Take the T-Wolves +15.
This is one of those bets that needs to be made—and likely not watched. Minnesota is terrible, and playing a superior team, all on no rest. They might lose by 35.
But hang on a minute. 15 points is a lot in this league, and Minnesota is a respectable 8-9 on the second day of back to back games. Stunningly, the clubs have played three times this season and the T-Wolves won the first two games SU and covered the third losing 107-103 as a 7.5-point home dog. The T-Wolves also covered three games out of four in 2008-09.
The stats say the number is probably fine, but this is a situational wager where we need to close our eyes and pat the dog. When the final horn sounds, we’ll feel like suckers or supermen.
Best of luck in all your bets, DC.

Brandon Lang Writeup
Now that DeMarco has been doing the handicapping, Brandon Lang's picks are up on the year excluding the 530 dime loss on the Colts in the Super Bowl:
Brandon Lang
NOTE:
Winning in March.
Nothing beats winning in March and considering the fact I am looking for college basketball winner # 7 in a row, I would say my opinion is right where it needs to be 16 days into this month.
Have a great feel for college basketball right now and the product I am churning out speaks for itself. Simple as that.
Feel great about 7 straight college winners. 12-2-1 college best bet run. 3 straight winning weeks.
Looking for more tonight. I want # 8 in a row badly. I want to push the best bet run to 13-2-1. I want 4 straight winning weeks when all is said and done after this week.
So without any further hesitation, let's get the winning Wednesday and start the pursuit of winning week # 4 in a row.
5 DIME - ST. JOHN'S RED STORM
Just flat out love what I saw from the Johnnies in the Big East tourney.
So much so I will ride them right out of the box in this game tonight over Memphis.
Off an OT win and road cover over Depaul to end the year they rolled into Madison Square Garden and caught fire. They destroyed Uconn 73-51 as a 4 1/2 point dog followed with an almost upset of Marquette losing by 2 as a 4 point dog.
Now with their confidence building by the game, they travel to take on a Memphis team that has to be disappointed for not making the big dance.
Hey, when you can't win your conference tourney and get taken out by Houston, I wouldn't be all that happy playing in a junior tourney either.
Off their loss to Houston at the buzzer as a 6 point favorite, they are virtually laying that same number here.
Hmmm, let me see, Big East versus Conference USA and my Big East team is getting almost a full touchdown?
Boys and girls, that is value I can't pass up.
Let the numbers show the Red Storm is 5-1 ATS last 6 on the road, while Memphis is a pathetic 0-6 ATS last 6 non-conference games.
Once again, Conference USA versus the Big East and the BCS conference is a nice juicy dog.
I will grab the dog here as they take Memphis to the wire and just might win the whole thing outright.
Johnnies bag the money.

The "Bet your wife, kids, cats, dogs and other small furry animal play of the century." This kind of opportunity comes about once a century, so when I saw it, I had to pound it hard. Real hard. Harder than Rhianna and Jeezy and we all know they go hard. Its hard.
Northwestern +5
