Gold Sheet

UNC Asheville 71 - Arkansas-Little Rock 70—This is what an NCAA playin
game is all about! Arkansas-Little Rock (SE16) finished 7-9 in the 12-team
Sun Belt Conference, lost its last three contests to end the regular season, then
won four games in four days in the Sun Belt Tourney to finish 19-16 and earn its
first big to the Big Dance since 1990! Sr. G Solomon Bozeman, the Sun Belt
Player of the Year, was a poor man’s Kemba Walker in that tourney, averaging
22 ppg in leading the Trojans in all four games. UNC-Asheville (E16) stood a
more respectable third in the Big South at the end of the regular season, then
won three straight in the league tourney to finish 19-13. Thus, Asheville’s
Bulldogs are favored in this game (even though they lost 96-49 earlier TY at
Ohio State). They have the tallest big man in this game in 6-10 soph D.J.
Cunningham, but he is usually not a dominating force (9 ppg, 7.5 rpg). UALR
can be hurt on the boards, but the Trojans are a very veteran unit, with a
combined ten senior and juniors. And, at times, the treys flow freely (6-0 Little
Rock sr. Matt Mouza canned 8 of 10 vs. Denver back in February). Asheville’s
Bulldogs are good thieves (sixth in the nation in steals). But with the Trojans
owning Bozeman and other veteran guards, prefer to take the points in this affair
“featuring” happy-to-be-there teams.
NCAA EAST REGIONAL

NCAA Play-in game at UD Dayton Arena, Dayton, Ohio
Clemson 63 - Uab 62—Can’t excuse either of these play-in teams for
entering Dayton with big chips on their shoulders after their inclusion in these
proceedings was almost universally condemned by the TV talking heads,
especially the bald ones (that’s you, Dickie V.). Clemson (E12) might believe it
was disrespected after being forced to go the play-in route, but UAB (E12) really
has a point to prove after its credentials were completely trashed in most media
outlets. Players sometimes listen to that stuff.
The Blazers own the great equalizer in this clash with 5-8 waterbug PG
Aaron Johnson (7.7 apg and C-USA MVP), while 6-10 C Cameron Moore (14.3
ppg & 9.4 rpg) can at least hold his own with the Tigers’ main interior threat,
Jerai Grant. And 6-5 sr. Jamar Sanders (17.7 ppg) has taken over many UAB
contests this season. Note that Clemson found ways to drop a lot of close
games (lost 8 by 6 points or fewer), as the team continues in adjustment phase
to new HC Brad Brownell’s modified Princeton style, a far cry from predecessor
Oliver Purnell’s uptempo preference. The UD Arena venue is familiar to
Brownell (who coached across town at Wright State), and the Tigers’ defense
(60.4 ppg & 39.8% FGs) should allow them to advance, but the Blazers’ road
prowess (9-6 SU away from home) makes not-insignificant spread worth a look.

From the Real Animal:

Tuesday free NBA play is Milwaukee +5 1/2:

Two nights ago Milwaukee was embarrassed at Boston scoring 56 points. You know the Bucks are going to come out and play extremely hard tonight. "That's about as humiliating a defeat as you'll ever see," coach Scott Skiles said. "They got us on our heels and took our competitive fight away from us. We pretty much just gave into it." "The thing is, this is one game, we can't let this snowball, we can't let this affect us going to the next game, we have to put this behind us and prepare for the Hawks," guard Earl Boykins said. The Bucks have plenty of incentive too. Milwaukee is 10th in the Eastern Conference, 1 1/2 games behind Indiana and Charlotte for the eighth and final playoff spot. Atlanta is secure in 5th place in the Eastern Conference, although the Hawks have lost 10 of 15. Milwaukee has won two of three against Atlanta this season after blowing a 3-2 lead in the first round of the playoffs when these teams met last year. The Hawks are 8-19 ATS as a home favorite this year. The Bucks are a perfect 9-0 ATS this season after back-to-back games being called for 18 personal fouls. They are also 17-5 ATS the past two years following a road loss of 10 points or more. Grab the points with the Bucks.​

Jeff Benton Tuesday's Action

20 Dime college basketball selaction on UAB as an underdog against Clemson in a Big Dance play-in game from Dayton, Ohio. As of 12:40 p.m. Eaastern time, the Blazers are catching betwhen 4 and 4½ points both here in Vegas and offshore.





