03-29-21 | Oregon State v. Houston UNDER 129 | Top | 61-67 | Win | 100 | 11 h 35 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston/Oregon State UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). Oregon State is on fire, especially on the defensive end. The Beavers enter off an impressive 65-58 defeat of Loyola Chicago in their last game. Houston clobbered Syracuse 62-46. The reason these two teams are where they are right now? Incredible defensive play, that never gives up and presses from start to finish. Don't expect anything to change here. This number is definitely much too high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |

03-27-21 | Villanova v. Baylor OVER 140.5 | 51-62 | Loss | -108 | 77 h 10 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Baylor/Villanova OVER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Yes, both of these teams have good defenses, but each of their offenses is so much better. The Wildcats are averaging 75 PPG, while Baylor averages just over 83.0. The Bears are in the top 20 in field goal percentage and they are in fact the No. 1 team in the nation in three-point shooting (Villanova is in the Top 100 in both categories.) I'm expecting a fast-paced and ultimately high-scoring shootout here; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
03-27-21 | Oregon State v. Loyola-Chicago UNDER 126 | 65-58 | Win | 100 | 75 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oregon State/Loyola Chicago UNDER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Loyola Chicago likes to use the clock while its on offense, as it plays a half-court style. In fact, the Ramblers play at a bottom 15 overall pace of play in the country. Now combine that with their No. 1 defensive efficiency rating, and there's no doubt inmy mind that we're going to see another tight, low-scoring game here vs. the Beavers. Oregon State has been phenomenal to get to this point and while its defense has been its weak point overall this season, it's been fantastic during its NCAA Tournament run, especially guarding the perimeter. Look for this contest to stay well under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
03-22-21 | Maryland v. Alabama OVER 138 | 77-96 | Win | 100 | 12 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Bama/Maryland OVER (8*). Two red hot teams collide and I expect some offensive fireworks fo rsure. The Terrapins average 68.6 PPG and they're facing a defense which concedes 69.3 PPG. The Tide average 79.2 PPG and even though the Terps are giving up just 64.6 PPG, they're going to be forced to play at a very high pace here. This one has over written all over it! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
03-21-21 | Oregon State v. Oklahoma State OVER 140 | 80-70 | Win | 100 | 13 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: OKS/Oregon State OVER (8*). Both teams advanced out of the first round because of tough defensive play, but I think this line is now a little too low, and that the sharp wager is on the over. Oregon State has seen the total go over in eight of its last 11 after allowing 57 or less points in a SU/ATS victory in its last outing as well. Both of these teams have advanced farther than expected and I look for each to push the pace from start to finish; this number is low! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
03-21-21 | North Texas v. Villanova UNDER 127 | 61-84 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UNT/Nova UNDER (8*). Both teams have excelled on the defensive end this season and we can expect each to lean on its strength here as well. Both of these teams also play at a very deliberate pace on the offensive side. UNT has seen the total dip under in eight of its last 11 neutral site affairs as well; this number is a tad high! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
03-19-21 | Syracuse v. San Diego State OVER 138.5 | 78-62 | Win | 100 | 29 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cuse/SDSU OVER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Two hungry and hopeful teams collide in the opening round round of the NCAA Tournament. The Orange lost 72-69 to the Hokies in the ACC Tournament while the Aztecs advanced here by beating Utah State in the Mountain West Conference Tournament Championship contest. Syracuse averages 75.8 PPG, while allowing 70.7. The Aztecs won't be rolling over after 14 straight victories though. SDSU averages 74.1 PPG, while allowing 60.6. Two really good defenses here, but also underrated offensively. Look for this to be a little more wide open than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
