Future Forecast
January 29, 2016

College Basketball is starting to get more attention as football ends, especially as we edge closer to March Madness. We're still more than two months from crowning a champion in college basketball, but it's obvious to everyone who pays close attention that this is the year of parity.

Who will win the 2016 College Basketball Championship?

Quite honestly, it's very hard to say.

Does that mean there is no value to be found? Absolutely not.

Remember, when you’re looking for value in futures, you don't necessarily need the team you pick to cut down the nets in the end. If you take a team with long odds, you can still make a good profit by hedging out of your bet. This season, I believe some of the best values will be on teams that aren't likely to win it all, but have a real shot at a Final Four run.

Listed below are my top five college basketball futures value plays.

1) Wichita State (45/1)

This is my favorite play on the board. Wichita State was in my Top 10 before the season started. The Shockers had some serious injury issues earlier this year, which led to them losing several games they otherwise wouldn't have lost. The team is healthy again now, and they have been absolutely thumping everyone in their way in the Missouri Valley Conference.

In the NCAA Tournament, having good guards is an absolutely necessity for making a deep run. Wichita State is led by Fred Van Vleet and Ron Baker. You could make an argument that this is the best guard combination in the country.

Obviously, Wichita State won't get the high seed you would hope to have in the NCAA Tournament, but this team is capable of beating anyone in the country. I believe it's very likely that we'll see at least a couple teams that are rated low by the committee advance deep into this year's tournament. At 45/1 odds (Bet $100 to win $4,500), there is significant value on the Shockers.

2) Oklahoma (8/1)

I'm not going far out on a limb here, but Oklahoma deserves to be on the favorites going into the NCAA Tournament. I like to look for teams that have proven over the course of the year that they can win away from home. Oklahoma blasted Villanova on a neutral floor, and they have played very well on the road. The close overtime loss at Kansas showed the heart of this team plus they also picked up a nice win at Baylor.

Buddy Hield has been the most consistent star in the country this year. He plays his heart out every game, and he is shooting 52.3 percent from downtown. Hield's numbers are truly absurd, and at this point he is the clear favorite to win the Naismith Player of the Year award. Late in the tournament, when there are a bunch of close games, it's always very beneficial to have a clear star to turn to in the clutch.

3) Xavier (20/1)

The Xavier Musketeers have a long history of success in the NCAA Tournament. They have surprised people and made it a lot further than expected many times, and I believe they could do the same again this season. Xavier has played a difficult schedule, and they have certainly impressed. The Musketeers road win at Michigan told me a lot about this team earlier in the season.

Additionally, you can learn a lot about a team by seeing how they respond to adversity. Xavier has lost two games this year. They lost to Villanova and followed that up with a nice win over a good Butler team. Recently, they were upset by Georgetown, but they bounced back by winning on the road against a good Providence team.

Xavier has shown the ability to win both high-scoring games and defensive battles. The Musketeers will be dangerous in March.

4) North Carolina (7/1)

North Carolina probably has the highest upside of any team in the country. The Tar Heels haven't totally put it together this year, and they are still 18-2. Guard Marcus Paige missed time early in the year, and that put the team a little bit behind. Paige's shooting numbers are subpar so far this year, but he has proven to be a clutch player in the past.

Brice Johnson has turned into a superstar, and that has made this North Carolina frontcourt one of the best in the country. The Tar Heels dominate on the glass, and they have plenty of shot blockers to deter opponents from coming into the paint as well.

North Carolina has a nice mix of experience and youth, and the Tar Heels are primed for a big run in the NCAA Tournament.

5) Iowa (16/1)

What has Iowa done wrong?

All Iowa has done so far this year is take care of business, and yet the oddsmakers seem to be slow to give this team any respect. Iowa has played one of the ten toughest schedules in the country, and they still have a 16-4 record. They have won at Purdue and at Michigan State, and those are two very tough places to win. Plus, they barely came up short at Maryland this past week.

The Hawkeyes have two stars in Jarrod Uthoff and Peter Jok. The six-foot-nine Uthoff is shooting 48.3 percent from long range, and he has a tremendous array of moves that keep defenders guessing at all times. Adam Woodbury gives the team a good center and he’s shown that he can slow down opposing big men.

Iowa virtually never turns the ball over, and late in the season that is something that becomes even more important. This Hawkeyes team is being underrated by most and head coach Fran McCaffery will have them read in March.

