GC: Tournament preview
Major Conference Tournaments Preview
In this Piece we will take a look at some of the Teams from the Major College Conferences and assess the chances of some of the better teams.
Atlantic Coast Conference
1. Virginia. The Cavaliers play the best overall defense and will be tough to beat here. This conference has shown alot of parity throughout the season. However we have to like The Cavaliers chances, as they enter off a loss and have a solid #10 RPI Ranking.
2. Duke. Coming off their most sought after win. They led wire to wire on Saturday night and stopped the 12 game win streak of North Carolina. The Blue Devils have the highest RPI Rank in this conference at #8 and will be a tough out for any team, as they are versatile but must be more consistent.
3. Syracuse. The Orange enter off a solid road win over Florida St. However they hit a wall in the last quarter of the season and after starting off by winning their first 20+ games faltered, particularly on offense. If they have put their dry spell behind them they can definitely get to the final here and will have an advantage of catching teams off guard late in games with their switching defenses.
4. North Carolina. The Heels had their 12 game win streak snapped at Cameron Indoor on Saturday. They are however, the now teams and have played their best ball, after a lethargic Start. It will be interesting to see how they respond off their loss and whether they can keep momentum on their side moving into this weeks ACC Tournament.
BIG 12:
1. Kansas. Once again the Jayhakws find themselves pegged as the team to beat in the BIG 12. This years tourney could really be won by any number of teams as they have shown the most parity this season of all the major conferences. Kansas has the #3 overall RPI Ranking and will be hungry here entering off a loss where they trailed throughout. They are 12-7 vs top 50 RPI Teams and have played the most amount of top 50 teams in the country. This will surely help them this week.
2.Iowa. St. The Cyclones have a solid RPI Ranking and could beat and get beast by anyone. They do most of their damage at home, but do appear to be the next best team in this Conference as they have an #11 RPI Ranking and have played the 15 th toughest schedule in the Nation.In their last game they hit a buzzer beater to Tie Oklahoma St and win in overtime and win a game where they were down 16 in the 2nd half. Momentum or Satisfaction. We will see later in the week.
3.Okalahoma. The Sooners have a solid squad once again this season and are ranked 23 overall and have played the 12 th strongest schedule. They enter off a solid win and have held their own winning 8 of 13 vs top 50 RPI Teams. They have the talent to string together a nice run.
4. Texas. The Long horns enter off a loss at Texas Tech but can beat any one in this conference. They are not ranked but have a talented roster. They appear to be just a notch below some of the top teams, but do have a winning conference record at 11-7.
BIG EAST:
1.Villanova. With the departure of Pittsburgh and Syracuse, the Wildcats have flexed their muscles in this conference and have won 16 of 18 this year. They are ranked and play like a number one team and are 13-3 vs top 100 schools. They will be tough to beat here in a watered down Big East this season. Cant see any one but Maybe Creighton knocking them off.
2. Creighton. The Blue Jays have not skipped a beat coming over from the Missouri Valley conference. Had they been their Wichita St might not be going to the big Dance as the first team since the 91 UNLV Squad to enter undefeated as Creighon would have beaten them at home. The Jays are 14-6 vs top 1000 RPI Ranked team and are ranked #7 in the RPI Scale. Would not be a surprise as they have the best player on the court in Mcdermott who is now the 7th highest scoring player in history.
3. Providence. The Friars like the rest of the pack are a distant 3rd to the top two and would need things to break right to win in here. One must never day never as U.CONN strung 5 wins in 5 days a few years ago a feat that may never happen again.
PAC 12:
1. Arizona. The Wildcats were caught late in Oregon on Saturday and will come in as the team to beat here in this tournament. Arizona is perhaps the best team in the country. They have the best record vs top 50 schools in the nation in the RPI Scale going 10-2. They play solid defense and can score the ball and should, at the very least be in the final. No other team in this conference is ranked.
2. UCLA. The Bruins have a talented team, though have been inconsistent at times. They are not as good as Arizona. However they do appear to be the 2nd best team in the PAC 12. They are 11-7 vs top 100 teams and are the only other team to have a winning record vs top 50 schools. They will need to do their best here.
3. Oregon. The Ducks put a nice effort together in their last game a last home game win vs Arizona. They have pulled themselves together, at least for the time being as they have responded after starting the season on fire and then going on a 6 game losing streak than had them looking like a duck, that was dead in the water. Dana Altman has done a nice job refocusing them. However its unlikely they would win the whole thing.