03-18-21 | UCLA v. Michigan State UNDER 135 | Top | 86-80 | Loss | -109 | 14 h 26 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UCLA/MSU UNDER (10* TOTAL BEST OF BEST). UCLA enters off an 83-79 OT loss to Oregon State in the conference tournament. The Bruins were 17-9 overall, and they come in desperate to break a four-game slide and prolong their run in The Big Dance. The Bruins average 72.8 PPG, while allowing only 68.5. Michigan State got crushed by Maryland in the first round of the Big Ten tournament by a score of 68-57. MSU averages 69 PPG, while conceding 70.6. When MSU pulled off a couple big upsets this year, it was because of its tough defensive play. UCLA is a deliberate offense and I think all of these factors will add up to an under once the final whistle blows! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
03-12-21 | Ohio State v. Purdue OVER 142.5 | Top | 87-78 | Win | 100 | 5 h 26 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Purdue/OSU OVER (10*). Two of the best in the conference/nation go head-to-head here and I'm expecting some offensive fireworks. Both teams come in off victories and each has performed well in this spot, as Ohio State has seen the total go over in eight of its last 11 after a victory, while Purdue has seen the total fly over in seven of its last ten neutral site games. This number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
03-11-21 | Texas Tech v. Texas OVER 134.5 | 66-67 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: TT/Texas OVER (8* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). These two teams sport similar numbers. The Longhorns play with revenge here. Both teams excel on the defensive end, as TT allows just 63.3 PPG, while Texas concedes only 68.2. However, the Longhorns have seen the total go over in seven of their last ten in trying to revenge an in-season loss vs. an opponent. Finally note that the over is 13-4 in the Longhorns last 17 overall. These two normally defensive-minded clubs are on track to play a faster-paced conference tournament game in my opinion; this number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
03-11-21 | Cal Poly v. Cal-Irvine UNDER 128 | Top | 51-58 | Win | 100 | 12 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UC Irvine/Cal Poly UNDER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Cal Poly is only 4-18, and I have a hard time seeing it mustering much of an offensive attack here vs. the 15-8 UC Irvine Anteaters. The Mustangs actually snapped a nine-game slide with a win over CSU Fullerton in the opener of the tournament. UC Irvine enters on a four-game win skein. The Anteaters enter off a commanding 73-58 win over LBSU on Saturday and I expect a similar smothering defensive peformance here as well. These teams met twice in the regular season and the Anteaters held the Mustangs to just 49 and 44 points respectively. This number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: Coming shortly. |
|||||||
03-08-21 | St. Mary's v. Gonzaga OVER 142.5 | Top | 55-78 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Gonzaga/Saint Mary's OVER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). Gonzaga is 24-0 and I expect it to send a statement here, not only to Saint Mary's, but also to the rest of the conference and the rest of the country. Gonazga just beat Saint Mary's 73-59 in its regular season finale. The Gaels will be forced to match pace here with the Bulldogs. Good thing for Saint Mary's here is that it's line-up is 100% healthy. The Bulldogs are the highest scoring team in the nation, averaging 92.9 PPG and I expect them to hit that mark and go over it tonight. Gonzaga has the fourth highest tempo in the nation and I expect for that to be on full display tonight. This total is a little low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
03-07-21 | Texas Tech v. Baylor UNDER 139 | Top | 73-88 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Texas Tech/Baylor UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Texas Tech is 17-8 after beating Iowa State at home by 27 points in its last outing. Baylor is 20-1 after hammering Oklahoma State at home by 11 in its last outing. Mac McClung and the Red Raidres are catching fire at the exact right time, but clearly Texas Tech will be looking to slow the pace of this one down and get the Bears out of their comfort zone. Texas Tech is ranked 16th in defensive efficiency, while Baylor ranks 25th. Look for this slower-paced game to stay well under the number once the final horn sounds! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
03-04-21 | Michigan State v. Michigan UNDER 140.5 | 50-69 | Win | 100 | 11 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Michigan/MSU UNDER (8*). Michigan is going to have another efficient offensive performance here, but the Wolverines play at a slow pace. MSU plays at an average tempo. The Spartans big upset wins this year have all come when they've played excellent defense and I expect a battle until the end here as well. THis number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
