The Aggies are plus-500 on the money line (risk $100 to win $500.)

Texas A&M (24-9 SU, 16-9 ATS) has won seven of its last eight games, including Thursday’s first-round win over BYU as a 3-point underdog.  Bettors (like FiveStarPick.com) who backed A&M on the money line earned a +130 payout.  Bryan Davis lead the Aggies with 21 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocked shots.

Jim Calhoun was hospitalized on Thursday and missed his team’s 103-47 win over Chattanooga as a 20-point favorite. Stanley Robinson had 24 points, while Jeff Adrien finished with 13 points, 16 rebounds and 4 assists. Hasheem Thabeet and A.J. Price added 20 points respectively.

It is finally here.  March Madness…our time to shine.  FiveStarPick.com has been crushing the brackets this year analyzing stats, trends and injury reports to bring our clients the best opportunity to win against the spread in this year’s college basketball tournament.  The focus of today’s preview is the 8/9 matchup at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia betweent the Texas A&M Aggies and the Brigham Young Cougars.  Las Vegas Sportsbooks list the Cougars as 3-point favorites with the total hovering around 139.

The Aggies won last season’s tournament meeting with BYU, 67-62, as 1-point favorites.  Texas A&M (23-9 SU, 15-9 ATS) won each of its last six regular-season games before losing to Texas Tech in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament. Nevertheless, the Aggies are a robust 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games.  A&M is 6-1 ATS in its seven tournament games since 2006. They were eliminated by UCLA in last season’s tourney, 51-49, as 9.5-point underdogs.

BYU has Lee Cummard, who averages 16.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. The Cougars have two other great scorers in Jonathan Tavernari (16.2 PPG) and Jimmer Fredette (15.9 PPG).  But their schedule is no where near that of a Big 12 school and should have their hands full with the Aggies today.  BYU had covered the number in nine straight games before failing to cover in its regular-season finale in the MWC Tourney.  BYU is only 5-6 ATS as a single-digit favorite this season, but Texas A&M has cashed at a 9-3 ATS clip in 12 underdog spots.

FiveStarPick.com has been hot on Seminole Basketball as of late with our members getting the Noles yesterday as 9-point dogs.  Toney Douglas gave money line wagerers (risk $100 to win $350) something to line their pockets with as he scored 27 points and lead FSU to a 73-70 win over North Carolina.  But today is a new day and the question is…can FSU avoid a post upset let down when they take on Duke today?  Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Blue Devils as 6-point favorites with the total hovering around 134.5.

Duke (26-6 straight up, 15-15-1 against the spread) got a scare in Friday’s quarterfinal game against Boston College.  Gerald Henderson hit the game winner with 34 seconds left to lead the Dukies to a 66-65 victory. 

FSU (25-8 SU, 18-8-1 ATS) almost got upset by Georgia Tech, but slipped by with a 64-62 victory. Douglas went 11-16 from the floor to score 25-points and vault his team to another win.  That’s how FSU has done it all season long.  Douglas is the go-to guy offensively, while the entire team plays major D.

Duke and FSU met twice during the regular season with the Blue Devils winning in both outings…but the ‘Noles covered the spread in both.  Duke owns a 4-6-1 spread record in single-digit favorite situations and the ‘Noles are 11-4-1 ATS when listed as an underdog this season.

FiveStarPick.com and its members had a crappy day yesterday with a miserable 1-3 ATS record…but there is a lot of great action on the board today in several sports…the PGA Tour, College Basketball and the NBA.  The focus of today’s preview is the long anticipated ACC matchup between the Duke Blue Devils and the North Carolina Tarheels.  Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Heels as 8.5-point home favorites with the total hanging in around 165.

Duke (25-5 straight up, 15-14 against the spread) is riding a 5-game winning streak after beating Florida State Tuesday as a 12-point home favorite, 84-81. The Blue Devils had covered the spread in their previous three games before facing the ‘Noles.  Duke was down to Florida State at halftime, 40-34, and then outscored the Seminoles in the second half, 50-41. The Blue Devils shot 40 percent from the field and 33 percent from 3-land.  Gerald Henderson lead the offense with 21 points and 10 rebounds, while Kyle Singler added 20 points and 7 boards.  

North Carolina (26-3 SU, 11-15 ATS) is coming off an 86-78 win against Virginia Tech last Wednesday as a 9 ½-point road favorite. The Tar Heels are just 1-4 ATS their last five outings.  North Carolina shot 41 percent from the field and center Tyler Hansbrough contributed 22 points and 15 rebounds in the victory.  Ty Lawson added 22 points and 5 assists.  The ‘Heels are a solid 13-1 SU at home but only 4-8 ATS.  The Tar Heels are 4-1 SU and ATS their last 5 meetings with Duke after prevailing February 11th, 101-87, as a two point road favorite.
