The Cincinnati Bearcats have won the American Athletic Conference Tournament each of the last two seasons, but Kelvin Sampson’s Houston Cougars are the choice of the linemakers to cut the nets down in Dickies Arena this time around. Should that turn out to be the case, it would be the first AAC tourney win for the Cougars in program history. The truth of the matter i... 

The Auburn Tigers snapped the Kentucky Wildcats four-year reign in the SEC Tournament last season. Linemakers expect both squads to have a say in how this year’s edition plays out with the Wildcats currently installed the odds on +175 favorites to win it all with the Tigers right behind them at +275. Each earned the double-bye along with LSU and Mississippi State whi... 

The Pac-12 Tournament has been dominated by the Oregon Ducks and Arizona Wildcats dating back to 2013. The UCLA Bruins are the only other school to win it during that stretch. The Ducks ended the Wildcats 2-year reign last season to win it for the second time in the last four years. Unsurprisingly, Dana Altman’s and Sean Miller’s squads are currently installed the favorites to cut the nets down in Sin City this time around as well. With two of the best point guards in the conference leading each team’s respective attack, that comes as no surprise. What is a surprise however is the value a number of teams that closed the season out hot are getting from linemakers at online sportsbooks. Let’s put the futures odds under the microscope and see if we can’t weed out some big ticket winners in hopes of bolstering the bankroll for next week’s Madness! ... 

It feels as if the entire B1G will be partaking in the NCAA Tournament next week. While that’s a gross overstatement, it still feels that way. As it stands right now, only Northwestern and Nebraska have absolutely no shot to partake in the Big Dance provided they don’t shock the college basketball betting community and win the Big Ten Tournament. Linemakers believe this tournament to be the Michigan State Spartans for the taking. Remember, Sparty opened the regular season as the No. 1 team in the nation only to fall out of that spot immediately. Right in back of them is the other co-winner of the regular season title in the Maryland Terrapins. Surprisingly, Wisconsin slots in back of them along with a Michigan team that online sportsbooks seem to be very high on regardless of its mediocre regular season outputs. As great the talent is up and down the league, the B1G Tournament has the capability to be one of the more wildly entertaining of the conference tourney season. Because of it, you might want to take some chances on the betting lines! ... 

Though there ended up being a three-team tie atop the regular season rankings, the Seton Hall Pirates are currently the choice of linemakers at online sportsbooks to cut the nets down at the conclusion of the Big East Tournament. A very surprising stance considering Kevin Willard’s squad fell to both Creighton and Villanova to close the regular season which ultimately cost them the outright title. Speaking of Jay Wright’s Wildcats, they’re the current 3-time champs and will be gunning for the pr... 

It’s likely fool’s gold thinking any team other than Obi Toppin and the Dayton Flyers cut the nets down in the Barclays Center to take the A10’s auto bid into next week’s NCAA Tournament. Anthony Grant’s squad did nothing but kick ass and take names over the course of the regular season by putting forth a clean sheet in conference play. There were some close calls however; with the A10 tourney taking place on a neutral court, anything can happen. With that, let’s put the futures odds under the microscope and see what online sportsbooks have to offer to see if we can’t fatten up the bankroll for next week’s Big Dance by hooking our wagon to a couple of big dogs if not running with the chalk over the next week! ... 

The Kansas Jayhawks and Baylor Bears were the toast of the Big 12 over the course of the regular season. Had Baylor not gone down in defeat at West Virginia, the teams would’ve shared the regular season title. With that, it comes as no surprise to see Bill Self and Scott Drew overlooking the two favorites to win the Big 12 Tournament at online sportsbooks. Sorry Cyclones fans, Iowa State won’t be in the running this time around. With no other team in the league winning 10+ games in conference play, it’s nearly inconceivable to think both powerhouses aren’t destined to meet up for a third time in the final come the conclusion of this week’s action in KC. Even so, there’s betting lines out there that must be broken down, and that’s exactly what we’ll do in hopes of pegging the team that ultimately goes on to cut the nets down on Saturday night. ... 

