This is a 10* TOTAL BK on the UNDER 76ers/Hawks.

These teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games of late, but all signs point to a much tighter and ultimatley lower-scoring outcome here in my opinion.

Philadelphia is just 23-47 after three straight losses. The 76ers have seen the total go OVER in five straight, but note that looking back Philadelphia has seen the total go UNDER in four of its last five after playing to five or more straight OVERs in a row.

Atlanta is 34-36 after back-to-back wins. The Hawks have seen the total go OVER in three straight following a 124-115 upset win over the Warriors last time out, but note that Atlanta has seen the total go UNDER in eight of its last 12 after playing to three or more straight OVERs in a row.

The overall situation that each team finds itself in, combined with the above-listed numbers/trends all combine and point to this total being TOO high. 

So the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP

This is my 10* NIT SECOND ROUND GOY on Arkansas State.

In a contest that I see being decided by whichever team has its hands on the ball last, I'm grabbing the points. 

Both teams dominated in their opening-round matchup.

Arkansas State beat Saint Louis 103-78, while North Texas beat Furman 75-64. The Red Wolves average 79.9 PPG, while allowing 70.4. UNT averages 68.3, while allowing 59.8.

It's a classic clash of styles here, and while "defense wins championships" typically, I don't think that's going to be the case in this particular matchup though. 

North Texas is great at home, but Arkansas State is loaded with talent and has the ability to win this one outright in my opinion.

Grab the points, the play is ARKANSAS STATE.

Good luck, NP

This is my 10* NCAA SECOND ROUND TOURNEY TOY on the OVER Oregon/Arizona.

These teams are familiar with each other, despite now playing in different conferences.

Oregon beat Indiana 72-59 in the Big Ten Conference Tournament, but then fell 74-64 to Michigan State. The Ducks then opened up the NCAA Tournament with a dominant 81-52 victory over Liberty as seven-point favs. All three of those games went UNDER the number, but note that looking back Oregon has seen the total go OVER the number in seven of its last ten after playing to three or more straight UNDERS in a row.

Arizona won its first two conference games over KU and Texas Tech, but then the Wildcats fell 72-64 to Houston in the Big 12 Tournament. Arizona then opened up the NCAA Tourney with an impressive 93-65 win over Akron.

Both teams' offenses took center stage in the first round, and I believe that'll again be the case here in the second.

This O/U line is low, the play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP

This is a 10* CBI GOY on Army.

I'm not calling for an outright victory here or anything, but I do think this one will be a "nail-biter." Because of that, I'm grabbing the poitns.

This CBI quarterfinal game is being played at the Ocean Center at Daytona Beach Florida. 

The Black Knights advanced by beating Elon by a score of 83-78 yesterday. Normally, playing the second game of a back-to-back isn't the best thing for a team, but I'll argue that it is in this case. Army hadn't played since March 6th previous to yesterday's game, so the Black Knights are rested.

Florida Gulf Coast finished third in the A-Sun, losing 71-65 to Queens in the Conference Tournament. But, that was all the way back on March 3rd as well. I'll also argue, that "rest" is going to lead to "rust" here for FGCU, and that yesterday's win for Army will now only help it here in the second game of the back-to-back. 

I'm grabbing the points, the play is ARMY.

Good luck, NP
