ART ARONSON

1* Bonus Play Boston College.

Looks like a good spot to pull the trigger on the underdog tonight and while we’ll stop short in calling for the outright upset, we do definitely believe this is a few too many points to be giving up in this circumstance. BC comes in off a hard-fought 84-76 home loss to Notre Dame, while Florida State enters off a deflating 80-66 setback to Pittsburgh. It was a bit of a bitter pill to swallow for the Eagles last time out as they let a ten-point halftime lead slip away. So far BC averages 72.6 PPG and allows the exact same amount. FSU averages 83.6 PPG and allows 71.4. However the Seminoles looked extremely average in the setback to the Panthers, allowing Pittsburgh to hit 55 percent from the floor. Note that BC is 7-2 ATS in its last nine following an ATS victory, while FSU is just 1-3 ATS this year off a loss against a conference rival. The Eagles last three road losses have come by 11 points or fewer and they’ve scored 76 points or more if five of their last eight. We’ll recommend a second look at BOSTON COLLEGE on Monday night.

#704 Take Virginia over Miami (7 pm ESPN)

Much like Wisconsin yesterday, the odds makers have making it very inviting for you to take Miami in this game. Maryland looked attractive yesterday against a 7 point spread but the Badgers covered that game and expect Virginia to do the same thing tonight in Charlottesville. Virginia is coming off a terrible performance against North Carolina last time out. Their defense was fine in that game they just could not make a shot to save their life. That will change tonight at home and I expect them to win this game by 13-15 points. Do not miss out on Doc’s Sports Big Monday card.

CBB Game #703 Monday Free Pick on Miami Hurricanes (+) @ Virginia Cavaliers @ 7 ET

Even without Ja'Quan Newton (suspended), the Hurricanes are playing well and come into this match-up at Virginia off of back to back wins. Though this will certainly be a tough test for Miami, the Canes are catching the Cavaliers at the right time. The Cavs come into this game struggling to score points as they don't have much of an interior game on offense so when the perimeter shots aren't falling it becomes a disaster for Virginia Tech. What makes the situation even tougher for the Cavaliers here is the fact that Miami does play solid defense and is allowing only 64 points per game on the season. That said, I just don't see the Cavs as being able to get much of a margin in this game. Virginia has lost 5 of its last 7 games and they've been held to just 62 points or less in 4 of those 5 defeats. The Cavaliers are 6-10 ATS when playing with 1 day or less of rest between games. The Hurricanes are a perfect 2-0 on the ACC road so far this month and I expect a 3rd straight cover here as all the pressure is on Virginia to respond here after three straight losses and that certainly isn't going to make the outside shooting come any easier for the Cavs as pressure doesn't help shooting form from the outside. One final factor here is that the Canes were knocked out of the ACC Tourney by the Cavaliers last March. The Hurricanes may not get their revenge here but they are certainly motivated by it and I don't foresee them falling short by much in this one. The last 3 meetings have all been decided by single digits and the average margin has been just 5.3 points. Look for more of the same in this one as it proves to be another tight game. Free Pick on Miami plus the big points early Monday evening. Best of luck, Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach

711 Coastal Carolina 3.0 (-110) Greek vs 712 South AlabamaAnalysis: Both Coastal Carolina snd South Alabama are showing signs of life down the Sun Belt stretch. The Chanticleers had won four of five before falling at Troy on Saturday. The Jaguars are also 4-2 in their last six games following Saturday's win at home against Appalachian State.

This is the only meeting between these teams this regular season. I see some reason to look for the road dog to get this one in the win column off the head to head category comparisons.

The key player in this game figures to be South Alabama guard Ken Williams. When he's driving and dishing, Williams can be very effective at this level. But he's also very prone to going into launch mode and settling for threes, and that's an aspect of the game Williams simply isn't very good at.

The same can be said for Shaq Calhoun. The two have combined to attempt 253 toys this season, and have converted on only 69 of those shots.

The Chanticleers prefer to play zone defense, and if that gets Williams in particular shooting instead of distributing, I would think the Jaguars might be in trouble to win this game. For me, this is going to come down to three point quantity for South Alabama. If the Chanticleers force them to settle for long jumpers, I think they win this game. If the Jaguars work the ball and get inside the zone, they should hold serve at home.

This sure looks like a tossup. If that's indeed the case, the Chanticleers have shown themselves to be a bit more proficient in winning games that go to the wire. I'll lean to Coastal Carolina plus the points.
