Stephen Nover 3*
Bradley 18.5 (-110) Greek vs 854 Illinois St.
Analysis:
Illinois State is coming off three wins and covers, the last two as double-digit 'dog winners against MIssouri Valley Conference leader Wichita State at home - coming from 18 points down to do it - and winning at Evansville this past Thursday. The victory against Evansville moved Illinois State into second place in the league. Now the Redbirds get a well deserved home rest stop against Bradley, which is second-to-last in the conference.
The Redbirds are laying a huge number- an opening 18 to 18 1/2 points - in this rivalry matchup. The Redbirds haven't been favored by more than 8 1/2 points all season. Their largest victory margin versus a board foe is 13 points.
The two teams met on Jan. 20 and Illinois State won, 55-52, as an 11-point favorite. Bradley shot 31.2 percent from the floor. The Braves shoot 36.7 percent on the season.
The Missouri Valley is a conference known for well-coached, disciplined teams that play strong defense. Illinois State certainly fits that mold giving uŸp less than 67 points per game. But the Redbirds also only score 67 points a game. Bradley doesn't score much, but the Braves surrender less than 70 points a game. The Braves are giving up an average of just 56 points during their last two games.
Bradley is going to play at a slow, deliberate pace. The total is low. So taking this many points in a rivalry matchup is huge especially against a foe in a letdown spot.

STEVE MERRIL HE IS 21 WINS 2 LOSSES 91%.
The dude is on a run similar to what Marco DeAngelo was on a few years back. Cant remember exactly what it was but it was sick. I missed most of as I did this one. I want to say I jumped on this one just before the Clemson pick. What we all need to remember is the balance factor when it finally does end and he goes negative over 2-3 consecutive days. Be real careful as in order for him to hit his 56-57% he would have to lose way more than he wins. Keep that in mind when you see a few losing days in a row, switch then to Paper betting him a day or 2 to see if he breaks back out. Do not increase wagers. in fact you should be gradually increasing them after 3-5 wins. not when he starts balancing back out.
In the meantime FIRE AWAY AT THIS RED HOT CAPPER AND RIDE HIM TO THE BANK. Best of Luck.
Anyone else have others who are doing HOT?

Ken Thomson | CBB Total - Sunday, Feb 14 2016 8:30PM
865 UCLA / 866 Ariz. St OVER 151.0 Greek single-dime bet
Analysis: Both teams need this game badly so focus should not be an issue. ASU will try and keep momentum rolling after two straight wins while the Bruins need to start winning games to get to at least .500 in the Pac-12 or they have no shot an at large bid for the Big Dance. That's why I am looking Over the total as I feel shooters will be knocking down three's in this this game. The first game hit 155 as the Bruins won 81-74 at Pauley Pavilion. The two teams only went to the free throw line a to –tal of 30 times in that game as both went ( 10-15 ) from the charity stripe. I expect that game total to be higher. It's a gut feeling that has me thinking this game can get into the low 80's. It's the get away game of the weekend so a lot of interest in this one and with both teams needing the game the side is tough to call.
