A premier SEC matchup takes us into the final stretch of the season as the upstart Arkansas Razorbacks host the LSU Tigers on Wednesday night. Arkansas took the first matchup between these two squads back on January 15th by a score of 65-58 in Baton Rouge. The visiting covered the -6.5 spread by the thinnest of margins, and we can expect a slightly higher spread for Arkansas at home. In that game, LSU turned up the defense with an impressive 14 steals and 4 blocks but were heavily outrebounded by Arkansas. Despite having only half the steals that LSU did, Arkansas managed to score 20 points off of turnovers compared to just 13 for LSU.

The Tigers will need to implement their trademark stingy .........

It wasn’t too long ago that Auburn looked unbeatable this season. The Tigers still have a 25-4 record, but three of its losses have come in their last six games against Florida, Tennessee, and Arkansas. With only two games left, Auburn likely has first place in the SEC locked up, but will still need a win to fend off Kentucky and Arkansas. While Mississippi State isn’t in Auburn’s league in terms of talent, it is catching Auburn at an awkward point in the season. Auburn’s offensive and defensive ratings have slipped as of late and the team is reeling heading into the SEC tournament. Slow teams tend to frustrate Auburn, and Mississippi State plays at the 270th fastest pace in......

A key Western Conference matchup will pit two perennial MVP candidates against each other when Luka Doncic visits Steph Curry in the bay. The Warriors have struggled without Draymond Green in the lineup but one of the more convincing wins during this stretch came against Dallas in a 130-92 victory at home. The Mavs have been the better team as of late with a 7-3 record over its last ten games. When the Mavericks traded Kristaps Porzingis, they also traded a lot of their size advantage in the starting five. Now, they have to go smaller at the five with either Dwight Powell or Maxi Kleber. While the Warriors aren’t generally one to take advantage of opposing centers, not having one against ......

Here we have another late season revenge game as the Houston Cougars host the SMU Mustangs in AAC conference play. The top ranked Cougars were shocked back on February 9th, when SMU handed them its first conference loss of the season by a score of 85-83. SMU has been a difficult team to handicap as they seem to show up for big games. After defeating Houston, SMU inexplicably lost two games later at Temple. They have won the next two games including a key matchup against Memphis, so it seems like SMU is able to right the ship following a bad loss. Houston seemed to take that loss harder as it also proceeded to drop the next game against the same Memphis team that SMU beat.

Since then it has ......

The Corn Huskers have had another forgettable season in the Big Ten conference, leading to a 7-20 record with all seven of those wins coming at home. Nebraska is also 1-9 in their last ten games, and have lost three straight overall. The Hawkeyes are not living up to last season’s standard but have still accumulated a 19-8 record although the team has struggled as of late going 6-4 in its last ten games. These two teams played just twelve days ago in Iowa where the Hawkeyes dominated Nebraska by a score of 98-75. Iowa holds a distinct advantage over Nebraska in almost every statistical category including field goal %, rebounding, true shooting % and both offensive and defensive ratings.

Winnipeg Jets @ Colorado Avalanche Revenge will be on the minds of Winnipeg after losing to Colorado by a score of 7-1 back in early January. The Avs have rolled this year to a 36-10-4 record to take first place in the Central division, while the Jets have struggled to a middling 22-20-8 record, good for sixth place in the Central. Colorado is also a sparkling 21-3-2 at home and 12-4-2 against division rivals. On paper, Colorado’s offense is easily the best unit in the game averaging more than a goal per game more than Winnipeg. On the defensive end, both teams leave a lot to be desired, particularly with two bottom half penalty killing units. The Avs will be without superstar Nathan .........

The defending Stanley Cup Champions welcome Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to town on Wednesday in a matchup that will have the hockey world watching. The Oilers have gone 5-1 under new head coach Jay Woodcroft, with three of those wins coming on the road. Edmonton did just lose their last game at home to Minnesota by a score of 7-3, but will look to regroup and kick off a five-game Eastern road trip that begins with back to back games against two of the best teams in the NHL in Tampa Bay and Florida. Tampa certainly has a size advantage over Edmonton and a serious edge in net as well with Andrei Vasiilveskiy likely manning the crease. He’ll have to contend with Edmonton’s ninth ......

The Blue Devils will certainly have revenge on their minds when they head to Charlottesville on Wednesday to take on the Cavaliers. Virginia upset Duke on February 7th, beating them 69-68 in Durham for only Duke’s fourth loss of the year. The previous three had come against Ohio State, Miami, and Florida State respectively. Since February 7th, Duke has gotten back to their winning ways with four straight wins, going 2-2 against the spread in those four games. Virginia has gone 2-1 including a victory over Miami last game by a score of 74-71. On paper this seems like a no-brainer: revenge for a Duke team that has steamrolled its conference opponents this year.

Duke has the sixth best .........

First of all, in my opinion, this Houston team still isn’t getting enough respect from the NCAA. This team has dismantled its opposition this year, and because it is not in a Power 5 conference, it just does not get any love. With that being said, I’ve been on Houston all season long this year and it has been profitable. The Cougars can do it at both ends of the floor, and have dominated the glass against nearly every opponent. It is an incredibly efficient offense with one of the best three-point shooting backcourts in the Conference.

You might look at Wichita State as a beloved underdog from year’s past, but the Shockers simply cannot match up against the size and offense of Houston. .........

Sunday morning Big Ten action starts with two long-time rivals clashing in Madison, Wisconsin. The Wolverines find themselves on the March Madness bubble, currently sitting seventh in the conference, with a mediocre 14-10 record. Perhaps the oddest thing about Michigan’s record is how well it has performed in some metrics. It is currently ranked 58th in the nation in offensive ranking and while its defense could certainly use some improvement, it’s difficult to see why this team simply hasn’t outscored its opposition. It outranks Wisconsin in key metrics like rebounding, field goal percentage, and true shooting percentage.

Michigan does come into the game winners of three of their last four, and do seem to be turning .........
