Hot & Not

January 8, 2013

Conference play has picked up on the college hardwood in the 2012-13 NCAA basketball season, so there's no better time than now to start keeping tabs on some of the best and worst teams heading into the week. The following is a look at what the some of the hottest and coldest teams from a point-spread perspective have on their plate for the upcoming week.

Money-Makers

Indiana State Sycamores (8-3 ATS, 5-0 ATS L/5) - The Sycamores will enter the week having covered each of the L/7 times it took to the college hardwood after barely coming within the 14.5-point spread in a 79-66 loss at Creighton over the weekend. Indy State has played to one of the toughest schedules in the nation per the Pomeroy Ratings, so good things should be in store the rest of the way. They'll look to snag their third MVC win on Wednesday at home against Bradley (4-1 SU & 3-2 ATS L/5 overall and as hosts), and then hit the road for Carbondale to battle a Salukis squad its beaten and covered against in four of the L/5 overall confrontations.

UTEP Miners (5-6 ATS, 5-0 ATS L/5) - Coach Floyd's kids might be a .500 team entering the week, but the Miners have rattled off five straight pointspread covers after easily coming within the 10.5-point spread in their 62-58 loss at Colorado State last Wednesday. They'll hit the road to battle Tulane (1-3 SU & ATS L/5 visits; 1-4 ATS L/5 overall) before returning home to battle Marshall (4-0 SU & 3-1 L/4 as hosts; 7-1 SU & 5-3 ATS L/8 overall) in CUSA play this week.

Arkansas State Red Wolves (6-6 ATS, 5-0 ATS L/5) - Since dropping a tough one at home to Murray State 61-54 (+1.5), Coach Brady's kids have gone on to cover each of their L/5 tilts (4-1 SU) to move to 10-5 SU on the year. Their current four-game win streak doesn't look to be in jeopardy any time soon with games set to go this week against Florida International (2-3 SU & ATS L/5; 5-0 SU & 3-2 ATS L/5 as hosts) at home and Louisiana Lafayette on the road (3-2 SU & ATS L/5 overall; 0-5 SU & 2-3 ATS L/5 visits) provided it can take care of business in the Cajundome.

Money-Burners

Stanford Cardinal (4-8-1 ATS, 0-5 ATS L/5) - The Cardinal haven't covered a game since the middle of December. Since then, they coughed up late game covers/wins against Northwestern and USC, and now have a pair of Pac-12 defeats to start conference play after falling to both the Trojans and Bruins over the weekend. However, after playing on the road for four of their L/5, each of their next three come at home versus Washington State (4-1 SU & 3-2 ATS L/5 as hosts), Washington (3-2 SU & 1-4 ATS L/5 as hosts), and California (4-1 SU & 3-2 ATS L/5 as hosts). Tread with caution, as things could be looking up for this group of underachievers.

West Virginia Mountaineers (2-8-1 ATS, 0-5 ATS L/5) - Things look to be down in a big time way for "Huggy Bear" in Morgantown with the Mountaineers cashing at a bankroll depleting 18 percent clip. Now granted, the schedule has been stiff, but when taking a gander at this squad's offensive stats, they're beyond bad. The team is shooting 39.9% from the field (#300) as well as 28.7% from beyond the arc; has Kevin Pittsnogle run out of eligibility? The Mounty's don't stand a chance in the high flying Big 12 if these woeful shooting percentages continue. Thankfully it runs up against the offensively challenged Texas Longhorns and Kansas State Wildcats this week, but I still don't think they win let alone cover either clash.

Virginia Tech Hokies (5-5-1 ATS, 0-5 ATS L/5) - The first go round of the James Johnson regime has not gone as planned leaving many in Blacksburg clamoring for what the underachieving Greenberg regime used to bring to the table. The Hokies have had an average of 93.0 PPG dropped on them in their L/3 games against Colorado State, BYU, and Maryland, and it now must run up against the up and coming Boston College Eagles (1-4 SU & ATS L/5) at home before hitting the road to take on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (4-1 SU & 3-2 ATS L/5) this week.

Summit League Update

January 9, 2013

Following is a quick update on an intriguing mid-major loop, the Summit League, whose games are listed on the "added" portion of the big boards at Las Vegas sports books. Straight-up and Against the Spread records are thru January 7.

