Duke at North Carolina

February 20, 2014


Duke and North Carolina fans had waited nearly three months of the 2013-2014 campaign to see their teams take on their bitter rivals. And then that wait got pushed back another week when Mother Nature dumped snow galore on The South, particularly in the state of North Carolina, in the middle of last week.

But the long wait for the renewal of this storied rivalry will end tonight in Chapel Hill at the Smith Center. As of early this morning, most books had Duke (21-5 straight up, 17-9 against the spread) installed as a 1.5-point road favorite. North Carolina (18-7 SU, 14-11 ATS) is playing its best basketball of the season, winning seven in a row both SU and ATS. Despite falling behind by double digits in the first half and getting zero points and only 13 minutes out of second-leading scorer James Michael McAdoo before he fouled out, the Tar Heels won 81-75 Tuesday night at FSU. They hooked up their backers (my hand is raised) as 1.5-point road favorites.

Kennedy Meeks was sensational, producing 23 points on 11-of-12 shooting from the field. Meeks also had seven rebounds and a pair of blocked shots. Marcus Paige was steady as usual, finishing with 20 points, four steals and seven assists without committing a turnover.

Paige is the catalyst for UNC. He averages 17.2 points and 4.6 assists per game.

Since losing an epic overtime game at Syracuse on February 1, Duke has won four consecutive games. Even better, the Blue Devils are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games.

Coach K's squad failed to cover the number and was fortunate to come out victorious in Saturday's 69-67 win over Maryland as a 13.5-point home 'chalk.' Jabari Parker led the way with 23 points and eight rebounds.

Then on Tuesday, Duke went to Atlanta and rolled to an easy 68-51 win at Georgia Tech as an 11-point road favorite. Parker tallied 16 points, 14 boards and three blocked shots against the Yellow Jackets. Rodney Hood added 14 points.

Duke doesn't take too many one-and-done players, but it has embraced the presence of Parker. The freshman sensation has rewarded them by leading the Blue Devils in scoring (19.2 points per game), rebounding (8.7 RPG) and blocked shots (1.3 per game).

Likewise, Coach K doesn't take too many transfers. In fact, Rodney Hood from Mississippi State is just the fourth transfer during his tenure, joining Seth Curry, Dahntay Jones and Roshown McLeod. Hood has produced by averaging 16.2 PPG while shooting 47.8 percent from the field and 45.5 percent from three-point land.

Duke has been a road favorite five times, posting a 3-2 spread record. Whether favored or listed as underdogs, the Blue Devils have five consecutive spread covers on the road.

UNC has won 12 of its 15 home games, compiling an 8-7 spread record. The 'under' is 13-12 overall for Duke. The 'over' had been hitting at a 7-2 clip in the Blue Devils' nine previous games prior to back-to-back 'under' appearances in their wins over Maryland and Ga. Tech. The 'over' has hit in seven of UNC's last nine games to get to 13-12 overall. The 'over' is 8-6 for the Tar Heels in their home games.

Duke has beaten UNC in seven of the last nine meetings, including three in a row in Chapel Hill. The Blue Devils cruised to a 69-53 win as two-point road 'dogs at UNC last year. McAdoo had a team-high 15 points for the Heels in the losing effort.

The 'under' is 8-2 in the last 10 head-to-head meetings.

ESPN will provide television coverage tonight at 9:00 p.m. Eastern.

**B.E.'s Bonus Nuggets**

-- This space didn't hesitate to justifiably rip Boston College head coach Steve Donahue for his mishandling of the clock and his timeouts in a crushing loss last Thursday at Georgia Tech. On a similar note, we'll eagerly pay props to Donahue for leading his team to the biggest upset of the 2013-2014 college basketball season last night at the Carrier Dome. BC took previously-undefeated and top-ranked Syracuse to overtime before winning a 62-59 decision as a 13.5-point road underdog. The Eagles hooked up money-line supporters with a monster +850 payout (risk $100 to win $850).

-- Alabama forward Nick Jacobs has taken an indefinite leave of absence from the team. Jacobs was averaging 8.4 points and 3.4 rebounds per game for the Crimson Tide, one the nation's most disappointing teams with an abysmal 10-15 overall record and a 4-8 mark in SEC play.

-- The news for the Wyoming Cowboys and Larry Shyatt couldn't possibly have been worse Wednesday. That's when the news of an ACL tear for leading scorer Larry Nance Jr. came down. Nance was leading Wyoming in scoring (15.4 PPG), rebounding (8.6 RPG), blocked shots (2.1 BPG) and steals (1.4 SPG). The Cowboys have won eight of their last 11 games to give themselves a chance to earn an at-large NCAA bid, but that task became much more formidable with the loss of Nance. They are 17-9 overall and 8-5 in the Mountain West.

