11-11-22 | Princeton v. Navy | 73-74 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Princeton (ATS) I like the Princeton Tigers to win this game against the Navy Midshipmen on Friday. Even though they opened the season up with a loss, the Tigers are still a very strong team. Led by big man Toast Evbuomwan, this team can be deadly if their shooters are knocking down their shots. Navy won on the road, but gave up 9 offensive rebounds to a team in William and Mary who aren't the greatest. I expect Princeton to bounce back on Friday Night in the Asheville Championship. T.M. Prediction: 76-67 Princeton. | |||||||
11-10-22 | Southern Illinois v. Oklahoma State OVER 137.5 | 61-60 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Southern Illinois/OK ST OVER I am on the OVER in the Southern Illinois Salukis vs Oklahoma State Cowboys game on Thursday. While both teams were able to win their opening games pretty comfortably, I believe that both teams will have early and often success scoring in this game. Southern Illinois was able to put up 94 points in their game on Monday. Although they scored that many points, they spread the scoring around and didn't have a really main bucket getter. That should cause some troubles for the Cowboys defense that gave up 44 points in the 2nd half to a Texas Arlington team that isn't the greatest. However, OK ST comes into this game as nearly a double digit favorite and I expect guard Bryce Thompson to lead the Cowboys to a 2-0 start. Expect lots of points here. T.M. Prediction: 79-68 OK ST | |||||||
11-10-22 | Towson v. Massachusetts -1 | Top | 67-55 | Loss | -115 | 27 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UMASS I like the Massachusetts Minutemen to win this game against the Towson Tigers on Thursday. Both teams opened the season up on Monday with wins. UMASS, however, has a very good backcourt of Fernandez and Weeks that should cause some troubles to this Tigers defense. Towson struggled against Albany in their opener. As a 15pt favorite, the Tigers were only able to put up 67 points in a 5pt win. UMASS plays in a tougher conference, so I expect them to dominate here at home on Thursday evening. T.M. Prediction: 81-71 UMASS. | |||||||
11-09-22 | Florida A&M v. Portland -22 | Top | 54-91 | Win | 100 | 32 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Portland I like the Portland Pilots to win this game against the Florida A&M Rattlers on Wednesday. Both of these two games opened up their season on Monday. Portland won their game 89-62, while the Rattlers got killed 80-45. Now, the Pilots will be back at home in a big game to keep their perfect start going here. The Pilots are a team filled with many great 2-way wing players that love to run the floor. In their opener, they able to score 21 points off turnovers which will be key in many games this year. With tougher games coming, and considering how good they look in the first game, I expect the Pilots to have no problem here on Wednesday. Take Portland and get ready for another blowout. T.M. Prediction: 83-48 Portland. | |||||||
11-09-22 | IUPU-Indianapolis v. Drake UNDER 131 | 48-80 | Win | 100 | 27 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: IUPUI/Drake UNDER I am on the UNDER in the IUPUI Jaguars vs Drake Bulldogs game on Wednesday. While this game should be a blowout, I believe that Drake's defense will completely shut down this Jaguars team here. In their first game of the season on Monday, IUPUI was able to only put up 39 points in a 49 point loss. Now, they'll go up against Drake who is the favorite to win the Missouri Valley Conference. Although Drake loves offense, they are bringing in the 5th oldest team in NCAA Div 1, into this season. That should help them slow the game down slightly. When the Bulldogs are up huge, expect them to pull their starters and for this to stay UNDER in total. T.M. Prediction: 77-36 Drake. | |||||||
11-09-22 | Hampton v. James Madison -15.5 | 58-106 | Win | 100 | 26 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: James Madison I like the James Madison Dukes to win this game against the Hampton Pirates on Wednesday. Fresh off of their opening day destruction against Valley Forge (123-38,) the Dukes welcome the Pirates to Harrisonburg VA in an in-state matchup. Last season, Hampton was just 9-19 on the year, and finished in the bottom half of the Colonial Athletic Conference. JMU has some very talented players that should be able to score double-digit points with ease, just like they did in their opening game. Noah Freidel, Takal Molson and the freshman Jerrell Roberson are all guys to watch here on Wednesday Night. Expect another blowout for the Dukes as they look to build on what has already been a very strong start to their 2022-23 campaign. T.M. Prediction: 87-61 JMU | |||||||
11-08-22 | Georgia Southern v. San Jose State UNDER 134.5 | Top | 48-63 | Win | 100 | 25 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Georgia Southern/San Jose State UNDER I am on the UNDER in the Georgia Southern Eagles vs San Jose State Spartans game on Tuesday. Georgia Southern has some very talented defenders on their team. A season ago, they gave up just 65.62 ppg and had some very low scoring games. SJSU has also seen a lot of UNDER's in the past. Last season, the Spartans only averaged 64.29 ppg. Now San Jose St might be the favorite in this game, but I think that the Eagles are going to shut down their offense and for this to be a low scoring battle on Tuesday night. T.M. Prediction: 59-56 Georgia Southern | |||||||
11-07-22 | Northwestern State v. Texas Tech -27.5 | 49-73 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Texas Tech I like the Texas Tech Red Raiders to win this game against the Northwestern State Demons on Monday. Last season, Texas Tech had a very stacked team that could have possibly won the entire thing if they didn't lose to Duke in a battle. This season, they are back with some new faces and I expect them to be very strong once again. Last year, the Demons went just 9-23. They struggled even more on the road as they were only 2-13. I know it's a huge spread but I still don't see it being enough as the Red Raiders should absolutely dominate this game from start to finish. T.M. Prediction: 84-42 Red Raiders. | |||||||
04-04-22 | North Carolina v. Kansas OVER 153 | Top | 69-72 | Loss | -110 | 38 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UNC/Kansas OVER. I am on the over in the UNC vs Kansas game on Monday. UNC has looked good in this tournament so far, knocking off some really good opposing teams this year and they have been putting up a ton of points in the process. They have won 5 games in a row in this tournament and they have knocked off the 2nd seeded Duke, 4th seeded UCLA, and 1st seeded Baylor. I think they are going to continue on their hot streak here in the finals and I expect their offense to be on point like it has been throughout the entire tournament. They have put up 90+ points 2 times in their 5 games, 1 of those times was against the 1st seeded Baylor, and they just put up 80+ points in their most recent game against Duke in the final four. They have been able to hold down the offenses of the lower seeded teams in their games, keeping a few of them at low scores, but they struggled on the defensive end in their 2 games against the 2nd seeded and 1st seeded teams they faced. I think UNC is also going to struggle to keep Kansas off the board here and they are going to have to resort to their offense to keep up with Kansas in this game. Kansas has looked really good on defense in their games lately and they just held Villanova to 65 points in their most recent game but Kansas still managed to put up 80+ points in that game. As a 1st seeded team, Kansas hasn't had to face a lot of really good teams on their journey to this game and UNC is probably the best team they will have faced, other than Villanova. Villanova was a very defensive team though and UNC is the opposite focusing more on their offense in games and putting up a ton of points in those games. I think Kansas is going to struggle on the defensive end here to keep UNC off the board and I expect them to put up more offense to keep UNC down in this game. Kansas has also been really hot from the 3 lately and I think that is going to help surge them into a bigger lead which will force UNC to put up more offense to make a comeback. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 85-79 Kansas. | |||||||
04-02-22 | North Carolina v. Duke -3.5 | Top | 81-77 | Loss | -116 | 63 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Duke. I like Duke to cover the spread in this game against UNC on Saturday. Duke has looked really good in their games lately and I think they have been getting better and better as the tournament goes on. They have already knocked off 2 good teams in their 2 most recent games, winning against Arkansas and Texas Tech. Both were teams that looked really good on defense going into their games against Duke and they both came out losing in the end as Duke turned it up a notch in the final minutes of both games. They really had their foot down on Arkansas for that entire game and they went into the half with a 12 point lead, completely dominating that game from start to finish. UNC has also looked really good in their games lately, knocking off some big teams too like Baylor and UCLA. They took out Saint Peter's in their most recent game and that was a game that they dominated from the start, taking a 20 point lead into the half and winning by 20 points in the end. UNC has looked good in these games but they also haven't had the toughest path to this game either. Baylor was their toughest challenge while UCLA was already struggling coming into the tournament and they even caught a huge break in the Elite 8 with Saint Peter's, even though Saint Peter's was playing very well they were still a 15th seed and made it very easy on UNC to win that previous game. There has been a lot of emotions with this Duke team this year since it is the last season for Coach K and the team would like to send him into retirement with 1 more national title under his belt. I think the Duke players are going to be very motivated in this game with the championship game within reach now, and they already let UNC ruin the final home game for Coach K ever since they had a 10+ point lead in that game and managed to blow it, losing by 13 points on their home court to their own rival. I think they are still going to be fuming from that game and I expect them to give their best performance of the tournament here to boost their team into the finals. I think Duke is the better team here and I think they have the motivation and momentum to dominate in this game. I like Duke to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 84-74 Duke. | |||||||
04-02-22 | Villanova v. Kansas OVER 132.5 | 65-81 | Win | 100 | 61 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Villanova/Kansas OVER. I am on the over in the Villanova vs Kansas game on Saturday. Villanova hasn't been involved in a lot of high scoring affairs lately and they have really been turning up the heat on defense in their most recent games but I don't think this will be a game where Villanova will be able to dominate the game with their defensive abilities. They have done a good job holding their opposing teams in this tournament to less than 60 points in their 2 most recent games and even in the game before that they held Ohio State to just 61 points but I think Kansas is the strongest team they will have seen yet and I expect Kansas to take over this game with their offense like they did against Miami in the 2nd half of their previous game. Villanova does have a good offense and can put up a ton of points when they need to. They have very good shooters on their team and I think they can try to keep up with Kansas on the offensive if the pace picks up a bit in this game. Kansas has already had 3/4 of their tournament games here where they put up 75+ points in the game but they weren't really blowing teams out by 10+ points either and they have been giving up almost as many points as they have been scoring in a lot of their games. Kansas was trailing at the half in their most recent game but they managed to outscore Miami in the 2nd half 47-15. I think Villanova will find ways to put up points on them in this game but I also think they are going to be chasing Kansas for a majority of this game. With the stakes so high now and the Championship game just around the corner here, I don't see Kansas doing what they have done in their previous few games and I expect them to come out strong right from the start here. I see their being a lot of points in this game so I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 79-71 Kansas. | |||||||
03-29-22 | Washington State v. Texas A&M -1.5 | 56-72 | Win | 100 | 16 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Texas A&M. I like Texas A&M to cover the spread against Washington State in this game on Tuesday. Texas A&M has looked really good in their games lately and this huge run they've been on lately all stems back to their conference tournament. They ended their regular season playing very hot with 5 wins in a row but once they got into their conference tournament, they started pulling off big upsets but just fell short in the finals. They still managed to win against Florida and upset both Arkansas and Auburn who are both teams ranked in the top 25 and made the NCAA tournament this year. Texas A&M has won 10/11 of their previous 11 games and I think they are going to continue their crazy run here. Their only loss was to Tennessee in the finals of their conference tournament and with that loss they lost out on a chance to go to the NCAA tournament but now they are playing in the NIT instead and they have continued to dominate in their games lately. They have won both of their games here by 10+ points and I expect them to continue that dominance in this game and carry over their momentum from their games lately. Washington State has also been really hot lately winning 3 games in a row and they have won 7/8 of their previous 8 games but the quality of the opposing teams they have been facing have not been as good as the teams Texas A&M has had to face. Washington State has been dominating in their games lately too but they have faced teams like BYU and Santa Clara in this tournament to get to this game and even when they were on a big run to end the regular season, a lot of their wins were against teams like California and Oregon State. Texas A&M has had a much tougher road to this game and they also played in a much stronger conference all year, playing against and winning against better teams in their conference. I think that is going to help them in this game and I expect Texas A&M to continue playing the way they have here. This game is for all the marbles and I don't see Texas A&M slowing down now when they have a chance to go home with something after not making it to the NCAA tournament this year at all. I like Texas A&M to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 76-66 Texas A&M. | |||||||
03-28-22 | Coastal Carolina v. South Alabama UNDER 138 | 69-68 | Win | 100 | 12 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Coastal Carolina/South Alabama UNDER. I am on the under in the Coastal Carolina vs South Alabama game on Monday. Coastal Carolina has looked good on the defensive end in their games lately and I think they are going to keep this a low scoring game. They haven't scored 70+ points in 3/4 of their previous 4 games but their defensive effort has been great in these games. They have held opposing teams to less than 70 points in 5/6 of their previous 6 games and I think they are going to continue with their great defensive effort in this game. South Alabama has played in some higher scoring games lately but for most of the year they were a low scoring team that looked good on the defensive end too. Their final 3 games to end the regular season were all low scoring games where neither team reached 70 points and only 1 team in any of those games put up 65+ points. These 2 teams also play in the same conference so they are familiar with each other and they did play each other 1 time earlier this year. South Alabama won that game 71-68 and that was a road game for them. South Alabama is home here and I think they will dominate the game on their home floor a bit more than they did in that game and I think they are going to shut down Coastal Carolina's offense more on their home court here. I expect both teams to play a more defensive style in this game so I like the under here. T.M. Prediction: 66-61 South Alabama. | |||||||
03-27-22 | St. Peter's v. North Carolina OVER 136.5 | Top | 49-69 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 59 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Saint Peter's/UNC OVER. I am on the over in the Saint Peter's vs UNC game on Sunday. Saint Peter's has looked really good in their games lately and they have made it to the elite 8 as a 15th seeded team for the 1st time in NCAA history. They have put together a great run that has shown off their great defensive effort but not every one of their games are won like that and they have had to put up a ton of points in a few of their games already to compete and stay alive in this tournament. In the round of 64 they put up 85 points to take Kentucky out in OT and in the round of 32 they put up 70 points to upset Murray State too. Their most recent game only had a total of 131 points in it but they were playing Purdue in that game who is a more defensive team than some of what they have seen so far but UNC is definitely not a defensive team and I think Saint Peter's is going to have to put up more points here just to keep up with them. They have the story and the cinderella magic behind them though and I expect them to use that momentum to put up a good fight here and keep this game close like they have been in every game they have played in this tournament. UNC has also looked good lately in their games, they are a much higher seed at 8th so their run hasn't been as special as Saint Peter's has but UNC has still taken down some very good teams and have upset the opposing team in their 2 most recent games. They have put up 90+ points in 2/3 of their 3 games in this tournament and they still put up 70+ points in their most recent game. I don't think Saint Peter's defensive effort will be able to hold down the offense of UNC for too long so I expect Saint Peter's to put up points here to keep up. UNC hasn't held any teams to less than 60 points in the tournament this year and I think Peter's won't have a tough time trying to put up their own points here. I expect a ton of scoring from both here, I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 77-72 UNC. | |||||||
03-27-22 | Miami-FL v. Kansas -5.5 | 50-76 | Win | 100 | 8 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas. I like Kansas to cover the spread against Miami-FL in this game on Sunday. Kansas has looked really good in their games lately and I think they will carry on their momentum into this game. Kansas has won 8 games in a row now and they are the only 1st seeded team left in the tournament. They just won against Providence in the sweet 16 by 5 points but they had control in that entire game and led for most of it. Kansas has looked really good with their defensive play in particular and they haven't been giving up a ton of points to opposing teams lately. They have given up 65 points or less in 6/7 of their previous 7 games and they have won a majority of those games by 10+ points. Miami has also looked good in their games lately too but I think this is where the end of the line is for them. They have 1 very impressive win over Auburn in the round of 32 by 15+ points but even Auburn was not playing their best in this tournament and they looked shaky near the end of the year. Their other 2 wins were against USC and Iowa State, both are teams that weren't even playing great before this tournament started. Miami was struggling to win games near the end of their regular season too, they won a lot of close games by a few points and although they have looked much better in their 2 most recent games, they will still have a lot on their hands with Kansas in this game. I think Kansas will be able to shut down Miami with their defensive effort and I expect Kansas to put them away here. I think Kansas will take an early lead here and once they are ahead they will hold onto their lead with their great defense and make it very tough for Miami to come back on them. I like Kansas to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 69-60 Kansas. | |||||||
