A super college basketball matchup is on tap for Tuesday as North Carolina hosts Michigan State in a rematch of last April’s NCAA championship game. It is definitely a revenge game of sorts for Michigan State since the Spartans did not play well in the title game last year. “It should be a revenge game,” Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo said. “When I say it’s a revenge game I mean any time you get embarrassed on the biggest stage you can play in, there’s got to be some revenge. I just hope we’re mature enough to say, more than revenge it’s about can you play well that next year? Can you play up to that competition?”

North Carolina is – 2 points favorite at SBG Global.

The Spartans come into this game ranked 9th in the country while North Carolina is ranked 11th. Both teams were in the Top 5 earlier this season but the Spartans lost to Florida while North Carolina was blown out by Syracuse. Michigan’s State loss doesn’t look so bad now that Florida is unbeaten and ranked in the Top 25 and even the North Carolina loss isn’t that bad considering Syracuse is rolling.

The Tar Heels have dominated this series against Michigan State of late, winning the last four games. They lead the all-time series 9-3. Here are more college basketball betting stats for Tuesday’s game. The Spartans are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 road games. The Spartans are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 non-conference games.

The last NCAA team to beat Memphis was UAB more than 2 two years ago. The Tigers have won 54 league games since. The Tigers come into Thursday’s game ranked #5 having won 18 straight games. To keep that streak going they will have to beat a UAB team that hasn’t lost at home this season. “When we’re on the court, I’ve known and played against those guys,” UAB guard Robert Vaden said. “There’s going to be some bad blood. There’s going to be some trash talk and all that stuff. What game isn’t there?
Off the court, we’re all OK. On the court, there’s no friends between Memphis and UAB.” College basketball online odds have the public taking Memphis on the Road.

College Basketball Betting Preview
Memphis (24-3) at UAB (19-8)
Thursday, 9:00 pm Eastern – ESPN 2

UAB has won 26 of their last 27 home games with the only loss coming 79-78 last year against Memphis in a game in which UAB’s Lawrence Kinnard hit a shot at the end of the game that was ruled to have come just after the buzzer. Memphis came from behind in the last minute to win that game last season. The Blazers would definitely like a little revenge. “I don’t think there is bad blood between the two teams,” UAB coach Mike Davis said. “I think it is more of the fact we are trying to close the gap between Memphis and the rest of the league. And I think Memphis knows we are closing the gap. Until you win on a consistent basis you can’t close the gap.”

The NCAA matchup on Thursday pits UAB’s shooting against the defense of Memphis. Vaden leads the league in made 3-pointers for UAB but Memphis has a defense that shuts teams down. “We’re really excited,” Vaden said. “This is a chance for us to get a statement win. Everybody’s looking forward to this one, all our fans, everyone in the community. We’re going to come out and play our hardest and of course come out with a win.”

Here are the College Basketball betting stats for Thursday’s game. The Tigers are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games overall. The Tigers are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 Thursday games.

Stan Parrish gets his first taste of being a head coach on Tuesday as Ball State faces Tulsa in the GMAC Bowl. Parrish was the Cardinals’ offensive coordinator until head coach Brady Hoke left for San Diego State. “Who would’ve thunk it?” said Parrish, “Brady (Hoke) leaves and I’m the head coach. It’s just unbelievable. The football gods make things work in strange ways, don’t they?”

This Saturday, December 27th at 4:30, you could watch on ESPN the Champs Sports Bowl, Wisconsin (7-5) vs. Florida State (8-4). We are bringing our NCAA Football betting preview for this bowl. 

SBG Global Opening Line: Florida State – 5 , Total 52.5

Two teams that had disappointing seasons meet on Saturday in the Champs Sports Bowl as Wisconsin takes on Florida State. The Seminoles have really struggled on offense lately and it has cost them, as they lost three of their last five games. Quarterback Christian Ponder did not have a good season throwing 13 interceptions for a Florida State offense that struggled to score points. The good news for the Seminoles in this game is that they are playing in Orlando so they may have a home field edge. SBG Global reports that early College Football betting has the public taking Florida State at Home.

