The Bum's Best Bets For Saturday March 21th - NBA -NHL-NCAABB- !

[StarDust Bum]

Saturday - Session 1

March 20, 2015

There is a reason that people refer to the men’s NCAA Tournament as March Madness. Anything can happen in a single elimination format regardless of how a team is seeded in its particular region of play.

Moving to this Saturday’s early games in the third round, there is a pair of matchups that are sure to catch the betting public’s attention for two totally different reasons. The first game features two teams that were not even supposed to be in this round and the other features a team striving for a date with destiny.

South Regional- No. 14 UAB vs. No. 11 UCLA (CBS, 12:10 p.m.)
Venue: KFC Yum Center
Location: Louisville, KY
Betting Odds: UCLA -7, Total 138

UAB was one of two major bracket busters in Thursday’s second round action by taking down No. 3 Iowa State in a thrilling 60-59 victory as a heavy 14-point underdog. Including the Blazers’ three-game championship run through last week’s Conference USA Tournament they are now 7-2 straight-up in their last nine games while going 5-3-1 against the spread. The total stayed UNDER the closing 145 ½-point line in Thursday’s win and it has now stayed UNDER in four of their last six games.

Freshman forward William Lee scored UAB’s final four points to sink Iowa State as part of a double-double (14 points and 12 rebounds) on the day. The Blazers’ leading scorer this season with 13.3 points per game is junior guard Robert Brown. He led all scorers in Thursday’s win with 21 points. UAB is averaging 68.9 points a game and shooting 43 percent from the field. Thursday it shot just 34.8 percent from the field, but outrebounded the Cyclones 52-37.

The Bruins were on the right side of a 60-59 upset of No. 6 SMU this past Thursday as four-point underdogs. This was their fifth SU win in their last six games and they have now covered ATS in eight of their last 10 contests. The total stayed UNDER the 132-point closing line against the Mustangs and it has now stayed UNDER in six of their last nine games.

This victory came with quite a bit of controversy after a very questionable goaltending call gave UCLA the lead with just 13 seconds on the clock. None the less, a win is a win and you have to give a ton of credit to sophomore guard Bryce Alford for coming up huge when his team needed it the most. He scored a game-high 27 points while going 9-for-13 from the field. All nine shots went in from three-point range. The Bruins are averaging 72 points this season while shooting 44.1 percent from the field.

Betting Trends:

-- The Blazers covered for the first time in their last five NCAA Tournament games, but they did improve to 5-1 ATS in their last six games played at a neutral site. The total has stayed UNDER in those five games in the NCAA Tournament.

-- The Bruins are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games against a team with a SU winning record, but they have failed to cover in five of their last six nonconference games. The total has gone OVER in five of their last seven games against a C-USA opponent.

-- These two met in late-November this season in the Battle 4 Atlantis with UCLA cruising to an 88-76 victory, but it could not cover as a 14-point favorite. The total went OVER the closing 140 ½-point line.

Midwest Regional: No. 8 Cincinnati Bearcats vs. No. 1 Kentucky Wildcats (CBS 2:40 p.m.)
Venue: KFC Yum Center
Location: Louisville, KY
Betting Odds: Kentucky -18 ½, Total 118 ½

The Bearcats advanced to this Saturday’s showdown with a tight 66-65 victory against No. 9 Purdue this past Thursday. A buzzer beater sent the game into overtime and the Bearcat’s won the extra stanza 7-6. It was Cincinnati’s six SU victory in its last seven games, but it has failed to cover in its last two outings after going a perfect 5-0 ATS in its previous five games. The total went OVER the 117-point closing line after staying UNDER in six of their previous eight games.

Cincinnati would hardly be considered an offensive juggernaut with an average of 62.4 PPG. Junior forward Octavius Ellis leads the team with 10 points a game and he scored seven points in Thursday’s win. Sophomore guard Troy Caupain (9.5 PPG) led the way against the Boilermakers with 10 points including the shot that sent the game to overtime. The Bearcats have relied heavily this season on a defense that is allowing an average of just 55.6 PPG.

