COLLEGE HOOPS 75 DIME GAME OHIO ST -3 The Ohio State Buckeyes improved their conference record to 6-0 after drubbing the Rutgers Scarlet Knights 68-46 for their 15th win of the season. It has been a thoroughly dominant stretch from Ohio State, who have also topped No. 1 Michigan State in this run. “I keep coming back to the fact that we’ve only played one-third of the Big Ten right now, so there’s a lot left to be played,” coach Chris Holtmann said. “But we will talk about the fact that hey, we’re going to have some people, we’re going to have to play with a different edge. Home, road, doesn’t matter. We’ll see if we’re good enough to manage that.” Keita Bates-Diop scored 20 points and added nine rebounds. Kam Williams put up 11 points and Kaleb Wesson pitched in with 10 points. Ohio St by 12 points or more

Sexton’s ability to impact the game’s evident, especially with his 1.3 steals per game. The Crimson Tide are very inconsistent from three as the team’s connected on slightly less than 33 percent of their attempts on the season.

The Jayhawks have a strong offense and teams do not shoot well against them, which is bad news for a West Virginia team that does not shoot the ball all that well. The Mountaineers have been good on defense, but I still see the Jayhawks putting up enough points to keep this one within the number or even win the game outright. Take the Jayhawks here.

However, the opposition scored 89 points and handed them the one and only true road loss of the season. The Hilltoppers had 12 more shot attempts and made six more field goals, but the free throws were the difference. They went just 15-for-24 while the Bobcats nailed 31-of-35. Senior forward Justin Johnson (11.7 ppg, 9.6 rpg) had a second straight double-double featuring 16 points and 13 boards. He knocked down 8-of-14 from the field in one of his most efficient performances of the season. Freshman guard Taveion Hollingsworth (12.6 ppg) led the team with 19 points. He made 50 percent of his shots (6-of-12), both 3-point attempts, and went 5-for-6 from the charity stripe. They needed more help from there in this contest. I like Western Kentucky to pulls the upset by 3 points.

Texas is coming off a nice win over VCU and beat them on the road, while Michigan beat the Rams but on a neutral floor. The Wolverines don’t have a ton of depth and they are weak on the glass. Michigan has continued the trend of being overly reliant on the three: if it’s not falling, they aren’t built to generate offense other ways. Texas should utilize their big men and take advantage of their size to get the win here at home.

The Ragin’ Cajuns are also a strong rebounding team and they defend the three well, holding opponents to a 30% clip from three-point territory, so they should contain a high-scoring Bulldogs’ team.

Loyola Marymount, meanwhile, held Oregon State to an offensive rebounding percentage of 25.9 (below their season average of 33.8). Mattias Markusson had a solid performance for Loyola Marymount, recording 12 points and 10 rebounds. Meanwhile, Portland State was led by Deontae North, who had 22 points and seven rebounds. This has potential to be a mistake-prone game for the offense of Loyola Marymount. Since last season, Loyola Marymount ranks 216th in the NCAA in ball protection (turnover percentage of 19.4 percent), while the gambling defense of Portland State has forced the 20th-most turnovers in the nation (22.7 percent).

The Seminoles squeaked out a win at home last season 83-78, beat the Gators 73-71 in 2016, and won 65-63 in 2015 on the now infamous Jacob Kurtz “own goal” at the buzzer (I wish I didn’t have to bring that up, Gators fans). Considering Florida had a great opportunity to win all those games but came up short, they are hungry for a win. Florida State, on the other hand, would love to get a signature win against a top 10 ranked Florida team in the non-conference as they might struggle to win conference games in the ACC. There are plenty of reasons for both teams to be fired up for this one, so it should be a great game no matter what each player’s motivations are.

Senior guard Marcus Foster leads the way with 18.0 points per game, while junior winger Khyri Thomas comes it with a 16.8 ppg clip. Freshman guard Mitchell Ballock is perhaps the most dangerous threat from three-point range on a Creighton squad that is shooting an awesome 59.1 percent from the floor. The Bluejays are also forking up a lot of attempts because they are turning the ball over on just 14.5 percent of their possessions–the 12th lowest number in the nation.

COLLEGE HOOPS 75 DIME GAME ILLINOIS +5.5 The Illinois Fighting Illini did not defend well in their 80-73 road loss to Wake Forest in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge on Tuesday night in their first loss of the season. The Fighting Illini shot a weak 38% on the night while Wake Forest was able to post a 51% efficiency. Aaron Jordan led the way offensively with a season-high 20 points on 60% shooting. The junior guard is having a strong season, scoring at least 12 points in three straight games, and is currently averaging 13 points on a terrific 63% clip from the field. Illinois’ leading scorer Leron Black had a tough night in the loss to Wake Forest, recording a 3 for 12 mark from the field for a total of ten points along with seven rebounds. The 6-foot-7 junior forward has collected at least seven rebounds in three out of his last four games, and is now posting 14.1 points and 5.7 rebounds per game on the year. The Fighting Illini faced their first real test of the season in the loss to Wake Forest after enjoying the benefits of an easy schedule in their first six games. They are placed 109th overall in Ken Pomeroy’s College Basketball Rankings. Illinois is currently scoring an average of 86.7 points per game, ranking them 31st overall. They are allowing an average of 70.1 points, placing them 143rd overall. Northwestern is overrated, and I like the upset here by 4 points.

COLLEGE HOOPS 75 DIME GAME TEMPLE +2 Temple had won three straight over ODU, Auburn and Clemson, so they had to feel good about themselves heading into a game against La Salle on the road in Philadelphia. The Owls shot the ball extremely well but they couldn’t hold onto an 11-point lead in the second half and fell by four from Tom Gola Arena. Pookie Powell’s three-pointer gave La Salle an 83-81 lead they wouldn’t relinquish and the Owls fell, despite shooting 55.7 percent from the field. Quinton Rose led Temple with 21 points and seven boards on 10-of-17 shooting. Shizz Alston Jr. added 18 points, while Obi Enechinyia chipped in with 16 points on 4-5 from 3-point range. This game was about turnovers and missed opportunities. Temple turned it over 13 times, while the Explorers committed just three. South Carolina is coming in this game with a 5-1 record. But I don't like them on the road in Temple. I have Temple winning 75-72.

COLLEGE HOOPS 75 DIME GAME BAYLOR +4.5 On a neutral court or in a seven game series, I’d take Baylor to beat Xavier. Xavier is not well prepared to exploit many of Baylor’s weaknesses, and the Bears are more reliable than the Musketeers. I don’t put a lot in Xavier’s loss to Arizona State. The Sun Devils hit 13-of-27 3-point shots and made 92% of their 25 free throw attempts. Some days your opponent doesn’t miss and you can’t win. I said before the season that Baylor would lose this game, and I’ll stick with that call. I love Baylor basketball. I’m a Chiefs fan, and if you told me Alex Smith would remain the Chiefs starting quarterback in 2018, and the team would not make the playoffs for the next two seasons in exchange for Baylor basketball winning this game, I’d tell you Alex Smith is my quarterback. Winning on the road against top 25 teams is ridiculously tough. I fear one of Baylor’s big men will get in early foul trouble, and Xavier will get hot from 3-point range. I expect the Bears to keep it close but fall a little short. I’ll take Baylor to cover, but I’ve got Xavier winning 74-72.

Furthermore, West Virginia is an experienced squad that have rolled through their weak competition, scoring over 90 points in three straight games, and their patented full-court press should be effective in this one. I have West Virginia by 38 points.

COLLEGE HOOPS 75 DIME GAME DUKE -24.5 When senior star guard Grayson Allen can go 2-of-9 from the floor and score just five points, Duke should struggle in most games. Right? Not against Furman or with so much talent on their roster. Freshman forward Marvin Bagley III picked up the slack with 24 points and eight rebounds to lead the Blue Devils to the 29-point home win. Freshman point guard Trevon Duval added 18 points, four rebounds and four assists on 9-of-12 shooting. Duke beat up the Paladins on the boards by 13 and shot 60.9 percent from the floor. About the only things they didn’t do well was shoot the 3 (5-17) and they still managed to score 92 points. They also went to the foul line just 13 times, making nine. Bagley (6-11, 234)looks like the nation’s top freshman with Michael Porter (back) out for the season. he’s averaging 19.2 points and 9.0 rebounds. Freshman Gary Trent Jr. (6-6, 209) adds 11.6 points and 5.4 rebounds, while Duval produces 13.6 points and 7.6 assists per game.

