9* PERFECT STORM is on Ohio State.
The Gophers and Buckeyes face each other for the first time in the Big Ten Tournament. This is the "rubber match" if you will between these two teams as they've faced each other twice this season; Minnesota beat OSU 73-62 at Williams Arena, while OSU won 85-63 in Columbus. The Golden Gophers played one of their best halves of basketball all season yesterday and went on to win 69-42 over the Boilermakers. Minnesota led 37-11 at the half; however I believe they'll be in a dog fight today against the Buckeyes. Ralph Sampson III scored 13 points to lead Minnesota, which won its fourth consecutive game to boost its NCAA tournament resume (note: Minnesota is just 9-11 ATS vs. conference opponents; 7-10 ATS when playing against a team with a winning record; 5-9 ATS vs. good defensive teams that allow 64 points or less per contest). Although its had luck on its side to make it to this point after a miracle win on Friday over Michigan, and then another one on Saturday as OSU went to double OT to beat Illinois, I expect the the Buckeyes to continue to build momentum on their way to the "Big Dance. Three of Ohio States losses this season came when Evan Turner was out with injury; "We're kind of on a roll right now," said coach Thad Matta, "and Evan's the best player in college basketball," (note: Ohio State is 10-9 ATS vs. conference opponents; 11-6 ATS when playing against teams with winning records). The Buckeyes used a 20-0 second half run to take a 9-point lead before Illinois forced OT; so with that victory, OSU has kept its hopes alive of earning a No. 1 seed at the "Big Dance". The Golden Gophers are trying to become the first team since Iowa back in 2001 to win four Big Ten Tourny games in just four days, but I believe they'll come up short today after yesterday's dominating, but tiring performance. I expect the Buckeyes to control the tempo of this one and for Turner to further cement his legacy with another big game; no problem laying the points here.

10* ABC SHOWDOWN is on the Boston Celtics.
This is the first matchup between these teams since Shaq went down with a thumb injury. Boston had been playing a bit listlessly of late, but came out on fire in its last matchup, and I expect this team to carry that momentum into this contest. The Celtics crushed Indiana 122-103 on Friday. Rajon Rondo had 16 points and 11 dimes in 28 minutes against Indiana (note: Boston is 4-2 ATS its last six on the road). Lebron returned after a brief hiatus and had 23 points to go along with 20 dimes in the Cavs 100-95 victory over Philadelphia on Friday night. Filling in for Shaq is Antawn Jamison, who will return after a one game break (knee) (note: Cleveland is just 1-4 ATS its last five overall; 1-4 ATS its last five at home). Of course stopping LBJ will be of utmost concern for the Celt's today as he is averaging 37 in two games against Boston this season. Kendrick Perkins will once again be called upon to step up and get a body on Anderson Varejao; last time out Perkins connected on 4-of-6 shots for 10 points with seven boards, an assist and a block in just 23 minutes. "Perk was phenomenal," said Rivers. "When Perk gets into the role he played [Friday], where he didn't think about the offense at all, he gets dunks and layups. When he thinks about the offense, it gets tough. But when he does his job -- sets picks, runs the floor, and rebounds -- all of a sudden the offense comes to him and he's usually the guy under the basket by himself." Although its in third spot in the East currently, the Celts still have their eye on the prize and I expect them to leave everything on the floor today and use this game a litmus test to where they truly stand as they get set for the Playoffs; "I look forward to the game, seeing exactly where we are at," said Perkins. "We're going out and competing against a great team, at home, the best in the NBA, and seeing where we are at. It would be a great confidence boost for us if we could go into their home building and get a win,"; grab up the points.

4 Unit Play. #884. Take the Sacramento Kings -8.5 over the Minnesota Timberwolves (Sunday @ 9pm est). The Kings come off a tough loss to the Blazers at home by 16. In fact, they were pretty much manhandled at home. This comes off as a bit of a surprise considering they were doing so well at home winning against the likes of Denver, Utah, the Clippers and the Raptors. But, it could have just been a let down from the big win against the Raptors in the game before. I can see the Kings stepping back up here at home against the Timberwolves who have been dismal of late who are 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven games. Bear in mind that the Twolves have lost their last eight straight and last nine of ten overall and also note that the Kings have revenge against the Twolves from an earlier season loss this year losing 96-112. I look for Sacrament to play well at home here and pick up the win as well as the cover as they are 4-1 ATS in their last five games coming off a straight up loss, the Kings are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games and the Twolves are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games overall as such big underdogs.
4 Unit Play. #893. Take Minnesota +4 over Ohio State (Sunday @ 3:30pm est). I think Minnesota has been more consistent and impressive in the tournament than Ohio State frankly. People will show a great deal of love for Ohio State in this game. And, they are. You have about 66% riding Ohio State here. But, it is Minnesota that I think is the better team right now and they will indeed come with a solid chip on their shoulder. Minnesota has actually rolled fairly well here in the Conference Tourney compared to Ohio State who has been fortunate honestly with Evan Turner doing his late game heroics. But, I think as a team, Minnesota has played better and honestly, I would take Minnesota in this game even if they were at a pick-em, but, the four points are nice as well. Heck, we took NC State yesterday as a four point dog, and they managed to stay inside the number for us as well. These two teams have split the regular season and note that Minnesota has covered its last four games and their last 8 of 10 games as well as they are "gelling" at the right time here. This team dominated Purdue, beat a solid Michigan State team in overtime, and easily took care of Penn State. With a little bit of revenge against Ohio State from their last loss and the fact I think Ohio State's luck might be running out with late heroics, I like Tubby and the boys today to win outright or stay inside the number.
