Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Today is best colllege hoop day of the year

13) 51 college basketball games today, all tournament games; lot on the line. This is the best full day of the college basketball season. Friday night's card will be the best half-day of the season, with ton of tournament semi-final games.

12) UNLV 67, Nevada 46-- Wolf Pack fired coach David Carter before the fans at this game got thru the buffet at their hotels.

11) Florida State 76, Clemson 73-- Tigers have been in the ACC since it started up in 1953 but have never won this tournament.

10) People are clamoring for Murray State to be in the NCAAs because they went thru their league unbeaten before losing by a point in the tournament final, but fact of the matter is their league isn't very good.

Racers got pounded back in November by Xavier and Valparaiso and lost to Portland, Houston, two mediocre teams. They have no great out of conference wins, which meant they would have to win the OVC tourney to get it and they didn't. Just the way it is; it is unfair that lot of "money teams" won't schedule Murray State because they know there's a good chance they'll lose, but they have to find tougher games somehow, and then they have to play better in those games.

9) Colorado Rockies had a split squad Tuesday; half the squad faced the Dodgers and Clayton Kershaw, the other half Felix Hernandez. Bad scheduling there.

8) In a perfect world, a banked-in 3-point basket wound count as two points, not three. There are zero people on this planet who try to bank 3-pointers.

7) Kentucky and Florida State are the two tallest college basketball teams.

6) Friend of mine was headed to Las Vegas for the Kentucky Derby, but because it is the same night as the Mayweather fight, Harrah's wanted $500 for Saturday night, so my friend pushed his trip back a week. Smart man.

5) ACC tournament will be played in Brooklyn in 2017 and 2018, even though no ACC teams are in the New York City area. None.

4) Central Florida leads the country in a weird stat; teams are shooting 61.5% from the foul line against the Knights this season, the lowest percentage against any team.

3) I still can't figure out why any baseball player would bat right-handed. If you bat lefty you're a few steps closer to first base. What advantage is there to batting righty?

2) Jets traded for Ryan Fitzpatrick, who is a big upgrade over Geno Smith, even though he didn't get a football scholarship in college (he played at Harvard).

1) Will Ferrell is playing in some baseball exhibition games today, an inning for each team in four or five different games all over Arizona. He will play every position over the course of the day, raising money for charity. He is 47 years old; am curious what this is going to look like. I'm sure his helicopter pilot will bave good stories.

See spot. See spot bet: This week's best spot bet opportunities

Letdown spot

The Vanderbilt Commodores went through a lot in the final month of the SEC schedule. Vandy climbed out of the conference basement with an 8-2 SU and ATS run to close out the year, including notable wins over Ole Miss, Alabama, Tennessee and Florida, and earned the No. 7 seed in the SEC tournament. The Commodores also absorbed a sideline scandal when head coach Kevin Stallings was recorded ripping into freshman Wade Baldwin following the win against the Vols, telling Baldwon "I'm going to f-ing kill you!" after he clapped in the face of a Tennessee player.

Vanderbilt meets none other than the Volunteers in its opening game of the SEC tournament Thursday – which is sure to be a sore spot with UT. The Commodores may have peaked a little too soon and could be sitting a little fat and happy with their turnaround to end the year. The Vols edges Vandy in overtime in their first meeting of the season, so this 4.5-point spread may be a touch optimistic.

Lookahead spot

The Pittsburgh Penguins weren’t supposed to be wallowing in the middle of the Eastern Conference come March. The high-powered Pens have fallen off the pace in the playoff race, sitting in the No. 5 spot after splitting games on a recent four-game Western road trip. Pittsburgh has what should be a “gimmie” against the Edmonton Oilers Thursday, but the upcoming calendar could have the Penguins’ focus elsewhere.

The Oilers open a three-game home stand for Pittsburgh, which welcomes the Boston Bruins – who sit eighth in the conference – and Detroit Red Wings – who are just one point behind the Pens in the No. 6 spot. The Penguins could get caught looking ahead to those Saturday and Sunday games against fellow postseason clubs, opening the door for Edmonton, which has two full days off to prepare for Pittsburgh.

Schedule spot

Are the Atlanta Hawks real NBA title contenders or are they about to turn into a pumpkin when the clock strikes 12 with a challenging Western Conference road trip? Atlanta opens a six-game non-conference swing in Denver Wednesday, then travels to Phoenix, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Golden State and Oklahoma City.

