NCAA Basketball Lines SC at Baylor
The South Carolina Gamecocks (9-2 SU, 2-4 ATS, 4-1 O/U) had their five-game winning streak snapped the last time they took the court, losing to in-state rivals, Clemson 98-87 on Tuesday.
The 19th-ranked Baylor Bears (12-1 SU, 4-1 ATS, 2-3 O/U) have won six straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook and nine of their last 10 overall. Baylor absolutely trashed the Jackson State Tigers 113-78 on Wednesday as five players reached double figures in scoring.
The Bears shot 63.8 percent from the field and were 10-of-24, (41.7 percent) from 3-point range and rested most of their starters in the second half.
"As far as today goes I think that our first group out there did a great job and they really got us off to a great start and helped us set the tone," Baylor coach Scott Drew said. "Everybody played and everybody played hard. A lot of good things were accomplished and now we are fully focused and ready for (South Carolina) and then the Big 12."
6-8 senior forward Kevin Rogers scored a team-high 21 points on 10-for-13 shooting while senior guard Henry Dugat added 20 points on 7-for-11 shooting.
The Gamecocks cut an 18-point deficit to eight points with 11:38 remaining but couldn't get over the proverbial hump despite getting a career-high 37 points from junior point guard Devan Downey on 14-of-21 shooting from the field.
"We just can't dig ourselves into these kind of holes in big games," said Downey, who's averaging a team-high 20.6 points. "We just can't do it."
Here is a look at tonight's key trends, followed by my in-depth analysis and NCAAB Free Pick.
The Gamecocks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a double-digit loss at home.
The Gamecocks are 28-7 ATS in their last 35 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
The Bears are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Friday games.
The Bears are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
The Over is 6-1 in Gamecocks last 7 overall.
The Over is 20-6 in Bears last 26 overall.
NCAAB Odds
South Carolina +9 -110
Baylor -9 -110
Analysis: The Gamecocks don't stand a chance of winning this game whatsoever and no matter how hard I try to envision a cover for the Gamecocks in this matchup, I just don't see it happening. Take the Baylor Bears to roll to victory while covering the spread with room to spare.
NCAAB Free Picks: Baylor -9 Points

College Cram Session: Betting the bowls
Looking back at the college football season, one thing sticks out at me: Trends mean nothing. Analyzing teams' strengths, weaknesses, motivational factors and injuries means everything.
This remains true during bowl season.
Some people swear by betting bowl underdogs. But dogs are 30-31 ATS the past two seasons.
Others insist overs are the best bet during bowl seasons. Yet, out of the last 64 bowls, only 32 have gone over the total.
And there are always those who say betting on teams from the best conference is the way to go. But, in the last four bowl seasons, the most profitable conference - the SEC - is just 17-13 ATS. Only two other conferences, the Big 12 and Mountain West, are better than .500 against the number. And the worst conference, the ACC, is only three games under .500.
No one is making a killing by using trends solely while handicapping. So don't waste your time scouring through past results. Instead, spend your time researching what matters: strengths, weaknesses, motivational factors and injuries.
That said I was able to dig up some trends that I feel are viable during bowl season.
If you haven't checked out Covers Bowl Guide, it might be worth your time.
NOTES OF INTEREST
* Wake Forest is banged up at running back and will start former third-team fullback Kevin Harris at tailback against Navy. Brandon Pendergrass and Josh Adams have shared starting duties this season, but both are "semi-healthy" according to coach Jim Grobe.
* South Florida, already thin on the offensive line, will be without starting left guard Matt Huners, who has been ruled academically ineligible for Saturday's St. Petersburg Bowl against Memphis. Sophomore Jake Sims, a former walk-on, will get the start, but he's still healing from a broken bone in his hand suffered during last week's practice.
* Memphis also lost a starter to grades in senior tight end Brett Russell. It's not a huge loss for the Tigers, though. Russell has just 12 receptions for 73 yards this season.
* Radio reports out of Des Moines, Iowa have Arizona coach Mike Stoops in negotiations with Iowa State about its coaching vacancy. Stoops told the Tucson Citizen that he had no comment, which might mean more than actually saying something. Can you say distraction?
TWO I'M PLAYING
Last week: 1-2
Season: 31-24-1
Navy vs. Wake Forest (-3, 43)
Pick: Under
Preparing for Navy's option in the middle of the season is difficult.
