Jack's Free Pick Saturday: UC-San Diego +4.5

I love the spot for UC-San Diego tonight. The Tritons have had the last week off last playing on Saturday. They will be rested and out for revenge from a 61-59 home loss to UC-Irvine as 2.5-point favorites.

Now the Tritons are catching 4.5 points on the road in the rematch, a 7-point adjustment for flipping home courts. Home-court advantage has meant nothing in this series with the road team going 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS in the last three meetings over the last two seasons.

Not to mention, UC-Irvine is a much more tired team coming into this one. The Anteaters just played on Thursday and beat Long Beach State 69-58 on the road. They benefited from the Beach shooting just 2-of-18 (11.1%) from 3-point range.

With only one day of rest and preparation for the Anteaters compared to six days for the Tritons, this line should be much closer to PK. Bet UC-San Diego Saturday.

20* Rockets/Knicks ABC No-Brainer on New York -3

I love the spot for the New York Knicks tonight. They will be motivated to bounce back from a 126-111 home loss to the Pistons, who just have their number winning all three meetings this season. The Knicks shot just 8-of-35 (22.9%) from 3-point range in that loss and were rusty coming out of the All-Star Break.

I love the spot for the Knicks because they have been dominant following a loss. In fact, the Knicks are 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS in their last three games following a loss with three blowout wins over the Nets by 54, the Celtics by 22 on the road and the 76ers by 49 on the road.

The Rockets have been very overvalued this season especially since losing Steven Adams to injury. Houston is just 5-18 ATS in its last 23 games overall. They won by 4 at Charlotte coming out of the break against a Hornets team missing three key players. They won't be playing with the same kind of urgency the Knicks will be tonight. New York should dominate the boards without Adams which will be a key to them winning and covering. Bet the Knicks Saturday.

15* Big West PLAY OF THE DAY on CS-Northridge/Long Beach State OVER 157.5

CS-Northridge is a dead nuts OVER team going 16-9 OVER in all games this season including 9-3 OVER in road games. The Matadors rank 3rd in the country in adjusted tempo. They play fast and don't let anyone else dictate their tempo.

Long Beach State has been a dead nuts OVER team at home going 10-2 OVER in all home games. The Beach also like to play faster ranking 143rd in adjusted tempo.

This will be a rematch from a 87-80 road win by Long Beach State over CS-Northridge for 167 combined points. Neither team shot lights out, either. Northridge was particularly bad shooting 40.9% from the field and 26.3% from 3-point range. Long Beach shot 46.6% from the field and 33.3% from 3-point range. Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

15* MWC PLAY OF THE DAY on New Mexico/Fresno State OVER 155

New Mexico is a dead nuts OVER team going 17-8 OVER in all games this season. The Lobos rank 53rd in adjusted tempo and 43rd in average length of offensive possession. They are 9-3 OVER in their last 12 games overall with 150 or more combined points in 10 of those 12 games. This total of 155 is pretty short for a game involving the Lobos.

Fresno State is 3-0 OVER in its last three games overall with 169 combined points with Utah State, 156 with Air Force and 174 with Wyoming. The Bulldogs also combined for 194 points with UNLV recently.

This is a rematch from a 83-74 win by New Mexico at home in their first meeting this season for 155 combined points. Neither team shot that well with Fresno State connecting on just 38.9% from the field and New Mexico 42.7% from the field and 28.6% from 3-point range. Both teams are likely to shoot better in the rematch, which should lead to an easy OVER. Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

15* Michigan/Duke ESPN ANNIHILATOR on Duke ML +125

Michigan is getting a lot of love for its 11-game winning streak coming into this one. The Wolverines have also covered five of their last six. They are coming off a 91-80 road win at Purdue that pretty much locked up the Big Ten title for them, and I have to think this is a bit of a letdown spot despite the fact that it is Duke.

I have now doubt Duke will be 'all in' for this game. The Blue Devils will feel disrespected as underdogs to the Wolverines. They are coming off a 101-64 home win over Syracuse on Monday and have had the last four days off to rest and prepare to beat Michigan. Wrong team favored here. Bet Duke on the Money Line Saturday.

15* Summit League PLAY OF THE DAY on St. Thomas/Denver OVER 167

Denver is a dead nuts OVER team going 19-7 OVER in all games this season. The Pioneers rank 70th in adjusted offense and 35th in adjusted defense.

St. Thomas is the best offensive team in the Summit League ranking 5th in the entire country in effective FG percentage. The Tommies are 6-1 OVER in their last six games overall going for 161 or more combined points in six of those seven games.

St. Thomas beat Denver 92-88 at home for 180 combined points in their first meeting this season. Neither team shot great with Denver going 8-of-21 (38.1%) from 3 and St. Thomas going 13-of-33 (39.4%) from 3. That is very repeatable in the rematch. Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

15* MVC PLAY OF THE DAY on Northern Iowa -6

Northern Iowa wants revenge from a 65-50 road loss at Southern Illinois on January 28th. The Panthers shot just 4-of-17 (23.5%) from 3-point range in that game and were playing without an injured Tristan Smith (9.1 PPG, 5.2 RPG).

The Panthers have gone 5-1 SU & 5-1 ATS in their six games since and have gotten Smith back in the lineup for five of those six games. They are playing their best basketball of the season with their only loss coming by 5 at Belmont, the top team in the MVC. All five wins have come by 12 points or more, including a 29-point road win at Murray State, a 21-point road win at Indiana State, a 12-point home win over Bradley and a 24-point home win over Drake.

Northern Iowa is 11-3 at home this season while Southern Illinois is 5-8 in true road games. The home team is 8-1 SU & 9-0 ATS in the last nine meetings as home-court advantage has been huge in this series. Bet Northern Iowa Saturday.

