Sunday’s List of 13: Wrapping up a college hoop Saturday

13) Kansas 77, West Virginia 69— Jayhawks were 26-35 on foul line, West Virginia was 1-2, in a game the Mountaineers led by 12 with 10:18 left. To say they got hosed is an understatement.

This is third straight series game Mountaineers had a double-digit lead over Kansas but lost.

12) Michigan State 66, Northwestern 60— Spartans were down 27 in first half, 22 at the half. This was one of those scores, when I saw it, thought it was a girls’ score or a mistake, but then State rallies for an unlikely win.

11) South Carolina 84, Auburn 75— Tigers split their last four games after a 21-2 start. Auburn lost 6-7 McLemore, a solid rebounder, with a severe leg injury.

10) Idaho 79, Montana 77 OT— Vandals made 12-19 on arc as Grizzlies went 0-2 this weekend after starting the week unbeaten in Big Sky play. Big Sky is ranked as the 18th-best conference this year, highest it has been rated since 2010- they were 25th or lower the last six years.

9) Marquette 90, Creighton 86— Marquette lost five of its last seven games; they allowed 85-86 points in the two wins. Not a strong defensive team.

8) Villanova 95, Xavier 79— Wildcats were only 3-5 on foul line, 16-34 on arc- this is not the way to get to a Final Four— you need some kind of inside presence and production. This is obviously a good win, but unless Villanova gets more scoring inside, they’ll have a short March.

7) Upsets of the Day:
Eastern Kentucky (+11.5) 72, Tennessee State 59
Santa Clara (+9) 72, Pacific 68
James Madison (+8) 69, Towson State 66
Marquette (+7.5) 90, Creighton 86
Cal-Davis (+7.5) 71, UCSB 54
VMI (+7) 75, Citadel 71
Texas (+6.5) 77, Oklahoma 66

6) UCLA 86, Oregon 78 OT— Tough weekend in LA for the Ducks, who lost at the buzzer at USC in last game Thursday. Bruins were 16-33 on the arc; they’re a surprising bubble team.

5) There was a triple OT game Thursday and one on Friday; if you wagered against all four teams in their next game Saturday, you would’ve won three of four bets.

4) A kid on Arizona State wore one maroon sneaker, one gold sneaker in the ASU-Arizona game Thursday. A player on Alabama wore one crimson sneaker, one white one in the Tide’s loss at Kentucky Saturday. Not sure if this is a growing trend, but if it is, you know each kid has another pair of sneakers at home, just like the mismatched pair.

3) Texas 77, Oklahoma 66— Sooners lost five in row, 8 of last 10 games, as the Trey Young bandwagon is stuck in reverse. ESPN’s hype machine did this to the Ben Simmons-LSU team couple years ago; they put a target on the kid’s back by talking about him endlessly, then looked on in wonderment when the team suffers.

2) Nebraska Cornhuskers won their last six games, covered 13 of their last 14 league games.

1— Shout out to the fine folks at Albany Park & Ride; when I go to Las Vegas, often leave my car there, and they shuttle me to the nearby airport. When I come back, they have the car waiting for me in their lot and it is all very convenient, especially in winter time. Good place.

Sunday's Best Bets
February 17, 2018

Sunday College Basketball Best Bets

Sunday's college basketball card gives us a handful of high profile matchups as we've got three separate games pitting Top 25 teams against one another with a few of said squads coming off disappointing losses. #12 Clemson is coming off an OT loss at Florida State this week hosts #10 Duke, #9 Ohio State – who got blown out by Penn State – is in Michigan to take on the #21 Wolverines, and #5 Cincinnati – who lost for just the 2nd time all year earlier this week – hosts #18 Wichita State.

You'd better believe that these three contests are going to dominate the action on Sunday, but only one of them (and another contest from the same conference) will attract my money.

Odds per - Bookmaker.eu

Big Ten - Michigan vs. Ohio State (1:00 p.m.)

