25 DIME - BRADLEY BRAVES - Some rumblings going on in Creighton.
When you start suspending players mid-season, all can't be well for Dana Altman's squad.
And such is the case with 2nd leading scorer P'Allen Stinnett who was has been suspended for tonight's game for undisclosed reasons.
My people out of vegas tell me he is not happy about being taken out of the starting lineup, and made his case known to everyone except the head coach creating some dissension among this Creighton.
Not exactly what you want going on when you are heading on the road facing a surging Bradley team playing arguably their best ball of the entire year.
Off a 2-point road loss to to league leader and current 17-2 Northern Iowa 52-50 as a 14 point underdog, the Braves have finally taken off.
They have reeled off 3 in a row SU and 2 out of 3 ATS although the non cover was last game out against Evansville winning by 10 laying 11 blowing a 17 point lead with 7 minutes to go.
You are getting fantastic value tonight with a very short number and with all that is going on with Creighton, love Bradley in this spot here.
The Blue Jays were already struggling on the road this year going 1-7 SU just 2-6 ATS including 1-3 SU and ATS on Missouri Valley road.
They lost by 6 at Indiana State as a 1 point favorite, lost by 12 at Wichita State as an 8 1/2 point dog and by 9 at Illinois State as a 6 point dog.
Altman may be losing this team and facing an all of a sudden together Bradley squad on the road short one of your guards and 2nd leading scorer isn't going to build moral either.
Bradley is getting contributions from everywhere as 5 guys have scored in double figures in 3 of their last 4 games led by the guard duo of last years leading scorer Sam Maniscalco and Andrew Warren.
One of the big strengths of this Bradley is their guard play and at home versus Creighton who is down one of their key guards, solid play on the home team.
10 DIME - ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE - Won't be any different this time around.
When they met on January 9th at LSU the Crimson Tide jumped out to a 15 point halftime lead and never looked back in winning 66-49 leading by as many as 26.
Now at home and off a momentum building win against Mississippi State 62-57 as a 1-point favorite, Alabama will be full of confidence to hammer this team again.
This is an LSU team that has covered just 4 games all year long with only 1 of those covers coming on the road versus Washington State.
They have been beaten and beaten badly by the likes of Uconn and Arizona State at Madison Square Garden by 26 and 19 points respectively.
At Florida they lost by 14, at South Carolina they lost by 9 in a game they led by 8 at the half before getting outscored by 17 in the 2nd half.
Down by 11 with 29 seconds to go they got a layup for the cover as the Gamecocks ran out the clock.
Folks, the weakness of this LSU squad is their guard play and against Anthony Grant's full court pressure, especially on the road is a blowout waiting to happen.
I'm confident this is a double digit win and cover for the Tide at home.
10 DIME - OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER - You shut down Derrick Rose and you beat Chicago.
Enter Russell Westbrook.
The last time these two faced each other was January 4th in Chicago with Westbrook outscoring Rose 29-19 which led the Thunder to a 13 point road win.
Now catching the Bulls at home, I look for the Thunder to lay down the hammer against a Chicago team playing their 4th road game in 6 nights and 6th road game in the last 10.
Bottom line is the Bulls don't match up with the Thunder and considering Oklahoma City has the 2nd best ATS mark in the NBA, this is a blowout waiting to happen.
Against sub .500 opponents, Oklahoma City is 10-3 ATS last 13 and let's go ahead and make that 11-3 ATS after tonight.
