Tuesday 19th of March 2019
Doc's Sports
4 Unit Play. Take Fairleigh Dickinson -2 over Prairie View A&M (6:40p.m., Tuesday, March 19 TRUTV) Both teams have been covering machines of late, but we will side with the favorite. The line keeps moving their way despite 52% of the money coming in on the underdog. The Knights are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games. The Panthers are 0-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 nonconference games.
4 Unit Play. Take #673 Hofstra +9.5 over NC State (7p.m., Tuesday, March 19 ESPN2) The Wolfpack feel that they got snubbed and are not that excited about playing in this game. The Pride are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 nonconference games. NC State is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS loss in their previous game.
4 Unit Play. Take #689 Loyola Chicago +8.5 over Creighton (9p.m., Tuesday, March 19 ESPNU) This is a lot of points to be giving for a team that is somewhat disappointed to be here. With a total in the mid 130s we will grab the points in this game. If the Ramblers can control the pace of this game they should be able to take it down to the wire. The Bluejays are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games following an ATS loss in their previous game.
Best of Luck ? Doc?s Sports
Robert Ferringo
3-Unit Play. Take #672 Temple (+3.5) over Belmont (9 p.m., Tuesday, March 19)
I know that Belmont is giddy that they got into the NCAA Tournament as an at-large team. But they aren?t better than Temple. Not by a long shot. Belmont hasn?t beaten anyone this year. Their best wins came against Lipscomb and Murray State. That?s it. That is all they?ve done. Temple is legit. And they have their own motivation: getting one more game for head coach Fran Dunphy, who is retiring at the end of the year. Temple has played top competition this year and they have played well against those teams and I definitely think that they will win this game outright.
1-Unit Play. Take #673 Hofstra (+9.5) over N.C. State (7 p.m., Tuesday, March 19)
North Carolina State was one of the last teams left out of the NCAA Tournament field. That has to be a crushing feeling and it has to be really, really hard to gear up for an NIT game with that hanging over your head. Hofstra has to be feeling that way a bit as well. But they have also had a week to get over it rather than, you know, 48 hours. And the Pride are catching all theses points. I think this is a solid value play and Hofstra has a shot at the upset.
1-Unit Play. Take #675 South Dakota State (+9.5) over Texas (9 p.m., Tuesday, March 19)
Texas is in kind of the same boat. Do you think they care about this game? I don?t. The Longhorns have been kind of a mess over the last two months, with injuries, suspensions and distractions keeping this team from finding any kind of consistency. They have beaten some really good teams this year. But they have also been supremely erratic and I just don?t know if I trust them in this spot. SDSU has played in the NCAA Tournament twice during Mike Daum?s four-year career and both losses were close ones against good teams. I think the Jackrabbits can manage the same thing here.
1-Unit Play. Take #677 St. Francis (+18) over Indiana (7 p.m., Tuesday, March 19)
Indiana is in kind of the same boat. Do you think they care about this game? I don?t. The Hoosiers are just 5-13 in their last 18 games. And of their 17 wins on the season, seven of them have come by three points or less or in OT. Not impressive. And now they have even less motivation for this game.
1-Unit Play. Take #681 Campbell (+10) UNC-Greensboro (7 p.m., Tuesday, March 19)
UNC-Greensboro is another team that has to still be a bit staggered about the fact that they didn?t get into the NCAA Tournament. Are they going to turn that into a blowout win in this tournament? I don?t really think so. Campbell runs the Princeton offense and they play slow. That makes them harder to blow out. In fact, only three of their 12 losses were by more than 10 points and none of them were by more than 15 points. Campbell has Chris Clemons. So they always have a chance. And I think they can make this number stick.
2-Unit Play. Take #688 Providence (-6) over Arkansas (9 p.m., Tuesday, March 19)
Well, Arkansas?s best player just declared for the NBA draft and said he?s not going to waste his time playing in the NIT. This is already a young team and the only guy they have taller than 6-8 (who is also the team?s best scorer, rebounder and interior defender) just quit on them. I don?t see a lot of motivation coming from that end. Providence was a big underachiever this year. But they have the look of a team that can do some damage in this tournament. They are playing at home and I think they will pound the Razorbacks on the inside in this one.
2-Unit Play. Take #692 Colorado (-4) over Dayton (11 p.m., Tuesday, March 19)
Colorado has been hot. They won two games in the Pac-12 tournament and have won 10 of 13 overall. The main reason they?ve been winning is that they have started shooting the ball well. I think that is going to continue here, especially playing at home. Dayton beat a bunch of bad teams this year. They have exactly two wins over teams rated in the Top 100 and I don?t think they will get another one here.
1-Unit Play. TEASER: Take #672 Temple (+8.5) over Belmont (9 p.m.) AND Take #688 Providence (-1) over Arkansas (9 p.m.)
Carpe diem. Good luck.