The Badgers are going to their fifth straight Florida bowl game but this is not the one they wanted to be in. The Badgers were ranked as high as #9 in the polls before losing five of six. Wisconsin also had a lot of trouble throwing the ball this season as quarterbacks Allan Evridge and Dustin Sherer did not play well. The Badgers do have running back P.J. Hill though. He had 1,024 yards and 13 touchdowns this season for a Wisconsin running game that was 14th best in the country. He should get tested by a Florida State defense that was 34th against the run.

Wisconsin has lost three of their last five bowl games including last year to Tennessee in the Outback Bowl. Wisconsin and Florida State have never met in their history. Here are the College Football betting stats for Saturday’s game. The Badgers are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 non-conference games. The Badgers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 bowl games as an underdog.

The Seminoles are 6-0-1 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games. The Seminoles are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games after scoring less than 20 points in their previous game.

If Houston wins as expected at home on Wednesday against Indiana they will be coming into Dallas on a 16 game winning streak.  That is where they streak may stop since the Mavericks have the second best home record in the NBA at 25-3.  What will help the Rockets is that Dallas forward Dirk Nowitzki will not play on Thursday as he will be serving a one game suspension for his flagrant foul against Utah’s Andrei Kirilenko on Monday. SBGGlobal reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Rockets on the Road.

Dallas has been playing the top teams in the Western Conference tough but has nothing to show for it except losses.  Dallas had fourth quarter leads against San Antonio, the Lakers and Utah, but lost all three games.  “It’s obviously a little frustrating,” Dirk Nowitzki said. “We’d love to win those games.”  The Mavericks have a favorable schedule this month.  They play nine of their next ten games at home.

SBG Global Current Line: Mavericks  – 1 , Total 184

Two of the top four teams in the Big 10 meet on Sunday when Michigan State hosts Indiana.  Both teams are still in the hunt for the Big 10 title although Indiana is the team that may have the best chance.  The Spartans are tough at home, having won 20 straight home games dating back to last year. This season, the Spartans are a perfect 17-0 at home, averaging 76.3 points and 49.7 percent shooting. During Tom Izzo’s career as head coach, the Spartans are 179-22 (.891) at home, including 156-13 (.923) over the last 11 years.

The Hoosiers defeated Michigan State handily earlier this season, winning by 19 points at Assembly Hall.  Indiana forward D.J. White knows that win means nothing on Sunday. “You have to throw that one away. We did the same thing last year. We beat them pretty bad at home and then went up there and gave it away. We need to be more focused going into this game and just forget about beating them pretty good here. Forget about it and just play.” It will not be an easy game for the Hoosiers and it will be their first road test under new head coach Dan Dakich. “They have really good players and a really good coach, and it starts with that. I think, first and foremost, what coach Izzo has done there is one of the truly great stories over the last 15 years or so in college basketball.” Dakich said, “Those two things, the players he has recruited and the way he has gone about coaching makes it difficult (to play up there). It’s difficult to play Michigan State up there and it’s difficult to play Michigan State here. Michigan State is one of the elite programs in America, so that makes it hard. And they have a great facility with great fans. So you combine all those and that makes them pretty good.”

The Hoosiers are led by Eric Gordon and D.J. White who both average over 20 points per game.  The Spartans are led Raymar Morgan who averages just over 15 points per game.  The Hoosiers are 8-2 on the road this season while the Spartans are 17-0 at home.

Sunday’s game is a huge one for the Hoosiers if they want to win the Big 10 Championship.  The may have to win their final three games to take the regular season title. “That’s our focus. Our focus is you control what you can control,” Dakich said, “There are not a lot of teams that are competing and can control their own destiny for a championship, there’s just not. And we are one of those teams that can, so as we go through this in our preparation, that’s what our focus is. How this all plays out remains to be seen, but that is our focus.”