That’s a string of six away games in nine days for the Hawks, who have won seven of their last eight overall heading into Wednesday - five of those victories coming at home. Atlanta is a solid 18-4 SU versus Western Conference opponents, going 16-6 ATS in those non-conference games.

AAC tournament Round 1: NCAAB betting cheat sheet
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UCF Knights vs. East Carolina Pirates (-3)

The league's top freshmen scorers will meet when UCF battles East Carolina in the opening round of the American Athletic Conference tournament at the XL Center in Hartford, Conn., on Thursday. Pirates freshman B.J. Tyson and Knights freshman B.J. Taylor lead their teams - and all AAC freshmen - in scoring at 12.5 points each while UCF's Adonys Henriquez adds 10.6 points. The ninth-seeded Knights, who enter the postseason on a four-game skid, lost both meetings to the eighth-seeded Pirates.

The teams rank near the top of the league in 3-point shooting - UCF at 34.8 percent and East Carolina at 34.7 - but the Pirates were third in defending the arc, holding teams to 30.9 percent. The Knights struggled to slow opponents, allowing a league-worst 71.4 points and giving up at least 75 points 10 times. The winner advances to play top-seeded SMU, who beat both teams during the regular season.

TRENDS:

Houston Cougars vs. Tulane Green Wave (-1)

First-year coach Kelvin Sampson knows his Houston team is playing its best basketball as it enters Thursday's first round of the American Athletic Conference tournament at the XL Center in Hartford, Conn., against seventh-seeded Tulane. A three-game win streak - including a 68-63 overtime victory at Tulane - has given the 10th-seeded Cougars encouragement for the future. "I wish we could start the season now," Sampson said after Saturday's regular-season finale. "I promise you our record wouldn't be 12-18. It's not like we felt we were going to make the (NCAA) Tournament. My goal as a head coach coming into a new program ... was to establish a culture and establish an identity."

That new identity includes playing tough despite injuries and departures that have left the Cougars with seven scholarship players for the tournament. Tulane won the first meeting in Houston 68-65 in mid-January but averaged 54.1 points during a 2-10 stretch that followed. The winner plays second-seeded Tulsa, which swept both during the regular season.

TRENDS:

*Cougars are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall.
*Green Wave are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 neutral site games.
*Over is 12-3-1 in Cougars last 16 games following a ATS win.
*Under is 36-16 in Green Wave last 52 overall.

USF Bulls vs. UConn Huskies (-14)

Defending national champion Connecticut has the American Athletic Conference's top scorer and a home-court advantage as it opens the league tournament against USF on Thursday at the XL Center in Hartford, Conn. The Huskies went 6-1 at the XC Center - including a 4-1 record against the AAC - on the way to a sixth-place finish. Senior Ryan Boatright leads the league with 17.8 points while the 11th-seeded Bulls have the nation's youngest roster.

The Bulls finished the regular season losing 14 of 16, including a pair of losses to the Huskies by a combined 27 points. They've been without leading scorer Corey Allen Jr. (NCAA suspension) for the past three games but freshman Troy Holston Jr. has stepped in to fill the void. UConn leads the series 14-2 and the winner faces third-seeded Cincinnati.

TRENDS:

*Huskies are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games following a ATS loss.
*Over is 5-0 in Bulls last 5 road games.
*Bulls are 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
*Under is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings.

Guys,

I've got a great deal of extra work to do this morning so NBA and NHL will be late starting.

It looks like the Dunkel Index is unavailable for a while. They've gone down before, for site upgrades and maintenance, but they've never stayed down this long (over 2 days). This is what you get when you try to use their website:

Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)

I'll keep watch because I'm sure it's temporary

Duncan, Ginobili expected back to face Cavs

SAN ANTONIO — The Spurs plan on being at full strength for Thursday night’s much-anticipated nationally televised showdown with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers at the AT&T Center.

Manu Ginobili missed Tuesday’s 117-107 win over Toronto with a stomach illness. Tim Duncan left the floor in the final minute after hyperextending his left elbow in a collision with the Raptors’ Amir Johnson and Spurs center Tiago Splitter.

For now, the team expects both stars to be available against Cleveland.

