03-23-18 | Syracuse v. Duke UNDER 133.5 | 65-69 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
At 9:37 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Syracuse Orange (875) and the Duke Blue Devils (876). Syracuse (23-13) continued to refine their 2-3 zone defense on Sunday in their 55-53 upset win over Michigan State as a 10-point underdog. The Orange held the Spartans to just a 25.8% shooting percentage in that game. In their three NCAA Tournament games, Syracuse is allowing less than 54 PPG. The Orange will clearly want to continue to slow the tempo of this game down and hope the pressure of the moment will get to the Blue Devils as it did with the big favorites in Michigan State. The Syracuse zone has held these three opponents to making only 11 of their 54 (20.3%) shots from behind the arc. The Orange have then played 11 of their last 14 games Under the Total after holding their last opponent to no better than a 33% field goal percentage. It is this stingy defense that has kept this Syracuse team competitive as they are making only 37.8% of their shots in the Big Dance themselves. The Orange have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a point spread win. Syracuse has also played 6 straight games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. Additionally, the Orange have played 6 straight games Under the Total on a neutral court as an underdog or pick ‘em — and they have played 7 of their last 9 games Under the Total in the NCAA Tournament. |

03-23-18 | Clemson v. Kansas UNDER 143 | Top | 76-80 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 3 m | Show |
At 7:07 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Clemson Tigers (877) and the Kansas Jayhawks (878). Clemson (25-9) reached the Sweet 16 with their 84-53 upset win over Auburn on Sunday. The Tigers flexed their muscles on defense by holding the Tigers to just a 25.8% shooting percentage in what was their best defensive effort of the season. Clemson should be able to maintain this level of defensive intensity — they rank 7th in the nation in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency and have held their first two NCAA Tournament opponents to 32% shooting. The Tigers have then played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total after not allowing more than 60 points in their last game. Additionally, Clemson has covered the point spread in four straight games — and they have then played 8 of their last 11 games Under the Total after covering the point spread in two straight games while playing 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after covering the point spread in at least three straight games. It is on offense where the Tigers are likely to receive a visit from the Regression Gods after they made 51.6% of their shots in their first two games in the Big Dance including nailing 16 of their 40 (40%) shots from behind the arc. Clemson is not a strong offensive team — they ranked 11th in the ACC in Adjusted Efficiency. The Tigers shooting inside the arc has been the biggest surprise as they made 46 of their 80 (57.5%) 2-point shots after making only 46.2% of their shots inside the arc in ACC play which ranked 10th in the conference. The season-ending injury to their best player in 6’9 Donte Grantham has really hurt the offensive effectiveness of this team. With Grantham on the court, Clemson was making 56.6% of their shots inside the arc — but without him, they see that number drop to just a 45.4% slip for their 2-pointers. They were scoring 77 PPG before Grantham’s injury but that number dropped to a 68 PPG clip for this team before they began the Big Dance. The Tigers benefited from playing New Mexico State and an Auburn team that suffered their own challenging season-ending injury in Anfernee McLemore who their best post defender. Moving forward, the Tigers have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total in non-conference play. |

03-22-18 | Florida State v. Gonzaga UNDER 153.5 | 75-60 | Win | 100 | 3 h 52 m | Show | |
At 10:05 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Florida State Seminoles (819) and the Gonzaga Bulldogs (820). At first and second glance, the Total for this game looked like a pass for me. On the one hand, both of these teams like to play at a blistering pace with the goal of increasing possessions which should benefit the perceived talent advantage both these teams believe they generally enjoy. However, both of these teams retain some personality traits that suggest they tend to play lower scoring games in situations like this. Upon a final review this afternoon, I uncovered sufficient evidence on the Florida State (22-11) side of the equation that triggers my investment on the Under. I don’t think Seminoles’ head coach Leonard Hamilton will necessarily think that his team has the talent edge versus the team that reached the NCAA Championship Game last year. Certainly Hamilton has to like the depth of his roster after he used eleven players last Sunday in their 75-70 upset win over Xavier as a 5.5-point favorite. And, unquestionably, Hamilton wanted to increase the pace of the game when his team was trailing by 12 points with 10:42 left in that game. But will Hamilton want to slow this game down if his team takes a lead in this game? That was his modus operandi for many years coaching this team. It is interesting to note that his team have seen the possessions per game drop to 69 in each of their three games in postseason play (including their one game in the ACC Tournament) despite their 71.5 possessions per game average. With expected better defensive play between these two teams and even 2-3 fewer possessions, that is the likely formula for an Under. Hamilton’s teams in the Big Dance have played 8 of their last 11 games Under the Total. Florida State has also played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% — and they have played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total against teams outside the ACC. |

