TCU-BYU<\/span><\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/h2>\n
The big dog Horned Frogs are in a defensive groove and
\ncould keep this game close. <\/span>Their last
\nfour opponents Air Force, Wyoming<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>,
\nSan Diego<\/st1:PlaceName> State<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place>
\nand New Mexico<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> shot a combined 38
\npercent including just 27.1 percent from beyond the arc. <\/o:p><\/p>\n
Arizona-Oregon<\/o:p><\/span><\/h2>\n
There are a lot of similarities in form and
\nmotivation. <\/span>Both have responded to
\nslumps with three-game winning streaks to likely earn a birth in the Big Dance
\neven if they lose. Totals players note the Oregon<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>
\nhas turned it up defensively allowing just 64.3 points per game in their last
\nthree after allowing 76 points per game in the three games before that. Even
\nhead coach Ernie Kent said they are \u201cplaying at our peak right now\u201d. <\/o:p><\/p>\n
LSU<\/span><\/span>-Tennessee<\/o:p><\/span><\/h2>\n
Sports online bettors who like riding streaks will want to
\nlook at Tennessee<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>\u2019s betting odds.
\nThey have won 7-of-8 SU after losing 6-of-8.
\n<\/span>It\u2019s no coincidence their return to form coincides with the return of
\nthe conference\u2019s leading scorer Chris Lofton.
\n<\/span>They went 1-3 with him out of the line-up. <\/o:p><\/p>\n
North Carolina-Duke<\/o:p><\/span><\/h2>\n
Says Brian Gould of CasinoBettingNews.com, \u201cWhen a big
\nspread is involved early in a tournament, the first thing to look at is
\nmotivation.\u201d One would think heavily favored Duke has something to prove as
\ntheir seventh seed is the lowest they\u2019ve had since 1995. <\/o:p><\/p>\n
On the other hand, the Blue Devils will be without
\nsuspended center Gerald Henderson. <\/span>He is
\noff his two best games of the year scoring 15 and a season high 16. r<\/span> Duke has allowed a season high in points each of its last
\ntwo games. However, for the year their defense allows just 60.7 points per
\ngame. <\/o:p><\/p>\n
Maryland-Miami<\/o:p><\/span><\/h2>\n
Miami<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> has only
\nfour conference wins, but perhaps their most impressive was at Miami<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>
\n63-58 on Jan. 10. <\/span>They have since lost
\n11-of-13, but two losses were in overtime. <\/o:p><\/p>\n
With revenge possibly a factor, Maryland<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>
\nis also on fire. They have won seven straight including versus Duke and UNC<\/span>. <\/o:p><\/p>\n
Utah-UNLV<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/h2>\n
The Rebels have an unfair advantage as hosts of the
\ntournament. They are 16-1 SU at home this year and that includes 10 straight
\nwins to the conference. However their closest call was double OT win to the
\nUtes on Jan. 3. <\/span>The Utes should be
\nplaying with extra momentum as head coach Ray Giacoletti<\/span>
\nresigned under heavy pressure. <\/p>\n
