03-21-19 | Baylor v. Syracuse -1.5 | Top | 78-69 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 42 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME SYRACUSE -1.5 Howard’s absence drops the confidence in the Orange severely because of how it impacts Battle’s responsibilities offensively. He is going to wind up handling the ball more regardless of who replaces Howard in the starting lineup, and that is a concern because of how it affects how he gets others involved in the offense for Syracuse. The spread is small enough where the Orange can still cover and perhaps even comfortably because of their defense — but on the surface, it does look like they will need time for players to figure out their roles without Howard running the point. |

03-20-19 | Raptors +4.5 v. Thunder | Top | 123-114 | Win | 100 | 5 h 18 m | Show |
NBA 100 DIME GAME RAPTORS +4.5 The Raptors are still fighting for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, but playoff positioning isn’t worth risking the long-term health of a player like Lowry. While he isn’t likely to miss much time on the floor, it would make sense for the Raptors to rest him in this game and see how his ankle responds to treatment later in the week. His absence will put the Raptors in a bind on the road against a Thunder team that is trying to keep from slipping all the way to the bottom of the Western Conference playoff rankings. The return of Westbrook will be a huge lift for the struggling Thunder, and I expect him to respond emphatically after being suspended and turning in a seven-point scoring performance against the Warriors. |

03-18-19 | Pacers +4.5 v. Blazers | 98-106 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
NBA 100 DIME GAME PACERS +4.5 After having their three-game win streak snapped, the Portland Trail Blazers will be on a mission for a bounce-back performance on Monday against the Indiana Pacers. A two-point loss to the Denver Nuggets on Saturday followed back-to-back wins over the Oklahoma City Thunder and New York Knicks for the Pacers. The Trail Blazers, on the other hand, fell on the road to the San Antonio Spurs after winning consecutive games against the New Orleans Pelicans, Los Angeles Clippers and Phoenix Suns. The Pacers have the better defense, holding opponents to 103 ppg. This is a revenge game for the Pacers, and CJ is out for the Blazers. |

03-17-19 | Michigan +1.5 v. Michigan State | Top | 60-65 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 41 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME MICHIGAN +1.5 John Beilein has been waiting for this game for a week. His team has lost two straight to Michigan State but before that had won three straight. He will figure out a way to get his tempo and keep Goins and Ward off the boards. Simpson will play better against Winston and the team that had an easy game against Minnesota, will have the edge in this one against Sparty. |

03-17-19 | Yale v. Harvard +4.5 | Top | 97-85 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 7 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME HARVARD +4.5 This one is going to be an entertaining contest between a pair of bitter rivals with the prize being a bid in March Madness. Harvard has won four straight meetings and they have been better with the return of Aiken after he missed the first 13 games of the year. The Bulldogs are playing on their home floor in this contest but they’re going to be facing a veteran team in the Crimson. Tommy Amaker has his team ready to go and Aiken is the big factor here. Look for Harvard to claw their way to a victory here: take the points in this one. |

03-16-19 | Florida State +8 v. Duke | Top | 63-73 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 23 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME FLORIDA ST +8 FSU shot 56.5 percent against Virginia–the top-ranked scoring defense and third-ranked field-goal percentage defense in Division I. This has always been a decent matchup for the ‘Noles and this season appears to be no different. They have the bodies to bang with Williamson and company, plus the Devils are not deep and they were thoroughly exhausted at the end of their semifinal thriller. Duke is 0-3-1 ATS in its last four against the ACC, 1-3-1 ATS in their last five at neutral sites, and 0-7 ATS in its last seven following a win. The Seminoles are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings between the two teams. |

03-16-19 | Wisconsin v. Michigan State -5 | 55-67 | Win | 100 | 1 h 54 m | Show | |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME MICHIGAN ST -5 Happ had 20 points in that first meeting so there’s no way he’s scoring four this time. The one thing that bothers me about Michigan State aside from the injuries to Langford and Ward not playing at 100% yet, is their inability to guard the three-point shot. That probably also concerns Tom Izzo because Wisconsin can control the tempo, get the ball to Happ in the post and he’ll move the ball to the perimeter, where the Badgers have a bunch of good three-point shooters. |

03-15-19 | Oregon -2 v. Arizona State | Top | 79-75 | Win | 100 | 11 h 17 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME OREGON -2 The Sun Devils and Ducks have both played well against the spread, but the Ducks have the edge because they undefeated against the spread in their last six games and they have won four of their last five meetings against the Sun Devils. |