Preview: Wildcats (17-3) at Red Storm (7-14)
Date: January 31, 2016 12:00 PM EDT

Villanova has had a full week to deal with losing a Big East game for the first time in over a year. For St. John's, the wait between wins is beginning to feel like an eternity.

The sixth-ranked Wildcats look to start a new streak and extend the Red Storm's longest skid in school history when the longtime conference rivals meet Sunday afternoon at Madison Square Garden.

Villanova (17-3, 7-1) survived close calls at Georgetown and Seton Hall to lengthen its unbeaten run over league opponents to 22 games, but Providence's combo of Ben Bentil and Kris Dunn proved too much in last Sunday's 82-76 overtime loss to the then-No. 16 Friars in Philadelphia. Bentil scored 10 of his 31 points in OT and Dunn added 13 points and 14 assists to help hand the Wildcats their first conference defeat since at Georgetown on Jan. 19, 2015.

"We've won a few games on the road where we didn't play our best and found a way to win. (Sunday) we didn't play our best but a lot of it was because they did," Wildcats coach Jay Wright said. "Two outstanding players made big plays but they also made the players around them better."

The Friars went 46.2 percent from the field to drop Villanova, the Big East's leader in scoring defense and field goal percentage defense, to 0-3 when opponents shoot 46 percent or better. The Wildcats have been outrebounded in all three losses as well.

Accomplishing both goals seems like a monumental challenge for rebuilding St. John's (7-14, 0-8), still in search of its first Big East win under legendary former player Chris Mullin. In Big East play, the Red Storm rank last in shooting at 36.6 percent and last in rebounding margin (-6.3) while permitting 80.8 points per game.

Mullin inherited a program that lost its top six scorers from a 21-win NCAA Tournament 2014-15 season, and those defections have been felt most during a school-record 11-game losing streak.

"In reality it makes perfect sense what's going on," he said. "It doesn't make it easier or harder, but this is what resetting and rebuilding is."

Three of the Red Storm's last four losses have come by 19 or more points, including Wednesday's 79-60 defeat at Seton Hall in which they shot 29.2 percent - their worst showing since January 2012.

A return to Madison Square Garden could provide a boost. St. John's is 2-1 at the venue this season and recorded its last win there with an 84-72 upset of Syracuse on Dec. 13.

Home court, however, hasn't been an advantage in recent games with Villanova, which earned its seventh straight road win in the series with a 90-72 victory last January. The Wildcats also routed the Red Storm 105-68 in Philadelphia on March 7 for its seventh consecutive win and 13th in the past 14 matchups.

St. John's couldn't stop Daniel Ochefu last season, with the senior center totaling 34 points on 14-of-16 shooting and 22 rebounds.

"They've got the combination of really good guard play and rebounding with a big man," Mullin said. "It's a big challenge."

However, Ochefu is averaging just 5.8 points in five games since posting season highs of 20 points and 18 rebounds against Seton Hall on Jan. 6.

Preview: Terrapins (18-3) at Buckeyes (14-8)
Date: January 31, 2016 1:00 PM EDT

Robert Carter and Rasheed Sulaimon have enjoyed plenty of success in their brief time at Maryland, but never more than they experienced two weeks ago against Ohio State.

The pair of transfers hope for a similar result from the eighth-ranked Terrapins' largest blowout victory of the Big Ten season when they travel to Columbus for a rematch against the Buckeyes on Sunday.

Carter and Sulaimon are playing their first seasons for Maryland since transferring from Georgia Tech and Duke, respectively, and they are part of a balanced attack that has the Terrapins (18-3, 7-2) in the thick of the conference race.

Maryland is the only Big Ten team with five players averaging double-digit points - Carter (13.4) and Sulaimon (10.6) along with Melo Trimble (14.3), Diamond Stone (13.0) and Jake Layman (10.7).

Carter and Sulaimon had 17 apiece in Thursday's 74-68 victory over No. 3 Iowa, providing Maryland relief after losses in two of its previous four games.

Still, it was a distant second to the duo's most combined points as they totaled 47 in a 100-65 win over Ohio State on Jan. 16. Carter made 10 of 13 shots for a career-high 25 points and Sulaimon finished 9 of 10 for a season-high 22. It was the Terrapins' first 100-point game since December 2012 and first against a conference opponent since their 2001-02 national championship season.

However, Maryland needed overtime to beat Northwestern 62-56 three days later and dropped its second straight road game with a 74-65 loss at then-No. 11 Michigan State last weekend - with Carter and Sulaimon combining for just 33 points between the two games.

