At 5:05 pm, our selection is on the Washington Capitals minus 1.5 goals over the San Jose Sharks.  Washington was shut out, 3-0, by the Los Angeles Kings, on Thursday, while the Sharks handled the Chicago Blackhawks, 4-2.  The Capitals also lost at home to the Sharks, 2-1, earlier this season.  At the time, it was San Jose's 3rd straight win.  But the Sharks have gone 8-31 since that huge upset.  We'll take Washington to avenge that defeat, as it's 9-0 this season when playing with revenge.  And it's also 17-5 off a loss in its previous game.  Lay the 1.5 goals with Washington.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Norfolk St. Spartans minus the points over South Carolina St.  Although the Scope Arena isn't Norfolk's home gym, it will have the intangible benefit of playing this title game in its home city.  The Spartans lost at South Carolina State by three points in the most recent meeting.  But they won the 15 games prior to that defeat.  We'll lay the points with Norfolk this afternoon, as it falls into a 64-37 ATS Tourney system of mine.  Take the Spartans.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 11 am, our selection is on the Princeton Tigers + the points over Yale.  The Tigers snapped a 6-game ATS losing streak with a 95-71 blowout win over Penn last weekend.  This morning, they'll look to avenge a 27-point loss to the Bulldogs a month ago.  And Ivy League teams have gone 39-14-1 ATS vs. conference foes when playing with revenge from a 25-point (or worse) defeat, if they weren't getting double-digits.  Take Princeton.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Memphis Grizzlies + the points over Cleveland.  The Grizzlies lost earlier this season, 129-123. at Cleveland.  We'll take Memphis tonight, as it is 74-45 ATS when it lost the prior meeting vs. its opponent, if Memphis currently owned a .600 (or better) record.  Take the Grizz.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Miami Heat + the points over Boston.  Erik Spoelstra's Heat have lost their last five games, straight-up.  And they've failed to cover the spread in their last three.  The good news for Miami, tonight, is that it is 66-38-3 ATS off 3 ATS losses in a row, including 5-0 ATS their last five in this situation.  We'll take Miami as a big home underdog.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

Our 5 selections include North Texas, UNC/Duke UNDER, Merrimack, UCSB/UC San Diego UNDER, and UAB.<br><br>At 7 pm, our selection is on the North Texas Mean Green minus the points over Tulsa.  North Texas is on a 3-game ATS losing streak.  We'll lay the points, as they're a solid 41-23 ATS away from home off 3+ ATS losses, including 4-2 ATS in the post-season.  Take North Texas.<br><br>At 7 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Duke/North Carolina game.  The Tar Heels have played their last 3 games UNDER the total, including a match-up in Chapel Hill against these Blue Devils.  That prior meeting went UNDER by 9.5 point, while their next two games went under by 13 and 19.5 points, respectively.  We'll look for another low-scoring game on Friday.  Take the UNDER.<br><br>At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Merrimack Warriors minus the points over Mount St. Mary's.  The Mountaineers upset Marist yesterday.  We'll fade the Mountaineers here, as Merrimack is a super 67% ATS vs. opponents off upset losses.<br><br>At 9 pm, our selection is on the UC San Diego Tritons and Cal-Santa Barbara to go UNDER the total.  The Gauchos have played 11 of their last 13 post-season games UNDER the total when the O/U line was greater than 134 points.  That bodes well for a low-scoring game tonight.  As does the fact that the Tritons have played 5 of their last six games UNDER.  I'll look for a low-scoring game tonight.<br><br>At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the UAB Blazers minus the points over East Carolina.  UAB was upset, 85-68, by Tulane at season's end.  We'll lay the points with UAB tonight, as it has gone 38-23 ATS off an upset loss vs. foes off a SU win, while the Pirates have cashed just 33% of conference post-season games vs. foes off an upset loss.  Take UAB.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie

At 1 pm, our selection is on the Auburn Tigers minus the points over Mississippi.  The Tigers suffered back to back upset losses at the end of the regular season.  In Bruce Pearl's coaching career, his teams have cashed 65.5% off back to back losses, if they were playing a conference foe off a straight-up win, including a perfect 7-0 ATS away from home.  Even better:  SEC Conference teams have gone 105-67 ATS when favored off back to back losses, if they were playing an SEC foe with a winning conference record.  Take Auburn.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

Our 3 selections include VCU, Tennessee and George Mason.<br><br>At 11:30 am, our selection is on the VCU Rams minus the points over St. Bonaventure.  The Rams were upset, 79-76, by Dayton to end their regular season.  We'll take the Rams to bounce back this morning, as they're 33-21 ATS when favored in the post-season vs. a foe off a SU win.  Lay the points.<br><br>At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Tennessee Volunteers minus the points over Texas.  The Vols hit the skids at the end of the season with four straight ATS losses.  We'll take Tennessee to get back into the ATS win column, as SEC Conference teams have gone 223-169 ATS in conference games off 4+ ATS defeats.  Take the Volunteers.<br><br>At 5 pm, our selection is on the George Mason Patriots minus the points over George Washington.  George Mason is 27-13-2 ATS off 3+ ATS losses.  And it is also 7-1 ATS its last eight post-season games off back to back ATS losses.  Take the Patriots minus the points.  Good luck, as always..Al McMordie.

At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the East Carolina Pirates minus the points over Texas San Antonio.  The Pirates won both meetings vs. the Roadrunners this season, and have won five straight overall in the series.  East Carolina did lose its season-ending game at Florida Atlantic, but had won six of seven going into that game.  The Roadrunners, on the other hand, have dropped seven of their last nine (though they ended their regular season with an upset win at Charlotte).  We will fade UTSA, as it's 10-20 ATS as a single-digit underdog off a win, when playing a foe off a loss.  And the Roadrunners also fall into a negative 20-56 ATS tourney system of mine.  Lay the points with East Carolina.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
