NC State at West Virginia
The Wolfpack have continued their late-season surge that saw them beat Duke, Virginia and Virginia Tech at the ACC Tournament and then knock off mid-major darling Drexel on the road in the first round of the NIT. The only loss during that span was a respectable 89-80 defeat against higher-rated North Carolina in the ACC Final. West Virginia has opened up the NIT with relatively easy home wins over Delaware State (74-50) and UMass (90-77). But neither of those were playing at the caliber of NC State, which has done much of its work lately away from home. The Wolfpack look like a good underdog pick in this one (+6 1/2) according to Dunkel, which has the game even. Dunkel Pick: NC State (+6 1/2). Here are all of today's games.

Florida State Seminoles vs. Mississippi State Bulldogs
The Florida State Seminoles battle the Mississippi State Bulldogs Tuesday at Humphrey Coliseum in the National Invitational Tournament. Mississippi has opened up as a 5.5 point favorite with the total available at 150 .
Florida State is coming off the big 87-66 win over Michigan while Mississippi State is coming off their blowout win over Bradley on Saturday. State won 101-72 and Bradley never had a chance.
The Seminoles are 22-12 straight up and 14-13-2 against the spread while the Bulldogs are 20-13 straight up but much better at covering the spread evident of their 19-9 spread record.
The under has been money for Florida State cashing 11 of the last 14 times the Noles have played. But Mississippi State has gone over in 5 straight. Both teams come in to the game hot. FSU is 5-1 straight up and against the spread last 6 and Miss is 7-1 straight up over the last 8.

Denver at New Jersey
There are signs in Denver that the A.I.-Carmelo experiment are beginning to work. The Nuggets come into tonight's contest riding a four-game winning streak capped off by an impressive 131-107 whipping of Phoenix on Saturday. Iverson had 44 points and 15 assists, while Anthony "chipped in" with 29 points in by far the duo's best performance of the season. The Nets have won three of four, but the caliber of wins against the Clippers, Hornets and Grizzlies is below where Denver is playing right now. The Nuggets look like a good underdog pick (+1) in this one according to Dunkel, which has Denver favored straight up by 4 1/2. Dunkel Pick: Denver (+1). Here are all of today's games.
