ACC tournament (Greensboro)
North Carolina had 12-game win streak snapped at Duke Saturday; they beat Pitt 75-71 (-3) at home Feb 15, holding on after leading by 12 with 8:23 left (NC was 15-25 on line). Tar Heels won first ACC tourney tilt in eight of last nine years, with only loss in season when they were 5-11. Pitt had stress-free win over Wake Thursday, just their second win in last eight conference tourney games since winning Big East in '08.

NC State had ball and lead twice in last minute at Syracuse, gagged away 56-55 loss Feb 15 (+13); Wolfpack never trailed by more than 3 points in game that Grant played for Orange. Syracuse had 1-5 skid, then won by 16 at Florida State Sunday with Grant back in lineup; they've won first tourney game eight of last ten years- this is new tournament though, a road game. State played three starters 32:00+ in win over Miami.

Big Dozen tournament (Indianapolis)
Minnesota/Wisconsin split two games this year; Gophers won 81-68 at home during Badgers' 1-5 meltdown, then lost 78-70 in Madison Feb 13, outscoring Gophers 30-15 on foul line. Minnesota played four subs 14+ minutes in typical Pitino-style Thursday; only two starters played 37+. Wisconsin won eight of last nine games, still has shot for a #1 seed next week- they're only 4-4 in first conference tourney game last eight years.

Atlantic 13 tournament (Brooklyn)
St Joe's lost its last two games after a 17-3 run spurred by rotation of six guys; Hawks beat Dayton twice this year, 60-57 on road, then 79-53 at home 17 days ago, when they made 9-15 from arc, led 39-20 at halftime in game that is Flyers' only loss in their last ten games. St Joe's won its first conference tourney game eight of last nine years; in year they lost, Hawks were 5-11 in league. Dayton used one guy more than 24:00 in an easy win yesterday.

VCU/Richmond are local rivals; Rams beat then twice this year, 81-70 at home, then 56-50 at Richmond eight days ago. VCU presses all over the court; Spiders lost star guard Lindsey after first meeting, plus they used three starters 31:00+ in yesterday's 76-64 win over Duquesne, ending a 4-game skid. Rams are 16-4 in last 20 conference tourney games; they've won last four games overall, with three of the wins by 11+ points.

SEC tournament (Atlanta)
Kentucky is an enigma, the least experienced team in country, but full of talent; they lost 87-82 at LSU Jan 28 (O'Bryant had 29), then beat them 77-76 in OT Feb 22, when O'Bryant was 8-25 from floor, but LSU led in last minute anyway. Tigers only used their bench 31:00 in that game. Tigers haven't won consecutive games since Feb 1; they used four guys 32:00+ yesterday. Wildcats lost three of last four games since LSU win.

Conference USA tournament (El Paso)
Southern Miss KO'd home team last night, so crowds here will be small rest of weekend; only one Golden Eagle played 30:00+. USM won only meeting with Louisiana Tech this year, 80-71 at home Jan 19, despite a 2-18 day from arc- they outscored Tech 28-14 on line. Bulldogs are on a 5-game win streak; they beat Charlotte easily Thursday; only two guys played more than 27:00. Eagles won their last six games, all by 8+.

AAC tournament (Memphis)
UConn dispatched home team last night, holding Memphis to 26% from floor, which should keep crowds to minimum here; Huskies used three starters 31:00+, but game was 41-27 at half, fairly stress-free- they split pair with Cincinnati this year, losing 63-58 on road, then winning 51-45 at home in rematch 13 days ago. Bearcats won 61-58 yesterday against UCF; they still played four substitutes double figure minutes.

Big X tournament (Kansas City)
Kansas beat Iowa State twice this year, 77-70 in Ames, then 92-81 in a Jan 29 rematch, when Jayhawks led by 16 early, then saw game 46-46 at half. Kansas is 20-2 in its last 22 tourney games, but they got taken to OT by Oklahoma State yesterday- they were down hoop with 1:32 left. Cyclones played three starters 35:00+ in 91-85 win over K-State, with Wildcats shooting 58% from floor. Kansas used three starters 41:00+.