03-26-22 | Arkansas v. Duke -3.5 | 69-78 | Win | 100 | 17 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Duke. I like Duke to cover the spread against Arkansas in this game on Saturday. Duke has looked good in their games lately and they just keep winning games no matter how close they are in the game they manage to pull away at the end. They have won 3 games in a row now and their wins have been getting closer in score the deeper they have gone into this tournament but I think they are riding the pure emotions of being part of the final season for Mike Krzyzewski and I think they are going to keep riding that emotion here. These players know that as soon as they lose a game his career is over so they are doing everything they can to leave it all on the court and send him home with 1 final National Championship. They had to battle in their game against Michigan State and couldn't pull away until the end but they stepped up in the final minutes of that game and pulled ahead when they needed to. The same thing happened in their most recent game too since they were trailing Texas tech the entire time but again, they stepped up at the end and took the lead sealing their fate. I think they have a lot of momentum on their side considering the story line and I expect them to play at their best here to keep on their deep run here. Arkansas also has a lot of momentum after their win against Gonzaga but they haven't looked great in the 1st 2 rounds of this tournament with 2 close wins by less than 5 points. Their win against Gonzaga took a huge defensive effort and they had to grind out that entire game because as soon as they let up with their defense Gonzaga would storm back and take the lead again. I think this might be a bit of a let down spot for Arkansas since they were already looking shaky in their previous games and I think Duke will be tough to stop here now that they are getting so close to the final four again. I expect Duke to turn on the jets here and have their best game of the tournament here. I like Duke to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 78-70 Duke. | |||||||
03-26-22 | Houston v. Villanova UNDER 128.5 | 44-50 | Win | 100 | 14 h 51 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston/Villanova UNDER. I am on the under in the Houston vs Villanova game on Saturday. Houston has looked really good with their defensive effort in their games lately. They were putting up a ton of points in their games before this tournament started but a lot of those games that they were scoring 80+ points in were games that they were also blowing out the other team in. I don't think that is going to happen here and I expect this game to be much closer in score. Houston has really buckled down on defense in their 2 most recent games and I expect them to continue playing with that style since it has been working for them lately. They held Illinois to 53 points in the round of 32 and then they held Arizona to 60 points in the sweet 16. That is really impressive since Arizona was a number 1 seed and they have a very strong offense that is averages 80+ points per game so to hold them to just 60 points is very impressive, especially in a game that means so much. I think Houston is going to give another great effort on defense in this game and I expect them to shut down Villanova here. Villanova has also looked really good on defense in their games lately and they play a very defensive style of basketball in their games too. They haven't given up more than 61 points in any of their NCAA tournament games this year and I think this is going to be another game where they give a great defensive effort since Houston does have a strong offense that can put up points. Villanova's shooting was also terrible in their most recent game and if they continue to shoot like that here, they won't be able to score many points on Houston here. I think this is going to be a close defensive battle that both teams try to grind out to a win with a hard effort here. I expect this to be a low scoring game like many of the games both teams have been involved in lately. I am on the under here. T.M. Prediction: 62-57 Houston. | |||||||
03-25-22 | Iowa State v. Miami-FL UNDER 133.5 | 56-70 | Win | 100 | 17 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Iowa State/Miami UNDER. I am on the under in the Iowa State vs Miami-FL game on Friday. Iowa State hasn't been involved in many high scoring affairs lately and a big part of that is due to their great defensive play. They have made it through 2 rounds of this NCAA tournament and they haven't given up 55+ points in either game. They aren't scoring a lot of points themselves either since they haven't even put up 60+ points in either game yet. Iowa State is not a very strong team and they probably shouldn't have made it as far as they have this year but their strategy is very clear and it seems to be one that has been working for other teams too since the teams that keep progressing happen to be teams that play good defense and give a very good defensive effort in every game. I think Iowa State is going to have to give another great defensive effort here if they want to make it past Miami but Miami is not really a powerhouse kind of team either. Miami also gives a really good defensive effort in their games too and I think both teams are going to play hard on the defensive end here. Miami hasn't given up more than 66 points in either NCAA tournament game and they didn't even put up 70+ points themselves in 1 of those games. I think Miami will play hard defensively here and will put a stop to the already weak offense of Iowa State. Iowa State hasn't been an offensive team all year though so they will play true to themselves here and give a great defensive effort because they know that is the only way they win this game. I don't think either team is really strong offensively and I expect the defensive plays to take over in this game. I like the under here. T.M. Prediction: 63-59 Miami. | |||||||
03-25-22 | North Carolina v. UCLA -2 | 73-66 | Loss | -105 | 16 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UCLA. I like UCLA to cover the spread against UNC in this game on Friday. UCLA has looked really good in their games lately and I think they are going to continue on their deep run here since they have been getting better in each game. UCLA was in the final four last year and now that they have had a little taste of going 2 rounds deep, I expect them to keep rolling through and make a big push for the final four again. UCLA was not able to capture the win over Arizona in their conference tournament but they still ended their year with 5 wins in a row before losing in that game, and they dominated in a lot of those wins. They struggled a bit in their round of 64 game but they made it through Akron and they looked a lot better in their game against Saint Mary's, winning that game by 10+ points. This group has been playing a lot better and with their experience from last year's run, I think they will be tough to stop here now that they have gotten going. There has been a lot of crazy upsets in the tournament up to this point but this is where the truly great teams start to emerge out of the sweet 16 and I think UCLA is the team to do so here. UNC has also looked really good in their games lately, destroying Marquette by 30+ points in the round of 64 and then upsetting Baylor in the round of 32. They didn't look great near the end of that game against Baylor though and they were lucky to escape with the win since Baylor ran out of fuel at the end there. UNC had a 20+ lead over Baylor in that game but they managed to blow that lead and ended up in OT with Baylor in a game they should've never went to OT in. UNC has had a good run but I think this is where it comes to an end. I like UCLA to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 83-77 UCLA. | |||||||
03-25-22 | North Carolina v. UCLA OVER 141.5 | Top | 73-66 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UNC/UCLA OVER. I am on the over in the UNC vs UCLA game on Friday. UCLA has been putting up a lot of points in their games lately but they are also the kind of team that has played up and has played down to their level of competition all year. They put up 70+ points in their most recent game, blowing out Saint Mary's as UCLA finally found their groove in the tournament. They won their game in the round of 64 by only 4 points though and they only put up 57 points in that game since they held Akron to 53. This has happened before though and even in their conference tournament final this year, UCLA lost 84-76 to Arizona and that was a game that they were leading in the 1st half and then had multiple lead changes in the 2nd half. I think UCLA looked a lot better in the round of 32 and now that they have the taste of the sweet 16 in their mouth, I expect them to put up a lot of points here and try to keep themselves alive. UNC has looked really good lately too and they just knocked out the 1st seed Baylor in their most recent game. They have been putting up a lot of points in their games too, putting up 90+ points in both of their games in the NCAA tournament so far. UNC has looked great on offense and I think this will be another game where they come out hot and try to put up a lot of points. I expect UCLA will match their energy and put up a lot of points themselves to match UNC but UNC hasn't looked good on the defensive end in their games and letting Baylor come back from 20+ points in their previous game really exposed that. I think that the lack of defense by UNC will be the difference here and I think UCLA will take control at some point causing UNC to put up more points to keep up. Either way, I see this game having a ton of points in it from both teams. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 83-77 UCLA. | |||||||
03-25-22 | St. Peter's +12.5 v. Purdue | 67-64 | Win | 100 | 13 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Saint Peter's. I like Saint Peter's to cover the spread against Purdue in this game on Friday. Saint Peter's has looked really good in their games lately and they have been going on a very nice where they have kicked out some big teams already. Their NCAA tournament started with a huge upset over Kentucky as 18 point dogs in the round of 64 and then they went into the round of 32 as dogs again against Murray State but they still pulled off yet another upset, beating Murray State by 10 points. They didn't finish 1st in their conference this year but they went on a huge run at the end of the year getting really hot and they were able to steal the bid in their conference tournament. Saint Peter's has won 9 games in a row now and I think they can keep up playing at a high level here. Their play has been elevated since coming to this tournament and they have the momentum of the upset story cinderella magic here since they are the lowest seed left in the sweet 16. I think the pressure is on Purdue here since they are the favorite and the bigger school and they haven't even looked that great in their games lately. They have looked better in their 2 most recent games with wins by 10+ points in both, but they ended the year off with some bad losses and even in their wins they were just barely escaping those games. I think Saint Peter's has the momentum and the magic on their side here to at least keep this a close game. Purdue has looked better lately but they still haven't been blowing out many teams lately and I think Saint Peter's will stick around in this game since all the pressure is on Purdue here. I like Saint Peter's to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 76-70 Purdue. | |||||||
03-24-22 | Houston v. Arizona -1.5 | 72-60 | Loss | -108 | 16 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arizona. I like Arizona to cover the spread against Houston in this game on Thursday. Arizona has looked really good in their games lately and I think they are going to carry over their momentum into this game. Arizona just beat TCU in their most recent game by 5 points but that game went to OT after Arizona was trailing late but managed to grind out a way to tie the game and force the OT. Arizona did look a bit shaky in that game but they got their act together and managed to grind it out. I don't see Arizona blowing out Houston here since they are a really good team too, but this spread is really small and when it comes to picking a winner here, I have to go with Arizona. Both of these teams had similar records during the regular season but Arizona still has less losses all year and they also played a much stronger conference than Houston did. Houston was really the only ranked team in their conference for most of the year while the Pac-12 always had at least 3 teams that were ranked in the top 25 and the quality of the competition was a lot better too. Arizona has won 8 games in a row now and I don't see them slowing down now that they are getting so close to the prize. I expect Arizona to turn up the jets in this game and try to get a better handle on the game from the start. Houston just kicked Illinois out in their most recent game and even though Houston won that game by 10+ points, they struggled to pull away from Illinois in the 1st half and even when they had come out and gained a big lead from the start, they blew that lead by half and were only winning by a few points. Mathurin and Koloko have been too hot for Arizona at the moment and I don't think Houston has the players to defend these 2 with how good they have looked lately. I think this is going to be a very good game but in the end Arizona is the better team and I have to go with them here after the year they have put together. I like Arizona to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 76-68 Arizona. | |||||||
03-24-22 | Texas Tech v. Duke UNDER 137.5 | 73-78 | Loss | -110 | 58 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Texas Tech/Duke UNDER. I am on the under in the Texas Tech vs Duke game on Thursday. Texas Tech can put up a lot of points in their games when they want to but they usually only do it against teams they outmatch heavily. They put up 90+ points on Montana State in the round of 64 but when faced with a much tougher team in the round of 32, they kept a low scoring game winning 59-53 and they mainly won that game with their defense like they have in a lot of their games this year. Texas Tech always gives a great defensive effort in every game they play and I expect them to give their best effort in this game. Duke is the toughest team they will have faced in the tournament so far but they are also a very beatable team as we have seen many times this year and I think Texas Tech will play very hard on defense to keep Duke from scoring and they will try to shut them down that way. Duke does not get involved in a lot of low scoring games but they will when faced with a good defensive team. The last time they had a low scoring game was during the regular season when they beat Virginia 65-61 but Virginia would have been the only team since that game that gives as good an effort as Texas Tech does on playing defense. I think Duke will struggle to put up points in this game and I think Texas Tech will try to keep their offense pinned down this whole game. Texas Tech will not let this game get out of hand offensively and I think they will control the pace of play here keeping this a low scoring game. I like the under here. T.M. Prediction: 67-61 Texas Tech. | |||||||
03-24-22 | Michigan v. Villanova -4.5 | 55-63 | Win | 100 | 56 h 46 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Villanova. I like Villanova to cover the spread against Michigan in this game on Thursday. Villanova has looked really good in their games lately. They ended their year off playing great and they went on to win their conference tournament. They have won 7 games in a row now and they have looked great since starting the NCAA tournament here. They blew by the round of 64 with a 20 point win over Delaware and then they won over Ohio State by 10 points in the round of 32 but they took control of that game from the start and had a big lead by half. I think Villanova is going to continue their dominance in this tournament with another big win over Michigan here and Villanova is the kind of team that has repeated success making deep runs in this tournament over the past few years. Michigan has won 2 games in a row now as an 11th seeded team, they have a win over Colorado State that they were the favorite in anyway in the round of 64 and they pulled off a really good win over Tennessee in the round of 32 but Villanova is a lot better than both of those teams and I think Michigan will struggle here. Villanova can play defense really well just like Tennessee but their offense is a lot stronger than Tennessee's is and Villanova leads the country in free throw percentage this year. I think that is going to make a real difference in this game like it did for Kentucky and I expect Villanova to do what they have been doing lately and jump out to an early lead in this game never looking back. I think Michigan has gone as far as they can go here and I don't see them going any further. I like Villanova to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 77-67 Villanova. | |||||||
03-24-22 | Arkansas +9.5 v. Gonzaga | 74-68 | Win | 100 | 13 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arkansas. I like Arkansas to cover the spread against Gonzaga in this game on Thursday. Arkansas has looked good in their games lately and I think they can keep this game close enough to cover the spread here. Arkansas put together a really good season this year and they ended it going on a huge run where they won 6/7 of their final 7 games. They didn't play well in their conference tournament as they got stopped in their 2nd game by Texas A&M, who ended up in the finals anyway, but they have looked a lot better since then and I think they will challenge Gonzaga here. Both of Arkansas' wins in this tournament have been in closer games but they haven't played against bad teams either. They made it out of the round of 64 over a Vermont team that dominated their conference during the regular season, then they made it out of the round of 32 with another close win by 5 over New Mexico State who upset UConn in the 1st round. Arkansas has had to grind out their wins here but they have been able to put up points when needed and they have looked good on defense when the shots aren't going so i think they have some options here on how to defend Gonzaga in this game and I expect them to put up a very good fight here. Gonzaga may be the 1st ranked team heading into this tournament but they haven't looked great in their games and I think they will leave Arkansas plenty of opportunity to stay in this game. Gonzaga opened up their tournament with a 20+ point win over Georgia State in the round of 64 but they struggled in the 1st half of that game, only leading by 2 points at the half, and it wasn't until the 2nd half where they started to gain their footing. Even in their most recent game, they just escaped the round of 32 with a 4 point win over Memphis and they were losing that game by 10 points at the half. They had to throw together another big run in the 2nd half but this time they just barely had enough in them to make the comeback. I think this is going to be another game that they struggle in the 1st half and Arkansas plays defense a lot better than the 2 teams they have already seen. I think Arkansas will give them a very good challenge here and they should be able to stick around in this game with a good defensive effort. I don't see Gonzaga blowing anyone out with how they have looked in their games lately. I like Arkansas to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 84-78 Gonzaga. | |||||||
03-23-22 | Wake Forest v. Texas A&M OVER 146.5 | 52-67 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Wake Forest/Texas A&M OVER. I am on the over in the Wake Forest vs Texas A&M game on Wednesday. Wake Forest has looked good in their games lately and they have been involved in a lot of high scoring games. They have won 4/5 of their previous 5 games and they have been putting up a lot of points in the process. They have put up 70+ points in 5 games in a row but it would be 9 games in a row if it wasn't for 1 game where they put up 69 points. They have still been scoring a lot lately and I think they will do the same here. Wake Forest has to put up a ton of points in their games because they don't really give a very good defensive effort in their games. They have given up 70+ points in 8/9 of their previous 9 games and they haven't even been playing any great teams during that time. Texas A&M has been very hot lately and I don't see them getting shut down by a team that doesn't play hard on the defensive end. Texas A&M has looked really good in their games lately winning 9 in a row and I think they are going to continue playing the way they have lately. Texas A&M was starting to destroy teams near the end of their regular season and they were regularly putting up 70+ points and even 80+ points in their games. Texas A&M has been hot for a while now and they made a very good run in their SEC tournament just falling short in the finals. I think they will be motivated to win this tournament but Wake Forest is a strong team offensively and I expect them to put up points in this game too. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 82-76 Texas A&M. | |||||||