When we saw Top 10 ranked teams in Purdue, Cincinnati and Ohio State all lose on the road on Thursday night it was the Ohio State loss that stuck out like a sore thumb. Winning on the road against any conference rival is tough this time of year, so you can find ways to excuse Purdue's 4-point loss @ Wisconsin and Cincinnati's 5-point loss at Houston, but Ohio State got taken behind the woodshed at Penn State in their 23-point defeat. The Buckeyes couldn't hit an ocean with their shots in the 1st half as they went to the break down 24, and from there it was simply a matter of playing out the rest of the game to get it over with and move on to the next one.

Now, after a performance like that their is the worry of Ohio State getting caught looking ahead to this Michigan game as reasoning behind their awful performance on Thursday, but given where this number sits and the revenge angle in favor of Michigan, I've got to side with the home team here. Simply put, I don't know how Ohio State could have been looking past Penn State given they lost 82-79 in the first meeting with the Nittany Lions – when Ohio State closed at -9.5 – so that being a reason for their horrible play doesn't hold a lot of weight here.

Michigan on the other hand is a 5-2-1 ATS in home conference games this year with their only outright home loss being a one-point heartbreaker in the final seconds against Purdue. They fell 71-62 at Ohio State back in early December, and there is no way they've forgotten about that defeat as it was a collapse of epic proportions. Michigan was up 43-30 at the half, only to get outscored 41-19 in the final 20 minutes to blow what should have been a substantial win. Now they get their chance at redemption, and for a team that is much improved since then (14-4 SU since), including going on a seven-game win streak right after that collapse, this is a game the Wolverines will find a way to get. They saw how fragile Ohio State's mentality is right now, and with the Wolverines having grown up through numerous wars this year in Big 10 play, even if Ohio State's at their best, it won't be enough.

Best Bet #1: Michigan Wolverines (-3.5)

Odds per - Bookmaker.eu

Big Ten - Purdue vs. Penn State (8:00 p.m. ET)

Since I discussed Penn State's dominant performance earlier, it may be surprising to some that I've got no problem fading them against Purdue in this spot, especially with Purdue having lost three straight games. The Boilermakers are 0-6-1 ATS in their last seven games overall as well, so why am I laying this chalk with Purdue here.

Well for one, it is somewhat of a letdown spot for Penn State after beating the Buckeyes in the fashion that they did, and that type of performance is tough to repeat, let alone do so on the road against a Top 10 caliber opponent. This is the one and only time they'll see Purdue in the regular season and I don't believe they've got the size inside to match up well on either end of the floor, nor the overall talent to keep this game within the number.

Secondly, if I was Penn State, the last thing I'd want to face is a pissed off, frustrated Purdue team that is coming off three disappointing losses, two of which came in the final minute of the game against elite competition (Michigan State, Ohio State). Getting up and going to play a sub-par Wisconsin team on their own floor was always going to be tough after that two game stretch and the Boilermakers definitely got caught. They looked fatigued from the outset, and the 53 points they scored – against a Badgers team that's been bad to awful on defense all year – was the Boilermakers lowest output all year and it came by 10 points.

Now, Purdue is back at home and looking to right all the wrongs they've felt they've experienced over the last 10 days, and they'd love to take out all that anger and frustration on a Penn State team that is simply average away from home. The Nittany Lions have already lost on the road to average Big 10 rivals like Maryland (lost by 6), Northwestern (lost by 9), and Indiana (lost by 4). They did beat Ohio State for their one significant road win, but that was the third game in six days for the Buckeyes too. College players aren't used to that type of grind and while it was a great effort by Penn State and a lackluster one by Ohio State, the situation was tilted a little in favor of the Nittany Lions that day.

Outside of Purdue's three straight losses, the same can't be said here, especially when the Boilermakers are from top to bottom a much better team then all of those I've previously mentioned. Add in the pissed off attitude they'll bring to this game and the fact that this number probably isn't as high as it should be given those three consecutive losses, and I'm all over the home side here.

