Pick: Syracuse -3.5
UConn will be playing their 4th game in 4 consecutive days. The Huskies last game was a tough outing in which they eked by Pitt on a last second shot to win 76-74. Kemba Walker has been playing very good basketball. However, the Guard had his worst outing of the season when UCONN lost to Syracuse 66-58, back on February 2nd. Walker was 3-14 from the field. The ‘Cuse has won 6 in a row SU, going 5-1 ATS. Forwards Jackson and Joseph are combining for 27.2 PPG and 15.5 RPG. The back court of Triche and Jardine are running the floor very well and will add to their 24.2 PPG. The Orangemen are gaining momentum with each game. They are 4-0 ATS their L4 vs. the Big East, 4-0 ATS their L4 vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600, and 4-0 ATS their L4 overall. Take Syracuse. Thank you. -Joseph D’Amico

Pick: Syracuse -3.5
The Orange won the regular season meeting at UConn by 8 points as their patented matchup zone limited the Huskies to 36.2% shooting. It was especially effective in slowing down Kemba Walker, who managed just 8 points on 3 of 14 shooting. The Syracuse zone should continue to be effective this evening against a tired UConn team playing its 4th game in 4 days. In addition, this is a letdown spot for UConn after such an emotionally and physically draining win over top seed Pittsburgh. I just don’t think the Huskies will have enough left in that tank after yesterday’s battle. Syracuse is really rolling, having won 6 in a row, and I expect it to keep right on rolling here. Lay the points. Jimmy is off to an impressive start in 2011 (106-82, +1595.0), but he is far from satisfied. He’s ready to put the hurt on your man Friday with the 3 strongest investments on the board: 5* Pac-10 Game of the Year (6-2 on 5* NCAAB GOTY plays this season), Tennessee/Florida SEC SMASH (15-6 Conf. Tourney Tear) and Friday NBA *BEST BET* (54-36 NBA Run)! You’re guaranteed to profit or you play FREE Saturday. -Jimmy Boyd (Handicapperspicks.com)

Pick: Washington State +6
Washington suspended Venoy Overton from the Pac-10 tournament while Washington State lifted Klay Thompson’s one-game penalty, clearing him to play in the quarterfinal game against the defending champion Huskies. And Washington might also lose senior co-captain Justin Holiday, who suffered a concussion Saturday and has been unable to practice this week. Meanwhile, Washington State regains the services of Reggie Moore. An ankle injury forced the sophomore point guard to sit out Saturday, but he practiced Wednesday and is ready to return. So Washington is likely down 2 starters and 17.3 points/game, while Washington State gets back 2 starters and 30.9 points/game between them. There’s no way in hell the Huskies should be this heavily favored tonight given the circumstances. WSU won both regular season meetings with Washington, topping the Huskies 87-80 at home and 80-69 on the road. The Huskies will have a hard time avoiding getting swept by the Cougars, let alone trying to beat them by more than 6 points to cover this ridiculous spread. The Huskies are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite. The Cougars are a bubble team right now so they will have no letdown here after already beating the Huskies twice this year. Washington is 0-7 ATS (-7.7 Units) after playing 3 consecutive home games over the last 2 seasons. Take Washington State and the points. -Black Widow

Pick: Vanderbilt -13
LSU comes into the tournament having lost 13 of their last 14 games, and are no match for a very underrated Vanderbilt team. The Commodores beat LSU by 21-point on the road during the regular season. LSU is just 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Vanderbilt is 15-7 ATS in their last 22 neutral site games, while LSU is just 4-10 ATS in their last 14 neutral site games. Vanderbilt is 26-13 ATS in road games versus poor pressure defensive teams – forcing <=14 turnovers/game since 1997. -Info Plays

Pick: Colorado vs. Kansas State Under 148.5
Colorado is a 6.5 point dog. Colorado won BOTH games this year against KSU and although the Buffs screwed me yesterday blowing a cover and a roaring from behind win against a weak ISU team, look for them to give KSU some issues here. While everyone loves a high scoring game here, I do not see it. Both games went under this year WITH THE SAME LINE and the last game was a total of 114 points. WOW. I will be at this game in Kansas City today and caught both games at the Sprint Center. -Tony George (Handicapperspicks.com)

Pick: Clemson -2.5
Clemson has had its way with NC State recently. With last month’s 10-point win over the Wolfpack, the Tigers have now won the last six regular season meetings. Motivated by a tough two-point loss to UNC, expect the Wolfpack to take their frustrations out on the Tigers this evening. When valued as a dog, NC State hasn’t been man’s best friend. In fact, the Pack are a lousy 1-11 ATS in their last 12 games when catching points. They are even 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog of 6.5 points or less. It is also worth noting that the Wolfpack are 0-9 ATS in their last 9 games versus a team with a winning record. Recently, the Tigers have been a strong investment coming off a defeat. In fact, they are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games following a loss. We’ll take Clemson in this bounce back spot tonight. Lay the points. -Jimmy Boyd