Hence the sigh of relief after Thursday's win over the Hawkeyes - albeit following an ugly performance after the Terrapins shot 9 for 27 and 0 for 10 from 3-point range in the second half.

'It wasn't always pretty, but we played hard and we competed,' coach Mark Turgeon said. 'Everybody that cares about Maryland basketball was in a panic, but we weren't. We didn't overreact. You could tell our guys were really ready to compete.'

Ohio State (14-8, 6-3) allows only 65.8 points per game, but the 100 it surrendered to Maryland earlier this month was its most in regulation since a 107-75 loss to Purdue on Feb. 7, 1998.

They followed with a 75-64 loss at then-No. 22 Purdue on Jan. 21, but have righted the ship since, holding Penn State and Illinois to 109 combined points in consecutive victories.

Ohio State shot just 39.1 percent in Thursday's 68-63 overtime win in Champaign, but held the Illini to 32.1.

"I feel like we grew up a lot (Thursday night)," said Trevor Thompson, who led the Buckeyes with 16 points off the bench. "Our past road games haven't gone as well, and in certain situations we would have folded. But in this situation we came together, and we just executed the game plan."

Now the Buckeyes return to Value City Arena, where they have won nine straight and all four of their conference matchups.

Sulaimon has averaged 19.5 points in two games against Ohio State, the first in 2012 as a freshman with Duke. Maryland is 10-1 this season when he scores in double figures.

**StarDust Bum** · 01-31-2016, 02:53 AM

Preview: Demon Deacons (10-10) at Fighting Irish (14-6)
Date: January 31, 2016 1:00 PM EDT

Notre Dame's previous stint as a ranked team lasted four weeks, but this one could prove even shorter - especially if leading scorer Demetrius Jackson remains out.

Jackson will likely sit again as the No. 25 Fighting Irish look to avoid back-to-back defeats Sunday against scuffling Wake Forest.

Notre Dame was ranked in the first three polls this season but dropped out after losing two of three to finish November. The Irish (14-6, 5-3 ACC) crept back in following a season-high four consecutive victories, most notably a 95-91 win at then-No. 9 Duke on Jan. 16.

That streak ended with an 81-66 loss at Syracuse on Thursday that Jackson missed because of an ailing right hamstring.

"In this league, you have to forget about a win at Duke. You have to forget a loss at the Carrier Dome," coach Mike Brey said. "You get thumped, you get your butt kicked, it only counts as one league loss. If we could get through the first half of the season at 6-3 ... I'd be absolutely thrilled."

V.J. Beachem scored a career-high 22 points while going 5 of 8 from beyond the arc, but Steve Vasturia (16 points) was the only other Notre Dame player in double figures. Vasturia moved over to point guard because of Jackson's injury, and the Irish committed nine of their 11 turnovers in the first 15 minutes.

"We were a little rudderless at times without Demetrius, no question, and we may have to keep playing without him for a while," Brey said.

Notre Dame is 10-1 at home and could survive without Jackson against the Demon Deacons (10-10, 1-7), losers of five in a row, but things get much tougher after Sunday's game. The Irish will face three top-20 teams in their next four along with a Clemson squad that's 6-2 in the ACC.

The Irish lost both meetings with Wake Forest in 2013-14 but won 88-75 on Feb. 17, the Deacons' first trip to South Bend, while making 27 of 28 free throws.

Wake Forest heads into Notre Dame this time 0-4 in ACC road games with three of those against ranked opponents. The Deacons are playing their fourth consecutive Top 25 team after a nearly unfathomable loss to No. 11 Virginia on Tuesday.

The Cavaliers escaped with a 72-71 win when Darius Thompson banked in a 3-pointer at the buzzer. Wake Forest blew a 10-point lead in the final 77 seconds.

"This is a very disappointing and tough 'L' to take. They're all tough," coach Danny Manning said. "To be in a situation where we have a lead for 35 minutes of a game and not come away with a win, it's just tough."

Freshman guard Bryant Crawford scored a career-high 22 points and leading scorer Devin Thomas (16.4 ppg) had 19. Thomas had 26 points - the second-most in his career - and 11 rebounds in last season's loss to Notre Dame.

Wake Forest has lost 12 straight road games against ranked ACC opponents since beating No. 24 North Carolina in January 2010.