-- With BC's upset win of the 'Cuse, red-hot Virginia is now alone atop the ACC standings with a 13-1 record. The Cavaliers have three home games on deck (Notre Dame, Miami and Syracuse) before finishing the regular season at Maryland.

-- UCLA trounced California by an 86-66 count as a two-point underdog last night. Jordan Adams led the Bruins with 28 points, six rebounds and five assists. Kyle Anderson had another stat-stuffing performance, producing 11 points, nine boards and seven assists

Spartans look to rebound

February 20, 2014


Michigan State (21-5 SU, 14-10 ATS) at Purdue (15-10 SU, 9-13 ATS)

Sportsbook.ag Line & Total: Michigan State -5

No. 13 Michigan State will look to bounce back from a surprising loss to Nebraska as it travels to West Lafayette on Thursday to take on Purdue.

The Spartans (14-10-1 ATS overall) are coming off one of the most shocking losses of the season on Sunday when they lost to Nebraska at home by nine points. That gives Michigan State alternating wins and losses for eight straight games, but the school is still tied for first place in the Big Ten at 10-3 SU (9-4 ATS) with a game looming against Michigan on Sunday.

The Spartans are also 6-1 SU (7-0 ATS) in true road games this season where they outscore the host teams by a hefty 11.0 PPG margin. For Purdue, the season has been a struggle, as the team has lost five of its past seven games SU (3-4 ATS) to fall to 9-13 ATS overall and 5-7 (SU and ATS) in conference play. The Boilermakers do own a 12-2 SU mark at home, but are just 4-7 ATS at Mackey Arena.

However, Purdue is coming off an 82-64 rout against rival Indiana on Saturday where the high-scoring Hoosiers shot a pitiful 32.2% from the floor. These two teams haven’t played yet this season, but the Spartans own a five-game win streak (SU and ATS) in this series with all five victories coming by at least 13 points. But dating back to 1997, the schools have an even 7-7 split (SU and ATS) in meetings at West Lafayette.

Michigan State is just 23-40 ATS (37%) when facing a marginal winning team (51% to 60% win pct.) under head coach Tom Izzo, but the Boilermakers are 0-8 ATS after an ATS win this season.

Michigan State entered the season as one of the favorites to win the national title, and despite the current rough patch, this team has all the pieces necessary to reach the Final Four. The Spartans offense scores 76.9 PPG (49th in Div. I) on 46.7% FG (60th in nation) and 37.9% threes (31st in Div. I) because they do such a great job of sharing the ball, ranking seventh in the nation in assists (17.2 APG). They also do a solid job of rebounding the ball with a +4.9 RPG margin and 38.3 total RPG (35th in Div. I), while ranking among the top-60 teams in the nation in scoring defense (64.8 PPG, 48th), shooting defense (38.8% FG, 13th), steals (7.4 SPG, 56th) and blocks (4.8 BPG, 57th).

The biggest thing for Michigan State is that the Spartans need to get healthy, as PG Keith Appling (14.4 PPG, 4.7 APG, 3.5 RPG), PF Adreian Payne (16.3 PPG, 7.7 RPG) and SF Branden Dawson (10.2 PPG, 8.7 RPG) have all missed time, or are currently out in Dawson’s case (broken hand). Appling is the leader of this team, but his wrist injury that kept him out for three straight games is not yet fully healed. He logged only 19 minutes in the loss to Nebraska, tallying just two points and one assist, but he scored 17 points in his team's 78-65 rout at Purdue last season. Payne missed seven games with a foot injury from Jan. 11 to Feb. 1, but he is finally healthy, as evidenced by his 18.3 PPG and 9.0 RPG over his past three contests. The 6-foot-10 Payne has the ability to dominate a game in many different areas. While he plays in the paint for the Spartans, Payne has the ability to stretch the defense and shoot from the perimeter, knocking down 43% of his three-point attempts.

This forces the opposing big men to play defense on the perimeter, opening driving lanes for players like leading scorer SG Gary Harris (17.4 PPG, 4.5 RPG, 2.7 APG). Although Harris has seen his shooting percentages drop significantly from 46% FG and 41% threes as a freshman, to 41% FG and 32% threes in his sophomore season, he did a great job of attacking the rim in Sunday's game, going to the line seven times, which was the same amount of FT attempts that he had in his previous four games combined.

With all of the injuries that the Spartans have suffered, freshman SF Kenny Kaminski (6.1 PPG, 48% threes) has taken his game to another level. He has scored at least eight points in four of his past five games, including a 19-point performance in a win against Penn State on Feb. 6. With the NCAA Tournament nearing, the most important thing for the Spartans is to get healthy. However, they can ill-afford to look ahead to the Michigan game, as the Boilermakers are still hungry for that signature win this season.