Best Bet #2: Purdue Boilermakers (-4.5)

Sunday's Tip Sheet
February 17, 2018

This Sunday’s college basketball slate offers up pair of great matchups between nationally ranked teams in the Big Ten and ACC right out of the gate, but sports bettors might want to focus their attention later in the day with a couple of big showdowns including one between two of the top teams in the nation coming out of the AAC.

No. 19 Wichita State Shockers at No. 5 Cincinnati Bearcats (ESPN, 4 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Cincinnati -6

Betting Matchup

The Shockers’ first season in the AAC has them tied with Houston at 10-3 straight-up and two games off the pace set by Cincinnati. Thursday’s 93-86 victory against Temple as 12 ½-point home favorites went OVER the closing 150-point line and it has gone OVER in their last six games. Wichita State falls to 7-6 against the spread in conference play and it is 1-3 ATS in its last four games on the road. The total has gone OVER in three of its last five road games.

Senior forward Darral Willis Jr. scored a game-high 24 points off the bench and senior center Shaquille Morris added 23 points and 13 rebounds in Thursday’s win. The Shockers are four-deep in double-digit scorers led by sophomore guard Landry Shamet with 14.6 points per game. They are ranked 18th in the nation in scoring with an average of 84.2 PPG and at the other end of the court they are allowing an average of 70.2 points to their opponents. Wichita State has exceeded this scoring average in four of its last five games.

Cincinnati’s perfect 12-game SU run in the AAC came to a sudden end with Thursday’s 67-62 loss to Houston as a two-point road favorite. The loss ended the Bearcats’ SU 16-game winning streak while going 12-4 ATS. The total stayed UNDER the closing 133-point line against the Cougars and it has stayed UNDER in five of their last seven games. Cincinnati returns home with a 5-1 record ATS in their last six home games. The total has gone OVER in three of its last five games at home.

The loss to Houston was just the second time in the Bearcats’ last 13 games where they allowed more than 60 points. They boast the second-stingiest defense in the nation with a points-allowed average of 56.3 points. At the other end of the court, four of five Cincinnati starters ended that game in double figures led by junior guard Jacob Evans’ 16 points. He continues to lead the team in scoring with 13.6 PPG as part of a foursome of players averaging at least 11 points a game.

Betting Trends

-- The Shockers have gone 20-6-1 ATS in their last 27 Sunday games and the total has stayed UNDER in nine of their last 13 games on the road.

-- The Bearcats are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following up a SU loss and the total has stayed UNDER or ended as a PUSH in six of their last eight home games.

-- This will be the first meeting between these two programs.

Penn State Nittany Lions at No. 6 Purdue Boilermakers (Big Ten Network, 8 p.m. ET)

Opening Odds: Purdue -4.5

Betting Matchup

Penn State brings some serious momentum into this game following Thursday’s 79-56 rout of Ohio State as a two-point home favorite. The Lions have won their last four games SU with a 3-1 mark ATS as part of their 9-6 record in Big Ten play. The total stayed UNDER 138 points in Thursday’s win and it has stayed UNDER in four of their last six games. Going back to an earlier SU upset against the Buckeyes as 10-point road underdogs on Jan. 25, the Lions have now gone 6-1 both SU and ATS in their last seven games.

Much of this team’s success this season can be attributed to the high level of play by sophomore guard Tony Carr. He posted 30 points in Thursday’s win while going 9-of-15 from the field and 4-of-8 from three-point range. He is the team’s leading scorer with 19.6 PPG and he has connected on 46.3 percent of his shots from beyond the arc. Penn State is averaging 76.2 PPG and it has gotten a big effort at the other end of the court with a points-allowed average of 66.0.

Purdue is a game off the pace in the current Big Ten standings at 12-3 SU as part of an overall record of 23-5. However, Thursday’s 57-53 loss to Wisconsin as a heavy 10 ½-point road favorite was its third defeat in a row. The first two losses came against the teams ahead of the Boilermakers in the standings; Ohio State at home and Michigan State on the road. The No. 6 team in the nation has been a costly bet over its last eight games at 0-6-1 ATS. The total has stayed UNDER in 11 of its last 13 games.

