ATS: West Virginia Mountaineers +2.5 (-110)
LOSS for -3 unit(s)
West Virginia Mountaineers at Duke Blue Devils
Play On: West Virginia (Game 821)
Note: When the Mountaineers meet the Blue Devils at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis Saturday evening they will take the court with strong winning edges in their favor. First and foremost, West Virginia will be highly motivated in this contest, feeling they - not Duke - should have been awarded a No.1 seed in this tourney by the NCAA Tournament committee. That's been their creed throughout this event and the mindset with which they are playing. Head coach Bob Huggins has dominated sub .880 ACC opposition in his career, going 8-2 SU and ATS, including 3-0 SU and ATS in the NCAA tourney. Huggins' WVU teams have allowed and average 57.5 PPG in eight NCAA tourney games, including a 76-67 win over Duke n the 2008 tournament. Most recently, the Mountaineers have not allowed more than 68 points in any of its last 10 games. On the flip side, Duke's Mike Krzyzewski has covered in only 16 of 46 career games against Big East opposition. In addition, his teams are 5-16 ATS in NCAA tournament games in which they fail to score 72 points, including 2-15 ATS the last 17 as favorites. From our powerful database we note that favorites in Final Four games that have covered every game in tourney are 1-3 SU and 0-4 ATS when facing a No. 1 or No. 2 seeded opponent over the last 20 years. We also note that the Mountaineers are 15-2-1 ATS in NCAA tourney games since 1998, including 7-0-1 ATS as a dog. With WVU 5-1 SU and 6-0 ATS on neutral courts in games against the ACC, and 15-1 SU in non-conference games this season, look for the Mountaineers to advance to the championship game on Monday. We recommend a 3-unit play on West Virginia.
