This is a play on the OREGON DUCKS as part of our CBB Saturday Triple Play. The Ducks are coming off a loss against Colorado which snapped an eight-game winning streak. Oregon was outrebounded (40-28) for the first time this season, had 14 turnovers to eight assists, and had several defensive lapses that helped spark the Buffaloes, who scored 46 points in the second half. Utah has played just two games since beating Idaho on Dec. 18th as they have lost to UCLA and USC and had games against Arizona St. and Oregon St. postponed. The Utes offense completely forgot to show up in their 64-46 loss to USC as it was their lowest scoring output since the 2018-19 season. The Ducks are 28-12 ATS in their last 40 games against teams with a winning straight up record while the Utes are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games as a home underdog. Here, we play on teams in a game involving two teams averaging 60 or more shots per game that are +3 to +6 in rpg going up against teams that are -3 to -6 rpg. This situation is 64-27 ATS (70.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (789) Oregon Ducks

This is a play on the UTEP MINERS for our CBB Friday Supreme Annihilator. Rice is off to an 8-2 start but the schedule has been suspect. Wins over Our Lady of the Lake? LeTourneau? Houston Baptist? The Owls have won and covers three straight games including a pair of wins over UTSA last weekend to open C-USA play. The Owls are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games against teams with a winning home record. The Miners are coming off a split against Southern Mississippi but the one loss came in overtime. They have an impressive win over Arizona St. and a competitive loss against Arizona where they lost by just eight points. UTEP has indicated between 7 and 10 percent of the Haskins Center will be filled with season-ticket holders, indicating between 700 and 1,000 fans. They will be the first fans allowed into a game this year and while that is not a lot, it is something and better than no one there at all. The Miners are 4-0 ATS in their last four games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points off a win by 10 points or more over a conference rival, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .600 and .800. This situation is 134-81 ATS (62.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (896) UTEP Miners

This is a play on the SMU MUSTANGS for our CBB Thursday Enforcer. The Mustangs dropped their first game of the season to Houston, 74-60, in Dallas on Sunday. Then-No. 5 Houston looked the part of a conference juggernaut while SMU showed signs that it will remain a force in the league although it might be a bit early to assess their chances. This is a big rebound game for the Mustangs and the line is in their favor. Cincinnati has lost five straight games to fall to 2-6 on the season. The Bearcats only wins have come against Lipscomb and Furman so they have struggled against quality teams. Poor shooting has plagued Cincinnati this season, with the Bearcats connecting on just 42.7 percent of their shot attempts and only 26 percent of their three-pointers. The Bearcats are 9-24 ATS in their last 33 games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points with a winning percentage of .800 or better after having covered five or six of their last seven games against the spread. This situation is 109-69 ATS (61.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (734) SMU Mustangs

This is a play on the MICHIGAN ST. SPARTANS for our CBB Big Ten Game of the Year. Michigan St. is off to a 0-3 start in the Big Ten, all losses coming by nine points or more. This is nothing new. Last year, Michigan St. lost three in a row during the month of February. It rallied to come back and win a Big Ten title with a season-ending five-game winning streak. The year before, the Spartans also lost three straight games in late January and early February, before finishing the regular season 7-1 and taking a title. They are fine and catching an opponent that they can destroy. Nebraska was expected to be bad and it is holding up as the Huskers have lost three straight as well and have failed to cover six straight games. Nebraska is 4-12 ATS in its last 16 games off two straight losses against conference rivals while the Spartans are 6-0 ATS in their last six games following a straight up loss of more than 20 points. Here, we play on road teams as a favorite or pickem with a winning percentage between .600 and .800 off an upset loss by 10 points or more as a road favorite, playing a bad team with a winning percentage between .200 and .400. This situation is 37-15 ATS (71.2 percent) since 1997. 10* (777) Michigan St. Spartans

This is a play on the SAN JOSE ST. SPARTANS for our CBB Thursday Enforcer. Boise St. lost its opener against Houston and has reeled off six straight wins since then and the Broncos are now extremely overpriced in this situation. This is a team that has been playing great for sure but it looks like too much respect early in the season from a team with just two starters back. Opponents are averaging 58 ppg against the Broncos, which is tied for 12th nationally. The Broncos are holding opponents to an average of 37.7 percent from the floor, which ranks No. 23 in the nation. San Jose St. has lost four straight games and failed to cover any of those but those all true road games. The teams will square off in Phoenix because of restrictions in Santa Clara County in response to COVID-19 but this is not a big deal based on home court not being a big advantage because of no fans. Here, we play against road teams as a favorite or pickem that are averaging between 74 and 78 ppg going up against teams allowing 78 or more ppg, after scoring 45 points or more in the first half last game. This situation is 29-8 ATS (78.4 percent) since 1997. 10* (752) San Jose St. Spartans

This is a play on the VIRGINA TECH HOKIES for our CBB Tuesday Enforcer. Virginia Tech has won three straight games following a loss at Penn St., its only defeat of the season. The Hokies are deep with four players averaging double-digits in scoring while another player coming off the bench has scored 18 points in two straight games. The Hokies are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. Making shots especially from long range has been a major issue so far for Miami, which after a solid win over Purdue, lost its ACC opener against Pittsburgh and was dealt a non-conference defeat by Florida Gulf Coast. The Hurricanes are ranked 329th among 335 Division I teams in three-point shooting percentage (.235). The backcourt remains banged up which is a big reason for that. The Hurricanes are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as a road underdog. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are outscoring their opponents by 12 or more ppg, after two straight wins by 20 points or more. This situation is 110-61 ATS (64.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (606) Virginia Tech Hokies

This is a play on the MICHIGAN ST. SPARTANS for our CBB Monday Enforcer. We lost with Michigan St. two games back and now it is must win time for the Spartans even though it is very early in the season. After going undefeated in non-conference play, Michigan St. has dropped its first two conference games. The Spartans were crushed by Northwestern, 79-65, on Dec. 20, then got outplayed in the second half of an 85-76 home loss to No. 9 Wisconsin on Friday. Michigan St. has as much talent as any team in the conference but it is just not playing to its potential on offense and definitely not defensively. The Gophers defeated non-conference opponent St. Louis and the Hawkeyes after getting thumped 92-65 by Illinois in their Big Ten opener. Here, we play against underdogs with a winning percentage of .800 or better off a win over a conference rival as an underdog of six points or more, playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 34-12 ATS (73.9 percent) since 1997. 10* (837) Michigan St. Spartans

This is a play on the MARQUETTE GOLDEN EAGLES for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Villanova has won five straight games following a loss against Virginia Tech and holds its place at No. 5 in the AP Poll. The Wildcats are also 2-0 in Big East action after rallying from down 18 to beat Georgetown by 13 on the road as well as dismissing Butler by 19. Villanova does not block shots and they do not create turnovers and that could be a big problem in this matchup. Marquette has been battle-tested against incredibly talented teams and will not go down easily. They have some nice wins and some crushing losses and overall, the Golden Eagles have played the No. 34 ranked schedule in the country. They are 2-3 against the top 50 but that includes a 2-0 record against the top 25. Villanova is 2-9 ATS in its last 11 games after scoring 75 points or more in two straight games. Here, we play on underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points off a loss by three points or less to a conference rival going up against an opponent off a no-cover where the team won straight up as a favorite. This situation is 57-29 ATS (66.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (726) Marquette Golden Eagles

This is a play on the LOUISVILLE CARDINALS for our CBB Tuesday Supreme Annihilator. Louisville is coming off a 37-point loss at Wisconsin in its last game three days ago after a 4-0 start and they look to rebound in their ACC opener. It was their first game in 19 days and it was evident. Carlik Jones is the only player in the ACC to rank among the top 15 in each of scoring (7th in the ACC, 17.3 ppg), rebounding (13th, 7.0 rpg) and assists (2nd, 5.3 apg). He missed the last game at Wisconsin and it showed and his return is huge for the Cardinals. The Panthers are trying to win a sixth straight game after getting knocked off by St. Francis (Pa.) in their season opener. Associate head coach Tim O'Toole will fill in for head coach Jeff Capel against Louisville because of COVID-19 reasons. Louisville, which leads the all-time series with Pittsburgh 19-6, is 15-1 in its past 16 meetings with the Panthers. Here, we play on teams where the line is +3 to -3 after scoring 50 points or less, with four starters returning from last year in the first 10 games of the season. This situation is 69-35 ATS (66.3 percent) since 1997. 10* (639) Louisville Cardinals

This is a play on the MICHIGAN ST. SPARTANS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Michigan St. is off to a 6-0 start including impressive wins over Duke and Notre Dame. The Spartans have dropped three straight against the number but they were favored by at least 23.5 points in all three of those games and they have a more manageable number here in their Big Ten opener. This team is deep with nine players averaging at least 11 minutes per game while the Spartans have had five different players lead them in scoring. Michigan St. has won 12 straight games against Northwestern, the longest current win streak against any Big Ten opponent. Eight of those 12 wins have been by double digits. Northwestern is 3-1 with the three wins coming against Division II Quincy, Arkansas Pine-Bluff and Chicago St. The Wildcats went just 3-17 in conference play last season and while four starters are back, they are still inexperienced. The Spartans are 11-2 ATS in their last 13 games after two straight wins by 15 points or more while the Wildcats are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Here, we play against underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points after leading their last three games by five or more points at the half, with four starters returning from last year in the first five games of the season. This situation is 32-11 ATS (74.4 percent) since 1997. 10* (737) Michigan St. Spartans