03-22-22 | Vanderbilt v. Xavier OVER 142.5 | 73-75 | Win | 100 | 15 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vanderbilt/Xavier OVER. I am on the over in the Vanderbilt vs Xavier game on Tuesday. Vanderbilt has been involved in a lot of high scoring games lately and they have been putting up a lot of points themselves in those games. They have put up 70+ points in 5 games in a row and a majority of those games had them put up 80+ points. They have also given up 70+ points in 3/4 of their previous 4 games and the 1 game that they didn't give up 70 points in during that time, they still gave up 68 points in it. I think this is going to be another game where they put up a ton of points and Xavier doesn't really give the best defensive effort in their games either. Their star player, Scotty Pippen Jr., was very hot in their most recent game scoring 30+ points himself and I think he is going to stay hot here trying to push his team to a win. I expect him to have another huge game and if he does then Vanderbilt will be putting up a ton of points here. Xavier has also been involved in a lot of high scoring games too and they have also been putting up a ton of points in their games lately. Xavier has put up 70+ points in 4 games in a row now and I think they will do the same on their home court here. Xavier has had to put up a lot of points in their games all year since their defensive effort hasn't been great in their games. Near the end of the regular season, they were giving up a ton of points in their games and gave up 80+ points in 3/4 games to end the season. They are used to putting up a lot of points in their games to win and they should have an easier time scoring on their home court here. Vanderbilt doesn't give a good defensive effort in their games either so I think both teams will put up a ton of points here. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 82-78 Xavier. | |||||||
03-20-22 | Texas v. Purdue -3 | 71-81 | Win | 100 | 15 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Purdue. I like Purdue to cover the spread against Texas in this game on Sunday. Purdue has looked a lot better in their games lately and I think they can carry over their momentum into this game and get another big win here. They have won 4/5 of their previous 5 games with their only loss coming to Iowa in the Big 10 finals. They weren't playing great near the end of their regular season but they have looked better lately winning more games and I think they have been waiting for this all year. They looked really good in their 1st game of the NCAA tournament with a 20+ point win over Yale and I expect them to dominate Texas in the same way here. Purdue has a really good team and I think they will have no troubles pulling away here if Jaden Ivey stays hot in this game like he was in their previous game. I think Purdue has the ability to make a deep run here and I don't think Texas looked that great in their 1st game anyway. Texas managed to get an 8 point win over Virginia Tech in the round of 64 but Virginia Tech was hanging with them in that game for most of it and it wasn't until near the end that Texas started to pull away in that game. Texas even ended their regular season with 3 losses in a row. They looked really good in a lot of their games against weaker teams but they had a common theme of losing whenever they had to face a ranked team in their conference. Purdue is also a ranked team and they were even ranked 1st in the country for a while during the year. I think Purdue has been waiting for this tournament all year and now that they are here I expect them to turn the jets on and make a deep run. I like Purdue to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 74-66 Purdue. | |||||||
03-20-22 | Notre Dame v. Texas Tech UNDER 132.5 | 53-59 | Win | 100 | 14 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: ND/Texas Tech UNDER. I am on the under in the Notre Dame vs Texas Tech game on Sunday. Notre Dame has been on a very good run lately since they had to play their way in to this tournament in the first four games and they pulled off the upset over Alabama in the round of 64 too. They have been involved in a lot of high scoring games lately too but I think this game will be a lot different. Texas Tech has the best defense that Notre Dame will have seen in their past few games. Texas Tech is also 1 of the better teams in the country, in the top 25 before this tournament started, and I don't think Texas Tech is going to let Notre Dame run away with it like they have in their previous games. Texas Tech looked really good in their round of 64 game, winning by 30+ points over Montana State. Notre Dame has been hot lately so there is no way that Texas Tech is putting up 97 points in this game but they could very well hold Notre Dame below 70 points like they did with Montana State and I think defense is going to play a big role in them winning this game. Texas Tech has held a lot of opposing teams to less than 70 points in their games this year and they have even held a few to less than 60 points. They don't normally put up a lot of points in their games because their defense is what has been winning their games for them. I think Texas Tech is going to be in control of this game and I expect them to dictate the pace of the game with their great defensive effort. I don't see either team putting up a ton of points in this game. I like the under here. T.M. Prediction: 64-54 Texas Tech. | |||||||
03-20-22 | Iowa State v. Wisconsin -4.5 | 54-49 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Wisconsin. I like Wisconsin to cover the spread against Iowa State in this game on Sunday. Wisconsin looked very good for most of the year but they started to slip right near the end of the regular season. They lost some bad games right before the Big 10 tournament and they even got knocked out in 1st round by Michigan State. They looked better in their most recent game though and I think now that they have broken out of their funk with a win, they should be able to build on that momentum and use it in this game to help them have better control in this game. They snuck by Colgate in the round of 64 with a 7 point win but they were tied at half and it wasn't until later in the game that they pulled away. They are catching a break here too since they have an 11 seed as their next obstacle and Iowa State did not put together a great season this year. Iowa State lost 3 games in a row before their win in the round of 64 and they lost some bad games during that time too. They have a 10+ point loss to Oklahoma State and a 30+ point loss to Texas Tech in their only Big 12 tournament game that they played in. They just snuck by LSU in the round of 64 with a 5 point win in a low scoring game and I think Iowa State is lucky to be here at all with how they have looked lately. Iowa State does play good defense in their games but LSU wasn't playing great coming into the tournament and I think it's going to be a lot harder for them to hold down Wisconsin's offense in this game like that. I expect Wisconsin to put up a lot of points here and I don't think Iowa State will be able to keep up with them. Wisconsin also plays good defense themselves and I think they will make it even harder for Iowa State to put up points here when they already don't have a strong offense. I like Wisconsin to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 77-67 Wisconsin. | |||||||
03-19-22 | New Mexico State +6.5 v. Arkansas | Top | 48-53 | Win | 100 | 16 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New Mexico State. I like New Mexico State to cover the spread against Arkansas in this game on Saturday. New Mexico State has been rolling lately with 4 wins in a row and they started their tournament off on the right foot with a huge upset win over UConn in the 1st round. They were in total control of that game since they had a 10 point lead by halftime and they hung on to it the whole game, going on to win by 7 points. I think New Mexico State has a lot of momentum on their side here and I didn't like how Arkansas looked in their 1st round game either. Arkansas snuck out of their 1st round game with a 4 point win over Vermont who is a really good team but they are still seeded 13th for a reason and I thought Arkansas should have won that game by more. New Mexico State already has 1 upset under their belt and it's not like they are facing a powerhouse team that is top 10 in the country. Arkansas even ended their year off in the regular season with a loss and 2 very close wins by less than 3 points on both occasions. They got destroyed in their SEC tournament, losing to Texas A&M by almost 20 points and Texas A&M didn't even get a bid to this tournament. I think Arkansas is going to struggle to separate themselves from New Mexico State here and I think New Mexico State has the potential to even pull off another upset here. I think New Mexico State will keep this game close so I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 72-68 New Mexico State. | |||||||
03-19-22 | St. Peter's v. Murray State -8.5 | 70-60 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Murray State. I like Murray State to cover the spread against Saint Peter's in this game on Saturday. Murray State has had an incredibly good year in their conference play going a perfect 18-0 and they only lost 2 games all year winning 31/33 games played. They had a pretty tough matchup in the 1st round with San Francisco but they managed to get the better of them and win that game in OT. Murray State was winning a lot of their games by 10+ points this year and I think this will be another game that they destroy in. The cinderella story is always a nice one but I think Saint Peter's run is coming to an end here after pulling off the biggest upset this year over the 2nd seeded Kentucky as a 15th seeded team. I think Saint Peter's is going to be due for a let down here after that huge win and I expect Murray State to take advantage. I think Murray State is going to come out with a lot of energy in this game and I expect them to be heavily motivated to win this game. Everyone was expecting their opponent to be Kentucky and the fact that it's not should give a big boost to the Murray State players since they are now facing a 15th seeded team instead of a 2nd seeded team. Saint Peter's played very well in that game but Kentucky also missed a lot of their shots, especially from the free throw line. No matter how good they looked against Kentucky, there is no doubt that Murray State is still a much better team and I think they will be able to do what Kentucky couldn't and bury this team early. Murray State is also a school from Kentucky so I think they will even take extra steps here to ensure they don't end up with the same fate as the other Kentucky team. I expect Murray State to be motivated here and I think Saint Peter's will come out flat after their huge win. I like Murray State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 77-64 Murray State. | |||||||
03-18-22 | Colgate +7.5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 60-67 | Win | 100 | 19 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Colgate. I like Colgate to cover the spread against Wisconsin in this game on Friday. Colgate has looked good lately and I think they can upset Wisconsin here and move on to the next round. They have won 15 games in a row and lately they have been winning by a lot of points in their games. They just won their conference tournament with 3 wins and all of them were by 10+ points and even 20+ points in some games. They have also put up 70+ points in 5 games in a row but this is a common occurrence for them this year. I think they will be able to keep up with Wisconsin in this game and I expect them to take the lead and hang on to it with their offense. Wisconsin may be a 3 seed in this tournament but they haven't looked like one in their games lately and I think Colgate will get the best of them here. Wisconsin has lost 2 games in a row now with 1 being in their 1st game of their conference tournament to Michigan State but their other loss was to Nebraska in their final game of the regular season and Nebraska was the worst team in the Big 10 this year. Even before those 2 losses, their previous 3 games before that were shaky wins by 3 over Purdue, a win by 5 over Rutgers, and a win by 1 point over Minnesota who was also 1 of the worst teams in the conference this year. I think Wisconsin has been slipping near the end of the year here and I don't expect them to go very far in this tournament. Even if they manage to win this game Colgate will cover the spread but I think with how Wisconsin has looked lately, Colgate can upset and win this game. I like Colgate to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 74-71 Colgate. | |||||||
03-18-22 | Miami-FL v. USC -1.5 | 68-66 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: USC. I like USC to cover the spread against Miami-FL in this game on Friday. USC hasn't been winning a lot of games lately with just 1/4 wins in their previous 4 games but they haven't looked bad in those games and their losses were to strong teams that were also seeded high in this tournament. Their 3 most recent losses were to Arizona and to UCLA 2 different times and those are both 2 really good teams. Before that stretch of losses, they had won 6 games in a row, including a win over UCLA during that time, and they looked like they had a good handle on most of their games. I think they can come out and win this game over Miami who had a great start to the year but started to slip later on in the year. Miami hasn't looked great in their games lately and they have been struggling to win in some of their games against weaker teams. They have 3/4 wins in their previous 4 games but their 2 most recent wins were by 2 points over Boston College and by 3 points over Syracuse, neither team made the NCAA tournament either. Even their most recent game was a loss to Duke but Duke went on to lose in their conference finals and Miami has beaten them this year early on so there is no excuses for that loss, especially when they lost by 4 and had a chance to win it still. I think USC is the better team here and I think they have been losing more games lately because they have faced stronger teams. I think they won't have any trouble blowing past Miami here with how they have looked lately. I like USC to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 74-66 USC. | |||||||
03-18-22 | Loyola-Chicago v. Ohio State | 41-54 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Loyola Chicago. I like Loyola to cover the spread against Ohio State in this game on Friday. Loyola has looked great in their games lately, winning 3 games in a row now including their conference tournament which they won most of their games by 10+ points. Loyola looked really good on the defensive end of the court in their conference tournament games. The most they gave up in 1 game was to Drake in the finals when they gave up 58 points but they didn't give up 51+ in either of their other 2 games and that has also been a common theme for them in 5/6 of their previous 6 games. The only time they gave up more than that during that time was in their 1 loss and that was against Northern Iowa in their final game of the regular season, losing the game by 6 points but still putting up 96 themselves. Loyola has looked great on defense and I think that will play a big role in them winning this game but their offense can also get really hot and I think they will get the best of Ohio State here. Ohio State hasn't looked good lately and they were slipping badly to end the year. They crashed and burned out of their 1st game in the conference tournament with a 3 point loss to Penn State and even before that they ended their regular season losing 3/4 games and those losses were to Michigan, Nebraska, and Maryland. None of those teams are really impressive this year and only 1 of those teams from their previous 4 losses even made it to the NCAA tournament here. I think Ohio State has been slipping lately and I don't like how they have looked in their games with all of these bad losses. I think they are going to crash and burn out of this tournament the same way they did in the Big 10 tournament. I like Loyola to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 68-61 Loyola. | |||||||
03-17-22 | Texas Southern v. Kansas UNDER 145.5 | 56-83 | Win | 100 | 10 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Texas Southern/Kansas UNDER. I am on the under in the Texas Southern vs Kansas game on Thursday. Texas Southern has looked very good on the defensive end of the court in their games lately. They have gone 4 games in a row without giving up 70+ points and I expect them to give a very good defensive effort in this game if they want to have any chance of shutting down Kansas here. Texas Southern has a strong offense when it comes to their conference but they don't play in a very strong conference so I don't think they will put up nearly as many points here as they do in those games. Kansas plays very well on the defensive end themselves and I think they will not give up a lot of points to Texas Southern in this game. Kansas does have a strong offense when they need to put up points but I don't think they will need to put up a ton of points in this game to win and they will probably jump out to a big lead early and cruise their way to a win here. I think Texas Southern will still offer a decent amount of resistance to their offense so I don't see Kansas putting up a ton of points here but I don't see Texas Southern keeping this game close either. I think they are going to get blown out in this game and their offense is probably going to struggle against the defensive effort Kansas puts out in this game. Kansas won't need to put up a lot of points to win here and I don't see Texas Southern getting enough to really challenge this total or Kansas for the win. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 76-52 Kansas. | |||||||
03-17-22 | Vermont v. Arkansas -4.5 | 71-75 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arkansas. I like Arkansas to cover the spread against Vermont in this game on Thursday. Arkansas has looked really good in their games lately winning 6/8 of their previous 8 games. Their 2 losses during that time were both against teams that ended up in the SEC finals and their loss to Tennessee, who became the SEC Champions this year, was a very close loss by 4 points where they still looked really good. Arkansas did make it to the elite eight last year where they lost to Baylor who ended up being the champions, so they have shown their ability to make a deep run in the tournament. I think they are going to make a good run this year too since they looked really good for most of the year. They had a very good start to their year and kind of dropped off a bit in the middle but they got really hot again as they ended out the year and I think they can carry over that momentum into this tournament. Vermont has won 8 games in a row, including their conference title game, and they have looked really good blowing out a lot of opposing teams but they also play in a conference that they dominate and has no real competition for them. Vermont didn't even play any good teams in their non conference games at the beginning of the year and I really think Arkansas is the best team they will have faced all year. I expect Arkansas to take a lead early in this game and maintain it for most of the game staying in control. I like Arkansas to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 82-72 Arkansas. | |||||||
03-17-22 | Indiana +2.5 v. St. Mary's | 53-82 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 59 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Indiana. I like Indiana to cover the spread against Saint Mary's in this game on Thursday. Indiana has looked really good in their games lately and I think they can come away with a win in this 1st round with the run they have been on lately. They ended their regular season with 2 close losses by less than 3 points on both occasions and they played against good teams in those games too, Purdue and Rutgers. They looked really good in the Big Ten tournament too and went on a run upsetting 2 teams and almost a 3rd when they blew a late lead to Iowa and lost by 3, Iowa went on to win the Big 10 title. I think they have been building up a lot of momentum in their games lately and I think it will spill over into this game too since they had to even play in the first four games and came out with an 8 point win over Wyoming to earn their bid. Indiana has not only been hot lately but they have stayed warmed up with all of these games they have had to play, their most recent game being on Tuesday. Saint Mary's hasn't played in over a week now and their most recent game was a loss to Gonzaga, who they had just beaten in their final game of the regular season, and they lost to Gonzaga in the WCC finals by 10+ points. I think the long layoff is going to play against them in this game against a hot Indiana team and I expect Indiana to upset them in this game and make it to the next round. Saint Mary's hasn't performed well in neutral venue games this year and they haven't played well in tournament games over the past few years either. Indiana has a very good history this year and over the past few years in tournament games on at neutral venues though. I think Indiana has a major advantage in this game with all of the different factors coming together. I expect Indiana to win this game so I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 71-67 Indiana. | |||||||
