The Wildcats are also 8-2 as a conference dog so they haven't been expected to do much this year. DANNY Hurley has himself a killer at Rhode Island.

Backing Duke here as the Blue Devils are the better shooting team which will negate the Tar Heels rebounding edge if their shots are going down. Fast pace, veteran leadership from Grayson Allen and holding their own on the boards against the Heels wins it for the Dukies.

DMack's Big 12/SEC Conference Challenge Super Lock is the Florida Gators You won't find a stranger team than the Florida Gators who are talented enough to go on a two-week run and win it but are as dependable as rain. The Gators lost their ACC challenge game with Clemson and then ran off six wins before splitting last four winning the tough games over Arkansas and Kentucky and losing to Ole Miss and South Carolina in their last game. Focused Florida is more talented and more athletic than Baylor team that is 1-4 L5 in the loaded Big 12. Big effort form Florida here.

DMacks A-10 Lock of the Month is on the Rhode Island Rams We came away very impressed with Rhode Island in watching them vs. Nevada during the first week of college basketball and that was when the Rams had just half their team due to injuries. Rhode Island is completely healthy now, has won 10 straight games and is just one-point away from being perfect against the spread as well. This is a big number to lay on the road but Fordham is the A-10 doormat with five straight losses of 22-8-30-16-23. The Rams have not been shy about putting the hammer down late.
