    Big East tournament: Round 2 betting preview
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Cincinnati Bearcats vs. Providence Friars (+3, 123)

    Cincinnati used a runner-up finish in the Big East tournament last season as a springboard to a run to the regional semifinals in the NCAA Tournament. One year later, the ninth-seeded Bearcats may need another strong showing in the conference tournament at Madison Square Garden, starting Wednesday in a second-round matchup against No. 8 seed Providence, to rest easy on “Selection Sunday." Cincinnati began the season 12-0 and rolled to a 6-3 start in conference play, but a lackluster offensive effort caused the team to drop six of its final nine games.

    The first of the Bearcats’ six setbacks during their second-half fade came Feb. 6 at Providence, which reversed a 2-7 start in Big East play to finish at .500 in the conference. The Friars, who played 15 games decided by fewer than six points, went 4-1 in such games during their strong close to the season. The winner of this game plays Georgetown in the quarterfinals.

    TRENDS:

    * Over is 5-2 in the last seven meetings.
    * Bearcats are 2-5 ATS in the last seven meetings.
    * Friars are 7-20 ATS in their last 27 neutral-site games.



    Seton Hall Pirates vs. Syracuse Orange (-12, 127)

    Although No. 20 Syracuse and Seton Hall remain alive in the Big East tournament, both teams are coming off forgettable performances entering Wednesday’s second-round matchup in the Big East tournament at Madison Square Garden. The fifth-seeded Orange held the top spot in the conference for much of the season, but an anemic offense down the stretch led to a 1-4 spell, culminating in Saturday’s 61-39 loss at Georgetown – the fewest points scored by a Jim Boeheim-coached team in his 37-year tenure at the school.

    The 12th-seeded Pirates are dealing with their own offensive woes, but overcame an eight-point deficit late in regulation Tuesday to edge South Florida 46-42 in overtime in a first-round game. The game was the second-lowest scoring result in tournament history while the win was only Seton Hall’s second since defeating the Bulls on Jan. 23 – a stretch during which it has scored 55 or fewer points seven times. The winner of this contest will play No. 19 Pittsburgh – the fourth-seed – in the quarterfinals.

    TRENDS:

    * Favorite is 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings.
    * Pirates are 3-11 ATS in the last 14 meetings.
    * Orange are 2-7 ATS in their last nine neutral-site games.



    St. John's Red Storm vs. Villanova Wildcats (-4.5, 126)

    Teams headed in opposite directions meet in the second round of the Big East tournament at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday when seventh-seeded Villanova plays No. 10 seed St. John’s. The Wildcats’ NCAA Tournament hopes appeared to be fading in mid-February, but a 4-2 finish – including a home victory over top-seeded Georgetown that halted the Hoyas' 11-game win streak – likely solidified their tournament resume. They collected three victories over top-five opponents during the Big East schedule.

    The Red Storm have lost four straight since coach Steve Lavin suspended leading scorer D’Angelo Harrison for unspecified reasons and six of seven overall. While five of those six losses have been to ranked foes, St. John’s is averaging 53.3 points and shooting 35.5 percent – including 10.9 percent from beyond the arc – in Harrison’s absence. The winner of this contest plays Louisville in the quarterfinals.

    TRENDS:

    * Over is 5-0 in the last five meetings.
    * Favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings.
    * Red Storm are 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings.



    Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish (-8, 128)

    Notre Dame triggered the first of two long losing streaks for Rutgers with a narrow victory in their only meeting back in January. Another such win Wednesday in the second round of the Big East tournament at Madison Square Garden by the Fighting Irish will give them a win in their first game of the tournament in five consecutive years. Notre Dame will begin its final tournament run Wednesday after receiving approval from the Big East to move to the ACC in most sports beginning next season.

    But before the sixth-seeded Irish can even think about advancing to the semifinals of the Big East tournament for the fourth straight year, they’ll need to get through the 11th-seeded Scarlet Knights, who nearly defeated them at home on Jan. 19. The loss to Notre Dame began a 1-11 stretch before Rutgers secured victories at Seton Hall to conclude the regular season and against DePaul to open the conference tournament. The winner of this contest will meet No. 13 Marquette – the third-seed – in the quarterfinals.

    TRENDS:

    * Scarlet Knights are 13-3 ATS in the last 16 meetings.
    * Under is 6-2 in the last eight meetings.
    * Underdog is 11-5 ATS in the last 16 meetings.