03-16-22 | Notre Dame v. Rutgers +1.5 | Top | 89-87 | Loss | -110 | 41 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rutgers. I like Rutgers to cover the spread against Notre Dame in this game on Wednesday. Rutgers has been really hot toward the end of the year and I think they can win this game with how good they have looked lately. They had a very early exit in their conference tournament, losing in their 1st game but they did lose to Iowa who went on to win the whole thing. They finished their regular season with 2 wins in a row but they also had a very impressive resume to get to this game with wins over teams like Illinois, Ohio State, Michigan State, and they even beat Wisconsin in a road game. Those 4 wins marked the 1st time in NCAA history that an unranked team beat 4 ranked teams in a row and I think Rutgers still has a lot to prove in this tournament. Rutgers also plays a very good game on the defensive end of the court and I think their defensive play will be a key part in them winning this game. Before their loss to Iowa, they had not given up 70+ points in 3 games in a row and I think they are going to shut down Notre Dame in this game too. Notre Dame also exited their 1st game of the ACC tournament with a loss to Virginia Tech who also went on to win the whole thing but they gave up 87 points in that game and that has been a common theme for them this year since they have been giving up 70+ points in a majority of their games this year. Notre Dame has looked good in their games but they haven't really had a tougher schedule lately and I think Rutgers had to go through a lot of better teams in their conference to get here than Notre Dame did with a lot more bad teams in their larger conference. I think Rutgers has been very hot and I expect their coach to have them ready for this game since he has been turning this program around all year. Notre Dame likes to put up a lot of points in their games but I don't think they will be able to do so here with that great defensive play from Rutgers. I like Rutgers to cover the spread here and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 74-66 Rutgers. | |||||||
03-16-22 | Dayton +1.5 v. Toledo | 74-55 | Win | 100 | 13 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dayton. I like Dayton to cover the spread against Toledo in this game on Wednesday. Dayton was not able to win their conference tournament and get a bid to the tournament, losing to Richmond who went on to win the whole thing, but I still think they have looked good in their games lately and I expect them to make a deep run here in the NIT. They have not been winning their games impressively but they are finding ways to win close games at the moment and they have taken down some good teams as of late. I think they can win this game on the defensive end of the court and I expect to see a good defensive effort from them here. They have looked really good with their defensive play in their games this year and they have been able to hold a lot of opposing teams to less than 70 points in their games. I think that is going to play a big role in them winning this game and I think they can shut down the offense of Toledo here. Toledo had a great year finishing in 1st place of their conference but it means nothing since they looked terrible in their conference tournament and lost in their 2nd game, having to settle for the NIT instead. They only squeaked by the 1st round with a 1 point win over Central Michigan who were terrible during the year at 6-12 in their conference play. They ended up getting taken out in the very next round with Akron beating them by 8 points. Toledo did win a lot of their games by 10+ points during the regular season but this is tournament which is a whole new animal, and Dayton plays in a much tougher conference with stronger teams than Toledo does. Dayton was 1 of the best teams in their conference all year and I think they can win this game over Toledo. Toledo wasn't met with much resistance during their regular season games but I think they are going to run into a wall that is Dayton's defense and I expect Toledo to struggle more than they have in a while in this game. I like Dayton to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 74-67 Dayton. | |||||||
03-16-22 | Mississippi State v. Virginia UNDER 123.5 | 57-60 | Win | 100 | 13 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Mississippi State/Virginia UNDER. I am on the under in the Mississippi State vs Virginia game on Wednesday. Mississippi State has not been putting up a ton of points in their games lately and that has been a common theme for them all year. They have put up 70+ points 1 time in their previous 4 games and their 2 most recent games they put up less than 65 points. They have been a low scoring team all year but they have also looked good with their defensive play. They haven given up 70+ points just 1 time in their previous 3 games and this has also been a common theme for them since their defensive play has been good all year. Virginia also hasn't put up a lot of points in their games and they also play a very defensive style in their games. They don't put up a lot of points in their games and they have been putting up even less than Mississippi State has been all year. Virginia has only put up 65+ points in 1/4 of their previous 4 games and their 2 most recent games were really bad for them offensively since they didn't put up 52+ points in either game, still finding a way to win 1 of those games with only 51 points though. Neither team has been good with their shooting lately and they both tend to miss a lot of 3's. I think with all the missed shots and the great effort on defense from both teams, there is not going to be a lot of points in this game. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 59-56 Virginia. | |||||||
03-15-22 | Santa Clara v. Washington State OVER 149.5 | 50-63 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Santa Clara/Washington State OVER. I am on the over in the Santa Clara vs Washington State game on Tuesday. Santa Clara has been involved in a lot of high scoring games recently and they have been putting up a ton of points themselves in their games lately. They just put up 72 points in their most recent game against St. Mary's but they had put up 89+ points in 3 games in a row before that and this has been a common theme for them all year since a lot of their games have seen them put up 70+ and 80+ points. They do not play a lot of defense in their games though since they have given up 70+ points in 7/8 of their previous 8 games and I don't expect them to start playing defense in their games now. Washington State didn't put up a lot of points in the Pac-12 tournament, putting up 65 and 66 points in those games, but they ended their regular season with 5 games in a row where they put up 70+ points and they even put up 90+ points in 2 of those games. They even won quite a few games to end their year but their wins are usually close and they don't really play good on defense in their games either since the opposing team usually keeps up with them until the end for scoring. I expect both of these teams to hang around with each other the entire game and I don't see either team taking a big lead here. I think both are just going to keep putting up points trying to outscore the other so I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 84-81 Washington State. | |||||||
03-15-22 | Princeton +7 v. VCU | 79-90 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Princeton. I like Princeton to cover the spread against VCU in this game on Tuesday. Princeton had a great year finishing in 1st place in their conference but they missed out on a bid to the NCAA tournament when they lost their most recent game in the finals of their conference tournament, losing by 2 points to Yale and sending them there instead. Before that loss, Princeton had won 8 games in a row and a lot of their games were won by 10+ points too. They have looked really good for most of the year and I think they even have a chance to win this game but I definitely think they can cover the spread here at least. VCU also missed out with an exit in their 1st game of their conference tournament. They lost by 10+ points to Richmond who ended up winning the whole thing but VCU has also lost 2 games in a row now and I think they will come out slower in this game since they have been on a much longer layoff than Princeton has been. VCU hasn't played since Friday and I think that can benfit Princeton here since their most recent game was on Sunday and I expect them to get into a groove quicker in this game. Also, VCU doesn't play in the strongest conference and I think Princeton is a lot better some of those teams, I expect them to offer some more resistance to VCU in this game. I think Princeton can keep this game close here. I like Princeton to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 66-63 VCU. | |||||||
03-13-22 | Iowa v. Purdue OVER 148.5 | Top | 75-66 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Iowa/Purdue OVER. I am on the over in the Iowa vs Purdue game on Sunday. Iowa has been a very high scoring team all year averaging 80+ points per game this year but they have had a lot of points put up against them too since they have been giving up 70+ points per game. They have won 3 games in a row now in this tourney and they have been really hot in their games, putting up 80+ points in all 3 of them. They have also been giving up 74+ points in all of those games but this has been a common theme for them all year and it goes back during the regular season too. Iowa really fought hard in their most recent game too, there were multiple occasions where they were down big but they kept pushing their offense and Keegan Murray ended up having a huge day. He put up 30+ points himself and his 3-pointers is what was keeping them in that game. Iowa has been shooting great in their games too and I think they are going to keep that up in this game too. Purdue hasn't been putting up as much points as Iowa has been in their games lately but I think Purdue is the better team here and I don't think their defense will be good enough to stop Iowa here. I expect Purdue to match Iowa on offense in this game since Iowa loves to hit the 3's and this could turn into a huge shootout. Despite the fact that Purdue hasn't put up a lot of points in their games lately, they actually average 80+ points per game and are giving up 65+ points per game. Purdue can put up a ton of points when they need to and I think this is going to be 1 of those games where they will have to outscore the opposing team to win. I expect a lot of points in this game, I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 84-80 Purdue. | |||||||
03-12-22 | UCLA v. Arizona -1 | Top | 76-84 | Win | 100 | 12 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Arizona. I like Arizona to cover the spread against UCLA in this game on Saturday. Arizona has looked really good in their games lately and they have been on a huge run in their games as of late. They have won 5 games in a row but they have been destroying the opposing teams in their games. All but 1 of their previous 5 wins have been by 10+ points and they just won by 10 over Colorado too who had been playing great up to that game. Arizona is ranked the 2nd best team in the country and they only have 3 losses all year. They have won 5 games in a row, most by 10+ points, and they have put up 80+ points in all of their games too. That is a normal occurrence for them since their offense is very strong and I expect them to put up a ton of points in this game too and just outscore UCLA like they do with most teams. Despite scoring so many points in their games, they actually don't give up nearly as many points either as they have only given up 75+ points lately. UCLA has also looked good winning 4 games in a row now but they haven't been putting up as many points as Arizona has been and I think Arizona can outscore them in this game. Arizona has been 1 of the best teams in the country all year but they barely get any recognition and no one seems to talk about them as much as some of the other teams. Even UCLA gets talked about more and they have had their ups and downs this year while finishing 2nd to Arizona in the Pac-12. I think Arizona is going to be playing this game with a chip on their shoulder and they look to be on a mission at the moment to win the Pac-12 tournament. I like Arizona to cover the spread in this game and win it all. T.M. Prediction: 85-78 Arizona. | |||||||
03-12-22 | Indiana v. Iowa OVER 144 | 77-80 | Win | 100 | 4 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Indiana/Iowa OVER. I am on the over in the Indiana vs Iowa game on Saturday. Indiana has looked really good in their games lately and they have been playing a lot better over the last while. They lost 2 games to end the regular season but those 2 losses were in very close games and they didn't lose to bad teams in those games either. They have started off this tournament with a bang though, winning 2 games in a row now and they have looked good in those games too. They have been playing with house money having not been a favorite in any of their games but they have put up 65+ points in both games and I think they can put up even more here. Iowa has been putting up a lot of points in their games and I think Indiana will need to match their offense if they want to have a chance at winning here. Indiana has done a good job hanging in their games lately though and I expect them to keep this game close enough to have a chance in it. Iowa has looked even better in their games though and lately they have been on a huge run. They have won 2 games in a row now and have put up 84+ points in both games of this tournament. They have put up 70+ points in 14 games in a row now and they have even put up 80+ points in a majority of those games. Iowa already cracked 100 points in their first game of this tournament and I have no doubt that they will keep up their heavy offense here since they have been shooting great in their games. I expect to see a lot of points put up from both teams here but mainly Iowa. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 88-78 Iowa. | |||||||
03-11-22 | Colorado v. Arizona OVER 148 | 72-82 | Win | 100 | 16 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Colorado/Arizona OVER. I am on the over in the Colorado vs Arizona game on Friday. Colorado has looked really good in their games lately winning 3 in a row now and all 3 of their wins have been by 10+ points. They have actually won 8/9 of their previous 9 games and a good majority of those wins were by 10+ points too. I think Colorado is going to continue their hot streak here and they just won their 1st game of this tournament over Oregon and they won that game by 10+ points. I think they can carry over that momentum here and put up a ton of points in this game. They have been putting up a ton of points in their games lately with 79+ points in their 3 most recent games. Colorado has won 3 games in a row now but the 1st win that started this run was actually against Arizona and Colorado destroyed them on their home court winning that game 79-63. I think Colorado can put up a lot of points on them again but I also expect Arizona to put up a lot of points too and play much better in this game . This game is not on Colorado's home floor so Arizona should have a better game here and they did dominate their conference all year too, winning 18/20 games in conference play. Arizona has been putting up a lot of points in their games lately too. They have put up 80+ points in 4 games in a row and they have done it 8/9 of their previous 9 games with the win game they didn't being their loss to Colorado, the only loss for them during that time too. That loss is still fresh in their minds and they should be coming into this game with a vengeance. Both teams have been very hot and I think this is going to be a game where neither side plays any defense and they just keep shooting trying to outscore the other team. Both teams have been putting up a ton of points lately and I see this game going the same way. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 84-78 Arizona. | |||||||
03-11-22 | TCU +8 v. Kansas | 62-75 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: TCU. I like TCU to cover the spread against Kansas in this game on Friday. TCU just won their 1st game in this tournament and they did it against Texas after coming back from a 20+ point deficit in that game to win by 5 points. I think they played great in the 2nd half of that game and to make that kind of comeback in that situation really speaks a lot of their character as a team. TCU will alwaysfight back no matter how far they are behind and I think that is an important quality to have as a team since they will never give up on a game. I think they can carry over a lot of momentum from that win and I expect them to hang tight in this game with Kansas the entire time. TCU has already played against Kansas 2 times in their previous 4 games and TCU was able to steal a win against them on their home court and a loss in their road game against them but that loss was only by 4 points. I think TCU will play Kansas tough here like they have in their other 2 games against them this year and I expect them to keep this game close. Kansas also won their 1st game of this tournament yesterday against West Virginia but West Virginia has been underachieving all year so that win is not that impressive. TCU was able to come back in their previous game because of the defensive effort they put in in the 2nd half of that game and I think they will put out the same effort here to try and slow down Kansas' offense. Kansas also plays good defense in some of their games though and there is a good chance that this game stays in the lower scoring range because of the defensive effort from both teams. Either way, I think TCU will come to play hard in this game and I expect them to keep it close. I like TCU to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 72-67 Kansas. | |||||||
03-11-22 | Texas A&M +9.5 v. Auburn | 67-62 | Win | 100 | 7 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Texas A&M. I like Texas A&M to cover the spread against Auburn in this game on Friday. Texas A&M has looked really good in their games lately as they just keep winning whether the game is close or a blow out. They have won 5 games in a row now and they just kicked Florida out of this tournament with an 83-80 win in their previous game. Texas A&M has been hot in their games lately, they have been winning with good defense when they can but also have won games by putting up a ton of points when the defensive effort wasn't there. I think they can carry over some momentum from their win over Florida and I expect them to put up a good fight in this game. Auburn may have been the best team in their conference this year finishing in 1st place but they faltered down the stretch a bit and struggled in some of their games that they didn't play on their home court. They lost 3/4 of their final 4 road games in the regular season and although this isn't a road game, it is still not being played on home court and I think they won't play their best in this game. Texas A&M also had to play in the previous round so they are warmed up and ready to go for this game while Auburn hasn't played in a week and could come out a bit slower and sluggish in this game. I think Auburn will need some time to get back up to speed with this being their first game in tournament play for months and I think that will be enough for Texas A&M to gain some traction and stick around in this game. Auburn is also one of the top teams in the country so they don't even need to win this tournament to go to the NCAA tournament but Texas A&M does and they will play with some desperation in this game as it is do or die for them. I like Texas A&M to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 78-72 Auburn. | |||||||
03-10-22 | Cal-Riverside v. Hawaii UNDER 126.5 | 67-68 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 42 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UC Riverside/Hawaii UNDER. I am on the under in the UC Riverside vs Hawaii game on Thursday. UC Riverside hasn't been involved in a lot of low scoring games lately but they have been in some very close losses. Their 2 most recent games are both games where they lost by less than 3 points and both teams put up 70+ points in both games but neither team got over 75 points in those games either. I think this is going to be a close game just like those but I expect it to be a lower scoring game since Hawaii plays great on the defensive end and I think they are the better team here. I expect Hawaii to dictate the pace of this game with their defensive play and I don't see either of these putting up more than 65 points in this game. Hawaii has looked really good lately with 3 wins in their previous 4 games and they have only put up 65+ points in 1 of those games too. They are a very low scoring team and have been in most of their games this year but it is their defensive ability that is winning them games. They have given up 68+ points in 1/7 of their previous 7 games and they have even been keeping the opposing teams under 60 points in a lot of these games. The 1 time that they faced each other this year was also a low scoring game, UC Riverside won on their home court 64-59 but even in a loss they kept UC Riverside from scoring a lot of points in that game. I expect this game to be similar to that game but I think Hawaii will play better here since UC Riverside is on their home court this time. I think Hawaii will turn it up a notch on defense now that this is tournament play and I expect to see a great performance form them on the defensive end. I think they will control the pace here and keep this game low scoring. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 62-57 Hawaii. | |||||||