The Duke Blue Devils will be gunning for a second straight ACC Tournament title after Zion Williamson and company earned the program their 21st a short season ago. But it’s the Florida State Seminoles who enter the tourney tabbed linemakers odds on favorite to hoist the hardware and cut the nets down when it all comes to an end on Saturday, March 14. The teams just so happened to battle one another in the final last year in a game the Dookies won by 10 points as 7-point neutral court favorites. Does either team have it in them to set up a rematch in the semis, or will another team steal the spotlight? Let’s put the futures odds under the microscope and see what online Bookmaker Sportsbook have to offer and see if we can’t fatten up the bankroll for next week’s Big Dance! ... 

The No. 19 Ohio State Buckeyes entered the 2019-20 college basketball betting season installed the odds on +350 favorites to win the Big Ten regular season title. The No. 16 Michigan State Spartans clocked in right behind them and the Maryland Terrapins at +440 along with the in-state rival Michigan Wolverines. The team linemakers overlooked was the +2500 Wisconsin Badgers, but that’s a story for a much different day. For now, Tom Izzo’s kids will be out to earn him his 10th B1G regular season t... 

What a horrendous close to the regular season it’s been for Mark Turgeon and the Maryland Terrapins. Once a surefire pick to win the B1G title outright, the Terps now need to show up on Sunday at home versus the Michigan Wolverines in order to be in the running for a shared championship; provided both Michigan State and Wisconsin hold up their end of the bargain against Ohio State and Indiana respectively. Regardless, it’s been a terrible close to the regular season for Anthony Cowan Jr. and company who could enter next week’s Big Ten tournament as low as a No. 3 seed dependent upon how the weekend’s action plays out. Making this spot even more anxious for the home team is the fact that it’s failed to topple the maize and blue in four straight and stands 1-3 ATS in those matchups. It hasn’t defeated the Wolverines at home since the 2016 season. ... 

Even after shockingly falling at home to the Tennessee Volunteers as decided favorites at online sportsbooks, the loss didn’t do much in the way of knocking the No. 6 Kentucky Wildcats out of SEC title contention. In fact, the regular season title already belongs to John Calipari’s troops so it remains to be seen just how locked in Immanuel Quickley and his mates will be for this rematch with a Florida Gators squad that’s played its best ball of the season when on the comforts of its Gainesville... 

Fresh off giving the Baylor Bears a major scare in Waco, the Texas Tech Red Raiders return home to Lubbock looking to close the regular season out with a bang by taking down a Kansas Jayhawks squad that’s already at the very least guaranteed itself a share of the Big 12 regular season title. With that, just how determined will Bill Self’s squad be to put forth a max effort and take Chris Beard’s kids down in front of its rabid fan base. My guess is not so much, but the Jayhawks have put forth so... 

With the Seton Hall Pirates failing to lock up the Big East regular season title at home on Wednesday night against Villanova, this Saturday afternoon tilt in Omaha is now enormous! The Creighton Bluejays will have home court advantage in an attempt to tally their first ever Big East regular season title at online sportsbooks. The closest they ever came was runner-up back in 2014. You have to go all the way back to the 1992-93 season to find the last time the Pirates turned the trick. With that, the city of Omaha will be the place to be as Myles Powell leads his team into battle against Ty-Shon Alexander and company with the regular season title on the line. That’s something the Bluejays never could’ve imagined being possible after spitting the bit at St. John’s to open up the new month – you got to love the Madness of March! ... 

Should both Florida State and Louisville lose over the weekend, it would afford the No. 12 Duke Blue Devils the opportunity to score the program 20th regular season ACC title when they host the North Carolina Tar Heels on Saturday night. The rivalry between the Heels and Dookies is already one of the best in all of sports, but the ramifications surrounding this bout certainly ups the intrigue factor quite a few levels! Roy Williams’ kids did everything they possibly could to hand the game over t... 

