DRAGON SPORTS PICKS PREMIUM PLAYS WEDNESDAY MARCH 3, 2004
3 Units on Boston College -20 -110
STEAM PLAY
St. John's is simply terrible this year. They are a meger 1-13 (5-9 ATS) in the conference and only 2-9 on the road this season. Boston College, on the other hand, is looking great at 12-3 at home this year and 8-6 (9-5 ATS) in one of the toughest conferences in the country. The Eagles simply dominated the Storm the last time out, winning by 28 at St. John's house, holding them to under 30% shooting from the floor, and shooting an impressive 54% on the field themselves. *A special update to this game is that St. John's Senior Captain, Forward Andre Stanely is out for tonight's game due his unsuccessful attempt at maintaining his eligability.
3 Units on Northwestern -1 -110
STEAM PLAY
Northwestern has been a big surprise in the Big 10 this year, winning around 5 more conference games than was predicted by most experts. Part of their success relies on the strength of their play at home where the Wildcats are 8-3 (6-2 ATS). The Northwesten D holds opponents to under 60 ppg at home, while the Iowa Hawkeyes give up around 78 ppg on defense in road games. The Hawks are only 4-7 (5-5 ATS) playing on the road, and already lost to the Wildcats by 9 in Iowa City.
4 Units on NC State -6.5 -110
STEAM PLAY
The Wolfpack are stellar at home this year, their lone loss coming just a few nights ago versus N. Carolina. So far NC State is 14-1 at home overall (8-3 ATS). The Pack have looked great in conference play, currently sitting at 2nd in the ACC (10-4). NC State scores around 77ppg game at home, allowing just 63 on defense. Maryland has been pretty awful on the road this season, traditionally a team that thrives on big upsets, the Terps just haven't got it done this year. Maryland is a woeful 3-7 (SU and ATS) on the road. This has also been a disappointing conference year for the Terps who are only 5-9 (SU and ATS) in the ACC. The discrepency in free throw shooting could have a huge impact on this game as well as the Pack shoot 79% from the stripe at home and the Terps shoot a mere 60% foul shots on the road. NC State rolled Maryland AT Maryland by 12 back on February 1st. A HUGE win for NC State tonight in their final home game of the regular season.
2 Units on Vanderbilt -11.5 -110
Tennessee struggles on the road, earning a 1-8 (SU and ATS) record this season. Tenn. scores only 63ppg on 38% FGs, while giving up a ridiculous 82 ppg on defense in road games. Vanderbilt is a strong 14-2 (9-5) at home and score an impressive 77 points per game on 47% FGs and 38% 3 pointers, while their D holds opponents to just 64 ppg. This is a big revenge game for Vandy, who lost to the Vols by 10 earlier in this season (Jan. 14) . This is a different Vandy team at home, and a much different Vols team when they hit the road.
2 Units on Iowa State -3 -110
Iowa State would be a great contender if they could play every game at home. The Cyclones are an amazing 14-1 (9-3 ATS) at home this year, with big wins over Kansas and Texas. It's pretty amazing how much better this team is at home, especially how good they shoot. Iowa State shoots 48% from the field and an incredible 42% 3-point shots, leading to 78 ppg at Hilton Coleseum. Colorado is just 6-5 on the road and have been smoked by ISU consistently when they play them in Ames including a 0-6 SU and ATS record at ISU since '97. A great situational stat I like on this game is that the Cyclones are 10-0 against the spread at home as a favorite of 3 points or less since 1997 (still like it at -3.5 or -4 though if the line jumps).