03-10-22 | Montana v. Weber State -3.5 | 56-68 | Win | 100 | 11 h 42 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Weber State. I like Weber State to cover the spread against Montana in this game on Thursday. Weber State hasn't looked great in their games lately but I think now that they are in tournament play they will step up and play better here. They ended their year with 3 losses in their final 4 games but they still kept the losses close in score and I expect them to have a much better game here. Weber State and Montana split their games against each other this year with each team winning their home game. Montana won by 2 points over Weber State while Weber State won by 5 when they played on their home court. The 1 advantage that Weber State has over Montana here is the fact that Weber State looked great in their road games this year while Montana did not. This game is at a neutral venue but that doesn't change the fact that Montana has been terrible this year when they haven't been on their home court. Montana is just 4-10 in their road games while Weber State is 8-5 and it may not seem like a big deal but I think it shows how differently these teams play when they aren't on their home court and I think it shows that Montana will struggle in this game too. Weber State has also played in neutral games this year and they are actually 3-0 in those games so they have plenty of experience in this situation this year and I think it is going to benefit them here. Montana hasn't looked great to end their year either since they have lost 3/4 of their previous 4 games. Their 2 most recent games were both losses by 9+ points on their home court too so I expect them to play badly in this game where they don't have the comfort of being the home team and they have looked really bad lately too. I like Weber State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 84-75 Weber State. | |||||||
03-10-22 | Syracuse +14.5 v. Duke | 79-88 | Win | 100 | 6 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Syracuse. I like Syracuse to cover the spread against Duke in this game on Thursday. Syracuse looked really good in their most recent game where they kicked out Florida State in the 1st round of this tournament. Syracuse ended their year off with 4 losses in a row but they quickly regrouped for the ACC tournament since they came out last night and won by 39 points over Florida State. Not only did they put up a ton of points in that game scoring 96, but they played great defense too and only gave up 57 points to Florida State. Syracuse has already been scarred twice by Duke this year, losing both of their games to them by 20+ points. I think Syracuse will play better here since this is tournament play now and it really is their last shot at going to the NCAA tournament. I expect them to have a lot of momentum after that huge win over Florida State and I think they can carry that over into this game and at least put up a good fight against Duke. Duke ended the year as the 1st place team in their conference but they did not look good in their most recent game, losing on their own home court in the final home game of Mike Krzyzewski's coaching career, and losing that game by 10+ points to their rival UNC too. That is a terrible loss for them to take and I do think they will bounce back here but I still expect their spirits to be lowered a bit and I think Syracuse can take advantage of a slow start from Duke with all of the emotions running through their team still. I think Syracuse will be out for revenge here and even if there is a good chance they don't get it here, I still think they will keep this game a lot closer than their other 2 against Duke this year. I like Syracuse to cover the spread. T.M. Prediction: 86-78 Duke. | |||||||
03-09-22 | DePaul +5 v. St. John's | 73-92 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: DePaul. I like DePaul to cover the spread against St. John's in this game on Wednesday. DePaul has looked really good in their games lately. They just lost their most recent game to UConn who is a ranked team but they won 3 games in a row before that and I think they can carry over some of their momentum into this game. DePaul still played well in their most recent game when they lost to UConn but they definitely finished the year on a high note with how they have looked in their games. They can still make a run in this tournament and in this conference with so many games being so close, I think they are going to have some momentum on their side here and I expect them to come out with a lot of energy here. They even beat St. John's not too long ago and I think they can get another win over them here. DePaul has even been putting up a ton of points in their games lately with 2/3 of their previous 3 games having them put up 90+ points in them. St. John's hasn't looked good in their games lately and they ended their year with 3/4 losses in their previous 4 games. They lost some close games during that time but St. John's has been very up and down all year and I think they just don't have the team to beat DePaul in this game on this stage. DePaul has been the better team down the stretch and the momentum is with them for this game with how good they have looked in their games lately. I think DePaul can win this game here and pull off the upset in this game over St. John's. I like DePaul to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 80-76 DePaul. | |||||||
03-09-22 | Ole Miss -3 v. Missouri | 60-72 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 51 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ole Miss. I like Ole Miss to cover the spread against Missouri in this game on Wednesday. Ole Miss has lost 4 games in a row now and they haven't really looked good in their games lately. They have lost some close games as of late but they have also lost a lot of games by 10+ points. They have had a tougher schedule lately though and 2/4 of their previous 4 games have been against a top 5 team in the country. I think Ole Miss will have a much easier time with Missouri here and I expect them to get up for this game too. Not only is this their last chance to get in the NCAA tournament but they lost both games played against Missouri this year and I think they will be looking for their revenge in this game. Missouri just won their most recent game over Georgia by 10 points but they ended their year losing 6/7 games to finish. They did have some close games during that time but a lot of their losses have been by 10+ points and I think they are going to have another bad game here. Missouri doesn't put up a lot of points in their games either. They have put up 69+ points in their 2 most recent games but they have had 5 games in a row before that where they didn't even put up 65+ points in their games. Ole Miss has been losing a lot of games just like Missouri but Ole Miss has looked more competitive in their games and they have been putting up more points on average too. I think Ole Miss is going to finally get their revenge on Missouri here and win this game. I like Ole Miss to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 75-65 Ole Miss. | |||||||
03-09-22 | Syracuse v. Florida State OVER 145.5 | 96-57 | Win | 100 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Syracuse/Florida State OVER. I am on the over in the Syracuse vs Florida State game on Wednesday. Syracuse has been involved in a lot of high scoring games lately. Syracuse has been putting up a lot of points in their games as of late, they have put up 70+ points in 3 games in a row and they have also done it 5/6 of their previous 6 games with the 1 game that they didn't being a game where they scored 69 points. Despite scoring all these points lately, they have still been losing a lot of their games and it's because they don't really play well on defense and they have been giving up a ton of points in their games. They have given up 70+ points in 5 games in a row and in 2/3 of their previous 3 games they have even given up 88+ points. Syracuse hasn't really been playing defense in any of their games lately and I don't see any reason why that would change now. Florida State hasn't been in a ton of high scoring games lately but they have put up 74+ points in their 2 most recent games and they just scored 89 points in their most recent game. I think Florida State will have no issues putting up points in this game and I expect them to keep scoring more and more in this game since they will not be met with a lot of resistance. This is also the last chance for Syracuse to make it into the NCAA tournament so I don't expect them to just lay down and die in this game. I think Syracuse will fight hard until the end in this game and I expect them to put up a lot of points here to keep up with Florida State. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 84-78 Florida State. | |||||||
03-08-22 | Jacksonville +3 v. Bellarmine | 72-77 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Jacksonville. I like Jacksonville to cover the spread against Bellarmine in this game on Tuesday. Jacksonville has looked really good in their games lately winning 2 in a row and they have also won 7/8 games of their previous 8. They have won a lot of their games lately by impressive margins but this is already their 3rd game in this conference tournament. They have already knocked out the 1st and 3rd seed from the opposite division and I think they are going to do the same here since they have been very hot lately. Bellarmine has also won 2 games in a row, knocking out the 1st and 3rd seed from the opposite division too, but they ended their regular season in a bit of a rough patch losing 2/3 games to end the year. I think Jacksonville was the better team this year and I think they have looked a lot better in their games lately compared to Bellarmine. Bellarmine has been losing a lot more games than Jacksonville has been lately and I think Jacksonville has the momentum with them to win the whole thing. They also give a better defensive effort than Bellarmine does in their games. Bellarmine has been in a lot of higher scoring games where they put up 65+ points a lot but they have also been giving up 70+ points on a lot of occasions. Jacksonville has been very stout and they do not give up nearly as many points in their games, keeping their opposing teams under 65 points in a lot of their games lately. I think this defensive effort by Jacksonville is going to be the key difference in this game and I expect them to come away with the win here. I like Jacksonville to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 64-58 Jacksonville. | |||||||
03-08-22 | NC State v. Clemson -5 | 64-70 | Win | 100 | 11 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Clemson. I like Clemson to cover the spread against NC State in this game on Tuesday. Clemson has looked really good in their games lately and they have been getting very hot to end the year with 4 wins in a row. They even won a few of those games by 10+ points and I think they are going to carry over that momentum into this tournament and make a decent run in it. NC State did not have a good year at all and they were the worst team in conference play this year at 4-16. Clemson was a lot better all year but they have really looked good down the stretch here and I don't think NC State can even put a stop to them in this game. NC State has lost 4 games in a row but the most recent win that they got has been their only win in their previous 11 games. Not only did they look terrible in conference play all year but they could barely even pull together a win in the back half of their season. They even lost by 10+ points in their 3 most recent games and I think they have the same fate awaiting them here. NC State has been putting up a lot of points in their games too but that is mainly because they are giving up way too many points in their games and they aren't going to win games like that if they can never even catch up. They don't play any defense and that is where I think Clemson is going to have the upper hand on them here. Clemson has been in some higher scoring games themselves lately but most of their games have been lower in scoring where they do not allow the opposing team to put up 70+ points in the game. I think Clemson's defensive ability here is going to help them take the lead and maintain it in this game. I like Clemson to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 72-62 Clemson. | |||||||
03-07-22 | Furman v. Chattanooga -2 | 63-64 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chattanooga. I like Chattanooga to cover the spread against Furman in this game on Monday. Chattanooga has looked very good in their games lately and they are rolling into this game very hot at the moment. They have won 4 games in a row now and I expect them to extend their run to 5 games here. They finished the regular season with 2 wins and they have won their 1st 2 games of this tournament too. They just won their most recent game over Wofford by 10+ points and they have 2 wins by 10+ points in their previous 4 games. Those 2 wins were against Wofford and Samford which is huge since those 2 teams finished in 3rd and 4th place of this conference. Chattanooga has already taken down 2 of the top 4 teams in the conference in their previous 4 games and I think they can make it 3 here with a win over Furman in this game. Furman has also looked good in their games lately with 3 wins in a row now but a lot of their games have been closer in score as of late. When put up against some of the better teams in this conference, Furman has struggled to win convincingly and in some cases, they have struggled to even win at all. In their previous 5 games, they have also seen 2 of the top 4 teams in this conference in 3 different games but they have not looked that great in those games. They have a loss to Samford by 8 points and then they also have a win over them by 3 in their most recent game and a win over Wofford by 1 point. I think Chattanooga has been the better team here all year, they have been better in conference play and they even completed a season sweep of Furman this year. I think Chattanooga will have no issues with taking Furman down a 3rd time this year in this game. I like Chattanooga to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 74-67 Chattanooga. | |||||||
03-06-22 | Boston University v. Navy -2 | 80-85 | Win | 100 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Navy. I like Navy to cover the spread against Boston U in this game on Sunday. Navy didn't look great in their final games as they were finishing off the regular season but they won in the 1st round of this tournament and I think they can do the same here on their home court again. This is another home game for Navy and they have looked really good in their home games lately with 3/4 wins in their previous 4 games. They also completed the season sweep of Boston U this year and I think they are going to pick up another win over them here. Boston U had a very similar end to their regular season as Navy did, losing 2/3 games but winning in the 1st round of this tournament on their home court. This will be a road game for Boston U though, and they have actually lost their 2 most recent road games by 10+ points. Boston U hasn't been terrible on the road this year at 8-7 but they have been a lot better on their home court and I expect them to struggle in this road game. Boston U has also been giving up a lot more points in their games than Navy has been and I think Navy's defensive effort is going to help them win this game. Navy doesn't put up a lot of points in their games but that is because they play well on the defensive end of the court and they keep the opposing teams to very low scores, usually in the 50's or 60's. I think Navy is going to force some turnovers in this game and they should be able to keep a good lead the whole game. I like Navy to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 67-61 Navy. | |||||||
03-06-22 | NJIT v. Vermont OVER 130 | 59-98 | Win | 100 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: NJIT/Vermont OVER. I am on the over in the NJIT vs Vermont game on Sunday. NJIT hasn't looked good in their games lately with 4 losses in a row to end their year but they have been putting up more points in their games near the end of the regular season there. In their 2 most recent games, they put up 60+ points in both games which isn't a lot but it's a lot for them with the way they have played this year. They don't score a ton of points in their games but they have been scoring more now and their defensive effort has been really bad in their games too. They have given up 80+ points in 3 games in a row and I think they are going to continue to do so in this game since that has been a common theme for them this year. I think they are going to give up a ton of points here but with their offense playing better and this being a tournament game, I expect NJIT to give their best effort here and put up as many points as they can to keep up in this game. Vermont can score a ton of points in their games and both times that NJIT faced Vermont this year, they lost and gave up 80+ points in both games, even giving up 90+ points in the road game. This is a another road game for them too and I expect there to be a lot of points again. Vermont dominated this conference this year winning 17/18 games in conference play. They finished the year winning 5 games in a row and they have been putting up 70+ points in most of their games. They have been putting up a lot more points in their home games though and when they have been on their home court they usually score in the high 70's or 80+ points. I expect this to be another game where they put up a ton of points on NJIT again but I think NJIT will play a bit harder and put up more points to try and keep up. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 80-65 Vermont. | |||||||
03-06-22 | UMass Lowell v. Maryland-Baltimore County -2 | 85-93 | Win | 100 | 7 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UMBC. I like UMBC to cover the spread against UMass Lowell in this game on Sunday. UMBC has looked good in their games lately and they have won 3 games in a row now. They have even won 4/5 of their previous 5 games and 3 of those wins were by 10+ points. I think they are going to continue playing at a high level in this game now that they are in tournament play and they have a bit of an advantage with this being a home game for them. They have won 6 home games in a row and only 1 of those games wasn't won by 10+ points while the other 5 were. They looked good in their home games all year and even though they were no Vermont who finished in 1st place in the conference at 17-1 in conference play, UMBC still dominated the conference coming in 2nd place. UMass Lowell was 3rd from last in their conference and they haven't looked good in many road games this year either. They ended their year on a win but they still lost 4/6 games of their final 6 games and they were even blown out in a few of those games. I think UMBC has been having a better year and they have been hot to end the season as they approach this tournament. I expect them to come out in full force in this game and win it here on their home court. I like UMBC to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 75-68 UMBC. | |||||||
03-05-22 | Mississippi State v. Texas A&M -2 | 64-67 | Win | 100 | 13 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Texas A&M. I like Texas A&M to cover the spread against Mississippi State in this game on Saturday. These 2 teams have had very similar years in conference play with identical records but in general, Texas A&M has been the better team and they have a bit of an advantage being on their home court here. Texas A&M is actually rolling into this game very hot since they have won 3 games in a row and have wins in 4/5 of their previous 5 games. They just won their most recent game over Alabama who is ranked, and they have won all 3 of their games in a row by 10+ points, with 2 of those wins even being in road games. I think they have been building some momentum and I expect them to carry that over into this final home game for them this year. I think they are going to feed off of the crowd in this game and they have been very good on their home court this year at 12-4. Mississippi State has been terrible in their road games, only winning 1/9 road games this year. They have been stumbling in their games lately and have lost 2/3 of their previous 3 games. Both of their losses during that time were by 10+ points too. They just got destroyed on their home court by Auburn in their most recent game and I think they are not going to have a lot of energy in this game. I don't trust Mississippi State in their road games, especially with the way they have been playing lately. Texas A&M has been a very reliable team on their home court and they have the momentum in this game since they have been very hot lately. I expect Texas A&M to continue on their run here and win this final home game. I like Texas A&M to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 82-72 Texas A&M. | |||||||
