Bucks Battle LA Lakers Minus Andrew Bogut

There are six games that litter the NBA rotation schedule on Saturday night, and there are definitely some notes that have to be taken into consideration for those contests.

Coming into play on Friday, the Eastern Conference playoff race essentially features six teams that are well above .500 and several that are flirting just on the wrong side of .500. The Bucks would be the last team in the postseason right now at just 7-10 SU.

Milwaukee is coming off of its first win on the road at the Houston Rockets since 1999 on Wednesday, when the Bucks notched a 105-99 triumph. It was the team’s third road victory of the season, the first two of which surprisingly came against Eastern Conference contenders, the Miami Heat and New York Knicks.

The only bad news from the win against Houston was that Andrew Bogut suffered an ankle injury that will keep him out of the lineup for at least the next two weeks. Without Bogut in the fold, the Bucks only have two men that are averaging double-digits in scoring (Brandon Jennings and Stephen Jackson), and only Ersan Ilyasova is averaging more than 5.2 RPG on the team.

Bogut had already missed five games this year, all coming on the road against Western Conference opponents. The Bucks went 0-5 SU and just 1-4 ATS. The good news on Saturday is that they will be back at home. The bad news is that the team coming to town is the Los Angeles Lakers, a squad with no shortage of big men that it can throw the Bucks’ way.

Tip time from Milwaukee's Bradley Center is set for 8:30 p.m. (ET).

As for those Rockets, the home loss to Milwaukee was a bit of a shock for a team that is 7-2 SU and 6-3 ATS on its own floor. Houston welcomes the New York Knicks to Toyota Center on Saturday night at 8:00 (ET).

Saturday's nationally televised game on NBA TV pits the Utah Jazz against the Sacramento Kings. On paper, this looks like a horrendous mismatch. Not only is Utah 5.5-games in front of the Kings in the standings, but the Jazz are 8-3 SU and 7-4 ATS when playing at EnergySolutions Arena, while the Kings are just 2-9 SU and ATS on the road.

Sacramento’s defense ranks dead last in the league, allowing 102.6 PPG, and the unit has been atrocious of late. Over the last three games, all of which were defeats both SU and ATS, the Kings allowed an average of 117.0 PPG. Utah enters this one having scored at least 106 in five out of six.

This clash on the NBA hardwood is set for 9:00 (ET).

The Washington Wizards and Charlotte Bobcats battle for the second time in just three days when they meet Saturday at Time Warner Cable Arena at 7:00 (ET). Elsewhere in the Eastern Conference at the same time, the Philadelphia 76ers will look to extend their lead in the Atlantic Division when they take on the Detroit Pistons.

The other Western Conference game on the NBA slate pits the Phoenix Suns against the Memphis Grizzlies in a 9:00 (ET) affair.

Saturday's Slate

January 27, 2012

Gamblers have bets and ballgames galore to feast on Saturday in college hoops. Let’s start with an SEC showdown at the O-Dome in Gainesville, where Florida (16-4 straight up, 7-7-1 against the spread) will take on Mississippi St. at 1:45 p.m. Eastern on The SEC Network (channel 725 on DirecTV).

BetOnline.com opened the Gators as 9 ½-point favorites with a total of 145. In less than 20 minutes, the number was adjusted to 10. By 6:30 p.m. Eastern on Friday night, the total was moved to 147 at most betting shops.

UF is facing a quick turnaround after rallying to beat Ole Miss 64-60 Thursday night in Oxford. Billy Donovan’s club came out flat, falling behind 20-4 before cutting the deficit to 38-28 at intermission.

Bettors jumping on the Gators for halftime bets (-5.5, +4.5 adjusted) were able to easily cash tickets. Kenny Boynton drained four 3-pointers en route to scoring 12 points, while Erving Walker scored 10 points and dished out nine assists. Patric Young scored a team-high 15 points on 7-of-10 shooting from the field.

The Rebels killed UF on the boards with a 36-18 advantage. However, the Gators made up for the rebounding deficit by taking care of the basketball with only six turnovers.

Florida is unbeaten in 12 home games, posting a 3-3-1 spread record. Assuming the line stays at 10 or more, we should note that UF owns a 3-4-1 ATS mark in eight games as a double-digit ‘chalk.’

Mississippi State (17-4 SU, 10-10 ATS) has won four of its last five games, including Wednesday’s non-covering victory over LSU by a 76-71 count as a nine-point home favorite. Arnett Moultrie remained the leading candidate to win SEC Player of the Year honors with another stellar effort, scoring 28 points to go with 12 rebounds.