      SEC tournament: Round 1 betting preview
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      South Carolina Gamecocks vs. Mississippi State Bulldogs (+5, 133)

      South Carolina closed the regular season by losing four of its final five games. The good news for the Gamecocks is the only team they beat in that stretch is first up in the SEC tournament opener Wednesday as Mississippi State and the Gamecocks begin the tournament. South Carolina enters the tournament as the 12 seed. The Gamecocks defeated the Bulldogs 79-72 in Columbia on March 6, one of two victories for South Carolina in its final 12 games. Mississippi State, the 13 seed, lost 13 in a row at one point this season but ended the regular season with two victories in its final three games. Tennessee awaits the winner in Thursday’s second round.

      TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, SEC Network (WMDN, Meridian; WKTC, Columbia), ESPN3.

      ABOUT MISSISSIPPI STATE (9-21, 4-14 SEC, 11-16-0 ATS): First-year coach Rick Ray has juggled his lineup constantly as four players have been lost for the season due to injuries. The Bulldogs start three freshmen and one sophomore. Freshman guard Craig Sword won SEC freshman of the week for the second time last week, averaging 19.5 points and hitting the game-winning free throws against Auburn. Junior forward Colin Borchert recorded his first career double-double (20 points, 13 rebounds).

      ABOUT SOUTH CAROLINA (14-17, 4-14 SEC, 11-15-0 ATS): Junior guard Brenton Williams set a school record for scoring in a SEC game during last week’s victory over the Bulldogs, posting a career-high 38 points on 10-for-17 shooting. Freshman forward Michael Carrera has scored nine points in his past two games, after reaching double figures in six of his previous 10 contests. Carrera did record 13 rebounds in Saturday’s loss to Vanderbilt.

      TRENDS:

      * Under is 7-2-1 in the last 10 meetings.
      * Underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.
      * Gamecocks are 0-5 ATS in their last five vs. Southeastern.
      * Bulldogs are 0-4 ATS in their last four neutral site games.

      TIP-INS:

      1. South Carolina ranks next-to-last in the SEC in average points allowed (68.9), one point ahead of the Bulldogs (69.9).

      2. The Gamecocks’ victory over Mississippi State ended a seven-game losing streak to the Bulldogs.

      3. The Bulldogs are the first team since Georgia in 2004-05 to finish with fewer than 10 SEC victories.



      Texas A&M Aggies vs. Auburn Tigers (+5, 124)

      Texas A&M enters its first SEC tournament hoping to ride a scoring star to a few victories, starting with a first-round matchup with Auburn. Elston Turner leads the Aggies in scoring, averaging 17.7 points, and has shown a penchant for getting hot and leading the team with his scoring ability., though he sat out A&M's last game with a hand injury. The Aggies, the No. 11 seed, are hoping Turner can play against the Tigers. Auburn is just looking to get a win to extend its season, as the 14th-seeded Tigers have lost nine straight heading into this one. The Aggies won the previous meeting between the teams this year, with Turner leading the way with 21 points.

      TV: 10 p.m. ET., ESPN3

      ABOUT TEXAS A&M (17-14, 7-11 SEC, 12-12-0 ATS): The Aggies are hoping to advance, then have another shot at Missouri in the second round since they topped the Tigers in early February. Turner gives them a shot at that, especially the way he's playing lately — he's averaged 24.9 points over his last seven outings while shooting 50 percent from the field and 41.2 percent from 3-point range. Fabyon Harris is another key for the Aggies, with his 43.9 percent shooting from 3-point range, which helps draw some defensive attention away from Turner. Freshman point guard Alex Caruso had his best game of the season against Auburn, setting career highs in points (14) and assists (eight). The inside duo of Kourtney Roberson (6.6 rpg) and Ray Turner (9.4 ppg, 6.5 rpg) will need to play well against the bigger front line of the Tigers.

      ABOUT AUBURN (9-22, 3-15, 12-17-0 ATS): Coach Tony Barbee says he's not concerned about his job security, but with 15 losses in their last 16 games — the worst single-season stretch in program history — the Tigers haven't exactly made things easy for the third-year coach. Would a win in the SEC tournament help Barbee's case to keep his job? Maybe not, but it certainly wouldn't hurt. If Auburn is going to pull an upset, it's going to need a big game from senior Frankie Sullivan, who leads the team with a 14.4-ppg average. Also needing to play big — figuratively and literally — is fellow senior Rob Chubb (9.0 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 1.1 bpg). Chubb will have a size advantage with his 6-10, 250-pound frame against the Aggies' front line. Defense must be a focus for the Tigers, who have given up 71.6 points a game in SEC play.

      TRENDS:

      * Aggies are 1-4 ATS in their last five vs. Southeastern.
      * Aggies are 0-4 ATS in their last four neutral-site games.
      * Over is 6-2 in Tigers last 8 overall.
      * Tigers are 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 neutral-site games.

      TIP INS:

      1. Turner is 26 points away from becoming the 33rd player in Texas A&M history to reach the 1,000-point plateau with the Aggies. Turner's totals of his time with Washington and Texas A&M already put him over 1,000 points for his collegiate career.

