SM is returning just one starter from last year's edition, but the new four are as a total better than their predecessors. Not suggesting that SM can win this game, but Memphis is in a rather unfocused mode for this game knowing they are vastly better. This is a situation where the unsuspecting favorite can presume the game is won before it is played and that is nearly always a dangerous combination for any team. Further, Memphis HC Pastner is 28-45 ATS (-21.5 Units) in non-conference games as the coach of Memphis. Take Southern Mississippi. |

04-04-15 | Wisconsin v. Kentucky -5 | Top | 71-64 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 40 m | Show |
50* graded play on Kentucky as they take on Wisconsin in the Final Four Round of the NCAA Tournament. The simulator shows a high probability that Kentucky will win this game by at least 9 points. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Kentucky is a solid 9-2 ATS (+6.8 Units) when they make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game this season; Wisconsin is a money losing 27-46 ATS (-23.6 Units) in road games when their opponents make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game since 1997. Calipari is a solid 16-7 ATS (+8.3 Units) after 3 straight games committing 11 or less turnovers as the coach of Kentucky; 22-10 ATS (+11.0 Units) after a win by 6 points or less; 15-6 ATS (+8.4 Units) when playing against a top-level team (Win Pct. > 80%) after 15 or more games; 34-18 ATS (+14.2 Units) in road games versus very good teams outscoring their opponents by 8+ points/game. The difference in this game is the Kentucky defense and their enormous bench depth. Kentucky has allowed opponents to shoot just 35% from the field, which is best in the nation by a wide margin. In fact, only the 2000 Stanford Cardinal has allowed a shooting percentage less than 36% in the last 25 years. Wisconsin will have to score form the paint and I see them struggling against the length of Kentucky. One of the stats I really like to use is the opponent assist-to-turnover. Kentucky rank first with a 0.555 ratio while Wisconsin ranks 127th with a 0.937 ratio. This means that Kentucky forces nearly double the opponent turnovers to what the opponents get in assists. I am not suggesting this will be a low scoring game. Just that the Kentucky defense will be the dominating factor. Take Kentucky. |

04-02-15 | Stanford v. Miami (FL) +2 | Top | 66-64 | Push | 0 | 8 h 38 m | Show |
25* graded play on the Miami Hurricanes as they take on the Stanford Cardinal in the Championship game of the NIT Tournament. If you can get a ML of +125 or higher, then playing the entire amount using the money is a solid alternative wager. The simulator shows a high probability that Miami will win this Championship game. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Stanford is just 4-13 ATS (-10.3 Units) when they make 31% to 37% of their three point attempts in a game over the last 3 seasons; Miami is a solid 11-4 ATS (+6.6 Units) in road games when they attempt 54 to 62 shots in a game this season; 12-1 ATS (+10.9 Units) when they score 67 to 74 points in a game over the last 2 seasons. Miami is also a solid 13-1 against the money line (+13.4 Units) when they make 79% or more of their free throws in a game over the last 2 seasons. Miami guard Rodriquez is doubtful for tonight's game with a wrist injury. This means that team leader Sheldon McClellan will play more minutes and possibly the entire game. He leads Miami in scoring with 14.4 PPG. That is not a bad thing when playing in the last game of the year. Take Miami (Fla). |

03-31-15 | Stanford v. Old Dominion +2.5 | Top | 67-60 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 54 m | Show |
25* graded play on Old Dominion as they take on Stanford in the semi-final round of the NIT set to start at 9:25 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that ODU will win this game. The line is at 2 1/2 with a money line of about +125 at most books. Now, if you can get a money line offered to you at +130 or higher I would recommend a combination wager using a 21* play on the line and a 4* play using the money line. If the money line stays at +125, then I would suggest just making a 25* play using the the line only. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Stanford is just 14-28 ATS (-16.8 Units) when they force 10 to 13 turnovers in a game over the last 3 seasons. ODU is a solid 16-5 ATS (+10.5 Units) when their opponents make 40% to 46% of their shots in a game over the last 2 seasons; 47-19 ATS (+26.1 Units) in road games when they score 67 to 74 points in a game since 1997. ODU is a solid 14-3 ATS (+10.7 Units) when facing excellent ball handling teams committing |

03-29-15 | Gonzaga +3 v. Duke | Top | 52-66 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 36 m | Show |
25* graded play on Gonzaga as they take on Duke in the Elite 8 set to start at 5:05 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Gonzaga will win this game and advanced to the Final 4. Given the line at +2 and +2 1/2 at majority of sports books, I don't see the opportunity to play a combination wager comprised of a 20* play on the line and a 5* play using the money line. However, if you are able to get a +130 money line, then it would be wise to construct the combination wager. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Gonzaga is a solid 101-33 against the money line (+47.7 Units) when they make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game since 1997; 7-1 against the money line (+6.2 Units) in road games when they make 38% to 45% of their three point attempts in a game over the last 3 seasons; 10-1 against the money line (+9.0 Units) in road games when they commit around the same number of turnovers as opponent this season; 8-1 against the money line (+7.0 Units) in road games when they grab 34 to 39 rebounds in a game this season; 11-1 ATS (+9.9 Units) in road games facing top caliber teams outscoring their opponents by 12+ points/game over the last 3 seasons. Gonzaga has shown they are a complete team with great leadership from experienced seniors. I also don't believe that Okafor can hold off Gonzaga's size for an entire 40 minutes essentially by himself. He has shown some very lax defensive skills in recent games and Gonzaga will look to pound the pain often. On eof two things can happen and neither are good for Duke. One is that Okofar plays more aggressive defense and gets into foul trouble, or the Gonzaga will score a t a very high percentage from 2-point range. Take Gonzaga. |