03-05-22 | Texas v. Kansas UNDER 138 | Top | 63-70 | Win | 100 | 9 h 56 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Texas/Kansas UNDER. I am on the under in the Texas vs Kansas game on Saturday. I expect this to be a low scoring game since both of these teams play well on the defensive end of the court. Texas has scored a variety of different point ranges in their games this year but on offense they only average less than 70 points per game. They don't need to put up a lot of points in their games though since they give a great defensive effort and they have been giving up less than 60 points per game this year. Lately, they've been letting their games get a bit out of hand but they still have 2 games in their previous 4 where neither team put up 70+ points in the game, and both of those games were their 2 most recent games against another ranked opposing team. They just lost on their home court in their most recent game 68-61 to Baylor, and the other was a loss on their home court to Texas Tech where they lost 61-55. The previous time they met with Kansas, they won on their home court in a higher scoring 79-76 game. I don't think they will put up as many points in this road game though and I expect Kansas to dictate play a bit more in this game. Kansas will be seeking revenge for that loss earlier this year and I think they will play with some extra motivation to win here. I also think that with that extra motivation to play here will come a very good defensive effort on their part and I think they can force some turnovers in this game. Kansas, just like Texas, plays great on the defensive end but they have been giving up more points than Texas while also scoring more points than them. I think Kansas won't be able to put up a ton of points in this game with Texas' defensive effort but I also think Kansas will give their own defensive effort to win this game and I really think Texas will struggle in this road game to put up points since they have not been great in road games this year. I expect this to be a low scoring game, I like the under here. T.M. Prediction: 66-60 Kansas. | |||||||
03-05-22 | Indiana v. Purdue -10 | 67-69 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Purdue. I like Purdue to cover the spread against Indiana in this game on Saturday. Purdue hasn't looked good in their games lately and they have lost 2 games in a row. They lost both of those games in road games though and they kept the games close too, losing both by 3 points exactly. They still haven't looked good though and they were trailing for most of the time in both of those games. This is their last game of the year before tournaments start now and I think they will want to stop the bleeding as of late with a win here on their home court and give their fans something to cheer about as they get ready for the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments. They have nothing going for them at the moment and I expect Purdue to give a good effort in this game so they can build up some momentum in this game and carry it over into their postseason. Purdue has still been a really good team this year, they only have 6 losses all year and they have also looked like a completely different team on their home court this year. They have won 15/16 games on their home court and I think they are going to cap of the regular season with another win here, and I expect it to be a blowout. Indiana has been up and down this year but they have a record below .500 both in road games and in conference play. Indiana has won 2/3 of their previous 3 games but they haven't had a tough schedule during that time either and I think Purdue is going to come after them here. Indiana has lost 4 games in a row against ranked teams and the most recent win that they managed to get over a ranked team this year was actually against Purdue earlier this year. Purdue lost in Indiana by 3 points and they definitely have this game circled on their calendar considering the rivalry between these 2 teams too. I think Purdue still remembers that loss and I think they are going to try and remedy it with a blowout win in this final home game this year. I like Purdue to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 81-65 Purdue. | |||||||
03-05-22 | Villanova -8.5 v. Butler | 78-59 | Win | 100 | 5 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Villanova. I like Villanova to cover the spread against Butler in this game on Saturday. Villanova has looked in their games lately. They have won 6/7 of their previous 7 games and I think they are going to play well in this final game of the regular season. Their 2 most recent games featured 1 loss by 2 points and 1 win by 2 points but both of those games were against ranked teams who also happen to be in the top 3 of this conference too. I think Villanova will use this game to get ready for their tournament play and I expect them to give a good effort in this game to try and build some momentum they can use going forward. Butler has been having a terrible year and they have lost 4 games in a row now. They have even been having a rough time on their own home court with 2/3 losses in their previous 3 games. Their schedule has not even been that tough either in their home games lately and I think they will get destroyed by a much better team than what they've seen lately. They haven't been putting up a lot of points either lately. They have only put up 61+ points in 1/4 of their previous 4 games and I think they are going to have an even rougher time trying to score on Villanova's defense. Villanova has had a tougher schedule lately so they have been giving up more points but against a team like Butler, I expect them to give a really good defensive effort. Villanova is only giving up less than 65 points per game and Butler has been failing to even reach that in their games lately. Villanova can also put up anywhere in the 70's to 80's on average for points and I think this is going to be a game where they put up a lot. Villanova should be able to pull away in this game as they force some key turnovers throughout on the defensive end of the court. I like Villanova to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 75-57 Villanova. | |||||||
03-04-22 | North Carolina A&T v. Longwood UNDER 137 | 65-79 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: North Carolina A&T/Longwood UNDER. I am on the under in the North Carolina A&T vs Longwood game on Friday. NC A&T won in the 1st round of this tournament against Radford but they had finished their year off with 4 losses in a row and they looked really bad in most of those games. Their final 3 games to end the regular season were all losses where they didn't even put up 65+ in any of the games, and they failed to even reach 60 points in the 2 most recent games to end off the regular season. They did put up 78 points against Radford but I think they are going to have a much tougher time trying to score in this game. Longwood won the conference this year and they have been dominating in their conference play too, winning 15/16 games in conference play this year. Longwood hasn't played in almost a week now so they should be well rested for this game. They ended their year off winning 5 games in a row but they never put up 80+ points in any of those games. Longwood has been putting up around the low 70's in points lately but it has really been their defense that has been winning their games since they have looked great on the defensive end lately. They haven't given up 70+ points in 6/9 of their previous 9 games but even in the games they did, the most the opposing team ever got to in 1 of those games was 72 points. Longwood was the best team in their conference all year and I don't see why they are going to let off the gas now, especially when their defensive play has been so good. I expect them to give another great defensive effort in this game and keep the opposing team from scoring a lot of points. I don't think they are going to need to put up a lot of points to win this game either so I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 70-57 Longwood. | |||||||
03-03-22 | Detroit v. Northern Kentucky -3 | 59-77 | Win | 100 | 5 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Northern Kentucky. I like Northern Kentucky to cover the spread against Detroit in this game on Thursday. Northern Kentucky has won 3 games in a row and they have looked really good in those games winning their 2 most recent home games by 10+ points. The last game they lost was to Detroit too so they have some extra motivation to beat them in this game. Northern Kentucky has actually won 10/12 of their previous 12 games and both of their losses during that time were to Detroit, losing 1 home game and 1 road game. I think they will be out for their revenge here after going 0-2 against Detroit this year and they should be fueled by that since their 2 most recent losses both came at the hands of Detroit. I think this is the perfect spot for Northern Kentucky to step up and kick them out of the tournament here, especially when they have been having a much better year. This will also be a home game for them and they were very good in home games this year at 11-4. Detroit really struggled in their road games this year at 5-13 and I think the pressure is going to get to them in this game. Detroit lost their very last game of the regular season in a home game and they have already had to play an extra game in this tournament, kicking out Green bay in a blowout win in another home game. I think they are going to feel the pressure here in this high stakes road game though and I think Northern Kentucky is going to be coming for blood in this game. I like Northern Kentucky to get revenge for their 2 most recent losses here and cover the spread in a nice home win for them against Detroit here. T.M. Prediction: 72-61 Northern Kentucky. | |||||||
03-02-22 | Western Kentucky -2 v. Marshall | 86-72 | Win | 100 | 13 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Western Kentucky. I like Western Kentucky to cover the spread against Marshall in this game on Wednesday. Western Kentucky just lost their most recent game but they had won 7 games in a row before losing that game. I think they will be looking to bounce back in this game after a very bad game against Middle Tennessee in their most recent game. They lost that game by 10+ points but when they were on their big win streak, they were winning a lot of their games by 10+ points and that also includes road games during that time. I think Western Kentucky is a lot better here and I expect them to bounce back with some much better play in this game. Western Kentucky has been putting together a decent year in their conference play and they have been a lot better than Marshall who are in last place of their division within the conference. Marshall is only even in their home games this year and they gave won 4/16 games in conference play. Marshall also just lost their most recent game to Middle Tennessee too but they looked a lot worse before that game. They have lost most of their games over their previous 8 and a lot of them have been by 10+ points. I don't think this game is going to be a ridiculous blowout for Western Kentucky but they are the better team here and I expect them to finish off their year with 2 good wins over Marshall and carry over some of that momentum to their tournament play. I like Western Kentucky to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 76-69 Western Kentucky. | |||||||
03-01-22 | Purdue -2.5 v. Wisconsin | 67-70 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Purdue. I like Purdue to cover the spread against Wisconsin in this game on Tuesday. Purdue hasn't looked great lately but they have still been getting wins in their games with 3/4 wins in their previous 4 games. They just lost their most recent game to Michigan State by 3 points in a road game that they were trailing in the whole time and did not play their best in. I think Purdue is the best team in this conference though and I expect them to bounce back after a close loss like that. Purdue is in 2nd place and is just below Wisconsin in the standings but they are only 1 game behind and I think Purdue will be motivated to get this win. Purdue lost on their home court to Wisconsin very early in the season this year but I think Purdue will be looking to get their revenge on Wisconsin here. There is only 2 games left and I expect Purdue to start getting hot going into tournament play and that starts here with a bounce back win after a bad road performance in their most recent game. Wisconsin has won 4 games in a row but they haven't seen another ranked team during that time and I think they are going to run into a difficult challenge here. Their 2 most recent wins haven't been impressive either and I think Purdue has the offense and the defense to stop Wisconsin here and beat them on their own home floor. I think Purdue has a few reasons to be motivated for this game and I expect them to start going as hard as they can here and start getting themselves into the tournament mindset. This is a big test for Purdue but I think they are going to answer the call here and win this game. I like Purdue to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 77-70 Purdue. | |||||||
03-01-22 | Bucknell v. Lafayette -5.5 | 82-81 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 59 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Lafayette. I like Lafayette to cover the spread against Bucknell in this game on Tuesday. Lafayette has lost 2 games in a row now and they haven't looked that great ending off the year like that but I expect them to step up here now that they are playing in the Patriot League Tournament. They weren't the greatest in their home games this year at 6-8 but they have actually looked pretty good at home in their games lately. They ended the year off winning 4/5 home games of their previous 5 and that loss came in their most recent game which was also their final game of the regular season. They lost by 20 points to Lehigh but I think they will be looking to get that game back on their home court here and they have a much easier opposing team on the table to play against here. Bucknell finished the regular season with the worst record in their conference play and they were the worst road team in the league too. They played 15 road games this year and they lost 14/15 of those road games. They have lost 4 road games in a row and they have even been blown out by 10+ points in a few of them. I think Lafayette is a lot better here and I expect them to play with some kick in their step at home here in a tournament game. I also think they will have a fire lit under them from that last season game where they lost by 20 points on their home court and I expect them to put on a better show here. Bucknell has been terrible in road games all year and I see no reason why they are going to perform well here all of the sudden. I like Lafayette to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 72-61 Lafayette. | |||||||
03-01-22 | North Alabama v. Florida Gulf Coast -10.5 | 72-81 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Florida Gulf Coast. I like Florida Gulf Coast to cover the spread against North Alabama in this game on Tuesday. Florida Gulf Coast has won 2 games in a row to finish the regular season and they were 1 of the better teams in their conference this year. They are going to have home advantage in this game to start off their Atlantic Sun Tournament and I think they should destroy North Alabama in this game. Florida Gulf Coast has been getting very hot to end the regular season and they ended their year with 2 big wins over the 2 teams that finished higher than they did in their division. I think they are going to have a lot of momentum from those games and I expect them to come out with a lot energy in this game and take an early lead. North Alabama was the worst team in their conference this year and they even finished in last place with a 2-14 record in conference play. The next closest team to them had 3 more wins in conference play but North Alabama was also terrible in their road games this year too. They lost 11/14 of their road games and they have lost 3 road games in a row now. They finished their year losing 8 games in a row and most of their road losses during that time were by 10+ points. They even lost to Florida Gulf Coast in 1 of those games by 30+ points and I don't see why this game would be any different for them. Florida Gulf Coast is going to play at their best in this game now that they have reached tournament play and I expect them to dispose of North Alabama quickly in this game. This should be a blowout for Florida Gulf Coast here, I like them to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 80-57 Florida Gulf Coast. | |||||||
02-28-22 | San Diego State -1.5 v. Wyoming | 73-66 | Win | 100 | 16 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego State. I like San Diego State to cover the spread against Wyoming in this game on Monday. San Diego State has looked really good in their games lately. They have won 6/7 games of their previous 7 and they won their most recent game by 20+ points. The only loss they had over their previous 7 games was in a road game but they lost by 1 point to Boise State and Boise State is in 1st place of this conference at the moment. Before taking that road loss, San Diego State had won 2 games in a row and both wins were by 10+ points. I think they can continue to play like that in this game and get a win over Wyoming here. Wyoming is in 2nd place of the conference at the moment while San Diego State is in 4th but Wyoming only has 3 losses in conference play this year while San Diego State has just 4 losses and has played less games in conference play so far. Wyoming hasn't been playing at their best lately either. They won their most recent game but they have been alternating between wins and losses over their previous 5 games. Wyoming has been really up and down lately and I think San Diego State can get the better of them here. San Diego State has been giving a much better defensive effort in their games lately too. They haven't given up 60+ points to the opposing team in 4 games in a row now and I think they will continue to dominate on the defensive end in this game. I expect San Diego State to keep Wyoming's offense held back with their great defensive effort and I think that is going to be a key part for them to win this game. I like San Diego State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 65-57 San Diego State. | |||||||
02-27-22 | East Tennessee State v. NC-Greensboro -4 | 73-69 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UNC Greensboro. I like UNC Greensboro to cover the spread against East Tennessee State in this game on Sunday. UNC Greensboro just won their most recent game by 9 on their home court and they have looked really good on their home court all year. They have been a bit up and down lately but they have only lost 2 times in their previous 7 games and I think they can carry over some of that momentum into this game. East Tennessee State hasn't looked good in their games lately. They just lost their most recent game on their home court and they have won 1 time over their previous 4 games. They did win their most recent road game but they have been terrible in their road games this year at 3-10. They have also been terrible in conference play too and they even lost the 1st meeting against UNC Greensboro in a game earlier this year. UNC Greensboro won that game by 4 points and that was a road game for them. I think UNC Greensboro will play even better on their home court here and I expect them to win this game by more points than they did last time. UNC Greensboro actually plays well on the defensive end and I think that will be a key piece in winning this game for them. East Tennessee gives up a lot of points in their games so I don't see UNCG having issues putting up points here. East Tennessee has already been struggling to keep up in a lot of their games though and I think it will be even harder for them to score on UNCG's defense in this game. I expect UNCG to give a good defensive effort on their home court and use it to pull away in this game since East Tennessee will not be able to keep up with their scoring. I like UNC Greensboro to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 71-62 UNC Greensboro. | |||||||
02-27-22 | Connecticut -11 v. Georgetown | Top | 86-77 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UConn. I like UConn to cover the spread against Georgetown in this game on Sunday. UConn has looked really good in their games lately and I think they have been building up some momentum in their games which should continue into this game and give a boost to their play. They have won 4 games in a row and they just beat Villanova who has been hot lately and is ranked 8th in the country at the moment. I think UConn is going to keep playing well here and I expect a huge win from them here. Georgetown has been terrible in conference play this year at 0-16 and I think they aren't even going to win a game at all now with only a few games left. This is their final home game of the year too and they are below .500 on their home court this year at 6-10. UConn hasn't been great in road games this year, but they are still even in those games and they have been dominating their conference play for most of the year too. They are really hot at the moment and have been rolling over teams lately, I expect them to do the same here. Georgetown hasn't just been losing a lot of games lately, they have been losing a lot of their games by 10+ points and I think they are going to struggle to keep up with UConn here. UConn has looked a lot better on the defensive end of the court lately. They haven't given up 70+ points to 4 opposing teams in a row and I think they will continue here. Georgetown hasn't put up 70+ points in 3 games in a row but they have given up 70+ and even 80+ points in most of their games in conference play this year. This is the final stretch for UConn and they need to focus here in these last few games and win them all. I think they have the momentum on their side with how they have looked lately and after that huge win over Villanova, I expect them to just blow Georgetown away here. I like UConn to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 82-66 UConn. | |||||||