03-22-18 | Texas A&M v. Michigan UNDER 137 | 72-99 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 7 m | Show | |
At 7:35 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Texas A&M Aggies (817) and the Michigan Wolverines (818). Texas A&M (22-12) has won five of their last six games with their 86-65 upset win over North Carolina on Sunday as a 7-point favorite. The Aggies were outstanding on defense in that game as they held the Tar Heels to just a 33.3% shooting percentage while limiting their scoring rate to just a 0.84 Points-Per-Possession mark which was North Carolina’s third least efficient offensive performance of the season. Texas A&M has then played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 4 straight games Under the Total after a point spread victory. Additionally, the Aggies have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after scoring at least 85 points in their last game. Texas A&M has been dominant on the boards so far in this tournament having out-rebounded their first two opponents by +14 and +18 boards. They have then played 6 straight games Under the Total after out-rebounding their last two opponents by at least 10 Rebounds-Per-Game. Now the West Regional moves to the Staples Center in Los Angeles — and the Aggies have played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total when playing on a neutral court as an underdog or pick ‘em. |

03-22-18 | Loyola-Chicago v. Nevada UNDER 143.5 | 69-68 | Win | 100 | 6 h 3 m | Show | |
At 7:05 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Loyola-Chicago Ramblers (815) and the Nevada Wolf Pack (816). Loyola-Chicago (30-5) has won twelve games in a row with their 63-62 upset win over Tennessee on Saturday as a 4.5-point favorite. The Ramblers made 50% of their shots in what was their best offensive performance in their last six games. But this game shapes up to be a defensive battle. Loyola has held their last seven opponents to 62 or fewer points. The Ramblers have seen all those seven games finish Under the Total — and they have then played 10 of their last 12 games Under the Total after playing at least two straight games Under the Total. Additionally, Loyola has played 7 straight games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 5 straight games Under the Total after a point spread win. Furthermore, the Ramblers have played 4 straight games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. And in their last 6 games played on a neutral court, Loyola has played all 6 of these games Under the Total. 10* CBB play with the Under. Best of luck for us -- Frank.

At 10:00 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Utah Utes (767) and the Saint Mary’s Gaels (768). Utah (21-11) reached the NIT Quarterfinals on Monday with their 95-71 blowout won over LSU as a 5-point favorite. But the Utes have then played 6 straight games Under the Total after a win by at least 20 points. Utah has also played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a point spread victory. Now the Utes go on the road where they are scoring only 68.5 PPG on 44.0% shooting. They have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. And in their last 5 games against teams outside the Pac-12, the Under is 3-1-1 for Utah. |

03-20-18 | Mississippi State v. Louisville OVER 144 | Top | 79-56 | Loss | -108 | 2 h 44 m | Show |
At 9:00 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Mississippi State Bulldogs (667) and the Louisville Cardinals (668). Mississippi State (24-11) has won two straight games — as well as three of their last four games — with their 78-77 upset win at Baylor on Sunday as a 5.5-point underdog. The Bulldogs have then played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total after a point spread win. Mississippi State has also played a decisive 10 of their last 11 games Over the Total after a game where both teams scored at least 75 points. The Bulldogs stay on the road where they have played 6 of their last 8 road games Over the Total — and they have also played 6 of their last 8 road games Over the Total against teams with a winning record on their home court. |