The last three losses have been by a combined nine points with Purdue scoring 65 points or less in all three contests. This pales in comparison to an 81.4-point scoring average on the year. Defensively, the Boilermakers stayed on track during this slide by holding Ohio State to 64 points before the 68-65 loss to Michigan State last Saturday in a game that ended as a PUSH. Sophomore guard Carsen Edwards is averaging a team-high 17.1 PPG and he has met or exceeded this average in three of his last five starts.

Betting Trends

-- The Nittany Lions have covered in four of their last five Sunday games and the total has gone OVER in 13 of their last 19 games on the road.

-- The Boilermakers are 1-4 ATS in their last five games at home and the total has stayed UNDER in five of their last six home games.

--The home team in this Big Ten tilt is 13-6 ATS in the last 19 meetings and the total has stayed UNDER in 10 of the last 12 games played in Purdue.

Dinero Tracker - Feb. 17
February 17, 2018

Read the Dinero Tracker's mission statement here
Last night's ATS Records
NBA: 0-0 | NCAA BB: 9-9

Friday night started much better than it ended, since I lost big showdowns in both the Sun Belt and Horizon League. My college lock came in, as did my hunch on Twitter that the World Team would take down Team USA in NBA Rising Stars. I think it's impossible to pick a winner in the 3-point and skills challenge, but do like Dennis Smith, Jr. to beat Donovan Mitchell in the slam dunk contest. Here's Friday's recap, complete with some of the highlights (and lowlights):

SATURDAY'S FREE SELECTION

The pick: TCU -7
This is one of Saturday night's most intriguing matchups. Both TCU and Oklahoma State enter this matchup under .500 in Big 12 play but they're perceived differently as far as the bracket goes. A home loss here could cast the Horned Frogs on a slippery slope, which is why I think we'll see desperation play a big role in completing a sweep of the Cowboys. Five TCU players scored in double-figures as the team shared the ball and burden beautifully in a 79-66 win in Stillwater. Consider that the Cowboys shot 8-for-14 from 3-point range and were still easily cast aside. Lay the points and ride TCU.

FRIDAY'S FREE SELECTION

The pick: Penn ML -145
The Quakers look to keep pace with Harvard atop the Ivy League by winning on the road this weekend. Although the Ivy League now has a four-team tournament in place to decide who reaches the NCAA Tournament instead of rewarding their regular-season champ, the Crimson will have to come through the Palestra next Saturday, so you know that this weekend's games will be about rebounding from their first league loss in Cambridge and taking care of business as a favorite so that they're still even with Harvard come next week. On paper, this visit to NYC will be their toughest test, so it's a good thing that it's up first. Ride Penn on the money line to win at Columbia as opposed to laying the extra possession on the road.

Result: The freebie came through comfortably thanks to a fantastic finish from the Quakers, who trailed Columbia for most of the night until putting together an 18-0 run, holding the Lions without a field goal for over five minutes down the stretch.

FRIDAY'S LOCK

The pick: Princeton/Cornell OVER 144.5
The Big Red have a pair of terrific scorers in guard Matt Morgan and sweet-shooting big man Stone Gettings. They don't play a lick of defense, so facing a Tigers squad that has dropped four straight games by also being unable to get stops should create a game where both teams chase points wherever they can get them and we'll get a game extension by whoever is down to aid the cause. Ride the over, guaranteed.

Result: Chicken dinners were provided for all who got in on last night's college lock, although there were a few nervous moments early since the Big Red couldn't score at all. Any fears that the Tigers would be able to lock Cornell down all game were alleviated before halftime, leading to a fantastic second half where we reached our goal in regulation and these teams played deep into the night. Cornell prevailed in a 107-101 triple-OT thriller that marked the first time in the 118-year history of the series where both teams scored more than 100 points each.