03-29-15 | Michigan State v. Louisville +3 | Top | 76-70 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 9 m | Show |
25* graded play onLouisville as they take on Michigan State in the Elite 8 Round of the NCAA Tournament. The simulator shows a high probability that Louisville will win this game. Given this favorable projection I like making this a combination wager IF the line gets to 3 points. I do think based on the betting flows there is a chance this may occur. However, you may see the line stay at 2 1/2, but vig rise to -120 area for betting on MSU. If you see that, it will mean the money line has risen to a satisfactory level for the combination wager to be validated. So, if you see the ML at +130 or higher make a combination wager using a 21* play on the line and a 4* play using the money line. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Louisville is a solid 23-10 ATS (+12.0 Units) in road games versus bad pressure defensive teams forcing |

03-28-15 | Notre Dame v. Kentucky -11 | Top | 66-68 | Loss | -108 | 12 h 40 m | Show |
25* graded play on Kentucky as they take on Notre Dame in the Elite 8 Round of the NCAA Tournament. I also like the 'OVER' for a 10* play. I would not wager more than a 5* play using Kentucky and the 'over' for a parlay. Another consideration, would be not to do a parlay and simply add a 5* amount to Kentucky and the "over' making it a 30* and 15* respectively. That essentially provides the return the parlay would with out the added risk of the parlay not hitting. The simulator shows a high probability that Kentucky will win this game by at least 14 points. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 104-60 ATS for 64% winners since 2009. Play on favorites of 10 to 19.5 points (KENTUCKY) average 3-point shooting team making between 32 and 36.5% an dis now facing an average 3-point defense allowing between 32 and 36.5% shooting; and with the favorite a dominant rebounding team >=+6 reb/game competing against an average rebounding team +/-3 reb/game. This system underscores two of the matchups I see Kentucky dominating in this matchup. One is rebounding and the second is the opportunity Kentucky will have to knock down 3's. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Kentucky is a near-perfect 9-1 ATS (+7.9 Units) when they make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game this season. No question, the media is correct in stating that Notre Dame is a very good offensive team with four players making better than 40% from the beyond the arc. BUT, Kentucky is a near-perfect 9-1 ATS (+7.9 Units) versus teams who make 8 or more 3 point shots/game on the season over the last 2 seasons; 6-0 ATS (+6.0 Units) versus good offensive teams - scoring 77+ points/game this season. Notre Dame has not dressed well in the role of under dogs in consecutive games and now find themselves a double digit one. ND is just 5-17 ATS (-13.7 Units) after playing a game as an underdog over the last 2 seasons. ND has strong 3-point shooting, but Kentucky has equivalent length of many NBA teams. That length reduces the spreading of the defense to respect the 3. Moreover, that length will allow Kentucky to anticipate the perimeter shot and contest them far more than any other team ND has faced. Contrary to media reports, I expect that Kentucky will come out running instead of 'setting the slower tone' They have a vast advantage in bench depth over ND and can choose to run them off the court. Perimeter shooters need their legs to lauch solid shots and a fast paced game will wear down those shooters. Take Kentucky. |

03-28-15 | Canisius v. N.J.I.T. -2.5 | Top | 73-78 | Win | 100 | 10 h 10 m | Show |
25* graded play on New Jersey Tech as they take on Canisius in the quarterfinal round of the College Insider Tournament set to start at 7:30 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that NJ Tech will win this game by at least five points. As you may remember, I played on NJ Tech in their previous two games, both winners and see the same matchup advantages for them in this contest. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. In lined games under head coach Engles, NJ Tech is a rock solid 8-1 ATS. This reflects the under valued nature of NJ Tech and the fact that the public has not caught up to just how good this team is playing against similar competition. They are also the last remaining independent D-1 program and essentially auditioning for an opportunity to be a conference member. NJ Tech is the much better shooting team and play better team defense than Canisius. NJ Tech ranks 36th in 3-point shooting percentage and 78th in total shooting percentage. Canisius ranks a horrid 255th in 3-point shooting and 278th in overall shotting percentage. Take NJ Tech. |

03-27-15 | Michigan State v. Oklahoma +2.5 | Top | 62-58 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 31 m | Show |
25* graded play on Oklahoma as they take on Michigan State in the Sweet 16 Round of the NCAA Tournament set to start at 10:07 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Oklahoma will win this game and advanced to the Elite Round. With the current line at +2, there is no advantage in placing a combination wager. However, if the line would move to +3 or higher than a 21* play using the line and a 4* play using the money line would be validated. I am confident in my release on Oklahoma to win, but the money line spreads are wide for any event. For example, the ML for MSU is +110 and -130 for MSU and obviously the net difference between the two is pockets by the book. But, with money lines, no all of the action is balanced between 'buyer' and seller' with most money lines seeing much more action and dollar volume on the favorite. So, to offset they make the spreads wider and pay-out less on the dogs that are generally underplayed to offset the favorite players. So, at +110 there si certainly no advantage as compared to a +2 -110 line. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Oklahoma is a solid 31-17 ATS (+12.3 Units) when they attempt 54 to 62 shots in a game over the last 3 seasons; 23-10 ATS (+12.0 Units) when they make 79% or more of their free throws in a game over the last 3 seasons.

