Thursday, March 19th

The 8 versus 9 games are very close, as they should be.

Butler (9) vs Louisiana State (8) -2.5

Behind The Line: Take a look at the over on this one–it’s at about 127. Butler has consistently been going over numbers in this area while LSU scores a lot more than other Horizon League teams.

Texas A&M [...]]]>

Wednesday, February 25th

Connecticut (2) at Marquette (10)

Behind The Line: Uconn has failed to cover in 4 of their last 5 as have the Golden Eagles. This should be an extremely small line, nearly a pick ’em game at Marquette.

Texas Tech at Texas (24)

Behind The Line: Texas Tech has not won a single road game this season and have failed to cover 4 straight.

Kansas(24) at Missouri Behind The Line: Kansas has covered 7 of their last 8 while Missouri has covered 3 straight and is also an impressive 14-0 at home.

Thursday, January 29th

Clemson (11) at Virginia Tech

Behind The Line:  This is going to be a very small line. VT could be favored at home where they are 7-1 this season. They have also covered 4 in a row against some good competition. Clemson on the other hand is 1-4-1 in 2009 against the spread.

St. Mary’s (18) at Gonzaga (25)

Thursday, January 21st

West Virginia at Georgetown (12)

Behind The Line: You might recall that last month and into the beginning of this month WVU was on fire. They covered 5 straight games over this span. However since getting deeper into Big East play, they have gone 2-2.

Purdue (19) at Minnesota (17)

Behind The Line: Minnesota has covered 4 of their last 5 while Purdue is 2-4 in their last 6.

Wednesday, January 13th

Temple at Pennsylvania

Behind The Line:  Temple has covered their last 3 games, all coming against lesser competition. On the other side, Penn has failed to cover 4 straight times.

Baylor (21) at Texas A&M

Behind The Line:  The line is going to be very small on this one. Baylor has not covered their last two cakewalks and are just 1-1 on the road. A&M is 10-0 at home and has covered 2 of their last 3. The time they did not cover was in [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2009/01/14/behind-the-lines-week-5/feed/ 0 Behind the Lines – Week 4 http://rushthecourt.net/2009/01/06/behind-the-lines-week-4/ http://rushthecourt.net/2009/01/06/behind-the-lines-week-4/#respond Tue, 06 Jan 2009 15:43:58 +0000 http://rushthecourt.net/?p=3465

Wednesday, January 7

Davidson at Duke(2) 

Behind the Line: Similar to the first game, Davidson is not so hot while Duke is scorching. Davidson has dropped 4 straight against the spread [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2009/01/06/behind-the-lines-week-4/feed/ 0 Behind the Lines – Week 3 http://rushthecourt.net/2008/12/20/behind-the-lines-week-3/ http://rushthecourt.net/2008/12/20/behind-the-lines-week-3/#respond Sat, 20 Dec 2008 14:48:18 +0000 http://rushthecourt.net/?p=3155

Welcome to the Week Three edition of Behind the Lines. On a weekly basis, we will cover the betting lines that stand out from the week that was in college basketball. This week I am going to do something a bit different. I am going to preview the potentially best upcoming games this week including analysis based on recent previous games played.

It is a slow week except for tonight, which is definitely an exception. There are some great games on tap.

In general I will stick to the relevant games that the majority of people can relate to.