TOTAL RECALL

The pick: Oakland/Cleveland State OVER 151
It's been a really rough week for the Golden Grizzlies, who have lost key senior wing Martez Walker, one of the Horizon League's top talents. They then saw their rough time compounded by a loss to Youngstown at the buzzer, so today's game will test the resilience of Greg Kampe's team. There is a chance they'll score more efficiently without Walker since Jalen Hayes and Kendrick Nunn will get more touches, so against a beatable team like Cleveland State, this appears to be a strong bounce-back spot since the Vikings are vulnerable defensively. Ride Oakland -5 and the over for the in-game parlay.

Result: Oakland put together a fantastic second half to cover our side play, but a 20-2 run over the Vikings down the stretch meant that this wasn't close enough to get the game extended with some late-game fouling. Cleveland State still got off a 3-pointer that would've delievered a push, but came up short in an 82-66 loss.

CARDIAC ATTACK

The pick: St. Bonaventure +3
There definitely seems to be a curse for most teams that have entered this week unbeaten in conference play. Montana, New Mexico State and Florida Gulf Coast joined Cincinnati in losing in their respective leagues for the first time. Rhode Island comes in perfect and will now likely have EC Matthews for this one, but there's no way he's 100 percent. Ride St. Bonaventure plus the points.

Result: This was a terrific game, living up to billing in every way. Matthews played and showed he's still got plenty of juice on an athletic, twisting jumper late in the game. His shot missed, which allowed the Bonnies to escape with a thrilling 77-74 win. St. Bonaventure is for real, winning in spite of an off night from star guard Jaylen Adams. I hope they finish strong enough to command an NCAA Tournament bid.

SWING AND A MISS

The pick: Georgia State ML -135, GSU/Georgia Southern UNDER 14
The Panthers lost to Louisiana-Monroe in Atlanta on Saturday and have only fallen in consecutive games twice this season. They owned the first meeting in Statesboro and seem to match up well with the rival Eagles due to their ability to make their guards work for every inch. Ride Georgia State on the money line and back the under for the in-game parlay.

Result: The Eagles played a fantastic game, taking advantage of Panthers guard D'Marcus Simonds being saddled with foul trouble early and throughout the evening. The teams shot a combined 76 free throws, so my under never had a shot.

PROOF OF CLAIRVOYANCE

The pick: Yale ML -145
The Big Green come off an enormous win over Princeton to snap a 10-game losing streak and end a winless run in Ivy League play. That upset certainly ensures James Jones' Bulldogs won't come into this one expecting a win to be a given, especially since they need this game badly considering their at .500 in the Ancient Eight and will need to put in work to secure a spot in the conference tourney. Ride Yale on the money line.

Result: The Bulldogs took control of this one in the middle of the first half and got up by as much as 75-50, putting this one in the win column well before it was over.

Top 25 Betting Recap
February 18, 2018

Each week until March Madness we'll take a look at how the Top 25 fared from college basketball, but straight up and against the number, while also taking a look at their upcoming schedule.

Texas Tech (22-5 SU, 13-10 ATS) looked like they had the ship righted after a two-game losing streak Jan. 17-20, ripping off seven wins in a row. They also had four covers in a row before their 59-57 loss at Baylor (17-10 SU, 13-7 ATS), a team that has been a giant killer lately. The Bears avenged a 77-53 loss at Lubbock back on Dec. 29 when the Red Raiders coasted to the victory and cover as 7 1/2-point favorites. The Bears played great defense in their win, and the 'under' is 5-2 in their past seven victories. When the 'over' hits, the Bears are just 2-4 SU and 3-3 ATS.

Gonzaga (25-4 SU, 11-14-1 ATS) was able to power through a win against Pepperdine (4-24 SU, 9-18 ATS), a team which has struggled to cover the spread this season. The Waves have won just four times straight-up, and they were 25-point underdogs in this one. However, they kept the Zags within arm's length for a good chunk of the game before Gonzaga pulled away in the end. It was a stark contrast to the first meeting in Malibu back on Jan. 4 when the Bulldogs powered past the Waves 89-59 to cover a 24-point number. The Bulldogs are just 2-9 ATS over their past 11 outings. The 'under' has now cashed in six in a row for Gonzaga, as there were just 148 total points on Saturday, three fewer than the 151 total.

