Late in the college basketball season, it seems that home teams have a huge home court advantage against nonconference opponents. LMU and VCU both covered at home yesterday. I will be leaning on home teams Saturday in these nonconference matchups. Will list a few that I like after I finish handicapping the games.

Big West: 14-15 ATS (4-5 in 2009, 5-2 previous)

Missouri Valley: 28-20 ATS (7-3 in 2009, 7-2 in 2008)
Metro: 20-21 ATS (5-5 in 2009, 5-5 in 2008)

WAC: 16-19 ATS (3-6 in 2009, 1-6 in 2008)
It’s interesting to note that the WAC had gone 10-3 ATS in 2006 and 2007 before its 6-16 collapse the last three years (4-12 L2).
