Event	NCAA Jacksonville State @ Austin Peay
Selection	Austin Peay -9.5
Strength	10/10
Date	25/01/2007
Bookmaker/Price	Bet365 @ 1.90 (Back)
Reasoning	Austin Peay are leadin the OVC with a 8-1 record 11-6 overall, Jacksonville St are 3-7 in the OVC and 5-14 overall. These team met earlier this month with Austin winning by 15. Austin has a well balanced team with 5 players averaging more than 7.5 Ppg, while Jacksonville rely on their big men. While Jacksonville St are strong inside they can't keep up with the quickness of the Austin Peay back court.

Event	NCAA Cal Santa Barbara @ Cal St Northridge
Selection	Cal St Northridge -3
Strength	10/10
Date	25/01/2007
Bookmaker/Price	Coral @ 1.90 (Back)
Reasoning	Northridge have been playing this month posting a 4-1 record while Sanat Barbara is slipping losing 3 of 4 all within the Big West conference. Northridge beat Long Beach State who hammered Santa Barbara by 40 points a couple of weeks ago. Northridge are much deeper team than Santa Barabara, and as long as they hold UCSB guard Alex Harris in check they should take this one.

Oregon State @ Washington State

Washington State is 11-6 ATS this season (8-1 ATS their last nine games) and 6-2 ATS at home.

They covered 7 of last 9 meetings at home vs Oregon and they trashed they rivals in last game by 28 points and have been resting for five days now and should be hungry to hit the court again.

Oregon State is 5-15 ATS off a home loss where they scored under 60 points

Big difference between talent between these teams and Washington St. has the ability to win by over 25 points.

Washington State -16 hcp - 1.95 @ Pinnacle 2/10





Cal Santa Barbara @ CS Northridge

Not big difference between teams exept that Santa Barbara has better defence. I choose to play because of all trends favor Santa Barbara here.

CS-Northridge is 3-12 ATS after 2 consecutive non-conference games over the last 2 seasons.
CS-Northridge is also 2-9 ATS off a home win over the last 2 seasons

Cal Santa Barbara +3 hcp - 2.00 @ Pinnacle 5/10




UCLA @ California

UCLA with three straight wins are 17-1 so far this season and they tend to do well vs California and UCLA has won 3 of the last 4 meetings SU so I'm hoping for a new win tonight.

UCLA -6 hcp - 1.92 @ Pinnacle 5/10



I also like St.Louis -4 vs Charlotte because in last 10 meetings between both teams Home team win in 8th games,but the 49ers are 0-5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in St Louis

Great Don, NCAA basketball is so much more exciting than the NBA. I was actually surprised there was no thread for NCAA. This time of year is great for NCAAB all the way through March.

Event	Clemson @ Duke
Selection	Over 131
Strength	10/10
Date	25/01/2007
Bookmaker/Price	Coral @ 1.93 (Back)
Reasoning	Duke have been quite stingy at home lately but they haven't faced a back court that will attack them like Clemson. The Tigers have 5 scorers that average more than 10 points a game. There guards Hammonds and Hamilton will attack Paulus and Nelson. You know Duke will score at home. I expect an up tempo game with the guards attacking the basket forcing fouls.

2-1 on the night, go call on Santa Barbara Don, I wish I was aware of those trends. Either way a good start on the college hardwood.

5 wins, 1 loss and 1 push....great night at NCAA !

donald you going to post more picks tonite

Bradley @ Missouri St

Missouri has three straight losses and it's a perfect oppurtunity for them to bounce back.
Missouri are 9-2 at home this season and all nine of those victories came by a minimum of eight points with eight of them coming by at least 13 points.

Bradley is nothing special away from home and Missouri are 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS the last four times they hosted the Bradley Braves.

Missouri St -7.5 hcp - 1.95 @ Pinnacle

Seton Hall @ Rutgers

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights is 17-5 ATS off a loss of more than 10 points since March 9, 2003, including 10-1 ATS at home.
Great chance to bounce back from the 62-40 loss at South Florida for Rutgers.

Rutgers +2.5hcp - 1.95 @ Pinnacle

Oregon at Washington State

Oregon beat them three times last year so this is a triple revenge spot for Washington State. They allow just 39% shooting at home and they will be controlling the match today from the beginning to the end.

Washington State -4hcp - 1.92 @ Expekt

Event	Samford @ Austin Peay
Selection	Austin Peay -2
Strength	10/10
Date	27/01/2007
Bookmaker/Price	Bet365 @ 1.66 (Back)
Reasoning	Austin Peay have won 9 straight and most of those have come within the OVC conference. Autin Peay's backcourt will attack the bigger yet slower Samford players forcing fouls. Austin Peay have gotten to the free throw line over 400 times while Samford is a bit over 300. Samford live and die by the 3-point shot but Austin Peay are a quick team that won't allow the Samford players to spot up and shoot.

Villanova at Notre Dame

Revenge spot for Notre Dame for the loss away vs Villanova 10 days ago.
Notre Dame are playing great at home with 14-0 and have great chance for new win since Villanova are playing without best scorer tonight.

Notre Dame -3hcp - 1.92 @ Expekt

Event	Boise State @ Idaho
Selection	Idaho +10
Strength	8/10
Date	27/01/2007
Bookmaker/Price	Bet365 @ 1.90 (Back)
Reasoning	These isn't as big of mismatch as the spread may indicate. Idaho haven't lost by more than 10 at home since early December. They are 2-2 @ home since that loss and have been pleying teams tough losing by 1 and 5 to a good New Mexico State team. Boise St are 1-7 on the road this season with their 1 win coming against Northridge who are in a weaker conference.

Rutgers can't finish game and Notre Dame is being outplayed so far..NCCA didn't start well tonigt...


edit: rutgers pulled it off after double OT but things look much harder for Notre Dame...

Event	Murray St @ S E Missouri St
Selection	SE Missouri St ML
Strength	10/10
Date	27/01/2007
Bookmaker/Price	Bet365 @ 1.90 (Back)
Reasoning	Both team are pretty even with Murray St being 8-11 (6-5 OVC), while SEM St are 8-13 (6-6 OVC). A play that I find works is taking a team that beat the other on the road. That is exactly what SE Mizzou St did earlier this month 96-85. At home SE Missouri St are a modes 4-4 but Murray State are no road warriors they are 3-7 on the road. At decnt odds for a home win SE Missouri St is the play.
