Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns at North Texas Mean Green Eagles 8:00 pm EST
La-Lafayette –6 (2 Units)
La-Lafayette is coming off a tough loss at Rice on Saturday as they led most of the game but the Owls were able to stay close enough and pull it out with late free throws. We went against the Cajuns in that game mostly due to the difference of conference strength but now they return to the Sun Belt where they have dominated most of the season. They are 10-2 in the conference including a 6-1 record on the road, losing only to New Orleans. North Texas is 1-4 their last 5 games and even though those four losses all came on the road, they don’t match up well with this Cajun team. La-Lafayette will be without Cedric Williams for this game due to a suspension but he has not been a factor recently. The Cajuns are ranked 84th in the RPI while the Mean Green are just 250th, mostly due to a losing record while playing the 287th toughest schedule in the country. La-Lafayette is 2nd in the Sun Belt in turnovers while North Texas is 10th. They are 1st in assists while the Mean Green are 7th. That leads to a A/TO ratio of 1.22 compared to 0.72, a huge discrepancy. Any Cajun win in its final three or a New Orleans loss to either North Texas or Denver this week would lock up the West title for the La-Lafayette squad. In addition, a win in any of the last three games would give the Cajuns the league’s overall title and assure them of the No. 1 seed for the Sun Belt Tournament. The Cajuns have won the last 3 meetings by an average of 26 ppg. They also rebound well coming off a defeat, as they are 6-0 SU and 3-0 ATS following a loss this season winning those games by 19.2 ppg.
Air Force Falcons at Brigham Young Cougars 10:30 pm EST
Mountain West Conference Game of the Month
BYU –5.5 (3 Units)
This is the third straight road game for the Falcons, who despite their 7-4 record on the road, isn’t as impressive as it seems. They are coming off a win at Utah but lost to Texas Pan Am prior to that an wins over Navy and Texas A&M Corpus Christi don’t go too far. BYU is a perfect 11-0 at home this season and amazingly only 1 of those wins were by less than 14 points. The Cougars have won at home this year by an average of 20.5 ppg. BYU has won 16 straight in the Marriott center and 60 out of their last 61 at home. BYU took a 22-point thrashing at Air Force earlier this season and that loss really hurt them as they lost their next two games following that. Air Force shot 72.5% in that game, their best ever, and it was the biggest loss ever to the Falcons. It’s now payback time in Provo where the Cougars have won the last 12 games played at home. A key for this game is to get Air Force out of their half court game and BYU has shown recently that they can do just that. BYU has pushed the ball more during its current five-game winning streak. The Cougars averaged 3.7 fast-break points to their opponents' 2.0 transition points over the first six MWC games, posting a 2-4 record. In the last five games, all victories, BYU has scored 13.0 points per game in transition, while opponents have averaged 4.0 fast-break points. The Cougars again have the services of forward/center Jared Jensen, who was out with a back injury in BYU's three straight road losses, including the game at Air Force.

4* UNLV
3* Kansas/Texas Over
3* Miami (NBA)
Larry Ness Texas
It's not as if Kansas is having a bad year (they are 17-6) but the team's 6-14 ATS mark proves it hasn't been one of its best seasons, either! Up front Wayne Simien (16.6/9.7) is SUPER and is joined by freshman Padgett and senior Graves. Two very good guards are back from last year in Langford and Miles plus they are joined on the perimeter by an outstanding freshman, JR Giddens. It may not be enough though vs the DEPTH of Texas. Mouton (13.3) and Tucker (11.3) are the only Longhorns in double-digits but NINE other players score between 3.8 and 9.7 ppg (none averaging less than 13 min/game) for what might be Rick Barnes' best team (not bad since they made the Final Four last year!). Kansas has been an underdog just once this year (+ 4.5 vs Okla St) and they got KILLED at Stillwater, 80-60. The Longhorns are 13-1 at home this season, outscoring opponents by better than 20 ppg! Lay the ponts with Texas.
Joe Gavazzi San Diego State
First meeting between these two was an Aztec loss, 82-92. Expect the payback to work tonight on a court where SD State stands 6-3 ATS as HF. The Rams have been abyssmal on the Mountain West trail, losing every conference road game by 8 or more points. Expect the blowout tonight from the avenging Aztec.
Alex Smart Villanova
The Villanova Wildcats come into this game playing some of their best basketball on the road this season especially when it concerns their betting backers bankrolls as their ATS record now stands at an impressive 10-2 (83%). Syracuse on the other hand have been burning Benjamins at a steady pace this season as the odds makers continually lure punters in with over inflated lines on Syracuse games. The Orangemen are in the red this season and when playing as a host are 3-9 ATS losing their dime betting backers almost 7 Gs in the process. I am expecting a fairly close game in this one today based on a statistical over view of the data alone ,as the numbers just don not lie . Villanova have shot FGs at a 47% clip this season and from the trey are a nifty 37% over their L5 overall-that includes a 75.9% conversion rate from the charity stripe in the visitors role. While Syracuse on the other hand is also shooting FGs at around 47 % but it is their shooting from beyond the arc that is a major concern as they continue throwing bricks on a consistent basis and converting at a lowly 31.8% clip at home ?add to that a nasty 61.9% conversion rate from the Free throw line and you have the ingredients for what I suspect will be a further erosion of their betting supporters bankroll status. Note. The Wildcats have won the last two meetings SU & ATS.
Marc Lawrence Denver Nuggets
Nuggets travel to Memphis off a 16-point loss with 18-point loss revenge knowing they?ve defeated the Grizzlies in 12 of the last 16 games in this series. Take the points in this payback deluxe.
LT Profits Memphis/Denver UNDER
Yes, these two young athletic teams are vastly improved this season, but this lofty total looks like a severe over-adjustment to us. For starters, the Nuggets average about 7 fewer points on the road (93.6) than they do at home (100.2). In fact, the UNDER is 17-10, 63.0% in all Denver road games this season with an average combined total score in those games of 191.5 points, about 5 points lower than this posted total. The Nuggets have gone UNDER in 8 of their last 10 road contests, topping the 100-point mark in just 2 of those games. This string includes an 88-point effort here in Memphis back on January 25. Similarly, the UNDER is 15-13 in all Memphis home games this year with an even lower average combined total score of 189.7 points, about 7 points less than this total. The Grizzlies have gone UNDER in 9 of their last 11 home games. Finally, in the last 12 head-to-head meetings between these clubs since 2001, exactly ONE of those games had a final point total greater than 197 points! The last time these teams got together, they combined to score just 169 points a couple of weeks ago in an 86-83 Nuggets victory at Denver.

North Texas +6..............1.5 Units
I know that we might get a few eyebrows raised at the North Texas play but we like this game for a couple of reasons. UL Lafayette must play after just one day of rest and it looks like they will do it without the services of junior forward, Cedric Williams. Despite the Eagles seemingly unimpressive 11-13 mark this year, they are very competitive in the friendly confines and will be ready to spoil Rajun Cajuns party tonight. The better team does not always win and tonight should be a good example of that.
