West Virginia Mountaineers at Rutgers Scarlet Knights 6:30 pm EST
Big East Game of the Week
Rutgers ?6 (3 Units)
Rutgers continues to be one of the most undervalued teams in the country on their home floor. They are 12-1 SU and 7-2 ATS. They are also 5-1 SU and ATS in Big East home games, winning their 5 games by an average of 11 ppg. West Virginia comes in just 3-6 on the road including a 1-4 SU and ATS record in Big East games. Their only win came against St. John?s, the worst team in the conference. Their 4 losses have all been in double digits, averaging 19.3 ppg. The Scarlet Knights are a very solid 40th in the RPI and they are 15-9 on the season despite playing the 15th toughest schedule in the country. They have a +10.5 scoring margin at home while the Mountaineers are ?7.7 on the road. Offensively, Rutgers is third in the Big East in threepoint field goal percentage (.372) and third in the Big East in rebounding (37.9). The Scarlet Knights are No. 2 in three-point field goal pct. defense (.300), and third in blocked shots (6.08) in the conference. Rutgers is also 8th in the nation in blocked shots. Rutgers will be looking for some payback as well as their loss to the Mountaineers at home last season helped keep them out of the Big East Tournament. ?It?s going to be a tough game for us,? West Virginia coach John Beilein said. ?They?re all back except one or two, and they?re going to remember (last year?s loss) very much.? West Virginia is 1-5 ATS on the road against teams with a winning record while Rutgers is 4-2 ATS home in the same scenario. Rutgers bounces back well following a loss as they are 7-1 ATS.
Kent St. Golden Flashes at Buffalo Bulls 7:00 pm EST
Kent ?4 (2 Units)
Buffalo has been the big surprise of the MAC this season, posting a 7-7 conference record. They have won 3 straight but those wins came against much more inferior competition that what they will see tonight. Kent has won 10 straight and 15 of their last 16 games while going 5-1 in MAC road games. Kent is 13-1 in the MAC East, three games ahead of Miami Ohio with three to play. A win over Buffalo clinches the division while a loss keeps Miami Ohio alive as the Redhawks still play the Flashes one more time after giving them their only conference loss back in January. During their 10-game winning streak, Kent is averaging 78.4 points per game and has posted a +13.2 scoring margin. They are shooting 274-of-580 (47.2%) from the field and 85-of-210 (40.5%) from three-point range. Also impressive is a 75.9% clip from the free throw line. While the offense has been playing great recently, it has been the defense that has been solid all season long. In each of the last three seasons, Kent State had allowed at least three opponents to score 75 points or more in the first 23 games, including eight that did so last season. It has happened just once this season and Kent State has held two opponents under 50 points, six under 60 points and 15 under 70 points. Through 23 games this season, the magic number for Kent State has been 70. The Golden Flashes are 15-0 when scoring 70 points or more. Buffalo has allowed 70 or more points in 11 of their last 15 games. Kent is 7-3 ATS away from home while the Bulls are 4-6 ATS at home.
NC-Wilmington Seahawks at George Mason Patriots 7:00 pm EST
George Mason ?5.5 (2 Units)
The Patriots is still mathematically alive for the CAA regular season championship but they do need help. First off, they need to win their remaining two games starting with their final home game of the season against the Seahawks. George Mason is 11-1 at home this season outscoring their opponents by over 11 ppg. Their only loss is a 3-point setback to Old Dominion. NC-Wilmington is 4-10 on the road this season including a 2-5 CAA road record. They are coming off a 25-point loss at Illinois-Chicago on Saturday dropping them to 1-6 in their last 7 road games. George Mason?s depth has been a problem for several teams this season, as the Patriot bench has out scored opponents, 551-443, in 25 contests overall. Per game, the Mason bench has outperformed the opponents? bench 13 times overall, including 12 of the last 17 contests. Since the 1998-99 season, the Patriots have gone 45-5 at Patriot Center versus CAA foes. They are 8-2 this season against teams with losing records and they are 7-2 ATS as a favorite between 5 and 12 points. NC-Wilmington is 0-3 ATS as a dog of the same numbers. George Mason is on pace to tie its best regular-season home record of 12-1 and a victory over the Seahawks will give George Mason its first season sweep of their hated rival since 1989-90. No better time to do it than on Senior Night.
Miami-Ohio RedHawks at Northern Illinois Huskies 8:05 pm EST
Miami Ohio ?3 (2 Units)
The Redhawks are another team that is still mathematically alive for their regular season division title but like George Mason, they need help as well but need to get the job done themselves. After a very slow start, Miami has won 11 of their last 14 games including 4 of their last 6 on the road. Over their last eight MAC games, Miami is 6-2, dropping its Feb. 2 Ohio and Feb. 11 Akron games on the road by a combined seven points. Northern Illinois has had a simply awful season after such high expectations heading into this season. They have lost 10 straight and 17 of their last 21 after starting the season 3-1. Their last 5 home losses have been by an average of 9.8 ppg. This season, Miami is 7-0 when scoring at least 70 points and has lost just twice over the past three years when reaching that plateau. Northern Illinois is allowing 72.8 ppg over their last 5 games and they have given up at least 70 points in 9 of their last 13 games. In 10 of the RedHawks' last 15 games, Miami has outscored its opponents in the paint, which will be key in this game as the Huskies have one of the better frontcourts in the MAC. The defense is solid as always, holding seven opponents to just 55 points or less and allowing 60.1 ppg through 23 games, which ranks 17th nationally. Northern Illinois has topped 70 points only 2 times during their current 10 game losing streak.
