---Weekly + Monthly Followers... Be sure to check your mail as lines come up late ------- Taking OKLAHOMA STATE here. Have to go back to our Top 10* on West Virginia laying points to #1 Baylor last time I liked a ranked match up like this. Forget about West Va who was a Top 10 team at the time laying points. We have a totally 'unranked' team over the #1. Disclaimer. I did have Kansas the other night and they failed to cover double digits. Should have used my head a little better and fade the newly minted #1 in their first game. That being said. The Cowboys in their final home game vs the top dogs in the land? Should be a wild one for us. Kansas also knows it just needs to win the Big 12 Tourney, which they do in their sleep, to lock up a 1 seed in the NCAAs. Oklahoma State on a 10-2 ATS run last 12 and 5-2 ATS last 7 at home vs Kansas. 10* Money Bomb OKLAHOMA STATE

Taking MURRAY STATE here. A 7 seed as a small dog every time. Murray had a down year after being picked to win the west finishing 3rd. But here they come. They did drop 3 straight coming into tourney play. But found them favored in the opening round against the 6 seed. They then took care of business vs 3 seed Morehead last night and we cashed them as a best bet (had them as Best Bets in both games). So we again will be on board the Racers express. +135 is ok if you want to go ML. Both teams won their home games in the series this year. Jonathan Stark with 37 last night and 41 the night before, seems to putting the team on his shoulders. Tenn Martin is sitting, rested with a double bye. Fresh memory of beating Murray to end the regular season last week. 5* Best Bet MURRAY STATE

Taking MURRAY STATE here. Coming right back on the 7 seed. What a terrible night for us as both Murray and Tennessee State fail to cover in OT for us yesterday. But I go back to what I thought before the games started. Why are the 7 and 8 seed favored? Because they are the better clubs that's why. Now Morehead is the 3 seed but I don't see much difference between Murray's 9-8 conference play and the Eagles 10-6. Morehead did the game in early February 101-100 at home. Won't be shocked if Murray takes the +140 on the ML in this game. As we saw last night, Jonathan Stark can win a game by himself. Doesn't hurt that he also has a 2nd OVC 1st team selection in Terrell Miller to help pick up the slack. 5* Best Bet MURRAY STATE

I know the first inkling is to say. Well, it is tough to beat a good team 3 times. I get it. But North Florida is really on a mission here. They won the regular season last year.

Taking MURRAY STATE here. Again in the OVC the lower seed is favored. 7 Murray over 6 Tenn Tech. What is going on here? Personally, I think the Racers underachieved by not winning their side of the conference this year. Tenn Tech scored a 4pt win back in January when Murray shot 34% from the field. Not going to win many road games shooting like that. Plus, the Racers are limping in having dropped 3 straight. Normally, I would be fading this kind of action. But as I have said before in spots like this. When I see the perceived better, or 'ranked' higher team in the dog role, I know the numbers are on my side to roll with the fave. 5* Best Bet MURRAY STATE

Taking LIPSCOMB here. A little A-Sun tourney flavor tonight. Going against NJIT as I think they are ready to wrap up their disappointing season. Last year as a 2 seed they were upended in the first round. Might be easy to think they will rally around that with a couple starters back. But the fact is this team is 3-11 in conference play and 2-14 on the road. Those wins, over Stetson who is also 3-11 in conference play and sits behind NJIT, and a 4pt win over Idaho State, on a neutral court, as 7pt faves. They do come in with 2 straight wins. 1 over said Stetson who they swept. And their only other conference win, over SC Upstate. Now, Upstate was off a OT loss over top dogs Gulf Coast. They needed to rally for 52 points in the 2nd half to even force OT. So safe to say they were spent as clearly evident that NJIT scored 51 in the second half after being down 16 to win 88-87. Lipscomb comes in 11-3 in conference play with a loss to top seed Gulf Coast, and getting swept by North Florida. North Florida were regular season champs last season and were expected to be the team to beat. After an up and down year, they are 7-7 in conference. But they still have talent so I won't hold that against our Bison. Bison like to push it (85ppg) and I can't see NJIT 41% FG shooting holding up to make this a game. 5* Best Bet LIPSCOMB BISON

Taking the BISON here. I will be the first to say that I do not like this line at all. And in other spots I would be on the small home dog here. But North Dakota State is in a dog fight with South Dakota for the top seed here in Summit play both sitting at 10-4. Oral is in last with a 4-11 conference record and just 8 wins on the year. They are also on the outside looking in at a 8 team conference tournament. Yes, they could very well be highly motivated to make their conference tourney. But Oral has not be dominate in Summit play in nearly a decade. North Dakota State has won 2 of the last 3 conference tournaments. Obviously they are better team. The records speak to that. I just think at this short price, I have to go with a the better team and not a desperate team who hasn't played well for nearly four months. 8* Sure Shot NORTH DAKOTA STATE

