Jan. 26 Plays

After a close loss last night, we're back with 12 Units of action.

Kansas State at Baylor 149
Both of these teams have strong guard play and can catch fire from the outside. Neither team has scored all that much in recent games, but that’s more a function of playing tough teams.
These squads prefer to get up and down the floor, but each also has the inside presence for consistent scoring on the inside.
Take the over for 4 Units.

Northwestern at Minnesota (-12)
The Golden Gophers have played tough at home with a 10-1 record, but the nature of the Wildcats’ offense and defense is to keep them close in games.
Minnesota likes to get out and run when possible, but with how patient Northwestern is in its offense it will be hard for the Gophers to find any transition baskets.
Look for NU to hang around in this one. Take the Wildcats for 3 Units.

Tulsa at UAB (-3.5)
The Dragons are a perfect 10-0 at home this season, including victories over Butler and Cincinnati.
The Golden Hurricane has won seven games in a row, but has not been impressive in close wins against Oral Roberts and Rice.
Tulsa’s big man Jerome Jordan will run into an equal matchup in Elijah Millsap in the middle.
We made tons of money off of Elijah’s brother, Paul, when he was at Louisiana Tech and his little bro has the same kind of talent.
Take UAB for 3 Units.

Kentucky (-7.5) at South Carolina
The Wildcats look to be unstoppable right now and have risen to the No. 1 spot in the polls.
They haven’t shown any bashfulness in tough road environments either and as long as John Wall is playing, they will be a formidable opponent.
The Gamecocks have lost three straight and will miss the services of Dominique Archie in this one.
Take Kentucky for 2 Units.
