ACC Betting Notes

March 11, 2014


ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE

March 12-16 -- All games at Greensboro Coliseum, Greensboro, NC

PROJECTED FINAL FOUR: SYRACUSE, VIRGINIA, NORTH CAROLINA, DUKE

THE WAY WE SEE IT:

It’s not hard to argue that the ACC is to college basketball what the SEC is to college football. A conference-best .663 win percentage, and a streak of 26 straight non-losing performances in the Big Dance, confirms the notion.

Loop newcomer SYRACUSE brings its tenacious 2-3 zone and a ton of postseason experience to Greensboro. An 8-0 SU and 7-1 ATS mark versus .833 or better foes this season is certainly imposing. The feeling here is the best thing that happened to Jim Boeheim’s boys was tasting defeat after a 25-0 start.

Top seed VIRGINIA posted its most wins (23) last year since 1995, and then topped it this season, winning its first ACC title since 1981. Tony Bennett’s staple – defense – was front and center as the Cavs ranked in the nation’s Top 10 in both Defensive Field Goal Percentage (38.1) and Rebound Margin (+7.5).

After a sluggish start, NORTH CAROLINA kicked it into gear and won its final 12 games (at press time). The Heels have finished the runner up each of the last three years in this tourney. Concern is their struggle in games against upper echelon teams in this event (1-10-2 ATS versus #5 or higher seeds).

DUKE gains an automatic nod despite the fact they own a putrid 44.6 (#200) Defensive Field Goal Percentage. The Devils’ 14-1 SU and 10-5 ATS mark in games versus sub .690 opponents this season should get them to the weekend.

THE SLEEPER: PITTSBURGH

Another new kid on the block gets a call in this fabled tourney. Yes, we realize the Panthers have gone one-and-out 4 of the last 5 years in conference tourney play and are riding a 1-8-1 ATS skid at press time. But Jamie Dixon’s cats are 9-3 SU away from the Steel City and have won 20 of their last 31 games conference tourney games heading into this new venue.

KEY TOURNAMENT BEST BET: PLAY ON SYRACUSE AS A DOG

The Orange not only excel this time of the season, they rise to another level when taking points in conference tourney games, going 16-8 SU and 17-7 ATS, including 24-4 SU and 15-3 ATS when taking 6 or fewer points. You want to lay points into that? We didn’t think so.

Pac-12 Betting Notes

March 11, 2014


PAC-12 CONFERENCE

March 12-15 -- All games at the MGM Grand Arena, Las Vegas, NV

PROJECTED FINAL FOUR: ARIZONA, UCLA, OREGON, COLORADO

THE WAY WE SEE IT:

In its 12-year history, seven different teams have managed to capture this event with Oregon winning for the third time last season.

Surprisingly, ARIZONA, the clear top seed in this year’s tourney, has managed to win the title only one time – in the inaugural tournament thirteen years ago. On paper, this year’s edition looks to be the real deal as they rank in the Top 10 in both Defensive Field Goal Percentage and Rebound Margin while shooting nearly 47% from the floor. A major concern, among others, is a 1-6 SUATS record in this event versus greater than .700 opponents.

UCLA, last year’s runner-up, wobbled a bit down the stretch and was just 1-4 SUATS in games versus greater than .750 foes. New head coach Steve Alford won back-to-back MWC titles before coming to Westwood and is 19-5 ATS in conference tourneys when facing an opponent off a SUATS win.

After opening the season 13-0 before hitting a 2-8 wall, OREGON appears to have got their mojo back heading into this affair. The defending champs are 16-8 SU and 16-7-1 ATS all-time in this tourney.

COLORADO was a preseason Top 25 choice and looked like it until star PG Spencer Dinwiddie went down with an injury. He’s back and with it the Buffaloes’ prospects loom large once again. Note: the Buffs are 8-2 ATS as conference dogs of less than 4 points under Tad Boyle.

