Six-pack for Saturday

-- St Peter’s had to be licking its chops Thursday, with New Jersey high school powers St Benedict’s and St Anthony’s playing in doubleheader in its gym; too bad they couldn’t have "kidnapped" couple of kids to play for the Peacocks.

-- Do you think George W Bush watches the Presidential debates and cringes everytime someone bashes him?

-- Chicago Bears are accusing 49ers of tampering with LB Lance Briggs during this past season.

-- February 22 was official uniform starting day for college baseball games, a new rule designed to take away some of the edge the good weather teams have.

-- Suns had their 102nd straight sellout Friday, as they beat the Celtics fairly easily, despite going over 12:00 in the first half without scoring a hoop; they're 21-2 against the east.

-- Golden State is in 9th place in west; if they were in east, they'd be the #3 seed, and a genuine threat to make Finals.

Saturday's List of 13: Our college basketball List of 13

13) Indiana—22-4 and headed for good seed in NCAAs, but now Dan Dakich is the head coach; luckily for them, they get to play winless Northwestern in first post-Sampson game. It is not 100% sure if all the Hoosiers will be playing Saturday.

12) UAB—Beat Houston 101-99, got leg up on the #2 slot in C-USA; had they snuck by Memphis, they’d be pretty good bet for Field of 65.

11) Arizona—Wildcats don’t have much depth, so loss of energetic G Wise had really hurt them; they’re now 6-7 in Pac-10, with and are underdog in Pullman over weekend.

10) Wichita State—Lost last three games, all in OT; reward is trip to high-altitude Flagstaff to play erratic Northern Arizona team in Bracket Busters.

9) Portland State—Won last nine games, has three-game lead in Big Sky; also interesting Bracket Buster game in Fullerton Saturday night.

8) Xavier—Atlantic 14 is most improved league this season, and Musketeers lead it by three games.

7) William & Mary—At 10-6 (T4) in CAA, Tribe has shot at getting a bye in conference tourney; when was last time that happened?

6) Baylor—Lost six of last seven since the 5-ot win at Texas A&M; headed to NIT-ville, where they would be threat to do significant damage.

5) Oakland—Saw little bit of game with IUPUI Thursday; by far America’s worst uniforms; they look like bad AAU gear. They’ve been in NCAAs in last five years, they should have good uniforms.

4) South Alabama—Swept Western Kentucky, now have slim lead atop Sun Belt. Can SBC get two teams in this season?

3) MAAC—Four-way tie for first place with two games to play, with Fairfield a game behind in fifth; Siena went 7-19 from line in one-point loss at Manhattan, or else they’d be in first by themselves.

2) Princeton—At 5-18, 2-6 in Ivy, this is the worst-ever era of Tiger basketball. Would school ever hire a coach who didn’t run the Princeton offense?

1) Morgan State—Great comeback by Todd Bozeman, who was Jason Kidd’s college coach at Cal, but then fell out of the business; decade later, he is back leading new pack of Bears, who are tied for first in MEAC.

Butler is 3-0 vs MVC teams; they've won nine in a row, are 11-0 out of conference, 6-5 as home favorite. By far, this is the best Bracket Buster game; both are in RPI top 20.

Butler is 3-6-1 ATS in its last 10 games overall.
The OVER is 7-3 in Drake's last 10 games overall.

#2 Tennessee at #1 Memphis (ESPN | 9 PM ET)
The top-ranked Tigers put their 47-game regular-season home winning streak on the line, currently the longest of any school in the country. Memphis is also the lone unbeaten team in the nation and hopes to prove a team from Conference USA belongs among the very best. "Them. Us. Everybody in the state. It's an ego game," Tigers head coach John Calipari said. "That game has been played up to a level that I can?t even begin to tell you." EDGE: MEMPHIS
Tennessee beat Memphis last year 76-58 as an unranked team and has won 6 of the last 8 meetings, covering the last 3. "They beat us fair and square," Tigers forward Chris Douglas-Roberts said. EDGE: TENNESSEE
The lower-ranked team has won 5 of the last 6 meetings between #1 and #2. This is only the 5th time in 38 all-time games between the top teams in which both schools were from the same state. EDGE: TENNESSEE
Tennessee is 6-2 ATS in its last 8 games overall.
Memphis is 9-4 ATS in its last 13 games against the SEC.

