Allstar's College Basketball Wednesday

[Allstar]

Season 160-140-9 +83.41 Units

Tuesday 3-3 +4.18 +4.18 Units

(20 Units Plays Now 6-1 or 86%)

Here are today's top selections:

5 Units Illinois -2 (WON 78-59) +5.00 UNITS

Illinois (R: 6-4 SU, 3-6 ATS) is on an 8-1 SU run after a 66-58 win over Penn State this weekend. Dee Brown led four Illini in double figures, scoring 24 points the Luther Head scored 14, Deron Williams scored 12 and Roger Powell had 10 for Illinois which is 1/2 game out of first place in the comference and on a six game winning streak. For Iowa, Brody Boyd scored a career-high 25 points and Iowa won its second game in a row for the first time in two months, beating Ohio State 78-67 on Wednesday night. Pierre Pierce added 19 points, Jeff Horner had 12 points and seven assists and Glen Worley chipped in with 12 points and 10 rebounds as the Hawkeyes kept alive their hopes of grabbing an NCAA tournament berth. Illinois nosed out the Hawkeyes last month 88-82 at Illinois but the Illini have improved since. Expect another close one in the Big-10 as Iowa comes up short.

7 Units Xavier -12 (WON 65-49) +7.00 UNITS

This A-10 matchup looks lopsided on paper. Xavier (R: 4-7 SU, ATS) has gotten hot at the right time and is riding a six game win streak after beating Dayton 67-60 over the weekend. Lionel Chalmers' layup with 49 seconds left helped Xavier hold off Dayton Saturday. It was Xavier's 19th consecutive win over the Flyers on the Musketeers' home court. Romain Sato led Xavier (16-9, 7-5 Atlantic 10) with 18 points, Chalmers added 17 and Anthony Myles had 10. The Musketeers hit half of their 14 3-point attempts while Dayton was just 1 for 18 from behind the arc. The Bonnies (H: 6-6 SU, 5-6 ATS) have lost 8 straight and faded into the night following a 81-57 loss to Rhode Island this weekend. Patrick Lottin had 17 points for St. Bonaventure (6-17, 2-10) while Maurice Young added 12 points for the Bonnies. Paperwork say the Bonnies can't keep up with the guard led offense of Sato and Chalmers.

10 Units Vanderbilt -3.5 (WON 77-65) +10.00 UNITS

Old Miss’ SEC woes continue as Florida pumped them, 83-66 SU. Mississippi (12-11 SU, 8-10 ATS) is now just 4-8 in the SEC and has completely spiraled into obscurity. However, they will have a chance for the spoiler role every night the rest of the way. First up is Vanderbilt who is coming off a thrashing of LSU at Vandy, 74-54 SU. Vandy is just 3-5 on the Road this year. This hurts because Ole Miss does all but one game of their winning at Home (11-4 SU). Like all teams facing Ole Miss, Vandy will have a huge rebounding edge (33 – 26 rpg). Ole Miss simply does not box out!!! Vandy’s Matt Freije (19 ppg, 6 rpg) is focus of Vandy’s universe and may be able to take a breather here before stiffer competition arrives.

5 Units TCU +4 (LOST 86-94) -5.10 UNITS

Tied, on top of the C-USA American Division, Charlotte (R: 8-4 SU, 6-5 ATS) comes off a 78-72 win over Southern Mississippi on Saturday, their sixth win in seven tries. Curtis Withers and Eddie Basden each scored 16 points. The 49ers were 25-for-52 (48.1) from the floor and grabbed 32 rebounds. The Golden Eagles shot 27-for-61 (44.3 percent) from the floor and had 28 rebounds. TCU (H: 7-8 Su, 3-9 ATS) couldn't keep up with East Carolina falling 75-70 on Saturday for their second loss in three games. Corey Santee led the Horned Frogs (10-13, 6-6) with 18 points. Marcus Shropshire added 16 points, Nucleus Smith had 13 and Chudi Chinweze added 12. TCU has been game lately, against Louisville last week, they made four of their first 13 shots and shot only 33 percent for the half, but they didn't back off, used their defense to hold Louisville to 20 percent shooting and led 33-18 at halftime before winning 71-46 for their most impressive win of the season. Their stock is rising so expect them to be in the battle with Charlotte. But the bottom line however has the Frogs hoppin' to the win.

7 Units Colorado -4.5 (WON 94-87) +7.00 UNITS

Looks like a defensive duel in the Big 12. Oklahoma (16-7 SU, 6-11 ATS) is decent on the road (4-4 SU/3-4 ATS), though they shoot 41% from the field and average just 60 ppg away from home. Oklahoma is led by 6'-5" senior Jason Detrick and 6'-10" senior Jabahri Brown, and a couple of youngsters in freshman G Drew Lavender and freshman Lawrence McKenzie. Colorado (15-8) has a nice one-two punch of 7-foot David Harrison and Michel Morandais -- both average 16 ppg. Morandais scored 21 points as Colorado beat Kansas State 72-62 Saturday. Colorado (15-8, 7-5 Big 12) held Kansas State to one field goal over a 15-minute stretch. The Buffaloes outrebounded the Wildcats 40-31 and held them to 36 percent from the field in the second half. Blair Wilson added 15 points for Colorado, David Harrison had 13 points and 10 rebounds and Lamar Harris had 10 rebounds. Colorado is 10-3 SU, 4-7 ATS at home where they outscore teams by a 76-66 average. Oklahoma's offense will struggle against the tall Buffaloes.

Good Luck Tonight,
