Akron at Kent State
The two best teams in the MAC square off in the regular season finale with no less than the division crown on the line. Both Akron and Kent State come in with identical conference records (12-3) and both have been on a roll lately. The Zips have won back-to-back road games by double digits over Duquesne (87-74) and Buffalo (87-69), while the Golden Flashes have won five straight. When the two teams met back in January, Akron was able to get Kent into early foul trouble and took advantage at the line (23-of-34 compared to 3-of-6 for the Flashes) in a 10-point win for Akron. With the Zips getting balanced scoring from a number of players (four average at least 10 points per game), Akron looks like a good underdog pick (+2 1/2) in this one according to Dunkel, which has Akron favored straight up by 4. Dunkel Pick: Akron (+2 1/2). Here are all of today's games.

Minnesota at Boston
Minnesota just concluded a 1-4 homestand by losing the last two games to Utah (109-83) and Dallas (91-65), marking the first time in team history the T'wolves have dropped back-to-back home games by more than 20 points. Paul Pierce's return to the Boston lineup has sparked the Celtics, who have won three straight including yesterday's come-from-behind overtime win at New Jersey. Pierce shook off a 1-for-13 start to hit some clutch shots down the stretch while Al Jefferson (32 points, 18 rebounds) had a big game. Even with the worst home record in the East (6-21), the Celtics are finding ways to win right now and should cover the Vegas line (-1) according to Dunkel, which has Boston favored by 8.

ULM was 9-0 at home in Sun Belt, 2-7 on road. North Texas just beat ULLafayette twice in a row, which is where tournament is being played this week.

-- New Orleans lost 90-79 at Arkansas State Feb 15 (+3), even though Privateers hit 12-24 treys; game was foulfest, as teams combined for 70 FTs. ASU is 4-1 in last five games, but just 3-5 vs spread in last eight tries as Sun Belt favorite. UNO won its last two games, scoring 81 ppg, after losing previous three.

-- Road team won both Florida Atlantic-Western Kentucky tilts with Hilltoppers winning 93-83 Dec 30 (-12) then losing at home 78-73 Feb 14 (-15), only WKU loss in their last four games.

Missouri Valley final
-- Southern Illinois beat Creighton twice this season, 58-57 in Omaha Jan 20 (+3; Jays outscored SIU 26-14 from line), 72-68 at home Feb 10 (-3; Salukis shot 65% from floor). Creighton held first two foes this weekend to 23.3/34.6% from floor. Salukis are on 13-game win streak- they swept Creighton last year, too.

WCC semifinals

MAAC quarterfinals
-- Siena won eight of last nine games; they lost twice to Marist this season, both OT games, but Saints have never lost to Red Foxes in MAAC tourney. Marist won last eight games (5-0 vs spread last five). Very scary game for top-seeded Marist. Siena is 5-1 vs spread as MAAC underdog this season.