But Wake coach Jim Grobe, who, as an assistant, installed the option at Air Force, has had ample time to get the Demon Deacons ready for a second meeting with the Midshipmen.
And it's not as if Navy shredded Wake Forest's defense in its 24-17 win on Sept. 27. The Deacons turned the ball over six times, including twice inside their own 30 yard line. Certainly, Wake will not turn it over six times this time.
I also like how Navy's defense has been playing. The Midshipmen posted consecutive shutouts to finish the season, albeit against offensive neophytes Northern Illinois and Army.
Memphis vs. South Florida (-11.5, 53.5)
Pick: South Florida
South Florida's defense finished the season strongly. The Bulls held West Virginia to just 143 rushing yards and 13 points in the season finale. They were also one of only two teams to hold UConn's Donald Brown, the nation's leading rusher, to under 100 yards.
I feel strongly that they'll be able slow down Memphis, which has shown the ability to move the football, but isn't in the same class as West Virginia or UConn.
No doubt, Memphis is the more excited team to be at Tropicana Field. The Tigers overcame an 0-3 start to earn a spot in the inaugural St. Petersburg Bowl.
Yet, oddsmakers posted South Florida as a double-digit favorite. That's as much a detriment against Memphis as it is a show of respect to the Bulls.
Anyone that has seen Memphis play a couple times this season knows the Tigers simply aren't very good.
And I have a feeling that South Florida remembers last year's flop in the Sun Bowl against Oregon.
PAYNE PONDERING OF THE WEEK
Which is more profitable for bettors: NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament or college football's bowl season?
For me, it's not even close --- I generally roll in hoops tourney. For some reason, it's just easier for me to pick out a few dogs here and there and turn a profit by the end of the tournament. (I've also won three of the last five office pools I've entered. Toot, toot own horn.)
What about the rest of you? Which sporting event is generally more profitable?

West Coast hate for NCB hoops and NFL picks
As a 30-year veteran of West Coast sports journalism, I am proud to announce that my least favorite time of every year has begun -- college basketball.
It's not just me.
Sports fans in Washington, Oregon, and the San Francisco Bay Area trend toward getting house projects done or training for triathlons instead of flocking to gyms to flatten there rear ends, eat hot dogs and cheer on the mostly mediocre offerings.
I didn't mention L.A. because of the long title tradition and recent excellence of UCLA basketball.
Gonzaga hasn't reached anything close to UCLA, but the Zags have thoroughly dominated the West Coast Conference to the point where Gonzaga has been "UCLA Lite" the last decade.
I didn't mention San Diego because only a very few deranged college basketball fans can name more than one player on San Diego State or the University of San Diego.
While many areas around our country enjoy this long and winding road that eventually leads to March Madness, non-UCLA fans only jump on their team's bandwagon when it's reaching full speed.
Washington, USC and defensive-minded Washington State have made probing runs fairly deep into the NCAA Tournament in the last few years. But they seem to fall back as quickly as they rise.
The Bay Area gets a jolt from Stanford every few years and with former Duke star Johnny Dawkins heading the program, the Cardinal may now become consistently good.
The Cal basketball program has drowned in a sea of 16-14-type seasons the last 10 years and has to be considered one of the most boring programs in the country.
Ben Braun's teams were easy to bet on because they almost always took care of business against the Morgan State's and Idaho's of the world, but rarely pulled any big upsets, despite a cozy, intimidating new facility.
Cal was famous for blowing leads against favored teams, not only losing the game, but not even covering. Talk about irritating.
Braun's gone, replaced this season by Mike Montgomery, who flamed out at Stanford because, according to some Stanford boosters, he didn't win the big games and he didn't get the most from his talent.
Cal fans are not happy to get Stanford's trash. Monty was a terrible NBA coach in his brief stint with the dysfunctional Warriors. Odds are the Bears will remain Pac-10 fodder under Montgomery.
Cal was a lot more fun when outlaw coach Todd Bozeman was breaking rules (pretty much all of them) and getting some of the best players in the country, if only for a year or two.
The state of Oregon is now more enthused about football than basketball.
