Information on Sunday's college basketball games........

SEC tournament
Kentucky scored last seven points in regulation, won at Mississippi St 81-75 in OT Feb 16 (-2.5); Wildcats won 12 of last 13 games, are 5-3 vs spread in its last eight games as favorite- they're +11/+15 in second half the last two days. Mississippi State is 5-2 in last seven games; favorites are 6-3 vs spread in the SEC tournament so far this weekend. Most folks think Bulldogs are in tournament now, but no way is that a sure thing.

Atlantic 14 tournament
Temple won its last nine games, covered last six; they're 12-3 vs spread an A-14 favorite this season. Richmond's last six games were all decided by five or less points; they're 12-1 in last 13 games and covered their last six games as an underdog. Spiders (-2) handed Temple its worst loss in conference play, beating the Owls 71-54 at home Feb 6. Both teams are assumed in NCAAs, so they're playing for pride and a trophy.

ACC tournament
Duke split with Georgia Tech this year, losing 71-67 (-6) in Atlanta Jan 9 (Tech outscored them 22-9 at line), then winning 86-67 (-12), making 12-18 from arc in game where refs buried Tech's big men before the first TV timeout. Duke won 11 of its last 12 games since Georgetown upset. Tech is going for fourth win in last four days, after entering tourney on a 4-7 skid. Most people think Tech is in, but bubble teams are nervous.

Big 11 tournament
Minnesota/Ohio State split pair this year; Buckeyes lost 73-62 Jan 9 at Williams Arena (+6; Gophers made 11-23 from arc, outscored OSU 23-7 on foul line), then beat Minnesota 85-63 Jan 31 (-7.5). Ohio State won its last six games, pulling out dramatic wins last couple days. Gophers are 7-2 in last nine games, 4-3 as a Big 11 underdog; most people think if Minnesota is going to make NCAAs, they still need to win this game.
