Games to Watch
January 14, 2013
The ranks of the unbeaten in men's college basketball dwindled to none with recent losses by Duke, Michigan and Arizona. This along with a few other shocking upsets over the course of last week's games should cause a major shake-up in this week's polls as well as open the door for a few other hot teams to continue their climb up to the top of the rankings.
Turning to this week's games, the following is a brief look at the top matchup on each day's slate along with a few facts and figures to help handicap the games.
Monday, Jan. 14
No. 3 Louisville Cardinals vs. Connecticut Huskies
Louisville finds itself near the top of the Big East with last Wednesday's victory over Seton Hall along with a 64-38 rout of South Florida this past Saturday as an 18 ½-point home favorite. The Cardinals are now 15-1 straight-up overall and 3-0 in conference play. They are 9-7 against the spread this season and a profitable 5-2 ATS on the road. Louisville's Russ Smith is averaging 18.7 points a game with Peyton Siva chipping-in 11.9 points and a team-high 5.8 assists.
Kevin Ollie has done an excellent job at coaching the surprising Huskies to a 12-3 SU start that includes an impressive 65-58 upset of No.17 Notre Dame as 8 ½-point road underdogs this past Saturday. Connecticut is 5-6 ATS and the total has gone OVER in two of its last three games. Another main reason for this team's early success can be attributed to the stellar play of Shabazz Napier (17.5 points and 4.0 assists) and Ryan Boatright (16.1 points and 4.5 rebounds).
Tuesday, Jan. 15
Wisconsin Badgers vs. No. 5 Indiana Hoosiers
The Badgers remained undefeated in Big Ten play with a huge 74-51 victory over No.12 Illinois this past Saturday as 6 ½-point favorites at home. The win raised their overall record to 12-4 SU but they are still 5-9 ATS. This was the just the second time in Wisconsin's last seven games that it was able to cover the spread. The total has stayed UNDER in five of those seven games. It is a perfect 10-0 SU against Indiana in the past 10 meetings and 8-2 ATS.
Indiana posted its sixth-straight victory with Saturday's 88-81 win over Minnesota, but it failed to cover as an eight-point home favorite. This leaves the Hoosiers 15-1 SU and 9-4 ATS with the total going OVER in four of its last seven games. They continue to lead the nation in scoring with an average of 87.1 points a game while shooting a deadly 51.1 percent from the floor. Cody Zeller has led the way with 16.6 points and 7.8 rebounds a game.
Wednesday, Jan. 16
No. 20 N.C. State Wolfpack vs. Maryland Terrapins
The Wolfpack will be moving up the charts with their 84-76 upset of Duke this past Saturday as one-point home underdogs. It was their 10th-straight victory to move to 14-2 SU overall and it also tied them with Miami for the lead in the ACC at 3-0. NC State is 8-6 ATS this season and the total has gone OVER in four of its last five games. It comes into this matchup as the No.1 shooting team in the nation with a field goal percentage of 52.8.
Maryland lost its second-straight ACC game with a 54-47 setback to the Hurricanes this past Sunday as a six-point road underdog. It is now 1-2 in the conference and 13-3 overall. The Terrapins have a 5-4 record ATS and the total has stayed UNDER in three of their last four games. They are averaging 74.8 points and have done a great job under the boards with 43.1 rebounds a game.
Thursday, Jan. 17
No. 11 Florida Gators vs. Texas A&M Aggies
Florida won its first two SEC games with victories this past week over Georgia and LSU. It is now 12-2 SU on the year and 7-4 ATS. The total stayed UNDER in Saturday's game against the Tigers but it had gone OVER in its previous three. The Gators are shooting a respectable 48.3 percent from the field and averaging 73.6 points a game. They have four different players scoring in double figures led by Kenny Boynton's 13.8 point average.
The Aggies are off to a perfect 2-0 SU start in their new conference with back-to-back wins over Arkansas as 1 ½-point home favorites and Kentucky as 15-point underdogs on the road. They are 12-3 SU overall and 5-3 ATS. The total has stayed UNDER in three of their last four games with a posted line. Texas A&M is led by Elston Turner, who leads the team in scoring (17.1 points) and rebounds (6.5). As a team, the Aggies are averaging 66.7 points a game.
