ARKANSAS over *Alabama...Both teams have suffered from plenty of inconsistency TY. But the underachieving Crimson Tide have been
the worse offender of the two, going 3-6 as a home favorite due to a mixture of a key injury (G Steele), questionable shot selection, and
frequent sloppy defense. Arkansas, with a postseason run in mind, is ready to exploit matters. The Hogs have experienced frontliners in
quantity to battle Bama power guy Hendrix inside. And Gs Beverley & Ervin now giving SF Sonny Weems more scoring support. Tide
suffers again. ARKANSAS 76 - *Alabama 69 RATING - 10

2-1 yesterday
8-2 all sports run (this following a 22-11 run)
Documented records since oct 6th
NBA 73-51 (59%)

NCAA EARLY RELEASE
TEXAS A&M-9
2-1 last night on picks and hit 8 out of 10. I have my eye on tex a&m tomorrow. The line is 9 which is really high considering tex tech beat them by 15 at home in Lubbock and the aggies have really struggled lately. They have lost 3 straight. Keep in mind that nebraska shot 60% from the field against them last game. I feel that this might be their breakout game. They got drilled at texas and came home and took nebraska lightly. Now they have that loss to think about as well as huge revenge against texas tech. Tech is great at home but not on the road. I expect a double digit win for tex a&m so i will lay the 9 points. I think vegas made this line high for a reason. I think they have an idea of what will happen. More tomorrow,

Minnesota Timberwolves at Toronto Raptors
Wednesday, February 27th, 7:05 PM ET
Minnesota does not ordinarily force a lot of turnovers but forced 20-plus last night to key its home win over Utah. Doubt it will have such defensive success on the road versus the Raptors. Toronto is 8-3 S/U and ATS at home versus Minnesota, has won and covered four-of-five and three in a row at home. It is also 44-29 ATS as a favorite over the last 2 seasons and 23-8 ATS in February games over the last 3 seasons.

Wednesday's Analysis
20 Dime ?
HOFSTRA
Take the points with Hofstra tonight when they travel to take on Delaware.
Two teams headed in opposite directions here.
Hofstra has won three straight and four of five, while Delaware has gone 3-6 SU over its last nine.
It?s no coincidence the Pride?s recent streak has happened because they?ve found someone to compliment do-everything guard Antonio Agudio in the scoring department.
Freshman Charles Jenkins has stepped it up, scoring 22, 17 and 28 points in his last three games. His presence means teams can no longer key solely on Agudio, and the Pride have averaged 83 ppg over their last three games.
Delaware has been a money burner at home, going 0-6 ATS in its last six and 1-10 ATS in its last 11.
Hofstra is 6-2 ATS in its last eight road games.
Take the points with Hofstra as they stay within the number over Delaware.
10 Dime ?
ARKANSAS
Take Arkansas to get it done on the road tonight over Alabama.
Neither team has been especially consistent this year, but the Crimson Tide have been worse than the Razorbacks.
Alabama is just 3-6 ATS as a home chalk due mainly because of sloppy defense and a tendency to chuck it up instead of working for an open look on the offensive end.
Arkansas has hopes of an NCAA tournament bid, so expect them to come out flying tonight. They have an experienced frontcourt that can battle with Alabama?s Richard Hendrix. The backcourt of Gary Ervin and Patrick Beverley should both rebound from a poor outing in their last game against Kentucky when the Hogs fell, 63-58.
If those two are on tonight it will open up the lanes for Sonny Weems, who averages 15.3 ppg and had 26 points against Kentucky.
Take Arkansas as they get it done on the road over Alabama.
5 Dime ?
UAB
Take Uab as the small road dog tonight over Utep.
The Blazers have stepped it up recently winning four of their last five, with the only setback coming in a controversial 79-78 loss versus top-ranked Memphis.
Uab is a deep, road-tested team that should be able to keep its run going tonight. Forward Lawrence Kinnard and swingman Robert Vaden will be able to take advantage of a Utep defense that allows a league-worst 71 ppg.
The Miners will be in trouble tonight if leading scorer Stefon Jackson continues his struggles from the field. Jackson is hitting only 38 percent of his shots in recent games, which will make it hard for Utep to overcome its defensive shortcomings.
Uab outrebounded Utep by 15 in its eight-point win at UAB Arena on February 9, so I doubt the Miners will get many second-chance opportunities tonight.
Take Uab for the road win over Utep.
HAWKS
Take the Hawks at home tonight minus the points over the Kings.
Former Kings guard Mike Bibby should be acclimated with Joe Johnson by now, giving Atlanta plenty of backcourt punch.
This is Sacramento?s fourth road game in six days, so fatigue could be a factor tonight.
For the Hawks, this is their first home game after a six-game road trip, so they should be eager to put on a show for the partisan crowd.
Atlanta is 10-4-1 ATS in its last 15 home games.
Take the Hawks for the home win and cover.