THE SLEEPER: UTAH

The Utes were the biggest moneymakers in the league this campaign (18-6 ATS as press time) and managed to pull off upsets over California and USC in their debut in this tournament last season before being booted out by eventual champion Oregon. A 13-1 SU mark in games versus sub .600 opposition this season should help kick-start a similar momentum this go-round.

KEY TOURNAMENT BEST BET: PLAY ON THE DOG IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

Living by the adage of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”, our trusty database calls out the fact that underdogs are 6-1 ATS in the last seven title games in this tourney. They were 6-0 until the Bruins spilled their guts on championship day last year. And should Arizona arrive as expected to the championship game, they should aid the cause as they are 2-5 SUATS as chalk in this tourney versus .600 or greater opponents.

EXTRA TOURNEY TRENDS & NOTES

ARIZONA: 3-0 ATS off SU loss, 6-1 ATS favs vs opp w/revenge, 0-5 ATS w/revenge, 2-8 ATS favs off BB SU wins

ARIZONA ST: 1-5 ATS vs opp off SU dog win, 1-4 ATS as favs, 3-10 SU all-time

CALIFORNIA: 6-0 ATS vs opp off SU loss, 4-1 ATS as favs off SU loss, 1-5-1 ATS vs opp off DD SU win, 2-10-1 ATS vs opp off BB SU wins

COLORADO: 9-1 ATS L10 as dogs, 6-2 ATS off SU dog win, 1-4 ATS L5 as favs, 2-5 ATS w/same-season double revenge

OREGON: 3-0 ATS vs opp off BB SU losses, 7-1 ATS vs opp off SU dog win, 0-2 ATS off DD SU loss, 0-2-1 ATS dogs off SU dog win

OREGON ST: 3-1 ATS dogs < 10 pts vs opp off SU win, 5-2 ATS L7, 1-4 ATS off SU loss vs opp off SU loss, 1-3 ATS as DD dogs

STANFORD: 2-0 ATS vs opp off SU dog win, 1-6 ATS vs opp off SU loss, 1-5 ATS off DD SU win, 3-8 ATS off SUATS win

UCLA: 3-0 ATS off DD ATS win, 3-1 ATS w/revenge, 3-1 ATS as DD favs, 1-3 ATS vs opp off SUATS win, 1-3 ATS vs #1-2 seeds

USC: 5-1 ATS dogs 12 < pts, 10-3 ATS off SU win vs opp off SUATS win, 5-2 ATS w/revenge, 0-3 ATS off SUATS loss

UTAH: 4-0 ATS off BB SU losses, 3-0 ATS as dogs vs opp off DD SU loss, 4-1 ATS as dogs 8 > pts, 1-8 ATS as favs off SUATS win

WASHINGTON: 2-0 ATS dogs vs opp off DD SU win, 0-5 ATS off SU loss, 1-4 ATS vs opp off SU loss, 1-4 ATS favs < 6 pts

WASHINGTON ST: 5-2 ATS vs opp w/revenge, 1-5 ATS off SUATS win, 1-4 ATS w/revenge, 1-4 ATS as dogs > 3 pts

TECH NOTES:

-- Dogs of < 8 pts are 10-2 ATS vs opp off BB SU wins

-- Favorites are 4-1 ATS off 3+ SU losses

-- DD favorites are 5-1 ATS off SUATS win

-- #1 seeds are 5-1 ATS vs opp off SU dog win

-- #2 seed dogs are 4-1 ATS L5

-- #3 seeds are 1-5 ATS w/revenge

-- #4 seeds are 0-4 ATS vs opp off BB SU losses

-- #10 seeds are 2-7 SUATS L9

Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

BYU 13.9
Northwestern State 13.9
Iowa State 14.9
Iowa 14.9
East Tennessee State 15.0
Maine 15.0

Delaware State 22.1
Miami 21.8

*****

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but......

13) William Clay Ford owned the Lions for 50 years; he was a veteran of WWII and the last surviving grandson of Henry Ford. RIP, sir.