Preview: Wildcats (15-7) at Hawkeyes (16-4)
Date: January 31, 2016 3:00 PM EDT

The positive aspect from Iowa's first conference loss is that any pressure it felt to live up to its lofty ranking and continue the school's best start in Big Ten play in 46 years fades a bit.

That's just the way coach Fran McCaffery likes it.

The third-ranked Hawkeyes look to extend their home winning streak to 14 Sunday by dealing Northwestern a fifth consecutive defeat.

Iowa (16-4, 7-1) responded to a heartbreaking 83-82 loss at then-No. 4 Iowa State on Dec. 10 by winning its next nine, including a pair of victories over Purdue and Michigan State, the latter of which held the top ranking in their Dec. 29 meeting.

The Hawkeyes won their first seven Big Ten games for the first time since going 14-0 in 1969-70, and Jarrod Uthoff emerged in a national player of the year candidate. But Uthoff, who is tied for the conference scoring lead (18.4 points per game) and leads in blocks per game (2.85), went 2 of 13 from the floor and finished with a season-low nine points in Thursday's 74-68 loss at eighth-ranked Maryland.

Iowa was 5 of 24 from 3-point range in its first game as the nation's No. 3 team since 1987 after shooting 45.2 percent from beyond the arc over its previous four.

"I don't panic either way and neither do (the players)," McCaffery said. "We take a business-like approach. That's how we were Thursday night after the game and before the game.

"That's how we'll be before and after the Northwestern game. If you get too emotional, it makes for a long season."

The Hawkeyes had won 13 straight conference games since Northwestern beat them 66-61 in overtime Feb. 15. Iowa avenged that loss with a 69-52 home victory in the regular-season finale and has won six of the last eight matchups.

The Wildcats (15-7, 3-6) are capping their first stretch of four straight against ranked opponents since 1989-90. They began that run by pushing Maryland to overtime Jan. 19 before falling 62-56, but followed that with an 89-57 loss at then-No. 25 Indiana on Jan. 19 and Thursday's 76-45 home loss to 12th-ranked Michigan State.

Northwestern shot 20.7 percent from the field, its worst mark since hitting 17.9 percent against the Spartans on Jan. 27, 2000. Tre Demps missed all seven of his 3-point attempts and finished with four points, and leading scorer Bryant McIntosh went 4 of 15 from the floor.

McIntosh leads the Big Ten with 6.8 assists per game, but he had only two as the Wildcats finished with more free throws made (17) than field goals (12).

'I can sit up here for an hour and we can talk about a lot of things, but if you can't put the ball in the basket you're not going to win against really good teams,' coach Chris Collins said. "You're going to have some bumps in the road and some tough nights, especially when you play in the Big Ten."

Uthoff is averaging 19.3 points and shooting 52.4 percent from 3-point range over his last three against the Wildcats, but McCaffery isn't taking Northwestern lightly.

"Northwestern is a team you have to defend," McCaffery said. "It all starts with McIntosh, and they run good stuff. They'll rotate guys and (Collins) has some pieces and can get you with bodies. He has more size and length than he has ever had."

Preview: Shockers (15-5) at Aces (18-4)
Date: January 31, 2016 4:00 PM EDT

Wichita State has easily handled all of its Missouri Valley Conference rivals this season except for Evansville.

The No. 22 Shockers will seek a more decisive result while attempting to spoil the Purple Aces' perfect home record Sunday and push coach Gregg Marshall into a tie for the school wins record.

Wichita State (15-5, 9-0) has won its conference games by an average of 21.1 points following an 80-54 rout of Loyola of Chicago on Wednesday.

The only conference game they didn't win by at least 16 points was a 67-64 home victory over Evansville on Jan. 6. The Aces never trailed by more than nine and rallied to tie the game with 3:32 to play but couldn't get a lead in the second half. Missouri Valley leading scorer D.J. Balentine turned it over in the waning seconds before getting off a potential game-tying shot.

"I think we both showed why we were (voted) No. 1 and 2 in the preseason (MVC poll)," Shockers senior Fred VanVleet said.

VanVleet and Anton Grady both made key layups in the final three minutes after Evansville had pulled within one. Grady scored 17 points on 8-of-13 shooting and had a team-best seven rebounds. VanVleet was the only starter in double figures with 16 points and had a season-high nine assists.

Ron Baker was held to nine points - well below his team-leading average of 14.7 - while missing seven of 10 shots. Still, he's averaging 17.0 points in Wichita's six-game winning streak in the series.