Oklahoma (16-10 SU, 8-17 ATS) continues its freefall, and they'll tumble out of the Top 25 this week. The Sooners are in an inexplicable five-game losing streak, with their last victory coming Jan. 30 against Baylor. Since flipping the calendar to February OU is 0-5 SU/ATS, and they haven't covered in seven tries dating back to Jan. 23, their only cover in the past 11 outings. It won't get any easier for the Sooners, as Kansas (21-6 SU, 13-12-1 ATS) looms on the upcoming schedule. The Jayhawks will be looking for revenge, too, as losing 85-80 in Norman. One thing bettors have been seeing with OU is the 'under', cashing seven times in the past 10 outings.

Saturday was a day of upsets in the Southeastern Conference, as Auburn (23-4 SU, 18-7 ATS) suffered an ugly loss at South Carolina (14-13 SU, 11-14-1 ATS) by a 84-75 score. It was the first setback for the Tigers since a 76-71 loss on the court of their rivals Alabama (17-10 SU, 14-11-1 ATS) on Jan. 17. Those two will meet on Wednesday on the plains. The Crimson Tide have shown some upside this season, as they have a nice collection of freshmen and younger players. However, Alabama hasn't been able to put it together consistently on the road. Bama lost at Kentucky (18-9 SU, 11-16 ATS) by an 81-71 count. The Tide has posted a 2-6 SU/4-4 ATS over their past eight true road outings.

Texas A&M (17-10 SU, 11-13 ATS) returned to the Top 25 this past week, and just as quickly as they're back they'll be gone. The Aggies aggravated their fans with an 0-2 SU/ATS week, including a demoralizing 94-75 rout at the hands of a very average Arkansas (19-8 SU, 14-13 ATS) team on Saturday. Actually, the Razorbacks have been a little bit above average lately, and they could be the next SEC team to make their way into the Top 25. The Hogs are on a four-game winning streak after their rout of A&M, and they have also covered each of the outings. Three of the games were at home, however. They have been dismal on the road, posting a 2-6 SU/ATS mark across eight true road contests this season. They're home to Kentucky on Tuesday before heading to Alabama on Saturday.

Also in the SEC, Tennessee (19-7 SU, 14-10 ATS) was denied its 20th victory on Saturday evening, as Georgia (15-11 SU, 12-11 ATS) came alive with a two-win week. The Volunteers have dropped two straight away from Knoxville, and they're now a dismal 0-3 ATS over their past three outings overall after a four-game cover streak from Jan 27-Feb. 6. It won't get any easier, as they have a home date with Florida (17-10 SU, 12-13-1 ATS), a team which has been in and out of the Top 25 this season. The good news is that they catch the Gators at home. Tennessee is 6-0 SU/4-2 ATS across their past six home outings dating back to a loss Jan. 2 against Auburn.

Monday's Tip Sheet
February 18, 2018

Monday’s Presidents Day doubleheader of college basketball action on ESPN starts at 7 p.m. with a pair of teams in the ACC looking for a quality victory to add to the win column. Later in the Big 12, one of the top teams in that conference will try and avenge an earlier loss.

Miami Hurricanes at Notre Dame Fighting Irish (ESPN, 7 p.m. ET)

Betting Odds: Notre Dame -4

Betting Matchup

Miami’s three-game straight-up losing streak has dropped it to an even 7-7 in the ACC and 18-8 overall. The Hurricanes closed as 4 ½-point home favorites in Saturday’s 62-55 loss to Syracuse to fall to a very costly 2-9 against the spread over their last 11 games. The total stayed UNDER 129 points in that loss and it has stayed UNDER in each of the last three games. Miami is 3-4 ATS in seven conference road games this season.