      2. The Aggies are 22-35 all-time in conference tournaments, going 16-19 in Southwest Conference tournament games and 6-16 in Big 12 tournament games.

      3. The Tigers are 0-2 in the SEC tournament under Barbee, losing to Georgia in 2011 and to Mississippi in 2012.

        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Texas Tech Red Raiders vs. West Virginia Mountaineers (-8, 136)

        Texas Tech looks to beat West Virginia for the first time in school history when the ninth-seeded Red Raiders play the eighth-seeded Mountaineers on Wednesday night in the opening game of the Big 12 tournament in Kansas City, Mo. Texas Tech lost the previous three meetings, including 66-64 on Feb. 16 in Morgantown and 77-61 on Feb. 2 in Lubbock. The Red Raiders have a two-game losing streak and are coming off a 71-69 overtime loss at home to Texas on Saturday. The winner will face top-seeded Kansas in the quarterfinals Thursday.

        West Virginia, which is playing its first season in the Big 12 after 17 seasons in the Big East, has a six-game losing streak. The Mountaineers are coming off an 83-74 loss at home to Iowa State on Saturday. Coach Bob Huggins, who is in his sixth season at West Virginia, guided the Mountaineers to the NCAA Tournament in each of his previous five seasons.

        TV: 7 p.m. ET, Big 12 Network/ESPN3

        ABOUT TEXAS TECH (10-19, 9-13-0 ATS): The Red Raiders, who finished ninth in the Big 12 with a 3-15 conference record, are 12-16 all-time in the Big 12 tournament. They are 7-7 in the first round and reached the finals in 2005. Redshirt junior forward Jaye Crockett on Sunday was selected All-Big 12 honorable mention by the league’s coaches, becoming the first Red Raider to earn postseason honors from the conference since 2010. Crockett, who came off the bench in 25 of 29 games, leads the team in scoring (11.9) and rebounding (6.8). Sophomore forward Jordan Tolbert is the only Red Raider to average double-digit scoring (10.4) in conference play. Freshman guard Josh Gray, who has seven games with five or more assists, ranks third among Big 12 freshmen in assists (92), second in steals (57) and seventh in scoring (9.6).

        ABOUT WEST VIRGINIA (13-18, 9-18-2 ATS): The Mountaineers finished eighth in the Big 12 with a 13-18 conference record. This is Huggins’ first losing season in league competition since his first Akron team produced a 6-10 record in Mid-American Conference play in 1985. Huggins is 38-14 in conference tournaments, including 10 championships in four different leagues. With 723 career wins, Huggins needs one to tie Ray Meyer for 18th place on the NCAA Division I all-time winningest coaches list. Freshman guard Eron Harris, who leads West Virginia in scoring (9.9), is averaging 17.5 points in his last four games, including two games with 23 points or more. Harris and senior forward Deniz Kilicli, who is second on the team in scoring (8.8) and first in rebounding (4.4), received Big 12 honorable mention.

        TRENDS:

        * Red Raiders are 8-17 ATS in their last 25 vs. Big 12.
        * Mountaineers are 0-5 ATS in their last five vs. Big 12.
        * Over is 13-5-1 in Mountaineers' last 19 neutral site games.
        * Under is 7-3 in Red Raiders' last 10 neutral site games.

        TIP-INS:

        1. West Virginia has won 67 of its last 83 games when holding opponents to 69 points or less.

        2. Harris could become the second freshman to lead the Mountaineers in single-season scoring since Warren Baker (16.6) in 1972-73.

        3. Crockett’s 6.8 rebounds are Texas Tech’s highest single-season rebounding average since Andy Ellis (7) in 2002.



        TCU Horned Frogs vs. Texas Longhorns (-11, 121)

        Texas coach Rick Barnes looks to continue his dominance of in-state foes as his No. 7 seed Longhorns meet 10th-seeded TCU as the Big 12 Tournament tips off at Kansas City on Wednesday. Barnes' teams are 129-18 against state opponents including a 3-0 mark against TCU.

        The Horned Frogs snapped an eight-game losing streak last time out beating Oklahoma in their regular-season finale. TCU was swept by the Longhorns during the season losing by 17 points on the road and nine points at home. The winner of the game will face second-seed Kansas State on Thursday.

        TV: 9:30 p.m. ET, Big 12 Network

        ABOUT TEXAS (15-16, 8-18-0 ATS): The Longhorns have won six straight and 10 of the last 11 meetings against the Horned Frogs. Texas is 5-1 all-time in games played at neutral sites. Overall the Longhorns have won five of their last eight games since Myck Kabongo has returned to lineup. In those games, Kabongo leads the team in scoring (15.8), rebounds (5.3), assists (5.3), steals (15) and minutes played (37.8 mpg). Texas has reached the conference finals six times, including five times in the last nine years most recently in 2011. The Longhorns were 7-11 in conference play.

