 wins apiece. Wisconsin-Milwaukee (15-5) is 8-4 SU/6-4 ATS on the road where they average 77 ppg! The Wisconsin Milwaukee Panthers shoot 50% from the field and love to run, led by 6’-3” junior guard Ed McCants (17.5 ppg, 50% FGs), 6’-8” senior forward Dylan Page (20 ppg, 52% FGs, 7 rpg) and 6’-7” sophomore Adrian Tigert (5.6 rpg). Wisc-Milwaukee is 10-0 in conference, a remarkable 10-0 SU/8-2 ATS in games against the Horizon League! The Illinois Chicago Flames (15-7) are 10-3 at home with a great offense anchored by guards 6’-3” senior Cedric Banks (18 ppg) and Martell Bailey (8.5 assists pg), while 6’-4” senior Aaron Carr and 6’-5” senior Armond Williams (12 ppg, 5.5 rpg) are strong role players. Milwaukee carries a 9-game win streak into this game and while there will be plenty of scoring, if it comes down to simple free throw shooting, Milwaukee shoots 73% from the charity stripe while Ill-Chicago shoots just 61%.

More to follow shortly,

10 Utah State -14 -106

Well, this will be a Big West blowout!!! The Cal Poly Mustangs (8-9) are terrible on defense, allowing 44% shooting and they are 2-6 on the road where they allow 78 ppg. Cal Poly is 0-4 SU/ATS its last four road games where they've allowed 74, 86, 88 and 80 points!!! Cal Poly does have a strong low post offensive punch in 6'-8", 260-lb senior Varnie Dennis (18 ppg, 7.5 rpg) and 6'-6" senior swingman Shane Schilling (16 ppg, 5.6 rpg). But they will struggle to score here against mighty Utah State (17-1 SU, 11-5 ATS). Utah State is playing brilliant defense (57 ppg allowed) behind a dominant frontcourt, led by 6'-7" sophomore Nate Harris (11 ppg), 6’-8” junior Spencer Nelson (11 ppg, 7 rpg), and 6'-4" senior Cardell Butler (13 ppg, 50% FGs). Nelson has played two games since missing time with a broken nose, and is more of a role player: He had 11 rebounds and 8 points in a win over Irvine, and the last game had 7 points, 7 boards. Utah State is 14-0 SU/10-3 ATS the last 14 games!!!


7 Units UTEP -3 -108

The Super Bowl halftime show might have been offensive, but what you'll see here are two teams that are REALLY offensive -- lots of points, that is. Both teams shoot 48% from the field: Rice averages 75.7 ppg, while UTEP averages 81 ppg and 87 ppg at home! Rice (15-5 SU, 9-5 ATS) can run, with 6’-6” junior Michael Harris (18 ppg, 9.8 rpg, 58% FGs), 6’-4” junior Jason McKrieth (15 ppg, 5 rpg), and senior point guard Rashid Smith (5.7 apg). And Rice is very good on the road at 6-3 SU/4-2 ATS, averaging 72.3 ppg. UTEP (15-4 SU, 11-4 ATS) likes to push the ball up the court, too, led by 6'-5" junior Omar Thomas (15 ppg), 6’-6” senior forward Roy Smallwood and 6’-5” sophomore Jason Williams (12 ppg). UTEP is 12-1 SU/7-2 ATS at home and should avenge a January 10 84-68 loss at Rice!!!

5 Units Saint Mary's Ca -9 -108

Home/road says a lot about this meeting between two teams with 9 losses apiece. San Fran (14-9) has been awful on the road (4-9 SU, 4-8 ATS) giving up 69 ppg on the road while scoring just 59 ppg. St. Mary's (12-9) plays great defense (40% shooting) and is 9-1 SU/5-1 ATS at home where the rip teams by an 82-59 average. The San Francisco Dons have a decent frontcourt in 6'-7” senior James Bayless (13 ppg) and 6’-7” junior Tyrone Riley, but they struggle badly away from home. The St. Mary’s Gaels pound the ball down low to their strong frontcourt of 6’-10” sophomore forward Daniel Kickert (14 ppg, 6 rpg) and 6’-9” senior Frederic Adjiwanou (7 rpg). San Fran is riding a 4-game win streak and this will be its third straight road game. However, St. Mary's plays great 'D' and San Fran may be a bit tired out.

Good luck tonight my friend's,
