St Bonaventure is 1-3 vs top 100 teams, losing by 3-9-5 points, one of which was 73-64 loss to ACC's Virginia Tech; their best win is over #82 Buffalo. Five of NC State's six wins are vs teams ranked #131 or lower; their only top 100 win was over Texas, game they trailed by 18. Atlantic 14 home teams are 6-3-1 vs spread in games where number is 4 or less points; ACC teams are 11-18 against spread when number is less than 5.

Evansville is 0-2 on road, losing by 4 at Ill-Chicago, 49 at Chapel Hill; Purple Aces are 3-5 vs D-I teams, with only win vs team in top 300 at home in OT vs #120 Butler. Miami O is 2-5 vs D-I teams but both wins are over top 75 teams, Dayton/Belmont- they're 0-3 vs teams ranked lower than #200. Go figure.

CAA home favorites are 7-11 vs spread, 2-3 if spread is double digits; Conference USA double digit road dogs are 7-2.

Ohio U/Northern Iowa are both 9-1, so this is Bracket Buster type tilt with two teams who will make noise in March. Bobcats' only loss was by 5 at Louisville; their other top 100 game was impressive 70-68 win at Matshall. Ohio won its last four road games. UNI's best win was at #79 Iowa State; they also beat #85 Milwaukee. MAC road underdogs of 6 or less points are 2-7 vs spread; MVC home favorites of 7 or less are 4-8.

Northeastern is 3-5, scoring 60 ppg in losing last four games, but #263 Louisiana Tech will be worst team they've played; Huskies are turning ball over 27.3% of time (#340), its hard to win when you don't get shots at basket. Tech won four of last five games; five of their last six games were won by 3 or less points. CAA road teams are 6-11 vs spread if number is 4 or less; WAC home teams are 3-7 if spread is 5 or less.

BYU is 7-3 vs D-I teams, with all seven wins by 14+ points, but they lost to only two top 100 teams they've played (Wisconsin/Baylor); they got lift in last game from UCLA transfer Carlino, a lefty guard who can shoot it.

#26 St Mary's has games vs Baylor/Missouri State Thursday/Friday, so easy to look past Eastern Washington here; Gaels are 9-1 against #321 schedule, 3-1 vs teams in top 200, with wins by 5-17-16 points.

Big Sky road underdogs of 13+ points are 11-5 vs spread; WCC double digit home favorites are 6-6-1.

Arizona is coming off loss at Gonzaga, when they fell behind 14-0 right off bat; Wildcats are 3-4 in last seven games, even losing a home game to San Diego State. #126 Oakland is 0-4 vs top 100 teams, losing by 17-23-2-10 points; they're more of an offensive team, playing fast, #6 tempo in country.

Tuesday's Best NCAAB Bets
By Covers

Charleston Cougars at Louisville Cardinals (-16, 138.5)

Louisville passed another major test over the weekend when it outlasted Memphis 95-87. The fourth-ranked Cardinals have spread the points around as coach Rick Pitino continues to get pieces back from injury to add to his rotation.

Russ Smith led the way with a career-high 24 points Saturday but it was his seven steals that made more impact in Louisville’s pressure defense and transition offense.

The next school to take a crack at the Cardinals in the Yum! Center will be College of Charleston on Tuesday. A perennial contender for the Southern Conference’s automatic NCAA Tournament bid, the Cougars have won six straight since their lone loss and are averaging nearly 75 points.

They might be a little over their heads here though.

Pick: Cardinals

Eastern Kentucky Colonels at Arkansas Razorbacks (-12.5, 132.5)

Eastern Kentucky has won four consecutive games, including a 59-53 win over Jacksonville State. The Colonels’ top three scorers lived up to that label as Jaron Jones, Eric Stutz and Joshua Jones combined for 48 points and 15-of-26 shooting (58 percent).

Jaron Jones, a senior guard, and Stutz, a freshman forward, haven’t been missing many shots. Jones and Stutz are both hitting 56 percent of their shots, and as a team the Colonels are shooting 44 percent from the field. Junior guard Mike DiNunno is averaging 3.3 assists and chips in with 9.5 points.

That has the Colonels at 4-2 against the spread in the six games that they’ve seen a line.

Razorbacks supporters haven’t been nearly as lucky. Arkansas managed to down Southeast Louisiana 62-55, but the club is 0-3 against the number this season.

Pick: Colonels