Kent State at #23 St. Mary's (ESPN2 | 11:59 PM ET)
St. Mary's will be trying to match a season-high 7-game winning streak against the MAC's top team. The Gaels are coming off 2 of their most lopsided wins of the season, beating Pepperdine and Loyola Marymount by a combined 67 points. They are tied with Gonzaga atop the West Coast Conference and play 3 more league games after this to close out the regular season. EDGE: ST. MARY'S
Kent State has won 5 straight games and is 11-3 against non-conference opponents this season. However, St. Mary's is even better outside the WCC with a 13-2 mark, including wins over #16 Drake, Oregon and Seton Hall. SLIGHT EDGE: ST. MARY'S
The Gaels are shooting 37.2 percent from beyond the 3-point arc this season, nailing a school-record 17 treys in a 100-64 win at Pepperdine on Monday. They make an average of 8.5 per game, which ranks in the Top 40 nationally. Kent State is allowing opponents to shoot 35.8 percent from 3-point range on the road this season. BIG EDGE: ST. MARY'S
St. Mary is 7-3 ATS in its last 10 games overall.
The OVER is 7-2-1 in Kent State's last 10 games overall.

College Basketball Gameday

The top two teams in the nation square off on Saturday when No. 1 Memphis hosts No. 2 Tennessee. Also on tap for Saturday is a prime mid-major matchup between No. 16 Drake and No. 8 Butler, and St. John’s visits struggling No. 5 Duke.

Tennessee (2) at Memphis (1)

The Volunteers have won eight straight since their upset loss to Kentucky a month ago to climb up to No. 2 in the nation. Tennessee’s latest win was an 89-70 rout of Auburn as an 18-point favorite on Wednesday night. It was all about the Smiths for Tennessee in the win, as Ramar Smith scored a team-high 19 points, Tyler Smith added 13 points and 13 rebounds, and JaJuan Smith chipped in with 12 points. Volunteers' leading scorer Chris Lofton also had 12 points.

The Tigers finally get a chance to prove they deserve the No. 1 ranking against another highly ranked school. Memphis improved to 26-0 on the season on Wednesday after knocking off Tulane 97-71 as a 13-point favorite. Chris Douglas-Roberts led Memphis with 29 points in the win, while Derrick Rose poured in 17 points. Doneal Mack and Robert Dozier each netted 14 points.

The Tigers and Volunteers faced off last season when Tennessee blasted Memphis 76-58 as a 1-point home favorite.

Drake (16) at Butler (8)

Drake is struggling as they head into their mid-major showdown with Butler after dropping two of their last three games. Drake’s latest defeat was a 72-71 upset loss to Bradley as a 6.5-point favorite on Tuesday. The Bulldogs fell apart in the second half and blew what looked like an insurmountable 15-point lead. Josh Young led Drake with 23 points in the loss, while Jonathan Cox delivered 15 points.

The Butler Bulldogs have won their last nine games after getting past UIC 51-46 as a 4.5-point favorite on Wednesday. The game was much closer than the final score would indicate, as Butler only took the lead on an A.J. Graves’ three-pointer in the final minute of the second half. Graves finished the game with a team-high 14 points, as the Bulldogs shot only 38 percent from the floor.

St. John’s at Duke (5)

The Red Storm are on a three-game losing streak after falling to Marquette 73-64 as an 8.5-point underdog on Wednesday night. St. John's had trouble with the Golden Eagles' stifling defense in the first half, but started to close the gap in the second half after going on an 11-4 run. The scoring outburst was far too little too late, though. Anthony Mason Jr. led St. John’s with 20 points in the loss.

The Blue Devils won’t be able to take St. John’s lightly on Saturday after dropping their last two games. Duke was edged by Miami (FL) 96-95 as a 6.5-point favorite on Wednesday. That came after an 86-73 upset loss to Wake Forest only three days earlier. Jon Scheyer scored a game-high 27 points for Duke in the loss against Miami, while DeMarcus Nelson added 19 points and 10 rebounds. Two of Duke's top shooters, Greg Paulus and Kyle Singler, shot a combined 7-for-22 in the loss, with each netting 12 points.

Duke traveled to St. John’s last season and crushed the Red Storm 67-50 as an 8-point favorite.

NCAAB – Cheat Sheet
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's time for the heavyweight teams in the college basketball world to flex their muscles and let their actions speak for themselves. The top two ranked teams in the nation, Memphis and Tennessee, are set to trade punches in a fight to the finish for the top spot in next week’s polls.

Let’s take a look at all the big battles on tap this weekend and what to expect inside this edition of the Cheat Sheet.

No. 1 Memphis Tigers vs No. 2 Tennessee Volunteers

College basketball’s "Game of the Year" tips off at the FedEx Forum Saturday night in Memphis when the Tigers host the Volunteers in the biggest game in the state since the Powerball was introduced by the gaming commission a decade ago.