WESTERN ILLINOIS (SUR 12-3, ATS 9-3)...Rugged and functional Leathernecks are hellbent to make Big Dance after losing in double OT vs. South Dakota State in last year's Summit Tourney finale. Coach Jim Molinari is familiar to many from a previous stint at Bradley and has fashioned a hard-nosed squad that wins mostly with defense, allowing only 51.1 ppg, third lowest in the nation. Well-balanced, senior-laden lineup features solid inside-outside threats with C Terrell Parks (13.1 ppg) and F Adam Link (10.2 ppg) doing most of their damage around the bucket while no-nonsense 6th-year sr. G Ceola Clark III (13 ppg; also last year's Summit Defensive MVP)) pulls the strings from the perimeter. Survived tough early-season six-game road trip with only two losses and recently covered six spread decisions in a row. Also making a fortress out of Western Hall in Macomb, where WIU is undefeated SU in eight tries thru Jan. 8.

SOUTH DAKOTA STATE (SUR 11-6, ATS 6-7)...The most recognizable current brand in the Summit after its Big Dance appearance last season and scare that the "Hoosier-like" Jackrabbits it put into Baylor in the sub-regional at Albuquerque. Four starters returned from last year's accomplished side including star G Nate Wolters (21 ppg) and smooth-shooting F Jordan Dykstra (47% triples). Lost in the final seconds at Alabama and won at New Mexico (following an arduous 21-hour bus trip for HC Scott Nagy's side from Nashville and a game vs. Belmont). Everyone in lineup save F Tony Fiegen will shoot the 3-ball. Potential sleeper to watch in March. Note "unders" in 7 of last 8 "totals" thru Jan. 9.

NORTH DAKOTA STATE (SUR 13-3, ATS 11-3)...Legit contender with four starters back from last year's 17-win team and already owning a victory over South Dakota State at Fargo. Deep junior-oriented class that was attracted to NDSU after its 2009 team made it to the Big Dance and put a scare into Kansas. The Bison have their best team since, thanks to arguably the Summit's best frontcourt paced by matchup headache 6'7 F Taylor Braun (15 ppg) and bullish 6'8, 240-lb. Marshall Bjorklund (13 ppg), while spindly 6'7 jr. TrayVonn Wright exudes athleticism. Not terribly embarrassed in pre-Summit road trips to highly-ranked Big Ten foes Indiana and Minnesota. Pace conscious, and "under" 7-1 last eight "totals" on board thru Jan. 9.

OAKLAND (SUR 7-10, ATS 5-9)...The Golden Grizzlies have made noise in recent years for HC Greg Kampe, but this year's edition does not seem a vintage one, as Oakland has struggled to replace last year's national scoring leader Reggie Hamilton. Providence transfer G Duke Mondy has added some firepower, but his efforts have been inconsistent, with rail-thin 6'5 G Travis Bader (19.2 ppg) now the main go-to threat. Oakland has a puncher's chance most nights, but not much size beyond 6-10 C Corey Petros, with defense often shaky, and bench depth lacking.

SOUTH DAKOTA (SUR 7-10, ATS 7-8)...Veteran HC Dave Boots had to replace four starters from last year's 10-18 side (which was in the final year of reclassification after Coyotes stepped up from lower ranks) but seems to have done a decent job reloading on the fly thanks to a slew of transfers and a new backcourt featuring Kansas State transfer G Juevol Myles (15.2 ppg) and juco Karim Rowson (10.2 ppg). Remember that Boots had never experienced a losing campaign at Vermillion in 23 years before last season, and that the Coyotes scored a stunner over rival SDSU last Saturday in the Dakota Dome, where USD also barely lost 73-71 vs. Western Illinois in late November.

IUPU-FORT WAYNE (SUR 6-9, ATS 6-4)...The Mastadons have one of the league's best players in high-scoring G Frank Gaines (19.3 ppg) but often struggle to score when opponents can scheme Gaines out of the offensive flow. But a decent collection of athletes works hard on defensive end for 2nd-year HC Tony Jasick, allowing the Mastadons to hang inside of a few hefty poitnspreads (including a 3-0 mark as DD road dog with covers at Valpo, Drake, and Notre Dame).

IUPUI (SUR 6-13, ATS 5-11)...The Jaguars took their lumps in a rugged pre-league slate (games at Michigan, Valpo, Maryland, and just north of downtown Indy, at Butler) but have made a mild recovery with four covers in their last five games. All of this without leading returning scorer and key G Ian Chiles (10.2 ppg), who has been nursing a toe injury since mid-December, although Purdue sr. transfer G John Hart (14.2 ppg) has been a very welcome addition. And 6'9, 248-lb. Jr. C Mitchell Patton (13.1 ppg) is one of the few post scoring threats in the Summit. Almost upset WIU on the road last week and will now start to play more home games in our favorite-named home venue in the country, The Jungle, a 1215-seat bandbox that has been known to unnerve foes.