Mr Ford owned the Lions for 50 years, during which time Detroit won one playoff game. One. He was very loyal, which is how Matt Millen kept his job for seven horrendous years. Loyal to a fault, some would say.

12) Cleveland Browns signed LB Karlos Dansby, S Donte Whitner, as their new regime goes about re-tooling their defense, never a bad thing.

11) 49ers traded for OT Jonathan Martin, who was in mdidle of Miami's bullying debacle last season. Martin played for Jim Harbaugh at Stanford- it is amazing to me the Dolphins got a draft pick for Martin.

10) 49ers gave Jacksonville a 6th-round pick for QB Blaine Gabbert, as they upgrade at backup QB-- every NFL team needs a good backup. Niners got away with having Colt McCoy as its backup last year.

9) Mt St Mary's 88, Robert Morris 71-- 16-16 Mountaineers were down 19 in second half in their first round tourney game; would guess they're heading to Dayton for a First Four game Tuesday or Wednesday.

8) Milwaukee 69, Wright State 63-- Panthers went 7-9 in Horizon regular season, 3-0 in tournament, which is all that matters. Tough one for Wright St, which got an unexpected home game in tourney final, then laid an egg.

7) Gonzaga 75, BYU 64-- David Stockton picked up his game this week, and Gonzaga goes back to the NCAAs. Going to be a long five days for BYU-- if you're a bubble team waiting to see if you got a bid, this is a brutal week.

6) North Dakota State 60, Fort Wayne 57-- Best game of night, as Bison hold off the Mastadons and get back to NCAAs for first time since 2009.

5) Cowboys cut DeMarcus Ware, saving $16M on the salary cap; ESPN is reporting that the Broncos are the favorite to sign Ware.

4) Raiders gave Rodger Saffold $42.5M for five years; he played tackle for the Rams, but was hurt just as often as not. He'll play guard for the Raiders, but thats an awful lot of money for a guy with a shaky track record.

3) Tough day for Chiefs, who lost Branden Albert, Dexter McClusker to free agency. Thats a big reason why its hard to maintain success-- can't pay everyone, and other teams come after the guys you don't pay.

2) Spurs 104, Bulls 96-- San Antonio was up 53-23 in this game; they made 12-21 from the arc as they improve to 47-16.

1) Sugar Land Skeeters, an independent team, invited Tracy McGrady to try out for its team; pretty cool story if McGrady becomes a pro pitcher, after a stellar career in the NBA.

SEC Tournament betting cheat seet: Round 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

South Carolina Gamecocks vs. Auburn Tigers (-3)

Frank Martin was suspended for the Gamecocks' regular-season finale - a 74-62 win at Mississippi State - after a video of his profanity-laden tirade directed at freshman guard Duane Notice went viral following a 72-46 loss to top-ranked Florida last week. He returns in search of his first win in four meetings with the Tigers, who closed the regular season with a 69-64 win at Texas A&M.

The Tigers hope first-team All-SEC guard Chris Denson's 19 points against Texas A&M mean his shooting slump is over after he scored a total of nine points in the previous two games. The Tigers don't have a lot of offensive prowess when Denson isn't scoring - they scored 54 and 57 in his back-to-back single-digit games, both of which were lopsided losses.

TRENDS:

* Underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings.
* Gamecocks are 0-5 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Tigers are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games following a S.U. win.
* Under is 8-1 in Gamecocks last nine overall.


Mississippi State Bulldogs vs. Vanderbilt Commodores (-7)

Mississippi State enters Wednesday's matchup at the Georgia Dome on a 13-game losing streak that dates to Jan. 22 and already includes one loss to the Commodores. The skid is tied for the second-longest in school history and the Bulldogs haven't won a game away from home since beating South Florida in the Las Vegas Classic on Dec. 22.

The Commodores put up a fight in conference play, but with only seven active scholarship players they've wilted down the stretch. They continue to be competitive, though, as eight of their 11 SEC losses were by single digits.