02-26-22 | Stanford -1 v. California | 39-53 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Stanford. I like Stanford to cover the spread against California in this game on Saturday. Stanford has lost 2 games in a row now and they just lost their most recent game by 10+ points getting destroyed on their home court. I think they are going to be upset over that loss and the way they played in that game and I expect them to get a bounce back win here over California who has not been that great this year. Stanford hasn't been terrible in their road games in conference play this year, they have a few close losses and some bad ones too but they also have a win over a ranked team in USC and they just won their most recent road game by 10+ points. They haven't been great in conference play this year but they also haven't been terrible either since they are 8-9 but that is great compared to a team like California that has been terrible in conference play. California is 4-13 in conference play and they have lost 2 games in a row now, both losses were in home games for them. They have another home game here and I think Stanford can beat up on them in this game. California doesn't put up a lot of points in their games and lately they haven't been scoring a lot at all. They haven't put up 65+ points in 6/7 of their previous 7 games and I think Stanford is going to outscore them in this game. Stanford just lost 2 bad games on their home court where they didn't put up a lot of points. I think they will be motivated to break out of their funk here and pick up a win over a team that has been having a lot more issues this year than they have been. I like Stanford to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 63-57 Stanford. | |||||||
02-26-22 | Kansas v. Baylor UNDER 149.5 | Top | 70-80 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Kansas/Baylor UNDER. I am on the under in the Kansas vs Baylor game on Saturday. Kansas has looked really good lately with 4 wins in a row now but they have been giving a really good effort on defense in a lot of their games. I think Kansas will give a good defensive effort in this game too since the team they are playing is right on their tail for 1st place in their conference. Kansas just won their most recent game 102-83 but the games they played before that win were much lower in score. They didn't give up 70+ points to any opposing teams for 3 games in a row before their most recent win, and they haven't given up 70+ points in 5/7 of their previous 7 games. In their previous meeting this year, Kansas only gave up 59 points to Baylor and I think they can play with that kind of defensive intensity again in this game. I expect Baylor to also play a lot better on defense in this game too. They gave up 83 points in that 1st meeting against Kansas and I think they will play harder on defense and give a better effort so that doesn't happen again. They are also on their home court here, they have been a lot better on their home court this year and I think they will have an easier time getting the stops in this game. This is also an important game for both teams, Baylor is behind Kansas in conference play this year and Baylor would need Kansas to lose at least 2 games or they can't catch up. Baylor has a chance to deliver 1 of those losses here and I think they will play more cautious and give that extra effort on defense to get stops considering they were embarrassed by Kansas last time. I think both teams will have a good defensive effort in this game and I expect it to be a lower scoring game. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 69-66 Baylor. | |||||||
02-26-22 | Purdue -4.5 v. Michigan State | 65-68 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Purdue. I like Purdue to cover the spread against Michigan State in this game on Saturday. Purdue has won 3 games in a row and their 2 most recent wins were both by 5+ points. They struggled a bit after losing to Michigan and even won over Maryland by only 1 point on their home court, but they have looked a lot better lately and I think they will be able to roll right over Michigan State in this game. Purdue has been good in their road games this year at 5-3 but they have been dominating their conference play at 13-4 and they are even in 1st place of their conference too. They have a few teams that can catch up to them though so I think now is the time for Purdue to start pouring it on in their games as we reach the final few games here. Michigan State has really been tumbling in their games lately and I don't think they can work their way out of this spiral with how tough their schedule is in these final 4 games. Michigan State has lost 3 games in a row now but they have also lost 5/6 of their previous 6 games. They even lost a few of those games by 10+ points while coming very close in others. Things have not been going their way though, and I think they are going to keep stumbling in these final few games here. Purdue has looked shaky in some games but for the most part, they have looked really good in most of their games and even in the games they won in a close battle, they still found a way to get the win while Michigan State has been doing the opposite and finding ways to lose games. I think Purdue is a lot better and they have a lot of momentum on their side here. I don't think Michigan State will give Purdue a challenge here with how they have looked in a lot of their games lately. I like Purdue to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 87-77 Purdue. | |||||||
02-25-22 | Iowa -12.5 v. Nebraska | 88-78 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Iowa. I like Iowa to cover the spread against Nebraska in this game on Friday. Iowa has looked really good in their games lately and they have been winning a lot of their games by 10+ points. They have won 2 games in a row and during that time they picked up a win over Ohio State in a road game by 13 points and their most recent game was a home win over Michigan State by 20+ points. Iowa has looked really good and I think they are going to keep playing at a high level in this game. This is a road game for them and they are below .500 in road games this year but Nebraska is the worst team in the conference at 1-15 in conference play this year and they are even below .500 at 7-11 in home games. Nebraska got their 1st and only win in conference play just a few weeks ago but they have lost 3 games in a row now and all 3 of those losses were by 10+ points. Iowa has been a lot better in conference play this year and with how they have looked lately, I think they are going to roll right over Nebraska in this game. I expect Iowa to win this game by 20+ here and continue their run they have been on. I like Iowa to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 86-65 Iowa. | |||||||
02-25-22 | Niagara v. Rider | 68-70 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 53 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Niagara. I like Niagara to cover the spread against Rider in this game on Friday. Niagara just lost 2 games in a row but they won their most recent game to end that skid and they won it over Canisius in a road game by 10+ points. Before they went on that 2 game skid, they had won 3 games in a row and were really getting hot with wins against both Iona and Monmouth during that time, 2 of what are considered to be better teams in this conference. I think Niagara can build off some of the momentum from that game and I expect them to carry it over here getting another win on the road. Niagara hasn't been great in conference play this year but neither has Rider, and while Niagara is below .500 in road games this year, Rider is only 5-5 in their home games. Rider was also getting very hot when they strung together 4 wins in a row but now they have lost 3 games in a row and have entered their own losing skid that they have yet to break out of. I think Rider is going to continue their skid here and I expect Niagara to get up for this game especially. Niagara lost to Rider at home earlier this year and that was a very close game since they only lost by 3 points. I think Niagara will be looking for revenge here and I expect them to get it by playing with some more fire than usual. I like Niagara to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 72-67 Niagara. | |||||||
02-24-22 | Marshall v. Middle Tennessee -6.5 | 65-74 | Win | 100 | 14 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Middle Tennessee State. I like Middle Tennessee State to cover the spread against Marshall in this game on Thursday. Middle Tennessee has looked really good lately with 6 wins in a row now. They have looked impressive in those wins too and have won 5/6 of those games by 8+ points which would cover the spread in this game. They have been even more impressive in their home games though, they have won 3 home games in a row by 10+ points and 6/7 of their previous 7 home games have been wins by 10+ points. They are a perfect 13-0 in their home games this year and I think they are going to continue to dominate on their home floor in this game. Their defense has been really good in their home games lately, they have not given up 65+ points to an opposing team in their 3 most recent home games. I think their defense is going to play a big factor in this game and will be the reason why they take an early lead and hang on, adding to it as the game goes on. Marshall is in last place of their group in the conference and they have really been struggling in conference play this year at 4-11. They have been very bad in their road games too, winning just 3/12 road games this year. Marshall has won 2/3 of their previous 3 games but their schedule has not been strong and has featured 2 teams of those 3 who are in last place of their respective group in the conference, not including Marshall themselves. I think they are going to have a tough time scoring points on Middle Tennessee here and I think Middle Tennessee will just blow past them on their home court as they have been doing to teams lately that are a lot better than Marshall is. I think this is going to be another Middle Tennessee home blow out. I like Middle Tennessee to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 84-64 Middle Tennessee State. | |||||||
02-23-22 | Washington +9.5 v. Washington State | 70-78 | Win | 100 | 18 h 54 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington. I like Washington to cover the spread against Washington State in this game on Wednesday. Washington has lost 3 games in a row and all of their losses have been by 10+ points during that time. All 3 of those games were also against ranked teams and they had to play 2 of them as road games too. Washington is no match for those ranked teams they faced but I think they will have an easier time here try to win this game against a team of a lesser skill level. I think Washington will play hard in this game after 3 bad performances against ranked teams and I expect them to come with a fire lit under them since they are playing another Washington school. They haven't been great in their road games this year but they still have a record above .500 in conference play and I think they can hold their own in this game. Washington State hasn't been great either with a record below .500 in conference play this year and they have actually lost 5 games in a row now. They have also played 2 ranked teams in their previous 2 games and their previous 3 games were all road games too. I think they are going to be a bit tired here from the level of competition they have played and all the travel that they've had to endure with it. I expect Washington to come to play and not get destroyed by another State rival team. I also think this will be a closer game since both teams have lost a few games in a row and I expect both will be desperate for a win here when each know they could get a win against the other since neither team is really great. I think this is going to be a closer game so I like Washington to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 72-69 Washington State. | |||||||
02-23-22 | Xavier v. Providence -1.5 | 92-99 | Win | 100 | 14 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Providence. I like Providence to cover the spread against Xavier in this game on Wednesday. Providence has looked really good in their games lately and I think they can keep that up in this game too. They have won 9/10 games of their previous 10 and their 1 loss was against Villanova who is another ranked team. That was their only home loss all year since they are 14-1 in home games and that loss came in their most recent home game too so I think they will try to respond to that game with a much better performance here. In their most recent game, they won by 1 point in a road game over Butler but they were trailing right from the start of that game. They overcame their huge deficit in that game and managed to win the game in the end. I think the will play a lot better on their home court here and Xavier has not looked good in their games lately. Xavier has really taken a dive lately and they now have a record below .500 in conference play. They are also just a measly 4-4 in road games this year and they have looked terrible lately. They have lost 2 games in a row but they only have 1/5 wins over their previous 5 games. They just lost their last 2 road games and their most recent game was a road game that they lost by 10+ points. I think Xavier has been going downhill lately and I don't see them turning things around here against 1 of the best teams in their conference and a top 25 team in the country. Providence will have a lot of confidence from their comeback win and they have looked a lot better than Xavier has anyway. I like Providence to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 75-64 Providence. | |||||||
02-22-22 | Kansas State v. Kansas -12 | 83-102 | Win | 100 | 16 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas. I like Kansas to cover the spread against Kansas State in this game on Tuesday. Kansas has won 3 games in a row but they have looked really good in those games lately. Their 2 most recent games were both won by 10+ points and they were even in a road game in their most recent game. I think Kansas will play much better on their home court and they should continue playing at a high level into this game. They only have 5 games but they are in the driver's seat at the moment as they can finish at the top of the Big 12 if they win out the rest of the year. They still have 2 ranked teams left on their schedule too so I think they will use this game as a way to rack up another win and they should be able to bury them here on their home court. Kansas has won 3 home games in a row and 2 of those games were won by 15+ points. They have also dominated on their home floor this year at 13-1 and they have dominated conference play at 11-2. Kansas State hasn't been terrible this year but they are only 5-5 in road games and I think they are going to struggle in this hostile environment against 1 of the best teams in the country. Kansas barely scraped by in their earlier meeting this year with Kansas State, winning that road game by 3 points but I think being on their home court with the season winding down will be a good excuse for them to get rolling into March and I think they will want to get a much bigger win to make up for that close game last time. I like Kansas to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 80-60 Kansas. | |||||||
02-22-22 | St. Thomas v. North Dakota OVER 149 | 84-74 | Win | 100 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St Thomas/North Dakota OVER. I am on the over in the St Thomas vs North Dakota game on Tuesday. St Thomas doesn't put up a lot of points in their games but they have been putting up 60+ points in 7 games in a row but I think they can put up more points in this game and keep it close. They have been terrible in conference play this year and they have lost 12 games in a row but North Dakota is the only team below them in conference play this year so I think this game will be close enough where both teams put up a lot of points. These 2 teams just met a few weeks ago and North Dakota won that road game 78-70 but I think St Thomas will give a much harder effort on their home court here and that was also the most recent game that St Thomas scored 70+ points in. They don't give a good defensive effort in their games though since they have given up 75+ points in 12 games in a row and a lot of those games they actually gave up 80+ points in. North Dakota has been just as bad with their defensive effort though and they have given up 70+ points in 17 games in a row, and that includes games that they have even won. North Dakota has been terrible on defense all year and they have only held 3 different opposing teams of their 29 games overall this year to less than 70 points. North Dakota has also lost 3 games in a row and their most recent win was against St Thomas too. I think both of these teams are going to try hard for a win here and they should keep the score close with each other all night. I also expect the defensive effort to be minimal from both teams in this game. I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 82-79 North Dakota. | |||||||
02-21-22 | Arizona State +14.5 v. UCLA | 52-66 | Win | 100 | 16 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arizona State. I like Arizona State to cover the spread against UCLA in this game on Monday. Arizona State has won 3 games in a row now and they have looked really good in those games. Their 2 most recent games were both wins by 20+ points at home and they even squeaked out a road win right before those games. They haven't been great on the road this year but they did beat UCLA a few weeks ago in a home games and I think they can go into UCLA's building here and keep this game close at least. UCLA has won 2 games in a row now and both wins were by 20+ points but they just broke out of a funk that they were in and I think Arizona State can give them a good challenge here. Arizona State just won 2 games in a row by 20+ points and I think they can carry over that momentum in this game. UCLA has been giving a great defensive effort in their previous games but Arizona State has been doing the same since they have not given up 60+ points to the opposing team in 3 games in a row. I think Arizona State is going to keep playing very well on defense here since they have finally found a way to win games with their defensive effort. I think both teams will probably give a very good defensive effort here and I don't expect UCLA to run away with this game at any point. I think Arizona State will keep this game close and I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 71-64 UCLA. | |||||||
02-21-22 | Florida State -1 v. Boston College | 55-71 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Florida State. I like Florida State to cover the spread against Boston College in this game on Monday. Florida State has been terrible lately and they can't seem to buy a win since they only have 1/8 wins over their previous 8 games. I still think they are a way better team than Boston College is though and I think Florida State will use this game to stop the bleeding and get what should be an easy win for them. Florida State hasn't looked good lately but they have also been playing some tougher teams in their conference and I think they are catching a break with this matchup here. Florida State is only 7-9 in conference play this year but that is a lot better than Boston College and their 4-11 record in conference play. Boston College has lost 5 games in a row, including their 2 most recent home games where they lost by 9+ points in both games. Boston College just scored 95 points in a game the other day but that game is only 1/10 of their previous 10 games that they were able to put up 70+ points in. Florida State has a much stronger offense and I think they are going to outscore Boston College in this game. Boston College hasn't looked good on defense lately either and their defensive effort has been minimal in a lot of their games lately. I expect Florida State to stop their bleeding here and get a much needed win. I like Florida State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 73-65 Florida State. | |||||||
02-20-22 | Marquette v. Creighton -1 | 82-83 | Push | 0 | 8 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Creighton. I like Creighton to cover the spread against Marquette in this game on Sunday. Creighton has won 4 games in a row now and they have looked really good in those games. They have won their 3 most recent games by 10+ points and I think they are continue playing great in this game too. They have looked great at home this year at 9-3 and they have been climbing up the standings lately with their surge that they are on. I think Creighton can get the win here on their home court, especially when Marquette has a road record below .500. Marquette just won their most recent game but they had lost 2 in a row before getting that win and both of those losses were in road games too. They have lost 3 road games in a row now and I think they are going to continue struggling in road games here. Creighton has looked a lot better lately and they have been winning their games by big margins. I think they can come away with a win over Marquette since Marquette has been giving up a lot of points lately. They have given up 80+ points in 2/3 of their previous 3 games and they have done it in their 2 most recent road games too. Creighton has been putting out a very good defensive effort lately, they have given up 70+ points in 1/4 of their previous 4 games and they even gave up less than 60 points in 2 of those games. Marquette has been up and down lately and I think they will struggle in this road game like they have for most of the year. Creighton is surging at the moment and with the season winding down they will come to play their best basketball here. I like Creighton to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 77-69 Creighton. | |||||||