Purdue averages only 73.1 PPG (125th in Div. I) on a subpar 42.9% FG clip (251st in nation) and 34.0% threes, but is relentless on the glass with 39.7 RPG (16th in Div. I) and a +3.8 RPG margin. The defense surrenders 70.0 PPG (175th in nation) on low shooting percentages (41.3% FG and 32.0% threes) thanks to a hefty 5.6 BPG (27th in Div. I). While the Boilermakers come into this game with 10 losses on the season, they have been competitive for the most part. Six of these 10 losses are by 10 points or less, including two conference road defeats by three points each.

Senior SG Terone Johnson (12.2 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 2.3 APG) has been the leader this season for the Boilermakers, reaching double figures in all but five of the team’s games. He has been very good from the three-point line (38%), but must improve on his free-throw percentage (57%).

C A.J. Hammons (10.6 PPG, 7.4 RPG) is the leader on the glass, and is an emerging star in the Big Ten. The sophomore showed his ability in a triple overtime win against Minnesota on Feb. 5, when he finished with 20 points, 14 rebounds and six blocks. Hammons will be tested in this game, as Payne presents him with a very difficult matchup.

SG Ronnie Johnson (10.7 PPG, 38% threes, 3.6 APG) and SG Kendall Stephens (7.5 PPG, 37% threes) are two players that are capable of having big games, and will need to do just that for the Boilermakers to get the victory.

Senior SG Sterling Carter (4.9 PPG) had a big game in Saturday's win, scoring a season-high 19 points to lead his team. Carter played just 18 minutes versus Indiana and made 6-of-8 FG and 5-of-6 threes.

VCU at UMass

February 20, 2014


The Atlantic 10 Conference will be in the spotlight this Friday night in men’s college basketball when the VCU Rams look to bounce back from a tough loss when they square off against the Massachusetts Minutemen. The rest of Friday’s lineup is littered with a few intriguing contests in some of the other mid-major conferences.

VCU Rams at Massachusetts Minutemen (ESPN2, 7:00 p.m. ET)

VCU is currently in second place in the Atlantic 10 with a straight-up record of 8-3, but its regular season title hopes took a major hit in last Saturday’s 64-62 loss to No. 10 St. Louis as a 5 ½-point road underdog. The Rams are currently three games in back of the Billikens, who are now a perfect 11-0 SU in conference play.

The loss was actually the Rams second in their last three games after dropping a 69-62 decision to St. Joes 69-62 on Feb. 8 as three-point road favorites. They are still a profitable 6-2 against the spread in their last eight games and the total has stayed UNDER in three of their last four contests. Overall, VCU is 20-6 SU with an even 12-12 mark ATS. It is 4-2 ATS in its last six road games and the total has gone OVER in three of its last five games on the road.

Head coach Shaka Smart has gained a reputation over the past few years for getting the most out of his team when the chips are on the line. The loss to the Billikens was a huge setback, but you know he will have his squad ready to go on Friday night. The Rams are averaging 75.9 points and shooting just 42 percent from the field, but they have remained solid on defense by holding teams to 65.9 points a game. Treveon Graham leads the team in scoring with 15.7 points per game and he is second in both rebounds (6.9) and assists (1.9).

The Minutemen are 4-4 SU in their last eight conference games after jumping out to a 3-0 start in the A-10. They are 20-5 SU overall on the strength of a solid 12-1 record in nonconference play. UMass has covered in three of its last for games including a 67-61 road victory over George Washington this past Saturday as a five-point underdog.

Massachusetts comes into this game with a 4-6-1 record ATS in conference play and on the year it is 15-10 ATS. It has won 10 of 11 home games this season SU, but it has only covered in five of those contests. The total has stayed UNDER in seven of its 11 games at home; however it has gone OVER in three of its last four outings overall.

With Chaz Williams leading the way with 15.4 PPG, the Minutemen have a slight advantage in scoring with an average of 77 points and they are a betting shooting team than the Rams with a field goal percentage of 47.3 percent. The concern has to be on the other end of the court with a defense that is allowing an average of 70.1 PPG, which has actually ballooned to 73 points in its last six games.

The one thing that UMass does very well is control the boards with 38.8 rebounds while holding its opponents to an average of 31.6 rebounds a game. Cady Lalanne has led the way in this department with 8.6 rebounds and he is second on the team in scoring with 12.8 PPG.

The Minutemen opened as slight one-point home favorites over VCU in this conference clash. The number has jumped up to 2 while the total is hovering between 147 and 148.

The Rams came over to the A-10 last season from the CAA and promptly swept UMass both SU and ATS as solid favorites in each contest.

