03-23-24 | Oregon v. Creighton -4.5 | 73-86 | Win | 100 | 13 h 38 m | Show | |
Oregon has the momentum on their side as they had to win the Pac-12 tournament to get here. The Blue Jays have two advantages that I like in Tournament play, experienced guard play and a rebounding edge. There are some intriguing matchups in both the front and back courts. I think the back-court matchups will be the difference in this game. The Blue Jays' guards are more experienced and will handle the pressure down the stretch if this game is close. I am looking for Creighton to be able to control the boards and come away with a win and cover. Play on Creighton. This is a 3% play | |||||||
03-23-24 | Texas +6.5 v. Tennessee | 58-62 | Win | 100 | 11 h 42 m | Show | |
I am going with Texas in this one for two very distinct reasons. The first reason is I look for guard play and the Longhorns have two excellent ballhandlers, that can also take over games. Abmas put up 33 on Baylor, and Hunter had a 30-point game against Oklahoma. The second reason is Rick Barnes but more on that later. Texas can also play on the defensive end as they held Colorado State to just 11 points in the first half. Texas will focus their defensive efforts on Knecht, who Tennessee seems to rely on, and try to slow down the Vols. Rick Barnes is known for choking in March. It is funny to think about but Rodney Terry has more Elite Eight appearances in one year at Texas than Barnes has in nine seasons with Tennessee. Tennessee is the better team on paper and should be on the court. I just think with all the history with Barnes and how underachieving Tennessee can be I like the points in this one. Play on Texas. This is a 3% play | |||||||
03-23-24 | Washington State v. Iowa State -6.5 | 56-67 | Win | 100 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |
This game will be about defense, or should I say Iowa State's defense. Iowa State did what they have done all season in the first round and that is, they turned their defense loose. They are playing some of if not the best defense in the country. The Cyclones are 4-0 SU and ATS in their last four games and have won those games by an average of 17 points. They finished the season with an 18-point win over Houston. Washington State had to come from behind to beat Drake and I can't see that happening against this defense. WSU struggled to score against a Drake defense that is not nearly close to Iowa State. They put up just 66 against Drake and have been held under 70 points in three of their last four games. Iowa State is 24-10-1 ATS this season and I look for their defense to shut down the Cougars and come away with a win and cover. Play on Iowa State. This is a 4% play | |||||||
03-23-24 | Michigan State v. North Carolina -4 | 69-85 | Win | 100 | 10 h 35 m | Show | |
Michigan State finally looked like a team that started the season ranked in the top five. Inconsistency has plagued the Spartans all season despite being a senior-laden team. MSU doesn't have the big men to contain Bacout and I look for him to have a huge game. Walker can match RJ Davis shot for shot but I am skeptical of the rest of the Spartans stepping up to hit big shots. MSU keeps this one close for a while but I look for North Carolina to pull away late. Play on North Carolina. This is a 5% play. | |||||||

The Red Wings have won three straight on home ice. Detroit has scored four goals or more in three of their previous four games. Dylan Larkin returned to the lineup which adds some offensive punch. The Predators come in having won four in a row. Nashville has been getting it done between the pipes, allowing two goals or less in four straight. The Predators goalies have limited Detroit skaters to one goal in each of their last two home games against them. Nashville has won seven of their last nine games overall and three of four at home. Detroit lost five straight on the road. Detroit struggles on the road and they will once again here. Play on Nashville. This is a 4% play | |||||||
03-23-24 | Red Wings v. Predators OVER 6 | 0-1 | Loss | -120 | 7 h 13 m | Show | |
The last time these two teams played in Detroit, they combined for nine goals with Detroit winning 5-4. Both teams rank in the top half of the league in average goals scored per game, with the Red Wings ranking seventh overall. The addition of Larkin back into the lineup adds some extra punch to the Detroit offense, evident by the two goals in his return. As good as their offense is, Detroit's defense ranks near the bottom in several key defensive categories, including average goals allowed per game. The Red Wings have gone over the goal total in three straight games overall and three straight games away from their home arena. Despite Nashville holding Detroit to a goal in each of the last two home games. I am looking for a higher scoring game. Play on the OVER. This is a 3% play | |||||||