        ABOUT TCU (11-20, 15-13-1 ATS): The Horned Frogs wrapped up a dismal conference season with a three-point win over Oklahoma on Saturday. The game prior they also put a scare into Kansas State before falling 79-68. This is TCU's first appearance in the Big 12 tournament after going 2-16 in conference play on the season. Sophomore guard Kyan Anderson enters the tourney riding a hot streak. Anderson has scored in double figures in nine straight games and ranks among the conference leaders in steals, assists, and scoring at 12.1 points.

        TRENDS:

        * Horned Frogs are 9-24 ATS in their last 33 vs. Big 12.
        * Longhorns are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 neutral site games.
        * Over is 6-1-1 in Horned Frogs last eight vs. Big 12.
        * Over is 6-0 in Longhorns last six vs. Big 12.

        TIP-INS:

        1. Barnes' teams are 19-14 in Big 12 tournament play.

        2. Texas' Sheldon McClellan scored a career-high 27 points in Saturday's win at Texas Tech.

        3. TCU ranks third in the Big 12 in scoring defense, 56th in the nation at 62.3 points.

          Pac-12 tournament: Round 1 betting preview
          ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          Stanford Cardinal vs. Arizona State Sun Devils (+3.5, 136)

          Stanford will try for its sixth consecutive victory against Arizona State when the teams meet Wednesday in the first round of the Pac-12 tournament in Las Vegas. The Cardinal were picked by the media to finish fourth in the conference, but got off to a slow start before finishing tied for sixth with Arizona State at 9-9. The Sun Devils, picked to finish 11th, benefited from the strong play of freshman point guard Jahii Carson, who shared Pac-12 Freshman of the Year honors UCLA's Shabazz Muhammad.

          The Cardinal won the Feb. 9 meeting in Tempe, Ariz., shooting 10-for-18 from beyond the 3-point line in the 62-59 victory. Stanford sophomore guard Chasson Randle was held to three points in that game but hasn’t scored less than 12 in the seven games since. He has made four 3-pointers in each of the last three games, a first in his career.

          TRENDS:

          * Cardinal are 6-0 ATS in the last 6 meetings.
          * Cardinal are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games.
          * Sun Devils are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 neutral site games.



          Colorado Buffaloes vs. Oregon State Beavers (+5.5, 134.5)

          Four days after Oregon State posted its first-ever victory at Colorado, the teams will meet again Wednesday in the opening round of the Pac-12 tournament in Las Vegas. The 12th-seeded Beavers looked dangerous after finishing 10-2 in non-conference play but dropped 14 of their final 18 games to finish tied for last with Washington State. Colorado, the defending tournament champion, also had 10 wins heading into Pac-12 action but the fifth-seeded Buffaloes lost four of their next five and ended up finishing fifth.

          The Buffaloes could be without junior forward Andre Roberson, the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year who averages a conference-leading 11.5 rebounds and 2.3 steals. Roberson missed the last two games with mononucleosis. He’s expected to travel with the team to Las Vegas but his availability for the tournament opener appears in doubt after he missed practice Monday. Oregon State forwards Joe Burton and Eric Moreland both reached double digits in points and rebounds in Roberson’s absence last weekend.

          TRENDS:

          * Under is 4-1 in the last five meetings.
          * Favorite is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings.
          * Buffaloes are 7-1 ATS in their last eight neutral-site games.



          USC Trojans vs. Utah Utes (+2, 126)

          USC and Utah enter their Pac-12 tournament first-round matchup Wednesday night in Las Vegas heading in opposite directions. The 10th-seeded Utes swept Oregon and Oregon State to close out the regular season last week and the double-digit victories allowed them to escape last place. The No. 7 seed Trojans were swept at Washington and Washington State to finish the season, then learned Monday that leading rebounder Dewayne Dedmon would be suspended for at least the tournament opener for violating team rules.

          Utah senior guard Jarred DuBois has played well against USC, even during his days at Loyola Marymount. The L.A. native scored a season-high 17 points against the Trojans as a sophomore at LMU in 2009-10 and scored 18 earlier this season in a 76-59 loss to USC in their only meeting. DuBois will likely be matched against one of USC’s top scorers, Wake Forest transfer J.T. Terrell, who has reached double digits in 10 straight games.

          TRENDS:

          * Trojans are 16-35-3 ATS in their last 54 games overall.
          * Utes are 25-10-1 ATS in their last 36 games overall.
          * Under is 7-1 in Utes last eight neutral-site games.