02-27-21 | Baylor v. Kansas UNDER 142.5 | 58-71 | Win | 100 | 12 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Baylor/Kansas UNDER (9* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). Yes, these teams are two of the tops in terms of adjusted offensive rankings with the Bears at fourth, and the Jayhawks at 55th. But after hitting the over in six straight for Baylor and in four of five for Kansas, this number is now absolutely inflated. These two defenses are underrated. Note that Baylor has seen the total go under in eight of its last 11 after seeing the total go over in five or more straight games in a row. This number is indeed a tad bit high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
02-24-21 | Kent State v. Ball State OVER 145 | 71-90 | Win | 100 | 5 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ball State/Kent State OVER (8*). With the regular season finish line in sight, I think Kent State keeps the foot on the gas here. The Golden Flashes are 14-5 overall and 11-4 in league play. Ball State won't be rolling over, despite a 7-11 overall record and having lost two in a row. Danny Pippen and this Kent State offense are primed for a big offensive night here. This one has "shootout" written all over it; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
02-21-21 | Evansville v. Drake OVER 133.5 | 71-85 | Win | 100 | 8 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Drake/Evansville OVER (8*). Evansville is 8-12 and Drake is 21-2. The Aces enter off an 87-73 loss to Indiana State. Overall the Purple Aces average 64.5 PPG, while conceding 68.8. Drake enters off a 77-69 win over Northern Iowa. The Bulldogs average 78.7 PPG, while conceding 63.4. Interesting to note that Evansville has seen the total go over in its last six road games though and I expect that strong trend to continue here. Look for Drake to push the pace and expect this total to fly over sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
02-20-21 | California v. Washington OVER 140 | 51-62 | Loss | -109 | 14 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington/Cal OVER (8*). Cal has dropped its last four road games. In fact, both teams have lost four of their last five. Each struggles with offensive consistency, and each is poor on the defensive end. I expect a wide open game here though, and ultimately I expect that to translate into offensive production on the court. Note that when these teams played in January, the total was set at 133 and they combined to score 162. Both defenses allow over 70 PPG and 14 of Cal's 24 games have gone over the number; this one has "o-v-e-r" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
02-13-21 | Indiana v. Ohio State UNDER 139.5 | 59-78 | Win | 100 | 5 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ohio State/Indiana UNDER (8* TOTAL BLOWOUT). What's going on here? Indiana has one of the best defenses in the country, but it's seen the total soar over in seven of its last ten. Ohio State has also been playing to some higher-scoring games this season, as it enter having seen the total go over in seven of its last ten as well. But the situation points to more of a defensive affair this time around in my opinion. Note that Ohio State has seen the total go under the number in ten of its last 14 after a SU road win in which it allowed 65 or less points in. I expect a hard-fought, lower-scoring under once the final buzzer sounds! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
02-12-21 | Tulane v. UCF UNDER 132 | 49-53 | Win | 100 | 12 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UCF/Tulane UNDER. Tulane is the worst team in the AAC offensively. The Green Wave lack outside scoring to spread anyone out. Tulane though does have a decent defense, which keeps it competitive at times. UCF is effecient on the offensive end, but it plays at a slower pace. This isn't a very high total, but I expect this to be a very tight, low-scoring battle until the end; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
02-10-21 | Rutgers v. Iowa OVER 151.5 | Top | 66-79 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Iowa/Rutgers OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Rutgers has won four straight and it's back in the mix as far as the Big Ten race is concerned. Iowa won't be lacking for motivation here today gentlemen, because it's dropped four of its last five to fall to 13-6 overall. Teams have begun to figure out how to slow down Luka Garza, but I think he'll be a handful here for the Red Storm. The Hawkeyes won this game 77-75 back on January 2nd, and while I'm expecting another hard-fought competitive affair, I think it'll be a little more wide-open and high-scoring in the end. Both teams are decent defensively, but the re-match points to a S-H-O-O-T-O-U-T in my opinion - the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