The Aces (18-4, 7-2) are tied for second place in the MVC with Southern Illinois, two games behind the Shockers. With a matchup against the Salukis at home Wednesday, Wichita State has a prime chance to build some cushion atop the conference.

The Shockers can also push Marshall past Ralph Miller's school record of 220 victories by winning the next two games.

"That would be wonderful. It would be an honor because I know how well thought of (Miller) is," Marshall said. "He's the only non-player that's hanging in the rafters at (Koch Arena)."

Wichita has won its four conference road games by an average of 21.7 points and its past two at Evansville by an average of 18.0. In last season's visit, the Shockers held the Aces to their fewest points in the past eight seasons in a 61-41 victory.

The Aces are 11-0 at home this season and have won 14 straight at the Ford Center. They're among the nation's top shooting teams at 52.1 percent from the field.

They shot 55.4 percent against Southern Illinois on Thursday but needed overtime for an 85-78 victory. Mislav Brzoja scored a career-high 25 points and Balentine matched that output.

Balentine, averaging 21.3 points, had a season-low 14 on 6-of-17 shooting with five turnovers at Wichita. Jaylon Brown scored 18 points, one shy of his career high, to begin his current streak of seven straight games in double figures.

"Fred was told going into the game to help off of (Brown) a little more," Marshall said after the win. "We're going to have to adjust that scouting report."

However, Marshall's team did a solid job defensively on Egidijus Mockevicius, who was held to nine points but grabbed 16 rebounds. The senior center leads the nation with 14.2 boards per game while averaging 16.7 points.

**StarDust Bum** · 01-31-2016, 02:58 AM

Preview: Scarlet Knights (6-15) at Spartans (18-4)
Date: January 31, 2016 5:15 PM EDT

Michigan State wants to get into its halfcourt sets as fast as possible, often inbounding the ball quickly following an opponents' basket or throwing a long outlet pass after grabbing a rebound.

It's also a style that occasionally leads to turnovers, though the 12th-ranked Spartans don't feel as much wrath from their coach if they're converting regularly on other opportunities.

It certainly wouldn't be a surprise if Michigan State puts a big number on the scoreboard Sunday when it hosts a Rutgers team allowing the most points per game in the Big Ten.

The Spartans (18-4, 5-4) are averaging 12 turnovers and ranked eighth or worse in the conference in giveaways per game each season from 2006-14. They're back to eighth after finishing sixth last season and committed 15 turnovers at Northwestern on Thursday.

Michigan State overcame those mistakes, though, by hitting 16 of 26 3s in a 76-45 victory as Denzel Valentine went 5 of 7 from long distance and finished with 19 points, six rebounds and seven assists.

The Spartans rank last in the Big Ten with a minus-2.7 average turnover differential, but it leads the conference with a plus-11.2 field-goal percentage differential. That's part of the reason coach Tom Izzo was able to live with Valentine's season high-tying six turnovers against the Wildcats.

'As I'm learning more and more, and I don't really say I like it, but you make a shot, it takes away all evils,' Izzo said after his team shot 50 percent for the first time in five games. "And we made a lot of shots.'

The Spartans have gotten it done defensively, too, ranking second in the nation in field-goal percentage defense (36.7) and rebound differential (plus-11.9 per game). Freshman Deyonta Davis has been in the starting lineup for the last four and finished with eight points, a season high-tying 11 rebounds and a season-high six blocks against the Wildcats.

He's third in the Big Ten with an average of 2.05 blocks per game, which also ranks sixth in the country among freshmen.

'I'm starting to understand,' Davis said. 'But I give credit to my teammates because they help me along with my coaches.'

The Spartans are fourth in the conference in field-goal percentage (47.8) and points per game (81) while leading the nation by assisting on 71.4 percent of their field goals. That offensive efficiency could present fits for Rutgers, which is allowing a Big Ten-high 77.5 points per game.

The Scarlet Knights (6-15, 0-8) were better Wednesday, falling 68-57 at Michigan after dropping their previous six by an average of 28.5 points and allowing at least 90 in each of the previous four.

Mike Williams scored 17 points and freshman Corey Sanders added 15 for Rutgers, which has dropped 22 straight Big Ten games since beating Wisconsin last January at home. It is winless in 13 conference road games since joining the league last season.

Sanders has been a bright spot, though, averaging a team-high 14.1 points and ranking third in the Big Ten with 1.75 steals per game.