In getting the best of the No. 15 Auburn Tigers over the weekend, John Calipari’s 8th ranked Kentucky Wildcats clinched the 49th SEC regular season title for the program. With that, it remains to be seen how the Wildcats take to their home hardwood on Senior Night knowing full well they can’t do anything to improve their seeding for the upcoming SEC tournament. On the other hand, Rick Barnes’ unranked Tennessee Volunteers have much to gain from winning a game like this from not only improving their seeding for next week’s tourney, but also solidifying their resume for the dance which they find themselves currently out of in the most recent Bracketology release. After getting embarrassed at online sportsbooks in the first showdown in Knoxville, I’m of firm belief the Vols show up to Rupp with redemption on the mind. ... 

The home team had come out on top six straight times before the No. 2 Baylor Bears went into Lubbock and handed the No. 22 Texas Tech Red Raiders a 57-52 defeat as 3.5-point underdogs in early January. Chris Beard’s troops will attempt to return the favor in the last Big Monday telecast of the college basketball betting season when they invade Waco looking to even the season rivalry. Easier said than done however considering Scott Drew’s kids have only been defeated in front of the hometown faithful once this season, and it just so happened to occur against the No. 1 team in the land – Rock Chalk! Two of the last three skirmishes held in the Ferrell Center between these squads have played to low scorers with just under 127 points scored on average. Tonight’s matchup will be extremely physical as well making points tough to come by once again. ... 

The No. 9 Maryland Terrapins have come up with some awfully impressive second half comebacks to win games this season. Most recently, there was the second half surge in Evanston that allowed them to not only win but also cover the lofty road chalk against Northwestern. Then there was the dominant second half put forth to beat the Illinois Fighting Illini outright. Both of those games paled in comparison to the theft that just occurred in the Twin Cities when Darryl Morsell all but packed the Minnesota Golden Gophers bags for the NIT by burying a 3-ball that allowed the Terps to come back from a 17-point deficit and log the exhilarating 74-73 win and cover/push depending upon where you got into the market at online sportsbooks. No hangover will be allowed this weekend when Cassius Winston and the Michigan State Spartans pay College Park a visit looking to avenge the loss they absorbed on their home hardwood a few weeks back. ... 

Interesting spot here for the Big East leading Seton Hall Pirates having six days to get ready for the Marquette Golden Eagles with a much more important showdown against the Villanova Wildcats on deck. Immediately after that, it’s Creighton also possibly for all the conference marbles! The fact that linemakers will likely have them laying a short number on the road makes it all the more trivial. Especially after Markus Howard and his Eagle teammates just opened a can on the Georgetown Hoyas to move to 13-2 SU and 10-5 ATS as hosts to snap a three game losing streak. Wojo’s troops got taken to task in the second half of the first showdown with The Hall, but something tells me that won’t be the case when these clubs partake in the revenge bout this Saturday in what will no doubt be an amped up Fiserv Forum. ... 

The No. 7 Duke Blue Devils will attempt to build upon their recent ownership of the defending national champion Virginia Cavaliers on Saturday night when the programs collide in their only skirmish of the ACC regular season. Save for bragging rights, this matchup doesn’t offer up much in the way of intrigue with both the Dookies and Wahoos locks to garner a top four seed in the upcoming ACC tournament. Even so, coach K’s troops will be out to get the bitter taste of that disturbing overtime loss to Wake Forest out of their mouths in hopes of winning and covering a third straight at online sportsbooks versus the Cavs. Having already incurred losses to both NC State and Syracuse in ACC play and South Carolina in non-conference action, UVA is no longer the lock at home it once was. ... 