10 Dime college basketball selection on Harvard as an underdog at Oklahoma State in the first round of the NIT. As of 12:40 p.m. Eastern time, the Crimson are catching between 5½ and 6 points both here in Vegas and offshore.

ANALYSIS​

​

So put yourself in a UAB basketball jersey. All you’ve heard for the last 48 hours is how you don’t belong in the Big Dance, that you didn’t beat anybody, that your 22-8 record is more or less the result of facing a bunch of non-conference patsies and playing in a weak conference. How do you think you’d feel? I’ll tell you how you’d feel: You’d be pissed off and highly motivated to come out and prove your doubters wrong. And that’s just what the Blazers are going to do tonight against a Clemson team that was no more deserving of a bid than UAB.





Seriously, look at Clemson’s results: It went 0-3 against North Carolina and also lost its only meeting against Duke – clearly the top two teams in what was a very weak ACC this season. The Tigers also lost their three “toughest” non-conferecnce games (at South Carolina, Michigan at home, vs. Old Dominion at a neutral site). That means Clemson’s best victory came against … uh, Miami, Fla.? Virginia Tech? Florida State (which avenged that loss in a second meeting with the Tigers)? In other words, Clemson is a fraud. And note this about the Tigers, too: They went just 6-9 in road/neutral-site games.





True, UAB went one-and-done in the Conference USA tournament, losing 75-70 in overtime to East Carolina after winning the regular-season league title. However, what few have mentioned is the Blazers second-leading scorer and leading rebounder – forward Cameron Moore – played just 14 minutes in the loss to East Carolina before leaving with an injury (and he had five rebounds in those 14 minutes). Moore is back healthy for this one, and he will be a difference-maker against an opponent that’s not at all dominant on the boards.





Finally, while Clemson strughled away from home this year, UAB was 9-6 SU and – here’s the kicker – 11-3-1 ATS in road/neutral-site games. Additionally, the Blazers are 3-0-1 ATS in their last four games as an underdog, 15-7 ATS in their last 22 as a neutral-site underdog and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 non-conference games. By comparison, the Tigers are in ATS funks of 1-5 in non-conference action, 2-4 as a favorite, 3-11-1 at neutral sites and 8-20 when laying points at neutral venues.





Bottom line: The pundits are indeed correct in claiming that one of these teams didn’t belong in the Big Dance … but that team is Clemson, not UAB.

ANALYSIS​

​

Harvard went 23-6 in the regular season and came within six points of a perfect Ivy League record and within nine points of a 27-2 record. That’s right, four of the Crimson’s six losses were by a total of nine points. Check it out: They lost Ivy League games to Princeton 65-61 on the road, Yale 70-69 on the road and Princeton 63-62 in Saturday’s winner-take-all neutral-site contest at Yale (a game Harvard led until a leaning jumper at the buzzer gave Princeton the win, the Ivy League crown and the Big Dance berth). The fourth narrow defeat was back on Dec. 4, when Harvard went to Michigan and fell 65-62 as an 8½-point underdog.





That means just two teams – George Mason (66-53 season-opening home win) and UConn (81-52 home win) – manhandled Harvard this year. And believe me when I tell you that Oklahoma State is NOT George Mason or UConn. The Cowboys went 19-13 in the regular season, including 7-11 in the Big 12. One of OSU’s conference losses came against Colorado, and I mention that because the Buffaloes got destroyed at Harvard this year. And even though the Cowboys had a decent showing in the Big 12 tournament, upsetting Nebraska 53-52 as a four-point underdog and nearly shocking top-seeded Kansas before falling 63-62 as a 14½-point pup, they’re still just 5-9 SU and 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games, including 1-5 ATS as a favorite.





Despite playing in the up-tempo Big 12, OSU scored more than 66 points just twice in its last nine games. At the same time, Harvard averaged nearly 72 ppg this season (shooting 47.6 percent overall, including better than 51 percent in the last five games. And if this thing comes down to a foul-shooting contest, I like my chances with Harvard, whose 81.2 percent free-throw percentage ranks second in the entire country.