At 11:00 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Washington Huskies (621) and the St. Mary’s Gaels (622). St. Mary’s (29-5) reached the second round of the NIT last Tuesday with their 89-45 win over Southeastern Louisiana as a 14.5-point favorite. The Gaels torched the Lions by making 59.3% of their shots which was the best offensive effort in their last eight games. This game shapes up to be more of a defensive struggle. St. Mary’s has played 13 of their last 18 games Under the Total after a win by at least 20 points — and they have played 7 straight games Under the Total after a win by at least 30 points. Additionally, the Gaels have paled 10 of their last 12 games Under the Total after a win at home — and they have played 9 of their last 11 games Under the Total after a point spread. Furthermore, this team has played 11 of their last 14 games Under the Total after scoring at least 80 points in their last game — and they have played 11 of their last 16 games Under the Total after not allowing more than 50 points in their last game. St. Mary’s gets to host this second round game where they are holding their opponents to just 59.8 PPG on 40.9% shooting. The Gaels have played 14 of their last 16 games Under the Total on their home court. And in their last 5 games against non-conference opponents, St. Mary’s has played 4 of these games Under the Total. |

03-18-18 | Texas A&M v. North Carolina UNDER 152 | 86-65 | Win | 100 | 4 h 43 m | Show | |
At 5:15 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Texas A&M Aggies (709) and the North Carolina Tar Heels (710). North Carolina (26-10) has won four of their last five games with their 84-66 win over Lipscomb on Friday. The Tar Heels have then played 24 of their last 36 games Under the Total after a win by double-digits — and they have played 20 of their last 29 games Under the Total after a win by at least 15 points. And while that game on Friday finished Over the 166.5 point total, North Carolina has then played 15 of their last 21 games Under the Total when playing a game with no more than one day of rest. The Tar Heels are playing better basketball on the defensive end of the court as their last five opponents have shot just 37.2% from the field. Additionally, North Carolina out-rebounded the Bison by +18 boards in that win — and they have then played 18 of their last 25 games Under the Total after out-rebounding their last opponent by at least 15 rebounds. Moving forward, the Tar Heels have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. And in their last 5 games played on a neutral court, North Carolina has played 4 of these games Under the Total. |

03-17-18 | Loyola-Chicago v. Tennessee UNDER 131 | Top | 63-62 | Win | 100 | 3 h 24 m | Show |
At 6:10 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Loyola-Chicago Ramblers (531) and the Tennessee Volunteers (532). Tennessee (28-8) played perhaps their best defensive game of the season on Thursday in their 73-47 win over Wright State. The Volunteers held the Raiders to just a 31.7% shooting percentage which was their best defensive performance of the season. Expect another outstanding defensive effort from Rick Barnes’ team as they have played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after allowing 50 or less points in their last game. Tennessee has also played 11 of their last 16 games Under the Total after a win by at least 20 points. This Vols team boasts the nation’s 5th best statistical defense in terms of Adjusted Efficiency. They should slow down this Ramblers’ juggernaut. Tennessee can be exploited on the offensive glass — they allow their opponents to rebound 31.3% of their missed shots which is 288th in the nation. But this Loyola-Chicago team sacrifices offensive rebounding to get back on defense — they only rebound 22.2% of their missed shots which is 332nd lowest in the nation. Of course, the Ramblers’ commitment to getting back on defense will frustrate the Volunteers who love to get their offense going on the fast break. Tennessee struggles in their half-court offense — they make only 47.2% of their shots inside the arc (282nd in the nation). Tennessee has played 10 of their last 12 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. And in their last 12 games with the Total set in the 130 to 139.5 point range, the Volunteers have played 9 of these games Under the Total. |

03-16-18 | Marshall v. Wichita State OVER 164.5 | 81-75 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 4 m | Show | |
At 1:30 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Marshall Thundering Herd (889) and the Wichita State Shockers (890). Marshall (24-10) has won four straight games — as well as ten of their last twelve games after winning the Conference USA Tournament with their 67-66 upset win over Western Kentucky as a 6-point underdog last Saturday. The Thundering Herd has then played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after a point spread victory. Head coach Dan D’Antoni deploys the same run-and-gun up-tempo 3-point shooting offense that his brother is overseeing with the Houston Rockets. 45.6% of the Thundering Herd’s shots are from behind the arc with 36% of their points coming from those shots. This fast pace has also resulted in Marshall allowing 79 PPG — and most of those opponents do not compare to the offensive talent that they will be facing with this Shockers team. Some bettors may be tempted by the Under given this is being played at 10:30 AM local time in San Diego — but both these teams are quite content in taking high-percentage shots inside the arc. The Thundering Herd make 56.1% of their 2-point shots which is 15th best in the nation. The fast pace should help push this game Over the big number — Marshall has played 17 of their last 25 games Over the Total when the Total is in the 160 to 169.5 point range. Furthermore, the Thundering Herd have played 14 of their last 19 games Over the Total against non-conference opponents. |