Game: Minnesota Wild at Tampa Bay Lightning Feb 27 2008 7:35PM
Prediction: Tampa Bay Lightning
Reason: Minnesota played last night and lost their 4th in a row. The Wild are 29-60-10 in their last 99 games played with 0 day rest between games. The Wild are 3-8 in their last 11 games vs. a team with a losing home record. Tampa revamped their team yesterday with a big trade. The Lightning are 4-0 in their last 4 vs. Western Conference team's. The Lightning are 4-1 in their last 5 vs. a team with a winning record. Tampa has taken the last 2 meetings with Minnesota. Play on the Lightning +.

Cleveland at BOSTON (-8)
Let's go against Cleveland tonight and back the Celtics at home minus the points.
This is a big revenge spot for Boston, as they lost at Cleveland earlier this month without Kevin Garnett and with Paul Pierce battling the flu.
This is the Celtics first home game since the All Star break, following a five-game West Coast trip. They will be pumped up to do battle with LeBron and the revamped Cavs, so expect the intesity to be at an all time high tonight.
Forget about Cleveland's acquisition of center Ben Wallace. He can't run the floor with the athletic Garnett and his presence will be a non-factor in this game.
Boston has too many options on the offensive end for Cleveland to keep this close, and I have a feeling the Celtics will roll against a Cavaliers team that had to play at Milwaukee last night.
Take Boston minus the points as they grab the home win and cover.

Baylor (-4) at COLORADO
Don't doubt the Baylor Bears and what they can do on the road. They're laying small chalk in this one and they should come out and just manhandle Colorado in this Big 12 matchup.
The Bears got a huge win Saturday, beating Kansas State 92-86 as a one-point home underdog to snap a four-game losing streak. They opened the season 16-2 and while they've stumbled lately, they are still in position for a spot in the Big Dance.
Baylor is 9-2 ATS in its last 11 on the road and went to Oklahoma back on Feb. 19 and lost 92-91 in OT but got the cash as 5 1/2-point underdogs.
Colorado has lost nine of its last 10 SU and last time the Buffs took the court at home they were drilled by Texas Tech 87-69 as one-point underdogs. And let's remember Texas Tech isn't all that good a team to start with.
The biggest plus for Baylor in this one is its offense. The Bears put up 85.9 points a game on the road while Colorado only musters up 62.7 points a game on the home court. Baylor can run and score with just about anybody in the country. Colorado is just a bad team.
Play the Bears to win this one.

(789) Wm & Mary
(790) George Mason
Take "(790) George Mason"
Last home game for the seniors from the amazing George Mason entry that went to the Final Four two years ago. Emotions figure to be high for these guys, and they also figure to be a little jacked up following Saturday's ugly loss at Ohio in the Bracket Busters. William & Mary was also a Bracket Buster loser, falling at home to Loyola Chicago, and their problems figure to continue here. Sets up as a game with blowout potential, so I'll lay the big number with George Mason.

(717) DEN Nuggets
(718) SEA Sonics
Take "(717) DEN Nuggets"
Seattle has trouble with uptempo teams because their defense is so lousy, allowing 103.6 ppg -- 5th most in the NBA. The last two times they faced an uptempo team, the young Sonics lost by 20 to the Lakers and 19 to Utah. They face an uptempo Denver team in need of a win, after blowing games to Chicago and Detroit. These teams have met once and the Nuggets won by 17. This is the 3rd game in 4 nights for Seattle. A great spot for the visitors. Play the Nuggets!