This is a play on the STANFORD CARDINAL for our CBB Saturday Enforcer. Arizona is off to a 5-0 start but has played no one as the Wildcats have been favored by at least 12.5 points in all of those games. This is the first test of the season and Arizona will have its work cut out as it returns no starters from last season while having to replace its top five players. Loaded with experience and returning 74 percent of its scoring from last season, while also welcoming in the highest-rated recruit ever, wing Ziaire Williams, the Cardinal is off to a 3-2 start with the losses coming against North Carolina and Indiana. To put the experience into perspective, according to KenPom, Stanford is ranked No. 29 in minutes continuity which is a measure of how many minutes are played by the same players from the previous season while Arizona is ranked No. 302. Arizona has won 20 straight meetings against Stanford but this is the best Cardinal team to face to Wildcats which possess one of the weakest in a while so that streak finally comes to an end. Here, we play on home teams that shot 45 percent or better last season after a game where they shot 60 percent or better while allowing 40 percent shooting or less. This situation is 51-23 ATS (68.9 percent) since 1997. 10* (682) Stanford Cardinal

This is a play on the AIR FORCE FALCONS for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Nevada has been favored four times this season, none by more than 5.5 points and now they are laying double-digits. For a program like Nevada that has been so good for so long, that could be understood but not this year. The Wolf Pack have just one starter back and have to replace their top four scorers. This includes Jalen Harris who averaged 21.7 ppg along with two other double-digit scorers and also the MWC Sixth Man of the Year. The five players lost led the team in minutes played. Air Force is in a similar spot where it has to replace four starters but that might not be a bad thing for a team that went 12-20 last season and brings back head coach Joe Scott who led the Falcons to just their third NCAA Tournament appearance in his first stint here before going to Princeton. Air Force is a slow tempo team and that is an edge when getting the number of points that it is getting here. Air Force is 20-7 ATS in its last 27road games after scoring 60 points or less three straight games while Nevada is 2-5 ATS in its last seven games following a straight up win. Here, we play against home favorites of 10 to 19.5 points that are +/- 3.5 ppg in scoring differential going up against team that are between -3.5 and -8 ppg in scoring differential, after scoring 75 points or more two straight games. This situation is 70-39 ATS (64.2 percent) since 1997. 10* (851) Air Force Falcons

This is a play on the ST. LOUIS BILLIKENS for our CBB Thursday Enforcer. The Wolfpack will be seeking to end a streak of four straight games having been canceled. They were last seen blasting Massachusetts-Lowell by 31 points, their third straight win by 30 or more and this was way back on December 3. COVID-19 has hit the NC State program hard and it could show against the Billikens. Head coach Kevin Keatts told the media on Wednesday he will be taking just nine players on the road trip. With a limited roster, NC State will face a St. Louis team that returned all starters from last season and have won each game this season by an average of 27.2 ppg. St. Louis, which edged LSU by four points earlier in the season but has otherwise steamrolled all other foes by at least 19, has been led in scoring by Javonte Perkins at 19.4 ppg, one of three players averaging double-digits in scoring. St. Louis is 12-3 ATS in its last 15 home games after two consecutive covers as a favorite while the Wolfpack are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as a road underdog. Here, we play against road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points averaging 76 or more ppg going up against teams allowing 63 or fewer ppg, after three straight wins by 10 points or more. This situation is 62-29 ATS (68.1 percent) since 1997. 10* (800) St. Louis Billikens

This is a play on the SMU MUSTANGS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. East Carolina is off to a 5-0 start but the wins have not been overly impressive especially the last two which were an overtime win over UNC-Wilmington and a six-point win over North Florida. The Pirates have all five starters back from last season but after an 11-20 season, that is not necessarily a great thing. SMU is also undefeated at 4-0 which includes a big win at Dayton on the road last time out. SMU leads the AAC in scoring per game (89 ppg), field-goal percentage (48 percent), three-point percentage (38.5 percent), assists (19.3 apg) and made three-pointers (8.8 per game). They are also one of the best free throw shooting teams in the country, converting 81.9 percent of their attempts, which is No. 10 in the nation. This team is balanced with four players averaging double figures in scoring. The Pirates are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games following three or more consecutive home games while the Mustangs are 4-0 ATS in their last four home games against teams with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. Here, we play against road teams as an underdog or pickem off three or more consecutive home wins, with all five starters returning from last year in the first 10 games of the season. This situation is 41-13 ATS (75.9 percent) since 1997. 10* (690) SMU Mustangs

This is a play on the ST. LOUIS BILLIKENS for our CBB Tuesday Enforcer. St. Louis is off to a 4-0 start with three wins coming by 30 or more points and the fourth being an impressive one against an extraordinarily strong LSU team. The Billikens are coming off a 23-8 campaign last season and were on their way to an NCAA Tournament bid before everything was shut down but they come back as one of the most experienced teams in the country. They have all five starters from last season back as well as their top eight scorers so this team is loaded to make a huge run and win the Atlantic 10 title. Indiana St. is 1-1 with a win over Truman St. by just 14 points and a loss against Purdue. The Sycamore are somewhat experienced as well but did lose two key starters and got off to a late start because of COVID-19 related issues. The Sycamores are 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games against teams with a winning home record while the Billikens are 6-0 ATS in their last six games as a favorite. Here, we play on home favorites of 10 or more points in a game involving two teams that had winning records last season, with all five starters returning from last year in the first five games of the season. This situation is 56-25 ATS (69.1 percent) since 1997. 10* (630) St. Louis Billikens

This is a play on the CREIGHTON BLUE JAYS for our CBB Monday Enforcer. We played against Marquette on Friday and we are going against them here in another tough spot. With guard Symir Torrence out with an injured toe in his left foot and veteran frontcourt starter Theo John hampered of late with a knee injury, Marquette was forced to use numerous lineups with limited practice time together when they went to Los Angeles and lost to UCLA 69-60 Friday. Creighton bounced back from a one-point loss against Kansas with a 24-point win over Nebraska and is back home again to open the Big East season. The Bluejays are 12-2 ATS over their last 14 games against teams with winning straight-up records while going 6-0 ATS in their last six games as a home favorite of 6.5 to 9 points. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in a game involving two teams outscoring opponents by 8.0 or more ppg, after scoring 85 points or more. This situation is 103-60 ATS (63.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (824) Creighton Blue Jays

This is a play on the MISSOURI TIGERS for our CBB Saturday Enforcer. Missouri is off to a 4-0 start including impressive wins away from home against Oregon and Wichita St. The Tigers are coming off a 15-16 season but they return four of five starters and overall, they return their top seven scorers. Missouri is a guard-driven team, led by Mark Smith (17.2 ppg), Dru Smith (13.8 ppg) and Xavier Pinson (13.5 ppg). The Tigers struggled on offense last season as they were No. 209 in offensive efficiency but are No. 33 so far this season. Illinois is coming off an upset at Duke on Tuesday and big road wins like that can often put the team in letdown mode next time out. While the offense is above average, the defense has played below average thus far. This game will be played in Columbia, Mo. instead of St. Louis due to the pandemic. The Tigers won the virtual coin flip to decide which campus got the game, but they will play it with no fans inside Mizzou Arena so that does take a level of the home court advantage away. The Illini are 8-21 ATS in their last 29 games after a game where they covered the spread while the Tigers are 5-0 ATS in their last five games as a home underdog. 10* (734) Missouri Tigers

This is a play on the UCLA BRUINS for our CBB Friday Enforcer. UCLA lost its opener to San Diego St. and has since won four straight games. The last three victories have all been by 20 or more points, including an 83-56 shellacking of San Diego on Wednesday. The Bruins are getting healthy at the right time. Jalen Hill missed the first two games of the season, but he has been coming off the bench to average 9.3 ppg and a team high nine rpg since then. Johnny Juzang missed the first four games but returned against San Diego and he is a pure shooter as he shot 41 percent from long range in SEC play for Kentucky last season. Marquette is also off to a 4-1 start but this is the first road game for the Golden Eagles. UCLA has 54 assists on 88 field goals (61.4 percent) over its past three games while Marquette has assists on just 38 of 71 field goals (53.5 percent) during its past three games. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in a game involving two teams which had winning percentages between .600 and .800 from last season, with three or more starters returning from last year than opponent. This situation is 28-8 ATS (77.8 percent) since 1997. 10* (638) UCLA Bruins

This is a play on the CLEMSON TIGERS as part of our CBB Wednesday ACC/Big Ten Challenge Trifecta. Clemson is off to a 3-0 start that includes impressive wins over Mississippi St. and Purdue and it nearly doubled up South Carolina St. in its last game. After blowing out a quartet of mid-major programs, Maryland will face its biggest test to date. The Terrapins are coming off a 24-7 season but things are different as they have to fill the offensive void created by the departures of Anthony Cowan Jr. and Jalen Smith, who combined to average close to 32 ppg last season. While Maryland is second in the country in effective field goal percentage, it has come against a schedule ranked No. 215 in the country. Meanwhile the Clemson adjusted defensive rating ranks No. 9 in the nation against a much tougher schedule. This is the first true road game of the season, close to 2,000 fans will be allowed at Littlejohn Coliseum and while that is not much, Maryland has had no fans at all in its home games. Here, we play against road teams as an underdog or pickem, averaging 76 or more ppg going up against teams allowing 63 or fewer ppg, after three straight wins by 10 points or more. This situation is 113-65 ATS (63.5 percent) since 1997. 10* (608) Clemson Tigers