03-15-18 | Wright State v. Tennessee UNDER 132 | Top | 47-73 | Win | 100 | 5 h 37 m | Show |
At 12:40 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Wright State Raiders (737) and the Tennessee Volunteers (738). I used to like taking Unders for these early tournament games on neutral courts in the Conference Tournaments — but too many bettors started latching on to that angle to squash much of the value in these investments. I had no early Unders for the Conference Tournaments (and I might have had an Over?) — but I do like the convergence of factors for this game to be lower scoring than expected between two teams with stout defenses but who can experience scoring droughts. And this game will tip off 11:40 AM local time in Dallas which may contribute to a groggy start for both teams. Wright State (25-9) is a defense-first team that ranked 30th in the nation by allowing only 65.7 PPG. Led by 6’9 freshman Loudon Love and 6’11 Parker Ernsthausen make it very tough for opposing teams to score inside — the Raiders’ ranked 26th in the nation by limiting their opponents to making just 45.6% of their shots inside the arc with that number dropping to just a 44.3% mark in Horizon League play. This strength compels them to play at a slow pace where they are quite content to grind out low-scoring games. This Wright State team has a low effective field goal percentage of 49.0% ranking 254th in the nation — and they make only 34.0% of their shots from behind the arc which ranks 221st in the nation. Only Grant Benzinger makes more than 36% of his shots from 3-point land This team plays as if the first team to 65 points wins — they averaged only 64 PPG in their nine losses this year. They won the Horizon League Tournament with their 74-57 win over Cleveland State — and they have then played 7 straight games Under the Total after a win by at least 15 points. And while that game finished Over the 126.5 point total, the Raiders have then played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total after playing an Over. They limited the Vikings to only 4 offensive rebounds in that game to continue their strong protection of their defensive glass as they ranked 38th in the nation by limiting their opponents to pulling down just 25.0% of their missed shots. Wright State has then played 9 of their last 11 games Under the Total after not allowing more than 5 offensive rebounds in their last game. And in their last 10 games against teams outside the Horizon League, Wright State has played 7 of these games Under the Total. |

03-14-18 | Washington v. Boise State UNDER 148.5 | Top | 77-74 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 23 m | Show |
At 10:00 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Washington Huskies (625) and the Boise State Broncos (626). Washington (20-12) enters the NIT having lost two straight games after losing to Oregon State in the Pac-12 Tournament by a 69-66 score last Wednesday as a 2.5-point underdog. The Huskies made only 38.3% of their shots in that game but did hold the Beavers to a 39.3% shooting percentage. Washington has then played 20 of their last 24 games Under the Total after a loss to a conference rival. The Huskies have also played 20 of their last 26 games Under the Total — and they have played 20 of their last 26 games Under the Total after a point spread loss. Washington was the lower seed in this game — but a conflict with the Boise State basketball arena tonight means that the Huskies will be hosting this game. The Huskies have played 8 of their last 11 home games Under the Total. Washington has also played 19 of their last 26 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. And while this team has played their last two games Under the Total, they have then played 17 of their last 21 games Under the Total after playing at least two straight games Under the Total. |

03-14-18 | Colgate v. San Francisco UNDER 140.5 | Top | 68-72 | Win | 100 | 10 h 36 m | Show |
At 10:00 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Colgate Raiders (633) and the San Francisco Dons (634). San Francisco (18-15) has lost two of their last three games after their 88-60 loss to Gonzaga as a 13-point underdog back on March 5th. The Dons played their worst defensive game of the season by watching the Bulldogs make 53.3% of their shots in that game. Expect a strong defensive effort from San Francisco tonight as they have played 6 straight games Under the Total after allowing at least 80 points in their last game. The Dons have also played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a loss by at least 20 points — and they have played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss. San Francisco hosts this game where they hold their visitors to just a 42.6% shooting percentage — but they only make 42.8% of their shots as well. The Dons have played 5 of their last 6 home games Under the Total — and they have also seen the Under go 11-4-1 in their last 16 home games against teams with a losing record on the road. And in their last 8 home games with the Total set in the 130 to 139.5 point range, the game finished Under the Total 7 times. |

