2 Star Selection
> 11:00 AM Pacific Time
> **Oregon (+12 points or more) 71 Kansas 76
> Kansas may be a bit overrated, given their 1-3 spread mark so far
> this year, and Oregon may not drop off as far as some people think
> with former star pointguard Luke Ridnour now in the NBA. Returning
> star Luke Jackson is the Pac-10?s best player and one of the best in
> the nation (he?s averaging 21 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists this
> season). Ian Crosswhite, a 6-11 sophomore center, is a star in the
> making, averaging 14 points per game this year, shooting 53% in his
> career and he?s dangerous from the perimeter (24 for 59 (41%) on 3-
> pointers in his short career). Ridnour?s absence also opens up
> scoring opportunities for sharp-shooting senior guard James Davis,
> who made 43% of his 209 3-pointers last season and has hit 7 of 13
> long range shots in his 2 games this year. The Ducks have made 47% of
> their 3-pointers this season and they?ll bomb away with success
> against a Kansas team that historically hasn?t defended the 3-point
> shot very well and has allowed opponents to knock down 35% of their 3-
> pointers this year under new coach Bill Self. Kansas like to take 3-
> pointers also (21 attempts per game), but the Jayhawks have only
> coverted on 27.6% of their shots beyond the arc. This game is being
> played in Kansas City, which is not the Jayhawks? home court, so they
> won?t have their usual home court edge. I think Oregon will be about
> as good this season as they were a year ago and my current ratings
> favor Kansas by only 7 points in this game (giving them 2 ? points
> for their home/neutral court). Oregon would qualify in a strong 30-9
> ATS early season situation if they are getting 12 points or more and
> I?ll take the Ducks at +12 points or more in a 2-Star Best Bet.
>
>
> 2 Star Selection
> 12:00 PM Pacific Time
> **Tennessee (+3 points or more) 70 NEBRASKA 66
> Tennessee has been a scrappy team under coach Buzz Peterson, and they
> are an incredible 23-4 ATS as an underdog or pick in his first two
> seasons as head coach of the Vols. Peterson should improve his team
> again this season and winning against a mediocre Nebraska team on the
> road wouldn?t be much of an upset. Nebraska is a solid squad, but
> Tennessee qualifies in a 65-21-1 ATS road underdog momentum situation
> to go along with their strong team history as a dog. My ratings favor
> Nebraska by 3 points and that situation only applies the Volunteers
> are a dog of 3 points or more, so I?ll take 3 points or more with
> Tennessee in a 2-Star Best Bet.
>
> Upgrade Tennessee to a 3-Star Best Bet if they are an underdog of
> 4 points or more.

> 4 Star Selection
> 01:00 PM Pacific Time
> ****ARIZONA 84 Marquette 62
> Marquette appears to be adjusting pretty well to the loss of Dwayne
> Wade, who is not starting for the Miami Heat in the NBA. Marquette?s
> 6-0 record disguises the fact that they are just a mediocre team that
> will probably be headed for the NIT at the end of the regular season.
> The Warriors have played their first 6 games at a level 5 ? points
> worse than last year?s NCAA Final Four team and 6 points better than
> the average rating of the 326 Division 1 teams. Arizona, meanwhile,
> has played their 4 games at an average of 17 points better than an
> average team and I rank them among the top 10 teams in the nation.
> Those ratings would favor Arizona by 15 ? points here at home, but
> there is more than line value favoring the Wildcats in this game.
> Marquette applies to a very negative 46-144-9 ATS road letdown
> situation that plays against teams on a long win streak, and that
> angle is just 6-33-2 ATS early in the season (game 11 or less). Also,
> teams that have played 3 or more consecutive home games are bad bets
> when visiting a good team and Marquette qualifies in a negative 82-
> 143-9 ATS situation that is based on that premise. Those two angle
> combine to go 4-17 ATS when both apply to the same team and
> Marquette?s trip the Final Four last season and their 6-0 record will
> make it easy for Arizona coach Lute Olsen to get the attention of his
> team in preparing for this game. Arizona has also been tough on non-
> conference teams at home, as they are 21-10 ATS here against non-Pac
> 10 teams when not favored by more than 16 points, including 13-3 ATS
> if facing at team with a win percentage of greater than .850.
> Marquette has had a good overall spread record under coach Tom Crean,
> but they are only 6-10 ATS as a road underdog off a win, so they are
> likely to succumb to the very negative general situation that they
> are in.
>
> Downgrade Arizona to a 3-Star Best Bet if they are favored by more
> than 10 points.