01-27-21 | Virginia Tech v. Notre Dame OVER 139.5 | 62-51 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Norte Dame/VA Tech OVER (8*). Virginia Tech will be highly motivated here to get back to its winning ways after its three-game win streak was snapped in a lacklustre 78-60 loss to the Orange last weekend. VT is 11-3 overall and 5-2 in ACC action. The Irish come in with momentum, as they've won two in a row after a 73-59 win over Miami last Sunday. Notre Dame though won't be able to take the foot off the gas here, as it's still only 5-8 overall and 2-5 in league play. VT averages 73.3 PPG and it concedes 65.6. Notre Dame is much better offensively than defensively, averaging 71.3 PPG, but allowing 74. With each team pushing the pace, I look for this total to fly over sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
01-23-21 | Connecticut v. Creighton UNDER 139.5 | 66-74 | Loss | -112 | 5 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Creighton/UConn UNDER (8*). I'm expecting a hard-fought, and ultimately lower-scoring game here. UConn is 7-2 and Creighton is 10-4. Uconn averages just 73.1 PPG, but it makes up for it on the other end by conceding just 61.8. Creighton will look to double down here defensively in my estimation after back-to-back losses. Note that it averages 81 PPG, while allowing only 69. Expect these two deep teams' defensive play to be the main story lines in tomorrow's summaries; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
01-22-21 | Louisiana Tech v. UTEP OVER 136 | Top | 74-82 | Win | 100 | 13 h 55 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UTEP/LA Tech OVER (10*). Louisiana Tech is 11-4, averaging 73.8 PPG, and allowing 66.8. UTEP will be desperate here as it looks to break a three-game slide. I always like betting "overs" with motivated teams and both clearly are. The Miners average 72.6 PPG and they allowing 70.3, but note that UTEP has seen the total soar over in eight of its last 12 after three or more SU losses in a row. Considering the situation and these trends, I do indeed feel this number is a tad low; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
01-18-21 | New Mexico v. UNLV UNDER 139 | Top | 46-53 | Win | 100 | 14 h 38 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UNLV/New Mexico UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). New Mexico is just 4-7 overall, while UNLV is 3-6. Neither team has gotten out to the start it had hoped for this year, but I expect that to translate into a scrappy, and ultimately defensive affair here as each desperately tries to secure a victory. UNLV scored the 77-54 win over New Mexico on Saturday, and I expect a similar final combined score here as well. Note that the under is 8-1-1 the last ten road games for New Mexico as well. Considering all of the above situational information, I do indeed feel this total is too high; the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
01-13-21 | Texas Tech v. Texas OVER 133.5 | Top | 79-77 | Win | 100 | 13 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Texas/Texas Tech OVER (10* TOTAL ELITE OF THE ELITE). This has all the makings of a great game. Suffice it to say, I'm expecting a "shootout," not a "chess match." Texas Tech averages 75.54 PPG, while it allows 58. Texas averages 75.64 PPG, while allowing 63.73. I think that the Longhorns though will be out to get the Red Raiders out of their comfort zone, and that means playing at as high a tempo as possible. I look for these talented offenses to explode in the second half; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
01-09-21 | Alabama v. Auburn UNDER 150.5 | 94-90 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Alabama/Auburn UNDER (8* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). Auburn is 0-3 in league play. This is an important game for the home side, who will be risking life and limb today to finally break into the winners cirlce. Alabama won't be rolling over, as it's lost five straight on this floor. The Tide are well balanced with five players averaging double figures. Overall Bama averages 77.6 PPG, while allowing 69.8. Auburn is giving up less than 72 PPG this year, while averaging just 63.5. Over their last ten games against each other they've average 148.7 PPG, so I expect today's contest to also follow suit. This number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
01-06-21 | St. John's v. Xavier UNDER 155 | Top | 61-69 | Win | 100 | 11 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Xavier/St. John's UNDER (10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK). Xavier hasn't played since December 20th, a 94-83 win over Georgetown. It's last two games have been canceled due to COVID issues. St. John's is 4-6 this year and hwile the total has gone over in eight of its ten games this season, I think that trend ends here vs. the Musketeers. The Red Storm come in off an exhausting 97-94 OT win over the Hoyas in their last game, so I expect them to be a bit flat-footed here as well. Expect these two teams to battle tooth and nail and look for this total to ultimately fall under at the end of the night! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