          Washington State Cougars vs. Washington Huskies (-2, 127)

          Washington will try to continue its success at the Pac-12 tournament when the sixth-seeded Huskies play No. 11 Washington State in a first-round game Wednesday in Las Vegas. Washington has the second-best record in tournament history (16-11) behind Arizona. The Huskies became the second No. 6 seed in four years to win the title last season. The Cougars are 5-13 all time at the tournament, including 1-1 against Washington.

          Washington State played its in-state rival close this season, losing by five points at home on Jan. 5 and by four in Seattle on March 3. The Cougars closed out the season with wins against UCLA and USC. The Huskies have won five straight overall against Washington State and nine of the last 11. The Cougars had fourth-leading scorer DaVonte Lacy when they played Washington this season. He has since been lost to season-ending knee surgery.

          TRENDS:

          * Underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings.
          * Cougars are 2-7 ATS in their last nine neutral-site games.
          * Over is 5-1 in Huskies' last six neutral site games.

                • Duke and Indiana look to finish

                  Are Duke And Indiana The Best Bets In Championship Week Futures?

                  The ACC and Big Ten Conferences have been mainstays when providing college basketball with top contenders for the national title. This year, there have been multiple threats in each league trying to lay claim as the best of the best. Are Duke and Indiana really the frontrunners they deserve to be? If not, which teams deserve your investment?

                  ACC TOURNAMENT ODDS

                  Eventually, you need to figure out who the alpha in a group is and no conference exemplifies that fact better than the ACC. Is it the conference title winning Miami Hurricanes? Are the perennial champion Duke Blue Devils the team to beat as always? Can the NC State Wolfpack finally come through on all the promises their initial potential created?

                  The ACC Tournament will be the warzone that provides the answers to all the questions we’ve had about this conference through a bizarre 2012-13 college basketball season.

                  Let’s start with the top seeded Miami Hurricanes at +300 who came out of nowhere to become one of the best teams in the country. There was a lot of talk about the North Carolina schools during preseason, with some mention of Miami, but nobody saw this coming. Led by Shane Larkin, the Canes went 24-6 SU overall and 15-3 SU in-conference to win the ACC regular season title. They were also a blistering 17-9-1 ATS on the betting line which endeared them to gambling circles around the country.

                  People are loading up on the 3-to-1 odds presented by Miami because they present the best value in terms of actual potential and return on investment. It’s also promising that they went 4-1 SU and 5-0 ATS against the top competition in the ACC, barely losing to Duke by just three points after crushing them in their first meeting.

                  Which actually brings us to the Duke Blue Devils, who have been surging since the return of Ryan Kelly from injury. Duke holds even odds to win the ACC and has arguably the easiest path to the get to the finals as well. Defending champion FSU and UNC will squabble over who gets to face Duke in the semis, and neither team presents a serious challenge to the Blue Devils. It would be shocking if Duke wasn’t in the tournament finals considering the teams supposedly standing in their path.

                  An intriguing play on UNC at +500 could warrant some action, but this is a thin ice bet at best. James McAdoo hasn’t really taken steps forwards or backwards, and hasn’t proven that he can take over important games when it matters. It doesn’t help that he gets smothered by the elite bigs in the ACC including the Plumlees at Duke, Larkin of Miami and the plethora of towering talent at NC State. It’s also very discouraging that UNC went just 1-4 SU against the best of the ACC.

                  I would wipe UNC from your consideration and instead take a gander at NC State which holds +650 odds to emerge victorious at the ACC Tournament. In terms of raw talent, NC State still holds most of the cards but they haven’t really played up to their potential. A loss to FSU in the season finale pretty much sums up their season so far. It’s hard to really have faith in all that talent when it hasn’t shown up in important games.

                  The only two worthwhile bets are Duke and Miami, and my money is on the Hurricanes exacting revenge. No team has been sturdier against top end competition than Miami and though Duke has come on strong lately, I still think people are undercutting how good Miami actually is. The Blue Devils are obviously a reasonable play here, but Miami gives you a better bang for your buck and have proven they can hang with Duke already.

                  BIG TEN TOURNAMENT ODDS

                  At the beginning of the season, Indiana was rated as the best team in the country and that sentiment hasn’t really shifted with the championship tournaments on the horizon. What has changed, however, are the reasons that Indiana is favored. The Hoosiers are +140 to win the Big Ten for the first time in forever, but do they have the moxy to hold off the other contenders?

                  Cody Zeller reminded us all why he’s a nominee for the Wooden Award by pounding the Michigan Wolverines in the regular season finale. He plays with such an advanced fundamental skill set that it’s hard to believe he’s just a sophomore. While Zeller was the main reason Indiana was anointed the top ranked team in preseason odds, teammate Victor Oladipo has emerged as a major reason to back this team as a national title favorite.