Gonzaga is 19-9 ATS (+9.1 Units) when playing against a good team winning between 60% to 80% over the last two seasons; 10-3 ATS (+6.7 Units) competing against good teams outscoring their opponents by 4+ points/game this season. UCLA is an imperfect 0-6 ATS (-6.6 Units) in road games after 2 consecutive non-conference games this season; 4-13 ATS (-10.3 Units) in road games after a non-conference game over the last 3 seasons. Gonzaga is playing well and flying under the media radar. I strongly believe they are a team that will make the Final 4. Looking at the scope of both teams fundamentally, Gonzaga is the vastly better team at both ends of the court. Gonzaga has a modest edge on the offensive side, but a vastly superior edge on the defensive end. Gonzaga ranks 46th in scoring defense, 15th in assists allowed, 26th in rebounds allowed, and 7th best posting a 0.436 assist-FG made ratio. By comparison, UCLA ranks 206th in scoring defense, 290th in assists allowed, 163rd in rebounds allowed, and 265th posting a poor 1.12 opponent assists to turnover ratio and 308th posting a 0.585 opponent assist-FG made ratio.

25* graded play on Old Dominion as they take on Murray State in the NIT quarterfinals set to start at 7:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that ODU will win this game and advance to the semifinal round of the NIT. Last night's Game of the Year play in the NIT on Richmond had to be one of the most painful and frustrating losses of my 21-year career. Richmond was cruising up 17 points against what appeared to be a disinterested Miami team. That's why they play 40 minutes and that's why we don't hit 80% ATS winners. It was just one loss though at the end of the day. They key factor from what I have learned over the years is forget these losses - and even the great wins - and get to the present day's card searching for the next opportunity. The best athletes in the world and the best businessmen in the world conduct their lives in the present planning for future success. Golfers and pitchers are excellent at this trait never getting too high or too low and always focused on executing the next task as well as possible. So, that is the course of action for today and we must further recognize that I am on 10-3 ATS NBA run and 16-7 ATS run with the 25* Titan releases. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. ODI is a solid 16-5 ATS (+10.5 Units) when their opponents make 40% to 46% of their shots in a game over the last 2 seasons.

Vermont plays a very slow grinding style of game. They rank 325th attempting an average of just 50 shots per game. Further, they do not attempt many shots from beyond the arc. They rank 278th making 5.3 three-point shots per game and 312th attempting 15 three-point shots per game. Radford ranks 85th with a 45% shooting percentage and I strongly believe that They will also be more effective from the perimeter than based on season averages. Another advantage for Radford is their strong offensive rebounding presence. They rank 54th getting 10.4 offensive boards and an even better 39th in offensive rebound percentage getting one every 34% of all possessions. Take Radford. |

25* graded play on NJIT as they host Cleveland State in the CIT second round set to start at 7:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that NJIT will win this game. If the line remains at +3 or higher, than consider making a combination wager using a 21* play on the line and a 4* play using the money line. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Cleveland Stat is just 42-63 ATS (-27.3 Units) in road games when they attempt 54 to 62 shots in a game since 1997; 34-55 ATS (-26.5 Units) when they make 31% to 37% of their three point attempts in a game since 1997; 35-60 ATS (-31.0 Units) when they attempt 4 to 9 less free throws than opponents in a game since 1997; 36-60 ATS (-30.0 Units) when they score 61 to 66 points in a game since 1997; 52-76 ATS (-31.6 Units) when they allow 67 to 74 points in a game since 1997. Further, we see that 0-6 ATS (-6.6 Units) after one or more consecutive overs this season. NJIT is the last independent college basketball program in the country, so they have had to make games with any opponent willing to play them. They destroyed Hampton 86-67 Feb 2 and have won 7 of the last 8 contests. Damon Lynn is the team leader in minutes (36.5), scoring (17.7 PPG), and steals (1.6). He is complemented by fellow guard Ky Howard, who is the team leader in rebounds (6) and assists (4.2). They have a a very athletic forward in Daquan Holiday, who is 6-8 and just 205 pounds, but can leap out of the building. They are a much better ball movement team than Cleveland State and will work the ball for the best shot possible. They will not wait and drain the shot clock either, often times taking the first open shot in a possession. They also rotate five other guards in and out of the game and this will keep Lynn and Howard quite fresh in the second half. Take NJIT. |

Play on neutral court teams as a favorite or pick (GONZAGA) after 2 straight games committing 11 or less turnovers and now facing an opponent after a game committing eight or less turnovers. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Iowa is just 31-93 ATS (-71.3 Units) when their opponents make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game since 1997; 0-8 ATS (-8.8 Units) when competing against good rebounding teams outrebounding opponents by 4+ per game after 15+games spanning the last 2 seasons; 1-8 ATS (-7.8 Units) when competing against dominant rebounding teams outrebounding opponents by 7+ per game over the last 2 seasons. Further, Gonzaga is a solid 18-7 ATS (+10.3 Units) when playing with one or less days rest over the last 2 seasons; 27-14 ATS (+11.6 Units) after a game where they failed to cover the spread over the last 3 seasons. Gonzaga can score inside or from mid-level jumpers, or from the perimeter. Iowa likes to play fast, but getting into a track meet will be counter productive against Gonzaga. Take Gonzaga. |