03-15-19 | Iowa +8 v. Michigan | Top | 53-74 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 52 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME IOWA +8 It’s hard not to like Michigan. They are well-coached but Iowa has something special in tournaments. They are 9-0 ATS their last 9 in neutral site games. Michigan’s lack of dynamic offense and Iowa’s strong three-point shooting led by Baer and Wieskamp gives them a shot to win this game outright. Revenge or no revenge, they are going to win this game. |

03-15-19 | West Virginia +10.5 v. Kansas | Top | 74-88 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 43 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME WEST VIRGINIA +10.5 West Virginia pulled off a fantastic upset. This is a night for Mountaineer nation to celebrate, but they will have a challenge against Kansas. Kansas is not the same team like they use to be. Kansas beat W. Virginia by 14 points at home, but this game is in neutral court. W. Virginia took out Texas Tech and Oklahoma in this last 2 games, putting up 79 points against Oklahoma. Kansas took a beating from Oklahoma and Texas Tech. Take the points here. |

03-15-19 | Minnesota +10 v. Purdue | Top | 75-73 | Win | 100 | 7 h 39 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME MINN +10 Purdue is a legit No. 3 and a loss here won’t matter. They should be rusty after having not played in nearly a week. The Gophers have the size to hang with the Boilermakers thanks to Murphy. The Coffey/Edwards matchup should be fantastic but will cancel each other out. The Golden Gophers have more motivation and that will get them through against a team they match up well against. |

03-15-19 | Alabama v. Kentucky -12.5 | 55-73 | Win | 100 | 6 h 2 m | Show | |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME KENTUCKY -12.5 The expectation is Calipari will use Travis off the bench in short spurs and likely wind up near 20 minutes. While everyone will be looking to see how in sync the Wildcats are with Travis in the lineup, the other expectation is that Alabama will run out of gas in the second half given Kentucky’s ability to challenge on the perimeter with its length. Tyler Herro and PJ Washington are a potent offensive combo and have the ability to exploit the Tide’s tired legs. |

03-15-19 | Florida State v. Virginia -9 | Top | 69-59 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 33 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME VIRGINIA -9 Florida will need to clean up its 17 turnovers if it hopes to put up points against the nation’s top-ranked scoring defense on Friday. Guy scored 21 points in the previous game against Florida State, including 18 in the first half, while Braxton Key added a season-high 20. Jerome should bounce back; after all, he averaged 13.5 ppg during the regular season. Virginia is 4-1 ATS in its last five against opponents with winning records, 5-1 ATS in its last six against opponents with winning percentages over .600, and 38-17-1 ATS in its last 56 following a win |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME NEBRASKA +8 Nebraska is hungry, and they have been playing solid ball. Nebraska averages 71 ppg, while Wisconsin averages 69ppg. Both teams play a solid similar defense. Nebraska beat Maryland which is a solid team. I do like Nebraska for the possible upset. |

03-14-19 | Texas v. Kansas -2.5 | Top | 57-65 | Win | 100 | 9 h 53 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME KANSAS -2.5 Kansas has really had their issues this season without Azubuike and Vick, not to mention Silvio de Sousa, who was declared ineligible for all of this season and the 2019-20 campaign. The Jayhawks are trying to get by with secondary options. Lawson is a force in the low block and that is going to be a massive undertaking for Texas, especially Osetkowski, to handle. The Jayhawks have been here before and they should have a fair amount of crowd support with the Sprint Center being within relative shouting distance of Lawrence. Texas hasn’t proven that they are capable of playing a full 40 minutes and that’s their undoing here. Kansas moves on and Texas is left wondering if their record is worth an at-large bid in March Madness. |

03-13-19 | Warriors v. Rockets -3.5 | Top | 106-104 | Loss | -109 | 4 h 16 m | Show |
NBA 100 DIME GAME ROCKETS -3.5 Rockets have won all three previous meetings against the Warriors this season, winning the only home game by 107-86 score. Rockets have a 24-9 home record, while the Warriors are 21-11 on the road. Warriors have the best offense in the league with 118.2 ppg to Rockets’ 113, while Rockets are better defensively, allowing 110.2 ppg to Warriors’ 112.3. Warriors have better percentages both in field goals (48.8% to 44.6%) and in 3-pointers (37.8% to 34.9%). They are also better in dimes made (29.2 to 21) and in boards grabbed (46.2 to 41.7), while Rockets are only better in turnovers committed (13 to 13.7). Rockets have been as hot as it gets and Vegas odds give them a -3.5 spread and expect them to beat the odds for the home victory. |

03-13-19 | Northwestern v. Illinois -1.5 | Top | 69-74 | Win | 100 | 21 h 43 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME ILLINOIS -1.5 Illinois has covered eight straight in this series. That’s pretty incredible for a conference and state rivalry. This Illinois team is a player or two away from competing to be in the elite of this conference next season. They really struggled their last two games but they will get back in action against a team that has one win in their last 11. The Wildcats just don’t have the explosiveness on offense to compete. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 75 DIME GAME STANFORD -1 The Bruins have struggled against the spread, losing seven of their last 10 games and their last five neutral site games.

