Arizona Wildcats. BIG 12 BLOCKBUSTER. Game 883. 7:00 PM PST/10:00 PM EST. Statistically, as far as scoring goes, both Arizona and Baylor are evenly matched on the offensive and defensive sides of the court. But the Wildcats are considerably better at both ends of the court on the boards. They enter this matchup with some confidence knowing they took down today's opponent a little more than a month ago at home, 81-70. They were riding a six-game SU/ATS hot streak until their last two outings, both narrow losses on the road at Kansas State and at home at Houston. Meanwhile, Baylor comes off a three-point victory at home against West Virginia. But this team has struggled lately, splitting out their last 10 games SU, and only covering three of those last 10 outings. Yes, they are 12-1 at home this season. But they given way too much credit by oddsmakers. Arizona is currently ranked, and has an opportunity to solidify their situation with a big victory here today. If they're going to make a run for the top-seed in the Big 12, it must start here today. Take the Wildcats. Thank you. |

Duke Blue Devils. ACC ANNIHILATOR. Game 882. 5:00 PM PST/8:00 PM EST. I'm posting this release prior to the new rankings coming out. As of last week, the Duke Blue Devils were ranked third in the nation behind Auburn and Alabama. The top-ranked Tigers took down second-ranked Crimson Tide on Saturday. The Blue Devils certainly have an opportunity to slide at least into the second position. Either way, Duke remains atop the ACC with a conference record of 14-1. They have six games remaining in their regular season schedule. Only their last two opponents currently possess winning records in conference play; Wake Forest and North Carolina. They have a real opportunity to finish the regular season as the No. 1 seed in the Atlantic Coast Conference. They have had their way with today's opponent, taking the last two matchups, and six of the last nine overall straight up. They have also covered the last two meetings with the Virginia Cavaliers. The Cavaliers are just 6-8 in conference play, and have won their last three outings, both SU and ATS. But this is a team that struggles badly on the offensive side of the court. They average just 64.6 points per game. Meanwhile the Blue Devils explosive offense accounts for over 81.0 points per game. They also rank basically in the top-25 in just about every major offensive category, and will totally dominate on the boards in this matchup. Defensively, believe it or not Duke allows 4.1 less points per game than Virginia's famous defense. One more item folks, the Blue Devils have only lost three games this season. But just over recent contests, they have won by 36, 21, 29, 17, 10, seven, 25, 35, etc. I see them blowing this game up. Take the Blue Devils. Thank you. |

Texas A&M AGGIES. ODDSMAKERS MISTAKE. Game 619. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. Sports fans, for the life of me, I cannot understand why the oddsmakers have made Mississippi State better than a basket favorite here. Texas A&M is ranked seventh in the nation, and sits tied for third place in the SEC. Mississippi State ranks 21st nationally, and is at the middle of the pack in the conference, possessing a 6-6 record. The Aggies have had the better of the Bulldogs, taking four of the last six, both straight up and against the spread. They also enter this matchup red-hot, winning five in a row, and seven of the last eight SU, covering their last three contests. Their opponent is struggling, dropping six of their last 10 SU, and eight of their last 10 against the number. This does include five consecutive no covers at the Humphrey Coliseum. I understand they are at home. But they are just 8-4 on their own court this season SU. Now Texas A&M does have a very difficult schedule remaining: in a few days they play Tennessee at home, followed by Vanderbilt, then take it on the road to play Florida, before returning home to face Auburn, then finishing the regular season on the road at LSU. They play some very good conference opponents. That's why I feel they must come in here with their foot on the gas. This is a victory they can get, and will get because they need it. They're back court is certainly superior with Taylor and Phelps, who combine for 29.5 PPG and 8.0 RPG. They also have a very strong front court that will compete down low. Their defense ranks 30th in the nation, yielding just 65.4 points per game. And they are far superior at both end of the court on the boards. I feel they can win this game outright. But I'll take the points with the Aggies. Thank you. |
