Kentucky +5 -110 over Wichita State

Midwest Region - Scottrade Center - St. Louis, MO

2:45 PM EST. Look, it’s hard to argue against a 35-0 team, regardless of its schedule. After all, the Shockers can beat only the teams they play. It’s also difficult to argue that they aren’t cut out for tourney play when the likes of Cleanthony Early, Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet all played key roles on a Final Four squad. However, this is a Shockers’ team that had the 135th toughest schedule in the land and that didn’t play a top-25 team the entire year. Wichita State’s best win this season came against BYU, a team that was destroyed in the previous round by the now departed Ducks. Battle tested the Shockers are not. Furthermore, Wichita State does not have a dominant low-post defender or a frontcourt shot-blocker. That’s a huge problem against the Kentucky’s bigs. Additionally, the Shockers only force turnovers on 18% of the opponents possession’s and that’s another danger sign for a high seed.

Yes, Kentucky is very young (every key contributor on the roster is either a freshman or a sophomore) and that youth has cost them this season, as they ended up with a 25-10 overall record. Looking deeper, the Wildcats could have easily gone 34-1 this season. Remarkably, nine of the Wildcats 10 losses this season came by five points or less with half of those being against ranked squads. In the SEC Championship game, the Wildcats lost to tourney favorite Florida by a single point, 61-60. Kentucky’s tough schedule and slew of close games has them well-prepped to knock off the Shockers. The Wildcats' frontcourt of Julius Randle, Dakari Johnson and Willie Cauley-Stein is intimidating defensively and productive offensively. Kentucky is one of the nation's top offensive rebounding teams that have racked up second-chance points all season. They also got to the line more times (935) by a wide margin than any other SEC team. This is an aggressive team and extremely talented team that was ranked #1 in the country before the season began. Kentucky absolutely has the chops to win outright here and these five points being offered is about the sweetest insurance there is today.


Gonzaga +6½ -102 over Arizona

West Region - Viejas Arena at Aztec Bowl - San Diego

9:40 PM EST. Arizona basically goes with a 6-man rotation, bringing Rondae Hollis-Jefferson off the bench and subbing him into multiple positions depending on who’s in foul trouble. If you can get into their bench, they instantly become more vulnerable. Indeed the Wildcats play a tremendous brand of defense but one thing we know for sure in that when you wager on a #1 seed, you are almost always going to pay a premium to do so and that applies here. Teams' without a deep bench often struggle after the first round, even a team as good as the Wildcats. Arizona did not have an easy time against Weber State, falling behind 7-0 and being outscored in the second half by three points. What that suggests is that WSU made some key second half adjustments, something Gonzaga’s Coach, Mark Few is a master at.

Of all the mid-major underdogs in the round of 64, Gonzaga might have been the most impressive of them all. They defeated a very good Cowboys team and dominated play in all the key areas. The Zags built a 10-point lead early and never once let the Cowboys back in it. Unlike Bulldogs teams of the past, that were ranked high and projected to make deep runs, this edition came in under the radar as a #8 seed and proved on Friday that the role of the underdog is one they can thrive in. What we like so much about the Zags is they came in under-seeded, which results in them receiving inflated points. Gonzaga plays outstanding defense, they are solid at the PG position and these are two key traits that should allow them to stay well within this margin and perhaps even win it outright.

SPORTS WAGERS NHL

Columbus -½ +130 over N.Y. ISLANDERS

Regulation only. The Islanders are 17-18 on the road but at home they are a dismal 10-26. Nassau County has no atmosphere whatsoever and now that the Islanders are out of

the playoffs, expect a small crowd and even less atmosphere in this one. To make matters worse, the Islanders are without their two best players in John Tavaras and Kyle Okposo. Combined, that pair has recorded 135 points this season. Also out for the Isles is Michael Grabner and Lubomir Vishnovsky. Oh and let’s not forget they traded Matt Moulson for Thomas Vanek earlier in the year and subsequently traded Vanek at the trade deadline. In their last home game, five days ago, the Islanders lost to the offensively challenged Wild, 6-0. In net, Evgeni Nabokov is among the worst in the game. Nabokov’s last seven games has seen him post save percentages of .846, .833, .897, .737, .818, .875 and .857. This guy should be a back-up in the minors. In other words, the Islanders are a complete mess.

How big is this game for the Jackets? If the season ended today, Columbus would be out of the playoffs. A win here and they leapfrog over Washington and they could also jump over the Red Wings and Maple Leafs depending on the outcome of their respective games. Two points separate four teams vying for the final two playoff spots and the Jackets are one of them. This game is absolutely crucial. The Jackets are just 4-4 over their past eight games but don’t put a lot of emphasis on those results. They outshot the Hurricanes 47-20 in a recent 3-1 loss and even outshot the Sharks 38-27 in another recent loss. Columbus is playing hard, they’re the vastly superior team here and those efforts will be rewarded today against the NHL’s most beatable home team.


DETROIT -½ +140 over Minnesota

Regulation only. Minnesota has one win in their past five games and that lone victory occurred against the Islanders. They have just two wins over their past nine games. On zero days rest with the second game being on the road, Minnesota is 1-4 this year. The Wild lost at home last night to this same Detroit team and there’s a big discrepancy in their home and road records. They are under .500 on the road and now they’re going bad. Offensively challenged and struggling at the worst possible time (heading into the playoffs), Minnesota has very little appeal here against these hungry Red Wings.

Detroit has put itself into a position to make the playoffs. With a win here and a Maple Leafs lost in New Jersey today, the Red Wings can leapfrog over the Leafs into seventh place and put Toronto on the brink of missing the dance. The Red Wings also have two games in hand on both Toronto and Washington. Playing without Pavel Datsyuk, Henrik Zetterberg, Tomas Jurco, Justin Abdelkader, Dan Cleary and others, Detroit has won four of five with only loss over that span occurring against Chicago. Given little chance of making the playoffs and ending the NHL’s longest playoff run when all those players were injured, Detroit, much like last year’s Ottawa Senators are playing with a huge chip on their shoulders. And it’s not like they lack talent. Young players like Riley Sheahan, Gustav Nyquist, Tomas Tatar, Darren Helm and Luke Glendening among others are thriving in key roles. Combine that with the leadership and experience of Daniel Alfredsson, Todd Bertuzzi and Johan Franzen and what you have is a focused, determined and very dangerous team. The best news of all, however, is that Jimmy Howard has regained the form that made him one of the NHL’s best goaltenders over the past couple of years. The Red Wings can smell the playoffs and they can also smell some wounded prey here.

[CHANCE]

I have no personal knowledge of 'Hockey Crusher's' operations, but i believe you are reading things wrong.
There is no ONE system. And, having three consecutive losses is not a factor in that days selection or any of the systems. I believe they are saying that the TOP play of the day comes from a system that is XXX -- X (whatever the numbers are). The 0-4 you see today is the current record for the last 4 plays, not for that particular system. The 77-65-1 record you see today is the overall record for the TOP play (BLUES today) and the 4-0 is the record of the last 4 Top plays.
