College basketball Top 25 betting cheat sheet
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you're looking to get some action down but only have a few minutes to handicap, let our college basketball cheat sheet help you out. We grab the best quick-hitting betting info on each of Saturday’s Top-25 games with odds available.

(22) Pittsburgh at Rutgers (+7)

The Panthers haven't shot the ball well from long range the last two games, including an 0-of-10 performance from 3-point range in a loss to Cincinnati. Rutgers’ guard combo of Eli Carter and Myles Mack is one of the most productive back court duos in the Big East. Carter averages 17.1 points and Mack 13.3, shooting 56.6 percent from the field – 47.8 from 3-point range. Pittsburgh is 5-1 ATS (against the spread) in its last six games following a loss.

Seton Hall at (19) Notre Dame (-9.5)

After closing out the non-conference portion of the schedule with 10 straight wins, Notre Dame will be trying to carry that momentum into Big East play when it hosts Seton Hall. The Fighting Irish lead the nation in assists and rank near the top in field goal percentage thanks to an efficient offense that has averaged 82.6 points over the last five games. Notre Dame has not let a team within single digits during its winning streak.

Wake Forest at (1) Duke (-25)

Duke is putting up 80.1 points per game and winning by an average of 18.3. The Blue Devils have also won five straight versus Wake Forest and 13 consecutive contests at home in the series by an average of 20.0 points. The Demon Deacons are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall.

Purdue at (18) Michigan State (-13)

Michigan State lost its conference opener to Minnesota while allowing a season-high 76 points. The Spartans have always been a tight defensive team under Tom Izzo, but allowed the Golden Gophers to shoot 56.6 percent from the floor in the setback. The Boilermakers are not the sharpest shooting team in the conference and will be trying to out-muscle the Spartans. Michigan State is 0-4 ATS in its last four games overall.

(21) Oklahoma State at Kansas State (-2.5)

The Cowboys are coming off a tough 69-68 home loss to Gonzaga on Dec. 31, while the Wildcats have won four in a row, including an impressive victory over a Top-10 Florida team. Oklahoma State allows just 56.6 points and its opponents are shooting only 36.8 percent from the field. The Wildcats are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games overall.

(16) Georgetown at Marquette (-2)

The Hoyas haven’t played since an easy win against American on Dec. 22. The long layoff could affect a Georgetown team that has struggled to score this season. Marquette is riding a 17-game home winning streak and is 5-1 ATS in its last six Saturday games.

New Orleans at (20) Butler (N/A)

The Bulldogs haven't taken their foot off the pedal since defeating then-No. 1 Indiana 88-86 in overtime Dec. 15. Butler's winning streak reached eight with its 70-57 victory over Pennsylvania on Wednesday and isn't expected to have much trouble with the Privateers, who have lost four straight and seven of their last eight games. The Bulldogs are 8-0 ATS in their last eight games following an ATS loss.

(8) Ohio State at (14) Illinois (+3.5)

Ohio State ventures out for a true road game for only the second time all season when it visits Illinois. The Buckeyes lost at Duke back on Nov. 28 before playing eight consecutive home games, a stretch that culminated with an impressive 70-44 rout of Nebraska in Wednesday’s Big Ten opener. The Fighting Illini are 7-0 at home but began conference play with a thud by losing at Purdue 68-61. Illinois is 1-4 ATS in its last five home games.

Indiana State at (11) Creighton (-14.5)

Creighton has won 13 straight over Indiana State at Omaha and 15 of the last 16 there, with the victories in that span coming by an average of 15.0 points. Creighton has also reeled off six straight wins overall, winning by an average of 18.5 points. The Sycamores' last four wins were by four or fewer points - two of them coming in overtime. Indiana St. is 6-0 ATS in its last six games overall.

St. John’s at (15) Cincinnati (-14)

Both teams have strong back courts and are among the top shot-blocking teams in the country. The Red Storm have lost three of their last five games, including a 98-86 overtime defeat at Villanova on Wednesday. Cincinnati rebounded from its loss to New Mexico with a resounding 70-61 win at Pittsburgh on Monday. The Bearcats have outrebounded teams by an average of more than 10 and St. John’s has struggled on the boards this season. The Red Storm are 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall.

(25) N.C. State at Boston College (+8)

The Eagles begin their ACC slate with perhaps their toughest test to date when they host streaking North Carolina State. Boston College has won five in a row, its longest winning streak in over two years, after a 79-58 trouncing of Dartmouth on New Year's Eve. But the Wolfpack have won seven in a row, the latest an 89-68 win over UNC Greensboro. Coach Mark Gottfried's hot-shooting bunch leads the nation with a 53.5 percent mark from the floor and the team won all three meetings with B.C. last season. The Eagles are 0-4 ATS in their last four games following an ATS win.

