IF the Jayhawks go up early, don’t be afraid to get involved on TTU live

Peterson is by no means a guarantee to see the floor in the second half or even in crunch time late in the game

[BlueBloodBets @BlueBloodBets]

I wouldn’t be surprised AT ALL if #Kansas wins this game outright, as they have been playing some of their best ball

HOWEVER…Lubbock is one of the hardest places to play, and I just can’t trust Darryn Peterson’s ability to play a full game, especially on only one day of rest

[BlueBloodBets @BlueBloodBets]

#Kentucky came back down to earth on Tuesday, and they’re in for another challenge tonight vs #Arkansas

The key to this game? UK wants to get to the foul line, and Arkansas excels at avoiding foul trouble

Plus, there is no doubt Coach Cal wants this win against the old team

[BlueBloodBets @BlueBloodBets]

#TexasTech is the 2nd best offense in the Big 12, led by JT Toppin’s 24 PPG in conference and Christian Anderson’s 41% from 3

#UCF has been pesky this year, and I won’t be surprised if they hang with the Red Raiders, but TTU will not lack points in this one, even on the road

[BlueBloodBets @BlueBloodBets]

#Michigan has been good, not great recently and have let some bad teams hang around

Nebraska was in control for 37 minutes on Tuesday before failing to close out the win

Now UM hits the road, against a well coached Tom Izzo #MichiganSt squad

I like Sparty to win outright

[BlueBloodBets @BlueBloodBets]

Who would have thought #Nebraska hoops would be on the betting card, but here we are

The ‘Huskers match up well with #Michigan in the all of the intangibles

The Wolverines have come back down to earth ATS, and this Nebraska team continues to rise to the occasion

[BlueBloodBets @BlueBloodBets]

#Duke appears to be rounding into form during a recent stretch that includes a dominant 2nd half over #Louisville

The difference tonight? Star freshman Mikel Brown, who adds an elite scoring option to the Cardinal back court

Don’t expect another 2nd half collapse from UofL

[BlueBloodBets @BlueBloodBets]

#TTU gets #Houston at home this afternoon a few weeks after playing them close in Houston

JT Toppin is a matchup nightmare, and Christian Anderson is capable of handling the Cougar defense

In what should be a rock fight, I’ll take the home team playing some of their best ball

[BlueBloodBets @BlueBloodBets]

The Red Raiders put together an incredible second half effort against BYU on Saturday night, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see the defense regress a little bit tonight, ESPECIALLY with Houston looming on deck this Saturday

*the total has since dropped to 154.5 on some books

[BlueBloodBets @BlueBloodBets]

This line opened closer to 158, so I jumped on it at 155.5

The #Baylor offensive metrics have been stifled a bit due to their gauntlet of a schedule recently

Meanwhile #TTU features a top 20 offense in the country, running through J.T Toppin and sharpshooter Christian Anderson

[BlueBloodBets @BlueBloodBets]

Points galore, as #Vanderbilt and #Arkansas feature elite offenses (particularly with the Hogs on their home floor), and two defenses that have struggled to open up SEC play, ranking bottom of the SEC in 2pt% against

Expect guards on both teams to light up the scoring column

[BlueBloodBets @BlueBloodBets]

I’ll take Clemson on their home floor tonight, but don’t be shocked if the Wolfpack offense shows up and make this a tight game

*this line has since dropped to Clemson -2.5

[BlueBloodBets @BlueBloodBets]

Inconsistency vs consistency tonight between NC State and #Clemson

The Tigers are 25-3 over the last 2 years in ACC play, even with significant roster turnover

The #Wolfpack, however, are as erratic as it gets, coming off a home loss to GT, and struggling against Quad 1 teams

[BlueBloodBets @BlueBloodBets]

I don’t trust this #Tennessee offense, but I trust #Kentucky less. They have shown a tendency to disappear for long stretches, particularly without Jaland Lowe

On the road, without Lowe or Quaintance, I struggle to find a way that the ‘Cats score enough to keep this game close

[BlueBloodBets @BlueBloodBets]

Have to get back on track, so I’m going to bet against a team to do the same thing

#Baylor has had a tough start to Big 12 play, while #Kansas is coming off their biggest win of the year

The Jayhawks, at home, should have a great opportunity tonight to keep the momentum going

[BlueBloodBets @BlueBloodBets]

And….Stanford shoots 56% from 3, with three Cardinal players scoring 20+

Despite 26 from both Wilson and Veesaar, North Carolina drops to 2-2 in the ACC, and have given up career games to 3 straight opposing guards

Something needs to change, and fast, in Chapel Hill

[BlueBloodBets @BlueBloodBets]

#UNC draws a welcome matchup against a poor 3pt shooting team in #Stanford

With Seth Trimble on Stanford G Ebuka Okorie, points could be hard to come by for the Cardinal

Carolina needs to clean up their second half struggles, but on paper, they outclass this Stanford squad

Back and forth on the Kansas/ISU game tonight

Biggest stat to look at? How about Iowa State’s 2nd best 3pt% vs Kansas’s 6th best 3pt% against

If #Kansas can run the #Cyclones off the 3-pt line, they’ve got a great chance at the resume boosting win they desperately need

[BlueBloodBets @BlueBloodBets]

No Mikel Brown again for #Louisville as they take on #Virginia, but I think Ryan Conwell and Isaac McKneely will provide some offensive firepower tonight at the KFC Yum Center

These teams both average well over 80 points, and if 3’s fall, this should cover with relative ease

[BlueBloodBets @BlueBloodBets]

I think the wrong team is favored here, even with the home game for #Auburn

The Tigers have struggled against quality opponents and this #Arkansas offense should have no trouble racking up points

Arkansas +2.5 is a bit safer, and I don’t hate the over, but I love the ML value