Taking NORTH DAKOTA STATE here. So we already knocked these guys off on the road back in December. But I think the Bison really want to lay it on them here at home. I can't help but think they are still brewing over the Jackrabbits beating them in the Summit Championship last March. In fact, in 2 of the last 3 championship games, SDST has ended NDST hopes of the getting to the NCAAs. Now it is only February, but I just can't see the Bison giving SDST any breathing room here. Jackrabbits already under-performing on the year. Why give them any hope of a happy season? They have 2 road wins all year. An 8pt win over Drake. (who was drubbed at home last night by 29) and a 4pt win over Omaha when they had to hit 50% of their shots. We have lost twice at home. Once to North Dakota (we beat them in their place a week later) and our last game. Losing by 10 to South Dakota as they shot over 50% from the field. So off that loss, I am thinking we get the proverbial 'A' game from the team with a big focus on defense. 10* Money Bomb NORTH DAKOTA STATE

But they are one of the worse scoring and shooting teams in the land. Mason now 6-1 ATS on the road. We have HUGE revenge angle for us as STL beat us at home and we were 14pt favorites! It was as tough spot coming off a St Joe's road win and a game at Richmond on deck. But I don't think we shoot under 40% here. In their last home win, STL shot 55 FTs. 55!! Any team shooting 55 FTs at home is going to be in a game. I would be shocked if we didn't win this by double digits. 10* Money Bomb GEORGE MASON

FSU with a couple neutral site games over Manhattan and GW before scoring a win at Virginia. At first glance, that looks like a good score.

Yet they get lines like they are the undefeated UNLV team. Blue Devils 0-2 ATS without Coach falling to cover laying 26 v BC and then the Seminole game.

Taking NORTH CAROLINA here. These guys are really putting it all together on both sides of the floor. Very deep and talented. I can't take anything away from Villanova. But this line is short enough to ride the favorite. If the 'Cats shoot, like 75% again, well, the outcome will be very different. But I think t he 'Heels defense stymies the hot handed Nova bunch.

Taking VIRGINIA here. Look. I had the Zags last game. They blew a couple leads. That is not happening with VA here. Virginia is a very good team. In case you forget, this is a 1 seed that was upset by Michigan State last year. I don't expect a 2-17 3pt performance and 29% FG shooting here, even against this Orange zone. I don't think Syracuse should have been invited to the dance, but they have exceeded expectations by far. Syracuse was under .500 in the ACC. They got a gift when Michigan State was knocked out. We gladly took them and the free money against Mid Ten St. But the ball is coming to an end for Cinderella. 10* Money Bomb VIRGINIA CAVALIERS

Taking SYRACUSE here. I will tell you this. Not surprised in the least to see the Orange here. I mean. Doesn't seem like every year, the team that is not suppose to be in, and doesn't deserve a spot, always win that Round 1 game? Well, Syracuse took care of their part. Now, they have a legit shot at getting to the Sweet 16. Hello Mid Tennessee State. Clearly, at least in my eyes. One of, if not the best upset of all-time. I thought Sparty was robbed of a 1 seed and were Final Four material. Holy cow. Bracket Busted. But onto Sunday. So MDST is off the biggest game and win of their lives. They hit every FT down the stretch. Which is saying something cause as team they hit 60% from the stripe. One guy hitting better than 68% from the FT line. With 27 seconds left in the game, they hit 7 of 8 FTs missing the last with 5 seconds left and a tidy lead. They were 6-12 of before that. They won't catch lightning in a bottle again. Orange, as up and down as they were, are still an ACC team. With ACC talent. Fact is, Syracuse as much as a Cinderella underdog. They are they guys nobody wanted here. 8* Sure Shot SYRACUSE

Missouri Valley is a tough conference. These guys play anyone, anytime. Getting buckets like this the way they play defense. Sign me up. I like Shaka Smart. Did a great job at VCU.

Taking SOUTHERN here. Had these guys in their win to get here. Look. These guys are the last 2 teams on the seed list. Holy Cross ranking dead last. And why not. They had 10 wins before someone winning 4 in a row. But let's be honest here. I know in the past Holy Cross has been NCAA darlings. People. That was 2001,2002,2003. A long, long time ago. This is a bad team. They played Kansas, losing by 33 and Rhode Island, lost by 18. I think the bell sounds tonight. I expect Southern to come out hard here. In 2013, they gave the Zags a scare dropping a 64-58 game when Gonzaga was the 1 seed. A little bit more recent tourney experience. This year, they lost at Arkansas (18) and Memphis (5) and beat Mississippi State (4), Tulane (8) and Wyoming (10). Both teams know this is a winnable spot for them. Holy Cross might be in a 'better' conference, but I think the hungry Jaguars get us the win here. 5* Best Bet SOUTHERN JAGUARS