The Wildcats (35-0 SU) are one step closer to perfection following Thursday’s 79-56 waltz over No. 16 Hampton, but they could not cover as 35-point favorites. Kentucky has actually been a pretty solid bet since mid-February with an 8-2-1 record ATS in their last 11 games. The total went OVER the 134 ½-point closing line in Thursday’s win and it has gone OVER in six of its last nine outings.

Kentucky’s winning formula this season has been balance and depth on offense complementing a smothering defense that is allowing just 54 PPG. That being said, the romp over the Pirates was the Karl-Anthony Towns’ show. The freshman forward scored a team-high 21 points while going 8-for-12 from the field. The Wildcats’ leading scorer this season, sophomore guard Aaron Harrison (11.1 PPG) was held to just three points in that game after scoring a combined 36 points in his previous three starts.

Betting Trends:

-- The Bearcats have now failed to cover in their last four NCAA Tournament games and they fell to 1-6 ATS in their last seven games played at a neutral site. The total has gone OVER in 11 of their last 16 games in the NCAA Tournament.

-- The Wildcats are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 NCAA Tournament games and 12-3-3 ATS in their last 18 games played at a neutral site. The total has gone OVER in five of their last six games in the NCAA Tournament.

-- These two met one another in the 2005 NCAA Tournament with Kentucky coming away with a 69-60 victory as a 3 ½-point favorite. The total stayed UNDER the closing 138-point line.

Saturday - Session 2

March 20, 2015

West Regional - No. 10 Ohio State vs. No. 2 Arizona (5:15 p.m.)
Venue: Moda Center
Location: Portland, OR
Betting Odds: Arizona -9, 138 ½

These two teams took drastically different routes to reach the third round as they each look for a spot in next week’s Sweet 16. Arizona (32-2 SU, 22-13 ATS) took care of 15th-seeded Texas Southern on Thursday, 93-72 for its 12th consecutive win, but the Wildcats failed to cover as 23 ½-point favorites. The Wildcats had a good chance to cover owning a 26-point advantage with less than three minutes remaining, but Texas Southern outscored Arizona, 7-2 in the final three minutes to grab the ATS win.

Ohio State (24-10 SU, 15-17-1 ATS) erased an early 12-point deficit to tie VCU in the opening minute of the second half in Thursday’s second round matchup. The Buckeyes and Rams went back and forth as the two clubs went to overtime tied at 66, but OSU came out with a 75-72 victory to advance to the round of 32 for the fifth time since 2010. A layup at the buzzer by VCU gave the Rams the cover as four-point underdogs, but guard D’Angelo Russell carried the Buckeyes with a game-high 28 points as OSU shot 49% from the floor.

The Wildcats and Buckeyes are meeting for just the second time ever, as Ohio State edged Arizona in the 2013 Sweet 16 by a 73-70 count. Arizona built a 38-34 halftime edge, but OSU rallied to outscore the Wildcats, 39-32, even though the Buckeyes failed to cover as 3 ½-point favorites. Coincidentally, that game was played at Staples Center, the destination for the winner of Saturday’s contest against the winner of Xavier and Georgia State.

Thad Matta’s club has been up and down all season from an ATS standpoint, as OSU has covered just three of its last nine games. The Buckeyes aren’t a strong team to back in the underdog role, posting a 1-5-1 ATS record with the lone cover coming at Minnesota in overtime in January. Since mid-January, the Wildcats own a solid 14-4 ATS record, but Arizona has covered just four of nine times as single-digit favorites this season. Since a shocking loss at UNLV in December, Sean Miller’s squad has cashed in nine of the past 13 games away from Tucson, while winning 11 times on the highway in this stretch.