Texas beat Baylor twice this year, 74-60 in Waco, then 74-69 at home 16 days ago; Longhorns crushed West Virginia last night, leading 35-14 at half- no Longhorn played more than 28:00. Baylor won five in a row, nine of last ten games; they're probably off bubble now- they're playing third day in row, and TCU game Wednesday was little more stressful than they would like- they outscored Sooners 23-5 on line Thursday.

Pac-12 tournament (MGM Las Vegas)
Colorado had huge win over Cal yesterday, they're 8-4 in last 12 games, won three of last four, with all three wins 59-56- they have to think they are in- they used four starters 32:00+ vs Cal. Without Dinwiddie, Buffs aren't good enough to bear Arizona- they lost 69-57 at Tucson, then got crushed 88-61 in rematch Feb 22. Wildcats won six of last seven games; they pummeled Utah yesterday, are playing for a #1 seed next week.

UCLA hammered Stanford 91-74 at home Jan 23, then lost rematch at Maples 83-74 Feb 22, when Adams/Anderson were held to total of 14 points. Bruins pulled away from red-hot Oregon in second half last nite, using only two guys more than 27:00- they shot 59.5% from the floor. Cardinal never trailed in 79-58 win over ASU last night, but they played Wednesday too; Dawkins still used three of his starters 33:00+.

Mountain West tournament (Las Vegas)
San Diego State beat UNLV twice this year, 63-52 at Viejas, then 73-64 here nine days ago, when Shrigley hit 4-5 from arc to rally Aztecs from down 5 early in second half (Roscoe Smith sat out that game for UNLV). Rebels are as good as their guards; DeSean-Jones/D.Smith are a combined 1-19 from arc in two games vs Aztecs. UNLV is 3-4 in last seven games. San Diego State held its last two opponents to a combined 87 points.

SEC Tournament betting cheat sheet: Round 3

Missouri Tigers vs. Florida Gators (-11.5, 132)

The Tigers were unable to hold a nine-point lead late in regulation Thursday and also had a bad turnover that helped Texas A&M force the second overtime, but they used one of their strengths to survive, making a season-high 40-of-53 free throws.

The Gators were the first team to ever go 18-0 in SEC play, a run they capped with a rousing 84-65 win over rival Kentucky at home Saturday. Included in the unbeaten campaign was a 68-58 win over the Tigers on Feb. 4. Recently the Gators have been dominant, winning their last three games by an average of 21 points.

TRENDS:

* Missouri is 3-1-1 ATS in its last five neutral site games.
* Florida is 2-5 ATS in its last seven neutral site games.
* Over is 20-8 in Missouri's last 28 neutral site games.
* Under is 7-2 in Florida's last nine games following an ATS win.


South Carolina Gamecocks vs. Tennessee Volunteers (-10, 134)

TRENDS:

* Favorite is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings.
* South Carolina is 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings.
* Under is 7-3 in Tennessee's last 10 games vs. the SEC.
* Under is 4-0 in South Carolina's last four neutral site games.


Louisiana State Tigers vs. Kentucky Wildcats

Shavon Coleman had one of his best games of the season, recording 15 points, eight rebounds and three steals in the win over Alabama. Tim Quarterman came off the bench to score a career-high 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting versus the Crimson Tide. The Tigers dished out 19 assists in their first game of the tourney and improved to 13-2 when recording 15 or more this season.

Julius Randle was named the SEC Freshman of the Year by the league's coaches and is the fifth straight Wildcat to earn the accolade. Randle, who also earned All-SEC First Team honors, leads the team in scoring (15.4), rebounding (10.5) and double-doubles (18), including four straight to finish the regular season. Willie Cauley-Stein was selected to the All-SEC Defensive Team after topping Kentucky in blocks (88), including a season-high nine on two different occasions.

TRENDS:

* LSU is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings.
* Underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings.
* Under is 4-1 in LSU's last five games overall.
* Under is 7-3 in Kentucky's last 10 games overall.


Mississippi Rebels vs. Georgia Bulldogs

Marshall Henderson poured in 21 points, including seven 3-pointers, against Mississippi State. Henderson has knocked down at least one 3-point field goal in an SEC-record 65 consecutive games. Jarvis Summers continued his stellar play as he finished with 21 points, six assists and four rebounds versus the Bulldogs.