There are plenty of winning numbers in this contest, starting with Memphis’ 45-game regular season win streak. The Tigers have also knocked out 47 wins in a row on their homecourt, where they are averaging 85 points per game this season (ppg.), outscoring opponents by an average of 23 ppg. in the Forum.

The real strength of the team, though, is its defense. Memphis ranks No. 4 in the nation in defensive field goal percentage (37.6) and No. 4 in rebound margin (+9.4). Interestingly, last year’s 76-58 win by the Volunteers over the Tigers (as a home dog) snapped Tennessee’s eight-game losing skein against Conference USA opposition.

The Vols ride a seven-game against the spread (ATS) win streak as dogs - 3-0 straight up (SU) and ATS this season - into this contest, managing to win six of the seven games in upset fashion. Under head coach Bruce Pearl, Tennessee stands 16-6 ATS when taking points, including 9-1 against .770 or better competition. They are also 6-2 straight-up in head-to-head games against undefeated foes under Pearl.

And like the Tigers, the Vols rank high in several key team stats including No. 1 in assists per game (19.2 apg.), No. 2 in steals per game (10.3 spg.) and No. 5 in defensive three-point field goal percentage (29.2).

That’s the tale of the tape. The bottom line: It would be no surprise to see the favorite in this series fall to 0-8 ATS. Down goes Memphis.

No. 3 North Carolina Tar Heels

The Tar Heels play host to suddenly surging Wake Forest Sunday in a key ACC clash at the Dean Dome in Chapel Hill. Rest assured UNC will take the court knowing they are likely to move into the No. 2 position in next week’s polls, with the loser of the Memphis/Tennessee showdown expected to fall into the No. 3 slot.

A 19-6 ATS log, to go with its 26-2 overall record, makes the Tar Heels a very popular team with the betting public. It’s important to remember, though, that they are only 7-5 against the number in ACC play this season.

The ugly stat of the week is North Carolina’s 1-15 ATS mark (4-12 SU) in this series whenever the Deacon Demons are playing off back-to-back wins. Thanks to a 3-0 SU & ATS streak entering this game, Wake is back ‘on the bubble’ at 16-8 overall this season. It would be no surprise to us to see Roy’s Boys fall to 4-9 ATS in games after facing rival N.C. State against Awakened Forest.

No. 4 Duke Blue Devils

With Coach K’s crew off puzzling back-to-back losses, and lowly St. John’s traveling to Cameron Indoor Stadium, this figures to be the knee-jerk game of the week on the card. Since we’re not jerks we’re not planning on being anywhere near this contest - especially considering Duke’s apathetic 11-18 ATS mark in games when playing off a pair of losses. That includes a 2-10 (6-7 SU) mark when facing an opponent off a loss.

Sure, the Johnnie’s aren't much (10-15 this season), but they are dangerous in games against the ACC, going 14-9 ATS (6-2 when taking doubles). With the Blue Devils having covered the number in only seven of their last 26 games against Big East opposition, and the home team 5-13 ATS in Red Storm games this season, there will be no Dukies on our ticket this weekend.

No. 5 Kansas Jayhawks

At 24-2 this season, the Jayhawks figure to be in the running for a No. 1 seed in this year’s NCAA Tournament. To do so they will need to kick it up a notch or two between now and then.

A strong indicator of how well teams are playing is the pointspread and each team’s record. If they are dominating, they are covering the numbers. If they are struggling they are losing to the line. It's just that simple. And simply put, Kansas is not No. 1 seed material at the present time.

They will take a 0-5-1 ATS spread streak into Saturday’s game at Oklahoma State, a team that has been a thorn in their side lately. The Cowboys have been real pricks when hosting Kansas, going 6-5 SU and 6-3-2 ATS, including 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS when OSU is off an SU and ATS win.

The question is which Kansas team shows up? The one that scored 69 points in its last game, a home win over Colorado, or the one that put 100 points on the scoreboard in its prior home game against Baylor.

What we know for sure is this: In games in which Kansas has managed to score 78 or more points this season they are 12-3-1 ATS. When they don’t reach the 78-point plateau they are 0-7-1 ATS. FYI: Oklahoma State is 11-2 SU at home this season, allowing an average 65 ppg.