The Spurs did not practice Wednesday, with coach Gregg Popovich opting for a light day at the team’s practice facility. Ginobili was asked to stay home, for precautionary reasons. Without the benefit of practice, team officials did not know how Duncan’s elbow has responded, but his injury is not presumed to be serious.

His health, and Ginobili’s, will be re-assessed after Thursday morning’s shootaround.

The Spurs will enter Thursday’s game on a six-game winning streak, their second-longest of the season. The Cavs have won 22 of their past 28.

Warriors stout D making them a solid under play

The under has gone 8-1 in the Warriors last nine games thanks to a defense that has allowed just 96.4 points per game over that stretch.

That makes a big difference when the average total the have faced over the last nine games is 211.4.

Next up for the Warriors is a date with the Nuggets in Denver this Friday.

Game of the Day: Cavaliers at Spurs
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cleveland Cavaliers at San Antonio Spurs (-1, 207)

The Cleveland Cavaliers opened their four-game road trip in impressive fashion on Tuesday and have firmly established themselves as a championship contender. The Cavaliers will try to prove that standing once again when they visit the defending champion San Antonio Spurs on Thursday. The meeting mark LeBron James’ first trip back to San Antonio since a loss in Game 5 of the NBA Finals last season with the Miami Heat.

James averaged 28.2 points on 57.1 percent shooting and 7.8 rebounds in the Finals last season but the Spurs easily fended off the Heat in five games, giving James another reason to leave and start over again in Cleveland. The Cavaliers took a few months to get things going with their revamped roster but have gone 22-5 over the last 27 games to move from sub-.500 into second place in the Eastern Conference, capped by a 127-94 thrashing of the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday. Cleveland could catch a break on Thursday if San Antonio forward Tim Duncan (elbow) is limited.

TV: 9:30 p.m. ET, TNT

LINE HISTORY: Initial lines opened at San Antonio -1 with a total of 207. The line quickly moved to a pick'em with a total of 207.5 at some books.

INJURY REPORT: Cavaliers - F Shawn Marion (Out-Hip) Spurs - F Tim Duncan (Prob-Elbow), G Manu Ginobili (Ques-Illness)

ABOUT THE CAVALIERS (41-25 SU, 32-34 ATS, 24-41-1 O/U): Cleveland got at least 17 points from each of its starters against the Mavericks, led by James’ 27 on 10-of-14 shooting. “I like the way we approached the game,” James told reporters. “We approached the game with a physical aggression mindset both offensively and defensively. We shared the ball and we played with great rhythm, everyone did and it was a great win for us.” The Cavaliers have played only three home games over the last month and will play six of their next eight away from home as they try to hold off Chicago and Toronto for the No. 2 spot in the East.

ABOUT THE SPURS (40-23 SU, 28-33-2 ATS, 29-34 O/U): Duncan suffered a hyperextended left elbow when his arm got caught between Tiago Splitter and Amir Johnson in Tuesday’s 117-107 win over the Raptors, but the 38-year-old reportedly plans to play on Thursday. San Antonio, which is battling for the No. 5 spot in the West, has done the Cavaliers a favor with wins over Chicago and Toronto in the last two games and is enjoying a six-game winning streak as Tony Parker pulls his offense around. The former All-Star averaged 6.8 points on 13-of-50 shooting over a five-game stretch before rebounding to 24.5 points on 40-of-68 in the last four contests.

TRENDS:

*Spurs are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall.
*Over is 8-1 in Cavaliers last 9 vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
*Cavaliers are 2-9 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
*Over is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings.

UCF Knights vs. East Carolina Pirates (-3)

The league's top freshmen scorers will meet when UCF battles East Carolina in the opening round of the American Athletic Conference tournament at the XL Center in Hartford, Conn., on Thursday. Pirates freshman B.J. Tyson and Knights freshman B.J. Taylor lead their teams - and all AAC freshmen - in scoring at 12.5 points each while UCF's Adonys Henriquez adds 10.6 points. The ninth-seeded Knights, who enter the postseason on a four-game skid, lost both meetings to the eighth-seeded Pirates.

The teams rank near the top of the league in 3-point shooting - UCF at 34.8 percent and East Carolina at 34.7 - but the Pirates were third in defending the arc, holding teams to 30.9 percent. The Knights struggled to slow opponents, allowing a league-worst 71.4 points and giving up at least 75 points 10 times. The winner advances to play top-seeded SMU, who beat both teams during the regular season.