This is a play on the OHIO ST. BUCKEYES as part of our CBB ACC/Big Ten Challenge Trifecta. Notre Dame is 1-1 with the lone loss coming against Michigan St. which is nothing to be ashamed of. It has been a disappointing few years for the Irish and this year looks to be no different as they have been picked to finish third to last in the ACC. They lost three starters from last season including All ACC First Team forward John Mooney who had 25 double-doubles last season. Because of injuries, they have an eight-man roster that includes two freshmen and a walk-on player. Notre Dame is 0-21 in its last 21 games against ranked teams, its last win coming way back in 2017. College basketball home court is a big deal for major programs but this year is obviously different so the Irish do not have a big home court edge here, nor does Ohio St. have a significant disadvantage playing its first road game of the season. The Buckeyes are 3-0 and are ranked No. 22 in the country, which as mentioned, is a problem for Notre Dame. Here, we play on road favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after a cover as a double digit favorite, playing with five or six days of rest. This situation is 73-36 ATS (67 percent) since 1997. 10* (815) Ohio St. Buckeyes

This is a play on the UNC-WILMINGTON SEAHAWKS for our CBB Monday Enforcer. East Carolina is off to a 3-0 start including a 13-point win over Radford in its first lined game of the season. The Pirates were favored by the same number there but they were facing a Highlanders team that lost all five starters and their top eight scorers. One thing that hindered East Carolina last season was three-point shooting as it hit just 27.6 percent and that is already an issue this season as the Pirates are shooting only 28.6 percent from long range. UNC-Wilmington has had a rough go of it for the last few years but the Seahawks have new life as they brought in a new head coach that inherits four returning starters and a ton of depth. Takayo Siddle was an assistant here before going to NC State and he was part of this coaching staff that led the Seahawks to two CAA titles. They have four players averaging double-digit scoring led by Jaylen Sims who is averaging 26.7 ppg. Here, we play on underdogs of 10 to 19.5 points after beating the spread by more than 24 points in their previous game. This situation is 39-17 ATS (69.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (761) UNC-Wilmington Seahawks

This is a play on the LSU TIGERS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. LSU is off to a 2-1 start on the season following a blowout win over Southeastern Louisiana on Monday. The Tigers are averaging 90.3 ppg and they are shooting 51.8 percent from the floor over the three games. Defense was an issue early on but the Tigers utilized more full-court pressure and played more match-up zone while holding the Lions to 26.7 percent. Louisiana Tech is coming in off a 78-62 win over ULM on Thursday to improve to 3-0 and this will be the first road game of the season for the Bulldogs. They went 22-8 last season but have just one starter back. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in a game involving two teams that are outscoring opponents by eight or more ppg, after leading in their previous game by 20 or more points at the half. This situation is 42-11 ATS (79.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (726) LSU Tigers

This is a play on the KANSAS ST. WILDCATS as part of our CBB Saturday Triple Play. UNLV is off to a 0-4 start and only one of those games was competitive, a three-point loss to Davidson. The Rebels are extremely young with only three players that played significant minutes last season. They have only one senior on the roster compared to seven freshmen. Kansas St. is 1-2 and has yet to cover any of those games so we are getting value here. The Wildcats were just 11-21 last season but 10 of those losses were by six points or less and 13 losses were by single digits so they were better than what the record showed. Here, we play on home teams as a favorite or pickem in the first five games of the season, after closing out last season with eight or more losses in their last 10 games and that had a winning percentage between .200 and .400 playing a team that had a winning record last year. This situation is 31-8 ATS (79.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (662) Kansas St. Wildcats

This is a play on the WRIGHT ST. RAIDERS for our CBB Thursday Enforcer. Wright St. is coming off another Horizon League Championship and the Raiders are expected to defend it once again. They have won 20 or more games in four straight seasons under head coach Scott Nagy and they are deep once again with as many as 10 players that could get significant playing time. They have the best player in the conference as Louden Love is the reigning Horizon Conference Player of the Year and if he stays healthy, he is a shoe in for a second straight honor. Marshall is off to a 1-0 start as it defeated Arkansas St. by 14 points. The Thundering Herd are a deep team as well and they are pegged to finish fourth in C-USA yet come in as the road favorite here. The Thundering Herd are 0-6 ATS in their last six games as a road favorite while the Raiders are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games as an underdog. 10* (748) Wright St. Raiders

This is a play on the BAYLOR BEARS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Illinois is off to a 3-0 start following blowout wins over North Carolina A&T and Chicago St. and then narrowly defeating Ohio by two points as a 15.5-point favorite. Baylor has rolled in its first two games, defeating Lafayette by 30 points and taking down Washington by 34 points. The Bears returns 72.6 percent of their minutes and 75.8 percent of their scoring return from last year and entering this game, Baylor is currently ranked second in the AP Poll, which was their spot in the preseason poll. Here, we play against neutral court teams off a home win by 3 points or less, who had a winning percentage between .600 and .800 last season. This situation is 33-9 ATS (78.6 percent) since 1997. 10* (712) Baylor Bears

This is a play on the TOLEDO ROCKETS for our CBB Tuesday Enforcer. Toledo has a big edge here even though it is just 1-2 but those two losses have come by a combined five points. The Rockets are loaded after a rough season last year where injuries played a big role in their worst season since 2013. They have three starters back including a pair of senior guards in Marreon Jackson and Spencer Littleson who averaged a combined 30.3 ppg last season and are averaging 28 ppg through those first three games this season. Toledo looks for its seventh straight win in the head-to-head series over Cleveland St. On the other side, this is the first game of the season for the Vikings which are coming off another disappointing season. They have now won 12 games or less in five straight seasons. Playing the first game of the season against a team that has played three games already is not an easy task especially when travelling. The Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as a favorite. 10* (614) Toledo Rockets

This is a play on the MISSISSIPPI ST. BULLDOGS for our CBB Monday Enforcer. Mississippi St. is off to a 0-2 start as it dropped a pair of games played in Florida to Clemson on Wednesday and Liberty on Thursday. The Bulldogs are coming off a 20-11 season and bring back a good amount from last season. They are back home and laying a good number here. Texas St. is coming off a 75-63 road win at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Saturday to move to 2-0 on the season but this is by far its biggest test to date. The Bobcats are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games against teams with a winning percentage below .400 while the Bulldogs are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up loss. Here, we play against underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points in the first five games of the season, after closing out last season with eight or more wins in their last 10 games, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .600 and .800 from last season. This situation is 79-42 ATS (65.3 percent) since 1997. 10* (872) Mississippi St. Bulldogs

This is a play on the UCLA BRUINS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. UCLA has been picked to win the Pac 12 for the first time since 2011-12 as it returns a huge amount of talent. The Bruins, who finished 19-12 last season, return five starters and added a key transfer in 6-foot-6 shooting guard Johnny Juzang, from Kentucky. UCLA is returning 86.2 percent of its total rebounding production and 91.3 percent of its total assists from last year. UCLA is led by senior shooting guard Chris Smith, who was named the Pac-12 Conference's Most Improved Player of the Year last season after averaging a team-high 13.1 ppg and 5.4 rpg. San Diego St. had a special season going last year before the season was halted as it was 30-2 heading into the MWC Tournament. The Aztecs return only two starters from the team that finished ranked No. 6 nationally. Malachi Flynn, the Mountain West Conference Player of the Year, departed for the NBA and was drafted in the first round by the Toronto Raptors. Yanni Wetzell transferred to Vanderbilt and fellow senior K.J. Feagin is pursuing a professional career in Germany. 10* (685) UCLA Bruins

This is a play on the GEORGE WASHINGTON COLONIALS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. George Washington has a lot of incentive on Wednesday. Not only did the Colonials lose their last five games of the regular season to fall to 6-12 on the season but they lost twice to Fordham this season, the only two conference wins for the Rams. George Washington won five times away from its home floor which is eighth most in the Atlantic Ten. The Colonials have won their opening game in the A-10 Tournament six straight years. As mentioned, Fordham won only two conference games this season while winning just two games away from home. The Rams have been outscored by 11.4 ppg in 12 games away from home. Here, we play on neutral court teams revenging a loss where team scored less than 60 points, off a loss by 10 points or more to a conference rival. This situation is 130-76 ATS (63.1 percent) since 1997. 10* (642) George Washington Colonials

This is a play on the HOFSTRA PRIDE for our CBB Tuesday CAA Championship Winner. This was not the expected matchup for the CAA Championship but Northeastern found a way to make it to the title game after producing a 9-9 regular season record. Hofstra is 25-8 on the season and earned a trip to the title game with a 75-61 win over Delaware in the semifinals. The Pride have cruised through the first two games while Northeastern has had two games that were decided late and the former is far and away the class on this conference. Hofstra is 12-3 all-time when facing a team in the conference tournament it swept during the regular season. The Huskies are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games following a straight up win while the Pride are 24-6-1 ATS in their last 31 games against teams with a winning straight up record. 10* (614) Hofstra Pride