03-14-18 | Jacksonville State v. Canisius UNDER 144.5 | 80-78 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 44 m | Show | |
At 7:00 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Jacksonville State Gamecocks (645) and the Canisius Golden Griffins (646). Jacksonville State (21-12) saw their three-game winning streak snapped back on March 2nd with their 70-63 loss to Murray State as a 6-point underdog. The extended break may contribute to the Gamecocks being a bit sluggish on offense in this game. As it is, Jacksonville State has played 11 of their last 13 boarded games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played a decisive 38 of their last 51 boarded games Under the Total after a point spread loss including eight of their last ten boarded games in that situation. Furthermore, the Gamecocks scored only 25 points in the first-half of that game — and they have then played 6 straight road boarded games Under the Total after failing to score more than 25 points in the first-half in their last game. This team is playing well on the defensive end of the court as they have held their last five opponents to just a 40.6% shooting percentage. Now this team goes on the road where the Under is 41-16-1 in their last 58 boarded games against teams with a winning record on their home court. Additionally, in their last 32 boarded games with the Total set in the 140 to 149.5 point range, Jacksonville State has played 22 of these games Under the Total. |

03-13-18 | Southeastern Louisiana v. St. Mary's UNDER 139 | 45-89 | Win | 100 | 3 h 18 m | Show | |
At 10:00 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Southeastern Louisiana Lions (559) and the Saint Mary’s Gaels (560). Saint Mary’s (28-5) hoped to earn an at-large bid for the NCAA Tournament but will have to settle for the NIT after being left out of the Big Dance on Sunday. The Gaels’ NCAA Tournament dreams who were ruined when they lost to BYU in the Semifinals of the West Coast Conference Tournament last back on March 5th by an 85-72 score. The Gaels saw the Cougars make 61.1% of their shots in that game which was their worst defensive effort for the entire season. In fact, BYU was the first team to shoot at least 50% from the field against them since Georgia made 50.8% of their shots against them all the way back on November 26th. Expect a much better defensive effort from this team that holds their opponents to just a 41.3% of their shots on their home court. Saint Mary’s has seen the Under go 6-1-1 in their last 8 games after a point spread loss. And while the Gaels have made at least 47.8% of their shots in three straight games, they have then played 13 of their last 18 games Under the Total after making at least 47% of their shots in three straight games. Saint Mary’s gets to host this opening round game — and they have played 14 of their last 17 home games Under the Total on their home court. The Gaels have also played 8 of their last 9 home games Under the Total as a double-digit favorite. Furthermore, Saint Mary’s has played a decisive 37 of their last 52 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. And in their last 13 games with the Total set in the 140 to 149.5 point range, the Gaels have played 11 of these games Under the Total. |

03-13-18 | Long Island v. Radford UNDER 139 | Top | 61-71 | Win | 100 | 18 h 38 m | Show |
At 6:40 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Long Island Blackbirds (543) and the Radford Highlanders (544). Redford (22-12) earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament with their 55-52 win over Liberty last Sunday to win the Big South Conference Tournament. The Highlanders got it done by playing outstanding defense. They have held their last five opponents to just a 39.2% shooting percentage which is a bit lower than their 42.8% opponent’s field goal percentage for the season. Radford has then played 4 straight boarded games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 5 of their last 6 boarded games Under the Total after a win over a conference rival. Additionally, the Highlanders have played 6 of their last 7 boarded games Under the Total after not allowing more than 55 points in their last game. Radford’s win over Liberty occurred despite the Flames making 43.9% of their shots which was the best shooting percentage of their last seven opponents. The Highlanders shot 36.2% from the field which sounds low — but it was actually their best field goal percentage over their last three games. Scoring is an issue for this Radford team that makes only 41.2% of their shots away from home. They are making only 39.6% of their shots over their last five games. The Highlanders scored only 61 points in their previous game — and they have then played 5 of the last 6 games Under the Total after failing to score more than 65 points in two straight games. They only had 7 assists in their win over Liberty — and they have played 5 straight boarded games Under the Total after failing to generate at least 9 team assists in their last game. Long Island loves to shoot 3s as they average 23 shots from behind the 3-point line — but head coach Mike Jones coached teams have played 9 of their last 11 boarded games Under the Total against opponents who attempt at least 21 shots from behind the arc per game. Redford was 2nd in the Big South in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency — and they led the conference by holding their opponents to just a 47.1% shooting percentage inside the arc. |