'We can take a lot of positives out of our last couple of games,' coach Eddie Jordan said. 'There has been a lot of growth from our young players. Every game and every film session, we get more and more positive clips.'

Bryn Forbes had 18 points to help Michigan State overcome a 2-for-13 shooting performance from Valentine in last season's 71-51 victory at Rutgers.

The Scarlet Knights have lost 26 straight road games to ranked opponents since winning at No. 13 Pittsburgh on Jan. 26, 2008.

Preview: Ducks (17-4) at Sun Devils (12-9)
Date: January 31, 2016 8:30 PM EDT

Oregon hasn't won a regular-season conference championship in 14 years, but it has emerged as one of the favorites following three consecutive quality victories.

First-year coach Bobby Hurley is trying to rebuild Arizona State into a contender in the Pac-12, and he's seen some improvement lately.

The 23rd-ranked Ducks look to beat the Sun Devils for the seventh time in eight meetings when they square off Sunday night in Tempe.

Oregon (17-4, 6-2) began conference play in mediocre fashion, losing at rival Oregon State, and had a three-game win streak snapped Jan. 17 at Colorado. It bounced back by sweeping a two-game homestand, beating then-No. 21 USC and knocking off UCLA.

The Ducks followed with their biggest statement victory Thursday, ending No. 18 Arizona's 49-game home winning streak with an 83-75 win. The Wildcats shot 61 percent from the field - the best mark for an Oregon opponent in 15 years - but the Ducks forced 19 turnovers and committed a season-low six.

Oregon hasn't won the regular-season conference crown since 2001-02, but Arizona coach Sean Miller believes the Ducks have what it takes to end that drought.

'They are a hard-playing unit, together as a team, and they love each other," Miller said. "You can tell they care a lot about their university and they care a lot about their program. You can kind of feel that they're playing for a cause, and that cause is to win.'

Dillon Brooks scored 24 points, and the sophomore forward is averaging 21.0 over his last five. He's shooting 53.6 percent in that span while going 9 of 21 from 3-point range after previously hitting 13 of 54 (24.1 percent).

'I was shooting it bad in non-conference (games). I worked on it, worked on it, worked on it and it paid off," Brooks said. "It's an amazing feeling."

Elgin Cook added 13 against the Wildcats, and his 23 points helped Oregon win 68-67 in overtime at Arizona State in the last meeting Jan. 30, 2015. The Ducks are hoping this contest isn't nearly as competitive with the Sun Devils (12-9, 2-6) sitting near the bottom of the conference.

Hurley took over a program that has made just one NCAA Tournament appearance in the last six seasons and knows he needs to be patient before Arizona State reaches that level again.

The Sun Devils had dropped six of seven before impressing Hurley with Thursday's 86-68 home win over Oregon State. They shot a season-high 59.3 percent from the field and had five players score in double figures, led by Obinna Oleka's 17 points.

Arizona State held the Beavers to 43.1 percent and was much better defensively after allowing an average of 80.3 points through its first seven conference games.

Leading scorer Tra Holder finished with eight points and took only six shots after averaging 14.4 attempts over his previous seven, but he held Beavers star Gary Payton II to two points.

"It's a good feeling right now to see the team play that way," Hurley said. "It started on defense, how we guarded them in the first half. The numbers reflected that. I thought we had great energy, getting deflections and generating stops."

Holder could be tasked in this contest with guarding Cook, who is averaging 17.5 points in the last four games.

Cook has attempted a team-high 102 free throws and now must deal with the ASU student section's "Curtain of Distraction," which on Thursday featured a shirtless Michael Phelps trying to distract opposing shooters. Oregon is among the Pac-12's worst free-throw shooting teams at 69.2 percent. Oregon State went 9 of 20 on Thursday.

Sunday's Top 25 Trends
January 31, 2016

SUNDAY, JAN. 31

Matchup Records Skinny Projection

Villanova
Overall: 17-3 SU, 9-9-1 ATS
Big East: 7-1 SU, 3-5 ATS
Totals: 8-10 O/U

St. John's
Overall: 7-14 SU, 8-10-1 ATS
Big East: 0-8 SU, 3-5 ATS
Totals: 10-10 O/U

(6) Villanova at St. John's (FOX, 12:00 p.m. ET)

The Wildcats are coming off their first loss of 2016, falling in OT against Providence last Sunday in a game that ranks among the season's most entertaining, snapping a 22-game Big East winning streak. Jay Wright's team is 5-1 in true road games (2-3-1 ATS) and haven't lost to a team with a losing record all season. Teams 'Nova has lost to are a combined 53-10. Chris Mullin's Red Storm haven't won since Dec. 13, carrying an 11-game losing streak into Madison Suare Garden, where the Wildcats won a conference tournament title last time they took the floor. Shot blocking center Yankuba Sima remains out for St. John's.