No. 6 UCLA Bruins

Now here’s a team certainly deserving of a No. 1 seed in the Big Dance. The Bruins have what you’re looking when filling out a dance ticket. A smothering defense (allowing fewer than 55 ppg. at home this season), a strong rebounding unit (No. 3 in rebound margin +10.0) and a solid coach (85-60-2 ATS under Ben Howland, including 54-36-1 in Pac-10 play) makes them a lethal threat.

They host disappointing Oregon, a team that won 29 games last season and returned from starters from that same group. The Ducks waddle into Westwood this Saturday at just 15-11 on the season, 3-7 SU and ATS in their last 10 games. They now find themselves ‘on the proverbial bubble’. At 20-10 ATS as conference dogs when playing off back-to-back losses, they become dangerous Ducks this weekend.

No. 7 Texas Longhorns

We’ll find out what the Longhorns are all about this Saturday when they host Oklahoma in a key Big 12 battle in Austin. Texas’ impressive 27-point revenge win over Texas A&M Monday night kept them tied at 9-2 atop the conference standings with Kansas.

Normally, a letdown would be in order but we’re not biting. Too many numbers line up in the Horns favor in this matchup, including a 9-3 SU and ATS mark in the last 12 games in this series. The Sooners have tried five times to win a revenge game this season and they’ve come up empty all five times (SU and ATS). And that expected letdown off the Aggie win? Forget about it. Texas is 17-3 SU and 14-5-1 ATS in its last 20 games after facing A&M, including 9-1-1 ATS against an opponent off win. We’ll steer clear of OU here.

No. 8 Butler Bulldogs

Creeping up the ladder ever so quietly, the Bulldogs find themselves in great shape to pull down a top four seed in the Big Dance, provided they pass a big test in a Bracket Buster game this Saturday against Drake.

Strange, but right now neither of these two teams wishes they’d volunteered for this event this year. At 23-3, Drake is the surprise team in college basketball. Drake brings a spotless 7-0 ATS mark as a dog into this fray knowing it is 4-0 SU all-time in games against Horizon Conference opponents. They are also off a loss, and have yet to drop back-to-back games under new head coach Keno Davis.

Meanwhile, Butler is unbeaten outside the conference this season, 11-0 SU & 9-1 ATS. They are also 11-0 at Hinkle Fieldhouse this season (32-2 last 34 here). In a battle of Bulldogs, this becomes the best of all Bracket Busters this weekend.

No. 9 Stanford Cardinal

A rivalry rematch tips off at Maples Pavilion Sunday evening when both California and Stanford each take the court for the first time in eight days. The 15-9 Bears lost the first meeting between these schools, 82-77, in Berkeley and now find themselves sitting ‘on the bubble’.

Extended rest has turned the Cardinal into rust judging by their 1-6 ATS mark in Pac-10 games when playing with seven or more days of zzz's. Given Cal’s revenge motive, along with the urgency at hand, look for the Bears to improve on its 12-6 ATS mark on the road when avenging a same season conference home loss against a foe of a win.

No. 10 Wisconsin Badgers

The lone member of the Big Ten residing in the Top 10 polls this week, the Badgers invade Columbus on Sunday to meet the Buckeyes with Wisconsin tied atop the conference standings at 12 –2 with Purdue.

This is the first meeting between these two clubs since last year’s Big Ten tournament championship game when Ohio State prevailed, 66-49. The Buckeyes check in at 17-9 on the year and will look to keep in good graces with the NCAA Tournament committee with a strong showing.

They’ve responded well under head coach Thad Matta in games against top quality opposition, going 18-9 ATS when facing an .818 or better team, including 9-3 at home.

Life for Wisconsin has been fabulous at home under coach Bo Ryan, where they are 52-3 SU in Big Ten tilts. On the conference road under Ryan, though, they become a mediocre bunch at 28-27 SU & ATS. Still, have to respect Wisky’s 9-3 spread mark in this series when seeking revenge, including 6-1 when playing off a win.

Saturday's key NCAAB matchup notes

What bettors need to know: No. 2 Tennesse at No. 1 Memphis

This is the biggest matchup of this college basketball season by a country mile. It’s got everything you could want: No. 1 versus No. 2, an in-state rivalry, a couple of colorful and crafty coaches and a national spotlight.

You might not have known it, but this is the game you’ve been waiting for.

Projected odds

Chuck Esposito, assistant Vice President of Race and Sportsbook Operations at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, said on Thursday that he expects Memphis to open as a 5 1/2-point favorite.

The betting breakdown

The biggest difference between these two teams is that the Volunteers are making money for their backers and the Tigers aren’t. Wednesday night’s steamrolling of Tulane was a positive sign for Memphis bettors, but it was only the second time in their last six games that they came away with the cash. Overall, Memphis is 13-11-2 ATS, but against major conference schools (in which the pointspreads have generally been a little more reasonable) they’re a more inspiring 4-2.