West Regional - No. 14 Georgia State vs. No. 6 Xavier (6:10 p.m.)
Venue: Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena
Location: Jacksonville, FL
Betting Odds: Xavier -7 ½, 131 ½

One of the major storylines from Thursday’s action involved several double-digit seeds pulling off upsets as both UAB and Georgia State eliminated strong Big 12 squads. Georgia State (25-9 SU, 16-17 ATS) overcame a late 12-point deficit to score the final 13 points in a 57-56 shocker over third-seeded Baylor. R.J. Hunter’s long three-pointer with three seconds remaining put Georgia State ahead for good as the Sun Belt champions cashed as 9 ½-point underdogs and +400 on the moneyline (Bet $100 to win $400).

Xavier (22-13 SU, 17-16-1 ATS) cruised past Ole Miss, 76-57 on Thursday to cash as two-point favorites and advance to the round of 32 for the first time since 2012. The Musketeers limited the Rebels to 33% shooting from the floor, while Matt Stainbrook and Dee Davis combined for 37 points. Xavier has cashed the ‘under’ in four consecutive games, while holding three of its past four opponents to 63 points or less.

Sun Belt teams haven’t fared well in the NCAA tournament recently, as the last team from this conference to make the round of 32 was Western Kentucky in 2009 after it knocked out Illinois. In fact, Sun Belt squads have now cashed four straight times in the tournament, all as underdogs of at least 9 ½ points (Louisiana-Lafayette in 2014 and Western Kentucky in 2012 and 2013). The Panthers have won all five games played on neutral courts this season, while the victory (and cover) against Baylor was the first in five tries in the underdog role. Georgia State will have to go without its leading scorer once again as guard Ryan Harrow (20.2 ppg) will sit on Saturday with a hamstring injury.

The Musketeers have put together a 4-6 ATS record away from Cincinnati as a favorite, which includes outright losses to Seton Hall, DePaul, Auburn, Long Beach State, and UTEP. Xavier was a coin-flip proposition as a favorite this season, going 13-11 ATS, while posting a 1-4 ATS record as a favorite of five points or more away from the Cintas Center. As mentioned early, the Musketeers have hit the ‘under’ in each postseason game this month, while stretching that ‘under’ streak to 9-2 in the past 11 contests.

Saturday - Session 4

March 20, 2015

West Regional - No. 4 North Carolina vs. No. 5 Arkansas (TNT, 8:40 p.m. )
Venue: Memorial Arena
Location: Jacksonville, FL.
Betting Odds: North Carolina -4.5, Total: 157.5

-- Both of these proud programs got all they wanted and then some in Thursday's first-round action. The Tar Heels and Razorbacks were both fortunate to win outright, and neither covered the spread. Nevertheless, there are two results from every game played in the NCAA Tournament. One team goes home and another survives and advances. And UNC and Arky both survives and advanced, and they'll square off Saturday night in Jacksonville for the right to move on to the Sweet 16.

-- Arkansas (27-8 straight up, 17-17 against the spread) is mired in a 3-7 ATS slump. Mike Anderson's team captured a 56-53 win over Wofford late Thursday night, but it failed to cover the number as a 7.5-point 'chalk.' Michael Qualls made 8-of-9 shots and scored a game-high 20 points to lead the Razorbacks into the win column. But it wasn't easy in any way whatsoever. Wofford led by one at intermission and it was back-and-forth affair for the entire 40 minutes. No team led by more than five points and the game wasn't decided until Wofford missed a pair of potential tying 3's in the final 10 seconds.

-- Bobby Portis, a sophomore power forward who was named SEC Player of the Year, finished with 15 points, 13 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one blocked shot against the Terriers. Portis averages team-highs in scoring (17.5 points per game), rebounding (8.8 RPG), field-goal percentage (54.3%) and blocks (1.4 BPG).

-- The win for Arkansas was its first in the NCAA Tournament since 2008 and just its second since firing Nolan Richardson in 2002. Take a second for those factoids to sink in, especially when considering how nasty this program was under Richardson. Maybe -- just maybe -- for the first time in well over a decade, Arkansas basketball might be back on track under Anderson, who served as Richardson's top assistant in Fayetteville for 17 years (and also played for Richardson at Tulsa).