12-29-20 | Texas A&M v. LSU OVER 141.5 | Top | 54-77 | Loss | -113 | 11 h 55 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: A&M/LSU OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). This one has over written all over it in my opinion. LSU ranks sixth offensively in the KenPom with a top 10 effective field goal % in the nation (it also runs at an above average pace.) The Aggies of course like to slow things down and grind out victories with a half-court offense, but LSU's pressure is going to take them out of their comfort zone for sure here. The LSU defense though is poor, ranked 118th in the KenPom. The Tigers though will look to take advantage of an A&M team which is allowing opponents to shoot 34.7 percent from range. This number is low, the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
12-18-20 | Loyola-Chicago v. Richmond OVER 141.5 | Top | 73-75 | Win | 100 | 8 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Loyola Chicago/Richmond OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Richmond is 5-1, it is pretty good offensively by averaging 77 points per game, but the Spiders have to be, as they concede 70.3. Loyola-Chicago won't be intimidated here as it enters at 3-1, averaging 76 PPG and conceding 60.9. These teams both play at a very high-pace and I expect that to translate into offensive production on the court today (note that Richmond has seen the total go over in eight of its last 11 overall, while Loyola Chicago has seen the total go over in ten of its last 11 overall.) Look for these two talented teams to eclipse the number before the final horn blares! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
12-13-20 | St. John's v. Georgetown OVER 151.5 | Top | 94-97 | Win | 100 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Georgetown/St. John's OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). The Red Storm are 5-2 and the Hoyas are 2-3. The Red Storm were just 17-15 last year. These teams split a pair of games last year, each winning on the other's floor. The Red Storm average 80.3 PPG and they allow 75.6. Georgetown averages 71.0 PPG and it allows 68.8. The Hoyas were just 15-17 last year. Georgetown enters off a 76-63 loss to Villanova, but the Hoyas have seen the total go over the number in eight of their last 11 home games after allowing 75 points or more in a SU/ATS loss in their last outing. I look for these two hungry conference rivals to combine for more than enough to push this total over the posted number! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
12-08-20 | North Carolina v. Iowa OVER 155.5 | 80-93 | Win | 100 | 11 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UNC/Iowa OVER (8*). I expect these teams to push the pace from start to finish and I look for this total to fly over sooner, rather than later. Iowa is 3-0 after a comfortable 99-58 win over Western Illinois, while UNC is off a 69-67 loss to No. 14 Texas in the Maui Invitational. UNC lost that one at the buzzer, so it'll be especially motivated here after that setback. Overall the Tar Heels average 72.8 PPG and they allow 60.8, while Iowa averages 99.7 PPG, while conceding 67. With both of these offensively talented teams pushing the pace, this one definitely has "o-v-e-r" written all over it my opinion! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
12-04-20 | Kent State v. Virginia UNDER 127.5 | 64-71 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UVA/Kent UNDER (8* MONEY-MAKER). UVA had National Championship dreams before the season started, but it fell 61-60 to San Francisco in its second game. The Cavs have been one of the best defensive teams in the nation over the last decade and that'll again be the case this season. And off the shocking loss, we can expect them to double down on that end of the court tonight as they look to take out their frustrations on lowly Kent. The Golden Flashes have already had to deal with COVID games, their lone win was a 90-41 victory over Parks Point. This one has the feel of a very tight, and ulimtately low-scoring game; I'm on the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
12-03-20 | Texas-San Antonio v. Oklahoma OVER 151 | 66-105 | Win | 100 | 11 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oklahoma/UTSA OVER (8*). UTSA enters off an 81-64 loss to UTRGV. UTSA though is averaging 80.5 PPG, while allowing 76. Oklahoma will have its hands full here trying to slow down this high-tempo Roadrunners offense. This is the Sooners first game of the year. Several players return from a team which averaged 70.2 PPG, while allowing 67.4. Note that UTSA has seen the total go 7-2-1 to the over in its last ten on the road, while Oklahoma ha sseen the total go over in four of its last five home contests. This number is a tad low; the play is the over! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