Tennessee has an eight-game win streak on the go and they’ve covered in six of those games. The season didn’t start out so profitably for the Vols but aside from a surprising loss at Kentucky a month ago, they’ve had little trouble winning games or covering the numbers recently. It should be noted, however, that Tennessee is just 4-4 ATS on the road and they’ll be in very hostile territory in Memphis Saturday night.

The series

Last year, the matchup took place earlier in the season and only Memphis was in the national rankings, but the Vols shocked the No. 16 Tigers with a 76-58 win as one-point home dogs. The raucous crowd in Knoxville gave UT a boost that it used to build an early lead, which it hung on to for the entire game.

There was a little extra intrigue added to the matchup when Memphis coach John Calipari said he would rather not continue the series because it doesn’t help his program’s recruiting. Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl said no program respects Tennessee less than Memphis.

The previous year, the game took place in Memphis and the Tigers won the game by nine points, but that was a half-point shy of the cover.

The primetime players

Tennessee:

Chris Lofton is the prime mover in the Tennessee machine. The senior guard leads the Volunteers with 15.4 points per game and since his early-season shooting slump ended after the Kentucky loss, Big Orange has been almost unbeatable. He was only 4-for-10 from the field against Auburn, but he hit four big three-pointers in a game that was never really much of a contest. When Tennessee destroyed Memphis last year, Lofton was unstoppable with 34 points, including six 3-pointers.

Ramar Smith: The Tigers must be worried after watching Smith bust out of his shooting slump Wednesday night. The point guard had been mired in an awful slump but he caught fire Wednesday and nailed six of his seven shots from the floor and he also hit his first three-ball in 13 games.

Tyler Smith: This guy provides the “inside” in the Vols’ inside-out game. As 6-foot-6 forward, he chips in 13.4 points per game and plays hard on the boards, leading the team with 6.5 rebounds per game. He had a solid 13 points and 13 rebounds against Auburn.

Memphis:

Chris Douglas-Roberts: He’ll be matched up against Lofton so everybody will want to keep an eye on this battle. Both players are excellent ball-handlers and shooters, but CDR has the advantage here because he’s the better defender. Both players are undersized (although Douglas-Roberts has the height advantage) and not particularly athletic, but with another year of experience under his belt, Douglas-Roberts should excel on both ends of the floor in this game.

Derrick Rose: On a team full of superstars, Rose is probably the brightest. He came into this season as one of the most talked about wunderkinds in the country and the top point guard recruit. But the season has been a bit of a letdown. Yes, Rose has produced magic moments on the court, but for a guy who was supposed to be the second coming of Jason Kidd, 4.3 assists per game isn’t exactly awe-inspiring. He has all the tools, but in a game like this experience could count for a lot and a freshman point guard could be a liability for Memphis.

Joey Dorsey: While Douglas-Roberts and Rose get all the glory, Dorsey does all the dirty work. He’s a big, nasty banger who leads the Tigers in rebounds and blocked shots. He was removed from the starting lineup for the last four games, however, before Callipari reinserted him for Wednesday. The move should give Dorsey the motivation he needs to intimidate the Tennessee frontcourt and use his muscle and athleticism to dominate in the paint.

Storylines

Memphis’ hidden flaw: Even though Memphis is the No. 1 team in the country, they are dead last among 341 Division I schools in free-throw shooting percentage at 58.3 percent. The Tigers still own a perfect record, but they came within a fraction of a second of losing last weekend when they nipped UAB 79-78. Chris Douglas-Roberts made a clutch free throw at the end of the game to secure the lead but Memphis was 12-for-22 from the line in the game.

Tennessee sharing the love: There isn’t a busier bench in the country than Pearl’s. While the Tigers also like to get their bench players involved, they can’t compete with the Tennessee reserves. Pearl substitutes his players like a hockey team, subbing guys in and out with almost every stoppage of play. Only Chris Lofton averages more than 27 minutes per game and 11 players are regularly getting 10 minutes or more on the floor. Pearl got 12 players involved in Wednesday’s win over Auburn and plans to do the same in Memphis Saturday.

"Go as hard as you can, and believe in that guy behind you on the bench," assistant coach Steve Forbes told the Memphis Commercial-Appeal, describing the Vols' philosophy. "He's going to come in and play just as hard as you are, so don't save yourself. It's a different way to play, but it's effective. I think it's most effective in the second half, late in the game."