                  Oladipo’s rise to prominence has been compared to – gulp – that of Michael Jordan since they were both late bloomers. I wouldn’t get swept away in those comparisons, but at this level Oladipo is an absolute stud on both ends of the floor. He averages just 13.7 points per game, but makes everyone on his team better with an endless work rate that is extremely evident when he plays defense.

                  The one-two punch of Oladipo and Zeller creates a massive mismatch for basically every team in the Big Ten. Outside of those two, Indiana has very capable spot up shooters and role players who fill their duties admirably.

                  But the Big Ten isn’t devoid of talent which is why Indiana isn’t the runaway favorite to win this conference championship outright.

                  Led by Trey Burke, the best point guard in the country by almost every measure, the Michigan Wolverines post +450 odds as one of the major threats in the tournament. Where Michigan falters as a play is that they’re wholly unreliable away from home. They barely beat Purdue in their last game on the road, and lost four straight away games prior to that. Travelling is not this team’s strong suit, but when you have one of the best show runners in town it’s hard to look past them. Michigan is definitely a decent play, but they’re not as solid as their backers would like them to be.

                  I would absolutely take any money you plan on using to back the Michigan State Spartans at +400 and use it to pay down your mortgage or buy some groceries because those are going to be sounder investments. The Spartans simply don’t have the depth or front court presence to deal with the other top teams on the board. If you bleed Spartan Green, go right ahead. Just don’t be surprised when you start to bleed another type of green after throwing money behind your beloved Michigan State hopefuls.

                  The best bet on the board outside of Indiana is actually the Ohio State Buckeyes at +350, a cagey under-the-radar pick that went on a chippy 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS streak. That included wins against Indiana, Michigan State and the pesky Minnesota Gophers. The Buckeyes haven’t received much press because they were never a real national championship contender, and this year has been filled with more storyline twists than a season of Lost.

                  The perception in the Big Ten is that Indiana is unbeatable, and I wouldn’t be so quick to judge. Indiana has been an outstanding team all season, and are worth betting on simply because they have two of the best players in the country. The outside shot belongs to Ohio State. For sheer value alone, I prefer the Buckeyes. I think there’s a lot of fuss being made about Indiana’s win over Michigan, which was very nearly a loss. These two should make an incredible Big Ten Championship finals. Just make sure you have your money on the right side when it comes to a futures investment.

                  • Big Ten Tourney Tips

                    March 13, 2013


                    **Minnesota vs. Illinois**

                    --As of Wednesday afternoon, most books had Minnesota (20-11 SU, 15-13-1 ATS) installed as a two-point favorite with a total of 127.

                    --Tubby Smith’s squad has been the nation’s most inconsistent this year, beating top-tier teams like Memphis, Indiana and Michigan St. The Gophers have 11 total wins over teams with an RPI of 84 or better. However, they have lost at Nebraska, at Purdue and at Northwestern. Furthermore, they lost by 21 at Iowa, by 26 at Ohio St., by 11 at Michigan St. and by 18 against Duke on a neutral court.

                    --Illinois (21-11 SU, 12-17 ATS) has been an underdog 14 times this year, compiling a 6-8 spread record. As for Minnesota, it owns a 4-6-1 ATS mark in 11 games as a single-digit favorite.

                    --Despite back-to-back defeats to close the regular season (63-55 at Iowa and 68-55 at Ohio St.), John Groce’s team has still won six of its last nine games. However, the Illini has failed to cover the number in five consecutive games.

                    --Illinois is No. 41 in the RPI Rankings, going 5-8 against the RPI Top 50 and 6-9 versus the RPI Top 100. I believe the Illini is ‘in’ regardless of Thursday’s outcome thanks to wins by double-digit margins at Gonzaga, vs. Ohio St. and vs. Butler on a neutral floor. They also beat Indiana at home and prevailed at Minnesota (see below).

                    --These Big Ten rivals split a pair of regular-season meetings with the road team winning each time. On Jan. 9, Minnesota went into Champaign-Urbana and emerged with an 84-67 win as a two-point road ‘chalk.’ Joe Coleman erupted for a career-high 29 points, while Andre Hollins added 22 points, eight rebounds and six assists. Brandon Paul had 21 points in the losing effort.

                    --In the rematch at The Barn in Minneapolis, Illinois rebounded to collect a 57-53 win as an 8.5-point road underdog. With 18.1 second left and the Illini leading by one, Tracy Abrams buried an audacious step-back trey to seal the deal. Tyler Griffey hit a career-high four 3-pointers en route to a 16-point effort for the winners.

                    --The ‘under’ is on a 7-2 run in the Illini’s last nine games and is 15-11 overall.

                    --The ‘under’ is on an 8-2 run in Minnesota’s last 10 games to improve to 14-10 overall.