SEC:
1. Florida. Hard to go against the Gators here as they are the #1 ranked team and have been rolling. They have the best record outside of Wichita St at 29-2 and should coast in this tournament. In games vs top 50 schools they have a 6-2 record. Needless to say, outside of Kentucky this conference has not been too impressive. Any other team would to win this week would be a complete surprise.
2. Kentucky. The Wildcats are the only other formidable foe in this conference and while they have a nice RPI Ranking at #18, they have that because they have played the 6th toughest schedule. However they are a dismal 2-5 vs TOP 50 RPI Schools. They cannot stay with the Gators this season, should they even make it to the final.
3. Tennessee. The Volunteers could get to the final but are another team that wont be able to stay with Florida. The VOLS are a top 50 RPI Ranked school but are just 2-5 vs top 50 schools. In other words, the SEC is not one of the better conferences this season. GC

Game of the Day: Nets at Heat
Brooklyn Nets at Miami Heat (-9.5)
After halting a three-game losing streak last time out, the Miami Heat will look to extend its torrid pace at home when the Brooklyn Nets pay a visit on Wednesday. The Heat have won six straight on home court and only the Indiana Pacers (29-4) are more efficient in their own building than Miami (25-4) this season. After the Heat clinched a playoff spot in a 99-90 effort against Washington Monday, Dwyane Wade told reporters, "We needed this win. We're not used to losing three games in a row."
Brooklyn comes to town with six wins in its last seven games and an NBA-best 22-9 record in 2014. It's been more than six years, however, since the Nets won in Miami - an eight-game span that dates back to February, 2008 - but Brooklyn shouldn't lack confidence against the Heat, joining the Chicago Bulls as one of only two teams to top Miami twice this season. "Guys defensively have been together as one (and) sharing the ball," coach Jason Kidd told the New York Post of Brooklyn's recent success, adding, "It's been fun to watch."
TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN
LINE HISTORY: The Heat opened as 9-point faves before being bet up to -9.5.
POWER RANKINGS: Nets (-7.0) - Heat (-14.5) + Home Court (-3.0) = Heat -10.5
INJURY REPORT: Nets - Kevin Garnett (Ques. Back), Andre Kirilenko (Ques - Ankle). Heat - Greg Oden (Prob. Rest)
ABOUT THE NETS (32-30, 33-29-0 ATS, 30-28-4 O/U): Brooklyn is riding high after knocking off the Atlantic Division-leading Toronto Raptors on Monday to pull within three games of the top spot in the division. Paul Pierce drained the go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:14 to play against Toronto and noted a change in atmosphere around the team that the 16-year pro has seen on contending teams in the past. "It's that time of year, against a division rival. It definitely felt different," Pierce said.
ABOUT THE HEAT (44-17 SU, 28-31-2 ATS, 34-27-0 O/U): As Miami has struggled of late, so have the Eastern Conference-leading Indiana Pacers, whose concurrent four-game skid allowed the Heat to pull within a game of the top seed with Monday's win. Wade played in the second half of back-to-back games for just the third time this season against Washington, scoring 13 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter to lift Miami to victory. "I wanted to challenge myself," said Wade, who has routinely rested his knees this season, to the Miami Herald, before reiterating, "I would love to play every night but I'm still going to be smart."
TRENDS:
* Home team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
* Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Miami.
* Favorite is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings.
* Nets are 4-9 ATS in the last 13 meetings.
CONSENSUS: 52 percent of wagers are on the Nets.

Game: Grambling State Tigers vs. Texas Southern Tigers
Time: Wednesday 03/12 1:30 PM Eastern
Pick: Grambling State +16 (-110) at BetPhoenix
We grabbed the win with this Grambling State team yesterday as they won outright as a double-digit dog, and will come back with them again today. Grambling lost 18 straight gams to Division-1 opponents, and generated just five wins all season, four of which came against Division-1 opponents. This is a vastly-improved team - one that has a renewed confidence. And after the 0-18 swoon, they have risen to go 4-5 in their last nine games. Texas Southern got a taste of that as they barely escaped this Grambling team at home by a scant 3-point margin. This line reflects the five-win season by Grambling, but they are not the same team anymore and will stay close in this one. Play on Grambling State.