UM-KANSAS CITY (SUR 4-12, ATS 7-8)...The Kangaroos have been hopping in the wrong direction this season, failing to adequately replace graduated leading scorer Reggie Chamberlain, though juco transfer Nelson Kirksey (53% from floor) has had his moments at shooting guard. Simply not enough offense, and current 8-game SU losing streak thru Jan. 8 has Summit sources believing 6th-year HC Matt Brown could be in trouble.

NEBRASKA-OMAHA (SUR 4-14, ATS 6-7)...The Mavericks, better known to old-time AFL fans as the alma mater of one-time Denver Broncos QB (and Bills and Dolphins WR) Marlin Briscoe, are transitioning to Division I and ineligible for the Summit Tourney. Brutal road-heavy non-league slate featured trips to Texas Tech, Tulane, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Iowa State, among other venues. Not much defense but Mavs can score some points in their uptempo mode thanks to juco G Justin Simmons (14.6 ppg, but 23 ppg in last three Summit games thru Jan. 10). Just beat UMKC in late December for first win over Summit foes, but defense makes it unlikely the Mavs can pull many upsets this season.

This week’s schedule is jam-packed with a number of crucial matchups featuring some of the top teams in the country including Duke, Michigan and Arizona which all remained perfect on the year with another victory this past weekend.

The following is a brief look at the top matchup for each day of this week along with a few facts and figures to help handicap the games.

Wednesday, Jan. 9

Nebraska Cornhuskers vs. No. 2 Michigan Wolverines

The Cornhuskers have lost back-to-back games to Ohio State and Wisconsin to stumble out to a 0-2 start in Big Ten play. They are now 9-6 SU on the year and 6-7 ATS.

Washington visits California on Wednesday night

WASHINGTON HUSKIES (9-5)

at CALIFORNIA GOLDEN BEARS (9-5)

Haas Pavilion – Berkeley, CA
Tip-off: Wednesday, 11:00 p.m. ET
Line: California -6.5, Total: 143.5

In the hopes of avoiding a 1-2 start in the Pac-12, California will host Washington on Wednesday night.

For better or for worse, this year’s Golden Bears squad is a one-man show. Allen Crabbe (21.4 PPG) does nearly everything for the offense, as he and Justin Cobbs (15.6 PPG) play nearly every minute of every game. The Huskies provide a more balanced attack with four double-digit scorers, but don’t have the same dominant scorer.

Can the Bears win comfortably over their Pac-12 foe on Wednesday night? For the answer, connect to College Basketball Best Bets for all the Expert picks throughout the entire 2012-13 season. The ******* experts are a collective 52.1% ATS (200-184-8) in college basketball Best Bets for the season, led by ******* Gary, who sits at 59.3% ATS (48-33) for the season, while Dave is at 53.3% ATS (73-64-3) on the year. ******* Scott is an even 50% ATS after going 2-0 ATS since Monday.

With 18.4 PPG, C.J. Wilcox paces the Washington attack and is a workhorse, playing a tasking 35.2 MPG. At 6-foot-5, Wilcox has good size for a guard and is making 2.6 threes per game this year, making him difficult to guard. Scott Suggs (13.5 PPG, 43% 3-pt FG) joins him in the backcourt and is also tall for the position at 6-foot-6. Abdul Gaddy (12.6 PPG, 3.8 APG) runs the offense for the Huskies and needs to take care of the ball better, turning it over 3.4 times per game. The most unheralded weapon for Washington though, may be 7-foot senior center Aziz N’Diaye (11.1 PPG, 9.2 RPG) who is making 62.6% FG and has the potential to be a defensive beast.

Crabbe’s scoring has seen a major uptick this season, jumping 6.2 PPG even though he is making 0.7 fewer three-pointers per game. He has scored at least 20 points in four consecutive games and is coming off a 27-point performance in which he hit 9-of-12 FG in a win at USC. Cobbs hasn’t been as hot lately and is averaging just 11.0 PPG so far in conference play, hitting 8-of-25 (32%) field goals thus far. Beyond these two backcourt dynamos, the Golden Bears rank 30th in the nation in rebounding (40.2 RPG), led by F David Kravish (7.3 PPG, 7.8 RPG) and C Richard Solomon (8.6 PPG, 6.4 RPG).