02-20-22 | NJIT -1 v. Maine | 61-65 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: NJIT. I like NJIT to cover the spread against Maine in this game on Sunday. NJIT hasn't been having a good year but they have looked a lot better in their games lately. They have won 3/4 of their previous 4 games and I think they can win another here. NJIT hasn't been great in their road games this year but they haven't been terrible either at 5-6. They have also struggled in their conference play but so has Maine who is occupying the last place spot in their conference. NJIT won their most recent road game too and even though they haven't had things go their way this year, they still have 11/24 wins this year while Maine only has 5/25 wins this year. Maine has been terrible this year and they can't even catch a break in their home games sine they are 4-7 this year. NJIT is at least a respectable 6-8 in conference play too but Maine is 2-12 and they can't get anything going for them. Maine has lost 2 games in a row now but they only have 1 win over their previous 8 games and I think they are going to lose another game here. Both of their 2 most recent losses were by 10+ points and 1 of the games was even on their home court. They have actually lost 3 home games in a row and all of those losses were by 10+ points. I think Maine is the worst team in this conference by far and I expect NJIT to come into their building and pull off the win. I like NJIT to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 69-63 NJIT. | |||||||
02-19-22 | Colorado v. Stanford -2.5 | 70-53 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Stanford. I like Stanford to cover the spread against Colorado in this game on Saturday. Stanford has looked shaky in their games lately but i think they can stop the bleeding here and get a win over Colorado. Stanford is 10-4 in home games this year and their defensive play has looked a lot better in their games lately. They haven't given up 70+ points to the opposing team in 3 in a row now and I think they can keep that going here. They have only played 1 home game over their previous 3 but that game ended in a win for them. I think they will give a good defensive effort here on their home court and they will be motivated to put an end to the streak Colorado is on. Colorado has won 4 games in a row but they are only 4-4 in road games this year. Also, all 4 of those wins were against the worst 3 teams in their conference and I think they are going to have a much tougher challenge here with Stanford. Colorado has also played their 2 most recent games on the road and I think this 3rd road game in a row against a much better team than what they have seen lately is going to get to them. I think Stanford will give a good defensive effort here being on their home floor and that should be enough to edge out Colorado here who can get derailed quickly if their shooting goes cold. Colorado's previous 3 losses were all game where they couldn't put up more than 60 points and I think this will be another one of those games where they will struggle. I like Stanford to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 71-62 Stanford. | |||||||
02-19-22 | Georgetown +20.5 v. Villanova | 66-74 | Win | 100 | 8 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Georgetown. I like Georgetown to cover the spread against Villanova in this game on Saturday. Georgetown has lost 15 games in a row and they don't have a single win in conference play this year but it is highly unlikely that will stay like that until the end of the year, statistically speaking. They only have 5 games left and not much opportunity to get a win but I think they will be more motivated than ever to play their tails off here and try to get that 1st win in conference play. They haven't looked terrible in their games lately either, they have lost 4 games in a row by 10+ points but none of those losses were by more than 14 points. I think they are going to play hard here and I expect them to keep this game close at least even if they still lose. The last time they played Villanova they were leading for most of the 1st half but collapsed in the 2nd half and ended up losing by 11 points. Villanova hasn't been playing their best lately anyway. Villanova has won 4 games in a row but their 3 most recent games have all been wins by less than 10 points. Even at home their previous 3 wins were not by more than 11 points in any of them. I think Georgetown is going to play desperate in this game and with how Villanova has looked lately, Georgetown should be able to keep this game close at least even if they don't win it. I like Georgetown to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 77-67 Villanova. | |||||||
02-19-22 | Clemson v. Louisville +1 | 61-70 | Win | 100 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Louisville. I like Louisville to cover the spread against the Clemson in this game on Saturday. Louisville has lost 7 games in a row but I think they are going to stop the bleeding here. Their 2 most recent games they have looked much better in and have kept those games closer with good defense too. I think Louisville will have a better time playing well on defense on their home court here and Clemson is actually lower in the standings than they are. Louisville has lost 4/5 of their previous 5 games to teams that are in the top 4 of this conference at the moment. I think they will catch a break here with Clemson and they should be able to get this win. Clemson is 2-7 in road games this year and they actually have a worse record than Louisville does in conference play. Clemson hasn't looked great lately either losing 5 games in a row and 2/3 of their previous 3 losses were by 10+ points. Clemson has also given up 75+ points to the opposing team in 4 games in a row and I think their lack of defense here will be the nail in their coffin. Louisville will play better on their home court and their defensive play has also been a lot better and I think that will give them an edge in this game. I like Louisville to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 73-65 Louisville. | |||||||
02-19-22 | Texas Tech v. Texas -3 | Top | 61-55 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 0 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Texas. I like Texas to cover the spread against Texas Tech in this game on Saturday. Texas has won 3/4 games of their previous 4 and they just won their most recent game. They have looked really good at home this year at 15-1 and I think they can get the win over Texas Tech on their home court here. They have won 4 games in a row on their home court and have even won 2 of those over ranked teams. I think Texas has looked really good with their defense lately too and I think they will get some key stops and turnovers here to get the edge in this game. They are giving up less than 60 points per game and I think their defensive play is going to be key for them in winning this game. Texas Tech hasn't been great in road games this year either at 2-5 and I think Texas will get the better of them on their home court here. Texas Tech has won 2 games in a row but both of those wins were at home and their last loss came in a road game by 10+ points. Texas Tech hasn't looked as good as Texas with their defense and I think Texas is going to be able to put up more points on them. Texas also lost in a road game to Texas tech at the beginning of this month so that loss will still be on their mind in this game. I expect Texas to come motivated to play here and I think they can get the win here. I like Texas to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 72-66 Texas. | |||||||
02-18-22 | Wright State v. Oakland -4 | 78-74 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oakland. I like Oakland to cover the spread against Wright State in this game on Friday. Oakland has won 2 games in a row now and I think they are going to make that 3 games in a row here. Oakland has been having a great year in their conference play, they are 12-4 in conference play and have the 2nd place spot at the moment but a win here can tie Cleveland State in conference record for 1st place. Oakland is a perfect 8-0 in their home games this year and they just won their most recent game by 15+ points on their home court. Of those 8 home games this year, only 1 of them was not won by 10+ points and I think Oakland is going to do what they usually do on their home court and win this game by 10+ points here. They have looked really good on their home court all year and the opposing team here, Wright State, is just a measly 6-6 in road games this year. They are still 12-6 in conference play this year but most of their wins have been in conference play since they are only 15-12 overall this year and I think Oakland is just a much better team. Wright State has lost 2 games in a row and I don't think they are going to turn things around here in this road game when they haven't looked that great lately. They have a loss to Milwaukee in their previous 2 games, who is having a terrible year, and their most recent loss was against Northern Kentucky who is playing very well this year but Oakland has been performing even better than them. I think Oakland is building up 1 final run here with few games left in the season and I expect them to play hard here to try and win out the rest of the year. Wright State had a good run but they look like they have been running out of gas lately and I can't trust them to play well here in this road game when Oakland has looked really good lately. I like Oakland to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 75-64 Oakland. | |||||||
02-17-22 | East Carolina v. South Florida | 65-57 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: South Florida. I like South Florida to cover the spread against East Carolina in this game on Thursday. South Florida has lost 3 games in a row now and I think it is time for them to end that losing skid with a win here on their home court. South Florida hasn't been great this year but neither has East Carolina and I think this is a good spot for South Florida to win a game. East Carolina has been struggling in their conference play just like South Florida and they are 3-9 this year. East Carolina has also had issues in their road games though and they are 1-5 in road games this year. East Carolina did win over Tulsa over a week ago, giving them their 1st road win this year, but they have still lost 7/8 games of their previous 8 and they haven't looked good lately. The win over Tulsa isn't impressive since Tulsa is the only team in their conference that is lower in the standings than both East Carolina and South Florida. Their 3 most recent road games were all losses by 10+ points and 2 of those losses were even by 20+ points. Both of these teams have been bad all year but South Florida has a much better chance of winning this game on their home court and I think they are due for a bounce back win here. East Carolina has had issues in road games lately and those issues have gone on all year, I don't see them playing well in this road game since they haven't in most of their road games. I like South Florida to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 67-62 South Florida. | |||||||
02-16-22 | Pittsburgh v. North Carolina -13 | 76-67 | Loss | -115 | 15 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: North Carolina. I like North Carolina to cover the spread against Pittsburgh in this game on Wednesday. North Carolina looked a lot better in their most recent game after 2 bad ones and I think they will be able to beat up on Pittsburgh here on their home court. North Carolina have looked even better on their home court this year and most of their games there have been big wins for them. They are 13-1 in home games this year with 12 of those wins coming by 10+ points and the 1 loss they suffered at home was to Duke who is 1 of the best teams in the country. Every other home game in conference play that they have played this year ended as a win for them by 10+ points too. Pittsburgh is not 1 of the better teams in this conference and I don't think they will be able to keep up with North Carolina in this road game. Pittsburgh has struggled in conference play this year with a 5-10 record but even worse they are 2-8 in road games. They have won 2 games in a row now but they haven't really played any of the good teams in this conference during that time and North Carolina is a top 3 team at the moment. Pittsburgh has also lost most of their road games in conference play this year by 10+ points too. I think North Carolina will continue to play well on their home court here and I expect them to get a blowout win here to get back into their groove while Pittsburgh continues to have issues in their road games. I like North Carolina to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 87-67 North Carolina. | |||||||
02-15-22 | Arkansas v. Missouri +7.5 | 76-57 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Missouri. I like Missouri to cover the spread against Arkansas in this game on Tuesday. Missouri has looked a lot better in their games lately and I think they have been improving a lot in those games. They are only 7-5 in their home games this year but they have looked really good in a lot of those games and even the games they have lost in have only been by a few points in a lot of them. I think they can keep up with Arkansas on their home court and they have looked a lot better winning 2/3 of their previous 3 games. They have been great on their home court in conference play too, they only won 2/5 games but the 3 games they lost 2 of them were by 1 point and the other was by 3 points. Arkansas has looked really good in their games lately too, putting together a huge win streak that was ended by Auburn but they haven't looked great in their road games this year and I think they will struggle against Missouri here. Arkansas is only 3-3 in road games this year and all 3 of their losses have been in conference play. They just lost their most recent game by 1 point to Alabama and that was a road game too. Arkansas has not blown out many teams in their road games this year and I don't think they will be able to here with an improving Missouri team coming their way. I think Missouri will keep this game close at home, I like Missouri to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 72-68 Arkansas. | |||||||
02-14-22 | Duquesne v. Davidson -12.5 | 61-72 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Davidson. I like Davidson to cover the spread against Duquesne in this game on Monday. Davidson just lost their most recent game to Rhode Island but that game was on the road and they had won 4 games in a row before that loss. Davidson has looked a lot better in their home games lately than in their road games and I think they will play a lot better in this game. They are leading their conference with a 10-2 record in conference play and they have been a stout 9-1 on their home court this year. Their previous 3 home wins in conference play were all by 10 points or less but they were also all north of 7 points and I think Davidson should be able to handle Duquesne, who is the worst team in the conference at the moment, pretty easily on their home court here. This is still the same team that put together a 15 game win streak earlier this year and right now they are in the driver seat since they have a clear path to their conference title. I expect them to beat up on a bad team here on their home court and take advantage of what should be an easy conference win for them. Duquesne not only has the worst overall record in their conference, but they are also in last place with a 1-9 record in conference play and they have been just as bad in road games winning 1/7 this year. They won their very 1st game in conference play this year but have lost 9 in a row now and haven't been able to pick up another conference win this year. Duquesne has been blown out in their previous 3 road games and I think they won't be able to match up with Davidson in this game. I like Davidson to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 79-57 Davidson. | |||||||
02-13-22 | Robert Morris v. Youngstown State -7 | 73-68 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Youngstown State. I like Youngstown State to cover the spread against Robert Morris in this game on Sunday. Youngstown State has won 6 games in a row now and they have looked good in those games lately. They just won their most recent game by 10+ points and 3/4 of their previous 4 home games have been won by 10+ points too, with the other being a win by 7 over Oakland. I like the defensive effort that they have been giving in their games lately too, they have only given up 70+ points in 1 game of their previous 4. They have also looked good in most of their home games this year and their games in conference play. I can't say the same for Robert Morris though, they have been terrible in conference play this year and even worse in their road games. They are 4-12 in conference play and 2-11 in road games and I don't think they are going to have much of a chance on the road against Youngstown State who has looked really good lately. Robert Morris has lost 2 games in a row, only 1 of those games were lost by 10+ points but they were both at home too. Their most recent road game was a win over IUPUI who doesn't even have a win in conference play this year but their 4 road games before that were all losses and most of them were not even close. I think Youngstown State has been rolling lately and I don't think Robert Morris is going to be the team that is going to slow them down with how bad they have been this year. I like Youngstown State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 75-64 Youngstown State. | |||||||
02-12-22 | Ole Miss v. Missouri -1.5 | 68-74 | Win | 100 | 13 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Missouri. I like Missouri to cover the spread against Ole Miss in this game on Saturday. Missouri hasn't looked great lately winning 1/6 games in their previous 6 and they just lost their most recent game by 8 to Vanderbilt. Ole Miss hasn't looked any better though and I think Missouri can get a win here on their home court in this game. They have not been having a good year but they are above .500 in their home games this year and I think this is their best shot to win a game and start to build some momentum in this final stretch of the year. They have lost 3 home games in a row but they have looked really good in those games and were very close to beating some very good teams. All 3 of those losses were within 3 points and 1 of those losses was even by 1 point against Auburn who was ranked 1st in the country at the time. They have even upset Alabama on their home court this year. Ole Miss is lower in than the standings than Missouri is and they have struggled a lot in conference play this year winning just 3/11 games. They have also looked terrible in their road games with wins in 1/5 road games this year. They have lost 2 games in a row and I think they are going to continue to skid here in a hostile environment against a team that has looked good on their home court and has been able to compete with some really good teams on their home floor. I think Missouri is playing better and I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 76-70 Missouri. | |||||||
02-12-22 | Delaware State v. Howard -18.5 | 72-85 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Howard. I like Howard to cover the spread against Delaware State in this game on Saturday. Howard has won 3 games in a row and they just won their most recent game by 50+ points on their home court. They held the opposing team to less than 40 points and I think they can continue to play great defense in this game too. They haven't given up 70+ points to the opposing team in 4 games in a row and I think their great defense will be what helps them pull away in this game and cover the spread here. They just played Delaware State less than 1 week ago and they only won that road game by 5 points. I think they can do much better when they're on their home court again and I expect them to lay a beating on Delaware State here. Delaware State is the worst team in their conference and they are only 2-18 overall this year. They haven't won a game in conference play yet losing all 7 and they have been terrible in road games too losing all 8 of their road games. Delaware State has only won 2 games this year but they have lost 16 games in a row since that previous win. They don't put up a lot of points either and have only put up 60+ points in 1 game of their previous 3. I think Howard can take advantage of them here on their home court and I expect a Howard to pull away early in this game. I like Howard to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 75-47 Howard. |