25* graded play on San Diego State as they take on Duke in Round 3 of the NCAA TOurnament set to start at 2:40 PM ET. Of note: SDST guard Aqeel Quinn (10.8 points) has nearly recovered from apparent food poisoning. Quinn said he started feeling badly after eating a turkey sandwich Thursday, then started vomiting and needed an IV by that night. He played just 19 minutes and went 1 for 6 from the field in the win against St. John's. He stated Saturday he's "pretty solid now. The simulator shows a high probability that SDST will lose this game by fewer than 8 points and actually has a shot to upset Duke in this matchup. Given this favorable projection, I like simply adding a 3* play using the money line to the 25* play using the line. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 143-85 ATS mark good for 63% winners since 2009. Play against any team (DUKE) that is a hot team having covered 6 or 7 of their last 8 against the spread and is a top-level team winning >= 80% of their games and now playing a good team winning between 60% to 80%. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. SDST is a rock solid 20-10 ATS (+9.0 Units) competing against good rebounding teams outrebounding opponents by 4+ per game over the last 2 seasons. SDST is a perfect 7-0 ATS (+7.0 Units) when playing their 2nd game in 3 days over the last 2 seasons. Further, we see that SDSAT is 12-4 ATS (+7.6 Units) in all tournament games over the last 2 seasons. We also see that Krzyzewski is 7-17 ATS (-11.7 Units) after a game forcing opponent to commit 8 or less turnovers as the coach of Duke. SDST Forward Skylar Spencer is the a junior and has a ton of defensive ability and is fundamentally schooled to defense players like Okafor. He does not have stunning flash stats, but does a ton of things for his team that do not appear in the box score. I strongly believe he will do a great job being extremely physical with Okafor. Duke is at it;'s best when Okafor is scoring down low and then feeding his teammates on the perimeter. Duke is limited in size to Okafor and Plumlee and I do believe that SDST does have the size and depth to minimize Duke's offensive paint presence. Take SDST. |

The simulator shows a high probability that Northern Arizona will win this game. Given this favorable projection and the fact they are installed as a 3 1/2 point dog presents an excellent opportunity to make a combination wager. I suggest placing a 20* play using the line and a 5* play using the money line. In addition, placing a round robin parlay with these three teams wagering no more than a 3* play on each of the three parlays offers an excellent bonus opportunity.

25* graded play on Villanova as they take on NC State in the Third Round of the NCAA Tournament set to start at 7:10 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Villanova will win this game by at least 11 points. I also like the 'under' in this matchup and suggest a 10* play on the 'under' and then a 5* play using Villanova and the 'under' in a reverse parlay. The 4:1 pay-off with the reverse parlay is quite attractive from a ROI standpoint. Obviously, we are assuming too that these plays won't both lose as that would cost 12* units in loss from the 5* reverse parlay. Please take some time and study the reverse parlay and it's significant risk/rewards before taking on this play. A smart play too, is to just play Villanova as a 25* play.

When Dayton has played a superior rebounding team, the results have been poor. Dayton is just 20-48 ATS (-32.8 Units) when they grab 4 to 9 fewer rebounds than their opponents in a game since 1997. Providence has been a perfect 6-0 ATS (+6.0 Units) in road games when they make 72% to 78% of their free throws in a game this season; 12-1 ATS (+10.9 Units) when they grab 4 to 9 more rebounds than their opponents in a game over the last 2 seasons. Even worse for Dayton is the fact that they are an imperfect 0-7 ATS (-7.7 Units) in road games after playing a game where both teams score 65 points or less this season. I simply see Providence as the vastly better team overall with a sizable edge in rebounding. Take Providence. |

Gonzaga is a solid 104-49 ATS (+50.1 Units) when their opponents make 34% to 39% of their shots in a game since 1997; 18-8 ATS (+9.2 Units) when playing against a good team winning between 60% to 80%) of their games spanning the last 2 seasons; 14-5 ATS (+8.5 Units) in road games facing good 3 point shooting teams making >=37% of their attempts over the last 3 seasons. Further, we see that head coach Few is a solid Few is 25-11 ATS (+12.9 Units) in road games after a combined score of 165 points or more as the coach of Gonzaga. NDST is a quality team, but they have not faced a team as complete as Gonzaga. NDST ranks 47th in scoring defense allowing 61.6 PPG, but this is somewhat misleading given their slow grinding style of offense. Gonzaga is one of the best offensive teams in the nation and score inside, outside, and mid-level. They work the ball with strong passing and players are always spaced and putting pressure on the defense to essentially defend every possible shot on the court. Gonzaga ranks 2nd in effective shooting percentage, fourth in three-point shooting percentage, second in two-point shooting percentage, and BEST in overall shooting efficiency. Gonzaga ranks just 229th in 3-point attempts, but rank 87th in 3-point shots made. This clearly reflects Gonzaga does not rely on the '3' or paint scoring to win games, which has been the case of Gonzaga Tournament teams past. NDST ranks 273rd allowing 36.4% 3-point shooting and 140th in opponent shooting efficiency percentage. NDST cannot defend all three areas of shot attempts (3-point, paint, and mid-level) against Gonzaga and few teams if any can. Now, NDST really struggles at times on the offensive end. Any multiple minute period of no FG made by NDST will simply allow Gonzaga to extend their lead. NDST ranks 244th in scoring offense and 204th posting a 0.95 assist-to-turnover ratio. Further, BDST ranks 283rd in 2-point shooting and 211th in shooting percentage. They do shoot the 3-point shot well making 37.8% good for 43rd best, but Gonzaga ranks 71is in opponent 3-point shooting percentage, 7th in 2-point shooting percentage, and 10th in overall opponent shooting efficiency.