TRENDS:

* Bulldogs are 6-1-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings.
* Over is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings.
* Commodores are 6-2 ATS in their last eight neutral site games.
* Bulldogs are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games following a ATS loss.

South Florida Bulls vs. Rutgers Scarlet Knights (-2.5)

The Bulls look to snap an eight-game losing streak, which included three one-point losses. Leading scorer Victor Rudd averaged 21 points and 7.8 rebounds during the past six games, scoring 32.2 percent of his teams points during that stretch. Wednesday's winner plays fifth-ranked and second-seeded Louisville in Thursday's 3 p.m. ET quarterfinal.

Myles Mack leads the Scarlet Knights, who needed to erase a 15-point second-half deficit on March 1 to finish the sweep of South Florida, with 15.1 points and 4.4 assists. Kadeem Jack, who adds 14.1 points and a team-high 6.9 rebounds, averaged 25.5 points in the two games against the Bulls. Moore adds 11.4 points for Rutgers, which outrebounded Connecticut (in a 69-63 loss) and Cincinnati last week.

TRENDS:

* Bulls are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings.
* Underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings.
* Over is 6-0 in the last six meetings.
* Bulls are 0-5 ATS in their last five neutral site games.


Central Florida Knights vs. Temple Owls (+1)

Isaiah Sykes, who had 23 points in the Golden Knights' 78-76 win against Temple in January, leads Central Florida with 16.4 points and 7.1 rebounds and earned All-Conference Second Team honors. He is the only AAC player ranked in the league's top 15 scoring, rebounding, assists (3.6), steals (1.6) and field-goal percentage (46.8).

The Owls enter the tournament after back-to-back wins, including a home overtime victory against the Golden Knights on March 4. Temple is one of six Division I teams (Iona, Murray State, Northwestern State, Notre Dame, Quinnipiac) with four players averaging at least 13 points.

TRENDS:

* Knights are 8-20-2 ATS in their last 30 games overall.
* Owls are 4-1 ATS in their last five vs. American Athletic Conference.
* Under is 4-0 in Knights last four neutral site games.
* Under is 4-1 in Owls last five neutral site games.

Butler Bulldogs vs. Seton Hall Pirates (-1.5)

The Bulldogs defeated the Pirates in both matchups this season, winning as many league games against Seton Hall as it did against the rest of the Big East. The ninth-seeded Bulldogs had lost seven straight prior to their back-to-back victories last week - two games in which they allowed a total of 100 points. Kellen Dunham was Butler's offense star in the most recent matchup with the Pirates, making all seven of his 3-pointers en route to 29 points.

The Pirates' bench actually outscored their starters in Saturday's loss to the Bulldogs, with reserve Patrik Auda leading the way with 22 points. One strength the eighth-seeded Pirates have is that they shoot 72.2 percent from the foul line as a team, with six of their top seven scorers knocking down at least 70 percent of their foul shots. On the other hand, Seton Hall ranks just 295th nationally in rebounding, even though Gene Teague (7.7 boards) is a load at 6-9, 270 pounds.

TRENDS:

* Bulldogs are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games following a ATS win.
* Pirates are 15-31 ATS in their last 46 neutral site games.
* Under is 6-1 in Bulldogs last seven overall.
* Under is 4-1 in Pirates last five vs. Big East.


DePaul Blue Demons vs. Georgetown Hoyas (-11)

The Blue Demons have won just once since mid-January, losing nine times by double digits in their last 13 games. Brandon Young (16.2 points) has averaged 23.8 points over his last four games while Billy Garrett Jr. (12.4 points) has contributed at least nine points in 13 consecutive contests. Leading scorer and rebounder Cleveland Melvin (16.7 points, 6.4 rebounds) dropped out of school in February for reasons that remain unclear.