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME NEBRASKA +1 The home team has dominated this series as of late, covering the spread in four consecutive matchups. Iowa has stumbled down the stretch of the Big 10 Conference season and while Nebraska has struggled all year long, senior day tends to bring out some magic for losing teams. Expect big games from James Palmer and Glynn Watson in their final regular season home game and take Nebraska to cover the number in this spot on Sunday afternoon. |

03-09-19 | Oregon v. Washington -4.5 | Top | 55-47 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 22 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME WASHINGTON -4.5 The Washington Huskies enter their regular-season finale targeting their third straight win. The Huskies have already won the regular season Pac-12 title, and they have locked up a #1 seed in the conference tournament. They improved to 15-2 in conference play in an 81-76 overtime home win over Oregon State in their latest contest. The Huskies posted a sharp 54% clip from the field while limiting Oregon State to 46% shooting. David Crisp led the way offensively with 22 points on a 7 for 9 shooting performance. The senior guard has shot above 60% in two out of his last three games, and he stands second in team scoring with 12.9 PPG. Huskies’ top scorer Jaylen Nowell is also playing well. The sophomore guard scored 18 points in Wednesday’s win, and he is carrying an average of 16.3 PPG on 50% shooting, paired with 5.5 RPG. Oregon is a tough school, but they are not strong on the road. They have lost a lot of games, and I have Washington by 7 points or more. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME MEMPHIS -8 Memphis has gone 14-2 at home this season while Tulsa is only 3-7 on the road. The Tigers are going to be amped up for senior night and they are an extremely dangerous offensive team. Tulsa has the edge on the defensive end of the floor but the question remains whether they have the weaponry to hang with the explosive Tigers’ offense. Memphis is looking to avenge their loss in the first meeting between the teams this season. The Tigers ride the shooting of Martin and Davenport to pick up the home win in this contest. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME WICHITA ST -9.5 Tulane has been awful with 19 straight defeats as their last victory came back on December 17. The Green Wave is at home here, but they are just 3-11 on the year in those contests. Wichita State has struggled on the road but they do have the momentum from three straight wins in their pocket coming into this contest. The Shockers are the better team on both ends of the floor and that is important in this contest. Wichita State makes it four straight victories as they come up with the win on the road here to finish the regular season on a high note. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME MICHIGAN +3.5 This qualifies as a revenge game for the Wolverines, who lost at home to the Spartans earlier this year. Michigan has covered the number in four of their last five trips to MSU and the road team has covered the number seven of the last nine meetings overall in this series. Look for Michigan to continue that trend with another cover on the road on Saturday night. |

03-09-19 | Duke v. North Carolina -4 | 70-79 | Win | 100 | 5 h 13 m | Show | |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME NC -4 Duke won’t last long in the NCAA tournament without Williamson on the floor. Their offense is too one-dimensional with them opting to put the ball in Barrett’s hands and stand around waiting on him to make a play. It almost seems rudimentary to say this with a legendary coach like Mike Krzyzewski at the helm, but the Blue Devils need to get back in their playbook and setup their offense. It’s hard trusting them on the road against a team like North Carolina after they almost got knocked off by Wake Forest at home. They won’t have to deal with the shock of not having Williamson in the rematch against the Tar Heels. They know he’s not coming back for this game, and they’ll be forced to try to slow down one of the best offenses in the country without their best defender. Williamson masks so many problems for the Blue Devils, and his absence has only magnified those issues. This isn’t even close to the same Duke team we saw before Williamson went down, and North Carolina will once again prey on the wounded Blue Devils like sharks in water. Give me the Tar Heels in this game. |