This is a play on the BYU COUGARS for our CBB Monday WCC Tournament Winner. BYU rolls into the WCC semifinals with nine straight wins and has had nine days off to rest and make a push at Gonzaga. The Cougars are guaranteed to make the NCAA Tournament and are currently projected as a No. 5 seed. BYU finished second in the WCC at 13-3, the best win percentage and tied for the most conference wins since joining the league. This is a deep and talented roster that can make some noise going forward as BYU has three players on its roster with 1,000 career points, including two in the top 10 on the BYU career scoring list. The Gaels are the No. 3 seed and defeated No. 6 seed Saturday night in double overtime to advance to Monday's semifinal matchup. They had another solid season overall but struggles away from home with their defense as they allowed 74.7 ppg on 47 percent shooting. Here, we play on neutral court teams as a favorite or pick in a game involving two teams allowing between 67 and 74 ppg, after three straight wins by 10 points or more. This situation is 76-33 ATS (69.7 percent) since 1997. 10* (894) BYU Cougars

This is a play on the MARYLAND TERRAPINS for our CBB Sunday Afternoon Dominator. Maryland has lost two straight games and has failed to cover in five straight games with a lot on the line for Sunday. With a win, the Terrapins would claim their first Big Ten Championship and first conference title since winning the ACC regular season in 2009-10. This is their final home game where they are 15-1 on the season, the lone loss coming against Michigan St. last time out so they will be out to close the home slate with a big win and everything that comes with it. The Terrapins are 45-7 overall at home since the start of 2017-18, and those 45 home wins are the most in the Big Ten since the start of the 2017-18 season. Michigan had lost two straight games but rolled to a 24-point win over 2-17 Nebraska which is not saying a lot. The Wolverines are just 4-6 on the road and it is 1-8 ATS in its last nine games after covering six or seven of its last eight games against the spread. 10* (832) Maryland Terrapins

This is a play on the FULLERTON ST. TITANS for our CBB Saturday Last Chance Cash, Fullerton St. has lost four straight games including the last three on the road and it looks to wrap up the Big West with a .500 record at home. This is a big game for the Titans as a win guarantees them a spot in the upcoming Big West Conference Tournament as a loss here and a win from Cal Poly knocks them out due to tiebreakers. Overall, the Titans have has struggled to score, combining to shoot just 43.1 percent from the field, 32.9 percent from three and 67.3 percent from the free-throw line against Division I opponents. That should change here however as Long Beach St. is allowing significantly bigger numbers than those as well as allowing 75.1 ppg including 80 ppg on the road. Long Beach St. is 11-20 including a 6-9 conference record and a Fullerton win would knock the 49ers into the No. 8 spot after losing both meetings to the Titans. 10* (708) Fullerton St. Titans

This is a play on the CLEMSON TIGERS for our CBB Friday Star Attraction. The Tigers will look to move to .500 in conference play with its 10th win in the ACC and lock down a tie for fifth place in the conference. They are coming off a loss at Virginia Tech on Wednesday as they closed just 3-8 in true road games. Clemson has won six of its last seven home games to move to 11-5 on the season. With the most recent win over Florida St., the Tigers earned their third Top-6 ranked win of the season and now leads the country in Top-6 victories. While Georgia Tech is not part of that group, it shows how good the Tigers are capable of playing and we should see that in their final home game of the season. Georgia Tech has won three straight games to improve to 10-9 in the ACC but all three of those games were at home. The Yellow Jackets are just 5-7 on the road and their three most recent wins have come against teams with seven or fewer conference wins. Clemson will be out to avenge a nine-point loss at Georgia Tech late last month. 10* (854) Clemson Tigers

This is a play on the DRAKE BULLDOGS for our CBB MVC Tournament Winner. Of the lower half of the MVC teams that could make a run in the tournament, Drake could be just that team. The Bulldogs were picked to finish fourth in the conference and they were sitting at 8-7 with three games left with a chance to move up to get a bye but they lost those final three games. They were blown out in their last game against Northern Iowa but that game meant nothing. Six of the 10 losses were decided late so the season could have been better but there is still time for a late run. Additionally, in the 10 Drake losses, the Bulldogs have shot 45.6 percent (232-of-527) and have shot better or even than its opponent in six of its 10 MVC losses. Illinois St. struggled for consistency this season and it has just one win away from its home floor as it is 1-14 outside of Normal, IL. The Redbirds are coming off a win in their last game but that was against 0-18 Evansville and they are 0-8 in their last eight games following a win. 10* (712) Drake Bulldogs

This is a play on the ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS for our CBB Wednesday Star Attraction. Arkansas is coming off a loss at Georgia to fall to 6-10 in the SEC which snapped a two-game winning streak. Of those 10 losses, seven have come by single-digits including four by four points or less, two of which came in overtime so things could be a lot better. Prior to the two-game winning streak, Arkansas had lost five straight games but those all took place without Isaiah Joe who is averaging 16.9 ppg but he has returned. The Razorbacks are 13-4 at home this season while outscoring opponents by 13.5 ppg. Arkansas only commits 11.9 tpg on the season and just 10.6 in SEC play, both are the fewest in SEC, while forcing a league-best 16.63 tpg. Additionally, the Razorbacks are ranked 9th in the nation and they lead the SEC in turnover margin at +4.7. LSU rolled over Texas A&M on Saturday to move into a tie with Auburn for second place in the SEC. The Tigers are just 5-5 on the road including a 3-4 record in the conference. Of the 13 SEC wins, seven have come by four points or less. 10* (760) Arkansas Razorbacks

This is a play on the IOWA HAWKEYES as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. Iowa defeated Penn St. on Saturday to move into a tie with the Nittany Lions for fifth place in the Big Ten. The Hawkeyes will be playing their final home game of the season, making it Senior Night for three players and a manager. Iowa is 14-1 at home this year, winning its last 13 contests inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The Hawkeyes own eight Quad 1 wins and five Quad 2 victories. The 13 combined victories are third most in the Big Ten. Iowa leads the Big Ten in scoring offense at 78.1 ppg and has led the conference in scoring two of the last six previous seasons, including last year. Also, in Big Ten games only, Iowa leads the conference in scoring at 76.5 ppg, and assists at 16.7 apg. Purdue enters Tuesday's game having lost four of its last five contests. The Boilermakers are 11-4 at home this season, but 3-8 in true road games. Big time revenge is in play on Tuesday as Iowa lost the first meeting in West Lafayette 36 points. 10* (648) Iowa Hawkeyes

This is a play on the BAYLOR BEARS for our CBB Monday Star Attraction. Former No. 1 Baylor had a tough week as it went just 1-2 including a rough loss at TCU on Saturday but it remains No. 2 in the polls yet a chance of winning the Big XII seems unlikely at this point but there is reason to keep going as a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament is on the line. The Bears have one of the most underrated home courts in all of basketball as they 13-1 at home this season and has trailed by more than two points in only one home game which came in the loss against Kansas. They have dominated all season as Baylor has built a double-digit lead in 24 of 28 games, while the Bears have trailed by double-digits only three times all season. Baylor ranks 5th nationally in scoring defense at 59.3 ppg and 10th nationally in scoring margin at +12.1 ppg. Texas Tech has dropped two straight games but still sits in third place in the Big XII. The Red Raiders are just 3-6 on the road with the best win coming against 8-8 Texas. 10* (864) Baylor Bears

This is a play on the SMU MUSTANGS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Fourth place is on the line Sunday when Wichita St. heads to Dallas to take on SMU. The Mustangs improved to 15-1 at Moody Coliseum this season with a 58-53 win over Memphis on Tuesday and Sunday marks their final home game of the season. They have been one of the most efficient teams in the AAC on both sides of the ball but have had some bad luck on the road. SMU is leading the AAC in scoring (74.4), field goal percentage (45.4%), free-throw percentage (77.1%, 17th NCAA), assists (15.9, 18th NCAA), assist-to-turnover ratio (1.2) and threes made (8.1). Additionally, the defense has been solid, holding 10 of 16 opponents at home to less than 40 percent shooting. SMU is 53-3 under head coach Tim Jankovich, and 12-0 this season, when holding opponents at or below 40 percent. This is key considering that Wichita St. is shooting just 37.4 percent on the road. The Shockers are just 4-4 on the road including a 3-4 record in the AAC with the three wins coming against losing teams. 10* (834) SMU Mustangs

This is a play on the BUTLER BULLDOGS for our CBB Game of the Year. Butler is 19-9 overall and 7-8 in the Big East Conference and the Bulldogs are currently tied for sixth in the conference standings. The top six teams in the standings get a bye into the quarterfinals of the Big East Tournament so this is a big stretch of the final three games. If Butler wins out, it is guaranteed at least a sixth place finish since it is tied with Xavier and it faces the Musketeers in the final game of the season. According to KenPom, Butler's schedule is the 15th-most difficult in the country. The Bulldogs have eight NET Quad 1 wins and a combined 13 NET Quad 1 and 2 wins. The eight NET Quad 1 wins are tied for fifth nationally, while the 13 NET Quad 1 and 2 wins are tied for sixth in the nation. This is a big revenge game as behind 10-of-17 shooting from behind the arc and 32 free throw attempts, DePaul was able to knock off then fifth-ranked Butler, 79-66. Prior to DePaul's win last month, Butler had won 11 straight match-ups in the series. DePaul comes in with a 14-14 record including a 2-13 record in the conference. The Blue Demons are 0-7 on the road in the Big East. 10* (730) Butler Bulldogs