Friday, Jan. 18
Stony Brook Seawolves vs. Vermont Catamounts
With a very thin schedule of games on Friday night, the America East will take center-stage on ESPNU with a matchup between two of the top teams in the conference. Stony Brook heads into Tuesday's matchup against Boston University at 12-4 SU overall and 3-0 in conference play. It is averaging 67.1 points a game while shooting 42.3 percent from the floor. The Seawolves boast a trio of players scoring in double-figures led by Jameel Warney's 12.3 points a game.
Vermont faces-off against Binghamton on Wednesday night with a 3-1 SU record in the America East. It is 10-6 SU overall 5-2 at home this season. Its only blemish in the conference was a 63-53 loss to Boston U last Tuesday in a game that had no posted line. The Catamounts have struggled offensively at times with an average of 62.1 points a game and they are shooting 42.1 percent from the floor.

Under the Radar
January 13, 2013
It was a topsy-turvy week in college hoops, especially over the weekend. The last two remaining unbeaten teams (Duke, Michigan) suffered their first losses. A few things remaining relatively unchanged, however, especially if you have been following this column with some regularity.
The Appalachian State Mountaineers (6-8 SU, 9-0 ATS) were a pick 'em or small home dog to the visiting Elon Phoenix (8-7 SU, 6-4 ATS) over the weekend. A huge surge in the first half looked to be the end of App State's dominance against the number, but they stormed back to tie it at halftime, and then the Mountaineers dominated in the second half for yet another cover. They're the only unbeaten team against the spread in major college hoops (minimum five games ATS). We were bit by the Marshall Thundering Herd (8-9 SU, 1-10-1 ATS) early in the week, as they mashed the Tulsa Golden Hurricane (10-7 SU, 7-6 ATS) for their first cover of the season. However, the Thundering Herd was back to form with a road loss against the UTEP Miners (8-6 SU, 7-6 ATS) Saturday night.
Northern Colorado (3-11 SU, 1-11 ATS): The Bears of NCU have been terrible straight-up and against the number. They are also just 2-3 straight-up at home with wins against bad North Dakota and Northern Arizona teams. They have failed to cover five straight games, including all three of their games against the spread at home. Portland State is 5-8 straight-up this season, but an impressive 7-4 ATS. Remember that Thursday when perusing the schedule. Eastern Washington is a pretty terrible team, and it might be a good idea to shy away with two bad teams facing each other.
This week: Portland State, Thursday; Eastern Washington, Saturday
Richmond (11-6 SU, 3-11 ATS): The Spiders are a pretty good overall, but they have been terrible against the number. The Spiders have failed to cover their past two games, six of the past seven, and 11 of the past 13. They've been especially bad on the road, failing to cover four straight. Remember that when they play a good Bulldogs team, although they might be without G Rotnei Clarke (neck). He was hospitalized Saturday in Dayton after leaving on a stretcher following a hard foul. Then, the Spiders face a red-hot Charlotte team at home. It could be an ugly week both in the win-loss column and against the spread.
This week: at Butler, Wednesday; Charlotte, Saturday
Sacramento State (8-6 SU, 2-7-1 ATS): Sac State has been a decent team overall, winning eight of their 14 games straight-up. But they have been woeful against the number, especially of late. While they were road dogs at Eastern Washington Saturday, they won outright to stop the bleeding. But they are still 1-7-1 ATS over their past nine. At first glance, Idaho State is terrible overall, going 3-11 straight-up. But they are 7-6 ATS, so it might be another failed cover for Sac State. Weber State is a good team at 10-3 overall, and they are so-so (5-5) against the number. Check out the trends in that one over the weekend before investing against the Hornets.
This week: at Idaho State, Thursday; at Weber State, Saturday
The Citadel (3-11 SU, 1-7 ATS): The Bulldogs have been terrible straight-up and against the number. They'll take on their cross-town rivals Monday. The Cougars of Charleston are 5-0 straight-up on the road, and 5-2 ATS in their past seven meetings at The Citadel. More importantly, the Bulldogs have failed to cover in seven straight and five SoCon games in a row. Look for the week to get off to a terrible start, which is music to the ears of bettors. Davidson has alternated covers and losses in each of their past six. Look for bettors to continue loading up against The Citadel this week.