03-09-19 | USC v. Colorado -7 | Top | 67-78 | Win | 100 | 4 h 1 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME COLORADO -7 Colorado has won eight of 12 meetings against USC since joining the Pac-12 in 2011. Included in that number is the Buffaloes’ 69-65 road win on Feb. 9, when Wright scored 20 points and Colorado shot 49.1 percent and finished with a 38 to 29 rebound advantage. The Buffaloes are tops in the Pac-12 with a 5.5 average rebound margin, while USC ranks 10th with a minus-1.7 margin. USC is 2-6 ATS in its last eight against the Pac-12, 5-11 ATS in its last 16 against opponents with winning percentages over .600, and 1-8 ATS in its last nine on the road against opponents with winning home records. The Buffaloes are 7-2 ATS in their last nine against the Pac-12 and 5-1 ATS in their last six following a win. |

03-08-19 | Northern Iowa +3 v. Southern Illinois | 61-58 | Win | 100 | 4 h 47 m | Show | |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME NORTHERN IOWA +3 The Panthers have an alright defense, but very little offense. They used to have elite three-point shooters, but now they’re average at best from beyond the arc. Their offense really needs more dominant scorers who can carry the load, and they have just one player averaging double-digit scoring. Their offense ranks 219th nationally on Kenpom, which isn’t going to cut it here. Another reason I’m not bullish on the Panthers’ chances is the experience gap. Northern Iowa’s best player, the only one averaging more than ten points per game, is a freshman. A.J. Green is a good player, but he’s never played in a game like this before. Experience matters a ton in these conference tournament games, and the Panthers don’t have much of it. They’re a relatively young team going up against one of the most experienced teams in college basketball that is made up almost entirely of seniors. It’s a huge gap, and it will prove costly here. They also don’t have any momentum as they enter this one off two straight losses, including a blowout loss to a really bad Indiana State team. Northern Iowa for the upset |

COLLEGE HOOPS 75 DIME GAME WISCONSIN -6.5 Iowa's coach is still serving his suspension, and the team is relying on the assistant coach. Rutgers just gave Iowa a beating in the last game on the road, which was embarrassing. The Badgers have played well against the spread, winning five of their last seven games against teams with winning records and 10 of their last 14 home games against teams with winning road records.

UT second-leading scorer Admiral Schofield (16.4 ppg, 6.4 rpg) was held below 10 points for only the third time this season versus the Wildcats, finishing with seven on 3-of-13 shooting (0-for-5 from three-point range). Mississippi State is 12-4 ATS in its last 16 on the road against opponents with winning home records and 11-5 ATS in its last 16 on the road against opponents with home winning percentages over .600. The Volunteers are 1-4 ATS in their last five against opponents with winning percentages over .600.

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME FLORIDA ST -4 I like the Seminoles in this one. The Hokies are off a huge win of the Blue Devils, but I see a bit a letdown coming in this one and that is not good for them as they are facing a Florida State team that is 14-1 at home and on a roll. The Noles have won 10 of their last 11 games overall and they have averaged 79.5 ppg at home, while the Hokies have averaged just 63.6 ppg on the road.

NBA 100 DIME GAME NETS -5 Both teams are struggling right now but there is a distinct difference between the teams in the standings. The Mavericks are on the outside looking in at the playoff picture as they stand 13th in the West. On the flip side, the Nets are sixth in the East despite losing 10 of their last 15 contests. Brooklyn is at home in this one and that’s to the detriment of the Mavericks, who are just 6-24 on the road this season. Dallas’s disappointing performance against the Grizzlies leaves little reason to have faith in them here: look for the Nets to get back to the .500 mark with a win here. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME GEORGIA TECH -1 This is a revenge game for Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech gave BC a run for the money in the last matchup last year. Georgia Tech Defense is pretty tough, they are able to hold opponents to just 65 points per game. BC is not a good road team, and they panic a lot on the court. I like Georgia Tech to pull the upset. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME ARIZONA +5 I feel that the Wildcats can keep this one close. the Ducks are not a good offensive team and while their defense is solid, it will not produce the same results it had against the Sun Devils. The Wildcats have the better shot at the NCAA Tournament and they come in with momentum, having won their last three games in a row. I will ride with the momentum of the Wildcats in this one. |

