Brandon Lang Friday ... 25 Dime Tulsa
15 Dime Auburn
15 Dime Bowling Green
5 Dime Wisconsin - Great spot for the Badgers here against an Ohio State team that won't be able to match the Badgers intensity. First and foremost, coaching advantage to Bo Ryan. Secondly, better defensive teams win close matchups and most certainly that falls to Wisconsin. In the first meeting, the Badgers held Ohio State to 2 of 9 from 3, outrebounded Ohio State by 11 and won by 5. Wisky comes in winning 6 of their last 8 SU with the two losses being on the road at Michigan State and Minnesota. This will be a grind them out halfcourt game and that favors the better defensive team. Lastly, facing a team with a winning SU record and you find Ohio State at 1-5 ATS their last 6. Truth be told, if they are supposed to lose, they do. All Wisky today.
5 Dime Mississippi State - I love two in the SEC today and Mississippi State is one of those. More about Auburn this afternoon. This Bulldogs squad is rolling strong winning 3 in a row SU and ATS. However, you dig deeper and you will see that since their 75-70 win at home over South Carolina, their only losses were to Alabama, Tennessee and Auburn, arguably 3 very hot teams in the SEC. What I really look for in this game is much better than 9 of 26 from behind the arc. South Carolina is undisciplined and I just love what Auburn has shown me down the stretch. This is a Bulldogs team that is 4-1 ATS last 5 as a dog and 10-4 ATS their last 14 facing a team with a winning record. You throw in the fact that the Gamecocks are 2-5-1 ATS their last 8 overall and I am rolling with Mississippit State to advance here.