Grand Canyon played a weak schedule this season and there were not a lot of good defensive teams in their conference. Saint Mary's has a defense that has shut down some of the best offenses in the country. The Gaels like to play at a slow pace and work for a good shot. They have great shooters and a big-time scorer in Aidan Mahoney, who can take a game over. Grand Canyon has not faced a defense like St Mary’s this season. St Mary's has covered the spread in eight of its last 10 games. Grand Canyon is a great story but I think they are overmatched in this game. Play on St. Mary’s this is a 3% play | |||||||

On the defensive end, they are giving up 71.3 points per game. New Mexico has a balanced approach on the offensive end but also has a player in House who can take a game over if needed.

New Mexico has held four straight opponents under 70 points. The Tigers lost three of four, gave up 75+ points in three straight, and have failed to score 70 twice in March so far.

Washington State has been inconsistent on the offensive end this season and don’t shoot the three ball well. Drake has tournament experience which should play a factor if this game is close down the stretch. I will take Drake and Devries to pull off the slight upset. Play on Drake.

We have an intriguing 12-5 matchup in the West Region with the McNeese State Cowboys, who finished at 30-3, against the Gonzaga Bulldogs, who finished the season at 25-7. The Cowboys went 17-1 in their conference and have won 11 straight games. They have scored more than 74 points per game on the road. They will be at a disadvantage on the boards so extra possessions will be hard to come by. The Bulldogs have won nine of their last 10 games. They are scoring more than 83 points per game and are making over 51 percent of their shots. The Bulldogs have held their last three opponents under 68 points per game. McNeese State loves to shoot the three ball and i feel that the only way for them to win is get hot from deep. They are not used to playing in a large arena so it may take them some time to get their shots to fall. The Zags should be able to dominate with their two big men in the paint. They shoot a combined 60% from the floor and should be able to control the boards, giving them second chance opportunities and limiting the same for McNeese State. I am laying the points with Gonzaga in this one as the avoid they 12-5 upset. Play on Gonzaga. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

Kentucky finished one game out of first place in the SEC. They won five of their last six games to finish the season. Kentucky has an explosive offense and even though they have struggled at times on the defensive end I feel that Oakland isn’t efficient enough on the offensive end to take advantage. Oakland doesn't defend the three-ball well and Kentucky can light it up from deep. Kentucky will also have an advantage on the boards which should lead to second-chance opportunities. Oakland can keep this close for a half but will get blown out in the second half. Play on Kentucky. This is a 2% play | |||||||

The Fighting Illini have gone 3-1 ATS over their last four games. The Fighting Illini can be taken advantage of on the defensive end but I don’t believe Morehead State has the offense to do it. Morehead State has had 12 days off so it may take some time to get their in-game touch going. Illinois has two guys who can get a bucket when needed, to hit 26 free throws in the Big Ten title game. Morehead State has played just two tournament games this season and has not faced a team like Illinois. Illinois lack of defensive effort can worry you in this one but I don’t think Morehead State will be able to score enough. Play on Illinois. This is a 2% play | |||||||

The Dukes prefer to play at a slower style and limit possessions. The Dukes have been playing great on the defensive end, allowing 70 points on their 8-game winning streak. The Dukes have the guard play to control this game and when you live by the three you die by the three. I think BYU wins the game but Duquesne covers the number.

The LA Dodgers and the San Diego Padres wrap up their South Korea series early Thursday morning. The Dodgers took the opener 5-2 yesterday. The Padres will send Joe Musgrove to the mound and the Dodgers will counter with Yoshinobu Yamamoto, making his major league debut. The Padres couldn’t get much done at the plate scoring two runs on four hits but were still winning until a fluke play cost them a big inning. The Padres used eight pitchers in the game. Musgrove went 10-3 last year in just 17 starts as he was limited due to injury. He posted a 3.05 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP. He struck out 97 batters 97 innings. This spring, he has thrown six innings with an ERA of 13.50 and a 1.83 WHIP. He has not fared well against LA, posting an 0-7 record and a 3.92 ERA. The Dodgers got lucky yesterday with a fluke play in the eighth on a routine double play ball that they turned into a four run inning and a win and a cover on the run-line. The Dodgers offense didn't really do a lot despite getting seven hits and nine walks. Yamamoto will make his first-ever MLB start after coming over from Japan. This spring, he has an ERA of 8.38 and a WHIP of 1.96 while striking out 14 batters in 9.2 innings pitched. Musgrove is 0-7 in his career against the Dodgers. The Padres’ offense looked a lot like last years offense will have to try and get their offense going against an unknown pitcher. The Dodgers also struggled to score but not for a lack of trying as they produced seven hits and nine walks. If yesterday was any indication, I don’t see Musgrove going long as the Padres used eight pitchers yesterday and I expect the same format today. Play on the LA Dodgers. This is a 3% play | |||||||