Bonus Games

Iona Gaels at Rider Broncs (ESPNU, 8:00 p.m. ET)

The Gaels continue their quest for the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference regular season title in the first of two meetings against Rider in the next nine days. They have a two-game lead over Manhattan in the standings with a 14-2 SU record in the conference and they are 17-8 SU overall. Iona has won its last nine games SU and it comes in as an early four-point road favorite for this contest. The Broncs are 13-12 SU overall with a 9-7 record in the MAAC. They are just 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games and the total has gone OVER in their last two games.

The Gaels have won seven of the last nine meetings in this series, but the two split last season’s series SU with Rider covering in both games. The total has stayed UNDER in the last six meetings. Despite that run, Iona and Rider are starting at a total between 160 and 161 points tonight.

Detroit Titans at Wright State Raiders (ESPNU, 10:00 p.m. ET)

Detroit has strung together four SU victories in its last six games to improve to 6-7 SU in Horizon League. The Titans began their conference schedule with a 58-53 win over Wright State as two-point home favorites, but the road team in this series is still 5-2 SU in the last seven meetings. The Raiders come into this matchup with 7-6 SU record in conference play and they are 6-2 ATS in their last eight outings.

In this series, Detroit has a 6-2 edge both SU and ATS in the previous eight meetings, but the last four games have been evenly split 2-2 both ways. The total has stayed UNDER in five of the last six games. Wright State opened as a seven point home favorite this time around but the early money has dropped the line to 6.

Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind.......

13) North Carolina 74, Duke 66-- UNC outscored Duke 20-7 on foul line; teams combined to go 7-31 from arc. tough game to ref; very physical, lot of carping from players. Five of eight guys Duke used finished game with four fouls. Very curious to see how Duke comes out Saturday vs Syracuse.

12) Michigan State 94, Purdue 79-- Tom Izzo turned into Paul Westhead for a night, as Spartans went 13-19 from arc in first half snd shot their way past a Purdue club that took 20 free throws in each half.

11) Guy sitting behind Spartans' bench wearing a Michigan State pullover was Izzo pal/former NFL coach Steve Mariucci, in Indianapolis for the NFL Combine this weekend.

10) Why aren't Eldrick Woods/Phil Mickelson at the Match Play event this week? Woods was probably planning to go to the Olympics with his girlfriend the skiier, but she got hurt-- did they go anyway?

9) Speaking of the Olympics, Islanders lost John Tavares for the season with a knee injury, which is why some people are against NHL players going to the Olympics.

8) None of the four #1 seeds made it past the second round of the Match Play tournament, an event that gets less interesting as it goes on. First day is the best action, with 32 matches going on all day.

7) Bruce Bochy has managed 19 years in big leagues, won two of last four World Series; his career record is 1,530-1,530.

6) Joe Maddon has a 677-620 record with the Rays, which is becoming Hall of Fame-worthy, when you conmsider they were 518-775 before he got to the Bay Area. He's made the playoffs four of the last six seasons.

5) NFL salary cap is going up 5%, to $130M per team; league is doing great financially, which is why Roger Goodell banked $44M last fiscal year.

4) Braves signed SS Andrelton Simmons to a $57M contract; young man hit only .248 LY in his first full year in the big leaguies.

3) Bob Knight was a great coach before they put the shot clock and 3-pointer in; he's a poor color analyst on TV. If you can't sound good working with Brent Musburger, you're a lost cause. Only time Knight shows an ounce of enthusiasm is when he talks about hunting/fishing.

2) Cal-Irvine 60, Hawai'i 56 ot-- Anteaters have never been to NCAAs, but they're on top of the Big West now; three of their last four wins are by 4 or less points, or in overtime.

1) BYU 73, Gonzaga 65-- Is the WCC a one-bid league this year?

Syracuse at Duke

February 21, 2014


When Syracuse invades Cameron Indoor Stadium to face Duke on Saturday night, it will be a rematch of one of the best games of the entire season. Jim Boeheim's team got pushed to overtime by the Blue Devils at the Carrier Dome, but it came away with a 91-89 victory on Feb. 1.

Duke took the cash as a 4.5-point underdog in the first meeting between these storied programs as conference rivals. The 180 combined points flew 'over' the 134.5-point total.

Rasheed Sulaimon drained a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to force the extra session and silence a record crowd at the Carrier Dome. Sulaimon finished with a team-high 16 points and also dished out six assists.

C.J. Fair was the catalyst for the winners, scoring a game-high 28 points. Jerami Grant added 24 points and 12 rebounds. Tyler Ennis and Trevor Cooney scored 14 points apiece, with Ennis handing out six assists.

Duke freshman sensation Jabari Parker was limited to 26 minutes of playing time before fouling out. Parker finished with 15 points and nine rebounds.