                    --Tip-off is scheduled for noon Eastern on the Big Ten Network.

                    **Penn State vs. Michigan**

                    --As of Wednesday afternoon, most betting shops had Michigan (25-6 SU, 13-15-1 ATS) listed as a 14.5-point favorite with a total of 133. The Nittany Lions are +950 on the money line (per 5Dimes).

                    --Penn St. (10-20 SU, 14-12 ATS) has been a double-digit underdog 11 times, posting a 7-4 spread record. The Nittany Lions have covered the number in six of their last seven games.

                    --John Beilein’s team is coming off a gut-wrenching loss at home Sunday to Indiana. The Hoosiers rallied from a five-point deficit in the final minute to win by a 72-71 count as 1.5-point underdogs. Trey Burke had a team-high 20 points in the loss.

                    --Michigan is mired in an abysmal 1-9 ATS slump in its last 10 games. The Wolverines are 7-7-1 ATS in 15 games as double-digit ‘chalk.’

                    --Penn St. took the cash in both regular-season meetings against Michigan, beating the Wolverines 84-78 as a 13-point home underdog on Feb. 27. Jermaine Marshall scored a game-high 25 points, knocking down six 3-pointers on 10 attempts. Tim Hardaway Jr. had a team-high 19 points in the loss.

                    --When these schools met in Ann Arbor, Michigan won a 79-71 decision but PSU backers easily cashed tickets catching 21.5 points. Burke scored 29 points and dished out five assists without committing a turnover. Marshall had 17 points and seven boards in the losing effort.

                    --The ‘over’ is 17-12 overall for Michigan.

                    --The ‘over’ is 14-10 overall for PSU, hitting in six of its last eight games.

                    --The ‘over’ has hit in six straight Michigan-PSU games.

                    --This game will come off the board 30 minutes after the Minnesota-Illinois game concludes.

                    **Purdue vs. Nebraska**

                    --As of Wednesday afternoon, most spots had Purdue (15-16 SU, 13-16-1 ATS) listed as a 5.5-point favorite with a total of 120.5. Gamblers can take the Cornhuskers to win outright for a plus-200 return (risk $100 to win $200).

                    --Purdue won three of its last five regular-season games, compiling a 4-1 spread record in the process. The Boilermakers have been especially tough in their last three games, winning 69-56 at Wisconsin, losing 70-65 vs. Michigan and destroying Minnesota by an 89-73 count. The win over the Badgers came as 14.5-point underdogs. They took the cash in the loss to Michigan as six-point home ‘dogs.

                    --Matt Painter’s team has posted a 5-4 spread record in nine games as a single-digit favorite this season. However, we should point out that all five winners have come since the Boilers failed to cover in their first four such spots.

                    --Nebraska (14-17 SU, 15-13-1 ATS) has been an underdog 23 times this year, going 12-10-1 ATS.

                    --Before dropping a 74-60 decision at Iowa as a 13-point underdog in its regular-season finale, Nebraska posted its best win of the year by knocking off Minnesota 53-51 as an 8.5-point home underdog. Brandon Ubel led the Cornhuskers past the Gophers with 15 points, six rebounds and four assists.

                    --Since Nebraska joined the Big Ten, Purdue has won both SU and ATS in all three head-to-head meetings. The ‘over’ has cashed in all three encounters, too. The Boilers won 65-56 at Nebraska as two-point road ‘chalk’ on Jan. 16 of this year.

                    --The ‘over’ has hit in three consecutive Purdue games to improve to 16-12 overall.

                    --The ‘under’ is 12-11 overall for Nebraska.

                    --Tip-off is slated for 6:30 p.m. Eastern on ESPN2.

                    **Northwestern vs. Iowa**

                    --As of Wednesday afternoon, most books had Iowa (SU, ATS) favored by 9.5 with a total of 125. The Wildcats are +400 on the money line (risk $100 to win $400).

                    --Fran McCaffrey’s team is on the proverbial bubble and needs at least one win, probably two, to feel good about its at-large chances. Junior slasher Roy Devyn Marble is Iowa’s premier player, averaging 14.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game.

                    --Iowa beat Northwestern convincingly in a pair of regular-season meetings. The Hawkeyes captured a 70-50 road win on Jan. 13 in a pick ‘em affair. Aaron White was the catalyst with 17 points, six rebounds and four assists. In Iowa City, the Hawks won a 71-57 decision as eight-point home ‘chalk.’ Marble led the way with 21 points, five boards and five assists.