The UTEP transfer has been dominant for the Bulldogs, averaging team-highs in points (17.1 PPG), rebounds (11.2 RPG) and FG percentage (56.3%). Moultrie has plenty of help thanks to the presence of senior point guard Dee Bost, who is averaging 16.0 points, 4.7 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game.

Rick Stansbury’s team has been an underdog six times, compiling a 5-1 spread record with three outright wins over Alabama, Vanderbilt, Arizona and Texas A&M.

The ‘over is 11-4 overall for the Gators, 6-1 in their home games. Meanwhile, MSU has seen the ‘over’ cash in its last three games and go 11-9 overall.

The WCC isn’t about just Gonzaga these days. With the addition of BYU along with the emergence of Saint Mary’s in recent years, the league now has three programs that are in the mix for an NCAA bid annually. The Gaels, who beat BYU 98-82 on Dec. 29, will look to sweep the season series when they venture into Provo on Saturday night.

BYU (18-5 SU, 10-9 ATS) stepped out of conference and flew across the country to collect a solid road win Wednesday at Va. Tech. The Cougars won a 70-68 decision over the Hokies as three-point underdogs. Brock Zylstra buried a clutch trey with 23 seconds left to put BYU up for good at 69-66.

Noah Harstock scored 22 points to go with seven rebounds, three blocked shots and a pair of steals for the winners. Brandon Davies added 17 points, five rebounds and four assists.

Saint Mary’s (20-2 SU, 10-7 ATS) hasn’t tasted defeat since a Dec. 22 loss to Baylor. Randy Bennett’s squad has won 10 in a row but is mired in a 2-5 ATS slump in its last seven contests.

The Gaels are led by Jones, a senior forward who began his career at San Diego and hit a game-winning jumper to propel the Toreros to a stunning win over UConn in the first round of the 2008 NCAA Tournament. Jones is averaging 14.3 points and 10.9 rebounds per game.

As of early Friday night, most spots had BYU listed as a 2 ½-point favorite with a total of 152.

Dave Rose’s team has won 10 of its 12 home games while going 5-3 versus the number. BYU has a 2-2 spread record in four single-digit ‘chalk’ spots so far this year. As for Saint Mary’s, it has only been an underdog once, losing 72-59 to Baylor at The Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.

When the Gaels cruised to an easy win over BYU as four-point home favorites last month, Rob Jones led the way with 25 points and 14 rebounds. Stephen Holt added 21 points, while Matthew Dellavedova finished with 18 points and 12 assists. Davies scored a game-high 28 points in the losing effort.

ESPNU will have the telecast at 9:00 p.m. Eastern.

**B.E.’s Bonus Nuggets**

--Middle Tennessee finally failed to cover the number in Thursday’s 71-58 home win over Troy as a 17-point home favorite. The Blue Raiders have the second-best spread record in the country with a 15-5 ATS ledger. They make the quick trip to Music City on Saturday to face Vandy at Memorial Coliseum. The Commodores opened as 8 1/2-point home ‘chalk’ at most spots.

--BetOnline opened Alabama as a 9 ½-point home favorite vs. Arkansas, but the number was moved to 11 within a half-hour.

--The top-ranked Kentucky Wildcats are nine-point road favorites Saturday at LSU. Tip-off in Baton Rouge is slated for 4:00 p.m. Eastern on The SEC Network. The total is 133.

--Nevada owns the nation’s premier ATS ledger at 13-3. The Wolfpack make the long trek to Ruston on Saturday to take on Louisiana Tech. The Bulldogs could be without one of their top players in Raheem Appleby (13.3 PPG), who is ‘questionable’ with a knee injury. Nevada has been installed as a six-point road favorite.

--Best wishes to College of Charleston head coach Bobby Cremins, who has taken an indefinite leave of absence to deal with a health issue that isn't believed to be life-threatening. While doing a feature story on former Ga. Tech player T.J. Vines as a young writer for the Marietta Daily Journal, Cremins granted me an interview at media day and was as nice and courteous as can be. Here's to hoping he gets back to the Cougars soon. After a 10-2 start to the year, they have lost six of their last eight games.

No. 1 Kentucky visits LSU on Saturday

KENTUCKY WILDCATS (20-1, 6-0 SEC)

at LSU TIGERS (12-8, 2-4 SEC)

Tip-Off: Saturday, 4:00 p.m. EDT
Line: Kentucky -9.5

No. 1-ranked Kentucky looks to remain unbeaten in SEC play when it travels to Baton Rouge to take on conference foe LSU on Saturday afternoon.