As of early Friday night, most books had Duke (21-6 straight up, 17-10 against the spread) favored by six for Saturday's showdown.

This is the first trip to Cameron for Hall-of-Fame coach Jim Boeheim. Some of the luster may have been taken off the rematch since both teams are coming off of defeats, but that only ups the stakes for both schools.

Coach K's team will be playing its third game in five days and for the fourth time in the last eight days. The Blue Devils cruised to a 68-51 win Tuesday at Ga. Tech, easily taking the cash as 11-point road 'chalk.' But in Chapel Hill on Thursday night, they came out on the wrong end of a 74-66 decision as two-point road favorites.

Parker had 17 points and 11 rebounds in the losing effort. Quinn Cook and Rodney Hood added 17 and 16 points, respectively.

Duke led by seven at intermission and by 11 with less than 16 minutes left, but it missed 13 straight shots at one point in the second half. The Blue Devils came into the UNC game tied for second in the nation in 3-point percentage (41.7%), but they made only 5-of-22 from deep.

Fatigue could be an issue for Duke. It got beat 43-30 by UNC on the boards and left a lot of shots short in a nine-minute stretch without a made field goal. The Blue Devils were also off on the free-throw line, making just 7-of-12. Cook missed a critical front end of a one-and-one opportunity late in the second half.

Syracuse (25-1 SU, 13-8-1 ATS) is coming off its first loss of the season to Boston College in overtime Wednesday night. The Eagles went into the Carrier Dome and captured a 62-59 win as 13.5-point road underdogs.

The Orange failed to make 3's and couldn't stop BC from doing so. The Eagles banged home 11-of-22 treys, while the 'Cuse was just 2-for-12 from beyond the arc.

Fair finished with 20 points and rebounds. Ennis added 14 points, eight boards and six assists.

Duke is unbeaten in 14 home games with a 9-5 spread record. The Blue Devils have been single-digit home favorites three times, posting a 2-1 ATS mark.

This is just the second underdog situation for Syracuse. It won outright at Pitt by a 58-56 count as a two-point road underdog.

The 'under' is 14-12 overall for Duke, 7-6 in its home games. The 'under' is cashed in three straight for the Blue Devils.

The 'under' is on a 13-3-1 roll for the Orange to improve to 13-6-2 overall. The 'under' has been a winner in five consecutive games for the 'Cuse.

ESPN will have the telecast at 7:00 p.m. Eastern.

**B.E.'s Bonus Nuggets**

-- Florida reserve point guard Kasey Hill (5.6 PPG) will miss his second straight game Saturday at Ole Miss. The freshman McDonald's All-American is dealing with a groin injury.

-- After missing Wednesday's home win over TCU, Shane Southwell (ankle) has been upgraded to 'probable' for Saturday's key Big 12 showdown at Oklahoma. Southwell averages 10.4 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game.

-- Wisconsin's Ben Brust (13.9 PPG, 4.9 RPG) is 'questionable' for Saturday's game at Iowa. Brust didn't practice Thursday after landing hard on his back Wednesday.

-- Akron might be without three key contributors for Saturday's game vs. Ohio. Nick Harney (8.9 PPG, 3.6 RPG) has been suspended indefinitely, while Jake Kretzer (undisclosed) and Reggie McAdams (mono) are listed as 'questionable.' Kretzer averages 7.8 PPG and McAdams is scoring at a 6.3 PPG clip.

-- On Friday afternoon, 5Dimes had Cincinnati listed with 60/1 odds to win the national championship. I think that's a great play, as I'm supremely confident that the Bearcats will be in the Sweet 16. If Sean Kilpatrick shoots well in the NCAA Tournament, Mick Cronin's squad will have an excellent chance to get to Dallas because it defends and rebounds as well as any team in the country. If Cincy gets to the Sweet 16, this future wager will guarantee profit with all the different hedge opportunities that will be available at that point.

-- 5Dimes had Florida as the +550 'chalk' to cut down the nets in Dallas. The next-shortest odds belonged to Kansas (6/1), Syracuse (7/1), Michigan St. (+750), Duke (10/1), Louisville (12/1) and Arizona (12/1).

-- The nation's best ATS teams are Wichita St. and Cleveland State, who are both 18-6-1 versus the number.

Saturday's Top Games

February 21, 2014


SYRACUSE ORANGE (25-1) at DUKE BLUE DEVILS (21-6)
Sportsbook.ag Line: Duke -5.5

Both coming off disappointing losses, No. 5 Duke and No. 1 Syracuse will meet at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Saturday night in a rematch of a thrilling overtime win for the Orange earlier this month.

