Penn State +2.5 v. George Washington | | 74-68 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 9 m | Show |
Penn State already into its 7th game of the young season, with a 3-3 S/U and 2-2 ATS mark. The Nittany Lions have beaten Duquesne and then gave Duke all it could handle. PSU lost to Duke, 78-68 as a 19-point dog. With just three games left before Big 10 play, this is a critical road test for the Lions. The Lions don't start a senior on this squad and in fact look to three freshman starts and two Juniors. Meanwhile. George Washington started the season 3-0 before losing back-to-back contests in the CBE Classic to Georgia and UAB. Not much expectation for this year's edition of the Colonials, with three starters gone from last year and the team picked 8th in the conference. This game comes down to the speed and pressure of Penn State against the size of George Washington. This is an important road game for Penn State if they hope to prove worthy of moving forward. Take the visitor here in Penn State. |

Gonzaga v. Florida +3 | | 77-72 |
Loss | -102 | 9 h 26 m | Show |
Excellent 2nd round matchup here in the Advocare Invitational between Gonzaga and Florida. Gonzaga had to travel all the way across the country for this tournament, while Florida is in its own backyard. Gonzaga is 4-0 S/U and 0-1 ATS thus far. The Zags haven't played anyone of consequence yet and failed to cover the 27.5 point line in their 82-62 win over Quinnipiac last night. Florida brings a 5-0 S/U and 3-1 ATS mark into tonight's contest. The Gators have spread wins over Mercer, Belmont and Seton Hall. Gonzaga is ranked 11th in the country and have won their first four games by an average of 25.8 ppg. This will be the first big text for Gonzaga this season, while Florida can gain some national recognition with a win. I also like that Florida is close to home while Gonzaga is playing about as far away in the contiguous states. Take the points here with Florida. |

Temple +13 v. West Virginia | | 81-77 |
Win | 100 | 2 h 16 m | Show |
Temple enters today's NIT Season-Tip off winning last night's opening round contest against Florida State, 89-86. The cover makes Temple 4-0 against the spread so far this year. The Owls had to overcome an 18-point deficit in the 2nd half to beat FSU. Freshman Quinton Rose led the team with 26-points. West Virginia is 4-0 S/U and 1-0 ATS to start the season. The Mountaineers also played last night and beat Illinois, 89-57. WVU has been hitting very well from both the field and 3-point land. However, their one weakness thus far is shooting free throws, where they are just 60.4% thus far. WVU laying 13 points here and if they have trouble from the free stripe, they won't cover this big of a number. Play Temple. |

11/24 12:00 PM CB (517) STANFORD VS (518) MIAMI FLORIDA. Take: (518) MIAMI FLORIDA Reason: A long road trip for Stanford to Kissimmee Florida and a short one for Miami. The Cardinal are 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Miami's mix of five returners and four freshmen have meshed well with the newcomers. Five-star recruits Dewan Huell (13.0 points, 66.7 percent shooting, 6.7 rebounds), a 6-11 forward, and Brown (9.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists.) have lived up to expectations along with Australian guard DJ Vasiljevic (11.7 points, 9-of-18 on 3-pointers).

11/22 07:30 PM EST CB (519) TOLEDO VS (520) MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE. Take: CBB Shocker of the Month, (519) TOLEDO Reason: Toledo is playing well and the Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600. The Rockets have rebounded from a 77-76 setback at Saint Joseph's in their season opener with a 103-98 win over Youngstown State and an 82-78 triumph at Wright State. Senior guard Jonathan Williams was named MAC West Division Player of the Week on Monday after averaging 18.0 ppg, 16.5 rpg and 4.5 apg with a 57.7 FG% (15-of-26). Head Coach Tod Kowalczyk is in his seventh season at UT and has orchestrated a dramatic turnaround since his arrival in 2010. He has guided the Midnight Blue and Gold to a 100-66 (.602) win-loss mark over the last six years. They face a Middle Tennessee State squad that is off a 74-63 loss to Tennessee State as 8-point chalk. The Blue Raiders are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600. Play Toledo.

The Central Michigan Chippewas are 4-0, 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games. Marcus Keene scored 36 points in another sensational performance in his first season as a Chippewa as CMU posted an 88-77 victory over Pepperdine on Monday at H-E-B Center. Play Central Michigan.

Alabama -2.5 v. Valparaiso | | 60-68 |
Loss | -105 | 12 h 6 m | Show |
Most clubs like to pad their early season schedule with small schools or Div 2 clubs. Not so much for Alabama, as they have already faced Dayton and Ball State to open the season. The Tide is 2-1 both S/U and ATS, with their loss coming to Dayton, 77-72. Alabama has been firing from long range, averaging 9.3 three-point field goals per game. The Tide also have a very good bench, evidenced by their bench output equaling Ball State's total points in their matchup. Valparaiso is 3-1 S/U and 0-2 to start the season. Their one test came at Oregon, where they lost 76-54 as 12 point dogs. Short line here tonight with Alabama laying just two-points. I like the Tide with their sharp shooters hitting early. Play Alabama. |