7-Unit Play. #687. Take Over 144 Arkansas vs. Providence (Tuesday @ 9pm est)
Arkansas will be without their key player today as he is going to rest for the NBA Draft and not take part in the NIT and that of course is his choice as he protects his health. Having said that, these two coaches are very familiar with each other as per the Nike Brand and though they have never faced each other, they will be more than excited to face each other. Providence and Arkansas might be disappointed they are not in the Dance, but this is still post-season play and that will still get both of these teams more than excited to play. You have an Arkansas team that will likely rely more on the outside shot without their key presence inside in Gafford and you have a Providence team that can score with ease as they dropped 80 against Butler in Conference Play and only scored 62 against Villanova in their last game. This is a team that put up 70 against St. Johns which is a very strong defensive team as well and the only way Arkansas can be competitive without Gafford in this game is through their offense and to run, run and run some more. Arkansas put up 82 points on Alabama, only scored 50 in their last game against Florida and had put up 84 against Vanderbilt and 74 against a good Ole Miss team before that. Look for a strong offensive performance from both teams as this game likely goes over the posted total today.

4 Unit Play. Take #671 Belmont -3 over Temple (9:10p.m., Tuesday March 19 TRUTV)
This 'First Four' game tonight in Dayton, Ohio should be a great one and lets face it the Belmont Bruins are the better overall team. But at the same time this game will come out to who will control the tempo? If its Temple then the Bruins are in deep trouble but if it's the Bruins the Temple Owls do not have enough offense fire power to go toe-to-toe with the Bruins. Belmont will control the tempo in the second half and I see the Bruins pulling away late in the second to win and advance to play on Thursday. Temple is 1-4 ATS last 5 conference games and the Belmont Bruins are 5-1-1 ATS last 7 games.
2 Unit Play. Take #675 South Dakota St +9 over Texas (9:00p.m., Tuesday March 19)
Does the all mighty Texas Longhorns really want to play this game against the South Dakota St Jackrabbits tonight. Texas has dropped 5 out 6 and lost Jaxson Hayes in their last game. Give me the +9 tonight as the Jackrabbits could get the actual outright 'W' tonight on the road.