Villanova 82

Big 10: 6-3 SU, 6-3 ATS
Totals: 9-12 O/U

(8) Maryland at Ohio State (CBS, 1:00 p.m. ET)

The Terps bounced back from last weekend's loss at Michigan State by handing Iowa its first Big Ten loss. They're looking to complete a season sweep of the Buckeyes after a 100-65 dismantling in College Park barely two weeks ago. Versatile PF Robert Carter shot 4-for-4 from 3-point range and scored 25 points, while All-America candidate Melo Trimble dished out nine assists. Ohio State expects to hang around by locking down on the defensive end since it's among the best in the conference in field goal percentage defense and blocked shots. OSU's last two games have gone under. Eight of Maryland's last 10 have finished below the posted total.

Maryland 72
Ohio State 67

Northwestern
Overall: 15-7 SU, 9-9-1 ATS
Big 10: 2-6 SU, 3-5 ATS
Totals: 9-10 O/U

Iowa
Overall: 16-4 SU, 10-7 ATS
Big 10: 7-1 SU, 5-3 ATS
Totals: 10-7 O/U

Northwestern at (3) Iowa (Big Ten, 3:00 p.m. ET)

A 74-68 loss at Maryland snapped Iowa's nine-game winning streak and supplied its first loss of 2016, but it maintains a perfect 10-0 (5-2 ATS) home record, winning all but one by double-digits. Considering both Michigan schools and Purdue are among the victims, it's clear the Hawkeyes get loose at home. Dating back to last year, they've won 13 straight in Iowa City. Northwestern has dropped four consecutive games and has lost its last two outside of Evanston, but is an impressive 5-1-1 ATS in true road games. The Wildcats are 4-26 all-time in Carver-Hawkeye Arena, losing there 69-52 last March. Iowa's Jarrod Uthoff leads the Big Ten in scoring and blocked shots.

Northwestern 67
Iowa 80

Wichita State
Overall: 15-5 SU, 11-7 ATS
MVC: 9-0 SU, 8-1 ATS
Totals: 10-8 O/U

Evansville
Overall: 18-4 SU, 9-7-1 ATS
MVC: 7-2 SU, 6-3 ATS
Totals: 10-8 O/U

(22) Wichita State at Evansville (ESPNU, 4:00 p.m. ET)

These are the top two teams in the Missouri Valley. The Shockers are a spotless 9-0 (8-1 ATS) and failed to cover only the initial meeting against the Aces, a 67-64 home win that represents the only league game they haven't won by at least 16 points. Evansville comes off an 85-78 OT win at Southern Illinois and was tied at Wichita State with less than 4 minutes to go on Jan. 6. UE center Egidijus Mockevicius has recorded 16 double-doubles and leads the nation in rebounding average (14.2). Wichita State lost its first four games away from home, but have since won and covered in five of six. Wichita has seen the over prevail in four of six. The Aces have seen it come in four of the last five.

Wichita State 74
Evansville 70

Rutgers
Overall: 6-15 SU, 8-8 ATS
Big 10: 0-8 SU, 3-5 ATS
Totals: 9-7 O/U

Michigan State
Overall: 18-4 SU, 12-9 ATS
Big 10: 5-4 SU, 4-5 ATS
Totals: 8-13 O/U

Rutgers at (12) Michigan State (Big Ten, 5:15 p.m. ET)

The Spartans come off a 31-point home win at Northwestern and have prevailed in two straight, putting an empahtic end to a three-game skid. Tom Izzo's team faces no mid-week games before next Saturday's date at rival Michigan, so there's no chance they might be looking ahead. If flat, it's because they took a day off against a Rutgers that has lost all eight of its Big Ten games, hanging within single-digits only once. The Scarlet Knights did win and cover in Ann Arbor on Wednesday, losing just 68-57, but they've dropped four league games by at least 25 points, including a 107-57 home loss to Purdue. They're 0-6 on the road (2-4 ATS) and 3-10 overall since F Deshawn Freeman was lost for the season.