Despite occupying the top spot in the rankings, the Wildcats have not been a strong bet against the spread this season, going just 2-7 ATS over their last nine games, including a 1-2 ATS record in road conference games. Kentucky eked out a half-point cover (-12.5) in its 57-44 win at Georgia on Tuesday night, but the ‘Cats have struggled to score in their three SEC road games, averaging just 63.3 points per game—well below their 78.4 PPG mark overall. This plays well into the hands of LSU, who doesn’t light it up offensively (67.2 PPG), but likes to grind opponents down with solid defense. Despite their unimpressive SEC record, all four of the Tigers’ conference losses came in road games. LSU boasts a 4-3 ATS record at home, including impressive outright wins over then-No. 10 Marquette and an 81-55 drubbing of Ole Miss. The Bayou Bengals may not have the firepower to run with the tremendously athletic Wildcats, but Kentucky has consistently played down to its competition all season, and all the numbers point to LSU keeping this one close enough to cover.

In terms of balance, there are few teams in the country that can compete with Kentucky’s offensive lineup. The Wildcats feature six different players averaging in double-figures, including sophomores Doron Lamb (13.7 PPG) and Terrence Jones (11.6 PPG, 6.3 RPG) who returned from last year’s Final Four team. Head coach John Calipari doesn’t have much depth in this lineup though, essentially rolling with a seven-man rotation with four players averaging over 30 minutes per game. The ‘Cats also feature two of the most talented freshmen in the nation with versatile forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (13.2 PPG, 7.6 RPG) and celebrated big man Anthony Davis (13.2 PPG, 10.3 RPG, 4.7 BPG). Not only is Davis running away with Freshman of the Year honors, he very well may make the All-America team by season’s end.

Davis will have his hands full in this game with LSU’s leading scorer—junior center Justin Hamilton (13.9 PPG, 7.4 RPG). The Tigers love to feed the ball inside to Hamilton, but have yet to face a big man as dynamic as Davis. LSU will need a big game from its young tandem of guards—sophomore Andre Stringer (10.8 PPG) and freshman Anthony Hickey (10.0 PPG). Look for the Tigers to slow the pace of the game down to prevent the Wildcats from turning this into a track meet, but LSU will need Stringer and Hickey to knock down some open jumpers to keep this game close.

No. 6 Baylor looks for rare win vs. Texas

TEXAS LONGHORNS (13-7)

at BAYLOR BEARS (18-2)

Tip-off: Saturday, 1:00 p.m. EDT
Line: Baylor -9

No. 6 Baylor is looking to ensure it is back on track in the Big 12 with a win over an uncharacteristically struggling Texas team on Saturday afternoon.

The Bears had stayed undefeated until Big 12 play, but last week lost two consecutive games to Kansas and Missouri, the latter of which was by just one point. They rebounded nicely, though, with a 12-point SU and ATS win over Oklahoma on Tuesday. Although the Longhorns have been a miserable bet this season, going 5-10 ATS and just 2-5 ATS in Big 12 play, that is being factored into the lines too heavily, as Texas should be able to keep this game close. They have treated Waco as a second home in recent years going 12-1 SU and 9-4 ATS there since 1999. The Bears are also catching Longhorns guard J’Covan Brown (19.1 PPG) at the wrong time, who is in the midst of a four-game hot stretch in which he is averaging 23.0 PPG with 3.8 treys per game in that span. Play on TEXAS as underdogs to keep this game close.

Brown is everything to the Texas offense that as a whole averages a respectable 74.6 PPG this season. Almost all of the Longhorns production comes from its backcourt as freshman guards Sheldon McClellan (11.5 PPG) and Myck Kabongo (9.8 PPG) are the team’s next two leading scorers. Kabongo has been strong as the team’s point guard this season with 5.5 APG and 1.2 SPG. To keep it close, Clint Chapman (6.9 PPG, 5.8 RPG, 1.8 BPG) must be physical in the paint. The 6-foot-10 center will be matched up with Perry Jones III, setting up for an exciting battle down low. Play on the Horns to win with the points.

Baylor is one of the country’s most efficient teams on the offensive end, scoring its 78.2 PPG on 49.6% FG (7th-best in the nation). Center Perry Jones III leads that effort with 14.2 PPG on a 55.2% rate from the floor. Four other players, though, contribute double-digit points for the Bears on a deep offensive squad. Pierre Jackson (12.8 PPG), Quincy Acy (12.7 PPG), Quincy Miller (12.5 PPG) and Brady Heslip (10.0 PPG) round out that crew. Although Jackson (3.8 turnovers per game) needs to take better care of the ball, he is a great passer (6.0 APG) and shoots efficiently from the field at 51.2% and 50.7% from three-point range. The Bears are certainly the better team in this game, but given the Longhorns’ success at Waco, play against them here.