NIT TOURNEY
3 Units - #673 Hofstra (+9.5) vs NC State 3/19 *7 EST
Bubble teams from Top 6 Power conferences who end up in the NIT are a fade team, been doing this approach for years and it pays off nicely. Hofstra has the vastly better offense, and despite strength of schedule, stats are stats, the court is the same size, and the last 5 games stats do not lie, Hofstra scoring 80 ppg, 48% from the floor and 38% from 3-point range and 83% in free throws. NC States numbers their last 5, 64 ppg, 38% from the floor, 28% from 3-point range and 73% in free throws. Look for a motivated Hofstra team who is 27-7 overall and 10-5 SU on the road to keep it close.
3 Units - #675 South Dakota St (+9.5) vs Texas 3/19 *9 EST
Texas has been up and down all year and the best player on this floor is Mike Daum from SDSU, an NBA prospect who can light it up from all over the floor. Texas has been inconsistent as anyone in the country and faded down the stretch badly, and SDSU is no joke, a strong mid major team. You cannot trust Texas to win this by double digits against a team who is ranked 2nd in the NCAA in effective FG% and should hang around the entire game.
NCAA TOURNEY PLAY-IN GAME
3 Units - #671 Belmont (-3.5) vs Temple 3/19 *9:10 EST
I follow the Ohio Valley quite a bit and 3 teams were rock solid all year Belmont being one of them, and Belmont lost to Murray St in the OVC Championship game and frankly just had a bad day. Last 5 game stats are indicative of their season, they do a lot of things well except defense, but Temple cannot exploit it or trade punches as Belmont is high octane on the offensive side, and push the ball nonstop, scoring 88 ppg their last 5 games, and 86 ppg on the season. Temple will have to play a different brand of ball to win this, I just do not see them hanging all night with Belmont's offensive attack, they are relentless. Dylan Windler for Belmont is the best player on the floor tonight and an NBA draft pick, possible late 1st round. There is not a team in this tourney that wants Belmont in round 1, trust me.
Vernon Croy
4-Unit Play. Take #683 Lipscomb +2 over Davidson (Tuesday, March 19 at 7:00 PM ET)
Take Lipscomb ATS as my 4-Unit CBB Smash for Tuesday night. This pick falls into one of my top college basketball systems and I have the Bison winning this game by 4 to 8 points here today. The Bison have shot 50% as a team over their last five games while averaging 80 points per game and they have held opponents to shooting just 39.4% against them on the road this season. The Bison are 21-7 ATS in their last 28 road games when playing a team that has a win rate above .600 and the Bison are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games against a non-conference opponent. Davidson is just 1-5 ATS in the last six games after a loss by more than 20 points and just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games when playing a team that has a win rate above .600. This is the Bison team that went to at the time #18 ranked TCU and beat them by nine points earlier this season and they also be a very good Vermont team by 25 points this season. Play Lipscomb ATS as we get back on track in CBB heading into the NCAA Tournament that I absolutely owned last year.
Scott Spreitzer
3-Unit Play: Take 694 Utah Valley -12 over CS-Northridge (9 p.m. Tues, March 19)
I'm laying the points with Utah Valley on Tuesday night. The joint will be jumping at the UCCU in Orem, Utah on Tuesday. Unlike some of the CBI entries, the home team will be backed by an excited fan base. UVU is also out to prove they belong in a bigger tourney having won 24 of 33 games on the season. UVU shoots 53% at home, including 45% from the 3-point line, while taking nearly 21 3's per game. They shoot a lot of FTs at home, own the rebounding edge and average over 16 assists per game. CSUN is not good on the defensive end on the road and worst of all for the Matadors, they will play at UVU's desired pace having allowed over 80 ppg on the road this season. CSUN owns a strong point-spread record, but this is a tough spot for the 13-20 SU team. I'm laying the points with Utah Valley on Tuesday night. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

