                    St. John's Red Storm at Memphis Tigers [ESPN2 | 9:00 PM ET]

                    Red Storm: An NIT berth was welcomed with open arms for St. Johns, as the Red Storm finished the season only 17-15 SU. Without question St. Johns played one of the toughest schedules in the country this year, as the Big East is brutally difficult. St. Johns finished Big East play with a 6-12 SU record. Despite the struggles in conference play, St. Johns is a very tough opponent to match up with. The Red Storm play a physical brand of ball, and have a very deep bench that fights you for 40 minutes. The Red Storm were 9-9 SU and 12-6 ATS away from home this season. The Red Storm were 11-7-1 ATS as the listed underdog this season. St. Johns played very sound defense in the Big East conference tournament, allowing only 54 PPG in their 2 games there. G D.J. Kennedy is the heart and soul of this team, as he led the team in all 3 major offensive categories. Kennedy averaged 15 PPG, 6.1 RPG, and 3.1 APG this season. It appears the only thing that would save Coach Norm Roberts from being fired is an NIT Championship.

                    Red Storm is 4-1 ATS last 5 games as a road underdog.
                    Under is 4-0 last 4 non-conference games.

                    Key Injuries - G Dwight Hardy (knee) is questionable.

                    PROJECTED SCORE: 63 (Side of the Day)

                    Tigers (-7.5, O/U 134): It's been 5 years since Memphis has played in any postseason tournament other than the NCAA Tournament. Motivation will likely be an issue for Memphis tonight, as they lost SU in the quarterfinals of their conference tournament to lose any chance of making the NCAA Tournament field. Memphis was 23-9 SU this season, and finished 13-4 SU in conference play this season. The Tigers were 16-3 SU and 5-9 ATS this season at home. Memphis was 4-6 ATS as a single digit favorite this season. Memphis has lost 4 of their past 5 games ATS at home entering tonight's contest. G Elliot Williams leads 4 different Tigers averaging double figures in PTS this season. Williams averaged 18.3 PPG this season while starting every game this season. Williams struggled against his toughest competition however, shooting less than 30% against his 4 toughest opponents. Memphis is shooting better than 38% from the 3 point line this season. Rebounding continues to be an issue for the Tigers, as they only outrebounded league opponents 3 times out of a possible 16 games this season.

                    Tigers are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.
                    Over is 8-1 last 9 games following an ATS loss.

                    Key Injuries - F Pierre Henderson-Niles (academics) is out.

                    PROJECTED SCORE: 65

                      San Antonio Spurs at Orlando Magic [ESPN | 8:00 PM ET]

                      Spurs: San Antonio is excited to play Orlando, as they were swept in both meetings last season to them. San Antonio has won 7 of their past 8 games SU, and appear to be in the midst of a 2nd half surge up the playoff standings. San Antonio is 39-25 SU, currently in 7th place in the Western Conference playoff standings. The Spurs are only 2.5 games behind 4th place, so every time they step on the court it's a crucial game. The Spurs are 15-15 SU and 13-17 ATS on the road this season. The Spurs are 5-6 ATS as the listed underdog this season. March has been good to the Spurs ATS as well, going 6-1 ATS thus far. San Antonio has scored more than 100 PTS in 7 of their past 9 games. Defensively, the Spurs have only allowed 1 of their past 7 opponents to score more than 92 PTS against them. 5 different Spurs players average double figures in PTS this season, led by F Tim Duncan. Duncan is averaging team highs of 18.7 PPG and 10.4 RPG this season. Rookie F DeJuan Blair is having an impact for the Spurs off the bench, averaging 7.7 PPG and 6.3 RPG this season.

                      Spurs are 7-0 ATS last 7 games overall.
                      Under is 6-0 last 6 games as a road underdog.

                      Key Injuries - G Tony Parker (hand) is out.

                      PROJECTED SCORE: 91

                      Magic (-7.5, O/U 194.5): Orlando has won 8 of their past 9 games SU entering tonight. Orlando is cruising along with the 3rd best record in the NBA at 47-21 SU. Orlando had scored at least 109 PTS in 3 consecutive games before scoring 89 PTS in their last game. Those 89 PTS resulted in a SU home loss for the Magic, a rarity this season. The Magic are 27-7 SU and 18-15-1 ATS at home this season. Orlando is 30-28 ATS as the listed favorite this season. Orlando has been very good at responding to SU losses, as they are 9-4 ATS when losing the previous game as the listed favorite. Coach Stan Van Gundy demands excellence from his team, and they respond well to him. C Dwight Howard continues his MVP caliber season, as he averages 18.7 PPG and 13.4 RPG this season. F Rashard Lewis is about the only Magic player that is currently struggling. Lewis averages 14.2 PPG this season, but has been held to 6 PTS or fewer in each of his last 3 games. Orlando can clinch a playoff berth with a SU win today.