If the No. 15 Auburn Tigers are to have any shot of tracking down the No. 8 Kentucky Wildcats to attain regular season bragging rights in the SEC, it’s going to need to extend both its SU and ATS win streaks to three straight in the recent rivalry. John Calipari’s troops dropped a second straight to the Tigers back on February 1 when it let an early second half lead get away before ultimately going on to fall 75-66 and fail to cover the closing 2.5-point college basketball betting odds. This time around, Immanuel Quickley and his Wildcat teammates will be laying a number of possessions in the rematch. Having dropped four of seven on the true SEC road to date (2-5 ATS), online sportsbooks will no doubt be bracing themselves for the heavy influx of Kentucky money certain to come through the pipeline for this crucial conference rematch. ... 

ESPN’s Big Monday double-dip tips off with a good one in Tallahassee where the No. 8 Florida State Seminoles will attempt to hold serve and bust the brooms out on the No. 11 ranked Louisville Cardinals with ACC regular season bragging rights on the line. The Noles went into the KFC Yum! Center and scored a huge 13-point outright win as 6.5-point underdogs which finds them holding the tiebreaker entering this crucial tilt. Should Devin Vassell and company hold serve at online sportsbooks, FSU would put itself in a position to share bragging rights of the regular season title. That’s something Jordan Nwora and company will without a doubt be looking to avoid! ... 

The No. 7 ranked Maryland Terrapins invade Columbus winners of nine in a row that’s seen them catapult themselves into the catbird seat of the Big Ten standings. That’s a view Chris Holtmann’s No. 25 Ohio State Buckeyes once had not too long ago when they were the toast of the town after getting out to such a strong start to their 2019-20 campaign. But these teams now find themselves on two incredibly different paths with the Terps currently checking in as a No. 2 seed in Bracketology mocks and the Buckeyes locked into a No. 6 seed. That could all dramatically change later Sunday afternoon when the teams close out their regular season rivalry against one another with the Buckeyes out to prevent Maryland from sweeping the season series. ... 

There will only be two top-25 pairings going in primetime at online sportsbooks on Saturday night; the No. 14 Oregon Ducks squaring off against the No. 24 Arizona Wildcats is one of them. If it plays out anything like the first meeting in Eugene at the beginning of January, college basketball bettors will be in for a treat after Dana Altman’s kids scored the 74-73 overtime win but failed to cover the closing 3-point spread. Sean Miller’s squad sat a full game back of both the Ducks and Colorado Buffaloes for Pac-12 supremacy heading into Thursday night’s home tilt with the Beavers. Should everything hold true heading into Saturday, this will arguably be Nico Mannion and company’s most important game of the season if it’s to compete for conference title bragging rights. ... 

The No. 12 ranked Villanova Wildcats will be out to put the finishing touches on a dominant three-game road trip when they close it out in the Cintas Center where Naji Marshall and the Xavier Musketeers will attempt to not get swept in both regular season meetings for the third time in the last four years. Jay Wright’s troops have been nothing short of world-beaters on the current trip smashing its first two opponents by 20 points per game each, and already own a 68-62 win and cover versus the X-Men from back in December. The Wildcats did however only fall for the first time in the last eight meetings in last year’s visit to the ‘Natti, so Xavier knows it can get the job done should it bring its “A” game to the gym. Y’all best be tuning into this one as it’s going to be a war right from the opening tip! ... 

The No. 1 ranked Baylor Bears are either going to win the Big 12 regular season title on Saturday, or they’re going to allow the No. 3 Kansas Jayhawks tie them atop the standings. Having already broken KU’s Big 12 record of most consecutive regular season wins, it only makes perfect sense for Scott Drew’s kids to add to their already fantastic resume by busting out the brooms on the team that’s dominated the conference since it came into existence. Easier said than done however! Saturday will mark the 23rd time a team will have a shot at sweeping Kansas in the regular season with Bill Self manning the controls. Only one of those teams managed to pull off the deed. Now the hunted and not the hunter, how will Baylor deal with the pressure of living up to the pressure? If history is any sort of indicator, not so good; Baylor’s 0-3 SU and ATS laying points to the Jayhawks in Waco. ...