Rutgers 54
Michigan State 81

Oregon
Overall: 17-4 SU, 11-7 ATS
Pac-12: 6-2 SU, 5-3 ATS
Totals: 8-10 O/U

Arizona State
Overall: 12-9 SU, 10-9-1 ATS
Pac-12: 2-6 SU, 3-4-1 ATS
Totals: 13-6 O/U

(23) Oregon at Arizona State (ESPNU, 8:30 p.m. ET)

If the Ducks pull off a sweep of the Arizona schools, they'll have sole possession of first place in the Pac-12 entering February. Oregon is still just 2-3 (3-2 ATS) on the road despite ending Arizona's 49-game home winning streak, but has beaten a murderer's row of conference foes since losing its opener at Oregon State on Jan. 3. Top scorer Dillon Brooks has averaged 20.2 points over the last five, shooting 54 percent. The Sun Devils rank last in the Pac-12 in defensive field goal percentage and 3-point defense. Oregon averages 77.7 points per game. The over has prevailed in nine of the last 10 ASU games, including six straight. This is the lone scheduled meeting between the teams this season.

Oregon 75
Arizona State 72

**StarDust Bum** · 01-31-2016, 11:02 AM

Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

Six of the best minor league prospects for the Oakland A's........

1) Franklin Barreto SS-- Acquired in Donaldson trade; may move to 2B someday.

2) Sean Manaea, P-- Went 6-0, 1.90 in hitter-friendly Texas League LY.

4) Renato Nunez 1B/3B-- Has 75 HRs in 440 minor league games.

6) Matt Olson 1B/OF-- Much better defensively at 1B than in RF.

11) Jacob Nottingham, C-- .284 BA in 785 minor league ABs.

17) Joey Wendle, 2B-- Acquired from Indians in Brandon Moss trade.

**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday......

13) Kansas 90, Kentucky 84 OT-- If the games at the Final Four are this good, CBS will be very happy with the TV ratings it gets. Tyler Ulis played the whole game for Kentucky; Wayne Selden played 44:00 for Kansas. Great effort by both teams. .

12) Oklahoma 77, LSU 75-- Ben Simmons is a kid, a freshman in college in a new country who is going to be a great player; for the love of God, could you get the kid one shot in the last 4:46 of a close game? He is your best player.

That said, I can't take TV people criticizing the kid for not being more forceful; he is a freshman- its up to the point guard and the coach to get him shots. LSU is 13-8; this win would've put them on the bubble. Not a lot of marquee games left for them.

11) Big X went 7-3 in their 10-game challenge with the SEC, 4-6 vs spread. Favorites from the Big X went 3-3 vs spread; SEC favorites went 3-1.

10) Providence 73, Georgetown 69-- Friars play better on the road than at home.

9) Houston 97, East Carolina 93 2OT-- Players in this game were cramping up on the court, during the second OT. Eight kids played 40:00+- not many teams have lot of depth, as we watch games cross-country all day long.

8) Milwaukee Brewers traded SS Jose Segura to Arizona in 5-player deal, opening a spot for Orlando arcia, their #1 minor league prospect. .

7) Apparently there is nothing in NFL rules that says Raiders cannot move to Las Vegas; Jerry Jones doesn't want them in San Antonio and they seem reluctant to move to Santa Clara to share Levi's Stadium with the 49ers, so Vegas is an option.

6) With a week until the Super Bowl, a huge majority of $$$ being bet on the Super Bowl has been bet on Carolina so far. Underdog bettors are likely wating to see how high the spread goes; would expect lot of Denver fans to head to Vegas next weekend to bet on their team. Carolina's bandwagon is suddenly getting pretty crowded.

5) Long Beach State 78, Hawai'i 64; UCSB 76, Cal-Irvine 60; Top two teams in Big West both lose for first time in league play.

4) Wizards 123, Rockets 122-- Dwight Howard got ejected for the second game in a row, this time with 8:08 to play. His team could've used him.

3) Virginia 63, Louisville 47-- Cardinals had 14 points at the half. Fourteen. Virginia had been 0-3 on the road in ACC games.

2) Channel 687 on DirecTV is one of the better college basketball channels on the dish; ROOT Sports shows lot of games from the west, smaller leagues. Games from Mountain West, WCC, Summit, even some lesser ACC games.

1) We're six weeks from Selection Sunday; Monday is February 1- the second half of conference play is beginning. An excellent time of the year.