TRENDS:

*Knights are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall.
*Over is 5-1-1 in Pirates last 7 overall.
*Favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
*Under is 5-1 in Knights last 6 neutral site games.

Houston Cougars vs. Tulane Green Wave (-1)

First-year coach Kelvin Sampson knows his Houston team is playing its best basketball as it enters Thursday's first round of the American Athletic Conference tournament at the XL Center in Hartford, Conn., against seventh-seeded Tulane. A three-game win streak - including a 68-63 overtime victory at Tulane - has given the 10th-seeded Cougars encouragement for the future. "I wish we could start the season now," Sampson said after Saturday's regular-season finale. "I promise you our record wouldn't be 12-18. It's not like we felt we were going to make the (NCAA) Tournament. My goal as a head coach coming into a new program ... was to establish a culture and establish an identity."

That new identity includes playing tough despite injuries and departures that have left the Cougars with seven scholarship players for the tournament. Tulane won the first meeting in Houston 68-65 in mid-January but averaged 54.1 points during a 2-10 stretch that followed. The winner plays second-seeded Tulsa, which swept both during the regular season.

TRENDS:

*Cougars are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall.
*Green Wave are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 neutral site games.
*Over is 12-3-1 in Cougars last 16 games following a ATS win.
*Under is 36-16 in Green Wave last 52 overall.

USF Bulls vs. UConn Huskies (-14)

Defending national champion Connecticut has the American Athletic Conference's top scorer and a home-court advantage as it opens the league tournament against USF on Thursday at the XL Center in Hartford, Conn. The Huskies went 6-1 at the XC Center - including a 4-1 record against the AAC - on the way to a sixth-place finish. Senior Ryan Boatright leads the league with 17.8 points while the 11th-seeded Bulls have the nation's youngest roster.

The Bulls finished the regular season losing 14 of 16, including a pair of losses to the Huskies by a combined 27 points. They've been without leading scorer Corey Allen Jr. (NCAA suspension) for the past three games but freshman Troy Holston Jr. has stepped in to fill the void. UConn leads the series 14-2 and the winner faces third-seeded Cincinnati.

*Huskies are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games following a ATS loss.
*Over is 5-0 in Bulls last 5 road games.
*Bulls are 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
*Under is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings.

California Golden Bears vs. Arizona Wildcats (-17)

California stunned Arizona when the Wildcats were the top-ranked team in the nation last season and the Golden Bears will try to pull a similar upset Thursday when they meet the top-seeded Wildcats in the second round of the Pac-12 tournament in Las Vegas. California won 60-58 on a last-second shot Feb. 1, 2014, ending Arizona's school-record 21-game winning streak. The Wildcats haven't shown any signs of a relapse this season, beating the eighth-seeded Golden Bears by 23 and 39 points.

Arizona enters this game riding an eight-game winning streak with its only conference losses coming against Oregon State and Arizona State, and a nonconference defeat to UNLV in Las Vegas. California had lost five of six coming into the tournament but shot 58.5 percent from the floor in an 84-59 win Wednesday against Washington State. David Kravish, who had 14 points and 11 rebounds in the upset against Arizona last season, scored a career-high 25 points with eight rebounds and three blocks in the first-round win.

TRENDS:

*Wildcats are 12-2 ATS in their last 14 games overall.
*Over is 4-1 in Golden Bears last 5 overall.
*Under is 17-8-1 in Wildcats last 26 neutral site games.
*Over is 20-7 in the last 27 meetings.

USC Trojans vs. UCLA Bruins (-9, OFF)

After opening the Pac-12 tournament with its biggest win in two seasons under coach Andy Enfield, 12th-seeded USC looks to pull another surprise in Thursday’s quarterfinals against No. 4 UCLA at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The teams are meeting for the second time in nine days after the Bruins closed the regular season with an 85-74 victory at Pauley Pavilion on March 4. The Trojans are riding high after rallying from a 15-point second-half deficit to upset No. 5 seed Arizona State 67-64 in Wednesday’s first round.

Guard Norman Powell is averaging a team-high 16.3 points for the Bruins, who likely need to win two games in Las Vegas in order to secure an NCAA Tournament berth. UCLA closed the regular season with three straight wins and has won nine of its last 10 against the rival Trojans, who lost 13 of their final 15 regular-season games. “Being last in the Pac-12, teams can’t really afford to lose to us,” Trojans guard Julian Jacobs told the Orange County Register. “We’re aware (UCLA) is on the bubble. We’d love to stop them from the tournament.”