Scoring has suddenly become an issue for a Miami team that has averaged 73.8 points a game. It was held to 50 points against Virginia’s shutdown defense last Tuesday before putting up just 55 points against the Orange. The Hurricanes have failed to cross the 70-point mark in four of their last six contests. Freshman guard Chris Lykes scored a team-high 14 points on Saturday and sophomore forward Dewan Huell ended the game with seven points. Miami shot just 33.9 percent from the field; going 7-for-31 from three-point range.

With Saturday’s 84-67 road victory against Boston College as 1 ½-point underdogs, the Fighting Irish have won three of their last four games both SU and ATS. The lone loss was to North Carolina on the road after beating both BC and Florida State at home as favorites in this four-game span. The total went OVER 144 points in Saturday’s win and it has gone OVER in five of their last seven outings. Notre Dame is 6-8 both SU and ATS in conference play.

Senior guard Matt Farrell has filled some pretty big shoes replacing an injured Bonzie Colson as the team’s top scorer with an average of 17.1 points. He really stepped up his game on Saturday by posting a career-high 37 points while connecting on 10 of his 12 shots from three-point range. He has now surpassed his scoring average in three of his last four starts. Notre Dame is averaging 76.4 PPG on the year and it has now scored at least 84 points in three of its last four games.

Betting Trends

-- The Hurricanes are 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games following a SU loss and the total has gone OVER in four of their last five road games.

-- The Fighting Irish have failed to cover in their last four Monday games and the total has gone OVER in their last four games played at home.

-- Notre Dame has the slight 3-2 SU edge in the last five meetings, but Miami has covered ATS in four of the last six games between the two. The total has stayed UNDER in three of the last four meetings.

No. 23 Oklahoma Sooners at No. 13 Kansas Jayhawks (ESPN, 9 p.m. ET)

Betting Odds: Kansas -8.5

Betting Matchup

Oklahoma’s extended losing streak reach five games with Saturday’s 77-66 loss to Texas as a 6 ½-point home favorite. It has now failed to cover in its last seven games and the total has stayed UNDER in seven of the last 10 games it has played. The Sooners are in freefall in the Big 12 at 6-8 SU with a 4-8 record ATS. They have failed to cover in seven of nine games this season on the road and the total has gone OVER in their last two road games.

Going back over Oklahoma’s last five losses, it has failed to score more than 80 points in any of those games. The Sooners are still one of the highest scoring teams in the nation with an average of 87.5 PPG, but they have hardly looked the part. Freshman guard Trae Young still leads the country in scoring with an average of 29.0 points, but he failed to reach that mark in four of his last five starts. He ended Saturday’s game against Texas with 26 points while going just 7-for-21 from the field.

Kansas is 5-2 SU since its 85-80 loss to Oklahoma on Jan. 23 as a two-point road underdog. It is coming off Saturday’s 77-69 victory against West Virginia as a three-point favorite at home. This was just the fourth time in the Jayhawks’ last 12 games they covered ATS and the total has now stayed UNDER or ended as a PUSH in nine of their last 11 games, including the 171 ½-point line against the Sooners. Kansas is tied with Texas Tech for the lead in the Big 12 standings at 10-4 SU.

Sophomore center Udoka Azubuike scored 21 points and senior guard Devonte’ Graham added 15 more in Saturday’s win against the Mountaineers. Azubuike is averaging 14.1 PPG while leading Kansas in rebounds (7.0) and Graham has been the team’s leading scorer this season with an average of 17.4 points. The Jayhawks are five deep in players averaging at least 12 PPG as part of 81.6-point scoring average this season. However, Saturday was the sixth time in their last seven games they failed to score at least 80 points.

Betting Trends

-- The Sooners have failed to cover in five of their last seven Monday games and the total has stayed UNDER in five of those seven contests.

-- The Jayhawks are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games played on a Monday and the total has stayed UNDER or ended as a PUSH in eight of their last nine Monday games.

-- Head-to-head in this Big 12 tilt, the underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and the total has stayed UNDER in the last four games between the two.