Pick: Appalachian State -2
Western Carolina is 23-48 ATS since 1997 and 8-20 ATS last 3 years after a win against a conference opponent. Appalachian State is 7-2 SU at home this year where they are scoring 78.1 points per game. Appalachian State is 22-6 SU overall vs Western Carolina since 1997 including 11-2 SU at home. Catamounts are 6-17-1 ATS in their last 24 games following a SU win. Catamounts are 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 Thursday games. Catamounts are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games as a road underdog of 0.5-6.5. Catamounts are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games following three or more consecutive home games. Mountaineers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite of 0.5-6.5. Mountaineers are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5. Mountaineers are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games following a SU win. Mountaineers are 17-8-1 ATS in their last 26 vs. Southern. Home team is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings. Catamounts are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings. Catamounts are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Appalachian St. We’ll recommend a small play on Appalachian State tonight! Thanks and good luck, Rocky Atkinson (Handicapperspicks.com)

Pick: Michigan +9.5
Big Blue is playing great basketball as of late winning 5 of last 6 straight up and ATS. On the other side ILL have been struggling losing 3 of last 6 both straight up and ATS. McCamey was supposed to become 1st team all league type PG but his inconsistency has really cost this ILL team. MICH is a really shooting the ball well in last 6 shooting a tick over 50% which has allowed them to upset two road teams at PSU and at MSU. Tonight not sure they can pull upset but definitely will cover this number. -Craig Trapp

Pick: Indiana State +1.5
At first I found it hard to believe that Southern Illinois (11-15) one of the worst shooting teams in the country (offensive field goal percentage, ranked 183 shooting 43.1%) is favored in any contest, but when you see that they are playing Indiana State (14-12) who is even worse (ranked 253rd with shooting 41.8%). In the points spread war the Sycamores are 16-9 where the Salukis are only 7-16-1 and the road team is 11-5-1 ATS in the last 17 meetings. Take INDIANA STATE! -Chip Chirimbes

Pick: Cincinnati -1
Tonight at the Fifth Third Arena, in Cincinnati, Ohio we get the Cardinals vs. Bearcats in Big East action. Looking to keep their March Madness dreams a reality the Bearcats NEED a W at home tonight in the worst way. Home has been good to the stingy Cinci D as well. The Bearcats only give up 58 PPG, that number includes 56.4 PPG at home. I have a feeling the Bearcats lack of turnovers will be the difference in this one. The Cardinals lead the big east in steals, but the Bearcats don’t give the ball up (2nd in the big east). A losing trend I’m really looking at to continue for this game includes Louisville being 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 games following a ATS win. Louisville took the only regular season matchup in 09-10, 68-60, but the Bearcats got their revenge in the Big East Tourny, defeating Cards in the 2nd round, 69-66. The Bearcats have four games against RPI Top-50 teams remaining, starting with the Cardinals. -Ray Monohan (Handicapperspicks.com)

Pick: Ohio State +1
I’ll gladly take the top-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes as an underdog to the Wisconsin Badgers Saturday. Sure, Ohio State has lost eight straight at the Kohl Center, but this is a new year and a new team. The Buckeyes have not lost all season, and I fully expect them to put an end to this losing streak in Madison Saturday. They simply have a more talented team across the board. Ohio State has four players who score in double-figures, while the Badgers only has two who average double-digits. The Buckeyes are not only winning on the road, they are blowing teams out by an average of 9.7 PPG. Ohio State is shooting 49.8% on the road this season which is up from what they shoot at home. The Buckeyes have won 12 straight conference road games dating back to last season. They are 9-3 ATS in those 12 road contests. They Buckeyes are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Furthermore, Ohio State is 17-8 ATS in their last 25 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Take the Buckeyes Saturday at a great price. -Jack Jones

Pick: Villanova -3
Beating Nova on its home court is no easy task. That task becomes even more difficult when taking the floor without a key player. That’s what Pitt is up against this evening with star guard Ashton Gibbs sidelined. The Wildcats will be lacking no motivation here. They will be out to avenge an upset loss to Pitt last season, and an upset loss to Rutgers this week will add even more fuel to the fire. Nova is 13-1 at home this season, where it is holding its opponents to just 61.0 ppg. Home court is very important in this matchup considering the home squad has covered the number in 10 of the last 14 meetings. The Wildcats have played their best ball against the best teams they have faced. In fact, Villanova is an impressive 6-0 ATS versus top caliber teams that are outscoring their opponents by 12-plus points per game this season. The Wildcats are defeating these teams by an average score of 76.3 to 67.3. Looking back, Nova is an impressive 11-3 ATS in home games (15 or more games into the season) when playing against top level teams with winning percentages above 80% under coach Jay Wright. We’ll lay the points with Nova tonight. -Jimmy Boyd

Pick: Tulsa +3.5
UCF started the season at 14-0. They are now 14-8. The Knights have lost 8 in a row SU and have failed to cover their L10, including their L6 home contests. Even the son of Michael Jordan (UCF Guard, Marcus) can not help Central Florida get out of their funk. They must now face a well-rested Tulsa team (last game February 5th) that has won their L3 games. Guard Justin Hurtt leads the Golden Hurricanes with 20.2 PPG. Idlet, Haralson, and Clarkson are all adding DDs each game. Centers Idlet and Maduka are sharing time and will dominate the glass along with Forward Joe Richard. The squad leads the Conference with +8 RPG. The Knights are 0-8 ATS their L8 as a favorite, 0-6 ATS their L6 at home, and 0-9 ATS their L9 vs. teams with a winning record. The Golden Hurricanes are 4-1 ATS their L5 as a ‘dog of .5 – 6 ½ points, 3-0-1 ATS their L4 following an ATS loss, and 3-1-1 ATS their L5 games played on Saturday. Take Tulsa. Thank you. -Joseph D’Amico (Handicapperspicks.com)
