Four NCAAB bubble teams that need to impress Saturday
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

March is almost here, which means more games that will have huge impact on the NCAA tournament field as bubble schools continue to look for signature wins to get to March Madness.

Today we look at schools that need to impress and have a quality chance to do so this weekend.

Connecticut Huskies (22-6, 10-5 American, 14-12 ATS)

Opponent: Cincinnati

Looking simply at their total record on the season, you would think the Huskies are a lock for the NCAA tournament. But a lack of elite wins and a fifth-place spot in the American Athletic Conference, after being swept on the season by SMU, has them in need of a big win. Hosting Cincinnati Saturday is perhaps the best chance for UConn to cement its spot in the tournament with a win over a ranked team.


Missouri State Bears (19-10, 9-8 Missouri Valley, 13-10 ATS)

Opponent: Wichita State

Missouri State can make national headlines in a rematch with the undefeated Wichita State Shockers. The 19-10 Bears took the Shockers to overtime in their home meeting, nearly ending WSU’s undefeated run in mid January. Now, on the first day of March, the Bears could end the Shockers streak while earning their 20th win in the process. Would it be enough to qualify for the tournament? You never know.


Xavier Musketeers (19-9, 9-6 Big East, 16-10 ATS)

Opponent: Creighton

The Musketeers have stepped up their play and just scored a big win over St. John's at MSG, where they came in as 6-point underdogs. Xavier already has a quality win over its rivals Cincinnati at home from earlier in the season and if they could beat Creighton at home, they would be able to count on a spot in the tournament regardless of how the rest of their Big East calendar pans out. Stopping Wooden Award favorite Doug McDermott is easier said than done, however.


Utah Utes (18-9, 7-8 Pac 12, 15-6-1 ATS)

Opponent: Colorado

Utah is in a weird place, sitting at 7-8 in the Pac-12. It’s just two games behind a logjam of four schools tied for third in the conference at 9-6. One of those schools is the Utes’ Saturday guests. Colorado makes the trip to Utah, where the Utes are a solid 17-2 on the season. Playing 9-6 teams California and Stanford on the road to close out the Pac-12 season, Utah could start a real climb and land a much more favorable seed in the conference tournament. Beating Colorado is the first step and it would be a serious resume builder. The Buffaloes, at 20-8, have a great chance of making the field.

Duquesne stays hot with win over Saint Louis

Duquesne sprang a huge upset of red-hot Saint Louis Thursday night, but wise bettors were probably aware the Dukes stood a great chance of covering a hefty spread.

Duquesne entered the road game with a 10-5-2 ATS mark and had cashed its last three in a row. The Billikens – winners of 19 in a row SU -- were 9-15 ATS and had dropped four straight pointspread decisions.

The Dukes were 13.5-point underdogs against Saint Louis, but notched a 71-64 victory to bolster their solid ATS mark and keep the Billikens in a betting-window freefall.


Home not where the heart is for Princeton backers

Princeton (15-8 SU, 8-9 ATS) is just 1-5 ATS on its home floor, including getting swept at the betting window last weekend. The Tigers beat Dartmouth 67-57 but failed to cash as a 13-point favorite last Friday, then fell to league-leading Harvard 59-47 on Saturday as a 2.5-point underdog.

The Tigers have a pair of home games this weekend as they host Yale (14-10 SU, 9-5 ATS) Friday and Brown (14-10 SU, 8-5-1 ATS) on Saturday.


UNC's 10-game winning streak bodes well for futures

Thinking about a futures bet on streaking North Carolina? Well, there is some precedent. When the Tar Heels beat North Carolina State 85-84 in overtime on Wednesday night, it marked their 10th straight win, something they hadn’t done since the 2008-09 season, when they opened with 13 straight wins and later added a 10-game winning streak.

Carolina ended that season with an 89-72 rout of Michigan State as a 7.5-point chalk in the NCAA championship game.


Columbia cashing in for Under bettors

A pretty good Ivy League bet throughout this season has been taking the under when Columbia hits the floor. The total has gone low in 11 of the Lions’ 15 lined games, and the trend has been even stronger on the highway for Columbia, at 6-1 in true road games and 9-1 counting neutral-site contests.

The Lions are at Dartmouth Friday and at Harvard on Saturday.

NMSU G Ross-Miller suspended

New Mexico State suspended guard K.C. Ross-Miller hours after he instigated a postgame brawl with Utah Valley on Thursday night, ESPN.com reported.

Ross-Miller fired the ball at Utah Valley's Holton Hunsaker at close range and hit him in the leg as time expired in the host Wolverines' 66-61 win in overtime.

Utah Valley fans then stormed the court as the victory got the Wolverines closer to the WAC regular-season championship.

A video of the postgame scene revealed New Mexico State guard DK Eldridge throwing a punch at someone in the crowd and staff forcefully pulling Aggies guard Daniel Mullings away from the melee.

WAC commissioner Jeff Hurd planned to review the video. He is meeting with the Aggies at their game Saturday at Cal State Bakersfield.

New Mexico State coach Marvin Menzies told ESPN.com there were "two separate components" between Ross-Miller throwing the ball and the fans rushing the floor.


Ranked teams fail to cash in for bettors Thursday

All six ranked teams in action failed to cover the spread and went 1-5 straight up in college basketball action Thursday.

Only the Louisville Cardinals won SU, hammering Temple 88-66 but just couldn't cover the 22.5-point closing spread.