No. 3 Louisville visits Seton Hall Wednesday

LOUISVILLE CARDINALS (13-1)

at SETON HALL PIRATES (12-3)

Tip-off: Wednesday, 7:00 p.m. ET
Line: Louisville -11, Total: 138

No. 3 Louisville looks for its ninth straight win when it visits a strong Seton Hall squad on Wednesday night.

The Cardinals' only loss this season was on a neutral court to No. 1 Duke, but they will likely be without starting PF Chane Behanan (11.4 PPG, 7.1 RPG), who is out 1-to-2 weeks with a high ankle sprain. Seton Hall is 8-0 SU at home, and has lost just two regulation games all season, falling at LSU and at No. 17 Notre Dame. But the Pirates are now carrying just seven healthy scholarship players, something that could be a big factor against a deep Louisville team. The Cardinals have won each of the past three meetings, prevailing by 19, 9 and 6 points over Seton Hall.

Can Louisville cover the big road spread at Seton Hall? For the answer, connect to College Basketball Best Bets for all the Expert picks throughout the entire 2012-13 season. The ******* experts are a collective 52.1% ATS (200-184-8) in college basketball Best Bets for the season, led by ******* Gary, who sits at 59.3% ATS (48-33) for the season, while Dave is at 53.3% ATS (73-64-3) on the year. ******* Scott is an even 50% ATS after going 2-0 ATS since Monday.

Louisville averages 78.4 PPG (31st in nation) and makes 46.2% of its shots (55th in D-I). The Cardinals have scored at least 78 points in each of the past seven contests. But this is also a stellar defensive team, giving up just 57.5 PPG on 40.2% FG this season. Nine players average at least 14 MPG, led by PG Peyton Siva's 29.4 MPG. Siva scores 11.9 PPG, shoots a team-high 37.3% threes, and produces 6.0 APG and a 2.21 Ast/TO ratio. He is also quick on the defensive end with 2.1 SPG. Siva had 14 points and six steals in the last meeting with Seton Hall, a 61-55 win in last year's Big East Tournament. The team's top scorer is SG Russ Smith (20.0 PPG) who has at least 13 points in every game this season, and 20+ points in each of the past three contests. Smith also leads Louisville with 2.6 SPG, which ranks 13th in the nation. C Gorgui Dieng (8.3 PPG, 8.3 RPG) has been slowed by injuries this year, but he certainly looked healthy in Wednesday's win over Providence with 11 points (5-of-6 FG), 11 rebounds and four blocks. In the two meetings with Seton Hall last year, Dieng averaged 8.5 PPG, 12.0 RPG and 5.5 BPG. Another player coming on strong is freshman F Montrezl Harrell, who has 8.3 PPG and 4.5 RPG in just 21.5 MPG in the past four games. He should see plenty of action on Wednesday night as the likely replacement for Behanan in the starting lineup.

Seton Hall will try to hang in this game with long-range shooting, as the team has made 9+ three-pointers in each of the past six contests, and leads the conference in made three-pointers (133) and ranks second at 38.2% 3-pt FG. The team is usually carried by versatile swingman Fuquan Edwin who leads the team with 17.9 PPG, making 52% FG and 50% of his threes (32-of-64). He also has 3.5 SPG (T-19th in D-I), but like most of his teammates, he struggled against Louisville last season with just 9.5 PPG on 7-of-20 FG and 1-of-6 threes. F Eugene Teague (12.9 PPG) provides the muscle down low with 8.5 RPG, but his FG Pct. (57%) is nearly equal to his poor FT Pct. (58%). PG Aaron Cosby (12.7 PPG, 41% 3-pt FG), a Louisville native, hasn't always taken great care of the basketball this year (39 Ast, 33 TO), but he was outstanding in South Bend on Saturday with 21 points, seven assists and zero turnovers in 36 minutes of action. Cosby was 9-for-16 from three-point land on the just-completed road trip to start 2013. Six-foot-9 F Brandon Mobley (9.5 PPG, 6.6 RPG) is a big body in the paint, pulling down 10 rebounds in back-to-back games before being limited to 20 minutes at Notre Dame due to foul trouble. With the lack of healthy scholarship players on this roster, he can't afford to get into foul trouble on Wednesday.