Georgetown knows that it likely needs to reach the Big East tournament title game to have any shot at earning an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. Georgetown's 14 straight wins against DePaul - a run that dates to Jan. 22, 1994 - is the longest ever by one Big East team against another.

TRENDS:

* Under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings.
* Hoyas are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games overall.
* Blue Demons are 0-6 ATS in their last six neutral site games.
* Hoyas are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 vs. Big East.

Pac-12 Conference Tournament betting cheat sheet: Round 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Washington Huskies vs. Utah Utes (-5.5)

The Huskies closed the regular season by winning three of their final four, and senior guard C.J. Wilcox has averaged 22 points in his last two contests. The Huskies have received solid production from freshmen guards Andrew Andrews and Nigel Williams-Goss, who have combined to average 26.1 points in league play.

The Utes’ weak nonconference schedule and lack of signature wins has some experts suggesting No. 8 seed Utah needs to win the league tournament in order to advance to the Big Dance. The Utes are second in the Pac-12 in scoring defense while holding teams to an average of 64 points.

TRENDS:

* Underdog is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Huskies are 1-4 ATS in their last five neutral site games.
* Utes are 20-8-1 ATS in their last 29 vs. Pacific-12.
* Under is 12-4 in Utes last 16 neutral site games.


USC Trojans vs. Colorado Buffaloes (-8.5)

The Trojans finished last in the Pac-12 in several categories, including scoring defense (75.8), 3-point field goal percentage (29.4) and turnover margin (minus-3), but leading scorer Byron Wesley offers hope for an upset. The 6-5 junior averaged 15 points and six rebounds in two games against Colorado, and he’s averaging 20.7 points while shooting 21-for-35 from the field over his last three games.

The Buffaloes defeated the Trojans in both meetings this season, 83-62 at home on Jan. 18 and 83-74 on Feb. 16 in Los Angeles. Colorado’s biggest challenge against the Trojans might be dealing with the lingering effects of Saturday's disappointing loss to California, when the Golden Bears won despite not making a single field goal in overtime.

TRENDS:

* Trojans are 1-4 ATS in their last five neutral site games.
* Trojans are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
* Buffaloes are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five neutral site games.
* Buffaloes are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.


Oregon State Beavers vs. Oregon Ducks (-6.5)

Senior guard Roberto Nelson averaged 20.6 points to become the first Oregon State player since Gary Payton in 1990 to win the Pac-12 scoring title, and he had 15 points to lead the Beavers to an important win over the Sun Devils in the regular-season finale. The Beavers finished the conference season on a high note with last Saturday's 78-76 overtime win over Arizona State.

The Ducks’ roller-coaster season included a 13-0 start and a 3-8 record at one point in league play before registering impressive wins over UCLA and Arizona down the stretch. Guard Joseph Young averages a team-high 18.2 points, but he could use a bounce-back game after being held to eight points on 3-of-12 shooting in last Saturday's 64-57 win over the Arizona Wildcats.

TRENDS:

* Beavers are 1-3-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings.
* Beavers are 4-0 ATS in their last four vs. Pacific-12.
* Ducks are 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven neutral site games.


Washington State Cougars vs. Stanford Cardinal (-10.5)

Four days after recording the biggest upset in the Pac-12 this season, Washington State looks to pull another surprise Wednesday in Las Vegas in the conference tournament's first round against No. 6 seed Stanford. The 11th-seeded Cougars snapped an eight-game losing streak with Saturday’s stunning 73-55 win over UCLA, and they’ll need a similar effort against a veteran Stanford squad.

The Cardinal swept the season series with an 80-48 home victory on Jan. 15 before winning 69-56 in Pullman on Feb. 15. They closed the regular season by losing three of their final four games and remains squarely on the NCAA Tournament bubble heading into Wednesday’s contest.

TRENDS:

* Cougars are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Cougars are 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall.
* Under is 9-1-2 in Cougars last 12 neutral site games.
* Cardinal are 0-4 ATS in their last four games overall.