3 Unit Play. Take #669 Farleigh Dickinson -2 over Prairie View A&M (6:40 PM, Tuesday, March 19, Tru TV)
Farleigh Dickinson has posted a 4-1 ATS record in their last five non-conference games and they have that same 4-1 ATS record in their last five games played on a Tuesday night for whatever reason. They have also covered the number in five of their last six games following an ATS win and they are an impressive 6-1 ATS in their last seven off a straight up victory. Prairie View, on the other hand, has struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone just 1-4-1 ATS in their last six where they faced a team with a winning % of .600 or higher and they have failed to cover the number in each of their last four non-conference games. Throw in the fact that the Knights have gone 7-1 ATS in their last eight games overall and we're going to lay the bucket or so with them here to get the win and cover over the Panthers in Dayton on Tuesday night.
4 Unit Play. Take #672 Temple +3.5 over Belmont (9:10 PM, Tuesday, March 19, Tru TV)
Temple has posted a 7-1 ATS record in their last eight games following an ATS loss and they have gone an excellent 14-6 ATS in their last 20 neutral site games. Belmont, on the other hand, has struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games played on a Tuesday night for whatever reason and they have that same 2-5 ATS record in their last seven neutral site games. Throw in the fact that the Bruins are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven NCAA Tournament games and we're going to take the points here with the Owls in a game that we think they can win outright in Dayton on Tuesday night.
2 Unit Play. Take #675 South Dakota St +9 over Texas (9:00 PM, Tuesday, March 19, ESPN)
South Dakota St has posted a 12-5 ATS record in their last seventeen games following a straight up loss and they have gone an excellent 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 games off a game where they failed to cover the spread. Texas, on the other hand, has struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone just 1-6 ATS in their last seven Tuesday night games and they are an awful 2-5 ATS in their last seven at home where they faced a team with a winning record on the road. Throw in the fact that the Jackrabbits are 7-3 ATS in their last ten non-conference games and we're going to take the points with them here in a game that we have a bit closer than the odds makers do in Austin on Tuesday night.
2 Unit Play. Take #683 Lipscomb +2 over Davidson (7:00 PM, Tuesday, March 19, ESPN 3)
Lipscomb has posted an 11-4 ATS record in their last fifteen road games where they faced a team with a winning record at home and they have gone an excellent 25-10-1 ATS in their last 36 road games overall. Davidson, on the other hand, has struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone just 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a straight up loss by 20 points or more and they are just 3-8 ATS in their last eleven games where they faced a team with a winning % of .600 or higher. Throw in the fact that the Bison are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 conference games and we're going to take the bucket or so with them here in a game that we think they win outright on the road at Davidson on Tuesday night.
2 Unit Play. Take #691 Dayton +4.5 over Colorado (11:00 PM, Tuesday, March 19, ESPN 2)
Dayton has posted a perfect 4-0 ATS record in their last five road games and they have also gone a perfect 5-0 ATS in their last five games following a straight up loss. They have also covered the number in five of their last six games off an ATS loss and they are an impressive 5-1 ATS in their last six on the road where they faced a team with a home winning % of .600 or higher. Colorado, on the other hand, has struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they have failed to cover the number in seven of their last nine games where they faced a team with an overall winning % of .600 or higher. Throw in the fact that the Flyers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games overall and we're going to take the points with them here in a game that we think they can win outright in Boulder on Tuesday night.

NOTE: UPDATED line to +8.5
7-Unit Play. Take #675 South Dakota State (+8.5) over Texas (9 p.m., Tuesday, March 19)
I love the underdog in this situation. I don't think that that Texas wants to play this game. They wanted to make the NCAA Tournament and came up just short. I don't think that this team is going to be very motivated at all for this one and not motivated enough to get a blowout win. Texas has lost three straight games and they have lost five of their last six. The Longhorns have only won two times since Feb. 10. South Dakota State has one of the best players in the country in Mike Daum and he is one of the greatest scorers in college basketball history with over 3,000 career points. SDSU has won eight of its last 10 games. They had one slip-up in their conference tournament. They will continue to play hard though. The Jackrabbits are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games after a loss and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 nonconference games. I think that South Dakota State has a great chance to pull the upset and win this game. I will take the points with this one.

Tuesday March 19th 2019-
3 Unit Play Take #672 'under' 155 Belmont/Temple (9:10pm est):
Belmont comes out of the Ohio Valley Conference where they played the fastest tempo of any of conference in CBB this season. I expect they won't get as fast of a pace that they are use to here going up against Temple. Belmont scored more than 80 points in 20 of their 31 games this season. The big thing is they usually do this against bottom feeders, going above 80 points in 19 of their 22 games against teams ranked 117th or worse. When they faced a team better than 117th at Kenpom this year they went above 80 points just 1 time in 9 games and 6 of those 9 games also stayed below the posted total. Temple comes in ranked 76th at Kenpom this year.
Play 'under' in this one.
Thank you and good luck,