Blue Raiders surging at 20-2 in best start ever

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders are enjoying the results of their chemistry experiment.

Coach Kermit Davis had built a roster featuring four transfers from other Division I programs and three junior college players to a group returning three starters from a .500 team.

LaRon Dendy sat out last season as a transfer from Iowa State and says they swapped phone numbers followed by lots of texts. By the time the Blue Raiders hit campus, nobody felt like a stranger as they started playing pick-up games.

``Everybody wanting to win. That's where it all started off at,'' Dendy said.

And the Blue Raiders have been winning.

They are off to the best start in Middle Tennessee history at 20-2, winning 12 straight going into Saturday's game at Vanderbilt. It's their first 20-win season since 1990-91, and their 71-58 win over Troy on Thursday night for a 9-0 start in the Sun Belt Conference that is their best since 1974-75.

A mid-August trip to Calgary, Alberta in Canada for four games also helped speed up the new teammates figuring each other out on the court.

Junior guard JT Sulton, who has started 33 straight games, points to the Canada trip helping the Blue Raiders learn what each could and couldn't do. He said the players simply took ownership of the team then with NCAA rules limiting how much time coaches could be with them.

``We had to take it upon ourselves to become a better team,'' Sulton said.

Now only No. 11 Murray State (20-0), No. 3 Syracuse (21-1), No. 2 Kentucky (20-1) have better records this season than Middle Tennessee.

``It's a lot of fun,'' said Davis, who became the winningest coach in Middle Tennessee history earlier this season, passing Jimmy Earle, and now has 173 wins. ``Our guys are a fun group to coach. They've got a great personality. They just work really hard, and it's a team that you can have a lot of fun with off the court. But on the court, they really play and have great effort, so it's been a fun time so far.''

Middle Tennessee gave a strong hint of what this team might be capable of with a win at Loyola Marymount, then the Blue Raiders stunned UCLA in an 86-66 rout hitting 10 of 11 3-pointers and set a school record shooting 71.4 percent. The Blue Raiders also won at Mississippi 68-56 in December and avenged their first loss in double overtime to Belmont with a 65-62 home win in December.

Of their 20 wins, 16 have come by double figures including eight straight, which helped Middle Tennessee received votes for the first time Monday in The Associated Press' rankings.

Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings said Belmont coach Rick Byrd warned him Davis had a team that wasn't just good by Middle Tennessee's standards or the Sun Belt Conference.

``He said they're really good, and they've certainly proven him to be 100 percent correct,'' Stallings said.

Davis has a team filled with size with seven Blue Raiders taller than 6-foot 4 with 6-9 Dendy averaging a team-best 13.4 points and 6.9 rebounds per game. They share the ball well with 10 players scoring in double figures at least one game this season, and Middle Tennessee ranked eighth nationally through Monday, holding opponents to 37.5 percent shooting.

Sulton said this group loves playing defense first since everyone can have off nights offensively.

``But you can always defend, so we try to preach that a lot and practice and stay on it,'' Sulton said. ``Our goal is to keep our opponents under 30 percent, so ... we try to stick to that goal. We let our offense come to us.''

Words every coach loves to hear, and the timing is great for Davis, who had his critics after going 16-16 in his ninth season. Middle Tennessee has a proud basketball history with NCAA tournament wins over Kentucky in 1982 and Florida State in 1989. But the Blue Raiders haven't been in the tournament since then, and patience had been waning.

Davis focuses on coaching his team. He grew up in the coaching business and remembers people hollering at his dad, Kermit Davis Sr., from the stands.

A win Saturday could clinch an at-large NCAA tournament berth for Middle Tennessee in case the Blue Raiders don't win the Sun Belt tournament and automatic berth.

That is something Davis wants to keep control of himself.

``In my mindset, we have to win the conference tournament. I think that's always got to be your mindset at our level. If the season ended today, would we be considered for an at-large? No question about it. Whether we get in, it's up to those people, but we're right in that mix. But at our level, you have to go in thinking you're trying like heck to win your regular season championship and understand more than likely you're going to have to win three games in March,'' Davis said.

``And if you don't have to, great. But that's our mindset right now.''