Bucknell at (12) Missouri (N/A)

One of the smallest teams in the country last season, the Tigers have remade themselves into the top rebounding team in the nation with Laurence Bowers healthy and Alex Oriakhi transferring into the program to anchor the front court. That size will be a key to keeping Bucknell star Mike Muscala away from the basket. The senior is averaging 18.9 points and 10.7 rebounds. The Tigers are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 Saturday games.

Utah at (3) Arizona (-18.5)

The Utes were a just couple plays short of pulling off a huge road win over Arizona State on Wednesday night in the Pac-12 opener for both teams. Utah held a high-scoring ASU outfit to just 55 points and now faces an unbeaten Arizona squad that rallied from a 17-point first-half deficit, downing the Buffaloes in overtime in a wild Pac-12 opener Thursday. The Utes are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five road games.

(10) Gonzaga at Santa Clara (-5.5)

The Bulldogs shot a season-low 43.4 percent from the field in their win Thursday night at Pepperdine. One player who remained hot is sophomore guard Kevin Pangos, who is 13 for 22 from 3-point range over the last three games. His biggest responsibility against Santa Clara will be guarding senior guard Kevin Foster, who is averaging 19.1 points while shooting 35.3 percent from beyond the arc this season. The Bulldogs are 2-9-2 ATS in their last 13 road games.

Cal. State – Bakersfield at (24) UNLV (N/A)

UNLV bounced back from its loss last Saturday in North Carolina with a 74-52 victory over Chicago State on Thursday. The Rebels have a quick turnaround with another home game Saturday night against Cal State-Bakersfield before opening Mountain West play. UNLV is just 4-12 ATS in its last 16 games following a win.

Hot & Not

January 8, 2013

Conference play has picked up on the college hardwood in the 2012-13 NCAA basketball season, so there's no better time than now to start keeping tabs on some of the best and worst teams heading into the week. The following is a look at what the some of the hottest and coldest teams from a point-spread perspective have on their plate for the upcoming week.

Money-Makers

Indiana State Sycamores (8-3 ATS, 5-0 ATS L/5) - The Sycamores will enter the week having covered each of the L/7 times it took to the college hardwood after barely coming within the 14.5-point spread in a 79-66 loss at Creighton over the weekend. Indy State has played to one of the toughest schedules in the nation per the Pomeroy Ratings, so good things should be in store the rest of the way. They'll look to snag their third MVC win on Wednesday at home against Bradley (4-1 SU & 3-2 ATS L/5 overall and as hosts), and then hit the road for Carbondale to battle a Salukis squad its beaten and covered against in four of the L/5 overall confrontations.

UTEP Miners (5-6 ATS, 5-0 ATS L/5) - Coach Floyd's kids might be a .500 team entering the week, but the Miners have rattled off five straight pointspread covers after easily coming within the 10.5-point spread in their 62-58 loss at Colorado State last Wednesday. They'll hit the road to battle Tulane (1-3 SU & ATS L/5 visits; 1-4 ATS L/5 overall) before returning home to battle Marshall (4-0 SU & 3-1 L/4 as hosts; 7-1 SU & 5-3 ATS L/8 overall) in CUSA play this week.

Arkansas State Red Wolves (6-6 ATS, 5-0 ATS L/5) - Since dropping a tough one at home to Murray State 61-54 (+1.5), Coach Brady's kids have gone on to cover each of their L/5 tilts (4-1 SU) to move to 10-5 SU on the year. Their current four-game win streak doesn't look to be in jeopardy any time soon with games set to go this week against Florida International (2-3 SU & ATS L/5; 5-0 SU & 3-2 ATS L/5 as hosts) at home and Louisiana Lafayette on the road (3-2 SU & ATS L/5 overall; 0-5 SU & 2-3 ATS L/5 visits) provided it can take care of business in the Cajundome.

Money-Burners

Stanford Cardinal (4-8-1 ATS, 0-5 ATS L/5) - The Cardinal haven't covered a game since the middle of December. Since then, they coughed up late game covers/wins against Northwestern and USC, and now have a pair of Pac-12 defeats to start conference play after falling to both the Trojans and Bruins over the weekend. However, after playing on the road for four of their L/5, each of their next three come at home versus Washington State (4-1 SU & 3-2 ATS L/5 as hosts), Washington (3-2 SU & 1-4 ATS L/5 as hosts), and California (4-1 SU & 3-2 ATS L/5 as hosts). Tread with caution, as things could be looking up for this group of underachievers.