-- North Carolina (25-11 SU, 19-16-1 ATS) blew a 16-point second-half advantage and fell behind Harvard by two points when Siyani Chambers produced a thrilling four-point play with 1:15 remaining to give the Crimson its first and only lead. But Justin Jackson answered with a basket to tie the game, and then flushed home a go-ahead dunk off a run-out and pass from Marcus Paige after Chambers misfired from 3-point range. On the final possession, Harvard would get a pair of shots from beyond the arc for the win, but Chambers and Wesley Saunders were both off the mark.

-- Saunders torched UNC for 26 points on 8-of-14 shooting from the field. However, UNC's balanced offensive attack led by Jackson's 14 points was just enough to deny the Ivy League school a third straight first-round win in the Tournament. Paige finished with 12 points and seven assists compared to only one turnover.

-- North Carolina has been a single-digit favorite 18 times, posting an 8-10 spread record.

-- Arkansas has been an underdog seven times this season, going 4-3 with three outright victories.

-- The 'over' is 19-14-1 overall for UNC, but the 'under' has cashed at a 6-3 clip in its last nine games.

-- The 'over' is 18-15 overall for the Hogs, but the 'under' has cashed in their last three outings.

-- These teams haven't met since the second round of the 2008 NCAA Tournament when top-seeded UNC cruised to a 108-77 win over Arkansas as a 9.5-point favorite.

Midwest Regional - No. 3 Notre Dame vs. No. 6 Butler (TBS, 9:40 p.m. )
Venue: Consol Arena
Location: Pittsburgh, PA.
Betting Odds: Notre Dame -4.5, Total: 134

-- Notre Dame (30-5 SU, 15-12 ATS) has won six in a row while going 5-1 ATS. Three of the Irish's six recent victims have included Duke, North Carolina and Louisville. Mike Brey's team advanced to the Round of 32 by eliminating Northeastern by a 69-65 count as a 12-point favorite. Notre Dame appeared to be in control with a 12-point lead with less than six minutes remaining, but the Huskies fought back to pull within two with 32.5 ticks left. The Irish committed a turnover to allow Northeastern to have the ball with a chance to go ahead, but the Huskies committed a turnover and Zach Auguste made a pair of free throws to seal the victory.

-- Auguste led the way against Northeastern, producing 25 points and five rebounds on 10-of-14 shooting from the field. Jerian Grant had 17 points and five assists for the winners.

-- Butler (23-10 SU, 18-13 ATS) pulled away late to beat Texas 56-48 as a two-point underdog in Thursday's first-round action. After Texas scored six straight to pull within one point at the 2:41 mark, the Bulldogs responded with six straight points, including Kellen Dunham's dagger trey with 1:15 remaining. Dunham scored a game-high 20 points for the winners.

-- Butler forward Roosevelt Jones missed nearly 10 minutes of action against Texas after spraining his knee. Nevertheless, he did return to the game and is considered 'probable' for Saturday's showdown. Jones averages 12.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.

-- Dunham leads Butler in scoring with a 16.8 PPG average. He makes 41.0 percent from 3-point land and hits 84.8 percent of his free throws.

-- Grant is one of the best point guards in the country. He averages team-bests in scoring (16.8 PPG), assists (6.6 APG) and steals (1.7 SPG).

-- Butler has been an underdog 11 times, producing a 7-4 spread record with six outright victories over the likes of UNC, Georgetown, St. John's and Providence.

-- The 'over' is 13-12 overall for the Irish.

-- The 'under' has cashed in eight consecutive Butler games to improve to 18-11-1 overall for the season.