The Cavaliers are riding their defense, which is allowing just 109.5 points a game. On the offensive end, they putting up 113.5 points a game. Cleveland will be missing the services of Donovan Mitchell, Dean Wade, Max Strus, and Evan Mobley. Both team are dealing with injuried to key players.

The 2024 MLB season will kick off early on Wednesday as the Los Angeles Dodgers take on the San Diego Padres in South Korea. The rich get richer as the Dodgers won over 100 games for the second straight season and then went out and got the best player in baseball as well as the best pitcher in Japan. Last season, they were second in runs per game, 3rd in home runs, and 3rd in slugging percentage. The Dodgers went through 17 starting pitchers last season as the staff was beset by injuries. The Dodgers will hand the ball to Tyler Glasnow for their opener. This spring he has produced a 0.90 ERA with 14 strikeouts in 10 innings pitched and a WHIP of just 0.70. The San Diego Padres went all in last season and it did not go well for them. Their high-powered offense struggled and their pitching staff was hit by injuries. The Padres start Yu Darvish in the opener. This spring, he posted a 2.89 ERA with 10 strikeouts in 9.1 innings pitched. He is 4-5 vs. the Dodgers with a sparkling 2.38 ERA. If the Dodgers don’t win a hundred games this year, I will be shocked. They have the best lineup in baseball with Ohtan, Betts, and Freeman at the top. Darvish has lost a bit off his fastball and his swing and miss rate declined last season. The Padres are trying to figure out their bullpen without Hader as their closer. I am taking the Dodgers to open the season with a win and playing them on the run-line for value. Play on the LA Dodgers on the run-line. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

Colorado State is a balanced team that puts up 76.7 points per game on the offensive end and on the defensive end, they give up 68.1 points per game. Virginia relies on their defense which allows just 59.1 points a game which ranks third in the country. They have to rely on their defense as their offense has been woeful, putting up just 63.5 points a game which ranks 356th. I don’t believe Virginia should even be in the Tournament and got in on name only. Their offense has been bad all season and down the stretch they scored 50 points or less in five games. Both teams are pretty even on the defensive end while Colorado State has the better offense. Virginia also has been poor at the charity stripe this season which could play an important role down the stretch. The Mountain West has been the better conference this season so I am riding with Colorado State in this one. Play on Colorado State on the money line. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

Golden State is putting up 118.4 points a game on 47.2% shooting from the field and 37.8% from deep. On the defensive end, they allow 116.8 points a game.

Illinois State has an advantage on the defensive end as they give up 67.7 points a game while Valpo allows 78.6 points a game. Illinois State shot just 1-18 from deep and I expect them to shoot better in this game. I am riding the better team and better defense in this one. Play on Illinois State. This is a 3% play | |||||||

The Lakers barely edged out the Wizards after a crazy comeback against the Clippers so a let down could be in store for the Lakers. The injury to Murray could be a concern in this one but we have seen over time that other players will step up. Both teams are playing their third game in four nights. James and Davis had to play a lot minutes over the last two games and play a roll in this one. With or without Murrray. I like Denver to get the win on the road. Play on Denver.

Over the last four games, Detroit’s netminder Lyon has given up just eight goals. Islander’s goalie Ilya Sorokin has allowed 15 goals over the last four games. Detroit scored 8 in their last game and should be able to find the back of the net against Sorokin. Lyon has been playing well as of late and I don’t see a struggling Islanders offense being able to score more than a goal or two. Play on Detroit. This is a 3% play. | |||||||