TRENDS:

* Over is 4-0 in the last four meetings.
* Favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
* USC is 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Under is 7-1 in UCLA's last eight games following a SU win.

Oregon Ducks vs. Colorado Buffaloes (OFF)

Colorado closed the regular season with four losses in its final six games, but the Buffaloes are back in their comfort zone at the Pac-12 tournament. The 10th-seeded Buffaloes are 8-2 all-time in the league tournament heading into Thursday’s quarterfinal against No. 2 seed Oregon at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Ducks guard Joseph Young, who was named Pac-12 Player of the Year after averaging a league-high 19.8 points, scored 23 points in a 73-60 victory over Colorado in Eugene on Feb. 18.

The Buffaloes showed why they could be a tournament darkhorse with a strong performance Wednesday, when Askia Booker scored 20 points in a 78-71 victory over No. 7 seed Oregon State. Forward Josh Scott was slowed by back pain early in league play, but the 6-10 junior is averaging 23 points and 11.7 rebounds over his last three games. Scott grabbed a career-high 17 rebounds in last month’s loss to the Ducks and will need another strong effort Thursday against an Oregon team that ended the regular season with 11 wins in its final 13 games.

TRENDS:

* Colorado is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Under is 4-1 in the last five meetings.
* Oregon is 5-0 ATS in their last five games overall.
* Over is 5-1 in Colorado's last six games overall.

Stanford Cardinal vs. Utah Utes (OFF)

Utah has much loftier expectations than it had in previous Pac-12 tournament appearances and the third-seeded Utes will take their first step toward a much-coveted title when they meet No. 6 Stanford in the second round Thursday in Las Vegas. Utah received a bye into the quarterfinals thanks to their 13-5 mark during Pac-12 play. The Utes missed a chance at a No. 2 seed when they lost their regular-season finale to Washington, a team Stanford beat by two points in Wednesday’s opening round.

Stanford lost 75-59 to Utah during their only regular-season meeting, but the Cardinal should be fired up after Chasson Randle buried a 3-pointer with 2.4 seconds left to cap the comeback win against Washington. Randle will need to be even better if Stanford hopes to toppled the Utes as he had an otherwise sub-par game, shooting 3-for-11 with 10 points. He’ll be matched against the other top point guard in the Pac-12, Delon Wright, who comes in averaging 14.7 points, 5.3 assists and 4.7 rebounds.

TRENDS:

* Stanford is 0-4 ATS in their last four games overall.
* Utah is 5-1 ATS in their last six games following a SU win.
* Over is 5-1-1 in Stanford's last seven games following a SU win.
* Under is 5-1 in Utah's last six games overall.

Florida State Seminoles vs. Virginia Cavaliers (-11)

Fourth-ranked Virginia begins its quest for a second straight ACC tournament title when it takes on ninth-seeded Florida State in the quarterfinals Thursday at Greensboro, N.C. The top-seeded Cavaliers saw their nine-game winning streak come to an end with a 59-57 loss at Louisville in the finale of the regular season for only its second defeat in league play. Florida State, which lost 51-41 at Virginia last month, held off a late rally to edge Clemson 76-73 in Wednesday's second round.

Virginia, the top team in the nation in scoring defense (50.3), must find a way to contain freshman guard Xavier Rathan-Mayes after his 30-point performance for the Seminoles on Wednesday. The Cavaliers will likely be without second-leading scorer Justin Anderson, who is recovering from an appendectomy after suffering a fractured finger on Feb. 7. Virginia is 7-1 since Anderson went down, led by first team All-ACC pick Malcolm Brogdon.

TRENDS:

*Seminoles are 12-2 ATS in their last 14 vs. Atlantic Coast.
*Under is 13-3 in Cavaliers last 16 vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
*Underdog is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings.
*Under is 15-3 in the last 18 meetings.

North Carolina Tar Heels vs. Louisville Cardinals (+2.5)

No. 13 Louisville begins its maiden voyage in the ACC tournament when it takes on 19th-ranked North Carolina on Thursday in the quarterfinals at Greensboro, N.C. The fourth-seeded Cardinals have won four of their last five games, including a 59-57 victory over conference regular-season champion Virginia last Saturday at home. Fifth seed North Carolina has struggled down the stretch with six losses in its last 10 games, but dispatched Boston College 81-63 in the second round Wednesday.