20* Big East GAME OF THE MONTH on Villanova +3

The UConn Huskies are very fortunate to have a 24-3 record this season. They have 10 wins by 8 points or fewer and have gone 10-2 in such games. They are just 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games overall and should not be favored at Villanova today.

The Wildcats want revenge from a 75-67 (OT) road loss at UConn in their first meeting this season. They already proved they could play with the Huskies on the road, and I love their chances of pulling off the upset at home today. They have won six consecutive games coming into this one and are one of the more underrated teams in the country. Bet Villanova Saturday.

15* Big Ten PLAY OF THE DAY on UCLA +7.5

UCLA is fully healthy coming into this game which hasn't been the case for much of the season. The Bruins have one of the biggest home/road splits in the Big Ten, too. They are 14-1 SU at home this season with their lone loss coming by a single point to Indiana in OT. Getting 7.5 points with the Bruins is a nice value here.

Illinois is getting too much love for its blowout win at USC on Wednesday against a very short-handed Trojans team. The Bruins will offer much more resistance today. They will slow this thing down to a crawl and points will be at a premium. Bet UCLA Saturday.

15* CBB Saturday UPSET SHOCKER on Coastal Carolina ML +105

Coastal Carolina has a massive rest advantage over Marshall today and should not be home underdogs as a result. The Chanticleers will be playing just their 2nd game in 9 days, while the Thundering Herd will be playing their 5th game in 11 days.

Marshall is coming off a pair of hard-fought narrow wins by 4 over South Alabama on Monday and by 1 at Appalachian State on Thursday. They needed a double-digit 2H comeback to beat App State on Thursday, and now they have just one day to get ready for Coastal Carolina.

The Chanticleers already beat Marshall 85-83 on the road in their first meeting this season. They won that game despite Marshall shooting lights out going 9-of-17 (52.9%) from 3-point range. They are unlikely to shoot that well again on very tired legs in the rematch today. Bet Coastal Carolina on the Money Line Saturday.

15* C-USA PLAY OF THE DAY on Western Kentucky +8

Liberty is overvalued due to its 23-3 record that includes a 17-game winning streak currently. But the Flames have been ridiculously lucky in close games going 13-1 in games decided by 9 points or less. Only 3 of their last 16 wins have come by more than 11 points, so asking them to win this game by 8-plus points to beat us is asking too much.

Western Kentucky only lost 76-69 in its first meeting with Liberty. And the Flames shot an unsustainable 17-of-29 (58.6%) from 3-point range in that 7-point win. That's not going to happen again.

While WKU has had the last two days off and will be playing just its 3rd game in 14 days, Liberty is coming off a 90-89 (OT) win over FIU at home on Thursday. The Flames are a very tired team with just one day off in between games and playing their 4th game in 11 days. Bet Western Kentucky Saturday.

15* CBB Saturday Undervalued Underdog on Kansas State +14.5

It's no surprised Kansas State had one of its best efforts of the season last time out after the firing of Jerome Tang. The Wildcats pulled the 90-74 upset of Baylor as 3.5-point home dogs on Tuesday. Now they will be giving Texas Tech a run for its money today.

Kansas State has shown it can play its best basketball on the road in Big 12 play this season. In fact the Wildcats are 4-0 ATS in their last four Big 12 road games. Four of their last five road losses came by 5 points or fewer, and the other was a 14-point loss at Houston as 22.5-point dogs.

Texas Tech cannot be a 14.5-point home favorite today without the services of its best player in Jayden Toppin (21.8 PPG, 10.8 RPG, 1.7 BPG). Toppin was lost to a season-ending ACL injury in an upset loss to Arizona State on Tuesday. The Red Raiders' season is basically over now without him. Bet Kansas State Saturday.

20* Big East TOTAL OF THE MONTH on Xavier/Butler OVER 159.5

Xavier is a dead nuts OVER team going 20-6 OVER in all games this season and 7-1 OVER In road games. The Musketeers rank 37th in adjusted tempo, 27th in average length of offensive possession, 91st in adjusted offense and 121st in adjusted defense.

Butler also likes to play fast ranking 129th in adjusted tempo and 83rd in average length of offensive possession. They are much better on offense (67th) than defense (126th). They also just got leading scorer Finley Bizjack (17.5 PPG) back from injury.

Xavier beat Butler 89-75 for 164 combined points in their first meeting this season. Neither team shot very well either with Xavier shooting 47.3% overall and 32.1% from 3, while Butler shot 43.3% overall and 29.6% from 3. So there's room for improvement in the shooting department for both teams in the rematch today. Bet the OVER in this game Saturday.

25* Big 12 GAME OF THE YEAR on Houston -4.5

The spot really favors the Houston Cougars today. They are coming off a 70-67 road loss to Iowa State on Monday. They led by double-digits in the 2H and it took a minor miracle for the Cyclones to come back and beat them. They gave Iowa State their toughest home test of the season, a place that is very difficult to play.

Now the Cougars are rested and ready to go after having the last four days off. They will be highly motivated to bounce back, especially with the Big 12 regular season title on the line today. And while they are fully healthy, the same cannot be said for Arizona.

The Wildcats have been exposed in their last three games going 1-2 SU & 0-3 ATS. They lost to Kansas without Dylan Peterson, lost in OT at home to Texas Tech, and barely beat BYU by 7 at home despite the Cougars missing their 2nd-best player in Richie Saunders.

The Wildcats have injury problems of their own without second-leading scorer Koa Peat (13.8 PPG, 5.4 RPG) for this one. They also just played BYU on Wednesday, so they have just two days to get ready for Houston. The Cougars are 13-0 at home this season outscoring opponents by 25.4 points per game. Bet Houston Saturday.