03-02-19 | Pelicans v. Nuggets -12.5 | Top | 120-112 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 21 m | Show |
NBA 100 DIME GAME NUGGETS -12.5 The Pelicans are trying to make the best out of a clearly dysfunctional situation right now, which puts them in a vulnerable position going on the road against the No. 2-ranked team in the Western Conference. Davis is being given playing time, but he is also being used sparingly by the Pelicans as a precaution for a future trade. The Pelicans are no longer a team that’s all-in for playoff contention. They’re basically a team that’s trying to make it through the rest of the season quickly and with the least amount of drama possible. As for the Nuggets, they have proven to be more than a flash in the pan team. They’ll be motivated for a bounce-back win after losing to the Jazz on Thursday. It’s hard to envision the Nuggets dropping back-to-back games at the Pepsi Center when they’ve only lost five games at home all season. Davis won’t be available to help out down the stretch, as the Nuggets run up the score on a Pelicans team that has the fifth-worst scoring defense in the league. Guarding Jokic is a full-time job, and if Davis isn’t all-in, the Pelicans won’t win this game. Take the Nuggets in this one. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME KENTUCKY +3 I am taking Kentucky in this contest. Tennessee hasn’t been nearly as sharp recently, recording a 2-2 record in their last four games, and they barely managed a 73-71 win against Ole Miss on Wednesday. The Vols have cooled down offensively, averaging 70 points in their last four games which included only 69 points against Kentucky a few weeks ago. Furthermore, Kentucky continues to excel in both ends of the court, and they have won four consecutive games. The Wildcats defense is very reliable, and they have limited their opponents to an average of 61.5 points in their current four game winning streak. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME OLE MISS +2.5 While this is not a must-win game for the Rebels, it is a game they need in this fight for fourth because Kentucky is not going to do them any favors coming to Oxford in a three-way battle for first itself. Ole Miss did everything right but Tyree hitting that free throw, so it is clear Davis’ team can play with anyone in the country. On the other side, Arkansas may get some inspiration for honoring its 1994 championship team, but the Razorbacks are learning the fine lines between winning and losing — something that will happen again in this game as Ole Miss escapes with a road victory. |

NBA 100 DIME GAME BLAZERS +5 This one is going to be a heavyweight tilt between a pair of teams that have momentum. The Trail Blazers have picked up wins over Golden State at home, then dispatched Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Cleveland and Boston on the road. That four-game run on the road is impressive as they were 10-15 on the road before that stretch. Toronto is 26-6 at home but we did see them lose to Orlando Sunday. Portland has the momentum and their two-headed monster of Nurkic and Kanter in the low block will make it tough for Toronto on the glass. Look for Portland’s depth in the rotation to give them the edge in this contest. |

NBA 100 DIME GAME NETS -3 Charlotte is only holding a playoff spot thanks to the weak Eastern Conference as a whole and the Southeast Division in particular. The Hornets have their work cut out for them as they continue to struggle closing out games. Brooklyn is still in the playoff picture and they have taken two of three this season against Charlotte, including the win on the road six days ago. The Nets are at home and we’ve seen the Hornets struggle to an 8-21 road mark this season. Give the edge to Brooklyn in this one. |

The Rams are on the road here, where they are 3-7 on the season, which is going to make it a tough challenge. Dayton has three straight wins and they are tied for second in the Atlantic 10 coming into this contest. The Flyers, even with a rather short rotation, has had success this year and they are 12-3 at home. You have to give the edge the Dayton in this contest as they maintain at least a share of second in the Atlantic 10. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME HARVARD -5 The Crimson responded well to Amaker calling them out for selfish play after a 67-61 home loss to Cornell that preceded their four-game road swing and totaled 31 assists in the last two games. Aiken has averaged 21.8 points in 10 games since recovering from a knee injury, and he gives them a swagger that Harvard will need to win the Ivy League tournament. This is the type of Ivy League game where star scoring power matters, and where Penn will again miss Ryan Betley, who suffered a season-ending knee injury five minutes into the first game. The Quakers have been a team struggling to get over the hump, and with Harvard clicking offensively and at home, the Crimson are the pick. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME KANSAS ST +5 This technically qualifies as a revenge game for Kansas, which lost on the road vs. the Wildcats 74-67 on Feb. 5. However, Kansas comes into this game banged up and they just don’t have the depth or experience on the wings to survive without Vick in the lineup. A sweep of perennial Big 12-favorite Kansas would likely help the Wildcats usurp them in the national rankings, which would also boost their NCAA Tournament resume as well. Take Kansas State to come out and cover the spread in Allen Fieldhouse on Monday night. |

NBA 100 DIME GAME LAKERS -5 LeBron is clearly trying to get the young Lakers to focus on making the postseason and you have to think that they are going to respond with a solid performance after James’ most recent comments. The Lakers are fresh off of an ugly blowout loss to the Pelicans, so this is a chance to buy low here. The Grizzlies have struggled to remain competitive without Marc Gasol and their last three losses came versus the Bulls, Clippers and Cavs. Take LeBron and the Lakers to cover the number on the road in this spot on Monday night. |

