Jim Feist

(621) NEW JERSEY NETS
(622) GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS
Take "Over"

Golden State is No. 2 in total offense, just behind the Lakers, with 107.8 ppg. Defensively, these teams rank No. 20 and 22 in the NBA allowing over 46% shooting by opponents. New Jersey has a strong offense led by young Devin Harris, on a 9-2 run over the total. Golden State is home after a 4-game road trip and has looked out of gas, allowing 110, 108 and 127 points the last three games (all losses). Look for an uptempo game from start to finish. Play the Nets/Warriors over the total.

Dave Cokin

(631) SAINT LOUIS
(632) LA SALLE
Take "(631) SAINT LOUIS"

The opening game in Wednesday's A-10 Tourney features Saint Louis and La Salle. This game looks dead even to me on paper, so there's already a little value in the number with the dog. There's also quick revenge as the Billikens just lost to the Explorers. Finally, the idea of grabbing points with Rick Majerus in a likely close tourney game is appealing, so the Wednesday free lean is to Saint Louis.

Saint Louis under 129
Last meeting went for 130. Seems like games are going under and an early meeting with a slow tempo team could be great for this game.

Neb +1
There Defense should win this one. They just beat Baylor on the road. They have the better conf. record and a better road record. Baylor has been struggling recently.

St. J -4
Name the last Conf. road game Charlotte won? None....they have been awful on the road. The team has absolutely no discipline and is terrible out of Charlotte.

Air Force +2
I can't believe I like this. Col. St beat them twice already and it's hard to beat a team 3 times. AF just came off to GREAT road games losing at BYU by 5 and UNLV by 3. They haven't won a conf. game yet, but same with Depaul.....too bad we aren't getting 9 points in this one.

NBA. new orleans-8 @ washington. A matchup with the struggling Washington Wizards might seem like a good way for the New Orleans Hornets to bounce back from a flat performance, but winning at the Verizon Center has been a very tough task for them. The Hornets, looking to keep up in the Western Conference playoff race, try for their first victory in Washington in more than five years tonight, hornets cover-8.

Obviously AJ Abrams and the Texas Longhorns are far better than Colorado but the Buffs have been alright at times and in this matchup about a month or so ago I watched the boys from Boulder take Rick Barnes' squad to overtime before losing in a cover.

For the last few months this Longhorn squad has just not been all that. In fact UT has been pretty bad some of the time and have failed to cover game after game after game. The Hook ems did have a game effort last time out at Kansas but still wet the bed in the second half and failed to cover the eight points in the 10 point defeat. These guys now have failed to cover in 12 of their last 17 games.

Texas does not have a true point guard and it has shown this season. Obivously Texas should win this game as Colorado is probably the worst team in the Big 12 but the Buffaloes are not pathetic, yes they are bad, but not pathetic. Certainly losing 11 games in a row does not bode well at all but Colorado has covered two in a row and are a phenomenal 10-3-1 ATS over the past 14 games.

I expect things to continue as they should, Colorado should lose the game but once again cash the ticket.

Vegas Experts
Boston Celtics at Miami Heat

The Celtics have five players, three of them key contributors, out for this ball game. They'll get the best shot from the Heat, who have lost six straight times to Boston and won't let this opportunity pass them by. Dwyane Wade is playing like an MVP right now, having scored 40 or more points in five of his last nine games overall. The team is also 12-3 ATS after allowing 105 or more points in its last game and 5-1 ATS this season after scoring 110 or more.

Play on: Miami

Stanford vs. OREGON STATE +5' - at Los Angeles, CA

After sweeping the regular season series at 2-0 both straight up, and against the spread, it is hard not to go with Oregon State as they take on Stanford at the Staples Center tonight.

The Beavers do enter riding a 3-game straight up, and against the spread losing streak, but there is a silver lining, as their last pair of games both came in the City of Angels at UCLA, and USC, so the familiarities of the city should be no issue this Wednesday night.

Stanford didn't exactly close with a rush, as the Cardinal were no better than 2-5 straight up, and 2-4-1 against the spread in those 7 games, so we are a little reluctant to lay the points with Johnny Dawkins' team.

We will look for Stanford to avoid the embarrassing season "hat trick" at the hands of Oregon State, but we don't expect this 40-minute session to be a cake-walk for the Tree.

Play on the Beavers plus the points.

4♦ OREGON STATE

Air Force at Colorado State
Prediction: Air Force

Air Force was an NCAA team in 2004 and 2006 and in 2007, won 26 games (was an NIT Final 4 team) on its way to a 26-win season. Those winning seasons are distant memories, as Air Force heads into this game against Colorado St at 9-20 overall, including an 0-16 mark in the MWC. Colorado St knows what the Air Force program is going through, as just last year, the Rams finished 0-16 in the MWC. The Rams lost the 7-0 Creason (12.2-5.7) off that team and while they've played slightly better this year, not by much (9-21 overall, 4-12 in the MWC). Senior guards Walker (17.0) and Gardner (9.6) are a solid duo, joined by freshman Carr (8.6). The Rams haven't been able to replace Creason but 6-8 Ole Miss transfer Ogide (10.0-5.8) has been their best inside player. Joining him in the frontcourt are the 6-6 McFarland (7.9-3.9) and 6-7 JUCO Franklin (6.8-3.8). Guard Simmons (4.4) has left the team, 6-10 Purdue transfer Vandervieren (6.3-3.9) has back problems plus freshman guard Carr is struggling with a groin injury. The Falcons' best player is 6-6 guard Henke (12.8-4.1). Johnson (11.3-3.8) is a solid 6-5 small forward and the 6-6 Holland (10.8-3.7) is the team's third double digit scorer. Let's not count Air Force out in this game. DePaul, which went 0-18 in the Big East regular season this year, beat a pretty decent Cincinnati team on Tuesday in the Big East's first round, 67-57. CSU went 0-16 in last year's MWC regular season and then beat Wyoming 68-63 in this very same game (MWC's first round). Is it deja vu all over again? I say yes. I'm playing the "patriotic card" in this game and I'm taking the Flyboys.
