2 units.....georgetown (-1) over syracuse
2 units....st.bonaventure (+8.5) over temple
2 units....clemson (+14) over wake forest

will post short writeups/reasoning on these three shortly. tons of appealing games saturday, but these 3 stand out overnight.

georgetown:
system play (unranked favorite), but aside from that, just think theyre the right side anyways. the orangemen simply havent PLAYED many road games this year. boeheim really home-loaded his schedule. syracuse is sitting at 20-4 overall, but theyve only played eight road games this year. syracuse has a big game coming up on monday at notre dame on espn2, and this could very well be a lookahead game for the cuse. call me stubborn, but this georgetown team could be SO much beter than their record, if they would have gotten some better bounces as well as created some breaks of their own

bonaventure:
this series has seen some blowouts lately. sbu laid it on temple last year in a blowout. temple recently returned the favor on national tv IN st.bonaventure by embarrassing the bonnies. i know sbu eschews defense, and anything related to it- but i gotta think that the bonnies will be a little more disciplined this time around. temple has always been a questionable mid-range chalk, as the owls are a better dog than favorite.

clemson:
perfect setup for clemson to catch wake napping and put a scare into em. for starters, wake hasnt played very well lately. the long season could be wearing on the young deacs. wake needed a late rally to overcome virginia last sunday, then followed it up with an equally uninspired effort in florida state the other night. both games were 2 wins, but wake looked disinterested in both games. especially after playing 2 acc also-rans (virginia and fsu) and now having to face a 3rd in clemson, i just dont see the deacs being "up" to play a team that they already drilled in clemson this year by 21. this looks like a game that wake will sleepwalk through, snag a 9 point win, and move on to unc/ncsu to finish the year.

2 units.....butler (-5) over wisconsin-milwaukee

not really thrilled with the scheduling spot- as butler has played 4 games this calendar week. but the reason im willing to throw that aside is because those games this week were against the mutants of the horizon league (youngstown,csu, uwgb) so i think theyll be fine today. just a lot of good angles here. butler is a dominant home team at finkle, playing with revenge (uwm won 69-65 a month ago), and this game is for all the marbles in the horizon league. furthermore- even though theres a conference tourney, butler needs all the quality wins they can get for their resume. the bulldogs were screwed out of the ncaa tourney last year as a result of their late season slip-up vs pathetic uwgb. while this game isnt a tourney game, a dominant performance here in a game of conference leaders would go a long way to solidifying butlers at-large resume for the dance.

2 units.....oregon (-11) over ucla

ucla just has not put quality efforts back to back this year. they dont "build" on wins- they seem to take steps back after they win a game outright. ducks starting to hit their stride late in the season. bruins could get routed here.