Joel Embiid leads the way for the 76ers with 27.3 points and 13.5 rebounds per game. He has missed the last two games with a knee injury and has been ruled out for this game as well. The 76ers have the better talent, and they are the play here. |

NBA 100 DIME GAME HEAT -8.5 Miami has struggled out of the All-Star break with back to back losses. The Heat has work to do if they want to climb back into a playoff spot at this point and that starts with beating teams below you in the standings. There is no better opportunity to get a win than facing a Phoenix team that has lost 17 straight games. The Suns are struggling and they suffered back to back road defeats to Cleveland and Atlanta. Phoenix is just 4-28 on the road this season: while the Heat stands six games under .500 at home, they’re still better than the Suns. Look for Miami to get a win here. |

However, Michigan State will have its hands full in this spot. Zavier Simpson is one of the best on-ball defenders in the country and he will be matched up with Spartans star point guard Cassius Winston, which could slow down Michigan’s offensive attack. Roll with the Wolverines to cover the spread at home in this Big 10 battle at the Crisler Center on Sunday afternoon. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME Texas Tech -5 Kansas got the upper hand at Allen Fieldhouse earlier this month but the Jayhawks were in better shape at that point in time. With Vick missing in action, it takes a proven perimeter threat out of the mix for the Jayhawks. Bill Self offered no update for a timetable for Vick’s return, so that’s something to take into consideration. Texas Tech has won four straight since that point and they are 14-1 at home on the year while Kansas is just 2-6 on the road this year. The Red Raiders get the upper hand in this one to avenge their loss earlier this month. |

02-23-19 | Duke v. Syracuse +5 | Top | 75-65 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 30 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME SYRACUSE +5 For a sense of perspective when comparing the betting lines for the two games, consider Duke was a 17.5-point favorite in Durham with Williamson for the first meeting. If Duke was playing any other opponent, it would be easy to consider the Blue Devils’ resiliency and still-formidable offense loaded with quality scorers who can rally together to win one without their most influential and best player. The problem, however, is the opponent. Syracuse is the worst possible opponent to play at this possible time for Duke. The Orange made the Blue Devils miserable on the perimeter in the first meeting. Yes, a lot of that can be chalked up to Reddish missing the game and Jones missing all but six minutes of it. But now consider Williamson’s absence as it pertains to Duke’s spacing on offense and how far Syracuse can extend its zone on defense. Already long, the Orange will be able to push out on the wings of the 3-point line, which is one of the universal places to shoot 3s against a zone. Additionally, they have a solid rim protector in Chukwu should Duke choose to attack the basket. The Blue Devils finished with 43 treys without Jones and Reddish; without Williamson to create an inside-out game, that number may happen again. And Duke is not a good enough team to win shooting that many treys. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME MISSOURI ST -6.5 Indiana State came up with a win in their last game but that was on their home floor. The Sycamores are next to last in the Missouri Valley Conference standings and this is going to be a tough matchup. Missouri State struggled to put points on the board in their loss to Northern Iowa and they need to pick up some momentum heading into the conference tournament. That loss knocked the Bears out of a share of the top spot in the standings. Missouri State makes up for that defeat by taking down the Sycamores in this one. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME IOWA -7 Though the Hoosiers played better in their last game, one gets the sense that late bucket by Purdue’s Matt Haarms may have been the knockout blow to their NCAA Tournament hopes. Playing an up-tempo team like Iowa is dangerous because the Hawkeyes have the firepower to run teams out of the gym. Iowa is eager to bounce back from a tough loss itself and is playing at a level Indiana cannot equal at this moment. |

NBA 100 DIME GAME NUGGETS -4 Dallas stumbled into the All-Star break and they’re facing one of the elite teams in the league here. Denver got a shot in the arm with the return of Thomas, who made his debut against the Kings. Getting Millsap back was a boost and the team hopes to have Harris back for this one as well. The Nuggets have a deep rotation and they are capable of hanging with any team in the league. Dallas is good at home but they don’t have the talent to keep up with Denver. Give the points and take the Nuggets in this one. |