This is a play on the NORTHERN KENTUCKY NORSE for our CBB Friday Star Attraction. Northern Kentucky hosts Wright St. with the Horizon League regular-season title on the line in the final regular season game for both teams. The Norse won for the 12th time in their last 14 games with a 61-59 victory at Youngstown St. last Saturday. Northern Kentucky is 11-3 at home this year and 52-8 since the start of the 2016-17 season. The Norse lost their last home game on February 16th against Illinois-Chicago by 30 points as the offense was held to just 43 points so they will want to make up for that, especially on Senior Night. Additionally, when the teams met in January, the Northern Kentucky five-game winning streak was snapped in the 95-63 setback at Wright St. so big time revenge is in play tonight. Wright St. won its last game at Cleveland St. in overtime to maintain its one-game lead in the conference. While the Raiders are 8-3 on the road, they are just 2-3 over their last five road games with both wins coming against teams with a losing record. 10* (854) Northern Kentucky Norse

This is a play on the PURDUE BOILERMAKERS for our CBB Thursday Star Attraction. Purdue has lost four straight games including two on the road and two home losses against No. 16 Penn St. and No. 19 Michigan. The Boilermakers have fallen to 7-10 in the Big Ten but they remain at home where they are 10-4 with the only other conference loss coming against 10-6 Illinois. Purdue's 16 games against Quad-1 opponents are the most in the country and Indiana will be Quad-1 opponent number 17. Since the start of last year, Purdue has held 19 of 29 opponents at Mackey Arena under 40.0 percent shooting. Indiana has won and covered two straight games to move to 8-8 in the Big Ten. The Hoosiers are just 2-6 on the road with two wins coming against teams a combined 9-23 in the conference. The last victory for Purdue came against Indiana earlier this month and while revenge is in play for the Hoosiers, road revenge is not an option here. 10* (616) Purdue Boilermakers

This is a play on the FLORIDA GATORS as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. Florida and LSU face off for the second time this season, in a game that figures to have significant bearing on the SEC Conference Tournament seeding, what with the Tigers currently tied with Auburn for second in the standings (two games behind Kentucky) and the Gators, alone in fourth place (just one game out of second). Florida is coming off a solid effort at Kentucky but fell short as it lost by six points, snapping a three-game winning streak and a 5-1 run. The Gators have won three straight at home and are 10-3 at home on the season. Florida lost a tough one at LSU last month by a bucket and avenging that loss is priority. LSU won a big one on the road Saturday night at South Carolina, building a 19-point second-half lead and getting out of town with an 86-80 victory that stopped the bleeding of a run of four losses over the previous five SEC games. The Tigers are 5-4 on the road but only one of the conference wins was by more than six points. 10* (842) Florida Gators

This is a play on the MISSISSIPPI ST. BULLDOGS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. Mississippi St. is coming off a loss at Texas A&M on Saturday which snapped a two-game winning streak. It is now 8-6 in the conference and the Bulldogs enter this week's action in a three-way tie with South Carolina and Texas A&M for fifth place in the SEC standings. The trio trails Florida by one game for the last double bye at next month's SEC Tournament. The Bulldogs are three wins shy of coming away with their third consecutive season with 20-plus victories. The last time Mississippi St. accomplished the feat was in 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons. The Bulldogs have won six straight conference home games. Alabama is coming off an upset win at Mississippi by 25 points and that was just the third conference road win for the Tide. The other two came against 4-10 Georgia in overtime and 1-13 Vanderbilt. Mississippi St. is playing with revenge from a 21-point loss last month. 10* (644) Mississippi St. Bulldogs

This is a play on the WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINEERS for our CBB Monday Star Attraction. After to losing at TCU on Saturday, this game is important for West Virginia if it wants to avoid finishing outside of the top six in the conference standings and playing a Wednesday night game in the Big XII Tournament. Right now, the Mountaineers are in decent shape in fourth place, two games behind Texas Tech. But Oklahoma, Texas and TCU are just a game behind West Virginia so this one needs to be had. The Mountaineers have lost and not covered five straight road games but those are the streaks we love to go against. We played against Texas on Saturday as it went on to win at Kansas St. to improve to 6-8 in the Big XII and 16-11 overall. The Longhorns return home where they have lost three of their last five games and Texas is 1-8 ATS in its last nine games coming off a road win. 10* (871) West Virginia Mountaineers

This is a play on the UTAH UTES for our CBB Sunday Late Afternoon Cash. Utah is coming off a rare home loss on Thursday as it fell to UCLA by 11 points. The Utes are on the road but they are 10-2 at home with the only other loss coming against 20-7 Oregon. The home team is 18-3 in Utah games this season including a 12-2 record in the Pac 12. They are +14.6 ppg in scoring differential at home. Utah is tied with Arizona and Arizona St. with seven Quad 1 and Quad 2 victories according to the NET Rankings, which is the third highest total in the Pac 12. The Utes will out for revenge stemming from a tough four-point loss in Southern California at the end of January. USC put up a good fight at Colorado on Thursday but eventually lost by four points. The Trojans have covered five straight games which is definitely playing into this number. They are just 5-5 on the road which includes a 3-5 record in Pac 12 play which also includes three consecutive losses. 10* (864) Utah Utes

This is a play on the PURDUE BOILERMAKERS as part of our CBB Saturday Early Afternoon Trifecta. Purdue has lost three straight games including the last two on the road and the one home loss came against No. 9 Penn St. The Boilermakers have fallen to 7-9 in the Big Ten but they head back home where they are 10-3 with the only other conference loss coming against 9-6 Illinois. Purdue's 15 games against Quad-1 opponents are the most in the country. Michigan will be Quad-1 opponent number 16. Since the start of last year, Purdue has held 18 of 28 opponents at Mackey Arena under 40.0 percent shooting. Michigan has been one of the hotter teams in the Big Ten as it has won four straight and six of its last seven games. The Wolverines are still just 8-7 in the Big Ten and while they are 13-4 at home, they are just 3-5 on the road with two of the wins coming at 1-13 Northwestern and 2-12 Nebraska. 10* (634) Purdue Boilermakers

This is a play on the ST. LOUIS BILLIKENS for our CBB Friday Enforcer. St. Louis is coming of a loss at Massachusetts to make it three losses in its last four games. St. Louis led by as many as 16 in the first half and had a seven-point lead at halftime, but the Minutemen shot 57.7 percent from the field in second half for the victory The Billikens are now 7-6 in the Atlantic Ten Conference which is good for a tie for sixth place. They head home where they are 12-3 with two of those losses coming against conference leaders Dayton and Seton Hall. St. Louis is still alive for a top four finish in the league, which would result in a double-bye in the conference tournament. VCU is part of that three-team group at 7-6 in the conference so this is a big game for the Rams as well. They are riding a three-game losing streak including two games at home and they hit the road where they are just 4-4 including a 3-3 record in the conference but those three wins came against teams that are a combined 7-32. 10* (874) St. Louis Billikens

This is a play on the IOWA HAWKEYES as part of our CBB Thursday Trifecta. Iowa is coming off a win at Minnesota on Sunday which snapped a three-game conference road losing streak. Iowa registered its sixth victory away from home despite scoring a season-low 58 points. The Hawkeyes enter Thursday's game having won eight of their last 11 contests to improve to 9-6 in the Big Ten which is good for a tie for third place with four other teams. Iowa is 12-1 at home, winning its last 11 straight at Carver-Hawkeye Arena since its only loss to DePaul. Iowa leads the Big Ten in scoring offense at 78.2 ppg. Also, in Big Ten games only, Iowa leads the league in scoring at 76.5 ppg, field goal percentage (.444), and assists (16.5).

This is a play on the RUTGERS SCARLET KNIGHTS as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. Rutgers moved to 9-6 in the Big Ten with a win over Illinois on Saturday and those nine conference wins are the most in league play since 1998-99 when it went 9-9 in the Big East. The Scarlet Knights' remaining schedule ranks second nationally in difficulty per the ESPN BPI. Rutgers has a nation's-best 17-0 home record this season. The last Big Ten program to boast a 17-0 home record was Indiana in 2015-16. Michigan defeated Rutgers in the first meeting earlier this month so this is a revenge game for the Scarlet Knights. Michigan has won and covered three straight games while also winning five of its last six contests. The Wolverines are still just 7-7 in the Big Ten and while they are 13-4 at home, they are just 2-5 on the road with the wins coming at 1-13 Northwestern and 2-12 Nebraska. 10* (784) Rutgers Scarlet Knights

This is a play on the WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINEERS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. The Mountaineers have lost three straight, two coming against the No. 1 and No. 3 ranked teams in the country, and there will be lineup changes to try and generate some more offense from a team averaging just 55.7 ppg in its last three games. West Virginia failed to hit a field goal in the last five minutes of the Kansas loss and went nearly 10 minutes in the second half before scoring a basket against Baylor. The Mountaineers return home where they are 12-1 and look to improve up their 6-6 Big XII record. In the latest NET rankings released this week by the NCAA, West Virginia checked in at No. 10. The Cowboys are coming off an impressive 73-70 victory over then 24th-ranked Texas Tech on Saturday in Stillwater to improve to 3-9 in the conference after a 0-8 start. Oklahoma St. has covered its last four games but comes in with just one Big XII road win. 10* (616) West Virginia Mountaineers

This is a play on the ST. JOHN'S RED STORM for our CBB Monday Enforcer. St. John's is coming off a win over Providence on Wednesday to move to 3-9 in the Big East Conference and it looks to keep the momentum going on Monday. After forcing a season-low eight turnovers in a loss at Creighton on Feb. 8, the Red Storm turned 23 Providence turnovers into 22 points during their 80-69 victory. St. John's is 11-5 at home and the Red Storm are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games as a home underdog. They will look to avenge a Jan. 5 loss to the Musketeers in Cincinnati during which they made just one of their 16 attempts from beyond the arc.