Syracuse is coming off its first loss of the season, a 62-59 overtime upset at the hands of lowly 7-19 Boston College. That was the Orange's second consecutive ATS defeat, sending them to 14-8 ATS overall and 8-5 ATS in the ACC. Most impressively, they are 8-1 ATS in non-home games, going a perfect 5-0 ATS in conference road games. Duke enters this game amid a brutal stretch of three games in five days, and it lost the second of those to unranked North Carolina, 74-66 on Thursday night. But the Blue Devils (17-10 ATS overall, 9-5 ATS in ACC) are a perfect 14-0 SU (9-5 ATS) at home this season, where they outscore visitors by 19.3 PPG. When these teams first met on Feb. 1, Duke covered as a 4.5-point underdog at the Carrier Dome in a 91-89 overtime defeat. The Blue Devils made 15 threes to keep them in that game, but foul trouble eventually took its toll as they racked up 10 more fouls than Syracuse (25 to 15) throughout the contest.

The Syracuse offense doesn’t wow anybody, averaging a mere 69.6 PPG (231st in Div. I) on 44.8% shooting (146th in nation) with 12.7 APG (180th in Div. I). But that’s mostly due to its slow pace of play, the same one that holds opposing offenses to 58.3 PPG (7th in nation) on 40.5% shooting and 34.3% threes. The Orange are very active in their 2-3 matchup zone, amassing 8.3 SPG (20th in Div. I) and 5.1 BPG (41st in nation) this season. Though they average only 35.1 RPG (166th in Div. I), they still collect on the majority of their opportunities, outrebounding their foes by 4.0 RPG. Freshman PG Tyler Ennis (11.8 PPG, 5.7 APG, 3.3 RPG) is the key for the Orange on both ends of the floor, pacing the team in assists and playing 34.8 MPG while turning it over only 1.6 times per game. His amazing 3.6 Ast/TO ratio is on pace to eclipse the all-time record for freshmen. He and SG Trevor Cooney (13.3 PPG) both average 2.0 SPG, putting intense pressure on opposing backcourts. They both scored 14 points in the first meeting against Duke while Ennis added nine assists, finding his post players who went to town on a foul-ridden Blue Devils frontcourt. SF C.J. Fair (16.6 PPG, 6.0 RPG) is the team’s top scorer and dropped a career-high 28 points on 12-of-20 shooting in the Feb. 1 meeting. PF Jerami Grant (12.4 PPG, 7.2 RPG), who also torched Duke with a career-best 24 points (7-of-11 FG) and a game-high 12 rebounds, creates a huge matchup problem down low. And don’t forget about C Rakeem Christmas (6.0 PPG, 5.0 RPG), who plays big minutes on this team that doesn't go much deeper than a six or seven-man rotation. Christmas not only drew some crucial fouls on Duke star PF Jabari Parker, but he contributed seven points, 10 rebounds (4 offensive) and six blocks in that Feb. 1 victory.

Duke’s offense puts up 80.6 PPG (22nd in Div. I) on 46.8% shooting (60th in nation) with 14.8 APG (51st in Div. I). They rank fifth nationally in long-range shooting, hitting 40.9% of their threes, but made only 5-of-22 threes (23%) in Thursday's loss to North Carolina. Defensively, Mike Krzyzewski’s squad yields 67.0 PPG (92nd in Div. I) on 44.9% shooting and 30.6% threes. Freshman PF Jabari Parker (19.1 PPG, 8.8 RPG) is Duke’s top scorer and rebounder, and he posted 15 points and nine boards (5 offensive) in 26 minutes before fouling out in the first contest. PF Amile Jefferson (6.7 PPG, 6.7 RPG) also fouled out, leaving Duke with a small roster in overtime that Fair and Grant were able to exploit. However, Jefferson was still able to contribute 14 points (6-of-10 FG), seven rebounds and five assists in that overtime defeat. SF Rodney Hood (16.2 PPG, 4.1 RPG) is the team’s second leading scorer, while PG Quinn Cook (12.1 PPG, 4.8 APG) rounds out the team’s double-digit contributors. Cook had one of his worst games of the season against the Orange, going 2-for-12 from the field and 1-of-8 from three-point range. The team’s savior was SG Rasheed Sulaimon (9.2 PPG, 45% threes), who scored 16 points off the bench, including a buzzer-beating three-pointer to send the game to overtime. SG Tyler Thornton (3.2 PPG, 49% threes) was also critical in the game, hitting three treys on three consecutive possessions late in the second half to help keep the Blue Devils in it.

ARIZONA WILDCATS (24-2) at COLORADO BUFFALOES (20-7)
Sportsbook.ag Line: Arizona -4.5

No. 4 Arizona looks to inch closer to a Pac-12 regular season title when it travels to Boulder on Saturday night to take on a talented Colorado team.

