Armadillo's Write-Up

Sunday, February 19

Iowa (+11.5) shot 63% but still lost 103-89 at Indiana Jan 29, as hosts had 18 offensive rebounds and outscored Hawkeyes 25-13 on foul line. Iowa is 6-4 as a Big Dozen underdog, 3-1 at home- they've won three of last four home games. Indiana won last three games by 17-13-5 points; they're 3-5 as a conference favorite, 0-2 on road, with only road wins at Penn State by 6, Purdue by 17. Big Dozen home underdogs of 5 or less points are 13-6 against the spread.

Purdue tossed Barlow (24.3 mpg, 8.3 ppg) off its team, suspended Byrd (17.1 mpg, 8 ppg) for this game; Boilers split their six conference home games SU, losing to Wisconsin-Michigan-Indiana. Michigan State won four in row, six of last seven games; they're 1-3 as Big Dozen road faves, as underdogs covered five of their six road games. Big Dozen home teams are 21-16 vs spread when number is 5 or less points. Interesting to see how Purdue reacts to their off-court issues.

Syracuse won its last six games, still hasn't lost when Melo has been in lineup; Orangemen are 5-2 as Big East road favorite, winning six games on road by 19-14-13-7-25-1 point, with loss at Notre Dame. Rutgers is 4-6 as Big East underdog, 1-2 at home, losing half their home games by 21-5-5 points. Scarlet Knights lost last four games overall, by 11-12-5-18 points. Big East home dogs of more than 9 points are 2-5 against the spread. Syracuse had two extra days to prepare for this game.

Georgia (+12.5) lost 77-66 at Vanderbilt Jan 14; Vandy made 30-44 on foul line, Dawgs 16-20. Commodores shot 51% for game. Favorites are 4-1 vs spread in Georgia's SEC home games; Dawgs are 0-2 as underdogs at home, with home losses by 15-3-13 points (2-3 SU). Vandy crushed Ole Miss in Oxford last game, shooting 63% from floor; they're 3-2 SU on road, winning by 10-10-26 points, losing at Arkansas/Florida. SEC home underdogs of 6 or less points are 9-7 against the spread.

Wisconsin (-8) won 52-46 at Penn State Jan 31, a brickfest where both teams shot 36% or worse- Penn State led by 6 at half. Big Dozen home favorites of 12+ points are 8-3 against the spread. Badgers covered one of last five games, are 1-4 as Big Dozen home favorites, winning at home by 5-20-7 points (3-3 SU); they were held under 60 points four times in last five games. Penn State hasn't won/covered any of its road games in conference play, with four of seven losses by 18+ points.

Duke was down 20 in second half to NC State Thursday, rallied to win, but there are red flags there; Blue Devils have been down by 10+ points in second half in three of last four games- they're 3-1 as road favorite in ACC games, winning away games by 7-7-13-15-1 point. Road team has covered nine of their 11 league games. Boston College is 9-3 vs spread in ACC games, 4-1 as home dog, losing home games by 15-5-22- splitting six home games SU. ACC home underdogs of 9+ points are 7-1.

Pitt (-1.5) got waxed 63-51 at South Florida Feb 8; Bulls shot 60.5% for game, getting any shot they wanted inside when they didn't turn the ball over (17 turnovers). Pitt lost its last three games by 12-7-18 points, as their season has gone in ashcan. Big East home faves of 7 or less points are 16-20 against the spread. Wrong team is favored in this game; USF is tough on defense- they've won seven of last nine games, and if their jerseys said something other than "USF" they'd be favored here.

Stanford (-1.5) lost 78-67 at Oregon Jan 5, outscored 20-5 on foul line, with Ducks making 8-17 behind arc. Cardinal is 5-2 as home favorite in Pac-12 play, winning home games by 1-8-3-20-24-5, losing to Arizona. Oregon is 5-1 as Pac-12 road dog, with only one of its three losses on Pac-12 road by more than three points- they covered last five games and nine of last 11 games overall. Pac-12 home favorites of less than 6 points are 10-9 against the spread.

Boston U is 10-4 in America East (#29 out of 32 leagues), 4-10 outside; they played #27 non-league schedule in country, which explains partly why they're 2-10 vs teams ranked in top 150. Loyola Md is 19-7, 12-4 in MAAC (#20 league) but they've lost last two games, scoring 51-54 points. Greyhounds are 2-0 vs America East teams, beating UMBC by 10, New Hampshire by 6. MAAC home favorites are 4-8 against the spread in non-conference games.

Tennessee State is only team to beat Murray State; they host the Racers next game-- Tigers won their last eight games, covering last three tries as an underdog- they beat MAC's Central Michigan by 8 Dec 10. Miami is 1-7 vs spread as a favorite this year; they lost by 7 at SE Missouri, an OVC rival of Tennessee State. OVC road underdogs of 6 or less points are 9-5 against the spread. MAC single digit home favorites are 11-3-1. TSU's last road game was their win at Murray State.