Oregon State has been one of the worst basketball programs in the country for a long time. The Beavers are newsworthy only because their head coach is Barack Obama's brother-in-law. I doubt that will mean more wins in Corvallis.
Oregon has Mac Court, known as "The Pit," and this beat-up old facility can be a terribly difficult place to play. But the Ducks haven't had many good players the last few years, making the two-game road trip to Oregon one of the least stressful in the Pac-10.
Arizona has a ton of tradition and some NCAA Tournament success, but the ugliness of the Lute Olson situation has slobber-knockered the Wildcats, driving a wedge between the fans, coaching staffs and even some players, who are questioning their choice of programs.
Arizona State basketball has all the tradition and pride of -- well, Arizona State football. Sure, ASU football has been to a few minor bowls in recent years, but there is always a dreadful three-game losing streak in the middle of the season that torpedoes ASU's expectations.
Arizona State basketball fans -- all 167 of them -- can count on a seven or eight-game run of losses that similarly sinks the school's basketball fortunes.
What makes this all doubly irritating, from a coverage standpoint, is that we here in the Bay Area pretend that St. Mary's, Santa Clara, San Jose State and USF all matter.
They don't.
When you throw in women's teams from all these schools as well as the Pac-10 women's teams, well, it's just too much. That might not be very politically correct, but it's true.
My new rule is this: You need to have at least 1,000 people in attendance at your basketball game before we put it in the paper or on a Website and make it news.
West Coast basketball doesn't have a chance from the get-go what with ESPN's obsession with the North Carolina/Duke/Kansas/UConn/Maryland/Syracuse power core of college basketball.
Lately, the network that can suffocate a sport or a player in the time it takes to say LeBron James, has started to ram individuals down our throat.
That's because they recognize and publicize one of the biggest frauds in sports, the one-and-done college basketball star.
This year, it's Blake Griffin of Oklahoma.
Last year, Derrick Rose of Memphis and UCLA's Kevin Love were thrown under the spotlight, picked apart and sent off to the NBA. Any announcer who used the term "student-athlete" while describing these mercenaries should have lost his job on the spot.
Way to lay down the law, NBA. Make 'em go through a whole year of "college" and then they'll be much more prepared for the world of pro basketball.
Picks
Last week, I was dead on with some college picks (USC over Notre Dame, Oregon big over Oregon State and Hawaii easy over Washington State). But the day changed and so did my luck.
I was woefully off base on the 49ers, who somehow won outright in Buffalo in one of the worst NFL games I've ever seen.
The Bills somehow followed a 54-point effort in K.C. with a three-point outburst at home. Buffalo authored some of the worst red zone offense in NFL history in blowing this one.
The Raiders looked like a lock to win a second game in a row, what with the dreadful Chiefs in town and Oakland buoyed by a stunning win in Denver the week before.
So what do the Raiders do to destroy any chance for a win?
They try a fake field goal, hoping to get 10 yards by pitching the ball to their dumpy, bald kicker.
The play, predictably, is butchered to the point where the botched pitch bounces directly to the Chiefs for an easy special teams touchdown.
The Raiders. Can't coach 'em. Can't play 'em. Can't trust 'em. Won't do it.
NFL
Go ahead and give me credit for the Chargers maiming of the Raiders on Thursday. San Diego has now won nine in a row over what is quickly becoming the saddest franchise in the NFL outside of Detroit.
Why do I think the 49ers will test the Jets? Because they will, and can win this game outright. Brett Favre's bubble partially burst against Denver last weekend. 49ers 27, New York Jets 23.
Betting against Seattle is one of the great pleasures of this football season. Look for New England, favored by about a touchdown, to get well in Seattle this weekend: Patriots 30, Seahawks 14.
It's time for the Cardinals to do some stat-padding, much like Cal will do against Washington. Arizona, favored by 14, will do some very bad things to the Rams: Cardinals 40, Rams 17.

Tigers running Calipari's version of dribble-drive offense to perfection
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The bounce pass down court to the teammate running at breakneck speed, finishing with a pullup jumper. Or the outlet pass to Joey Dorsey for a dunk so powerful it nearly brings down the backboard. There's also the pretty backcourt cut for the easy layup.
Memphis coach John Calipari jokes that the Tigers' offensive style involves rolling out the balls, no organization and letting everyone play.
