College Basketball Picks NCAA Hoops Previews

The Kansas Jayhawks have been the No. 1 team in college basketball for a majority of the season, with the exception of a couple of weeks.

As it stands, the Jayhawks are the odds-on to win the NCAA basketball championship at +150 at most online sportsbooks.

Kansas’ regular season is coming to an end—they only have three games left—and they are in Oklahoma State this weekend to play the Cowboys.

Let’s look at some key NCAA Trends for this weekend.

The Jayhawks are polar opposites when it comes to straight up and against the spread records, going 8-0 SU in their last eight but only 1-7 ATS.

The story is the same in Kansas’ last 11 road games with records of 8-3 SU and 3-7-1 ATS.

In its last 10 overall games against Oklahoma State, Kansas has won seven games straight up and the Under has cashed seven times as well.

Villanova vs. Syracuse
Sport is full of clichés but Saturday’s game between the No. 8 Villanova Wildcats and the No. 4 Syracuse Orange is truly a battle that will show which team is the beast of the Big East—Syracuse and ‘Nova are 1-2 in the conference respectively.

The game will take place in Syracuse.

In the Orange’s last 14 games, they are 13-1 SU and 10-4 ATS and have taken 10 Unders in that span.

In Syracuse’s last 20 home games they are 18-2 straight up.

Villanova comes into the Syracuse game taking nine of its last 12 overall games SU and is 7-3 SU in its last 10 road games with eight Overs in those same 10 games.

The Orange have struggled in their last nine against Villanova however, as they are only 2-7 SU and 3-6 ATS.

Furthermore, Syracuse has also struggled in the last 12 games they have hosted Villanova, going 3-9 against the spread.

Kentucky vs. Tennessee
The Kentucky Wildcats are currently the consensus No. 2 team in the nation and after a game against South Carolina on Thursday, prepare for a big game against the No. 17 Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday.

Kentucky has prospered on the road, going 8-1 SU and 7-2 ATS in its last nine away from home.

The Wildcats have had a decided advantage over the Volunteers in their last 13 overall games, going both 10-3 SU and ATS.

The days keep counting down to Selection Sunday, March Madness and the Final Four.

Have a good weekend.

NBA Betting Previews

The 2010 NBA trade deadline has come and gone and while the Cleveland Cavaliers didn’t get the Phoenix Suns’ Amare Stoudemire, like they wanted, they still were able to score Antawn Jamison from the Washington Wizards and Sebastian Telfair from the L.A. Clippers.

“We are very excited to have an experienced all-star player of Antawn's caliber and character join us,” said Cavs GM Danny Ferry after making the deal.

“He has the ability to add a special, unique dimension to our team with a strong inside presence and the ability to stretch teams defensively, while impacting the entire court.”

NBA Future Odds Update – NBA Basketball Picks

A look at players listed in the box score from the loss to the Magic shows just three players remaining from the Cleveland Cavaliers NBA championship runner up team from the 2006-2007 season: Daniel Gibson, Anderson Varejo and that other guy.

And the only starter on rosters from both editions is that other guy.

In the time between the two versions of Cavs, the team has made a lot of moves to find the missing pieces of the Championship puzzle to compliment that other guy – LeBron, and to keep him from testing the free agency waters.

After failing to San Antonio in the finals that year, the Cavs were eliminated by the Celtics in the next post season, and last year they couldn’t get past the Magic. Orlando has always been a tough team for the Cavs, matchup-wise, and so this recent edition of Cavs was built specifically to overcome that obstacle.

New Orleans will miss the playoffs ?

The plan called for first-round draft pick Darren Collison to spend his rookie season learning the NBA in a backup role behind Chris Paul.
The harsh reality is New Orleans will miss the playoffs if Collison is unable to produce in Paul-like fashion while the Hornets' three-time All-Star remains sidelined with a left knee injury.

Judging by the rookie's recent starts, the postseason may still be within New Orleans' reach in a couple of weeks, when Paul is expected to return from arthroscopic surgery he had on Feb. 4 for a meniscus tear.

Collison has averaged 23.6 points and 8.7 assists in his last six games, during which the Hornets have gone 4-2 and moved one game behind Portland for the eighth and final playoff berth in the Western Conference -- and two games behind San Antonio for seventh.

"Whether they make the playoffs or don't make the playoffs, I think they had a heck of a draft," said Pacers coach Jim O'Brien, whose team lost to the Hornets last week when Collison recorded his first career triple-double. "Any time you have somebody out at the level of a Chris Paul and you're able to still maintain a certain level, I think it's a credit to their coaches and certainly a credit to the guy that's filling in."

Paul, who has played in 38 of the Hornets' 56 games this season, has averaged 20.4 points and 11.2 assists.

During New Orleans' last 10 games, Paul has been on the sideline in a suit, acting like Collison's personal coach. Paul is constantly in Collison's ear when the rookie comes to the bench.

"Sometimes I actually expect him to tell me to shut up or leave him alone, but he never does that," Paul said Monday before the Hornets left for a Tuesday night game at Cleveland. "He knows how badly I want to play and right now I'm sort of playing through him. So when I see him getting and-ones and make nice moves, that's why I'm off the bench and going nuts."

Collison, an agile ball-handler with exceptional quickness, has strung together a slew of highlight-worthy plays lately -- everything from blow-by lay-ups to tough running floaters off the glass, breakaway dunks, clutch 3s and pinpoint alley-oop lobs.

"What I like about DC is, when he makes a mistake, he makes it at full speed. But that's exactly how he does damage, at full speed, shooting and getting the ball to the open man," Paul said. "I love it."

Collison was drafted 21st overall last summer after spending four years at UCLA and helping the Bruins reach three NCAA Final Fours. Hornets coach and general manager Jeff Bower said he was counting on Collison's maturity to help him be a quick study and reliable fill-in in his rookie season.
