Syracuse (+4) for 2 Units
Syracuse, after reeling off 18 straight wins, ran into a rough stretch in the teeth of the Big East in mid to late January. Villanova was one of those Big East predators that ate them up. The 'Cats dropped 11 trey bombs on them at the Carrier Dome in an 83-72 win. Corey Stokes contributed to 4 of them. Tonight, good chance Stokes will miss his third straight game because of turf toe. Syracuse will most likely draw their defensive attention to Corey Fisher who has been red hot. 'Cuse has gradually worked out of their slump on a 4-2 run and should do well in this spot; after all, they're 10-4 ATS as a traveler against a team with a home win % above .600. They're also 4-1 ATS on Mondays. And Syracuse HC Boeheim is a sweet 14-5 ATS in same season conference revenge. Villanova, on the other hand, is a mere 3-7 ATS at home vs a team with a winning road record. Syracuse the call.

Kent St at West Michigan
Pick: Kent St Pk
We're definitely looking against a laboring WMU side that has dropped its last dfour spread decisions at Kalamazoo. Meanwhile, despite Friday night's BracketBusters loss at Drexel, Kent State has still covered 10 of its last 15 on the board. Golden Flashes also shooting for their 23rd straiught win (!) over MAC West foes. Play Kent State
