Jan. 14 Plays

We broke even last night, and look to improve on that with 16 Units in play.

Seton Hall at Georgetown 145.5
The Hoyas always commit to a slower pace than most Big East teams, playing a Princeton-style offense and using their length to disrupt the opponents’ offense.
The total has been under in the last seven meetings between these two teams at numbers less than 145.5.
Seton Hall certainly has the ability to score in bunches, but struggles against defenses with length, such as Georgetown.
Look for the Hoyas to make a concerted effort to get the ball to Greg Monroe and grind out a victory.
Take the under for 4 Units.

Wright State (-4.5) at Green Bay
The Phoenix has played three straight conference games, going 1-2 in those. Green Bay returns home where it is 5-2 to face a Wright State team that is 2-5 on the road.
This is a matchup between two 4-2 teams in the Horizon and a battle for second place. Green Bay’s offense should be able to get the Phoenix a key home victory.
Wright State has had its struggles at the Resch Center, and Rahmon Fletcher should finally be healthy for the Phoenix. Fletcher is Green Bay’s leading scorer at 17 ppg.
Take the Phoenix for 3 Units.

Arizona State at Oregon 129.5
The Ducks’ offense was shut down in their last lost against Oregon State, but have scored at least 70 points in the seven games prior.
The Sun Devils are a defensive-minded team, but Oregon likes to push the tempo and shoot quickly into the shot clock. The Devils have some outside shooters and a nice inside presence with Eric Boateng.
Look for the winner of this game to be in the 70s. Take the over for 2 Units.

Providence (-3) at DePaul
The Blue Devils are in disarray having just fired head coach Jerry Wainwright. The players were reportedly upset with the decision and a mid-season firing is pretty rare in college basketball.
Look for Providence to take advantage with its ability to score. The Friars like to push the tempo and if the Devils fall into that pace, Providence should be able to win this one going away.
Take the Friars for 4 Units.

Gonzaga at St. Mary’s 153
The Bulldogs have averaged 78 points this season and shot 48 percent as a team, while St. Mary’s has totaled 81 ppg and also shot 48 percent, including 40 percent from 3-point range.
Both teams have plenty of options for 3-point shooting and look for this to be an up-and-down game with a lot of field goals.
Take the over for 3 Units.