Saturday, March 21

Saturday's NCAA games
UCLA beat UAB 88-76 in 7th-place game in Bahamas Nov 28, despite Alford going 1-8 from floor (11-12 from line). Alford was 9-11 from arc in UCLA's 60-59 win over SMU; they were down seven with 1:24 left, surviving a 19-0 Mustang run in second half. Bruins have won five of last six games, face a UAB squad that is 2nd-youngest team in tournament (Kentucky). UCLA was -9 in turnovers vs SMU (18-9), hit 1-9 from arc, other than Alford. There have only been four second round games in NCAA tourney with 11-seed facing a 14-seed; favorite covered all four. UAB won its last four games, with three by one point or in OT.

Cincinnati is right over bridge from state of Kentucky; should be quite a scene in Louisville as Kentucky tries to go 37-0 against Bearcats, who in first round, trailed Purdue by 7 with 0:48 left. Cincinnati won six of last seven games; they lost to Ole Miss by 12 in only game vs SEC opponent this season. Cincy is a real good defensive team but they struggle to score vs normal teams, not sure where their points come from here. Kentucky is playing its 18th game this season against a top 50 team; not sure why this one would have different outcome. Over last six years, #1 seeds have gone 15-8-1 vs spread in this round, with four upset losses.

Since 2001, Arizona is 8-1 in second round games, 7-1-1 vs spread; they lost 73-70 to Ohio State however in Sweet 16 game two years ago, when Wildcats blew 11-point first half lead. Over last five years, when 10-seed faces a 2-seed in this round, the dog is 5-2 vs spread. Arizona won its last 12 games, with five of last six wins by 22+ points. Buckeyes won their last five second round games, but were favored in all five. OSU split its last four games, needed ot to beat VCU Thursday; Russell/Scott played 40+ minutes each. Over last three years, Big 14 teams won 11 of their 14 second round games.

Georgia State outscored Baylor 13-0 over last 2:40 to stun Bears 60-59 in first round; a great win, holding Bears scoreless on last nine possessions. Panthers are now 2-4 vs top 100 teams; they've won six games in a row; now they get shot at a Big East school. Since 1999, there have been five 6-14 games in second round; favorite was 5-0 vs spread in those games. Xavier had big edge beating Ole Miss in an afternoon game less than 48 hours after Rebels won their play-in game. Musketeers won four of last five games, but they also have five losses to teams outside top 100, odd for a team as good as they are. Georgia State forces turnovers on 23.2% of possessions, #14 in country.

NC State was down 14 at half Thursday, rallied to beat LSU 66-65 in 1st round; in last 9:00 of game, Tigers were 0-12 from floor, 3-9 on foul line. Wolfpack has now won seven of last nine games after being 14-11 at one point and looking at best like an nit team. Over last six years, #1 seeds have gone 15-8-1 vs spread in this round, with four upsets. Villanova pounded helpless Lafayette for its 16th straight win Thursday, Wildcats beat former Big East rival Syracuse in OT in December, its only game against an ACC team. Villanova hasn't been in Sweet 16 since 2009, dropping last two second round games.

Georgetown is 9-3 against the #54 non-league schedule in country; they have tried to upgrade December schedule. Hoyas made it to Final Four in 2007; since then, they've ost both their second round games by total of seven points. Hoyas won seven of last nine games- they made 11-23 on arc in 84-74 win over Eastern Washington Thursday. Utah got 57-50 win over gritty SF Austin Thursday, holding Lumberjacks to 5-26 on the arc. Utes are now 4-4 in last eight games overall. #4 seeds won seven of last nine 4-5 games; favorites covered five of last seven. Pac-12 teams won six of their last nine second round games.

North Carolina could've easily lost to Harvard in first round, after losing a 16-point second half lead; Tar Heels have zero depth at guard. If Paige is not playing the point, they're not good. UNC won five of last six second round games, losing here to Iowa State LY. Arkansas struggled with solid Wofford style Thursday, forcing only eight turnovers, but won by three in game they trailed by 3 with 4:27 left. Hogs beat Wake by 30, lost in OT at Clemson in its two ACC games. UNC beat Florida by 11, lost to Kentucky by 14 in its SEC games this year. #4 seeds won seven of last nine 4-5 games; favorites covered five of last seven.