But the man who surprised his mentor and friend Larry Brown by switching offenses to something devised by a junior college coach is heading to the Final Four with the perfect mix of players in the right system for his version of the dribble-drive motion offense.
Or as Calipari describes the way these Tigers are playing now, "Princeton on steroids."
It's a big reason why the Tigers are in only the school's third Final Four and first since 1985. Memphis (37-1) plays UCLA (35-3) on Saturday in the national semifinal in San Antonio after rolling through the South Regional where the Tigers first beat Michigan State, then Texas by 18 points each.
The Tigers are averaging 80.3 points. They are taking care of the ball, trimming their turnovers when it matters most. They have had only 33 turnovers in four NCAA tournament games, an average of 8.3. That's down from 9.7 over the past 18 games.
"The reality of it is I like my team. I believe in my team. I trust my team. I'll say it again. I've got a whip. Let's go," Calipari said of letting his Tigers play. "I'm not saying it to be arrogant like I normally do. I'm speaking the truth."
This offense didn't look like this two years ago when UCLA beat Memphis 50-45 in the Oakland Regional final when it was in its infant stage.
Calipari had picked up Vance Walberg's offense when the then-junior college coach came to one of his clinics six years ago. But the Memphis coach only started easing the Tigers into his variation when he had guard Antonio Burks on the floor through 2004.
The arrival of All-American Chris Douglas-Roberts, Robert Dozier and Antonio Anderson in 2005 gave him the players, with Dorsey under the basket, to play away in an offense that spaces players out, giving the person with the ball room to dribble and drive to the basket or kick out to teammates cutting to spots for open shots.
Now a junior, Dozier said the offense was complicated when the Tigers first started learning.
"Maybe the first two weeks of practice when we had to install it was probably the worst it was there. ... You have to be at a certain spot on the court," he said.
Now four of Calipari's five starters have practiced so much over the past two years that they know the offense very well. Freshman point guard Derrick Rose has been a fast learner, and Douglas-Roberts said it isn't easy for opponents to learn how to stop Memphis' offense in the postseason.
"A day in advance you can't really prepare for this offense. So that's why it looks so good right now," Douglas-Roberts said.
Anderson said the teammates now know where someone will be when needed.
"It's easier now than it was two years ago. It's a whole lot easier, way more comfortable with the offense. It's helped us out a lot. I love it," he said.
Zone defenses that used to slow down the Tigers haven't worked in the NCAA tournament. Rose and his teammates have simply driven past defenders, refusing to settle for long-range jumpers.
"We like 3s, but we love to shoot layups and in-between shots, and that's what we're doing," Douglas-Roberts said. "We base our whole offense on driving, so 3s just come with it. If we're making 3s, we're just that much better."
Calipari credited his Tigers with knowing what defenses are trying to do to them these days and being more conscientious about driving to the basket. The offense is looking so good that Calipari said that even though Brown remains a basketball purist, he probably will adopt some things for himself when the veteran coach gets back into coaching.
"There are other things he would never do," Calipari said of Brown.
Walberg watched the Tigers' near perfect execution in Houston last weekend and will be in San Antonio this weekend. He credited Calipari with changing the offense to fit his team.
"To run that offense, it may look like you're throwing the balls out. If you don't know where they're going or how they're moving, if your inside guy doesn't read, there's so many different things. It's the little things that make you successful. If you don't do the little things in that offense, you shoot yourself in the foot," Walberg said.
"John has them clicking on all cylinders."
The Tigers will be without senior guard Andre Allen, suspended Wednesday for violating team rules. He played in 37 games this season, averaging 3.3 points and 14.1 minutes. "We'll be fine," Calipari told The Commercial Appeal.

Zags prepare for Davidson
SPOKANE, Wash. -- Make it an even 10 straight NCAA tournaments for Gonzaga.
The No. 24 Zags have to fly across the country and play Davidson, the hottest team in college basketball right now, in its home state of North Carolina on Friday morning.
Coach Mark Few doesn't care. The Zags built themselves into a national power by playing anyone, anywhere. This year, they played 10 teams that made the NCAA tournament.
"To make it for 10 straight years is probably the greatest thing we have been able to do here," said Few, an assistant the first year and head coach the past nine.