03-09-18 | Mississippi State v. Tennessee UNDER 133 | Top | 59-62 | Win | 100 | 2 h 24 m | Show |
At 7:00 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Mississippi State Bulldogs (849) and the Tennessee Volunteers (850). Mississippi State (22-10) reached the Quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament yesterday with their 80-77 win over LSU as a 3-point favorite. The Bulldogs shot lights out in that game by making 58.3% of their shots which was not only their best field goal percentage over their last six games but also their third best offensive effort of the season. But Mississippi State has then played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after shooting at least 55% from the field in their last game. The Bulldogs have also played 30 of their last 46 road games Under the Total when playing with one day or rest between games. Additionally, Mississippi State has played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total when an underdog or a pick ‘em.

Wisconsin (14-17) advanced to the Quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament yesterday afternoon with their 59-54 upset win over Maryland as a 2.5-point underdog. The Badgers won that game despite making just 36% of their shots. Wisconsin has won four of their last five games in large part because they have finally started limiting their turnovers. Not offering opponents fast break transition opportunities was a foundational principle for this program under head coach Bo Ryan as they finished in Top-Five nationally in limiting turnovers in the final seven seasons of his coaching tenure. But this Badgers’ team under head coach Greg Gard was turning the ball over in 20.7% of their possessions after their first four games in Big Ten play. This young Wisconsin team has improved significantly in this department as they have not turned the ball over more than 15.9% of their possessions in each of their last eight games. Protecting the basketball has helped the Badgers slow the tempo and grind games out. They have played 4 of their last 5 games in conference play Under the Total. Wisconsin will certainly try to shorten the game and limit the number of scoring possessions for the Spartans. Michigan State is outscoring their opponents by +17.5 PPG — and the Badgers have played 7 of their last 8 road games Under the Total against teams that outscore their opponents by at least +4.0 PPG. Wisconsin has also played 22 of their last 31 games Under the Total as an underdog. Additionally, the Under is 12-3-2 in the Badgers’ last 17 games played on a neutral court.

But this Beavers team struggles on offense as they rank 8th in all three of those offensive categories as well. Oregon State makes only 43.2% of their shots on the road — but they do hold their home hosts to just a 42.8% shooting percentage.

However, this Oklahoma team has played 17 of their last 24 games Under the Total after failing to make more than 33% of their shots in their last game — and this includes four Unders in those last five situations. The team’s struggles on offense start with freshman sensation Trae Young who is in the midst of a terrible shooting slump. He has made only 10 of the 51 shots from 3-point land he has hoisted up during his team’s losing streak. Young tends to force his shot when his teammates are not making their shots — and this problem gets worse when they are playing on the road. Oklahoma is still averaging 87.5 PPG on 47.1% shooting. But the Sooners are scoring over 13 PPG less than their season average over their last five games while making just 43% of their shots over that stretch.

The Wildcats allowed the Mountaineers to make 54.9% of their shots in that game in what was their worst defensive effort in their last eight contests. Kansas State made only 29.8% of their shots in that game — and they will likely have trouble making baskets again tonight against this Longhorns team that holds their visitors to just a 39.7% shooting percentage on their home court. The Wildcats have played 8 of their last 9 games Under the Total on the road in Big 12 play. This is just Kansas State’s second game since last Monday — and they have played 9 of their last 11 games Under the Total when playing just their second game in a week.

But while the Blue Jays are making 50.4% of their shots overall, they see that number drop to just a 45.4% mark when on the road — so a complete reversal of fortune on the offensive end of the court is unlikely. Creighton has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a point spread loss. The Blue Jays have also played 20 of their last 28 games Under the Total in Big East play.