This week: Charleston, Monday; at Davidson, Thursday; at Georgia Southern, Saturday
Western Illinois (14-3 SU, 10-3 ATS): The Leathernecks of WIU are 14-3 overall this season, but they are particularly impressive at home. The 'Necks are 9-0 straight-up at home, and that's good news with two more home games coming this week. They have rattled off 11 consecutive victories, and they have covered seven of their past eight. The only failed cover was Jan. 5 against IUPUI, a team which we talked about last week. They, too, have been hot against the spread. The Leathernecks were 5-0 ATS at home until that overtime win against the Jaguars of IUPUI. The South Dakota State team is pretty stout, but they have failed to cover two of their past three. Beware of betting big against North Dakota, however, as they have covered five straight road games, and seven of their past eight.
This week: South Dakota State, Thursday; North Dakota, Saturday

No. 2 Indiana hosts red-hot Wisconsin Tuesday
WISCONSIN BADGERS (12-4)
at INDIANA HOOSIERS (15-1)
Assembly Hall – Bloomington, IN
Tip-off: Tuesday, 9:00 p.m. ET
Line: Indiana -10.5, Total: 134.5
Coming off an impressive 23-point dismantling of then-No. 12 Illinois, Wisconsin will look to upset another Big Ten foe as it heads to No. 2 Indiana on Tuesday night.
Something will have to give in this matchup as the Hoosiers feature the nation’s top scoring offense at 87.1 PPG while the Badgers hold opponents to a pithy 54.7 PPG, the sixth-lowest average in Division I. The Hoosiers make 51.1% FG (fourth in Division I) but have yet to see a defense like this one all season.
Can Indiana win convincingly over defensive-minded Wisconsin in this matchup? For the answer, connect to College Basketball Best Bets for all the Expert picks throughout the entire 2012-13 season. The StatFox experts have a collective 24-18 ATS (57%) mark in the past six days, boosting them to 53% ATS (224-202-8) in college basketball Best Bets for the season, led by StatFox Gary, who sits at 58% ATS (51-37) for the season, while StatFox Dave is at 54.3% ATS (82-69-3) on the year. Dave is also 5-1-1 ATS (83%) since Nov. 24 when he mentions the word "hammer" in his analysis, including 3-1 ATS when he uses the term "Hammertime" for a favorite covering a large spread. StatFox Scott is 51.1% ATS for the season, after going 8-4 ATS since Monday, and StatFox Brian is 4-3 ATS in the past three days.
The Badgers are very tough to blow out with their methodical pace on offense and ability to take care of the basketball with just 8.9 turnovers per game (best in nation). During their current six-game win streak, they have just 7.2 TOPG. Six-foot-10 C Jared Berggren (13.4 PPG, 6.4 RPG) leads the Wisconsin offense from the inside out and is coming off a double-double against the Fighting Illini (15 points, 12 boards). He also blocks 2.1 shots per game, and has 3.0 BPG over the team’s past four contests. Junior G Ben Brust (11.1 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 3.1 APG) runs the point and is a great rebounder despite standing at 6-foot-1. He has been struggling on offense lately though, with just one double-digit scoring output in his last five games, and making just 9-of-28 shots in his past three contests. Wisconsin’s third and final double-digit scorer is senior PF Ryan Evans (11.4 PPG, 7.8 RPG) who has six straight double-figure scoring games with 13.2 PPG and 9.0 RPG during this streak. He and Berggren should be able to effectively compete with the Hoosiers for rebounds and give the Badgers a shot here, as the team holds a +11.2 RPG margin this season, with 41.5 RPG compared to 30.3 RPG from their opponents.
