OVER 129.5
PACIFIC @ SAN DIEGO | 2/29 | 10:00 PM EST
8:47 AM
The Toreros are coming off a game against Gonzaga, so this is a huge drop in class. San Diego has six straight Overs when it is a dog and the total is at least 12 points lower than it was in its previous game. Meanwhile Pacific is coming off a 60-53 road win over Loyola Marymount in which the Tigers allowed 34.8 percent shooting. The Tigers have gone Over 20 straight when they are coming off a road win in which they held their opponent to less than 39 percent shooting. We are on the Over.

OVER 146.5
PFW @ ORAL ROBERTS | 2/29 | 8:00 PM EST
8:43 AM
The Oral Roberts Golden Eagles are coming off a 113-70 scorefest over Western Illinois. We don’t expect them to slow down here, as the Golden Eagles are 19-0 OU when they are off a win in which they had as assist-to-turnover ratio of at least 1.75. This indicator has been active five times so far this season, and all five have gone Over by double-digits. We make the play the Over.

UNDER 136
PITTSBURGH @ NC STATE | 2/29 | 12:00 PM EST
8:40 AM
The Wolfpack have 16 straight Unders as a favorite off a loss in which they had more than six assists and allowed fewer than 90 points in each of their last two games. NC State is 0-5 OU in this spot this season. Pitt is off a 72-49 home loss to the Orange in which it was the favorite. This has been a big Under spot for the Panthers, as they are 0-14 OU off a home loss in which they scored at least 15 points fewer than expected. Their lone active date so far this season stayed Under by 21 points. We are on the Under.

UNDER 143.5
SAN DIEGO ST @ NEVADA | 2/29 | 8:00 PM EST
8:35 AM
The Aztecs started a new winning streak in their last game, and they did it with defense. This is an Under indicator, as San Diego State has reeled off 17 straight Unders as a road favorite off a home game in which the Aztecs held their opponent to under 40 percent shooting. Nevada has not been sharing the rock recently, as less than 50 percent of their baskets were assisted in each of its last two games. This is a nice Under indicator, as the Wolf Pack have seven straight Unders as a dog when they are off two games in which less than half their field goals were assisted. We make the play the Under.
UNDER 135.5
OKLAHOMA @ W. VIRGINIA | 2/29 | 4:00 PM EST
9:03 AM
West Virginia has seen the Under post a 21-7 record on the season and cash in 10 of 14 home games this year. The Mountaineers rank 12th in the nation in defense, allowing just 61.7 points per game. The Under cashed in the first meeting and has cashed in nine of the last 11 games the Sooners were listed as an underdog. The Under is 10-2 in 12 day games for West Virginia this season and has cashed in 10 of its last 11 Saturday games. Under is the play.

BAYLOR -7.5
BAYLOR @ TCU | 2/29 | 2:00 PM EST
8:59 AM
The Bears bounced back big after a tough loss against Kansas with a dominating win over Kansas State and will look to end a two-game road losing streak in this series. They are a tough matchup on both sides of the ball and are 8-0 and 7-1 ATS on the road this year. Baylor allows just 58.7 points per game, which is sixth in the nation. The Bears face a Frogs offense that really struggles offensively, averaging just 65.3 points a contest (313rd in the nation). The Bears won 68-52 in the first meeting, and the favorite is now 9-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Take Baylor.
KANSAS -11
KANSAS @ KANSAS ST. | 2/29 | 1:30 PM EST
8:54 AM
There will be no love lost today when these teams meet. They had to call in extra police and security to keep this game in check after the last meeting ended in a brawl. This game is a mismatch, and expect the score to reflect that just like the first meeting (81-60). The Wildcats have dropped eight straight games while the Jayhawks have won 13 straight and are 10-3 ATS during the streak. Kansas is one of the best defensive teams in the nation and has covered eight straight ATS on the road. Take the Jayhawks.
BOSTON -142
BOSTON @ N.Y. ISLANDERS | 2/29 | 1:00 PM EST
8:31 AM
The Islanders are struggling a bit right now, having dropped six of their last eight games. More importantly, the Bruins own a nine-game point streak in this series (8-0-1) and have won nine straight on the Islanders' home ice. Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask is 16-5-1 with a 1.97 GAA against New York in his career. The Bruins have won 12 of their last 15 games while the Islanders have dropped seven straight Saturday games and five straight as an underdog. Bruins money line (-142) is the play.