The Wildcats (15-10 ATS overall, 6-7 ATS in Pac-12, 5-3 ATS on road) will look to sweep the season series after a 69-57 win over the Buffaloes (15-11 ATS overall, 7-7 ATS in Pac-12, 10-6 ATS at home) on Jan. 23 in Tucson. SG Nick Johnson led the Wildcats with 18 points in that victory, while Brandon Ashley finished with 15. However, Ashley is currently out for the rest of the season due to a foot injury. SF Xavier Johnson led Colorado with 21 points, while connecting on 4-of-5 three-pointers. The defense of the Wildcats proved to be the difference in the game, holding the Buffaloes to just 39% FG while forcing 16 turnovers. They did a great job of making Colorado play a more one-on-one style of basketball, as the Buffaloes finished with just six assists on its 20 field goals. PG Spencer Dinwiddie is out for the season with a torn ACL for Colorado, and was the guy that could get other Buffaloes shots. Arizona has a 5-3 SU advantage (4-4 ATS) in this series since 2009, but has lost both of its trips to Boulder during this timeframe, including a 71-58 blowout defeat last February.

Arizona ranks 131st in the nation in scoring at 72.8 PPG, but shoots a solid 46.4% FG (69th in Div. I) with 14.8 APG (52dn in nation). The Wildcats are shooting 35 % from the 3-point line, but they do not attempt a lot of them. However, the Arizona defense is what has this team competing for a national title, ranking fifth in the nation in scoring defense (57.7 PPG allowed) and sixth in FG Pct. defense (38.1%). The Wildcats are coming off a 67-63 overtime victory at Utah in its most recent outing on Wednesday. PF Aaron Gordon (11.5 PPG, 7.8 RPG) had one of his toughest games as a college basketball player that night, finishing with three points, three rebounds and five turnovers in 20 minutes of action before fouling out. While he struggled in that game, he is still one of the most athletic power forwards in college basketball, and a big reason why the Arizona ranks 21st in the nation in rebounding (39.1 RPG). Junior SG Nick Johnson (15.8 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 2.5 APG) has improved as an elite guard in the country, and can be downright devastating in the transition. He has always been a terrific defensive player, but the improvement on the offensive end has been a big reason why the Wildcats are title contenders. However, he is in a major shooting slump over his past five games, making only 27% FG and 2-of-20 threes. Another vital part of Arizona’s team is PG T.J. McConnell (8.0 PPG, 5.4 APG, 4.0 RPG). While his numbers are not off the charts, McConnell has given the Wildcats a true point guard, something they did not have last season. The talented athletes on the floor allow him to play the brand of basketball he is most comfortable with, and he doesn't make many mistakes, as evidenced by his 2.7 Ast/TO ratio. SG Gabe York (6.9 PPG, 40% threes) is the best shooter on the team, and is being counted upon more as a shooter after Brandon Ashley went down with an injury. A knock on Arizona is because it doesn't have an explosive offense, it is hard for them to blow out its opponents. The Wildcats have gotten off to bad starts in their past two road games, and can ill-afford another one against a Colorado team that is finding its groove while adjusting to basketball without Spencer Dinwiddie.

The Buffaloes come into this game playing their best basketball of the season, going 5-1 SU (4-2 ATS) so far this month, defeating Arizona State 61-52 in their most recent game on Wednesday. When Dinwiddie was lost for the season, there were many people that thought the Buffaloes were done for. One player that has performed very well in Dinwiddie’s absence is junior PG Askia Booker (14.6 PPG, 3.5 RPG, 3.4 APG). Booker has shown the ability to hit the big shot, as he hit a 30-footer at the buzzer to beat No. 7 Kansas early in the season. Booker has also been on fire this month with 19.3 PPG, 5.2 RPG and 6.7 APG in the six games. While he has been inconsistent from deep this season (31% threes), Booker is the type of guy that can hit three or four long-range tries in a hurry. However, he is at his best when he is slashing and getting to the basket. Teaming him with sophomore PF Josh Scott (14.4 PPG, 8.7 RPG) gives the Buffaloes a talented inside-outside duo. Scott is one of the most improved players in the Pac-12, emerging as a big-time post presence with 11 doubles-doubles, including 13 points and 13 boards in Wednesday's victory. SF Xavier Johnson (12.0 PPG, 6.1 RPG) is another player that can put up a lot of points in a hurry, as his 21 points versus Arizona last month started a run of eight straight games with 11+ points (17.0 PPG). The Buffaloes have been rebounding the ball well this season, ranking 37th in the nation with 38.3 RPG. They also rank 101st in scoring (74.0 PPG) on 44.9% FG (143rd in Div. I). The loss of Dinwiddie has really shown when it comes to assists, where Colorado ranks 208th in the country with 12.4 APG. The Buffaloes easily won the matchup in Boulder last season, and have one of the most underrated crowds in the country. Expect the Coors Events Center to be rocking as the Buffaloes look to potentially punch their ticket to the NCAA Tournament on Saturday night.