Oklahoma State -3.5 v. Connecticut | | 98-90 |
Win | 100 | 9 h 15 m | Show |
Opening round of the Maui Invitational has Oklahoma State taking on U Conn. Ok State is 3-0, roughing up some Div II schools and scoring at least 102 in each game. Their first real test comes today against U Conn. The Huskies also padded their opening three games with fluff matchups. However, no one told those opponents they were to roll over and lose. U Conn lost two of three, including home losses to Wagner and Northeastern. Not very impressed early on here with this U Conn club. We only have to lay two here with Ok State and that is a gift I can't pass up. Play Oklahoma State. |
11-21-16 |
UC-Davis +1.5 v. CS Sacramento | | 81-72 |
Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show |
While these two schools won't garner much attention from the national polls, UC Davis has already made some waves. Davis pulled a nice upset win over Santa Clara as a 5.5 point dog and then beat a decent Northern Arizona club. Davis is 3-1 S/U and 2-1 ATS to start the season. Sacramento State is 1-2 S/U and 0-2 ATS to start the season. The Hornets won their home opener with a win over Antelope Valley, 82-60. The Hornets will have to do a better job tonight defending the three-point line, after they have allowed a .500 shooting from beyond the arc thus far. These clubs have a big history against each other, but on a neutral court my nod goes to UC Davis. |
11-21-16 |
Colorado v. Notre Dame -2.5 | | 83-89 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 14 m | Show |
Semifinals of the Legends Classic from Brooklyn, NY has Colorado facing off against Notre Dame. Notre Dame had not trouble with their opening trio of games against Bryant, Seattle and Loyola Maryland, winning each contest by at least 30 points. Colorado had similar results, beating Sacramento State, Seattle and LA Monroe in easy fashion. Both of these clubs are off the National Ranking Radar, but that could change after today. Notre Dame doesn't turn the ball over, ranking fourth in fewest turnovers per game. They are also 2nd in the country in assist to turnover ratio with a 3.4 rating. In a close match up like this, ball control could be the difference, and that goes to the Irish. Play Notre Dame. |

Win | 100 | 13 h 41 m | Show |
11/20 07:00 PM CB (527) LONG BEACH STATE VS (528) UCLA. Take: (528) UCLA Reason: A couple of cross town teams face off tonight when Long Beach travels to Westwood to face UCLA. Long Beach opened the season with a win over Cal State LA, 95-59. That is where the good news ends though. Since then, the 49ers are 0-3 against powerhouse Wichita State, North Carolina and Louisville. LBS was outscored in those three games by a 273-178. Meanwhile, UCLA brings a 3-0 S/U record into tonight's contest. The Bruins have scored 119, 102 and 88 in their three games. While the season is still young, these are the kind of blowout wins we look for. UCLA will romp in this matchup. Play UCLA

Loss | -110 | 10 h 59 m | Show |
11/20 04:30 PM CB (535) XAVIER VS (536) NORTHERN IOWA. Take: (536) NORTHERN IOWA Reason: There is good news and bad for Xavier. The good is that the club is 4-0 S/U to start the season and have scored at least 83 points in each contest. The bad news is the fact that the club's outstanding backcourt has struggled from beyond the three point arc, averaging just 29.6 percent. Meanwhile, Northern Iowa also comes into this contest undefeated, 3-0. Northern Iowa has a very nice OT win over Oklahoma thus far. The Panthers, unlike Xavier, has hit 38.7% from the three point line. The final of the Puerto Rico Tip off features two fine clubs, but I like the points here with a Northern Iowa club that can win outright. Take the points with Northern Iowa.

The Jackrabbits lost at Cal, 82-53 and then lost at UC Irvine, 73-58. They got their first win at home last game over Wayne State, 80-72. Today they play at Wyoming, a Mountain West club that is 2-0 S/U and 1-0 ATS in it first two games. The Cowboys easily beat Western State in their home opener 88-49, and then won a close game at Montana, 73-72. Wyoming has five players averaging in double figures, led by Jason McManamen's 14.5 ppg. Not much expected out of the Cowboys this year, with a preseason prediction of 10th in the division. Still, they should have plenty to beat an overmatched South Dakota squad here today. Take Wyoming. |

Loss | -105 | 9 h 15 m | Show |
11/17 08:00 PM CB (739) SAN DIEGO VS (740) UCLA. Take: (740) UCLA Reason: A difficult spot for San Diego, off a 9-21 campaign, stepping up in class to face the Pac 12 here.

Davis (11.1 points, 6.2 rebounds) has a size advantage, while 6-7 forward Jalen Jones is second on the team in scoring (15.4), tops in rebounding (7.1) and should take advantage of his quickness.

Reason: Bailout Game : Washington exploded for 107 points in their opening NIT win over Long Beach State. Don't expect them to come anywhere near that tonight.

They also lead in field goal defense (36.9%) and 30% from 3-point stripe. The Huskies are just 4-7 S/U in their last 11 games. San Diego State will turn this contest into a half court game. They are 8-2 S/U their last 10 games and 6-4 ATS. Huskies just can't be trusted away from home, especially against such a good defensive team in San Diego State. I'll take the home club here. |