                    --Northwestern (13-18 SU, 14-14 ATS) has most likely been negatively impacted by injuries more than any team in the country this year. For starters, the Wildcats lost their star forward Drew Crawford, a four-year starter who went down with a season-ending shoulder injury in mid-December. Crawford was averaging 13.5 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. Also Jarod Swopshire, a transfer from Louisville, was lost to a knee injury in February. Swopshire was averaging 9.7 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. Finally, JerShon Cobb (7.1 PPG last year) has missed the entire season due to academics.

                    --Senior guard Reggie Hearn has been one of the few bright spots for Bill Carmody’s squad. Hearn averages team-highs in scoring (13.2 PPG), rebounding (4.4 RPG), field-goal percentage (44.2%) and steals (1.2 per game).

                    --The ‘under’ is 16-10-1 overall for Iowa, connecting in five of its last six contests.

                    --The ‘under’ is 12-11-1 overall for Northwestern.

                    --ESPN2 will have the telecast 30 minutes after the Nebraska-Purdue game ends.

                    • Miami, Duke ready for ACC tourney push

                      GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - Miami rolled through most of the Atlantic Coast Conference season and coasted to the program's first regular-season championship. The ninth-ranked Hurricanes enter this week's ACC tournament as the No. 1 seed and looking to add another crown to their trophy case.

                      To do that they're going to have to capture their first tournament title in the home state of No. 2 Duke - the second-seeded Blue Devils have won 10 of the past 14 ACC tournament titles.

                      The tournament opens Thursday in the Greensboro Coliseum, starting with eighth-seeded Boston College and ninth-seeded Georgia Tech. The top four seeds all earned byes into Friday's quarterfinals.

                      The Hurricanes (24-6, 15-3) were picked to finish fifth in the preseason, but they won their first 13 league games and reached No. 2 nationally. They stumbled late but still finished a game ahead of the second-ranked Blue Devils (27-4, 14-4) for the outright title and the tournament's top seed.

                      The Hurricanes are trying to become only the third team from outside the state of North Carolina to win the tournament in 20 years, joining Maryland in 2004 and Florida State last year.

                      Miami has reached the semifinals only once before, as a No. 12 seed after a pair of upsets before falling in a close game to top-seeded Duke here in 2010.

                      ``There has been a lot of adversity, going from last in the ACC to a team with a lot of expectations and not really living up to them, and then this season people not thinking we were as good as we turned out to be,'' senior Julian Gamble said.

                      ``We still have work to do. We're perfectionists. We want to play our absolute best basketball and we don't want to make mental mistakes, especially going into these tournaments.''

                      The Blue Devils are still working to integrate senior forward Ryan Kelly back into the lineup after he was out for two months with a foot injury.

                      Kelly returned with a career-high 36 points in a home win against Miami on March 2, and Duke is 18-0 with him this year as opposed to 9-4 without him.

                      ``We're getting the feel back, but he was out two months, so it's not going to just happen overnight,'' point guard Quinn Cook said. ``We're getting the feel back. Practices have been great just with him. We're getting back to where we were before he got hurt. We still got a long ways to go but we're just taking baby steps to where we need to be.''

                      For third-seeded North Carolina, the challenge is to prevent last weekend's ugly loss to the rival Blue Devils from lingering into this weekend.

                      The Tar Heels had won six straight with a four-guard lineup to rebuild some confidence. But Duke ran out to a 14-0 lead in Saturday's rivalry game and never looked back to drain some of UNC's momentum.

                      ``I don't think you can let one game crush you and lead to another one and another one and another one,'' UNC coach Roy Williams said. ``I think that does happen with some teams who struggle quite a bit, but we had been playing pretty well, so hopefully we'll handle it that way.''

                      Virginia is the No. 4 seed and could use a good showing in Greensboro to help bolster its NCAA tournament chances, while North Carolina State is seeded fifth entering the season as the league favorite for the first time in nearly four decades.

                      The Wolfpack started 3-0 in ACC play but played inconsistently all year and blew a chance to secure a first-round bye by losing at Florida State last weekend. N.C. State faces 12th-seeded Virginia Tech and ACC player of the year Erick Green - the nation's leading scorer at 25.4 points per game - in Thursday's first round.

                      ``It's crunch time,'' Wolfpack senior Scott Wood said, ``If we're not ready to play now, we're not working hard enough.''

                      Among the lower seeds, the reigning champion and sixth-seeded Seminoles face No. 11 seed Clemson, while seventh-seeded Maryland faces No. 10 seed Wake Forest on Thursday.

                      If the season's scores are any indication, it should be a competitive tournament.

                      For the second straight year, the ACC had 40 league matchups decided by five or fewer points, according to STATS LLC. That number is higher than any total from the previous 10 seasons.

                      ``I do think it's open,'' Maryland coach Mark Turgeon said. ``You look at the top four or five seeds, are they clearly better than the rest of us? Maybe not, but they have the talent and the upperclassmen to get it done here this weekend.''