Hofstra has the vastly better offense, and despite strength of schedule, stats are stats, the court is the same size, and the last 5 games stats do not lie, Hofstra scoring 80 ppg, 48% from the floor and 38% from 3-point range and 83% in free throws. NC States numbers their last 5, 64 ppg, 38% from the floor, 28% from 3-point range and 73% in free throws. Look for a motivated Hofstra team who is 27-7 overall and 10-5 SU on the road to keep it close.
3 Units - #675 South Dakota St (+9.5) vs Texas 3/19 *9 EST
Texas has been up and down all year and the best player on this floor is Mike Daum from SDSU, an NBA prospect who can light it up from all over the floor. Texas has been inconsistent as anyone in the country and faded down the stretch badly, and SDSU is no joke, a strong mid major team. You cannot trust Texas to win this by double digits against a team who is ranked 2nd in the NCAA in effective FG% and should hang around the entire game.
NCAA TOURNEY PLAY-IN GAME
3 Units - #671 Belmont (-3.5) vs Temple 3/19 *9:10 EST
I follow the Ohio Valley quite a bit and 3 teams were rock solid all year Belmont being one of them, and Belmont lost to Murray St in the OVC Championship game and frankly just had a bad day. Last 5 game stats are indicative of their season, they do a lot of things well except defense, but Temple cannot exploit it or trade punches as Belmont is high octane on the offensive side, and push the ball nonstop, scoring 88 ppg their last 5 games, and 86 ppg on the season. Temple will have to play a different brand of ball to win this, I just do not see them hanging all night with Belmont's offensive attack, they are relentless. Dylan Windler for Belmont is the best player on the floor tonight and an NBA draft pick, possible late 1st round. There is not a team in this tourney that wants Belmont in round 1, trust me.

4-Unit Play. Take #683 Lipscomb +2 over Davidson (Tuesday, March 19 at 7:00 PM ET)Take Lipscomb ATS as my 4-Unit CBB Smash for Tuesday night. This pick falls into one of my top college basketball systems and I have the Bison winning this game by 4 to 8 points here today. The Bison have shot 50% as a team over their last five games while averaging 80 points per game and they have held opponents to shooting just 39.4% against them on the road this season. The Bison are 21-7 ATS in their last 28 road games when playing a team that has a win rate above .600 and the Bison are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games against a non-conference opponent. Davidson is just 1-5 ATS in the last six games after a loss by more than 20 points and just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games when playing a team that has a win rate above .600. This is the Bison team that went to at the time #18 ranked TCU and beat them by nine points earlier this season and they also be a very good Vermont team by 25 points this season. Play Lipscomb ATS as we get back on track in CBB heading into the NCAA Tournament that I absolutely owned last year.

3-Unit Play: Take 694 Utah Valley -12 over CS-Northridge (9 p.m. Tues, March 19)I'm laying the points with Utah Valley on Tuesday night. The joint will be jumping at the UCCU in Orem, Utah on Tuesday. Unlike some of the CBI entries, the home team will be backed by an excited fan base. UVU is also out to prove they belong in a bigger tourney having won 24 of 33 games on the season. UVU shoots 53% at home, including 45% from the 3-point line, while taking nearly 21 3's per game. They shoot a lot of FTs at home, own the rebounding edge and average over 16 assists per game. CSUN is not good on the defensive end on the road and worst of all for the Matadors, they will play at UVU's desired pace having allowed over 80 ppg on the road this season. CSUN owns a strong point-spread record, but this is a tough spot for the 13-20 SU team. I'm laying the points with Utah Valley on Tuesday night. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