At 2:00 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Eastern Kentucky Colonels (569) and the Eastern Washington Eagles (570). This game is the opening game of the loser’s bracket of the MGM Grand Main Event right here in Las Vegas — and take note of the 11 AM PT local time tip for these two teams. These early tips often see at least one of the teams still trying to overcome morning lethargy. Eastern Kentucky (2-2) enters this game coming off an 80-70 upset loss to Prairie View A&M on Monday as a 10-point underdog. The Colonels have then played 21 of their last 29 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss. Eastern Kentucky has also played 17 of their last 22 games Under the Total after allowing at least 80 points in their last game. The Colonels saw Prairie View A&M make 48% of their shots which was their worst defensive performance of this young season — so expect a better effort on that end of the court this afternoon. Eastern Kentucky did make 30 of their 36 free throw attempts in that last game for a crisp 83.3% clip at the charity stripe. But the Colonels have then played 35 of their last 55 road games Under the Total after making at least 78% of their free throws in their last game. Additionally Eastern Kentucky has played 23 of their last 33 games Under the Total as the underdog. |

04-03-17 | North Carolina v. Gonzaga UNDER 154 | 71-65 | Win | 100 | 24 h 34 m | Show | |
At 9:20 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the North Carolina Tar Heels (601) and the Gonzaga Bulldogs (602). North Carolina (32-7) returns to the NCAA Championship Game after they survived a 77-76 win over Oregon on Saturday night. The Tar Heels won this game with defense as they held the Ducks to just 37.9% shooting while making only 36.8% of their own shots. Surprisingly, North Carolina made 8 of 21 shots from behind the arc for a 38.1% clip which was much better than the 30% mark from downtown they had put up in their three previous NCAA Tourney games. It was missing 30 of their 47 shots inside the arc for a subpar 36.2% clip that hampered the Tar Heels’ offense. Expect more clanks off the rim from both teams given the pressure of the moment. As it is, the Under is 10-3-1 in North Carolina’s last 14 games after a straight-up win. The Tar Heels have also played 14 of their last 20 games Under the Total when playing just their second game in a week. Moving forward, they will be facing a Gonzaga team that is best in the nation in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency while allowing only 61.2 PPG. North Carolina has played 6 straight games Under the Total against teams who do not allow more than 64 PPG. The Bulldogs also commit only 17 personal fouls per game — and the Tar Heels have played 10 of their last 13 games Under the Total against teams that do not commit more than 17 personal fouls per game. |

04-01-17 | Oregon v. North Carolina UNDER 153.5 | Top | 76-77 | Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show |
At 8:45 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Oregon Ducks (813) and the North Carolina Tar Heels (814). Oregon (33-5) held Kansas to just 35% from the field en route to their 74-60 win last Saturday. The Ducks flexed their defensive muscles in that game by holding a potent Jayhawks offense that had averaged 96 PPG in their three previous Tournament games to scoring just those 60 points in 64 possessions. In the Ducks’ four tournament games, they have averaged 66 possessions so it is likely that head coach Dana Altman will look to slow this game down where both teams do not have more than 65 possessions apiece — and that makes the Under look rather appetizing with the Total set in the low 150s. Oregon has played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total with the Total set in the 150-159.5 point range. The Ducks have also played 12 of their last 14 games played on a neutral court with the Total set in the 150-159.5 point range. And while the Tar Heels average 66 shots per game, Oregon has played 12 of their last 15 games Under the Total against teams that average at least 62 shots per game — and that includes 7 straight Unders when those games are the road. |

South Carolina (26-10) held Florida to just 41.7% shooting en route to their 77-70 victory last Sunday as 3-point underdogs in that game. The Gamecocks have then played a decisive 45 of their last 64 games Under the Total after a point spread victory — and that includes the Under cashing tickets in thirteen of their last eighteen games after a point spread win. Frank Martin’s team will look to make this game into a grind. While the Bulldogs hold their opponents to just a 36.5% shooting mark, South Carolina has played 20 of their last 28 games Under the Total against teams with a defensive field goal percentage of 42% or less. Furthermore, the Gamecocks have played 9 of their last 12 games Under the Total against teams outside the SEC. South Carolina has also played 10 of their last 12 games Under the Total when playing on a neutral court as an underdog.