West Virginia Mountaineers (2-8-1 ATS, 0-5 ATS L/5) - Things look to be down in a big time way for "Huggy Bear" in Morgantown with the Mountaineers cashing at a bankroll depleting 18 percent clip. Now granted, the schedule has been stiff, but when taking a gander at this squad's offensive stats, they're beyond bad. The team is shooting 39.9% from the field (#300) as well as 28.7% from beyond the arc; has Kevin Pittsnogle run out of eligibility? The Mounty's don't stand a chance in the high flying Big 12 if these woeful shooting percentages continue. Thankfully it runs up against the offensively challenged Texas Longhorns and Kansas State Wildcats this week, but I still don't think they win let alone cover either clash.

Virginia Tech Hokies (5-5-1 ATS, 0-5 ATS L/5) - The first go round of the James Johnson regime has not gone as planned leaving many in Blacksburg clamoring for what the underachieving Greenberg regime used to bring to the table. The Hokies have had an average of 93.0 PPG dropped on them in their L/3 games against Colorado State, BYU, and Maryland, and it now must run up against the up and coming Boston College Eagles (1-4 SU & ATS L/5) at home before hitting the road to take on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (4-1 SU & 3-2 ATS L/5) this week.

Summit League Update

January 9, 2013

Following is a quick update on an intriguing mid-major loop, the Summit League, whose games are listed on the "added" portion of the big boards at Las Vegas sports books. Straight-up and Against the Spread records are thru January 7.

WESTERN ILLINOIS (SUR 12-3, ATS 9-3)...Rugged and functional Leathernecks are hellbent to make Big Dance after losing in double OT vs. South Dakota State in last year's Summit Tourney finale. Coach Jim Molinari is familiar to many from a previous stint at Bradley and has fashioned a hard-nosed squad that wins mostly with defense, allowing only 51.1 ppg, third lowest in the nation. Well-balanced, senior-laden lineup features solid inside-outside threats with C Terrell Parks (13.1 ppg) and F Adam Link (10.2 ppg) doing most of their damage around the bucket while no-nonsense 6th-year sr. G Ceola Clark III (13 ppg; also last year's Summit Defensive MVP)) pulls the strings from the perimeter. Survived tough early-season six-game road trip with only two losses and recently covered six spread decisions in a row. Also making a fortress out of Western Hall in Macomb, where WIU is undefeated SU in eight tries thru Jan. 8.

SOUTH DAKOTA STATE (SUR 11-6, ATS 6-7)...The most recognizable current brand in the Summit after its Big Dance appearance last season and scare that the "Hoosier-like" Jackrabbits it put into Baylor in the sub-regional at Albuquerque. Four starters returned from last year's accomplished side including star G Nate Wolters (21 ppg) and smooth-shooting F Jordan Dykstra (47% triples). Lost in the final seconds at Alabama and won at New Mexico (following an arduous 21-hour bus trip for HC Scott Nagy's side from Nashville and a game vs. Belmont). Everyone in lineup save F Tony Fiegen will shoot the 3-ball. Potential sleeper to watch in March. Note "unders" in 7 of last 8 "totals" thru Jan. 9.

NORTH DAKOTA STATE (SUR 13-3, ATS 11-3)...Legit contender with four starters back from last year's 17-win team and already owning a victory over South Dakota State at Fargo. Deep junior-oriented class that was attracted to NDSU after its 2009 team made it to the Big Dance and put a scare into Kansas. The Bison have their best team since, thanks to arguably the Summit's best frontcourt paced by matchup headache 6'7 F Taylor Braun (15 ppg) and bullish 6'8, 240-lb. Marshall Bjorklund (13 ppg), while spindly 6'7 jr. TrayVonn Wright exudes athleticism. Not terribly embarrassed in pre-Summit road trips to highly-ranked Big Ten foes Indiana and Minnesota. Pace conscious, and "under" 7-1 last eight "totals" on board thru Jan. 9.

OAKLAND (SUR 7-10, ATS 5-9)...The Golden Grizzlies have made noise in recent years for HC Greg Kampe, but this year's edition does not seem a vintage one, as Oakland has struggled to replace last year's national scoring leader Reggie Hamilton. Providence transfer G Duke Mondy has added some firepower, but his efforts have been inconsistent, with rail-thin 6'5 G Travis Bader (19.2 ppg) now the main go-to threat. Oakland has a puncher's chance most nights, but not much size beyond 6-10 C Corey Petros, with defense often shaky, and bench depth lacking.