Gonzaga (25-7) is tied with Texas and Wisconsin for the sixth-longest streak of NCAA appearances behind Arizona (24), Kansas (19), Kentucky (17), Duke (13) and Michigan State (11).
The Zags have never gotten beyond the Elite Eight, a feat recorded by the 1999 team that first captured national attention.
"We want to beat that team," guard Jeremy Pargo said.
To do that they have to first get past Davidson, which has the nation's longest winning streak at 22.
"They're hotter than hot," Few said.
Much is being made of the fact that seventh-seeded Gonzaga has to fly more than 2,000 miles to Raleigh, N.C., for the game Friday, while 10th-seeded Davidson (26-6) only has to travel about 100 miles from Davidson, N.C.
"We're going to have to play them straight up basically in their own backyard," Few said.
Cross-country trips into hostile arenas are nothing new to the Zags. This season they traveled to the East Coast to play Connecticut and Saint Joseph's, and played at Memphis. They travel so much that boosters recently provided a 30-passenger charter plane so the team can avoid commercial flights to road games.
Pargo, the West Coast Conference player of the year, is looking forward to the trip.
"We just want to come out and represent ourselves and the program, come out and play hard, leave some guys stunned on the East Coast about how hard we play," Pargo said.
The Zags have won eight of their past nine games, losing only the WCC title game to San Diego to put themselves in the position of requiring an invitation.
The Zags always play a brutal nonconference schedule to grab the attention of Top 25 voters before entering the WCC campaign. With three WCC teams making the NCAAs for the first time ever, the league season was no picnic, either.
This season they beat NCAA participant teams Western Kentucky, Connecticut, Georgia and Saint Joseph's. They lost to NCAA teams Memphis, Washington St., Oklahoma and Tennessee. They split with league rivals San Diego and Saint Mary's.
Davidson went 20-0 in the Southern Conference.
The Gonzaga-Davidson winner will face the winner of the No. 2 Georgetown-No. 15 Maryland-Baltimore County game in the Midwest Region. Kansas is the region's top seed.
Davidson relies on guards Stephen Curry and Jason Richards. Curry, son of NBA player Del Curry, averages 25.1 points per game, fifth nationally. His 139 3-pointers are tied for first in the nation.
"You got to slow a guy like that down," Pargo said of Curry, and will likely be assigned the task.
Richards averages eight assists per game, best in the country.
Davidson lost to North Carolina, Duke and UCLA this season. Its best win is against Winthrop, an NCAA team. The teams have no common opponents and have never faced each other.
This is Davidson's third-straight NCAA tournament appearance and fifth since 1998 under 19-year coach Bob McKillop. Davidson hasn't won an NCAA tournament game since 1969, when Lefty Driesell was coach.

McGee helps Nevada beat Fresno State 64-57
LAS CRUCES, N.M. -- JaVale McGee had 22 points, 10 rebounds and four blocked shots and Marcelus Kemp responded after a scoreless first half with 12 points as Nevada beat Fresno State 64-57 on Thursday night.
McGee hit 9-of-15 from the field, DeMarshay Johnson scored 11 points and second-seeded Nevada (21-10) advanced to the Western Athletic Conference semifinals.
Alex Blair scored 14 points while Kevin Bell and Eddie Miller each had 11 for Fresno State (13-18), which trimmed a 31-19 halftime deficit to three points midway through the second half but couldn't close the gap.
Bell's 3-pointer with 11:11 remaining cut the margin to 43-40, but McGee responded with a three-point play. The 7-foot-1 center drove for a dunk and added the free throw for a 46-40 lead.
Nevada has won six straight over the Bulldogs, including a 76-63 win Saturday to close the regular season. McGee had 23 points and 14 rebounds in that one, helping the Wolf Pack to a fifth straight 20-win season.
Kemp, Nevada's scoring leader with a 20.1 average, found an offensive rhythm after going 0-for-4 in the opening half. He kick-started the offense with a 3-pointer less than two minutes after halftime.
McGee made up for Kemp's struggles with a big first half, leading the Wolf Pack to a 31-19 lead at the break. He was 5-for-7 from the field for 11 points with six rebounds.
Nevada also used a 13-0 run, with McGee hitting a 3-pointer, to erase Fresno State's early 12-7 lead.
Bell finished with four assists, making him Fresno State's career leader with 599. Dominic Young had 598 from 1995-97.