Self is 32-16 ATS (+14.4 Units) after a loss by 6 points or less in all games he has coached since 1997. Kansas played the toughest overall schedule in the nation. NMST has not seen one opponent this season that even comes close to the physicality and speed of Kansas. Further, Kansas' physical length will be a factor especially in the rebounding department. Kansas ranks 15th best in the nation in defensive rebounding and 58th in offensive rebounding. A strong focus will be on keeping NMST off of the offensive glass and minimizing their multi-shot possessions. Take Kansas. |

Georgetown is a solid 9-2 ATS (+6.8 Units) when they make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game this season; 9-2 ATS (+6.8 Units) when they score 75 to 80 points in a game over the last 2 seasons; EWU is just 26-46 ATS (-24.6 Units) when they allow 75 to 80 points in a game since 1997. Georgetown played a vastly more difficult schedule than EWU. Winners of five straight games and covering the last four, EWU, is over valued by my standards. EWU is led by the offensive powerhouse guard Tyler Harvey, who has team highs in minutes (37) and scoring (23 PPG). I am very confident that Georgetown's defense will contain him and force the rest of the EWU players on the floor to be significant contributors. Georgetown ranks 49th with a 0.835 opponent assist-to-turnover ratio reflecting how well they defend opponents and fill passing lanes. Another huge edge for Georgetown will be in rebounding, especially on the offensive glass. Georgetown ranks 49th in the nation getting an offensive board in 33% of their possessions. EWU ranks 173rd getting a defensive board in 70% of opponent possessions. Take Georgetown. |

Too low a probability predicting the upset for a combination wager using the line and money line, but it does warrant adding a 2* amount using the money line to the 25* line play. Obviously this play could wreak havoc on a lot of brackets should the upset actually occur. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 139-81 ATS mark good for 63% winners since 2009. Play against any team (NOTRE DAME) that is a hot team having covered 6 or 7 of their last 8 against the spread and is a top-level team winning >= 80% playing a good team winning between 60% to 80% of their games. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Northeastern is a solid 15-3 ATS (+11.7 Units) in road games when they make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game over the last three seasons. Further, we note some situational power trend showing that NE is a solid 12-4 ATS (+7.6 Units) when playing against a team with a winning record this season. Irish have been a money burning 5-16 ATS (-12.6 Units) after playing a game as an underdog over the last 2 seasons. Take Northeastern |

25* graded play on the Sam Houston State as they take on UNC-Wilmington in the First Round of the College Insider Tournament set to start at 7:30 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Sam Houston will win this game by at least 10 points. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. UNC-Wilmington is just 6-15 ATS (-10.5 Units) when they attempt 4 to 9 less free throws than opponents in a game over the last 3 seasons; 1-9 ATS (-8.9 Units) as a road underdog of 6.5 to 9 points over the last 3 seasons. Seven of the top-10 players on the Sam Houston State team in minutes played are guards. They are also a much deeper team with nearly double the players making significant contribution sin games. I strongly believe this depth will be a major factor, especially in the second half. Take Sam Houston State. |

25* graded play on Arizona State as they take on UCONN in the first round of the NIT set to start at 7:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that ASU will win this game. Given this favorable projection, I like making this a combination wager using a 21* play on the line and a 4* play using the money line. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. ASU is a near-perfect 8-1 ATS (+6.9 Units) off an upset loss as a favorite over the last 3 seasons. UCONN is a money losing 7-20 ATS (-15.0 Units) in home games after a game with 9 or less assists since 1997; 2-9 ATS (-7.9 Units) after having won 3 of their last 4 games this season. Further, ASU head coach Sendek is 7-0 ATS (+7.0 Units) in road games off a loss to a conference rival as a favorite of 6 points or more in all games he has coached since 1997. ASU is coming off a tough 67-64 loss to USC installed as 6 1/2 point favorites in the PAC-12 Conference Tournament. Yet, UCONN is off an even tougher loss in the Conference Final losing 62-54 to SMU and failing to cover as 4 point dogs. UCONN offense has gone south shooting 33% against SMU and then 36% in the semifinal win against Tulsa. ASU is a vastly better offensive team and gets to the free throw line far more than UCONN. ASU ranks 110th in scoring differential getting outscored by an average of 3 points per game. UCONN ranks what appears to be a better 87th having outscored their opponents by 4.4 PPG. On the defensive end we note that UCONN ranks 22nd in scoring defense, BUT rank a horrid 170th with a 0.981 opponent assist-to-turnover ratio. This clearly means that UCONN's defense is only ranked this high because of their slower paced game and struggles on offense. ASU is the vastly better rebounding team as well. They rank 14th in the nation with a 77% defensive rebound percentage. They will minimize UCONN offensive rebounding and keep them to a majority of one-shot possessions. Take ASU. |

25* graded play on Robert Morris as they take on North Florida in a 'play-in' game for the NCAA Tournament set to start at 6:30 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Robert Morris will win this game. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Robert Morris is a solid 10-2 ATS (+7.8 Units) in road games when they commit 10 to 13 turnovers in a game since 1997; 8-2 against the money line (+8.1 Units) in road games when they commit 10 to 13 turnovers in a game since 1997. Further, Robert Morris is a stout 12-1 ATS (+10.9 Units) in road games after 2 consecutive conference games since 1997. Guard Dallas Moore is the offensive star for NF averaging team highs in minutes (32.4) and scoring (16 PPG). Many times Robert Morris will be playing four guards during game. These guards are good players and compliment one another very well. Further, the rotation of these four guards that play nearly equal time between 27.5 minutes and 30 minutes will simply where down Dallas Moore, Nesbitt, and Beech. Robert Morris also has a fifth guard David Appolon, who averages 21 minutes and brings a complete package to the game coming off the bench. Take Robert Morris. |

25* graded play on Stanford as they take on Cal-Davis in NIT first round action set to start at 11:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Stanford will win this game by more than 9 points. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Stanford is a solid 9-2 ATS (+6.8 Units) when they commit 3 to 7 fewer turnovers than their opponents over the last 2 seasons; 10-1 ATS (+8.9 Units) when they score 75 to 80 points in a game over the last 2 seasons. Cal-Davis is a money losing 13-26 ATS (-15.6 Units) when they allow 75 to 80 points in a game since 1997. Stanford is the vastly better team at both ends of the court and has had a much more difficult schedule than Cal-Davis this season. Stanford is rested and are a near-perfect 8-1 ATS (+6.9 Units) in home games when playing only their 3rd game in a week over the last 2 seasons. They are also 10-2 ATS (+7.8 Units) in home games after failing to cover the spread in 4 or more consecutive games since 1997. Take Stanford. |

