Allstar's SUNDAY College Basketball Selections

Allstar · Mar 7, 2004

Here are todays selections:

5 Units Florida +7.5 -105

This is a must win game for the Florida Gators (18-8 SU, 13-9 ATS). A win at Kentucky and a good showing in the SEC tourney are the key ways for the Gators to stay in the dance. Talk about a disappointing season! Kentucky (22-4 SU, 12-11 ATS) has cruised to another SEC East crown and sits poised for another strong March showing after pounding SEC East Rival South Carolina, 84-65 SU. Kentucky really could care less about this game, other than it is at Home (12-2 SU). All of the fire will be with Florida. Kentucky is on a five game ATS winning streak that should come to an end Sunday. Kentucky won the first game, 68-65 SU. Florida is on a 4 game SU winning streak and may come real close to #5. March will be tough for the Gators, especially since they are down a man after Christian Drejer (10 ppg) split for Europe.

7 Units Connecticut -4 +104

A real good matchup on Sunday. Both teams are playing well and are pretty healthy. Although both have been money-burners: UConn is 1-8 ATS on the road, while Syracuse is 3-10 ATS at home! UConn (24-5, Road: 6-3 SU, 1-8 ATS) rolled to an 89-67 victory over Seton Hall on Monday night. Emeka Okafor the 6-foot-10 junior center fought through back spasms to get 25 points and 15 rebounds while Ben Gordon had 23 points for the Huskies, who won their fifth straight and ninth of 11. Syracuse (H: 13-3 SU, 3-10 ATS) moved closer to a first-round bye in the Big East tournament in a 65-52 victory over West Virginia on Tuesday night. Hakim Warrick had 25 points and 10 rebounds and Gerry McNamara added 14 points. UConn won the first meeting 84-56 and would probably like to spare Okafor from any possible back issues. However, the Huskies likely need to beat Syracuse (20-6) in order to gain a share of the Big East regular-season title and a chance at a No. 1 seed. Syracuse offers the challenge of Hakim Warrick, which likely means that Josh Boone will be called upon to help bang around inside and give Emeka Okafor a breather. UConn weapons are too numerous.

7 Units Arizona -16 -109

An interstate rivalry from the Grand Canyon State, Arizona (Home: 12-3 SU, 6-8 ATS) won the first meeting 93-74 and now they're at home...look out Sun Devils. Last week Salim Stoudamire returned from a one-game suspension to score 21 points, 16 in the second half, and Arizona snapped a two-game losing streak by beating Washington State 72-60. Channing Frye scored 20 points, 14 in the second half, and Hassan Adams had 11 for the Wildcats, who are 5-5 over their last 10 games. Arizona State (Road: 2-8 SU, 3-7 ATS) State comes off a couple of losses to Washington and Washington State at home last week. Arizona State (10-16 Su, 4-13 Pac 10) was paced by Ike Diogu, who scored a game-high 27 points and went 11 for 14 from the line, setting the Pac-10 record for the most free throws made in a season with 240. Jamal Hill (14 points) and Stevie Moore (10 points) each finished in double figures. Arizona State is 5-19 ATS!!! A mismatch here as the Wildcats toast the lazy Airzona State defense.

Good Luck Today,