12-01-20 | Kentucky v. Kansas OVER 146 | Top | 62-65 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Kentucky/Kansas OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Both teams are loaded with talent. Kentucky has a loaded freshman class that will be playing with a chip on its shoulder here as it tries to respond from a humbling 76-64 loss to Richmond. Kansas has done well this season as it's only loss cam in its opening game of the year to No. 1 Gonzaga. These are two teams which are offensive oriented and which combine to score 164.5 PPG. This one has "over" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
11-30-20 | UMKC v. Kansas State UNDER 130.5 | 58-62 | Win | 100 | 12 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: K-State/UMKC UNDER (8* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). It's the Roos vs. the Wildcats from Bramlage Coliseum on Monday and in my opinion, this one is going to fall well under once it's all said and done. The Roos are 2-1. They average 103 points and allow 67.7. However, their early competition has been all sub-division teams and now it faces its first true test of the year. K-State is desperate to break an 0-2 slide to open the year. The Wildcats have averaged 64 points and allowed 78 over those setbacks. That said, note that they've seen the total go under in eight of their last 11 after back-to-back SU/ATS losses. I'm banking on a "chess match," rather than a run and gun "shootout;" this number is a little high! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
11-27-20 | Belmont v. George Mason UNDER 147 | 77-67 | Win | 100 | 7 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: George Mason/Belmont UNDER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Belmont comes in off a big 95-78 win over Howard, led by 21 points from Jacobi Wood. The Bruins face a much better team this time around though in George Mason, which just narrowly got by Queens NC 66-65. Belmont will look to clean up its defensive play after allowing 78 points to Howard. I think these offenses stall in the second half; this number is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: 67-64 Belmont. |

03-09-20 | St. Mary's v. BYU OVER 145.5 | Top | 51-50 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: BYU/Saint Mary's OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). I think this total is a little low. Saint Mary's is 24-7 and BYU is 24-7. Each team was victorious against the other on its home floor. The Cougars won 81-79, while the Gaels prevailed 87-84. Both of those contests would have finished well above tonight's posted total and I aboslutely expect that to happen. The Cougars score 118.1 points per 100 possessions, while the Gaels average 114.9 points per 100 possessions. Both teams are super effecient from the floor and I expect this to once again translate into offensive production. This number is indeed low. T.M. Prediction: 80-75 BYU. |
|||||||
03-07-20 | Seton Hall v. Creighton OVER 151.5 | Top | 60-77 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Seton Hall/Creighton OVER (10* TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER). I expect each team to play at a frenetic pace in this huge game. The top seed in the Big East is on the line tonight. Note that Creighton won this game at Seton Hall 87-82 on February 12 and in my opinion, all signs once again point to a high-scoring shootout. Seton Hall comes in hungry here to avenge that setback, but also because they fell 79-77 at home on Seniors Night to Villanova on Wednesday. Seton Hall averages 75.2 PPG and it allows 67.9, while Creighton averages 78.4 PPG, while allowing 70.1. The Blue Jays hammered Georgetown 91-76 on Wednesday and clearly it'll be keeping the foot on the gas here. This one has "shootout" written all over it. T.M. Prediction: 83-80 Creighton. |
|||||||
03-01-20 | Cincinnati v. Houston OVER 135.5 | Top | 55-68 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 47 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cincy/Houston OVER. The Bearcats are in a race for first place with three games remaining. Clearly the visitors will have to try and push the pace and keep up with the home side. Cincinnati beat Wichita State last time out by a score of 67-64, but the Bearcats are definitely going to have their hands full here with a Memphis team also looking to lock down top spot in the conference and which enters off a tough 60-59 loss to Memphis in its last outing. Finally note that the Bearcats average 73.5 PPG and the Cougars average 72.8. Considering all of the above factors, I look for this total to fly over sooner, rather than later. T.M. Prediction: 77-70 Houston. |
|||||||