                      Magic is 5-2 ATS last 7 games as a home favorite.
                      Under is 15-5-1 last 21 games as a home favorite.

                      Key Injuries - F Matt Barnes (toe) is questionable.

                      PROJECTED SCORE: 95 (UNDER - Total of the Day)

                        Wednesday's List of 13: Baseball knowledge for St Patrick's Day

                        13) Of the eight position players who started on Opening Day for Mets LY, only three wound up starting half their games, and two of the three were Daniel Murphy and Luis Castillo. Yikes.

                        12) Bobby Abreu took 68% of pitches he saw LY, highest percentage in the major leagues.

                        11) Bronx Bombers were 12-23 LY when they didn't hit a homer, 34-19 if they hit one, 35-10 if they hit two, 22-7 if they hit 3+.

                          Len's Top 5

                          Happy St. Patty's day everyone, here's my Top 5 for March 17, 2010 from Len Berman.

                          1. Quick Hits

                          To no one's surprise, Tiger Woods will return to golf at the Masters in 3 weeks.
                          In the NCAA tournament play-in game, Arkansas-Pine Bluff beat Winthrop 61-44. They'll play Duke Friday night.
                          Andre Agassi apologizes for making fun of Pete Sampras and his lack of tipping generosity, during a charity tennis match. Agassi told ESPN's Rick Reilly (a Top 5 subscriber) that "It was out of line."
                          Oh well. So much for that Olympic hockey afterglow. NHL ratings have gone down since the end of the Vancouver games.

                          2. The Grass Menagerie

                          Will this be a circus or what? Tiger Woods' return to competitive golf. Well he had to come back sometime, and I thought from day one the Masters would be that sometime. So let the speculation begin. Fan reaction? Fellow players? TV ratings? It'll be the Greatest Show on Turf. And don't feign apathy. You know you'll be watching.

                          3. Proof Positive

                          I knew the NFL's "secret coin toss" to award the Giants the first game at their new stadium wasn't kosher. Subscriber Elliot D. has found the smoking gun. He writes of course it wasn't legitimate. "Do you really think the NFL Network would pass on an opportunity for a Jets/Giants coin toss climaxing a two hour program on the History of NFL Coin Tosses? That would have been followed by an eight hour documentary detailing all the preparation and post toss reactions. That's 10 solid hours of NFL Network programming!"
                          I can't argue with that logic.

                          4. It's Always Something

                          Subscriber Karen V. says you "gotta love the Mets." They lowered the price of her ticket plan for 2010 and even improved her seat location. And included with her tickets was a "very special offer from Amtrak." Take 3 round trips on Acela Express between January 7 and March 13, 2010, and get one free. Her Mets tickets arrived March 15th.
                          That ship has sailed, or something to that effect.

                          5. World Play

                          I stumbled on an AOL story about anagrams. Did you know if you rearrange the letters in Britney Spears' name you can get Presbyterians? Jennifer Aniston, Fine in Torn Jeans. Woody Allen, A Lewd Loony.
                          So I tried Tiger Woods and came up with Go Rowdiest and Worst Dogie. Just thought you'd like to know.

                            Thursday, March 18

                            Thursday's NCAA games

                            Ohio U won its last five games, with two of last four going OT; they're 10-1 vs spread in last 11 games, but lost by 25 to Pitt on only game vs a Big East foe. MAC teams are 6-3 vs spread in last nine first round tilts, but are 0-6 SU in first round. Georgetown won four of last five games, is 7-4 vs spread in last 11 as a favorite. MAC underdogs are 33-38.

                            San Diego State won nine of last 10 games, covered 12 of last 15, seven of nine as underdog; MWC underdogs are 15-13 vs spread. Tennessee is 5-1 in last six games, but just 3-7 vs spread in last 10 games as favorite. Pearl is 3-1 in first round with Vols, winning by 2-35-15 points. Aztecs are 11-2 in non-league games, losing at St Mary's by 22, at ASU by 3.

                            Villanova lost five of last seven games, but is 7-3-1 vs spread as favorite in non-league games; Big East favorites are 50-53 vs spread in non-league games. Robert Morris ranks 36th in forcing turnovers, but Wildcats have veteran crew on perimeter. NEC covered six of last seven tourney games, which includes two play-in wins. #2 seeds are 7-5 vs spread last 3 years.