02-22-19 | Wolves -5 v. Knicks | Top | 115-104 | Win | 100 | 6 h 19 m | Show |
NBA 100 DIME GAME WOLVES -5 It’s tough seeing an organization with so much history as the Knicks continue to struggle every season. Basketball enthusiasts aren’t getting pleasure out of watching any NBA team lose 18 consecutive games. So it was a bit of a relief to see the Knicks finally get a win and put that painfully long losing streak in the rearview. However, it won’t remain there for long. The Timberwolves have shown more fight than expected after trading away Jimmy Butler this season, and they are coming off a pair of quality wins over the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers. Karl-Anthony Towns is also on a hot streak right now, netting 24-plus points in his last six consecutive games. He has also registered a double-double in nine of his last 12 outings. The daunting task of slowing down Jeff Teague, Derrick Rose and Andrew Wiggins will be too big of a challenge for the Knicks’ backcourt. They are finally putting the right pieces together, but they are still a long ways off from being a good basketball team. I’ll take the Timberwolves in this game. |

02-21-19 | Rockets v. Lakers +2.5 | Top | 106-111 | Win | 100 | 31 h 40 m | Show |
NBA 100 DIME GAME LAKERS +2.5 The final stretch of the season will be critical for the Lakers if they have any shot of climbing back into the playoff picture. There is a real possibility that even a James-led team could be left out in the cold this year in the deep and talented Western Conference. These aren’t the good, old days when he could simply drag a bad team to playoff contention. That isn’t to say his talent is diminishing. He is still considered the best basketball player on the planet for good reason, but if the Lakers are going to make a late run in the season, he’s going to need help from some of the other young stars on the roster like Ingram, Kuzma, Josh Hart and Lonzo Ball. The return of Ball and Hart, who have both been sidelined with injuries, will be a huge boost for the Lakers on Thursday against the Rockets. That will ultimately aid in their offensive firepower, which the team will desperately need facing reigning MVP James Harden. There is simply too much on the line for the Lakers at this point to expect James and company to drop a third consecutive loss. This is their first game back from the All-Star break at home, and for the first time in a while, they’ll have all of their pieces available. Another monstrous scoring effort by Harden will lead to a thrilling game, but it will be no match for the must-win hunger from the Lakers. Give me Los Angeles in this game. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME OREGON +2.5 The fact the Ducks are still in the running for a top four-finish is impressive considering they lost their best player–7’2” freshman center and likely lottery pick Bol Bol–to a left-foot injury before conference play even started. Bol was leading the team in scoring (21.0 ppg), rebounding (9.6 rpg), and blocks (2.7 bpg) while also shooting an amazing 52 percent from three-point range. Louis King, a 6’9” freshman forward, has helped pick up some of the slack to the tune of averaging 16.0 ppg in Pac-12 action–tops for any freshman in the conference. Junior point guard Payton Pritchard is averaging 11.8 ppg and 4.4 apg, while White is chipping in 10.5 ppg and 3.8 rpg. Oregon is 25-4 after Feb. 14 in Pac-12 play over the last five seasons. Oregon gave USC a beaten last month with no problem. Great Play |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME GEORGIA TECH Pittsburgh might be sitting at the bottom of the ACC conference, but they don’t have to finish their season in that spot. There are at least four other teams, including Georgia Tech, that are one game out from being in their situation. The Yellow Jackets don’t want to be the team looking up at the rest of the conference after dropping a game to Pittsburgh, especially when the game is on their home court. Fortunately for the Yellow Jackets, the Panthers have lost 21 consecutive games on the road. That spells doom for them on Wednesday playing away from their home building against a team that is equally as determined to end a long losing streak. Georgia Tech is also a dangerous team on the defensive end of the floor. They can make up for their lackluster offense with their suffocating defense, which ranks 15th in the country in efficiency. That stout defense coupled with playing at home will ultimately lead to Pittsburgh’s undoing for their 10th consecutive conference outing. Take the Yellow Jackets in this game. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME MISS ST -6 I am siding with Mississippi State in this contest. Mississippi State has fared well against teams below them in the standings. They have notched two straight double-digit wins against Alabama and Arkansas in their last two games, and they are averaging a solid 78.8 points in their last five games. Furthermore, Georgia is having trouble defensively, and they have lost six consecutive games, plus five of those were also ATS losses. Georgia has surrendered at least 80 points in four out of their last five games, and Mississippi State should have no problem scoring in this one. |

Both teams are excellent on the glass and they are solid on the defensive end of the floor. Tennessee has experience as they brought back the nucleus of last season’s team, which owned a share of the SEC regular season crown. Calipari had to start over with a bunch of freshmen: Washington and Travis can’t make up for the inexperience of the rest of the rotation. Tennessee gets the upper hand in this one to overcome a very hostile environment. |