SOUTH DAKOTA (SUR 7-10, ATS 7-8)...Veteran HC Dave Boots had to replace four starters from last year's 10-18 side (which was in the final year of reclassification after Coyotes stepped up from lower ranks) but seems to have done a decent job reloading on the fly thanks to a slew of transfers and a new backcourt featuring Kansas State transfer G Juevol Myles (15.2 ppg) and juco Karim Rowson (10.2 ppg). Remember that Boots had never experienced a losing campaign at Vermillion in 23 years before last season, and that the Coyotes scored a stunner over rival SDSU last Saturday in the Dakota Dome, where USD also barely lost 73-71 vs. Western Illinois in late November.

IUPU-FORT WAYNE (SUR 6-9, ATS 6-4)...The Mastadons have one of the league's best players in high-scoring G Frank Gaines (19.3 ppg) but often struggle to score when opponents can scheme Gaines out of the offensive flow. But a decent collection of athletes works hard on defensive end for 2nd-year HC Tony Jasick, allowing the Mastadons to hang inside of a few hefty poitnspreads (including a 3-0 mark as DD road dog with covers at Valpo, Drake, and Notre Dame).

IUPUI (SUR 6-13, ATS 5-11)...The Jaguars took their lumps in a rugged pre-league slate (games at Michigan, Valpo, Maryland, and just north of downtown Indy, at Butler) but have made a mild recovery with four covers in their last five games. All of this without leading returning scorer and key G Ian Chiles (10.2 ppg), who has been nursing a toe injury since mid-December, although Purdue sr. transfer G John Hart (14.2 ppg) has been a very welcome addition. And 6'9, 248-lb. Jr. C Mitchell Patton (13.1 ppg) is one of the few post scoring threats in the Summit. Almost upset WIU on the road last week and will now start to play more home games in our favorite-named home venue in the country, The Jungle, a 1215-seat bandbox that has been known to unnerve foes.

UM-KANSAS CITY (SUR 4-12, ATS 7-8)...The Kangaroos have been hopping in the wrong direction this season, failing to adequately replace graduated leading scorer Reggie Chamberlain, though juco transfer Nelson Kirksey (53% from floor) has had his moments at shooting guard. Simply not enough offense, and current 8-game SU losing streak thru Jan. 8 has Summit sources believing 6th-year HC Matt Brown could be in trouble.

NEBRASKA-OMAHA (SUR 4-14, ATS 6-7)...The Mavericks, better known to old-time AFL fans as the alma mater of one-time Denver Broncos QB (and Bills and Dolphins WR) Marlin Briscoe, are transitioning to Division I and ineligible for the Summit Tourney. Brutal road-heavy non-league slate featured trips to Texas Tech, Tulane, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Iowa State, among other venues. Not much defense but Mavs can score some points in their uptempo mode thanks to juco G Justin Simmons (14.6 ppg, but 23 ppg in last three Summit games thru Jan. 10). Just beat UMKC in late December for first win over Summit foes, but defense makes it unlikely the Mavs can pull many upsets this season.

Games to Watch

January 7, 2013

The start of a New Year marked the start of conference play in men’s college basketball. This week’s schedule is jam-packed with a number of crucial matchups featuring some of the top teams in the country including Duke, Michigan and Arizona which all remained perfect on the year with another victory this past weekend.

The following is a brief look at the top matchup for each day of this week along with a few facts and figures to help handicap the games.

Wednesday, Jan. 9

Nebraska Cornhuskers vs. No. 2 Michigan Wolverines

The Cornhuskers have lost back-to-back games to Ohio State and Wisconsin to stumble out to a 0-2 start in Big Ten play. They are now 9-6 SU on the year and 6-7 ATS. The total has stayed UNDER in their last four games with a posted line. Nebraska is ranked near the bottom of Division I in scoring with an average of just 59.1 points a game.

Behind blow-out victories over Northwestern and Iowa the Wolverines have jumped-out to a 2-0 start in conference play and an overall record of 15-0 SU. They have gone 4-1 ATS in their last five games to improve to 9-4 ATS on the year. The total has gone OVER in six of their last seven games. Trey Burke leads the team with 18.2 points and 7.5 assists a game with Tim Hardaway Jr. chipping-in another 16.4 points and 2.9 assists.

Thursday, Jan.10

No. 3 Arizona Wildcats vs. Oregon Ducks

Arizona continues to find ways to win to remain undefeated at 14-0 SU. After a controversial 92-83 overtime victory over Colorado last Thursday as a 12 ½-point home favorite, it squeaked by Utah this past Saturday 60-57 as a 19-point favorite at home. The Wildcats are 7-5 ATS and the total has stayed UNDER in six of their last eight games.