Charles Mann was named to the All-SEC Second Team after averaging 13.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.2 steals per game. Mann recorded his first career double-double when he posted 22 points and 10 rebounds in a 69-61 victory over LSU in the final game of the regular season. Kenny Gaines came on strong in the last month, tying Mann for the team lead in scoring (13.4) while finishing in double figures in his last seven outings.

TRENDS:

* Over is 4-1 in the last five meetings.
* Mississippi is 5-11 ATS in the last 16 meetings.
* Underdog is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Under is 8-1 in Georgia's last nine games vs. the SEC.

Game of the Day: Ducks at Avalanche

Anaheim Ducks at Colorado Avalanche (+110, 5.5)

The hottest team in the NHL since New Year's Eve, the Colorado Avalanche can continue their ascent up the Western Conference standings when they host the Anaheim Ducks on Friday night in their second straight heavyweight showdown. The Avalanche held off Chicago 3-2 on Wednesday night to vault past the Blackhawks and into second place in the Central Division and can pull even with the Ducks and San Jose for the No. 2 seed in the West. The Avalanche have a league-high 20 wins since Dec. 31.

The Ducks once held a firm grip on the top slot in the West and the Presidents' Trophy, but their losing streak reached four games with a gruesome 7-2 setback at Calgary on Wednesday in the opener of a three-game road trip. Anaheim is four points back of league-best St. Louis after losing seven of 10 (3-5-2). "To start a road trip, one of our biggest road trips and having a division rival chasing you down and have a ton on the line, it's ridiculous how we played," Ducks forward Andrew Cogliano said after the debacle in Alberta.

LINE HISTORY: Both teams opened at -104 with the total at 5.5 goals (Over (-110)

POWER RANKINGS: Ducks -197 / Avalanche -191

INJURY REPORT: Ducks - B. Lovejoy (Ques. Illness). Avalanche - P. Stastny (Ques. Back)

WHY BET THE DUCKS (43-16-1-6): Anaheim has also seen its lead atop the Pacific Division disappear primarily due to an offensive swoon in which it has been limited to two goals or fewer seven times in the last 10 games. The power play continues to be a disaster for the Ducks, failing to convert on a pair of opportunities against the Flames to dip to dismal 2-for-35 over the past 11 games. Captain Ryan Getzlaf, coming off the first minus-4 of his career, needs one goal to reach 30 for the first time - but he's mired in a six-game drought and hasn't scored with the man advantage since Dec. 6.

WHY BET THE AVALANCHE (43-18-2-3): Matt Duchene continues to lead the charge for surging Colorado, notching a goal and assisting on the game-winning tally to lift the Avalanche to their sixth victory in seven games. Duchene has scored in three of the last four contests and has amassed five goals and nine assists during a career-best nine-game point streak, but he made it clear that Colorado is not satisfied with its standing despite finishing last in the West a year ago. "We are happy to be in second place, but that's not our goal," Duchene said. "We want to keep pushing and climb as high as we can."

TRENDS:

* Ducks are 18-7 in the last 25 meetings.
* Home team is 5-2 in the last seven meetings.
* Ducks are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings in Colorado.

CONSENSUS: Fifty-four percent of wagers are on the Avalanche.

River City Sharps

CBB
Houston vs. Louisville

Grab this one now, because we think this line is going up. Anything under 20 represents value for Louisville (which is really amazing when you think about it) but this Louisville team is playing their best, most focused basketball of the season, as evidenced by their last two wins over UConn and Houston. They won these games by a combined 95 points! There are some coaches that don't take conference tournaments as seriously as others, but Rick Pitino was recently quoted that these are "very important" to him as a dress rehearsal for the Big Dance, and his career record backs that up. Tonight, the Cardinals train keeps rolling right through Houston, who is coming off an upset win over SMU in the quarterfinals yesterday. Louisville has beaten this team by 39 points and 15 points this season and this one will be equally as ugly. The Cards are 17-6 ATS in all neutral court games over the last 3 seasons and March apparently suits these Cardinals just fine, as evidenced by their back-to-back Final Fours and last year's national title. The Cards absolutely steamroll Houston tonight, who come down off the upset cloud! The Sharps say...

3 UNITS LOUISVILLE (-18.5)