Tom Crean’s Hoosiers also feature one of the top rebounding teams (41.5 RPG, 11th in D-I) and passing teams (17.1 APG, 12th in D-I). Preseason National Player of the Year C Cody Zeller (16.6 PPG, 7.8 RPG) leads the offense with his athletic 7-foot frame, which he has used to make 63.4% FG this season. But the Badgers frustrated him in the two meetings last year, as Zeller had twice as many fouls (8) as rebounds (4) in the pair of defeats. PF Christian Watford (12.9 PPG, 6.7 RPG) joins him in the post, but with the threat to open up the offense, nailing 1.6 three-pointers per game on a 46.3% clip. Swingman Victor Oladipo (13.8 PPG, 5.9 RPG) has the third-highest FG Pct. in the nation at 68.3%, and is also one of the nation's best defenders with 2.4 SPG (T-22nd in D-I). He is coming off an impressive 20-point, three-steal effort in Saturday's win against Minnesota in which he fouled out. G Jordan Hulls (11.6 PPG, 3.7 APG) is a deadly sharpshooter with 2.6 three-pointers per game, making 53% of his attempts from deep, while 6-foot-7 F Will Sheehey (11.4 PPG) is also a scoring asset despite going scoreless (0-for-3 FG) against Minnesota. Freshman PG Kevin "Yogi" Ferrell (6.6 PPG, 5.3 APG) has been a splendid passer in the early going and is coming off one of his best games of the year, a 13-point, eight-assist performance. In the past four games, he has 23 assists and just six turnovers combined.

Kentucky favored big over Tennessee on Tuesday
TENNESSEE VOLUNTERS (8-6)
at KENTUCKY WILDCATS (10-5)
Rupp Arena – Lexington, KY
Tip-off: Tuesday, 7:00 p.m. ET
Line: Kentucky -11.5, Total: 135
Looking to turn their season around, preseason SEC favorite Kentucky will host Tennessee on Tuesday night.
The Wildcats are coming off an embarrassing 12-point loss to Texas A&M in which they were favored by 15 points. They still feature a high-powered offense (77.4 PPG) and enter this game as big favorites against a Volunteers squad that is 0-2 SU in the SEC and hasn't won and covered the same game since Dec. 13, going 3-3 SU (1-3-1 ATS) since. Can Kentucky cover the huge spread against its SEC foe? For the answer, connect to College Basketball Best Bets for all the Expert picks throughout the entire 2012-13 season. The StatFox experts have a collective 24-18 ATS (57%) mark in the past six days, boosting them to 53% ATS (224-202-8) in college basketball Best Bets for the season, led by StatFox Gary, who sits at 58% ATS (51-37) for the season, while StatFox Dave is at 54.3% ATS (82-69-3) on the year. Dave is also 5-1-1 ATS (83%) since Nov. 24 when he mentions the word "hammer" in his analysis, including 3-1 ATS when he uses the term "Hammertime" for a favorite covering a large spread. StatFox Scott is 51.1% ATS for the season, after going 8-4 ATS since Monday, and StatFox Brian is 4-3 ATS in the past three days.
Junior SG Jordan McRae (13.3 PPG) paces the Volunteer attack, but needs to work on his shooting, making just 32.8% of his threes despite launching 4.6 from beyond the arc per game. He’s been sizzling hot lately though, with three consecutive 20-point efforts, a span in which he has made 26-of-49 FG (53%) and 9-of-25 threes (36%). Six-foot-8 PF Jarnell Stokes (11.2 PPG, 7.7 RPG) is Tennessee’s primary post threat and isn’t that tall but makes up for it with his 270-pound build. He’s coming off a weak six-point effort in the team’s loss to Alabama, and made just 2-of-9 shots in last year's 25-point loss in Lexington. Junior PG Trae Golden (11.1 PPG, 4.1 APG) runs the offense and like McRae has struggled as a shooter, hitting a pithy 24.3% three-pointers. He's currently 3-for-21 from downtown in his past nine games. The other guy to watch out for is 6-foot-9 F Kenny Hall (6.5 PPG, 6.3 RPG), who will be key matching up against the Wildcats low-post threats.
John Calipari’s Wildcats have the potential to win this game on the boards, where they average 39.0 RPG and outrebound teams by +4.3 RPG. Six-foot-10 freshman phenom Nerlens Noel (10.8 PPG, 9.3 RPG) leads that effort and also records an incredible 3.7 BPG, good for 4th in the nation. He’s coming off an impressive 15-point, 11-rebound, seven-block, six-assist and four-steal effort in the team’s loss to the Aggies. Noel and fellow freshman Willie Cauley-Stein (7.6 RPG, 5.9 RPG, 2.1 BPG) form an impressive frontcourt alongside Kyle Wiltjer (10.5 PPG), who starts alongside Noel and adds an outside shot. Freshman SG Archie Goodwin (15.7 PPG, 4.9 RPG, 3.6 APG) paces the Kentucky offense, scoring in double-figures in 13 of his 15 games this season. He is joined on the wing by fellow first-year player, F Alex Poythress (13.4 PPG) who makes 63.2% FG and 41.2% threes. Guards Ryan Harrow (10.1 PPG, 3.4 APG) and Julius Mays (8.5 PPG, 3.3 APG) share some of the ball-handling duties for this Kentucky squad with five double-digit scorers.