Notre Dame won its last six games but coasted in shaky 69-65 first round win over Northeastern, making just 2-6 on arc. Irish lost to Providence in OT by point in their only Big East game this year. In-state rival Butler is just 5-4 in its last nine games; Bulldogs are 11-3 outside Big East- they held Texas to 34% from floor in ugly 56-48 win Thursday. Butler beat North Carolina on neutral court in November, its only ACC game- that has to help their confidence here. Bulldogs hold opponents to 30.7% on arc, #24 in nation defending arc. Favorites are 5-2 vs spread in 3-6 second round games over last seven years.

NIT games
Miami won four of last five games but loss was to Notre Dame in ACC's tournament; Hurricanes beat Florida by hoop in only game vs an SEC foe. Alabama was up 24 at half in its first NIT win under an interim coach in wake of firing Grant Sunday, after going 6-10 in 16 games before that one. 11am tipoff won't help artistic value of this one.

CBI games

CIT tournament
Bowling Green is 2-3 in its last five games after 67-64 win at St Francis in first round; Falcons trailed by hoop with 4:55 left. Canisius lost by 15 to Buffalo in its only MAC games this season; Griffins are 5-2 in last seven games, winning three of last four at home. Canisius forces turnover 21.9% of time, #25 in country.

UT-Martin hammered Northwestern State 104-79 Thursday, after losing three of previous four games; Skyhawks were 16-28 from arc in road tilt, which is amazing shooting. Martin is 9-5 out of conference- they're #19 in country, making 39.2% from arc. SC-Upstate won three of last four games, with their last two wins by point each; Spartans rallied to win its first CIT game over JMU, after they trailed by 8 with 3:08 left.

Sam Houston State is 4-3 in last seven games after starting season 22-5, but two of losses were to league kingpin SF Austin; somehow Bearkats didn't play a Sun Belt team, despite living in east Texas. UL-Lafayette won eight of last nine games, but lost to McNeese State/Northwestern State during regular season, but beat Southland newcomer Incarnate Word by 15 on road in first game of this tournament.

Sacramento State/Northern Arizona tied for 3rd in Big Sky at 13-5; home side won both series meetings this year. Hornets won 78-73 New Year's Day, then lost 70-68 in Flagstaff in regular season finale, which cost CSS shot at hosting conference tourney. NAU won eight of its last ten games after winning at Grand Canyon; they have lousy offense (#281 eFG%) for having such a good team.

Saturday's NCAAB tournament betting cheat sheet

SOUTH REGION:

(14) UAB Blazers vs. (11) UCLA Bruins (-6, 133)

The Blazers stifled Iowa State's potent attack by dominating the boards, limiting second chances for the Cyclones and picking up plenty of their own. William Lee had 12 rebounds and Tyler Madison secured 11 in just 14 minutes off the bench, nine of which came on the offensive end. UAB struggled from long-distance with a 3-of-18 showing, but Brown hit a big one on the final minute to help the Blazers produce a second-round upset of a No. 3 seed for the third straight season.

Bryce Alford was 9-of-11 from 3-point range while becoming the 10th player to reach that mark in a tournament game and the first since 2012, a masterful performance that pleased his father, head coach Steve Alford. "Well, nobody's been critiqued any more than he has on our basketball team throughout the year, and he's been very consistent," the elder Alford said.

TRENDS:

* Under is 8-2 in Bruins last 10 games following a S.U. win.
* Blazers are 5-1 ATS in their last six neutral site games.
* Bruins are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall.


(5) Utah Utes vs. (4) Georgetown Hoyas (+4.5, 125.5)

The Utes committed 17 turnovers Thursday - one shy of their season high, but junior guard Brandon Taylor (10.4 points per game) told reporters: "I think we got the jitters out." Utah needs stronger games from Taylor and senior guard Delon Wright (team bests of 14.8 points and 5.2 assists), who combined to shoot 3-for-12 from the field and record 10 turnovers.