The Tar Heels may not have 6-9, 280-pound forward Kennedy Meeks, who missed Wednesday's game with an illness, to go against Louisville’s Montrezl Harrell inside. Harrell, who is 6-8 and 240 pounds, has 12 doubles-doubles and scored 22 to go along with 15 rebounds as Louisville beat the Tar Heels 78-68 in overtime on Jan. 31 to gain a split of two meetings. Forward Brice Johnson and point guard Marcus Paige led the way with 17 points apiece for North Carolina on Wednesday.

TRENDS:

* Tar Heels are 2-9-1 ATS in their last 12 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
* Under is 7-1 in Cardinals last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
* Cardinals are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 vs. Atlantic Coast.
* Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

N.C. State Wolfpack vs. Duke Blue Devils (OFF)

March is the time when elite teams cement their legacy by winning close games in pressure-packed situations. Second-ranked Duke begins its quest for spring greatness in Thursday’s ACC tournament quarterfinals against North Carolina State, aiming for its 12th victory in a row. Freshman Jahlil Okafor comes into his first postseason contest after posting 11 20-point efforts and 11 double-doubles, and the Blue Devils have won seven games during their streak by 10 points or fewer.

The Wolfpack are one of three teams (Miami and Notre Dame) to knock off the Blue Devils this season, ending Duke’s season-opening 14-game winning streak with an 87-75 home victory Jan. 11. Anthony Barber started N.C. State’s postseason with a bang in Wednesday’s 81-70 victory over Pittsburgh, scoring 21 of his career-best 34 points in the first half. N.C. State shot 63.6 percent from the field in the second half against Pittsburgh, and hit 55 percent of its shots in the upset of Duke.

TRENDS:

* Over is 16-4-1 in the last 21 games.
* N.C. State is 7-1 ATS in the last eight games overall.
* Duke is 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall.
* Under is 9-3 in Duke's last 12 neutral site games.

Miami Hurricanes vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish (OFF)

Notre Dame finished the regular season with 26 victories, the program’s highest total in more than a century, but the Fighting Irish know what they accomplish starting in Thursday’s ACC quarterfinals against Miami (Fla.) will determine the success of their campaign. A victory for the third-seeded and ninth-ranked Fighting Irish would match the 2010-11 team for second-most in program history (33 in 1908-09). Senior guard Jerian Grant leads the ACC in assists (6.7) while averaging 16.8 points per game.

The sixth-seed Hurricanes have won three in a row and four of their past five, and nearly knocked off the Fighting Irish before blowing a 12-point second-half lead in losing 75-70 at Notre Dame on Jan. 17. Sheldon McClellan scored 16 points in Wednesday’s 59-49 victory over Virginia Tech, and has reached double figures in nine of his past 10 games. Miami has lost five games to ranked teams by a combined total of 33 points.

TRENDS:

* Underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings.
* Notre Dame is 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall.
* Under is 4-1 in Miami's last five games following a SU win.
* Over is 8-2 in Notre Dame's last 10 neutral site games.

Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Florida Gators (-3.5)

A season ago, Florida didn’t lose an SEC game in cruising through the regular season and conference tournament en route to the Final Four. Now, though, the eighth-seeded Gators are staring at the prospect of the program’s first losing season since 1997-98 – back in coach Billy Donovan’s second year in Gainesville – as they prepare to for Thursday’s second-round SEC Tournament contest against ninth-seeded Alabama in Nashville. The winner receives a quarterfinal date with top-ranked and unbeaten Kentucky on Friday.

“I don’t think there is a different agenda from last year’s team,” Donovan said at his weekly news conference Monday. “We are going in there to play against Alabama and try to see if we can move on and advance and play again on Friday. In order for us to do that, we will have to grow and get better as a group.” Florida won two of three to close out the regular season – falling only to Kentucky last Saturday in Lexington – while Alabama avoided a three-game skid by squeaking out a 61-60 victory at Texas A&M on Saturday.

TRENDS:

*Gators are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall.
*Under is 8-3 in Crimson Tide last 11 neutral site games.
*Over is 13-3 in Gators last 16 games following a ATS loss.
*Underdog is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings.