The Cardinals finished the game shooting 46 percent from the field and had seven players shoot 50 percent or better from the field.

The Broncos hit 62.3 percent of their shots and took advantage of 23 turnovers from La Verne. If there was any issue, it was the home team committing 24 fouls and allowing La Verne to hit 9-of-22 from downtown. As expected, both teams cleared out the benches. Santa Clara put in 13 total players and freshman guard Shaquille Walters saw the most action off the bench (23 minutes). He capitalized by hitting 8-of-9 field goals and finishing with 20 points.

The Sun Devils, expected to make a run for an NCAA Tournament berth this year after back-to-back losing seasons to start an era under head coach Bobby Hurley, will get a much better gauge of where they stand when on Tuesday. De’Quon Lake, a 6-foot-10 transfer with a 36-inch vertical leap from Iowa Western Community College, stole the show in the opener for the Sun Devils. He scored 24 points, including four dunks, while grabbing eight rebounds and blocking three shots. Lake should have more help on the frontline with 6’8” redshirt freshman Romello White (team rules violation) and 6’7” freshman Kimani Lawrence (sprained ankle) back in business after they missed the opener. Ohio State transfer Mickey Mitchell, a 6’7” forward, is not eligible until Dec. 10. The Sun Devils have one of the top returning backcourts in the Pac-12 thanks to Tra Holder (16.2 points, 3.2 assists per game in 2016-17), Shannon Evans II (15 ppg, 4.4 apg), and three-point sharpshooter Kodi Justice (9.2 ppg, 41.7 three-point percentage).

Defensively, guarding the perimeter is important. Duke can shoot the lights out from long range and proved that through the first two games, making 46 percent of its 3-pointers as a team. Michigan State can’t get lazy on defense and must account for everyone who is on the floor as they can all shoot from range. I have Duke by 4 points or more

NBA 100 DIME GAME Both teams come into this series in good health, although the Cavaliers are clearly the more rested squad. Cleveland ranks 1st in offensive efficiency and 5th in rebound rate during the postseason. That spells plenty of trouble for Boston, who ranks last in rebound rate. Take Cleveland to pull away in the second half and steal Game One on the road. Final Score Prediction, Cleveland Cavaliers win and cover ATS 115-107.

NBA 75 DIME MEGA MOVE I am taking the points with the Wizards in this one. The Wizards came through with arguably their best defensive performance in game five which gives me confidence in them in this one. The Wizards definitely have the stronger offense of the two teams and when they are playing strong defense I don’t believe this Hawks team can beat them, plus the Hawks are only shooting 43% in this series.The combination of Bradley Beal and John Wall have been a force in this series and I think they will come through again in game six.

NBA 60 DIME GAME Through nine regular season games, neither team has beaten the other on their home floor. The Spurs own a plus 13.8 point differential in their five wins at home, while the Grizzlies own a 9.0 point differential in their four wins at home. Take Memphis to even the series to the next level. I have Memphis winning 99-96

NBA 100 DIME INSIDE MOVE the Jazz are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings in Los Angeles and the under is 5-1 in the last six meetings in Los Angeles. Gordon Hayward couldn't even finish the first half in Game 4 as he was dealing with food poisoning but he has made the trip with the team to LA so he'll likely suit up. With that being said, I think the Jazz have all the momentum in this series and with Gobert back in the lineup, I like their chances of coming away with the minor upset against this shorthanded Clippers team. According to my analysis I have the Jazz winning 103-100.

NBA 100 DIME HIGH ROLLER GAME The Memphis Grizzlies struggled in the first 2 games. This game will be close since the Spurs have struggled on the second half. The Spurs offense has lagged, and the only thing they have is good defense. The Grizzlies are hungry, and i expect this game to come down to the wire.
According to my analysis, I have the Spurs winning 108-104.