02-29-20 | UC-Santa Barbara v. Cal-Irvine UNDER 137.5 | Top | 58-69 | Win | 100 | 12 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: 10* UNDER Santa Barbara/UC Irvine. I think this will be a battle from start to finish vs. the 19-9 UC Santa Barbara Gauchos vs. the 20-10 UC Irvine Anteaters. The Gauchos come to town red hot, winners of five of their last six. Their only loss came to UC Davis recently. UC Irvine is No. 1 in the Big West and it won't want to falter here so close to the finish line. UC Irvine though plays with revenge here as well after stumbling at Santa Barbara eariler in the year (the teams combined for just 124 points in that one.) Look for a similarily hard-fought affair and for this total to stay well under once the final horn blares. T.M. Prediction: 68-65 UC Irvine. |
|||||||
02-28-20 | Davidson v. Dayton OVER 140.5 | Top | 67-82 | Win | 100 | 13 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Davidson/Dayton OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). In my opinion, this one sets up as a shootout, not a defensive battle. The Flyers have won 17 straight and with just a hand full of games left to go before the Tournaments start, I have a hard time seeing Dayton taking the foot off the gas at this point. Especially at home. Davidson though would love nothing more than to play spoiler and it enters having won four of its last five. Both teams average over 70 PPG on the season and with what I expect to be a frantic pace from start to finish, we can expect this total to fly over sooner, rather than later! T.M. Prediction: 80-70 Dayton. |
|||||||
02-27-20 | Towson v. Hofstra UNDER 141 | 76-65 | Push | 0 | 26 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Towson/Hofstra UNDER (10*). Towson is 17-12 overall and it's 4-1 in its last five. Hofstra though is 22-7 this season and the Pride enter on an eigh-game win streak. These are two of the hottest teams in the conference and I'm expecting an all out war, where every possession is contested. In what I believe will be a slower than normal pace for each side tonight, tempo will indeed contribute to this one staying well below the posted number in my opinion. T.M. Prediction: (70-63 Hofstra). |
|||||||
02-24-20 | Oklahoma State v. Kansas OVER 134.5 | 58-83 | Win | 100 | 27 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas/Oklahoma State OVER (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). This is a dangerous spot for Kansas in my estimation. The Jayhawks come in off a huge win over No. 1 Baylor on the road last time out and it'll have to be extremely careful here to not look past their lowly opponent today. Oklahoma State will be out to pull off an upset of its own here, albeit a much bigger one. The Cowboys though will be feeling confident here after their latest 83-66 blowout win over rival Oklahoma in their last outing. I think the stage is set for a faster paced "shootout," not a lower-scoring "chess match." Play the over. T.M. Prediction: 85-70 KU. |
|||||||
02-22-20 | Tennessee v. Auburn OVER 135 | Top | 66-73 | Win | 100 | 17 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tennessee/Auburn OVER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). This is a big game. These two teams will also meet in their regular season finales in Knoxville. The Vols have four players averaging in double-figures. Overall Tennessee averages 66.8 PPG, while allow 62.1. Auburn comes home eager to shake off consecutive road losses. Expect the home side to push the pace from start to finish. Tennessee averages 79 PPG and it allows 70.9. Auburn has scored 80 or more points in six of its last seven conference home games and Tennessee is going to have to match pace. This total is low. T.M. Prediction: 77-73 Auburn. |
|||||||
02-15-20 | Eastern Kentucky v. Austin Peay UNDER 156 | 85-93 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Eastern Kentucky/Austin Peay UNDER This total is too high. Austin Peay last 5 games had 140, 132, 138, 134 and 139. Eastern Kentucky last three games had 127, 158 and 149. I have them getting 148 here. T.M. Prediction: Austin Peay 78-70 |
|||||||
02-11-20 | Fordham v. Davidson OVER 120.5 | Top | 49-79 | Win | 100 | 20 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Fordham/Davidson OVER Fordham has played some very low scoring games this season, as their season average is only 57.95 points per game. But, I believe that even if they manage to score that many, the total will still go OVER. In the last meeting between these two teams, they reached 136 points which was an easy win for the OVER. The Wildcats have seen some very high scoring games, on the other hand. They average 71+ points per game and I expect them to reach 70 with ease today. The total has gone OVER in 5 of Davidson's last 7 games played in February as well. The number is very low. Take the OVER and expect a winner with room to spare. T.M. Prediction: 76-59 Davidson |
|||||||
02-09-20 | Ohio State v. Wisconsin OVER 123.5 | Top | 57-70 | Win | 100 | 14 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ohio St/Wisconsin OVER With the total be quite low, I believe that these two teams will have no trouble reaching that mark. Coming into today's game, the total has gone OVER in 5 of Wisconsin's last 6 games against Ohio State. Take the OVER and expect an easy winner. T.M. Prediction: 68-67 Wisconsin |