The Musketeers are still just 5-7 in the conference and they come in just 3-5 on the road. Xavier is 1-5 ATS in its last six games as a road favorite. 10* (862) St. John's Red Storm

This is a play on the INDIANA ST. SYCAMORES for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Indiana St. is coming off a pair of losses to fall to 7-6 in the conference but both of those were on the road where the Sycamores are 2-8 on the season. Indiana St. improved to a perfect 10-0 at home by defeating the Ramblers 68-39 on February 5. The Sycamores' home court winning streak has hit 12 games dating back to February 20, 2019 and that is tied for 15th best in the country. The Sycamores have hit 38.9 percent of their three-pointers this season which is not only second-best in the Missouri Valley Conference but is ninth-best in the country. Missouri St. hits the road following a 35-point win over Drake to improve to 6-7 in the MVC. The venue has played a big role in its success however as the Bears are just 2-4 on the road in the conference with the two wins coming against 0-13 Evansville and 3-10 Illinois St. 10* (844) Indiana St. Sycamores

This is a play on the SOUTHERN ILLINOIS SALUKIES for our CBB Saturday Afternoon Dominator. Southern Illinois had its seven-game winning streak snapped with a loss at Valparaiso on Wednesday. The Salukis are 9-4 in the MVC, the program's best MVC start through 13 games since 2006-07. Southern Illinois has a 10-game home court winning streak, the longest for the program since a 15-game home winning streak spanned parts of three seasons (end of 2005-06 through beginning of 2007-08). The Salukis are ranked ninth nationally in scoring defense, allowing just 60.8 ppg while also ranking top-50 nationally in fewest fouls per game (14th) and three-point field goal percentage defense (46th). Bradley has won two straight games to improve to 8-5 in the conference. Both of those wins were at home however and the Braves come in just 2-7 on the road. 10* (642) Southern Illinois Salukis

This is a play on the TOLEDO ROCKETS for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Toledo snapped a five-game losing streak with a win over Miami Ohio on Tuesday but still failed to cover the number which makes it six straight non-covers. The Rockets are a disappointing 4-8 in the MAC after opening the season with lofty expectations but with six games left and the MAC Tournament, there is still hope. Closing games has been the issue as seven of the Rockets losses in conference play have been by seven points or less. Toledo is 1-10 this season in games decided by seven points or less so the record could be a lot better. The Rockets are outscoring opponents by nearly 10 ppg at home. Buffalo is coming off a home win over Central Michigan and it has been a pretty uneven run as the Bulls are just 2-3 over their last five games. They are 4-3 on the road which is respectable but go into a tough spot as Toledo is playing with revenge from a loss here nearly one year ago to the day. 10* (880) Toledo Rockets

This is a play on the WICHITA ST. SHOCKERS as part of our CBB Early Thursday Trifecta. Wichita St. has lost three straight games to fall to 5-5 in the AAC but those three losses came against the top three teams in the conference. Two of those came on last-second shots. At Tulsa, Wichita St. fell 54-51 on a three-point buzzer-beater and then five days later, a three-point play with 3.5 seconds to go lifted Cincinnati to an 80-79 win. The Shockers are ranked among the national leaders in offensive rebounding (27th, 12.61), turnover margin (31st, +3.0), and field goal percentage defense (36th, .396). KenPom rates the defense 18th in defensive efficiency. Central Florida has won two straight games to move to 4-7 in the conference. The Knights are 8-4 at home but that includes just a 2-3 record in the AAC and despite the winning record overall, they are just +1.6 ppg in scoring differential. 10* (623) Wichita St. Shockers

This is a play on the UNLV RUNNIN' REBELS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. UNLV snapped a four-game losing streak with a win over Fresno St. on Saturday but it was not easy as the Rebels held on for a one-point win. The Rebels four-game skid was not ideal but the losses came against four of the top five teams in the conference and three of those were on the road. The first loss in that skid came at Nevada by 14 points so they will be out for revenge tonight. UNLV has won seven of its last eight home games with the lone loss coming against 23-0 San Diego St. UNLV ranks No. 1 or No. 2 in the MWC for conference-only games in rebounding, rebound margin, offensive rebounds and defensive rebounds. The Wolf Pack have won two straight games but those were at home against San Jose St. and Air Force which are both 3-9. The home team has won the last 12 Nevada games and it is 0-5 in its five road games over this span. 10* (854) UNLV Runnin' Rebels

This is a play on the COLORADO ST. RAMS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. Colorado St. has won three straight games and eight of its last nine to improve to 8-4 in the Mountain West Conference which is good for second place. The recent five-game win streak was the longest for Colorado St. since the Rams won seven straight during 2016-17. They are 10-3 at home including six straight wins and they are 5-0 within the conference with those wins coming by 16 ppg. Colorado St. lost at Utah St. just over two weeks ago by 16 points which is the only defeat since January 1st so revenge is in play. Utah St. has won two straight games and five of its last six to sit in a tie for third place in the conference. The Aggies have taken care of business at home where they are 13-1 but they are just 2-5 on the road which includes a 2-4 record in the MVC. Those two road wins came against 1-12 Wyoming and 3-9 San Jose St. 10* (642) Colorado St. Rams

This is a play on the TEXAS LONGHORNS for our CBB Monday Star Attraction. Texas is coming off a loss against Texas Tech on Saturday which was its second straight loss following an 11-point defeat at Kansas last Monday. The Longhorns are now 14-9 overall including 4-6 in the Big XII so they need a few quality wins to close out the season for a shot at the NCAA Tournament. Texas is 61-24 at home during the Shaka Smart era including 9-4 in 2019-20. Th e Longhorns are 6-3 in their last nine home games against AP Top 20 opponents. Texas has held its first 23 opponents to an average of 63.8 ppg on a combined 42.3 percent shooting, including a 33.1 percent mark from three-point range. Baylor is the consensus No. 1 team in the country so it will be a very public play here after winning 20 straight games. Baylor won the first meeting at home by 15 points as an 8.5-point favorite and now it is favored by a slightly lesser amount on the road. 10* (870) Texas Longhorns

This is a play on the CLEMSON TIGERS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Clemson is coming off a loss at Virginia on Wednesday, its second straight loss both of which have come on the road. The Tigers are now just 5-7 in the ACC but six of the final eight games are more than winnable and the other two against Louisville and Florida St. are both at home. Clemson is 9-4 at home this season, including 4-2 in league play. The Tigers have won four-straight at home including key wins over NC State, Duke and Syracuse. Clemson has been bitten by the injury bug in 2019, having many key players miss time due to injuries, which includes three starting players, but it is as healthy as it has been since early in the season. Notre Dame has won three straight and covered four straight games. The last three have come at home where they were significant favorites and the Irish are just 2-4 on the road with the two wins by a combined five points. 10* (858) Clemson Tigers

This is a play on the IOWA ST. CYCLONES as part of our CBB Saturday Late Afternoon Trifecta. Iowa St. returns home looking to snap a four-game slide.

Three of the four losses have come on the road while the lone home defeat came against No. 1 Baylor. Iowa St. is 8-4 at home this season and the Cyclones have won 73 of their last 94 games at home, including 36 of 52 conference games. The only other conference loss at home came against No. 3 Kansas. Kansas St. has lost two straight and three of its last four games but has covered all four of those which is adding considerable value in this number. The Wildcats are just 1-5 on the highway including 0-4 on the road in the Big XII. 10* (784) Iowa St. Cyclones

This is a play on the ILLINOIS FIGHTING ILLINI for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Illinois is coming off a loss at Iowa at Iowa on Sunday which snapped its seven-game conference winning streak, its longest conference winning streak in 15 years. The Illini have just one loss at State Farm Center this season and is 12-1 at home for the first time since 2014-15. Illinois owns the largest turnaround this season among schools from the six major conferences (+10.0), and is tied for fourth in all of Div. I for most improved teams. Defense has been the story as Illinois leads the Big Ten in scoring defense during league play, allowing 60.1 ppg. Maryland is tied with the Illini for first place in the Big Ten as it has reeled off five straight wins. This includes tow wins on the road but those came against 5-6 Indiana and 1-10 Northwestern. The Terrapins are just 2-4 on the road with three of those losses coming in conference play. 10* (872) Illinois Fighting Illini