25* graded play on Rider in the first round of the CBI Tournament set to start at 3:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Rider will win this game. I like making this a combination wager using a 19* play on the line and a 6* play using the money line. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Rider is a solid 14-5 ATS (+8.5 Units) when they make 56% to 63% of their free throws in a game over the last 3 seasons; 23-12 ATS (+9.8 Units) when they grab 9 to 13 offensive rebounds in a game over the last 3 seasons; 29-10 ATS (+18.0 Units) in road games when they allow 61 to 66 points in a game since 1997; 7-0 ATS (+7.0 Units) in road games in games where both teams score 65 or less points this season; 10-2 ATS (+7.8 Units) in road games when they score 61 to 66 points in a game over the last 3 seasons.

25* graded play on George Washington as they take on Pittsburgh in NIT action set to start at 7:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that GW will win this game. As many of you know, when I get a DOG graded as an 'Upset Alert' Titan, I like to play it is a combination wager. The line needs to be at 3 1/2 however, for this to validated based on ROI analysis. So, at 2 1/2 simply play a 25* amount using the line only. Should the line move to 3 1/2, the a combination wager comprised of a 21* play on the line and a 4* play using the money is valid. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. GW is a solid 14-2 ATS (+11.8 Units) when they make 38% to 45% of their three point attempts in a game over the last 3 seasons; Pitt has been a money losing 1-8 ATS (-7.8 Units) when their opponents make 38% to 45% of their 3 pointers in a game this season; 1-10 ATS (-10.0 Units) when they grab 9 to 13 offensive rebounds in a game this season. Further, we note that GW is a near-perfect 8-1 against the money line (+9.4 Units) when they make 38% to 45% of their three point attempts in a game over the last 2 seasons. Take GW. |

Wisconsin is a solid 11-4 ATS (+6.6 Units) when they attempt 54 to 62 shots in a game this season; 14-5 ATS (+8.5 Units) when they make 31% to 37% of their three point attempts in a game over the last 2 seasons; 9-2 ATS (+6.8 Units) in road games when their opponents make 38% to 45% of their 3 pointers in a game over the last 2 seasons; 12-3 ATS (+8.7 Units) in road games when they make 79% or more of their free throws in a game over the last 2 seasons; 15-4 ATS (+10.6 Units) in road games when they grab 34 to 39 rebounds in a game over the last 2 seasons; 53-16 ATS (+35.4 Units) when they score 75 to 80 points in a game since 1997; 19-8 ATS (+10.2 Units) in road games when they commit 9 or fewer turnovers in a game over the last 2 seasons.

03-15-15 | Arkansas +14 v. Kentucky | Top | 63-78 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 46 m | Show |
35* graded play on Arkansas as they take on Kentucky in the SEC Conference Tournament Championship game set to start at 1:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Arkansas will lose this game by fewer than 13 points. I will, if it is available, place a 2* play using the money line on Arkansas. Just in case. This is a highly inflated line and on first take, rightfully so, as Kentucky has steamrolled through it's last 8 games. However, Arkansas is a very good team in their own right and I simply see this game being played out in a single digit manner. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 138-78 ATS for 64% winners since 2009. Play against any team (KENTUCKY) that is a hot team having covered 6 or 7 of their last 8 against the spread, a top-level team winning >= 80% of their games played and now playing a good team winning between 60% to 80% of their games. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Arkansas is a solid 18-8 ATS (+9.2 Units) when they make 72% to 78% of their free throws in a game over the last 3 seasons; 13-6 ATS (+6.4 Units) when they commit 10 to 13 turnovers in a game this season. Further, Arkansas is a solid 10-2 ATS (+7.8 Units) when playing their 2nd game in 3 days over the last 3 seasons. SEC Player of the Year, Bobby Portis had his worst game of the season against Georgia Saturday. He had just four points on 1-of-14 shooting. However, his teammates more than offset his 'bad' day' and Arkansas cruised to a fairly easy win over a quality opponent. Portis is the Player of the Year for a reason and I strongly believe he will have a monster game against Kentucky. Arkansas actually possess a more efficient offense than Kentucky. They rank 9th in scoring offense and 6th averaging 16.5 assist per game, and 10th posting a very strong 1.406 assist-to-turnover ratio. Kentucky ranks 37th in scoring offense, 36th in assists, and 12th with a 1.395 assist-to-turnover ratio. Another important part of this game is Arkansas' abilities to keep Kentucky off of the offensive glass. Both teams are exceptional getting offensive boards. If Kentucky has no more than 3 board edge in this category, it will go a long way to determining just how close this game is on the scoreboard. Take Arkansas. |

This game is being played on a neutral court and the famed Palestra in Philadelphia. The simulator shows a high probability that Yale will win this game and advance to the NCAA Tournament. Yale had their chance to seal the bid simply by winning on the road at Dartmouth. They lost by one point and now have to face their bitter rival Harvard. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 26-8 ATS mark good for 77% winners since 1997. Play on all teams where the line is +3 to -3 (YALE) and is an average offensive team scoring between 67 and 74 PPG and is now facing a struggling offensive team scoring between 63 and 67 PPG after 15+ games and after allowing 60 points or less 3 straight games. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Yale is a perfect 6-0 ATS (+6.0 Units) in road games when they make 40% to 46% of their shots in a game this season; 8-0 ATS (+8.0 Units) in road games when their opponents make 31% to 37% of their 3 pointers in a game over the last 2 seasons; 7-0 ATS (+7.0 Units) in road games when playing against a team with a winning record this season.