|||||||
02-08-20 | Virginia v. Louisville OVER 114 | Top | 73-80 | Win | 100 | 15 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Virginia/Louisville OVER Everyone knows about Virginia's defensive tendencies. This is such a low number though. Too low! Louisville is a top tier team and isn't going to go down without scoring. Cardnals averaging 79.4 points L5 games. The last meeting? A 73-68 final. Game had a total of 125. This one goes way over too. T.M. Prediction: 66-63 Louisville |
|||||||
02-01-20 | Michigan State v. Wisconsin UNDER 131 | Top | 63-64 | Win | 100 | 14 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Michigan St/Wisconsin UNDER Both of these two teams have seen more under's than over's this year, and they have both played stellar defense. Entering this game, The total has gone UNDER in all 5 of Michigan State's last 5 games this season. The Spartans have also seen the total go UNDER in each of their last 6 games against opponents in the Big Ten Conference. On the other hand, the total has gone UNDER in 7 of Wisconsin's last 10 games played on a Saturday. In their last five meetings against each other, all of 'em have stayed UNDER. Expect that again. T.M. Prediction: 68-59 MSU |
|||||||
01-31-20 | VCU v. Rhode Island UNDER 141.5 | Top | 75-87 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 38 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: VCU|Rhode Island Under These teams met 20 days ago. Together they scored 121 points. VCU is perhaps the best defense in the Atlantic 10. Rhode Island only allows 62.6 points per game in Conference play though. Under 3-0 In A Home Game Where The Total Is 140 To 144.5. D-E-F-E-N-S-E! D-E-F-E-N-S-E! T.M. Prediction: 67-63 Rhode Island |

|||||||
01-25-20 | Delaware v. Northeastern OVER 143.5 | Top | 76-74 | Win | 100 | 12 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Northeastern/Delaware OVER Delaware enters Saturday's match with a 14-7 record, while the Huskies come in with a solid 11-9. Although their season record looks better, the Fightin' Blue Hens haven't really been too consistent throughout this season. Coming into this game, the total has gone OVER in 8 of Delaware's last 12 games against opponents in the Colonial Athletic Conference. Delaware has also seen the total go OVER in each of their last 5 games while playing on the road against Northeastern. For the Huskies, they have also seen many OVER's. The total has now gone OVER in 7 of Northeastern's last 9 games played in January. The score has also gone above the total in 5 of their last 7 games this season.

|||||||
01-24-20 | Marquette v. Butler OVER 137 | Top | 85-89 | Win | 100 | 22 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Marquette/Butler OVER Butler comes into this game with a 15-4 record, while Marquette is 14-5. The Bulldogs are at home in this matchup, so they come in as the favorite. Butler may have an excellent record so far, but they come in off 3 straight losses. Including each of those 3 games, the total has gone OVER in 4 of Butler's last 6 games this season. The Bulldogs have also seen the total go OVER in 4 of their last 5 games against opponents from the Big East Conference. On the other hand, Marquette has won each of their last 3 games, each against fairly good teams. Leading the way, is PG Markus Howard who is avereging 28.4 points per game this season. Last year, we saw him drop 50 in one game! Entering this game, the Golden Eagles have seen the total go OVER in 9 of their last 11 games. Marquette has also seen the total go OVER in 5 of their last 7 games played against this Butler team. Whoever wins this game will gain a huge confidence boost, so I believe that it will be a back-and-forward, high-scoring game on Friday. Expect lots of points and take the OVER. T.M. Prediction: 78-75 Marquette |

T.M. Selection: Pepperdine/Idaho St Under Neither team has had the start that they were hoping for. I expect both sides to tighten up their defense here. Off a low scoring game, the total has now gone UNDER in 13 of Idaho State's L16 games played in December. If the Bengals are going to have a chance in this one, they need to out play the Waves on the defensive end. Pepperdine, on the other hand, has seen the total go OVER many times this year. Although they've scored a lot, they have lost 5 straight games. They have also seen the total go UNDER in December though, as the UNDER is 11-3 in the past.

T.M. Selection: Towson/Kent St OVER Both of these two teams are undefeated to start the season. Towson is 2-0 while the Golden Flashes are 1-0. In Kent State's game, they scored 97 points against a weak opponent. That should motivate them to do it again on Monday against the Tigers. Towson scored lots in their last matchup as well. I expect both teams to be scoring buckets all over the place tonight. Take the OVER T.M. Prediction: 81-75 Towson |