triple-dime bet
Analysis:
I'm not a firm believer in the Arizona Wildcats. We faded them last game out when they took on the USC Trojans and cashed the ticket. I do not expect their stay in Los Angeles to improve here Saturday night. The Wildcats are starting to leak oil down the stretch and now they face the surging Bruins who are on top of their game and playing with confidence and swagger. UCLA has bought into what Mick Cronin is selling and it is paying off in spades. They are approaching the upcoming Pac 12 tourney with high hopes and expectations and frankly they are realistic as nobody has a choke hold on this league. They have now prevailed in a stellar ten of their last twelve games and will be taking the floor Saturday night getting points at home. As I have stated countless times one of the biggest traps bettors fall into is paralysis of analysis. The Wildcats have a pair of league games coming up afterwards against the Washington Huskies and Washington State Cougars and likely will rebound. Well, I say they will have to. I say the wrong team is favored here Saturday night. But to play it safe· take the points. Nothing much about this game says the Wildcats are the right side to me. I am going Triple Star game of the year on the Bruins to stay hot and defend the home court.
Okay, we have won all four of the conference game of the year selections and I am confident we will here as well guys. But nothing is a lock or sure hit. That is BS that get's peddled elsewhere. I try hard to always keep it real. Don't over extend on any sporting event. That is the surest sign of a rank amateur. Many sincere thanks as always and best of luck to each of us. Enjoy the game. Steve

The NBA Comp Play is on Miami at 7:35 eastern. The Heat are one of the best home teams in the league and have covered 12 of 15 on Saturdays and 19 of 27 at home. Brooklyn was crushed last night allowing 140 points. The Nets have failed to cover 9 of 11 as a road dog, 9 of 12 vs winning teams and the last 4 with no rest. To tie in a league wide system from the database we note that Home favorites with no rest that were non division home favorites the night before cover 89% since 1995 vs an opponent like the Nets that were a road favorite. These home favorites win by an average 14 points per game. We will back the Heat tonight.

NCAA Basketball(Bob Balfe) VIP 12:00 PM EST Rotation # 604 NC State -9 over Pitt Pitt is a physical team that likes to get into grind out like games, but are not that great when playing teams with pure scoring. NC State is historically really good at putting up points in bunches at home and over the course of 40 mins go on enough runs to win this game by double digits. I don’t think Pitt has the shooting to stick around on the road. Take NC State.
NCAA Basketball 12:00 PM EST Rotation # 607
Providence +7.5 over Nova Going against a Jay Wright coached Nova team on the road is a cardinal sin, but this Providence team does have talent and it’s just a matter of Ed Cooley being able to motivate his players enough. Collin Gillespie is a game time decision with a thigh bruise. This would be a pretty big loss for Nova and even if he plays he might not be at 100%. Nova lost a lot of talent from last year and I think Providence has a little bit of value here. This is one of the most experienced teams in the country. The Friars might indeed do everything they can to lose this game, but 7 points is generous. Take Providence.
NCAA Basketball 2:00 PM EST Rotation # 642 Indiana State -5 over Valpo Valpo will be without guard Javon Freeman-Liberty due to mono and Nick Robinson is iffy with a back injury. Indiana State is the deeper and more talented roster who shoots the ball better. The Sycamores have a lot of veteran leadership and will be looking for payback after dropping the first contest on the road. This team protects the ball so well which makes them even tougher to beat at home. Take Indiana State.
NCAA Basketball 3:45 PM EST Rotation # 642 Auburn +6.5 over Kentucky Auburn is an experience veteran team that is lead by a future hall of fame coach in Bruce Pearl. The senior leadership won’t back down on the road. The Tigers already showed they are capable of beating this team. Kentucky is well coached and has great athletes, but they still are young and as each day passes the work load for some of the younger guys is something they never experienced at the high school level. Auburn has struggled at times this month, but with a healthy Isaac Okoro back should make this game very interesting as the dog. This is a game in which toughness really comes into play. The Tigers are as tough as they come. Take Auburn.
NCAA Basketball 4:00 PM EST Rotation # 727 UNC +4 over Syracuse
UNC has owned this series and you would think this would be a perfect time for Cuse to snap that streak, but how much scoring can they get if Buddy Boeheim doesn’t play. Roy Williams is a good enough coach to take Elijah Hughes away and make other players beat them. This is a veteran UNC team that hit the worst streak of luck you will ever see in a season. Cuse plays great defense with their zone coverage, UNC has the athletes to work it. Take North Carolina.