This is a play on the WICHITA ST. SHOCKERS for our CBB Thursday Enforcer. Wichita St. fell to 5-3 in the AAC following a loss at Tulsa on Saturday which improved to 7-1 on the season. Tulsa won it at the buzzer on a desperation heave. A win would have forced a four-way tie atop the standings. Instead, the Shockers entered the week two games back of the first-place Hurricane in the loss column. The Shockers head home where they are 13-1 on he season with the lone loss coming against Houston. Wichita St. has held 16 of its 21 opponents under 40 percent from the field. The Shockers are 15-1 in those games with the lone loss coming last Saturday at Tulsa. Cincinnati has won four straight games to move into a tie for second place in the conference. While sitting 12-1 at home, the Bearcats are just 2-4 on the road with the wins coming against losing teams. 10* (628) Wichita St. Shockers

This is a play on the MISSISSIPPI REBELS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Mississippi has lost two straight games against two of the top three teams in the conference, LSU and Auburn. The Rebels are just 1-7 in the SEC but five of those games have been on the road and the three home losses came by four points or less including one by a point in overtime against LSU. Under second year head coach Kermit Davis, the Rebels are 18-9 at home including 7-4 this season. This is the first of three straight home games. Balance is the key as all five Rebels starters are averaging double-digits in scoring in their wins but only two are averaging that in their losses. South Carolina enters Wednesday with a 13-8 record, including a 5-3 mark in conference play. The Gamecocks are riding a three-game winning streak with victories over Vanderbilt, Arkansas and Missouri which are a combined 6-18 in the SEC. 10* (808) Mississippi Rebels

This is a play on the KENTUCKY WILDCATS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. The Wildcats are coming off a loss at Auburn on Saturday to fall to 6-2 in the SEC. Kentucky has won eight of its last 10 games and is playing like one of the best teams in the country against a difficult recent schedule. In Saturday's loss to Auburn, the Tigers made 33 of 44 free throws. It was the most free-throw attempts by an opponent since Jan. 30, 2016 and the most makes of the John Calipari era. The Wildcats are 53-13 all-time in games under Calipari following a loss. They are 12-1 with the only defeat coming way back in early November. Mississippi St. heads to Lexington at the wrong time even though it is on a confidence-building run. The Bulldogs have won five of their last six games after starting 0-3 in the SEC and they have now covered seven straight games. They come into Tuesday just 2-3 on the road. 10* (636) Kentucky Wildcats

This is a play on the NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS for our CBB Monday Enforcer. North Carolina had a two-game winning streak snapped with a loss to Boston College on Saturday to fall to 10-11 overall and 3-7 in the ACC. This is its fewest wins through 10 conference games since going 3-7 in 2009-10. Freshman point guard Cole Anthony made his return by scoring 26 points in 26 minutes after missing 11 games and we expect the team to show some more chemistry in his second game back. The Tar Heels lead the nation in rebounds per game (43.5) and are fifth in rebound margin (+9.4) and fifth in offensive rebounds per game (14.1). Florida St. improved to 8-2 in the ACC and 18-3 overall with a win at Virginia Tech on Saturday. Five of the last seven games have been on the road but the two home wins came by a combined five points. 10* (861) North Carolina Tar Heels

This is a play on the UCLA BRUINS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. We won with UCLA on Thursday and we will back them again today as the victory over Colorado can be a big momentum builder leading into the second half of the conference season. The Bruins are now 11-10 overall and 4-4 in the Pac 12 which puts them just 1.5 games out of third place. As was the case with Colorado, Utah does not have a good offense away from home as it is averaging just 63.5 ppg and UCLA is now 11-0 on the season when holding the opposition to 73 points or less. Another big factor here is rebounding as UCLA has outrebounded the opposition in 19 of 21 games. The Utes are coming off a loss at USC on Thursday to fall to 3-5 in the conference and they are just 1-5 on the road with the only win coming at Nevada in their first game of the season. 10* (854) UCLA Bruins

This is a play on the DRAKE BULLDOGS as part of our CBB Saturday Late Afternoon Trifecta. Drake lost at Indiana St. on Wednesday to snap a two-game winning streak. The Bulldogs shot 47.6 percent, its third-highest percentage in a loss this season and they head back home where they have been dominant. The Bulldogs own a 15-game home win streak in the Knapp Center and that win streak is the ninth-longest in the nation as Drake is 11-0 at home this season while averaging nearly 80 ppg at the Knapp Center. A win here would put them into at least a tie for third place in the MVC. Southern Illinois hits the road as the hottest team in the league, with four straight wins. That streak began with a 66-49 victory over Drake, Jan. 19 so revenge is in play. The Salukis are 1-7 on the road, the only win coming at 2-7 Illinois St. 10* (740) Drake Bulldogs

This is a play on the RHODE ISLAND RAMS for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Rhode Island enters the game Friday on a seven-game winning streak as it lost its Atlantic Ten opener to Richmond but has not lost since.

At home, they have been dominant as they are 9-1 with the lone loss being that Richmond game and on the season, they are outscoring opponents by 8.5 ppg on their home floor. While VCU looms a game back in the conference standings, Rhode Island has won seven of the last eight contests in the series, including a 65-56 victory at VCU on Jan. 11. The Rams are playing well also as they have won four straight games following a pair of losses against Rhode Island and Dayton.

This is a play on the FLORIDA ATLANTIC OWLS as part of our CBB Thursday Trifecta. Florida Atlantic is riding a three-game losing streak including a pair of losses on the road in its last two games. The home loss came against UAB by just three points and the Owls come in with a 10-2 record at home. The only other loss at home came against St. Bonaventure by seven points. This team is extremely balanced as the Owls have had six different players lead the team in scoring and 11 different players have had double-digit scoring games so far this season. The Hilltoppers have won their last five games, including back-to-back wins over Marshall. Western Kentucky is a half-game behind North Texas for first place in C-USA thanks to a 4-0 record at home within the conference. The road win over Marshall was by just four points and the only other road win came at 1-7 Middle Tennessee St. 10* (616) Florida Atlantic Owls

This is a play on the TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. The Red Raiders are 9-2 at home this season after falling 76-74 in overtime to No. 13 Kentucky in a Big 12/SEC Challenge battle.

Texas Tech enters this week ranked 17th nationally with 17.53 turnovers forced per game, 19th in the nation with 16.3 apg and 21st with a 3.6 turnover margin. West Virginia is coming off a 23-point win over Missouri on Saturday to make it a 5-1 run over its last six games.

This is a play on the RUTGERS SCARLET KNIGHTS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. It has been a special season for Rutgers as it continues to fly under the radar. A victory would move the Rutgers home record to 15-0, tying the Boilermakers' Big Ten-best home record last season. The home floor is a big advantage, especially for a team that normally has not been good and Rutgers has a +17.1 ppg scoring margin, a +10.2 rebounding advantage and has limited visitors to 35.6 percent shooting at the RAC. The Scarlet Knights have an opportunity to go four games over .500 in conference play for the first time since the 1998-99 Big East campaign (9-5). A win would also provide Rutgers its most season victories since 2005-06 (19-14). Purdue rolled over Wisconsin in its last game but hits the road where it is 0-4 in the Big Ten. 10* (628) Rutgers Scarlet Knights

This is a play on the NC STATE WOLFPACK for our CBB Monday Enforcer. NC State had its three-game win streak snapped with a 64-58 loss to Georgia Tech on Saturday afternoon. It heads home with an 11-game winning streak where it is outscoring opponents by 14.4 ppg. Defensively is where the Wolfpack have been picking it up as they have held five straight opponents to under their season field goal percentage. Before Georgia Tech, NC State went through stretch of holding four consecutive ACC opponents to under 40 percent shooting and that was the first time it had held four consecutive conference opponents to shooting percentages in the 30s in more than 30 years. North Carolina snapped a five-game losing streak with a win over Miami on Saturday but that was at home and now the Tar Heels hit the road where they are 0-4 on the season. 10* (866) NC State Wolfpack

Northern Iowa averages 75.3 ppg in MVC play, leading the league in scoring through seven games. The Panthers are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven games against teams with a winning straight up record.

William & Mary suffered its first conference loss last Saturday as it got blown out at Drexel by 27 points but bounced back with a 13-point win against James Madison on Thursday.

According to KenPom, the Tribe ranks 22nd nationally in effective field goal percentage at 54.4 and they are second in the CAA in this category as well as effective field goal percentage defense. Towson is tied for third place in the conference at 5-3 thanks to five straight wins.

This is a play on the PROVIDENCE FRIARS for our Big East Game of the Year. Providence opened Big East play with a 4-1 record but has dropped its last two games, a pair of single-point setbacks to Creighton and most recently to 7-0 Seton Hall. The Friars are 8-2 at home with the losses coming against Butler and Penn and the three-point shooting has played a big role in the results. The Friars are shooting 36.6 percent (79-210) from three-point territory at home (10 games) and 29.1 percent (58-199) in nine games away from the Dunkin' Donuts Center. Additionally, the Friars are ranked second in the Big East in turnover margin at +2.7. Villanova comes in riding a five-game winning streak but the last four have come at home so this marks the Wildcats first road game in 2.5 weeks.

Ohio St. is No. 2 nationally for the most home wins with a 171-31 (.847) record since the 2009-10 season. The Buckeyes are outscoring opponents by 20.2 ppg as the defense is allowing just 57.3 ppg on 35.1 percent shooting. Minnesota enters the game with the Buckeyes at 10-8 overall and a 4-4 record in the Big Ten. The Gophers are 5-3 since downing the Buckeyes December 15th in Minneapolis earlier this season by 13 points so revenge is in play on Thursday.