Wednesday, January 16
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Study group: Wednesday’s Top 25 NCB betting notes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(15) North Carolina State Wolfpack at Maryland Terrapins (-2)
Ten consecutive victories, the latest over previously unbeaten and top-ranked Duke, have North Carolina State soaring as the Wolfpack travel to Maryland. The Terrapins have scored an average of 54.8 points in losses to the Hurricanes and Florida State, after putting up 94 in their conference opener against Virginia Tech. Maryland leads the ACC in field-goal defense, holding opponents to 35.3 percent shooting and rank last in the conference in turnover margin (-3.94). The Wolfpack are 1-10 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
Richmond Spiders at (13) Butler Bulldogs (-9)
Butler received a huge scare in Saturday's win at Dayton when leading scorer Rotnei Clarke was hurt in a harrowing fall. Clarke escaped serious injury and was diagnosed with a sprained neck, but the Bulldogs will be without him for at least the next two games. Richmond is also dealing with an injury to a key player. Forward Derrick Williams (ankle), the team’s second-leading scorer and No. 2 rebounder, will miss his fourth straight game. The Spiders are 0-4 ATS in their last four road games.
(17) Michigan State Spartans at Penn State Nittany Lions (+11)
After losing at Minnesota in the Big Ten opener, the Spartans have needed big second halves to pull away from Purdue, Iowa and Nebraska -- all considered to be middle-tier to bottom-half teams in the conference. The starting backcourt of Keith Appling, Gary Harris and Denzel Valentine combined to shoot just 3-for-22 in Sunday's 66-56 win at home against Nebraska. Penn State has lost four straight, averaging just 49.5 points per game in the process. The Nittany Lions are 0-7 ATS in their last seven Wednesday games.
Georgia Bulldogs at (16) Missouri Tigers (-15)
Missouri will be without leading scorer Laurence Bowers, who sprained the MCL in his right knee last week. The inability of the Bulldogs to establish a second consistent scoring threat besides Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is a big reason Georgia ranks 318th nationally in scoring (59.5 points). The Bulldogs are facing their second ranked team in eight days; Georgia lost by 33 points at Florida on Jan. 9 and is 1-4 ATS in its last five road games.
(18) Kansas State Wildcats at TCU Horned Frogs (+10)
Scoring could be a grind for both teams when Kansas State travels to TCU for a Big 12 game. The Horned Frogs are 341st out of 345 Division I teams in scoring (55.2), taking another tumble after a 51-40 loss Saturday against Baylor. They're eighth in scoring defense (55.3), however. Kansas State has only one player averaging double figures in scoring; senior guard Rodney McGruder (14.9). He’s been especially hot lately, averaging 19.3 points over the last six games. The Horned Frogs are 5-0 ATS in their last five games following a loss and K-State is 0-5-1 ATS in its last six road games.
(21) New Mexico Lobos at Boise State Broncos (-2.5)
Off to its best start since 1987-88, Boise State looks to knock off its second ranked opponent in as many weeks when the Broncos host New Mexico. The Broncos won their seventh straight game last Wednesday against previously unbeaten Wyoming despite missing four suspended players. Three of them have been reinstated in time to face New Mexico. Leading scorer Derrick Marks and reserves Mikey Thompson and Darrious Hamilton have been reinstated after serving one-game suspensions for violating team rules, but reserve center Kenny Buckner’s suspension has been extended through Jan. 23. The Lobos are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games.
(23) UNLV Runnin' Rebels at (14) San Diego State Aztecs (-4.5)
San Diego State will try to start 3-0 in the Mountain West Conference for a third consecutive season when the Aztecs host UNLV. Both teams feature elite scorers/rebounders. Anthony Bennett, a 6-8 freshman forward for UNLV, averages 19.6 points and 9.3 rebounds. Jamaal Franklin, a 6-5 junior guard, averages 17.8 and 10.3 for San Diego State. The Runnin' Rebels are 0-5 ATS in their last five games overall.
