SPORTS ADVISORS

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 15

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

UConn (14-11, 9-14 ATS) at (4) Villanova (22-2, 16-7 ATS)

The struggling Huskies make the trek to The Pavilion at Villanova for a key Big East matchup with the Wildcats.

Connecticut has lost five of its last six games (both SU and ATS), including Saturday’s humiliating 60-48 home loss to Cincinnati as a seven-point favorite. The Huskies, who are on the bubble for the NCAA Tournament and in need of a statement victory, have struggled on the road this year, going 1-8 SU and 4-5 ATS. They’ve been outscored by more than seven points per game (74.3-67.2) when they take to the highway.

Villanova has won 13 of its last 14 (10-4 ATS) overall, including a 92-81 home win over Providence on Saturday, though it came up short as a 14-point favorite. Four of the Wildcats five starters scoring in double digits on Saturday, as Villanova continued its high-scoring ways. Jay Wright’s club averages 87.6 ppg and shoots 48.3 percent from the floor at home, where they are a perfect 11-0 (7-3 ATS) this season.

UConn won the only matchup between these two last season, scoring an 89-83 home win but coming up short as a 9½-point favorite. The Wildcats have cashed in four of the last five series clashes and six of the last nine dating back to 2003, including four straight at home. The host is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings, and the chalk has cashed in five of the last seven.

The Huskies are on ATS slides of 1-5 overall, 1-4 on Monday and 2-6 after a non-cover. Meanwhile, Villanova has failed to cover in three of its last four games but is still on several positive ATS streaks, including 15-6 overall, 9-4 in Big East action, 8-3 at home, 6-0 on Monday and 13-6 after a straight-up win.

For UConn, the under is on runs of 7-3 overall, 10-4 on the road, 6-2 in conference play and 7-2 after a non-cover. On the opposite side, the Wildcats have topped the total in 14 of 18 overall, eight of 11 Big East games, 12 of 16 after a straight-up win and five of seven Monday contests. In this series, the over is 6-2 in the last eight meetings but the under is 4-1 in the last five played at Villanova.

ATS ADVANTAGE: VILLANOVA


(1) Kansas (24-1, 10-11-1 ATS) at Texas A&M (18-6, 12-8 ATS)

The top-ranked Jayhawks head to Reed Arena in College Station, Texas, in search of their 11th straight win when they take on Texas A&M in a Big 12 matchup.

Kansas is coming in off Saturday’s 73-59 home blowout of Iowa State, but it fell short as a 21-point favorite to drop to 1-4 ATS in its last five games. The Jayhawks had four of five starters score in double figures against the Cyclones, with Marcus Morris and Cole Aldrich recording double-doubles. Bill Self’s squad is 9-1 away from home this season (4-5-1 ATS), holding the opposition to 66.9 ppg and 38.3 percent shooting.

The Aggies have rattled off four consecutive SU and ATS wins, including Saturday’s thrilling 67-65 road win at Texas Tech on Saturday, cashing as a one-point underdog thanks to the play of Bryan Davis (13 points, 16 rebounds). Texas A&M sits at a perfect 13-0 at home this season but has cashed in just five of nine lined contests. Going back to last year, the Aggies have won 16 in a row at Reed Arena (8-4 ATS), including 8-0 when hosting Big 12 foes (6-2 ATS).

Kansas has won three straight in this rivalry (2-1 ATS) and nine of the last 10 (6-4 ATS) dating back to the 2001 season. In last season’s lone clash, the Jayhawks scored a 73-53 win as 10½-point home favorite. The road team has gotten the cash in five of the last six meetings, with Kansas covering in four of the last five at College Station.

Despite failing to cover in four of their last five (all in conference), the Jayhawks are still on ATS runs of 17-5 on Monday and 9-3-1 after a non-cover. Texas A&M is on positive ATS streaks of 7-3 after a spread-cover, 4-0 in Big 12 action and 5-1 at home against teams with winning road records.

Kansas has stayed “under” the posted number in five of seven overall, 36 of 53 after a straight-up win, seven of 10 on the road and five of six on Monday. The Aggies have stayed below the number in five of seven at home, but gone “over” the number in four of five overall and five of six at home against teams with winning road records. In this series, the “over” has been the play in three of the last five overall.

ATS ADVANTAGE: TEXAS A&M

CONNECTICUT +10 - The Huskies are in a great spot here after playing a garbage game on Saturday and getting called out big time by their head coach. The value is entirely on Connecticut in this game because of their bad straight up record recently. Calhoun is back now though and will have his team ready to play on Monday. After looking over some things, Connecticut has actually played well against the best teams on their schedule. They have the horses to hang with Villanova and keep this game close.

TEXAS A&M +8 - Kansas is 3-3 ATS in their last 6 games on the road, and needed overtime to beat Colorado and Kansas State, and the Wildcats should have won outright against the Jayhawks. Texas A&M plays vastly better at home, and Kansas has been a point spread disaster recently, going 1-4 ATS. A&M is also playing their best basketball of the season right now, beating Baylor at home and Missouri on the road, a very rare home loss for the Tigers. This game will come down to the wire and don't be surprised if Texas A&M wins outright.

double-dime bet 710 Texas A&M 7.5 (-110) BetUS vs 709 Kansas Analysis: In my view we have a very live and dangerous dog here with the Aggies. They have been playing well for Mark Turgeon and I expect Reed Arena to be wired tonight. The Big 12 can be a brutal place for travelers and I expect the Aggies to play Kansas close to the end. The Aggies have proven to be a resilient bunch and have gotten up off the deck and rallied from double digit deficits in the last three games. They sport a perfect 13-0 mark at home with 5 of those being conference wins. We all know Bill Self is a great coach but this team of his has a dangerous habit of playing to the level of competition and can be sporadic. They are a veteran team that feels like it can turn it on whenever the need arises. This Kansas squad knows they have the conference wrapped up and I feel they are not going to be as dialed in tonight as the home guys. Remember when the Jayhawks needed overtime… just awhile back to escape Boulder, Colorado with a victory? I can assure you this Aggie club is on a different level than the Buffs. In the end, just too many points guys.

Chuck O'Brien MONDAY'S WINNER 20 DIME: NEW MEXICO STATE (minus the points vs. Hawaii)

New Mexico State

BREAKDOWN: New Mexico State is coming off its worst defeat of the Western Athletic Conference season, Thursday’s 83-64 debacle at Fresno State. But the Aggies are still 8-3 in conference play, including 4-1 SU and 3-1-1 ATS at home. And for the season, they’ve won nine of 12 home games. Here’s why that’s a big deal: Hawaii is 0-for-7 when leaving the Islands this year (2-5 ATS), including 0-5 in WAC road games. Those five particular conference road losses have come by an average of 18.2 ppg. … When these teams met three weeks ago in Hawaii, New Mexico came away with a 71-69 win as a one-point road underdog. The Aggies have now won four in a row and seven of eight in this series, and they’re 7-3 ATS in the last 10. … Speaking of pointspread stats, this says it all: New Mexico State is 10-3-1 ATS in its last 14 WAC games and 4-0-1 ATS in its last five when coming off a loss, while Hawaii is 4-9 ATS in its last 13 WAC games, 5-12 ATS in its last 17 against winning teams and 3-9 ATS in its last 12 as an underdog. And even though the Warriors covered in Saturday’s 66-60 loss at Louisiana Tech as a 15-point road underdog, they haven’t cashed in back-to-back games this entire season!