Those losses were both on the road however and Auburn is a perfect 9-0 at home. The Tigers are 26-3 since Feb. 27 last season. That record is the third best record in the country over that stretch. Auburn has played nine opponents picked to finish in the top three of its league. South Carolina picked up an upset win over Kentucky at home and did not letdown from that as it went on the road and defeated Texas A&M last Saturday by 14 points.

This is a play on the ST. JOHNS RED STORM for our CBB Saturday Afternoon Dominator. Seton Hall leads the Big East with a 5-0 record which is no surprise as the Pirates were the preseason favorites to win the conference. They have won seven straight games while covering everyone of those as well so the value is shifting when this success takes place.

Three of those losses came on the road while the one loss came at home to 15-2 Butler by just two points.

The losing record is not appealing but Davidson played 11 of its first 14 games away from Belk Arena. The Wildcats are 4-2 at home with the losses coming against Auburn and Wake Forest and going back, the Wildcats have won 29 of their last 32 games at Belk Arena. Richmond is coming off a loss against St. Louis which snapped a two-game winning streak as the Spiders are now 2-1 in the Atlantic Ten.

The Panthers are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games as a road underdog. Miami has won five straight games before facing Duke and Louisville, two of the three best teams in the conference, and getting blown out in both. The other conference loss was also against Louisville to open the season. The Hurricanes were big underdogs in both of those but now they are laying a short price and are 4-1 ATS as favorites this season. The Hurricanes are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss. 10* (846) Miami Hurricanes

This is a play on the TEMPLE OWLS for our CBB Saturday Afternoon Dominator. We played on Temple earlier this week but failed to make the cover as a home underdog against Houston which was its second straight loss but the Owls are in prime position today. The Owls are 4-2 at home with the two losses coming against Missouri and Miami. Temple has been one of the top teams in the country defensively this season and currently ranks second in the AAC and ranks 22nd nationally in field goal percentage defense at 38.1 percent. Tulane, under the direction of new coach Ron Hunter, has already doubled its win total from the 2018-19 campaign and snapped a 20-game AAC regular season losing streak when it defeated Cincinnati, 76-71 a week ago. The Green Wave followed that up with a loss at Connecticut and we expect a regression here. 10* (616)Temple Owls

This is a play on the IOWA HAWKEYES for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Maryland has won three straight games including a pair of impressive wins over Indiana and Ohio St. by double-digits. Those games were both at home however and the Terrapins are 0-2 this season in true road games, losing at Penn St. and Seton Hall. They are 3-2 in the conference which is good for second place but has a tough spot here. The Terrapins are 1-4 ATS in their last five games as a road favorite. Iowa was on a four-game winning streak but hit the road for a two-game trip and dropped both games at Penn St. and Nebraska. It has been a rough travel schedule as the Hawkeyes have played eight of 10 games away from Iowa City since Thanksgiving where they have traveled more than 8,500 miles and played in three different time zones. Iowa is 7-1 at home including impressive wins over Minnesota and Cincinnati. The Hawkeyes are 6-0 ATS in their last six games following an ATS loss. 10* (838) Iowa Hawkeyes

This is a play on the UTSA ROADRUNNER for our CBB Thursday Enforcer. Louisiana Tech had an odd schedule to open C-USA action as its first two games came against Southern Mississippi and easily won both of those. It was to the Bulldogs advantage considering the Golden Eagles are pegged as one of the worst teams in the conference. They have now won five straight games and they now hit the road where they are just 3-3 compared to a perfect 8-0 at home. Texas-San Antonio is off to a disappointing 0-2 start in the conference as expectations are high for the Roadrunners after finishing in second place last season and retuning four starters. One of those is the preseason C-USA Player of the Year Jhivvan Jackson who is averaging 25.3 ppg, second most in the country. UTSA was on a 5-1 run prior to the two losses so heading back home is just what it needs. 10* (604) Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners

This is a play on the BOISE ST. BRONCOS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Boise St. fell to 2-2 in the MWC with a 17-point loss against Nevada on Saturday. The Broncos had won four straight games prior to that defeat which was their fourth away from home. They are 8-2 at home which is no fluke as Boise St. has never had a losing home record since ExtraMile Arena opened in 1982. Boise St. is committing 12.0 tpg, second fewest in the Mountain West Conference. UNLV is 8-8 on the season with a 3-0 mark in Mountain West play, including a win against defending-champion and preseason-favorite Utah St. as a 6.5-point home underdog. The Rebels are coming off a six-game homestand and this will be their first road game in over a month where they are 1-3, the lone win coming Fresno St. which is 5-10 on the season. 10* (836) Boise St. Broncos

This is a play on the TOLEDO ROCKETS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. Toledo has lost four straight games including its conference opener at Ball St. on Friday. Additionally, the Rockets have failed to cover six straight games but this is the most points they are catching over this stretch. Toledo was 5-1 last season in games decided by five points or less but is 1-3 this year with a pair of two-point defeats at Valpo and Notre Dame and a four-point setback at Ball St. The Golden Flashes opened their season with an 18-point win at Bowling Green as a bucket underdog. Kent St. is 7-0 at home but two of those wins came against non-Division I teams, were favored by double-digits in four games and the best win came against Purdue Fort Wayne. The Golden Flashes lead the MAC in field goal percentage at 45.6 percent but will be facing a Toledo defense that has held every opponent to 45 percent or less. 10* (609) Toledo Rockets

This is a play on the GEORGIA SOUTHERN EAGLES for our CBB Monday Enforcer. Little Rock was picked to finish dead last in the Sun Belt Conference after finishing in a tie for last place last season. Yet the Trojans are off to a 4-0 start, the only undefeated team in the conference but that record is a bit deceiving. All four wins have come down to the final minute and all four coming by four points or less so while they have been clutch, the record could be worse. Georgia Southern is off to a 3-1 start in the conference as the Eagles were picked to contend for first place in the SBC. The Eagles are very efficient on offense and swarm the ball on defense as they are ranked 29th in the country in steals (9.1 spg), 17th in turnovers forced (18.2 tpg) and sixth in turnover margin (+5.9). The Eagles are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games following a straight up loss. 10* (855) Georgia Southern Eagles

This is a play on the WASHINGTON HUSKIES as part of our CBB Sunday Trifecta. Washington is coming off a loss against UCLA on Thursday which was its second straight loss overall, the other being in the championship of the Diamond Head Classic. It was just the second home loss for the Huskies which played a great game against No. 1 Gonzaga but eventually lost by seven points. The Huskies are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games as a favorite. USC won its sixth straight game with a nine-point win at Washington St. and this will be the biggest road test of the young season after a 2-1 start on the highway. The Trojans are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games as a road underdog. 10* (848) Washington Huskies

This is a play on the HOFSTRA PRIDE for our CAA Game of the Year. We played against Hofstra on Thursday as got crushed at home against William & Mary and that was its first home loss of the season since November 6. Now the Pride have a chance to feast on the worst team in the CAA with value on top of it. The Pride are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss. Elon has lost four straight games but it has been competitive in the last three as it has covered all of those games. The Phoenix are walking into a bad place on Saturday however and they do not have the depth to compete here with their seven-man rotation. The Phoenix are 8-22 ATS in their last 30 games following an ATS win. 10* (686) Hofstra Pride

This is a play on the TOLEDO ROCKETS as part of our CBB Friday Trifecta. We played on Toledo last Saturday and it fell down early and could not recover. That was the third straight loss for the Rockets but this game will have their attention with it being the conference opener. Toledo is predicted to win the MAC West and getting off to a good start is imperative especially against a fellow MAC West opponent. The Rockets have lost three straight games during a season for the first time in 73 games. This is a team that was dominating as they have six double-digit wins this season which gives them 21 victories of 10 points or more since the start of the 2018-19 season. Toledo has held all of its opponents to a 45 percent shooting or less, including six under 40 percent. The Rockets are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games as a road underdog. After losing the first two games of the Diamond Head Classic, Ball St. was able to win the consolation game against Portland. The Cardinals head home where they are just 3-3 on the season with those victories coming against Defiance, Howard and Indiana-Purdue. The Cardinals are 0-8 ATS in their last eight games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. 10* (841) Toledo Rockets

This is a play on the LOYOLA MARYMOUNT LIONS as part of our CBB Thursday Trifecta. Loyola Marymount has lost three of four games while failing to cover any of its last five games and that is keeping this number down on this contrarian play. The Lions are coming off a 22-win season a year ago, their most wins since 1989-90, and they welcomed back three starters from the CBI Semifinal team. Loyola Marymount is paced by Eli Scott who has three double-doubles this season, including the WCC's only triple-double. The Toreros are winners of four of their last five games, with the only loss in that stretch being a neutral site three-point defeat to Stanford. San Diego is still just 7-8 overall and are in rebuilding mode. It lost four senior starters who supplied 73 percent of the scoring from last year and it is showing as San Diego ranks 269th in the country in scoring (67.7 ppg) and that is after hanging 93 on Division III Whittier. San Diego's 220 turnovers this season are the most of WCC schools this season and rank 328 nationally among Division I programs. In the WCC, the Toreros are 10th in shooting percentage (42.9) and a distant 10th in three-point shooting (30.9 percent). The next worst shooting team from deep, Pepperdine, hits 35.7 percent behind the arc. 10* (684) Loyola Marymount Lions
