Man what a great week this has been (21-8-1 +118.53 UNITS 72% WINNERS)!!! Here are tonights selections, let me know what you think.
7 Units Colorado +5.5 -101
Game two of the season series, Colorado (R: 4-4 SU, 5-2 ATS) won the first game 84-79 at home when Michael Morandais scored 28 points and David Harrison added 22 as Colorado shot 55% versus 40% and had a 40-28 rebounding advantage. Colorado narrowly survived an 82-81 victory over Kansas State on Saturday. Blair Wilson scored 26 points, including 7-of-10 from 3-point range, for Colorado (13-7, 5-4 Big 12). David Harrison added 19 points and Michel Morandais 18 for the Buffaloes, who squandered an 11-point lead. Missouri is on a 5-9 SU run following a 78-62 loss to Nebraska over the weekend. Ricky Paulding had 16 to lead Missouri. Travon Bryant added 15 for the Tigers, Jason Conley had 12 and Arthur Johnson added 10. This is an important road game for the Buffs who had their way with the Tigers a couple of weeks ago. Missouri matches up pretty well with Colorado and is looking to avenge the last meeting. Close game to call, but the Buffs have scoring and big mo.
5 Units Florida State +7 -104
Florida State (16-7 SU, 8-6 ATS) is now finding out that the Road is a lonely place in the ACC after getting beat by Maryland, 73-62 SU. State has struggled on the Road (3-6 SU), averaging just 62 points a game, 10 points less than their season average. Now the Seminoles have to face the wolves on their own ground as they travel to NC State (14-5 SU, 11-4 ATS). State is making a huge tourney push after stomping Virginia at Virginia, 79-63 SU. They may not win the ACC, but they will be someone to be reckoned with come March. At Home, the Wolfpack is usually unstoppable. They are undefeated (11-0 SU) and are only allowing 60 points a game while scoring 79. In the first match-up, State got a rare win at FSU, 58-53 SU. It should be a lot easier in this one since FSU struggles on the Road. Julius Hodge (18 ppg, 6 rpg, 4 apg) has emerged as the Alpha wolf for NC State. In the first game, Hodge led all scorers with 15 points. In that game, neither team shot well at all (both had under 39% FG). There may be a little more scoring but State plays the better game at HOME. Also, FSU guard Tim Pickett (Hip) is Probable to play.
5 Units Michigan State +6.5 -106
Michigan State (R: 3-5 SU, ATS) shot 73.3 percent from the field against Ohio State on Saturday leading to an 84-70 victory. Maurice Ager came off the bench to score 18 points, Hill added 16 points, Kelvin Torbert had 15, Alan Anderson 12 and Paul Davis 10 for Michigan State, which has won four in a row and seven of the last eight. Deron Williams had 19 points and 11 assists and Dee Brown added 18 points as Illinois (H: 10-1 SU, 5-3 ATS) came from behind to defeat Minnesota 79-69 Sunday afternoon in the Big Ten. Nick Smith scored 13 points for the Fighting Illini (15-5, 6-3 Big Ten), who won for the fifth time in six games despite trailing by as many as 15 points in the first half. The top two teams in the Big-10 square off for the first time this year. Teams split a year ago with each winning at home. Both teams are playing well and fighting for the top spot. Look for the Illini defense to step up and keep this one very close.
5 Units North Carolina +4.5 +104
North Carolina (14-6 SU, 11-7 ATS) could have fallen off the map after losing to Duke in OT, however they rebounded nicely with a Road win against Wake Forest, 79-73 SU. Now Carolina goes back on the road to Georgia Tech (17-5 SU, 13-8 ATS). Tech is coming off a great Road win against Tennessee, 77-62 SU. In the first match-up, Tech really got drilled at Chapel Hill, losing 103-88 SU. In that game, Tech was killed by the inside play of Sean May (16 ppg, 10 rpg). He had 28 points and 8 rebounds in one of his better games this season. Tech also had no answer for Raymond Felton (12 ppg, 8 apg), who tossed in 25 points. These two players helped Carolina shoot 49% from the floor in that game. Tech is playing phenomenal defense at Home, only giving up 59 points a game. This won’t matter against Carolina, since they average 78 points a game on the Road despite their 3-4 SU record. Tech is an awesome 12-1 SU, at Home and should put a better fight if they can slow down an improving Sean May.
Good luck tonight my friend's