Tennessee Volunteers vs. Vanderbilt Commodores (-4.5)

Barring an unlikely four-day title run, Vanderbilt and Tennessee essentially will be looking to pad their NIT resumes Thursday when they square off for the third time this season in a second-round SEC tournament contest in Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. The seventh-seeded Commodores, who closed the regular season with five straight wins and eight victories in their last 10 outings, appear to be in decent shape for an NIT bid at 19-12, but coach Kevin Stallings isn’t taking anything for granted given the unpredictable nature of March. “I feel like we've made a pretty good case with what we've done lately, but it's just relative to what else is out there,” Stallings told the Nashville Tennessean earlier this week. “(An NIT bid) would be extremely valuable, especially going forward for what this young group will experience.”

At 15-15, meanwhile, the 10th-seeded Volunteers need a win to remain a part of the NIT discussion, but they staggered to the finish in the regular season, losing six of their last seven games. Tennessee, though, split the regular-season series with its in-state rival, with the Volunteers and Commodores each winning on the other’s home floor. “I think our team would be excited to play, regardless of who the opponent was,” Tennessee coach Donnie Tyndall said at his weekly Monday media luncheon. “I think certainly we all understand that's a huge game to both fan bases and both teams, so it will add a little bit to it. I don't think you hide from that or try to sugar coat that in any way.”

TRENDS:

*Commodores are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
*Under is 16-5 in Volunteers last 21 games following a ATS loss.
*Under is 16-5 in the last 21 meetings.
*Underdog is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings.

Texas A&M Aggies vs. Auburn Tigers (OFF)

Texas A&M may need to make some noise in the SEC tournament in order to impress the selection committee and reach the NCAAs. That quest begins Thursday in Nashville, Tenn., where the fifth-seeded Aggies take on 13th-seeded Auburn in the second round. Texas A&M did not help its cause with a lackluster finish to the regular season, dropping its last two games and three of its final four to lose the coveted double-bye.

The Tigers lost their final six games of the regular season before knocking off Mississippi State 74-68 in Wednesday's first round. K.C. Ross-Miller scored 21 points, KT Harrell had 19 and Alex Thompson registered a career-high 16 to give Auburn its first win in the tournament since 2009. The winner advances to take on No. 4 seed LSU on Friday in a game that likely leads to a semifinal matchup with top-ranked and unbeaten Kentucky.

TRENDS:

* Over is 6-1 in the last seven meetings.
* Favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Tigers are 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings.
* Over is 7-1 in Auburn's last eight games following an ATS win.

Ole Miss Rebels vs. South Carolina Gamecocks (OFF)

The last time Ole Miss played in the SEC tournament in Nashville in 2013, it put together a magical run that continued into the NCAA Tournament. The sixth-seeded Rebels hit the floor at Bridgestone Arena once again Thursday, taking on No. 11 seed South Carolina in a second-round matchup, this time with its status for the Big Dance up in the air. Andy Kennedy's team is on the tournament bubble after dropping three of its last four games, including an 86-77 home loss to Vanderbilt on Saturday.

"We've got a veteran group that's been in these conversations several times," Kennedy told reporters Wednesday. "My hope is that their focus is on what they can control, and that's playing well on Thursday night." While the Rebels had a lackluster finish to their regular season, the Gamecocks seemed to right their ship down the stretch and posted a 63-54 victory over Missouri in Wednesday's first round. The winner advances to take on No. 3 seed Georgia on Friday in the quarterfinals.

TRENDS:

* South Carolina is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
* The underdog 12-3 ATS in the last 15 meetings.
* Under is 8-1 in South Carolina's last nine neutral site games.
* Over is 4-1 in Mississippi's last five neutral site games.

Michigan Wolverines vs. Illinois Fighting Illini (-3.5)

Few rivalries have produced the dramatic finishes that Michigan and Illinois have since the end of last season. The ninth-seeded Wolverines and eighth-seeded Illini renew acquaintances for the fourth time in less than a year on Thursday when they square off in a second-round Big Ten tournament game in Chicago. Michigan blew a 13-point second-half lead in last season’s second-round matchup with the Illini, but recovered just in time to pull out a 64-63 win en route to runner-up finish.