                            St Mary's won last five games; they're 13-2 outside WCC, losing to USC and Vanderbilt; Gaels haven't played in 10 days. Richmond played A-14 title game Sunday. Spiders are 11-4 outside A-14, losing at VCU, Wake, So Carolina and Wm Mary. WCC dogs are 24-30 vs spread. A-14 faves are 32-26. Early game/cross-country travel for Gaels favors Richmond.

                            Did Jacksonville's NIT win Tuesday give East Tennessee St confidence? Buccaneers lost by 10 to Pitt in first round LY- they lost to Louisville by 13, Tennessee by 12 this year, so they're not stiffs. Calipari's Tigers struggled with Northridge in first round LY- Wildcats won SEC title on Sunday, in OT. #1 seed in East is 5-13 vs spread in last 18 1st rounders.

                            Wake Forest lost five of last six games, but covered six of last eight as an underdog. Texas is 7-9 in last 16 games, 3-11 vs spread in last 14 games as a favorite. Longhorns won last four first round games by 8-12-20-14 points, but Wake has decided edge at PG here with senior Smith, who is dreadful shooter but good leader. ACC underdogs are 12-8 vs spread.

                            Sam Houston State lost at Kentucky by 10, beat Auburn by 18' they're shooting 38% from arc, rank 2nd in country in assist/basket ratio, but in three tourneys since Northwestern State upset Iowa, Southland teams lost by 13-24-15 points. Baylor has good big man, but against team that shoots 3's, that matters less. Bears are 3-0 as a double digit favorite.

                            Old Dominion won eight of last nine games; they're first in country in %age of points scored on 2-point shots, and offensive rebounding %age. These two teams rank 297/304 in pace, so low-possession game likely. Notre Dame won six of last seven games; its last five losses are all by 3 or less points. CAA teams are 3-10 in last thirteen first round games.

                            Patriot League teams lost last three first round games by 10-15-15 pts since Bucknell won in '05/'06 ('05 win was vs Kansas); Lehigh lost by 18 to Dayton, Richmond by 12, top teams they played this year. Kansas is 3-3 vs spread in last six first round games, 5-6 as non-league favorite this year. Big 12 favorites are 45-28 against spread in non-conference games.

                            Northern Iowa allowed just 46.8 ppg in winning last four games; they're 10-1 outside MVC, beating MWC's Wyoming by 18; Panthers are #342 in pace, so they want to slow down UNLV team that won six of its last seven games (only one was on road); they beat MVC's Southern Illinois by 9. UNI ranks 90th in experience, UNLV is 254th, so edge Panthers.

                            North Texas won last 10 games, is 6-1-1 vs spread as underdog; they've lost by 14 at Oklahoma State, 10 at Texas A&M, so they shouldn't be in awe of K-State team that is 2-3 in last five games, losing on Senior Day to Iowa State. Odd stat: #2 seed in West is 2-11 vs spread in first round last 13 years. K-State was last favored in an NCAA game back in 1993.

                            Florida lost four of last five games, BYU won seven of last nine; Gators are working on 12-0 tourney win streak, but those players are long gone. BYU hasn't won tourney game since '93, losing last six first round games (were favored in last two) but last time they won in NCAAs was as #7 seed, last time they were this high a seed. Gators are 6-3 as NCAA dog.

                            UTEP is 16-1 in last 17 games, losing C-USA final Saturday; they gave up 75+ points in their losses, 81+ in four of five. Miners played 263rd ranked non-league schedule, Butler #4, so Bulldogs more battle-tested. Butler won last 20 games, but lost by 10 at C-USA's UAB early in year. #12 seeds are 5-3 SU vs 5 seeds in first round the last two tournaments.

                            Mother one of one Murray State's players died in car wreck earlier this week, so Racers dealing with tragedy; Murray is in tournament for first time since '06- they lost last nine first round games, covering one of last four. Racers are #12 in offensive rebounding, Vandy is #256 on defensive boards. Commodores want to get ball inside against smaller Murray St.

                            Big Sky teams are 1-9 in first round last 10 years, but Montana was the winner, upsetting Nevada (+5.5) in '06; Griz was down 20 at half in Big Sky final, were brought back by prolific G Johnson, who scored 34 of 42 Montana points in second half. New Mexico is 15-1 in last 16 games, is 0-5 vs spread in last five as fave- they beat Big Sky's No Arizona by 39.

                            Washington won last seven games, all road/neutral games; they lost by 8 on neutral floor to Big East's Georgetown in fall. At one point, Huskies were 7-7 in Pac-10, then caught fire. Marquette is 11-3 in last 14 games, with six of last eight decided by 4 or less points, or in OT. Battle of pace as Washington plays 10th-fastest games in country, Marquette 305th.
