The NCAAB Comp play for Sunday is on Cincinnati at 4 eastern.
The Bearcats just had their 16 game win streak snapped. They are however 7-1 straight up and ats of late vs winning teams and 2-0 at home vs top 50 teams. They have covered 3 of 4 at home with a 140 to 145 point total and are on a 5-1 home spread run. Wichita is 0-2 vs top 50 RPI Scale road teams and they have failed to cover 5 of 6 when they lose as a dog and are 1-4 ats on the road vs .600 or better teams, They have scored 90 or more in back to back games but will face a tough Cincy defense that allows just 56 points per game. We will back the Bearcats today. On Sunday the BIG 10 Game of the Month and a powerful 5* RPI Scale power system play headline the card. For the Free play. Take Cincinnati. RV- GC Sports

My free play is on Wichita State plus the points at Cincinnati.
Motivation is the key factor here, as Wichita State sits just two games behind Cincinnati, with two left to play against the Bearcats.
The Shockers come into this one having won three in a row, including an impressive revenge win versus Temple. Meanwhiel, Cincinnati is coming off its first AAC loss at Houston.
And lest we forget Wichita State was a preseason pick to challenge for the title. A few weeks ago it didn't look good for the Shockers, but with the Bearcats losing at Houston, the Shockers are back in business.
Play the road pup here.
3* WICHITA STATE

My free play is in the NBA All-Star Game.
With the newest twist to the NBA All-Star Game in place, I'm taking Team Steph to defeat Team LeBron in today's 67th edition.
If you haven't heard, which means you've been living under the same rock as those who didn't know the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl, many of Team LeBron's main guys have gone down with injury and are out of today's game.
That doesn't mean the team is short of talent, but it does make Team Steph that much stronger.
Steph Curry picked his Golden State teammates Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. He didn't get Kevin Durant, but he did get Paul George and Russell Westbrook and James Harden and Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo and of course Curry himself.
LeBron James' original roster included DeMarcus Cousins, John Wall, Kristaps Porzingis and Kevin Love - yet none of them will play after suffering injuries.
This is not about East vs. West. It's about the best of the best versus the best of the best. And Team James' roster took a major hit. I like Team Steph plus the moneyline.
1* TEAM STEPH

Today I want you playing the Pittsburgh Penguins against the Columbus Blue Jackets, as the two-time defending Stanley Cup champs will steal this one on the road.
Don't look now, but the defending champs are playing well and looking like, well - champions!
The Tampa Bay Lightning lost yesterday, the Vegas Golden Knights are atop the NHL standings and the Penguins are on an 8-1-1 run - including a 4-0-1 spurt in their last five.
Pittsburgh is in after a huge home win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, when Evgeni Malkin continued his assault on the stat sheet, scoring a goal and assisting on two others.
The trio of Evgeni Malkin, Carl Hagelin and Bryan Rust combined for three goals and eight points to help wrap up a perfect 3-0 homestand.
The momentum will carry over to Columbus, where I expect to see the Pens break out early and hold their lead.
Pittsburgh, 18-0-1 when leading after two periods, should have Matt Murray between the pipes today, even after his win yesterday. Murray is currently 8-0-1 in his last nine decisions. Thanks to his win against the Leafs, he established a new career-long unbeaten streak. Murray’s six wins in the month of February were tied for first in the NHL.
Take the Penguins today, as they should be favored.
3* PENGUINS

Free Pick on Canisius +
I like the value here with the Golden Griffins catching points against the Broncs. While Rider comes in having won 9 straight and are 10-1 at home, they are just 22-51 ATS in their last 73 as a home favorite of 6 points or less and 2-7 ATS in their last 9 at home when listed anywhere from +3.5 to -3.5.
Canisius has won 6 straight and are 10-1 over their last 11 games. The Golden Griffins have won 5 straight on the road and are 4-1 ATS in those contests. Canisius is 12-4 ATS in their last 16 road games vs a team that's won more than 60% of their home games.
They are also 22-7 ATS in their last 29 in road games with a total of 150 to 159.5 and 10-1 ATS in their last 11 road games after playing 4 straight games as a favorite. Take Canisius!