The Ducks got off to a solid start in Pac-12 play with a 79-66 romp over Oregon State this past Sunday as one-point home favorites. They are now 10-2 SU overall and 7-5 ATS with the total staying UNDER in four of their last five games with a posted line. Oregon is averaging 77.5 points a game while shooting 46.7 percent from the field.

Friday, Jan.11

No. 16 Creighton Bluejays vs. Missouri State Bears

Creighton should continue to move up in the rankings with victories over Illinois State and Indiana State last week to improve to 14-1 SU (10-3 ATS) overall. The Bluejays face Drake this Tuesday Night in a Missouri Valley matchup before Friday night’s clash against the Bears. They are scoring an average of 79.5 points a game behind a stellar 51.2 shooting percentage from the floor. Doug McDermott has led the way with 23.1 points a game.

It has been a dreadful first half of the season for Missouri State with an overall record of 4-11 SU, but it is 2-1 in MVC play. Overall the Bears are 4-6 ATS and the total has gone OVER in two of their last three games. Anthony Downing is the only player scoring in double-figures with an average of 14 points a game. The team as a whole is shooting just 39.4 percent from the field.

Saturday, Jan. 12

No. 9 Minnesota Golden Gophers vs. No. 5 Indiana Hoosiers

Minnesota is off to a 2-0 start in the Big Ten heading into Wednesday’s road game against No. 11 Illinois. The Golden Gophers are 14-1 SU (9-4 ATS) overall and the total has stayed UNDER in three of their last four games. Andre Hollins and Rodney Williams are each averaging 13 points a game and Minnesota as a team is pulling down an average of 41.3 rebounds a game.

Indiana’s last outing was a 69-65 victory over Iowa as a seven-point road favorite on Dec. 31 to improve to 13-1 SU on the year. It faces Penn State this Monday night before Saturday’s contest. The Hoosiers are 8-4 ATS and the total has gone OVER in three of their last five games. They are ranked first in the nation in scoring with an average of 87.9 points a game while shooting an impressive 51 percent from the floor.

Washington visits California on Wednesday night

WASHINGTON HUSKIES (9-5)

at CALIFORNIA GOLDEN BEARS (9-5)


Haas Pavilion – Berkeley, CA
Tip-off: Wednesday, 11:00 p.m. ET
Line: California -6.5, Total: 143.5

In the hopes of avoiding a 1-2 start in the Pac-12, California will host Washington on Wednesday night.

For better or for worse, this year’s Golden Bears squad is a one-man show. Allen Crabbe (21.4 PPG) does nearly everything for the offense, as he and Justin Cobbs (15.6 PPG) play nearly every minute of every game. The Huskies provide a more balanced attack with four double-digit scorers, but don’t have the same dominant scorer.

Can the Bears win comfortably over their Pac-12 foe on Wednesday night? For the answer, connect to College Basketball Best Bets for all the Expert picks throughout the entire 2012-13 season. The StatFox experts are a collective 52.1% ATS (200-184-8) in college basketball Best Bets for the season, led by StatFox Gary, who sits at 59.3% ATS (48-33) for the season, while Dave is at 53.3% ATS (73-64-3) on the year. StatFox Scott is an even 50% ATS after going 2-0 ATS since Monday.

With 18.4 PPG, C.J. Wilcox paces the Washington attack and is a workhorse, playing a tasking 35.2 MPG. At 6-foot-5, Wilcox has good size for a guard and is making 2.6 threes per game this year, making him difficult to guard. Scott Suggs (13.5 PPG, 43% 3-pt FG) joins him in the backcourt and is also tall for the position at 6-foot-6. Abdul Gaddy (12.6 PPG, 3.8 APG) runs the offense for the Huskies and needs to take care of the ball better, turning it over 3.4 times per game. The most unheralded weapon for Washington though, may be 7-foot senior center Aziz N’Diaye (11.1 PPG, 9.2 RPG) who is making 62.6% FG and has the potential to be a defensive beast.

Crabbe’s scoring has seen a major uptick this season, jumping 6.2 PPG even though he is making 0.7 fewer three-pointers per game. He has scored at least 20 points in four consecutive games and is coming off a 27-point performance in which he hit 9-of-12 FG in a win at USC. Cobbs hasn’t been as hot lately and is averaging just 11.0 PPG so far in conference play, hitting 8-of-25 (32%) field goals thus far. Beyond these two backcourt dynamos, the Golden Bears rank 30th in the nation in rebounding (40.2 RPG), led by F David Kravish (7.3 PPG, 7.8 RPG) and C Richard Solomon (8.6 PPG, 6.4 RPG).
