Southern Mississippi (-5) for 3 Units
Most of the time we can count on the Golden Eagles' HC Eustachy to deliver a big play for us and he usually comes through. We were fortunate to lay off him and SM Tuesday and they didn't cover; however, we're jumping back on them here. SM is a sweet 13-3 ATS on the road and 7-1 ATS in this series. And the Eagles can close as a road favorite at 6-2 ATS. They're catching the Pirates off a rare upset win as an 11' point dog at Central Florida and we don't think they can handle winning for that matter, they're still learning how to win and, for them, coming off a win of that magnitude is like winning the NCAA Tournament. We'll look for the methodical Eagles to slice through that porous Pirate defense which allowed 75 ppg over their last 5 games.

Baylor -3
We've officially given up on Texas, who has now fallen from #1 in the country to unranked in less than two months time. That's a nearly unprecedented drop as no #1 ranked team has gone on to fall out of the polls in the same season since Alabama did it in 2003. The Longhorns have simply been a disaster at the betting window against conference opponents going 3-13 ATS this season and 7-28 ATS their last 35 league games overall. HC Rick Barnes made headlines earlier in the week when he said he was more interested in producing pro prospects than winning national titles. Well, we already knew that as there's only one Kevin Durant and we can't remember the last time the school won it all. One of the team's first losses of the year came against tonight's opponent, Baylor, who now owns a better overall record than Texas. The Bears snapped an 11-game losing streak in Austin back on Jan 30th with an 80-77 OT win and will now look to snap an eleven-game losing streak to the Longhorns here in Waco. This game is crucial to Baylor, who can also clinch the 3rd seed (and a first-round bye) in the upcoming Big 12 Tournament with a second victory over Texas, but can drop as far as 6th with a loss. Do we have to remind you how dominant Big 12 home teams have been all season? Take Baylor.

3* Nevada (-) over Louisiana Tech
First and foremost, really impressed with Nevada's win over New Mexico State on Thursday, as the Aggies are a high quality team when healthy, which they were then they played the Wolf Pack. La Tech did win the season's first meeting, but not only did the aforementioned Gibson play in that contest but the Bulldogs only won by six despite attempting 14 more free throws. Now that the home zebra edge will be with UNR look for the Wolf Pack to post another win at the Lawlor Events Center.