35* graded play on Middle Tennessee State as they take on UAB in the C-USA Championship game set to start at 3:30 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Middle Tennessee State will win this game and advance to the NCAA Tournament. Line is stable at +2 and I don't see this line moving enough to vbalidate a combination wager - like we used on Middle Tennessee State the past two games for 25* Titan winners. I need to see +3 for a combination wager to be validated and that would consist of a 21* play on the line and a 4* play using the money line. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. UAB is just 9-21 ATS (-14.1 Units) when they grab 34 to 39 rebounds in a game over the last 3 seasons; 1-12 ATS (-12.2 Units) in road games when the rebounding differential is between +3 and -3 in a game over the last 3 seasons. Further, Middle Tenn State is a perfect 7-0 ATS (+7.0 Units) after a game with 9 or less assists this season. MTST is playing very well and over the last four games they have had just 33 turnovers. This excellent ball handling and passing has more than offset 2 games shooting well below 40% form the field. By comparison, UAB has had 55 turnovers over their last four games and had 30 of them over the last two games. Looking at rebounds as a percentage of possessions shows that MTST will have the edge in this part of them game. UAB has been a horrid 260th in the nation allowing an opponent to get an offensive board in 31% of their possessions. MTST ranks 17th in the nation allowing an offensive baord in just 17% of opponent possessions. The ball handling and rebounding strengths is what will lead MTST to the Championship. Take Middle Tennessee State. |

25* graded play on Ohio State as they take on Michigan State in quarterfinals action in the Big Ten Conference Tournament. The simulator shows a high probability that Ohio State will win this game. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Ohio State is a solid 82-48 ATS (+29.2 Units) when they attempt 4 to 9 more free throws than opponents in a game since 1997. Izzo is just 24-41 ATS (-21.1 Units) in road games after playing a road game as the coach of MSU. Matta is 19-8 ATS (+10.2 Units) revenging a loss where team scored less than 60 points as the coach of Ohio State. Ohio State has a much better defense and I believe that their defense will force MSU into difficult shots late in the clock and also a higher number of turnovers. Ohio State is 51st in scoring defense and ninth best in scoring differential. They also rank 61st posting a 0.848 opponent assist-to-turnover ratio. By comparison MSU ranks 135th posting a 0.939 opponent assist-to-turnover ratio. Another key to an Ohio State win is that must keep MSU off the offensive glass and minimize their multi-shot possessions. They will do a great job of that. Take Ohio State. |

25* graded play on Sam Houston State as they take on Texas A&M CC in the semifinal of the Southland Conference Tournament. I've study these teams extensively and I am fully convinced that Sam Houston is at least 10 point better in this matchup. The simulator shows a high probability that Sam Houston State will win this game by 11 or more points. Sam Houston is a vastly better team at both ends of the court. They are a superior rebounding team and that will mitigate multi-shot possessions by TEX A&M CC. Sam Houston ranks 22nd in the nation getting 11.3 offensive boards per game and 10th averaging 25.2 defensive boards. Rebounding stats can be misleading so taking into consideration the rebounds based on a % of total possessions offers a much clearer picture. So, SH ranks 39th getting an offensive board in 34% of all possessions and 33rd getting a defensive board in 75 of opponent possessions. By comparison, TEX A&M CC ranks 222nd in pure offensive boards and 167 in offensive board percentage at 29% of possessions. Further, they rank 289th in pure defensive boards and 245th getting a defensive board in 69% of opponent possessions. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Although TEX A&^M has had limited lined games in their history, their coach Wilson has been a money burning 11-31 ATS (-23.1 Units) in road games after allowing 60 points or less in all games he has coached since 1997. Take Sam Houston State. |

The simulator shows a high probability that NS will win this game by more than 8 points. Of note is that Hampton guard Dwight Meikle has been downgraded to miss tonight's game with an ankle injury. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Norfolk State is a vastly better team at both ends of the court. Neither team is all that impressive, but when studying this specific matchup, NS has many significant advantages. Hampton ranks 325th in the nation posting a 0.722 assist-to-turnover ratio and 313th posting a 0.463 assist-FG made ratio. Hampton may appear to have a rebounding edge on just pure numbers, but when you factor in the rebounding based on a percentage of possessions it shows otherwise. Hampton ranks 46th getting 10.6 offensive boards per game and 39th averaging 34.3 boards per game. But because they play a higher paced game that involves a 326th ranking in turnovers, they rank 112th in offensive % and 109th in defensive %. I strongly believe that Norfolk State will do a great job on the defensive end and minimize Hampton's offensive rebounds. Take Norfolk State. |

25* graded play 'OVER' Ohio State - Minnesota in BIG TEN Conference action set to start at 9:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that more than 147 points will be scored in this game. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game.

