Wednesday's College Basketball Plays
3-Unit Play. #745 Take St. John's (+5) over Marquette (8:30 p.m., Wednesday, February 21)
We've back the Johnnies the each of the last two games as they've extended their current win streak to four. Included in that was a home win over this Marquette team. In that game the Golden Eagles had their full roster. Here in this second meeting their top scorer Markus Howard is doubtful. His 21.3 ppg is a big reason why this team scores so well. I think minus Howard the Red Storm win this game outright and continue their winning ways.
3-Unit Play. #752 Take Tulsa (-1.5) over UCF (9 p.m., Wednesday, February 21)
Very quietly this Tulsa team can earn their 10th C-USA victory of the season. Winners of five straight coming into this game, they'll be good for it tonight. UCF has pretty much had a wash of a season. They've never been healthy this season, and even though they've done relatively well at 17-9, I think their expectations were even greater. The Golden Hurricane have won six of seven home games in league play, and tonight they get this one as well minus the modest number.
3-Unit Play. #756 Take Minnesota (-3) over Iowa (9 p.m., Wednesday, February 21)
This season has been a dreadful one for the Gophers. They went from Top 15 team with expectations to perhaps challenge for the Big Ten title to all but bound for the NIT. However, it's their final home game of the schedule, and I expect if nothing else this team sends four-year guard Nate Mason out with a win in front of Minnesota fans. Iowa is in the league standings cellar for a reason. All seven of the Hawkeyes' road Big Ten losses have come via double figures. Let's hope Minnesota steps up for this one. Play the home team here.
