Miami-Ohio at EMU (151')

By Andy Fanelli, Featured Handicapper

Baylor was not up for the challenge last night at home, as the Bears never led in the second half at home last night versus Arizona.

OK, so a misfire last night. Tonight I am getting back on the beam with a 50 dimer out of the Big Twelve.

50 DIME
Winner # 7 of 10

Big Twelve Game of the Month

Texas Tech at TCU - 8:00 ET

I need this one to be a winner and that is all there is to say about that.

Red Raiders and the Horned Frogs will be a winner.

If it is offense you are seeking this Tuesday night, tune into this Miami-Ohio at Eastern Michigan MAC showdown in Ypsilanti.

The RedHawks are 15-8 Over the total for the season while the Eagles have gone 15-9 Over the total for the season. Both teams landed Under the total over the weekend in their last game, but they should get back to their high-scoring ways in this meeting much like they did when they played one another for the first time this season in Oxford on January 28th when Miami-Ohio won it 89-80.

Miami-O is averaging a healthy 81.4 points per game, while Eastern Michigan is allowing 77.3 points per game while scoring 73.1 points per game.

It's an early start tonight for these MAC teams, and I expect the points to get cranking early as well.

Play the Over in this RedHawks-Eagles round two battle on Tuesday night.

Minnesota (+12') at UCLA

By Big Mike Tompkins, Featured Handicapper

It was nice to be on the right side of a close game for a change! Last night's 50 Dime Winner on Utah -2 1/2 points just does get there as the Utes hold off the Kansas State Wildcats by 4, 73-69.

Time to build off of that winner.

SEC Best Bet

Texas A&M at Miss State - 7:00 ET

MATCHES Monday's 50 Dime Winner
- Utah (-2') 74-69 over Kansas State -

All about this one winner. Time to get busy and secure another "W".

UCLA has it going right now. Winners of 8 of their last 9 to improve to 19-7 on the season, the Bruins will look to notch win #20 of the regular season this evening when they host a Minnesota team that is desperate for wins as the regular season winds down.

Minnesota was a Saturday winner against USC in Los Angeles to improve to 13-12 for the year. The Golden Gophers have won 5 of their past 8 games, and they have covered 6 of their last 8 games when listed as the underdog.

The Bruins have gone 13-1 on their home court this year and I do not doubt for a minute that the Uclans are going to improve on that mark in tonight's contest, but I also feel that the Golden Gophers are playing well enough right now to make the very generous double-digits work in their favor.

Go ahead and grab the underdog Golden Gophers to keep things close this Tuesday night in Westwood.