02-14-19 | Houston -9 v. Connecticut | Top | 71-63 | Loss | -108 | 2 h 51 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME HOUSTON -9 Adams’ MCL injury is expected to keep him sidelined four weeks at a minimum, which means he’ll be watching from the bench when his team faces one of the best teams in the country. Not that his presence in this particular matchup would have made much of a difference anyway. The Cougars rank sixth in the country in defensive efficiency and fifth in points allowed. It’s going to be a tremendous uphill climb for the Huskies after shooting 40.3 percent against a Memphis team that ranks among the worst defenses in the country. This game is a total mismatch on paper, especially without Adams on the floor. Davis had 24-plus point performances in back-to-back games before dropping 16 points in Houston’s marquee game with Cincinnati. He’ll be the difference on Thursday night against a UConn defense that hasn’t shown any consistency all season. Houston wins this game handily and stays one game ahead of Cincinnati at the top of the American Athletic Conference standings. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME XAVIER +1.5 Creighton is not that good this year. Xavier has better defense, holding opponents to 72 ppg. I like Xavier to pull the victory here. |

NBA 100 DIME GAME CELTICS +7.5 The 76ers are on a 3 day run, and today they face a tough defense. The Celtics can hold opponents to 106 points, while the 76ers hold opponents to 112 ppg. Take the Celtics here. |

02-11-19 | Kansas +2.5 v. TCU | Top | 82-77 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME KANSAS +2.5 Kansas beat TCU earlier this year, putting up some major points in the last game. TCU is a great team, but they struggled on defense. Kansas is extremely fast, and they are in a different style of play. The Bookmakers are holding the line since TCU is 11-1 at home. Kansas is a champions style of team. I like them for the upset. |

02-11-19 | Virginia v. North Carolina +1 | Top | 69-61 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 54 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME North Carolina +1 North Carolina has three traits in common with Duke that translate to success against Virginia. The first is size in the backcourt, which the Tar Heels have in the 6-foot-5 White and 6-9 Johnson. This puts pressure on Virginia’s pack-line defense because its smaller guards can be backed down into the paint before opponents kick the ball out to the perimeter for less-contested 3-point looks. The second is quality perimeter shooting. White and Johnson have combined for 110 3-pointers, and both Maye and Kenny Williams are not bashful about taking treys either. The third is scoring in transition, and with the Tar Heels, there is their secondary transition in which they are constantly able to find quality looks early in the shot clock. North Carolina lost twice to Virginia last season but played far better in its 71-63 ACC Tournament loss than it did in the 61-49 road loss. This Tar Heels team, though, is far more dynamic offensively. They will not score 90 points in this game, but they should score enough to win. This line has flipped to the Tar Heels giving a point, so again, the hope is you got in early on this one to ride with Rameses and North Carolina. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME CREIGHTON +4 The Pirates have struggled against the spread, losing their last six home games and four of their last five games. The Bluejays have played well against the spread, winning four of their last five games and four of their last five games against Big East opponents |

02-09-19 | Elon +17 v. Northeastern | Top | 60-72 | Win | 100 | 3 h 43 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME ELON +17 The Phoenix put up an average of 69.2 points per game so far this season. Elon collects 33.5 rebounds per contest while dishing out 13.9 assists per game. The Phoenix struggles on the defensive end of the floor as they are 292nd in scoring defense as they allow 76.4 points per contest. The Huskies average 76 points per game, and the defense is light, surrendering 71 points per game. I will take the 17 points here. |

02-08-19 | Bucks v. Mavs +8 | Top | 122-107 | Loss | -105 | 18 h 37 m | Show |
NBA 100 DIME GAME MAVS +8 The bookmakers have this game all wrong. The MAVS can put 108 points on the board today. The Bucks Defense is the issue since it can hold opponents to just 109 ppg. This line is over priced, and I like this game within 4 points. |

02-06-19 | Maryland +2.5 v. Nebraska | Top | 60-45 | Win | 100 | 2 h 51 m | Show |
NBA 100 DIME GAME MARYLAND +2.5 Here’s a team that needs a win against a squad that is spiralling towards the bottom. Is it football season yet? Nebraska is well-coached but you can’t make up for the loss of Copeland, who was a former Georgetown product. Fernando had 18 points and 17 rebounds in that first game with Copeland playing 31 minutes. He and his fellow Terps will dominate the boards and the paint in this game. Take the ranked team on the road to cover with ease. |