The Hoyas enter their first meeting with Utah after ending a five-game NCAA Tournament losing streak against double-digit seeds. "We just have to go out and prepare for a very tough Utah team,'' coach John Thompson III said. "You keep doing your business, you keep doing what you're supposed to do, eventually people will be quiet (about the streak).''

TRENDS:

* Utes are 21-6-2 ATS in their last 29 non-conference games.
* Hoyas are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games following a ATS win.
* Over is 4-1 in Hoyas last five non-conference games.


MIDWEST REGION:

(8) Cincinnati Bearcats vs. (1) Kentucky Wildcats (-16.5, 118.5)

“We’ll go out there with a lot of confidence,” Bearcats guard Kevin Johnson told reporters. “We’ve got nothing to lose. That’s not a bad position to be in.” Cincinnati joins Kentucky among the top defenses in the country, but must deal with a balanced Wildcats squad that has won 35 games by an average of 21 points.

Freshman Karl-Anthony Towns rebounded from making only three field goals combined in his previous two games to drain 8-of-12 from the field and produce his eighth double-double of the season against Hampton. Leading scorer Aaron Harrison (11.1) registered only three points on 0-of-5 shooting and backcourt mate Devin Booker (10.2) was 1-of-6 against Hampton.

TRENDS:

* Bearcats are 1-6 ATS in their last seven neutral site games.
* Bearcats are 0-4 ATS in their last four NCAA Tournament games.
* Wildcats are 12-3-3 ATS in their last 18 neutral site games.


(6) Butler Bulldgos vs. (3) Notre Dame Fighting Irish (-4.5, 133.5)

The Bulldogs defeated the Longhorns despite shooting 33.3 percent, missing nine of their 13 3-pointers and collecting a total of five offensive rebounds on 32 missed shots en route to a 41-28 deficit on the boards. “We've been able to grind out a lot of wins,” Butler coach Chris Holtmann told the media. “It was a back-and-forth game. ... I can't give our guys enough credit for grinding out this one. To have five field goals in the second half and come away with the win says a lot about them.”

The Fighting Irish enter this matchup having won six in a row overall, although they have not defeated their Indiana rival since 1990, losing each of the last six matchups. They will have a good chance of snapping that streak if they can get another standout performance from Zach Auguste, who shot 10-of-14 for 25 points in Thursday's hard-fought 69-65 win over No. 14 Northeastern.

TRENDS:

* Fighting Irish are 0-7 ATS in their last seven NCAA Tournament games.
* Bulldogs are 7-0 ATS in their last seven vs. Atlantic Coast.
* Over is 5-0 in Fighting Irish last five vs. Big East.


WEST REGION:

(10) Ohio State Buckeyes vs. (2) Arizona Wildcats (-9, 140)

Buckeyes guard D’Angelo Russell scored 28 in a 75-72 overtime win over VCU on Thursday and is averaging 19.6 points, 5.6 boards and five assists. Russell (666) passed former Ohio State star Michael Redd (638) for most points by a freshman in school history and now faces a talented squad that was unhappy with its defense in its tournament opener. “I think the point is that we have to get back to being an excellent defensive team, which takes a lot of effort and concentration,” Arizona coach Sean Miller said at his postgame press conference. “We certainly can do it.”

Wildcats star Stanley Johnson had 22 points in a 93-72 victory over Texas Southern on Thursday to continue his strong season and is averaging 14.3 points and 6.5 rebounds. Forward Brandon Ashley missed the NCAA Tournament last season due to a foot injury and he had 14 points against Texas Southern to continue his strong late-season play. Ashley is averaging 18.2 points with three 20-point outings over the last six games to raise his season average to 12.4, second on the squad behind Johnson.