Given the inconsistent Minnesota defense , the only hope they have to upset Ohio State is to try and run them off the court. They rank 38th in scoring offense and 34th in assist-to-turnover ratio and matchup well in a high paced game against Ohio State. Now, Ohio State has a strong defense, but has been exposed in running attacks. They do have a very strong offense of their own that can easily match Gopher scoring runs. I expect this to be an up and down game with lots of action. Take the 'over'. |

Indiana is a money burning 32-85 ATS (-61.5 Units) when their opponents make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game since 1997. Further, we see that MSU is been a strong 20-10 ATS (+9.0 Units) versus teams who average 6 or less steals/game on the season over the last 2 seasons and 17-3 ATS (+13.7 Units) in road games against conference opponents over the last 2 seasons. Indiana is off a very poor 77-63 loss home to Iowa and were installed as 3 point favorites. These types of humiliating losses are difficult to get over for many teams. Indian is one of them noting they are just 4-15 ATS (-12.5 Units) off an upset loss by 10 points or more as a favorite since 1997. Take MSU. |

03-05-15 | UC Riverside +9 v. UC-Davis | Top | 59-61 | Win | 100 | 12 h 2 m | Show |
25* graded play on UC-Riverside (UCR) as they take on Cal-Davis in Big West action set to start at 10:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that UCR will lose this game by fewer than 8 [points and has a reasonable shot at getting a shocking road win. I like making this a combination wager using a 31* play on the line and a 4* play using the money line. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. UCR is a solid 16-5 ATS (+10.5 Units) when they make 40% to 46% of their shots in a game over the last 2 seasons; 15-5 ATS (+9.5 Units) when they attempt 14 to 18 free throws in a game over the last 3 seasons; 33-16 ATS (+15.4 Units) in road games when they allow 67 to 74 points in a game since 1997; 30-13 ATS (+15.7 Units) in road games when they score 61 to 66 points in a game since 1997. Further specific situations shows that UCR is 21-10 ATS (+10.0 Units) when playing only their 2nd game in a week over the last 2 seasons; 11-3 ATS (+7.7 Units) in road games after a game where they failed to cover the spread over the last 3 seasons. CD win games with their offense and their defense is quite suspect. I note a 254th national ranking with a 1.099 assist-to-turnover ratio allowed by CD this season. This reflects minimal pressure allowing slightly more assist than forcing turnovers to date. Steve Jones remans out as the UCR point guard with a foot injury extending back to February 4. However, the rest of the team has done well and stepped in his absence. Guard Jaylen Bland is the team leader in minutes (36) and is scoring 15.9 PPG second only to Forward Taylor Johns (16.5 PPG). Further, UCR is a vastly better rebounding team led by Johns and Cal-Davis does not always take good care of the ball averaging 13.7 turnovers per game. Bland is an excellent defender and I expect him to have several steels of the his defensive pressure leading to poor passes that end in turnovers. This si a game where Cal-Davis could take for granted and if they do, it could be a very costly loss. Take UC-Riverside. |

25* graded play on St. Louis as they host St. Bonaventure in A-10 Conference action set to start at 8:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Saint Louis will win this game. Given this favorable projection, I like making this a combination wager using a 21* play using the line and a 4* play using the money line. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. STL is a solid 30-13 ATS (+15.7 Units) in home games when playing against a team with a winning record after 15 or more games since 1997; Bonnies are just 15-31 ATS (-19.1 Units) after a home game where both teams scored 75 points or more since 1997. St. Louis had a horrid loss last time out losing 78-50 home to George Mason and allowed 60% shooting and made just 37% of their own shots. Teams have a strong tendency to perform much better in their next game and in many cases significantly above their season averages at both ends of the court. I firmly believe St. Louis will put in one of their best efforts of the season. Take St. Louis. |

The simulator shows a high probability that Oklahoma will lose this game by fewer than 4 points and has a great shot at winning the game. This would be a MONSTER win for the Sooners and obviously I think they are catching Iowa State at the right time.

Oklahoma is a solid 30-14 ATS (+14.6 Units) when they attempt 54 to 62 shots in a game over the last 3 seasons; 12-3 ATS (+8.7 Units) when they make 72% to 78% of their free throws in a game over the last 2 seasons. Iowa State is an elite ball handling team posting extremeley good metrics in these categories. However, the Sooners have been 7-0 ATS (+7.0 Units) when competing against elite passing teams, averaging >=16 assists/game over the last 2 seasons; 10-2 ATS (+7.8 Units) when facing teams who are called for 3+ less fouls/game than their opponents over the last 2 seasons; 13-1 ATS (+11.9 Units) after 2 straight games with 9 or less offensive rebounds over the last 2 seasons.

Miss State is a money losing 6-15 ATS (-10.5 Units) when they make 34% to 39% of their shots in a game over the last 3 seasons; 1-8 ATS (-7.8 Units) when they score 60 or less points in a game this season; 18-44 ATS (-30.4 Units) when they score 55 to 60 points in a game since 1997; SC is a solid 13-4 ATS (+8.6 Units) when they allow 60 or less points in a game over the last 2 seasons; 51-29 ATS (+19.1 Units) when they allow 55 to 60 points in a game since 1997. Two mostly struggling offensive teams, but the vast difference is the superior SC defense in this matchup. I will use one example focused on a key and meaningful stat opponent assist-to-turnover ratio. SC defense ranks 16th in the nation with a 0.74 assist-to-turnover ratio. MS ranks 174th posting a 0.974 ratio. A number below 1.000 indicates a defense generates more turnovers than allows assists. It is a progressive stat since it is a ratio meaning that there is a monumental difference between these two teams in this defensive category. Take South Carolina. |

Further, we see that HC Pitino is just Pitino is 11-24 ATS (-15.4 Units) after 3 straight games forcing opponent to commit 14 or less turnovers as the coach of Louisville. Hamilton is 10-2 ATS (+7.8 Units) after 2 straight games being called for 5+ more fouls than opponent as the coach of FSU. This is just not a good spot for Louisville. FSu has been playing increasingly better defense. They don't play aggressively looking for steals, but rather are making smarter decision with very good help defense in the paint. Louisville is just not a good offensive team and wins games with their defense. They rank 223rd in the nation in effective shooting percentage and 306th in 3-point shooting percentage. This lack of a perimeter threat plays right in the defensive strengths of FSU. Seminoles will pack the paint and force Louisville to shoot from the perimeter. Take Florida Stat. |