Each of the teams’ meetings this season went into overtime, with the Wolverines rallying from a 13-point deficit for a 73-65 victory on Dec. 30 and the Illini digging out of a seven-point hole with less than three minutes left to secure a 64-52 win on Feb. 12. Michigan won for only the second time in nine games last weekend, riding a season-high 31 points from freshman Aubrey Dawkins to a 79-69 home victory over last-place Rutgers. The Illini saw their tenuous NCAA Tournament hopes take a hit following Saturday’s 63-58 setback at Purdue and likely need to make a deep run at this event after going 5-11 against the RPI Top 100.

TRENDS:

*Fighting Illini are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 vs. Big Ten.
*Under is 8-3 in Wolverines last 11 games following a ATS win.
*Under is 7-3 in Fighting Illini last 10 vs. Big Ten.
*Wolverines are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings.

Northwestern Wildcats vs. Indiana Hoosiers (-3.5)

Indiana finds itself squarely on the NCAA Tournament bubble thanks to a three-game skid to end the regular season. The No. 7 seed Hoosiers look to avenge the first of those defeats Thursday when they face 10th-seeded Northwestern in second-round action at the Big Ten tournament in Chicago. Although Indiana hasn’t won two in a row since a four-game run in January, eight of its nine conference losses have come against opponents that finished above them in the standings.

The one outlier of that bunch came when Indiana fell 72-65 in Evanston, Ill. on Feb. 25, which coincidentally was the final victory of the Wildcats’ four-game conference winning streak – the school’s longest since the 1966-67 season. Northwestern dropped two of its last regular-season contests following that meeting with the Hoosiers, but its 5-2 finish was enough to give the school its highest seeding in this tournament since 2012. The Wildcats were unable to end the regular season strong, however, losing 69-52 at Iowa on Saturday

TRENDS:

*Hoosiers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. Big Ten.
*Over is 4-1 in Wildcats last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
*Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.
*Wildcats are 18-4 ATS in the last 22 meetings.

Penn State Nittany Lions vs. Iowa Hawkeyes (-7, OFF)

Few teams played worse than Iowa at the end of last year, but only one conference rival carries more momentum into the postseason this time around. The fifth-seeded Hawkeyes look to build upon their longest league winning streak in 28 years Thursday when they meet No. 13 seed Penn State in the second round of the Big Ten tournament in Chicago. Iowa finished the 2013-14 season by losing seven of its final eight games, including first-round losses in the conference tournament and NCAA Tournament.

The Hawkeyes enter this postseason with six straight victories – one shy of Maryland’s seven-game run – with the only close call over that stretch coming in an 81-77 overtime road victory against the Nittany Lions on Feb. 28. Penn State on Wednesday ended a three-year winless drought in conference tournament action, nearly giving up a 16-point second-half advantage before recovering for a 68-65 victory over Nebraska. The Nittany Lions, who improved to 10-17 at this event, recorded a tournament- and school-record 16 blocked shots in the victory.

TRENDS:

* Over is 4-0 in the last four meetings.
* Favorite is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings.
* Iowa is 5-0-1 ATS in their last six games versus the Big Ten.
* Over is 4-0 in Penn State's last four games overall.

Minnesota Golden Gophers vs. Ohio State Buckeyes (OFF)

Ohio State’s D'Angelo Russell was the most impressive freshman among a loaded class of Big Ten rookies, although Minnesota likely saw the best and worst of him in their only meeting. The league’s second-leading scorer will get his first taste of conference tournament action Thursday when his sixth-seeded Buckeyes meet the Golden Gophers in a second-round game in Chicago. Russell was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year, edging out Maryland’s Melo Trimble and Indiana’s James Blackmon Jr.

The first-team all-conference performer ran Minnesota ragged in the first half of the Buckeyes’ 74-72 overtime win on Jan. 6, going 10-of-12 from the floor – including 5-of-5 beyond the arc – en route to a 25-point first half before the Golden Gophers held him to two points on 0-of-7 shooting after the break. Minnesota, the 11th seed, earned the right to avenge that setback with Wednesday’s 80-68 first-round victory over Rutgers. The win was only the Gophers’ second in the last seven games and marked the second time the Big Ten’s third-highest scoring team reached 80 points in regulation against a conference foe, with both instances coming against the Scarlet Knights.

TRENDS:

* Under is 3-0-1 in the last four meetings.
* Favorites is 13-3 ATS in the last 16 meetings.
* Minnesota is 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings.
* Over is 4-1 in Ohio State's last five neutral site games.
