RECORD (48-41) +10.3 UNITS
PLAY OF THE DAY (4-6) -4.3 UNITS
**ALABAMA -10.5
-Alabama has very solid guard play that should be able to handle the pressure of Arkansas. Alabama has struggled on the road, but they are solid at home. The Hogs haven't played well on the road this year going 0-4 and 3 of those losses were by double digits. Two big questions for Arkansas are how they plan to guard Green and Jacobs in the paint without any quality post defenders and how they are going to score against a very good half court defense.
**VILLANOVA +3
-The last 6 meetings between these teams have been decided by a tad over 3 points. What this translates to for me is that these coaches are very familiar with one another and know how to play the other team close.
To me Nova has played better basketball as of late and I think the fact that they are at home helps in this game as well. I think Nova has a shot to win outright, but it will take a solid effort to beat Marquette.
**CLEMSON -11.5
-This line makes me think that Ty Walker isn't going to play today. The one area of concern with betting Clemson would how they would deal with Wake in the paint if Walker played. The Deacons have had issues with good guards and Andre Young is playing some good basketball right now for the Tigers. I think that Clemson gets out to a quick start and never looks back.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL
