ATS: Oregon State Beavers +9 (-110)
WIN for +4.55 unit(s)

Oregon State Beavers at Washington Huskies

5* Pac-10 Tourney Game of the Year (FSN) on Oregon State +9

The Beavers will be out for revenge tonight after losing by 6 and 12 points to Washington during the regular season.  Oregon State has to be excited to get another crack at the Huskies with a chance to burst their bubble.  Right away, I love that Oregon State is 15-2 ATS when playing against a team with a winning record this season, winning these games by an average score of 60.8 to 59.5.  And that's not all.  The Beavers are 24-5 ATS in their last 29 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record,  22-5 ATS in their last 27 games vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600, 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a S.U. loss and 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog of 7.0-12.5 points.  Plus, the Huskies are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 neutral site games and 1-8 ATS after 2 straight wins by 10 points or more over the last 2 seasons.  Take the Beavers and the points.

Butler Bulldogs @ Duke Blue Devils Monday April 5, 2010 9:21 pm
5* National Championship Game *BEST BET* on Duke -7.5 There is no question that Butler is a very, very good basketball team.  I wouldn't have taken them against Michigan State in the Final Four if I didn't think so.  But that game pointed out Butler's biggest weakness, ... read more

West Virginia Mountaineers @ Duke Blue Devils Saturday April 3, 2010 9:12 pm
5* Final Four *BEST BET* on Duke -2 If West Virginia, a team that normally shoots only 33.6% from three-point range, doesn't go off from deep against Kentucky, finishing 10 of 23 from beyond the arc, and if Kentucky doesn't shoot just 4 of 32 from deep, there's a good chance ... read more

Michigan State Spartans @ Butler Bulldogs Saturday April 3, 2010 6:07 pm
3* Final Four SMASH on Butler -1 If Butler can beat Syracuse and Kansas State, it can certainly take care of a Michigan State team playing without its best player.  Butler is very experienced and very disciplined on both ends of the floor.  Defensively, the Bulldogs ... read more

North Carolina Tar Heels @ Dayton Flyers Thursday April 1, 2010 7:00 pm
3* NIT Championship SMASH (ESPN) on Dayton -3 The Flyers are the more experienced team and that is huge this time of year.  They are also the better defensive team, and playing solid defense is another must if you're going to win any type of championship.  It is certainly ... read more

Virginia Commonwealth Rams @ Saint Louis Billikens Wednesday March 31, 2010 8:00 pm
4* Major CBI Cash Cow on Saint Louis +1.5 Saint Louis has been incredible on its home floor this season.  The Billikens are 18-3 SU and 11-4 ATS in home line games.  The defense has been absolutely dominant as the Billikens are holding their opponents to just 57.5 ... read more

Dayton Flyers @ Mississippi Rebels Tuesday March 30, 2010 7:00 pm
5* NIT Game of the Year on Ole Miss +1.5 Dayton is a good ball club, but I really believe Ole Miss is the better team from the better conference.  I give the Rebels a big edge here because this game is being played on a neutral court.  Ole Miss has been the better ... read more

Saint Louis Billikens @ Virginia Commonwealth Rams Monday March 29, 2010 7:00 pm
3* CBI Tourney SMASH on Saint Louis +10 The knock on Saint Louis earlier this season was that it wasn't a very good away from home.  This certainly changed as the season went on as the Billikens won their last 4 true road games.  Because Saint Louis plays such solid ... read more

Baylor Bears @ Duke Blue Devils Sunday March 28, 2010 5:05 pm
5* Elite 8 *BEST BET* on Baylor +5 We saw Baylor feed off of the crowd in Friday's impressive win over Saint Mary's as many Baylor fans made the trip to Houston.  I expect the crowd to play a big factor in this one as well.  Duke was able to get past Purdue because ... read more

Tennessee Volunteers @ Michigan State Spartans Sunday March 28, 2010 2:20 pm
4* Major Elite 8 Early Annihilator on Tennessee -1.5 The Spartans were able to survive Northern Iowa without Kalin Lucas because the Panthers are a defensive team that packs it in.  The absence of Lucas will be felt much more strongly in this one as Tennessee likes to pressure ... read more

West Virginia Mountaineers @ Kentucky Wildcats Saturday March 27, 2010 7:05 pm
3* Elite 8 Perfect Angle Power Play on West Virginia +4 Kentucky has looked unstoppable in this tournament, but it hasn't faced a defense like West Virginia's yet.  The Mountaineers have held 6 straight opponents under 60 points, and they have held 6 of their last 7 opponents ... read more