3 Unit Play. Take #669 Farleigh Dickinson -2 over Prairie View A&M (6:40 PM, Tuesday, March 19, Tru TV)Farleigh Dickinson has posted a 4-1 ATS record in their last five non-conference games and they have that same 4-1 ATS record in their last five games played on a Tuesday night for whatever reason. They have also covered the number in five of their last six games following an ATS win and they are an impressive 6-1 ATS in their last seven off a straight up victory. Prairie View, on the other hand, has struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone just 1-4-1 ATS in their last six where they faced a team with a winning % of .600 or higher and they have failed to cover the number in each of their last four non-conference games. Throw in the fact that the Knights have gone 7-1 ATS in their last eight games overall and we're going to lay the bucket or so with them here to get the win and cover over the Panthers in Dayton on Tuesday night.
4 Unit Play. Take #672 Temple +3.5 over Belmont (9:10 PM, Tuesday, March 19, Tru TV)
Temple has posted a 7-1 ATS record in their last eight games following an ATS loss and they have gone an excellent 14-6 ATS in their last 20 neutral site games. Belmont, on the other hand, has struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games played on a Tuesday night for whatever reason and they have that same 2-5 ATS record in their last seven neutral site games. Throw in the fact that the Bruins are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven NCAA Tournament games and we're going to take the points here with the Owls in a game that we think they can win outright in Dayton on Tuesday night.
2 Unit Play. Take #675 South Dakota St +9 over Texas (9:00 PM, Tuesday, March 19, ESPN)
South Dakota St has posted a 12-5 ATS record in their last seventeen games following a straight up loss and they have gone an excellent 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 games off a game where they failed to cover the spread. Texas, on the other hand, has struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone just 1-6 ATS in their last seven Tuesday night games and they are an awful 2-5 ATS in their last seven at home where they faced a team with a winning record on the road. Throw in the fact that the Jackrabbits are 7-3 ATS in their last ten non-conference games and we're going to take the points with them here in a game that we have a bit closer than the odds makers do in Austin on Tuesday night.
2 Unit Play. Take #683 Lipscomb +2 over Davidson (7:00 PM, Tuesday, March 19, ESPN 3)
Lipscomb has posted an 11-4 ATS record in their last fifteen road games where they faced a team with a winning record at home and they have gone an excellent 25-10-1 ATS in their last 36 road games overall. Davidson, on the other hand, has struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone just 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a straight up loss by 20 points or more and they are just 3-8 ATS in their last eleven games where they faced a team with a winning % of .600 or higher. Throw in the fact that the Bison are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 conference games and we're going to take the bucket or so with them here in a game that we think they win outright on the road at Davidson on Tuesday night.
2 Unit Play. Take #691 Dayton +4.5 over Colorado (11:00 PM, Tuesday, March 19, ESPN 2)
Dayton has posted a perfect 4-0 ATS record in their last five road games and they have also gone a perfect 5-0 ATS in their last five games following a straight up loss. They have also covered the number in five of their last six games off an ATS loss and they are an impressive 5-1 ATS in their last six on the road where they faced a team with a home winning % of .600 or higher. Colorado, on the other hand, has struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they have failed to cover the number in seven of their last nine games where they faced a team with an overall winning % of .600 or higher. Throw in the fact that the Flyers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games overall and we're going to take the points with them here in a game that we think they can win outright in Boulder on Tuesday night.

NOTE: UPDATED line to +8.57-Unit Play. Take #675 South Dakota State (+8.5) over Texas (9 p.m., Tuesday, March 19)
I love the underdog in this situation. I don't think that that Texas wants to play this game. They wanted to make the NCAA Tournament and came up just short. I don't think that this team is going to be very motivated at all for this one and not motivated enough to get a blowout win. Texas has lost three straight games and they have lost five of their last six. The Longhorns have only won two times since Feb. 10. South Dakota State has one of the best players in the country in Mike Daum and he is one of the greatest scorers in college basketball history with over 3,000 career points. SDSU has won eight of its last 10 games. They had one slip-up in their conference tournament. They will continue to play hard though. The Jackrabbits are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games after a loss and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 nonconference games. I think that South Dakota State has a great chance to pull the upset and win this game. I will take the points with this one.

Tuesday March 19th 2019-3 Unit Play Take #672 'under' 155 Belmont/Temple (9:10pm est):
Belmont comes out of the Ohio Valley Conference where they played the fastest tempo of any of conference in CBB this season. I expect they won't get as fast of a pace that they are use to here going up against Temple. Belmont scored more than 80 points in 20 of their 31 games this season. The big thing is they usually do this against bottom feeders, going above 80 points in 19 of their 22 games against teams ranked 117th or worse. When they faced a team better than 117th at Kenpom this year they went above 80 points just 1 time in 9 games and 6 of those 9 games also stayed below the posted total. Temple comes in ranked 76th at Kenpom this year.
Play 'under' in this one.
Thank you and good luck,
Jason Sharpe