TRENDS:

* Buckeyes are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 neutral site games.
* Over is 7-0 in Buckeyes last seven non-conference games.
* Wildcats are 1-4 ATS in their last five NCAA Tournament games.


(14) Georgia State Panthers vs. (6) Xavier Musketeers (-6.5, 133)

R.J. Hunter hit the shot, Ron Hunter hit the floor and Georgia State hit this NCAA Tournament with one of the most dramatic comebacks in recent memory, but the next challenge awaits. Somehow the Panthers – playing in their first NCAA Tournament in 14 years – advanced despite leading scorer R.J. Hunter (19.6 points per game) missing seven of his first eight shots and second-leading scorer Ryan Harrow not playing due to a hamstring injury.

The Musketeers shoot 47.3 percent from the field and average 16.3 assists per contest, leading the Big East in both categories, and Matt Stainbrook’s 12.2 points and 6.9 rebounds per game provide Xavier a formidable inside presence. Guard Trevon Bluiett finished second in the conference among freshmen in scoring at 11.5 points per game. Davis averages 6.1 assists (12th nationally) and is fifth on the school’s career assist list.

TRENDS:

* Under is 9-2 in Panthers last 11 games following a S.U. win.
* Under is 5-0 in Musketeers last five neutral site games.
* Panthers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall.


(5) Arkansas Razorbacks vs. (4) North Carolina Tar Heels (-4.5, 157)

Two teams that barely avoided the upset bug in the NCAA Tournament’s round of 64 meet Saturday when No. 5 seed Arkansas faces fourth-seeded North Carolina in Jacksonville, Fla. The Razorbacks advanced with a 56-53 win over No. 12 seed Wofford, while the Tar Heels needed four points by Justin Jackson in the final minute to edge Harvard 67-65. “It’s the luckiest I’ve ever felt after a basketball game in my entire life,” North Carolina coach Roy Williams told reporters.

Williams can become the 15th coach in Division I history to win 750 games with a victory over Arkansas, but the Tar Heels will need a complete effort to get past the Razorbacks. Both teams average at least 77 points and bring plenty of star power to the floor, starting with SEC Player of the Year Bobby Portis (17.5 points, 8.8 rebounds), who led Arkansas to its conference championship game. Portis should be tested by a formidable Tar Heels frontline led by Jackson and Brice Johnson, who averages a team-high 7.7 rebounds.

TRENDS:

* Razorbacks are 1-6 ATS in their last seven vs. Atlantic Coast.
* Tar Heels are 0-4 ATS in their last four NCAA Tournament games.
* Under is 5-1 in Razorbacks last six neutral site games.


EAST REGION:

(8) North Carolina State Wolfpack vs. (1) Villanova Wildcats (-9.5, 139)

Villanova may have been considered by some as the most likely No. 1 seed to be bounced from the NCAA Tournament early, but were among the most dominant teams to take the floor in its first game. The Wildcats look to extend their school-record winning streak to 17 games Friday when they meet North Carolina State in the third round at Pittsburgh. Villanova routed No. 16 Lafayette 93-52 on Thursday, rolling to the second-largest margin of victory in its tournament history.

The Wildcats, who have not advanced past the first weekend in four NCAAs since a Final Four berth in 2009, amassed their best offensive output at the Big Dance since a 101-point outburst in a win over LIU Brooklyn in 1997. The eighth-seeded Wolfpack overcame a late 14-point second-half deficit against LSU on Thursday to edge the Tigers 66-65. "It's crazy being on the other end this year; this is a whole lot better,” N.C. State guard Ralston Turner told The News & Observer after the Wolfpack were unable to hold a late 14-point lead before losing in overtime to Saint Louis in the second round of last year’s tournament.

TRENDS:

* Wolfpack are 2-6 ATS in their last eight non-conference games.
* Under is 10-2 in Wolfpack last 12 NCAA Tournament games.
* Wildcats are 6-2 ATS in their last eight neutral site games.
