Dunkel Pick:

He's only missing one early game, and it doesn't have a line yet.....Dunk posts his plays after lines have been established....he'll be back with his picks, as he always does......

[Udog]

Good morning, Kaptain!

The thing that's got me confused is that he always puts "Dunkel ratings" and "Dunkel line & total" up even before the games are on the board. I've just never seen him leave so much blank before!

PM and I check all day long, for updates, when he posts before games are lined. It's really weird but, if he's already posted, he rarely updates after games are lined. You sure wouldn't think it would be that much trouble, would you?

Thanks for the ATS updates!! Good luck today!

[Udog]

Kaptain,

Can you explain why it takes the linesetters so long to get these games lined and on the board? Why don't they do the next day as soon as the previous day's games are completed?

Tips and Trends
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SEC Title: Mississippi State vs. Tennessee [1 PM ET]

MSU: The Bulldogs will be playing their fourth game in four days and will be making their first conference championship appearance since 2003. They won it in 1996 and 2002 and are led inside by Jarvis Varnado, who owns the SEC single-season blocked shots record. Varnado had 19 points and seven blocks in a 67-57 upset of top-seeded LSU and will need to continue his strong play if Mississippi State is to beat Tennessee for the SEC title.

MSU is 5-0 SU & ATS in its last 5 games overall.
The OVER is 8-3-1 in MSU's last 12 games overall.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 72

Tennessee (-4.5,O/U 149): The Vols are playing in their first SEC championship game since 1991 after disappointing in recent years. “I’ve played in this tournament three times and came up short a lot,” Tennessee center Wayne Chism said. “To finally play on a Sunday, that’s very good.” Chism scored a career-high 27 points in a 94-85 win over Auburn on Saturday, and his team has the opportunity to earn as high as a four seed in the NCAA tournament with one more victory and an automatic berth.

Tennessee is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings.
The UNDER is 12-5 in Tennessee's last 17 games overall.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 77



ACC Title: #22 Florida State vs. #8 Duke [ESPN | 1 PM ET]

Florida State: While the Seminoles are certainly happy to be playing for the ACC championship, they would love nothing more than to beat both North Carolina and Duke en route to the title. Florida State guard Toney Douglas grew up 15 miles away from the Georgia Dome and came up huge against the Tar Heels on Saturday with 27 points in a 73-70 victory. “He has supreme confidence, and we have supreme confidence in him that if we get him into position, then something good is going to happen,” said Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton of Douglas. “We’ve come a long way,” Douglas said. “But we’re still hungry. We’re never satisfied.”

Florida State is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings.
The UNDER is 10-2 in the last 12 meetings.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 62 (UNDER - Total Play of the Day)

Duke (-6, O/U 134): The Blue Devils obviously won't get a chance to avenge two losses to North Carolina during the regular season, which makes you wonder if they will be motivated enough against Florida State. The Seminoles have covered five of the last six meetings and eight of the last 10 despite winning only three times during that stretch. “You have to be careful what you wish for,” Duke guard Jon Scheyer said. “Obviously, we’d like another shot at Carolina. It will be tough against Florida State. We just played Florida State so we know how good of a team they are.”

Duke is 4-8 ATS in its last 12 games overall.
The UNDER is 9-1 in Duke's last 10 neutral site games.

Key Injuries – NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 68



Big Ten Title: Ohio State at #24 Purdue [CBS | 3:30 PM ET]

Ohio State: The Buckeyes have won four straight following an 82-70 upset of top-seeded Michigan State on Saturday. They had gone 1-4 prior to the winning streak and have previously won the conference tournament in 2002 and 2007. “I think those guys are starting to come together,” Ohio State head coach Thad Matta said. “Hopefully we’ll see that improve as we keep moving forward.” “I just think we’re really focused right now,” Buckeyes guard Evan Turner said. “We just came together. This was a good team win all around. We all keyed in for 40 minutes to play hard.”

Ohio State is 1-7 ATS in its last 8 Sunday games.
The UNDER is 16-5 in Ohio State's last 21 Sunday games.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 56

Purdue (-6, O/U 124): The Boilermakers are making just their second appearance in the Big Ten championship game and have turned things around in a major way after dropping three of their last four games to end the regular season. They have won each of their first two tourney games by double digits with a healthy Robbie Hummel leading the way. Hummel is finally healthy again after suffering from a back injury, and his teammates are also playing with confidence. “I think we’ve just been coming out with a lot of intensity,” Purdue center JaJuan Johnson said. “We had a bitter taste in our mouths coming into this tournament. I think it’s important having these wins going into the NCAA tournament.”

Purdue is 4-12-1 ATS in the last 17 meetings.
The OVER is 3-1 in the last 4 meetings.

Key Injuries - G Chris Kramer (thigh) has returned.

PROJECTED SCORE: 68 (Side Play of the Day)

Notes on today's games.............

ACC tournament (Atlanta)
Florida State is in first-ever ACC tourney final; they lost twice to Duke this season, 66-58 (+9) at home Jan 10 (was 19-14 at half- Duke 25-39 at line, FSU 11-14), 84-81 at Duke March 3 (+11.5- FSU led by six at half). Duke won six of last seven games, is 0-3-1 vs spread in last four. Seminoles are 9-3-1 vs spread as an underdog in ACC games this year.

Big 11 tournament (Indianapolis)
Ohio State won its last four games, by 2-5-4-12 points, since 75-50 loss at Purdue March 1 (+10); Buckeyes beat the Boilers 80-72 at home in OT Feb 3, shooting 60% from floor. OSU is thought to be in field of 65, but you never know- they covered four of last five as underdog. Purdue had lost three of four before this week, but beat Penn State by 14, Illini by 10 in its first two tournament games.

SEC tournament (St Pete)
Mississippi State won, covered its last five games; they were underdog in three of last four, are trying to win four games in four days (Georgia did same thing at SEC tourney LY). State (+8) lost 81-76 at Tennessee Feb 25. Vols won five of last six games, scoring 79+ points in all five of the wins. Bulldogs probably need win to make NCAAs, Vols are in.