At 8:00 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (711) and the TCU Horned Frogs (712). Georgia Tech (21-15) held Cal-State Bakersfield to just 35.0% on Tuesday en route to their 76-61 victory as 3.5-point favorites to put them in the Finals of the NIT. The Under is then 5-2-1 in the Yellow Jackets’ last 8 games after a point spread victory. Josh Pastner’s team is playing outstanding defense in this tournament after finishing 2nd in the ACC in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency. But this Georgia Tech team can struggle to find baskets after finishing last in the ACC in Adjusted Offensive Efficiency. This team shot just 43.3% from the field against the Roadrunners. Moving forward, the Yellow Jackets have played 13 of their last 18 games Under the Total against teams outside the ACC. Georgia Tech has also played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total when playing on a neutral court. And in their last 26 games as an underdog getting less than 7 points, the Under is 19-6-1. |

Georgia Tech (20-15) reached the NIT Semifinals with their 74-66 win at Mississippi last Tuesday. The Yellow Jackets have then seen the Under go 5-1-1 in their last 7 games after a point spread win. The team is getting it done on defense as they held the Rebels to just a 39.7% shooting percentage after finishing 2nd in the ACC in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency. Now first-year head coach Josh Pastner takes his team to Madison Square Garden for the Semifinals of the NIT — and the Yellow Jackets have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total when playing on a neutral court. Georgia Tech has also played 20 of their last 27 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%.

At 2:20 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the South Carolina Gamecocks (721) and the Florida Gators (722). South Carolina (25-10) held the Baylor Bears to just 30.4% shooting in their 70-50 win on Friday as a 3-point underdog. The Gamecocks have then played a decisive 45 of their last 63 games Under the Total after a point spread victory. This will be the third meeting between these SEC rivals — and this rubber match shapes up to be a low-scoring grind. The Gators won the last meeting between these two teams by an 81-66 score in Gainesville back on February 21st. Florida scored at a blistering 1.16 Points-Per-Possession rate while making 9 of their 19 shots from behind the arc. Expect better perimeter defense from this Gamecocks team that is 9th in the nation by holding their opponents to just a 30.2% mark from behind the arc. Regression also appears likely for this South Carolina team on offense. The Gamecocks are making 54% of their shots inside the arc after only shooting 44% of their 2-point shots in SEC play. Moving forward, South Carolina has played 10 of their last 12 games Under the Total as an underdog on a neutral court. And in their last 33 games as an underdog of less than 7 points, the Under is 25-7-1. |

Gonzaga (35-1) held West Virginia to just 26.7% on Thursday in their 61-58 victory. The Bulldogs have then played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a straight-up win. Gonzaga is playing outstanding defense in this tournament as their three opponents are shooting just 33.3% from the field while scoring at just a 0.85 Points-Per-Possession rate. Most impressively, the Bulldogs are holding their opponents to just 37% shooting inside the arc. Gonzaga needs their defense to continue to be outstanding when considering that they are shooting just 29% from behind the arc in this tournament. Moving forward, the Bulldogs have played 19 of their last 27 games Under the Total against teams outside the West Coast Conference. And in their last 8 games played on a neutral court, Gonzaga has played 6 of these games Under the Total. |

UCLA (31-4) held the Cincinnati Bearcats to just 44.8% shooting to advance to the Sweet 16 with their 79-67 victory as a 4-point favorite. The Bruins have then played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 4 straight games Under the Total after a point spread victory. The defensive struggles of this team is a tired meme that continues to offer us great value with the Under for Steve Alford’s team. This UCLA defense has improved since Alford installed a tricky 3-2 zone that presents opponents a challenging unique look. Save for their two games against Arizona and what the Bearcats shot against UCLA was their worst defensive performance in ten previous contests. The Bruins have seen the Under go 3-1-1 in their last 5 games against teams outside the Pac-12. And in their last 7 games played on a neutral court, UCLA has played 5 of these games Under the Total. |

The Bruins have then played 4 straight games Under the Total after scoring at least 90 points in their last game. UCLA has also played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a straight-up win. Steve Alford’s team has the reputation for having a mediocre defense — but they have held their last five opponents to just a 42.5% shooting mark.

UCLA has played 17 of their last 22 road games Under the Total against teams that do not allow more than 64 PPG. The Bruins have also played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total as a favorite.

Florida State (26-8) has won three of their last four games with their 86-80 win over the Florida Gulf Coast as an 11.5-point favorite on Thursday. While the Seminoles had a willing dance partner for their preferred fast pace in that contest, that will certainly not be the case against this Musketeers team that will be looking to make this game into a slog. As it is, the Under is 3-0-1 in Florida State’s last 4 games after a straight-up win — and the Under is 10-4-1 in their last 15 games after a point spread loss.