Saturday's Tip Sheet

February 21, 2014


This Saturday’s slate in men’s college basketball is loaded with a number of crucial conference showdowns between teams in dogged pursuit of a regular season title, but for this betting tip sheet we have zeroed in on a key battle in both the AAC and the Big Ten. Both games have a high noon tip with Louisville facing Cincinnati in the AAC and Wisconsin on the road against Iowa in the Big Ten.

No. 11 Louisville Cardinals at No. 7 Cincinnati Bearcats (CBS, 12:00 p.m. ET)

The defending national champs were clear favorites to win the newly-formed AAC this season, but heading into this showdown the Cardinals find themselves a game and a half in back of Cincinnati in the standings with a straight-up record of 11-2. Making things even more interesting is the fact that one of those two losses was a 69-66 setback against the Bearcats on Jan. 30 as nine-point home favorites. Louisville has won its last five games since then and it has covered in its last four to improve to 14-10 against the spread.

Russ Smith leads the Cardinals with 17.8 points per game, but this offense is deep with scorers with four other players averaging at least 10 PPG. Overall, they are ranked 11th in the nation in scoring with 83.0 PPG and shooting a healthy 48 percent from the field. Defensively, Louisville is holding teams to 61.6 points a game.

The Bearcats’ lone loss in the AAC this season against 13 SU wins was a 76-55 meltdown to No. 22 Memphis as four-point road underdogs on Feb. 8. They are 24-3 SU overall and that was their first loss since mid-December.
Cincinnati has not been the best bet in conference play with a 5-8-1 record ATS. It has failed to cover in five of its last seven outings and the total has stayed UNDER in nine of 13 conference games with a posted line.

Cincinnati is at the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to scoring with an average of just 69.7 PPG and it has failed to even reach this number in seven of its last 10 games. It does have a bona fide star in Sean Kilpatrick, who leads the team in both points (20.2) and assists (2.6). The Bearcats’ strongest suit remains a defense that is ranked fourth in the nation in points allowed (57.4).

The opening line for Saturday’s showdown has the Cardinals favored over Cincinnati by three points on the road.

The Bearcats hold a 4-2 edge both SU and ATS in the last six games of this series. The total went OVER the 131.5-point closing line in the first meeting this season after staying UNDER in the previous six games.

No. 16 Wisconsin Badgers at No. 15 Iowa Hawkeyes (ESPN2, 12:00 p.m. ET)

Wisconsin kept its Big Ten regular season title hopes alive with a huge 75-62 victory over No. 20 Michigan this past Sunday as a four-point road underdog. It is now 8-5 SU in conference play and 2 ½ games in back of Michigan State in the standings. The Badgers’ current winning streak stands at four games after suffering through an extended 1-5 SU slide in their previous six outings. Over the course of this 10-game stretch they have gone a costly 3-7 ATS. The total has stayed UNDER in five of their last seven games.

The Badgers have picked-up the pace on offense during its current winning streak with 75 points or more in three of the four games. Frank Kaminsky came up big against the Wolverines with 25 points and 11 rebounds. He is averaging 13 PPG while shooting 54.4 percent from the field and 41 percent from 3-point range. Wisconsin has also tightened things up on defense by holding teams to an average 60.9 points over its last seven games.

The Hawkeyes are two games out of the lead in the Big Ten with a SU record of 8-4. It has been a bumpy ride over their last seven outings with a record of 4-3 both SU and ATS. Iowa started the new year with a 75-71 loss to the Badgers as a 6 ½-point road underdog and the total went OVER the 137-point line. There are some lingering personnel concerns this time around with Melsahn Basabe and Gabriel Olaseni listed as day-to-day due to the flu and Anthony Clemons 'questionable' with an injured ankle.

As long as Roy Devyn Marble and Aaron White are in the starting lineup the Hawkeyes should be just fine. Marble leads the team in scoring with 16.4 PPG and White is chipping-in another 13.2 points while pulling down 6.6 rebounds. Iowa remains the seventh-highest scoring team in the nation with an average of 83.6 PPG and it is ranked third in rebounds with 43 a game. Defensively, it is giving-up 67.2 points to its opponents.

The Hawkeyes come into this matchup listed as five-point home favorites to even the season series at a game apiece.

The home team has won seven of the last nine meetings SU, but Iowa has covered in the last six games. The total in this series has gone OVER in the last five meetings.
