Sports Corner Daily’s Results and Yesterday’s Recap

Last night Sports Corner Daily went 3-1 in our selections. Lets recap our selections, starting with the Florida Gators defeating the Oklahoma Sooners 85-63, hitting our Florida -14.5 pick on the game. Florida is still without starting center Alex Condon, but that didn't matter in this one as Florida started out hot and never looked back. Florida led by 22 points at halftime and never let Oklahoma get any momentum in a comeback. Florida improves to 23-3 and are quickly becoming a favorite to make a deep tournament run as a projected one seed. 

Next up, LSU took down South Carolina 81-67, hitting our ML selection on LSU. Both teams have struggled in SEC conference play, but LSU gets their second straight win in this one to improve to 3-10 in conference play. LSU’s remaining schedule is brutal as they have to go on the road to play 3 top ten teams in the next five games. LSU was led by guard Cam Carter who scored 17 points. 

In our next selection, the Xavier Musketeers took down the Butler Bulldogs 76-63, failing to hit our over 153.5 selection on the game. The game was in a good spot at halftime, as Xavier led Butler 48-31 at half, on pace to hit our over. Unfortunately, Xavier cooled off significantly, only scoring 28 points in the second half to blow our selection. Xavier improves to 17-10 overall and are now 9-7 in conference play. 

In our final selection of the night, the Wisconsin Badgers defeated the Illinois Fighting Illini 95-74, hitting our ML selection on Wisconsin. Wisconsin guard John Tonje led all scorers with 31 points in the win. Wisconsin improves to 21-5 overall on the season and 11-4 in conference play. Wisconsin has gotten themselves into a projected 2 seed overall for March Madness.

Today's LIVE Bets: 

NCAAB: Temple University @ University of NC Charlotte- 3:00pm ET

Over/Under - 👈  Click to get more info on tonights match up

Over 148.5

Analysis:

Temple is on a run. A run where the last 15 games they have hit the over line. While it’s true that this run has been bolstered by a couple of overtime games, it still highlights the Owls' offensive capabilities. Their recent matchup against Charlotte featured two of those overtime periods, resulting in a game that the 49ers would likely prefer to forget, as they’ve struggled significantly, losing 11 of their last 13 contests. This poor performance is largely attributed to defensive issues under the direction of coach Aaron Fearne, with the team allowing an alarming average of 80 points over their last eight games. On the other hand, Temple's defensive struggles are also evident, but they continue to find ways to score, even in the absence of their top scorer, Jamal Mashburn Jr., who averages 22 points per game and may be returning tonight. In his absence, the Owls have demonstrated depth with five players reaching double figures in scoring during their recent game against FAU. This combination…[Click here to get the Full write up on this bet]...

NCAAB: Providence College @ Georgetown University  - 7:00pm ET

Money Line - 👈  Click to get more info on tonights match up

Georgetown to win

Analysis:

We are taking Georgetown to win outright on the money line in this matchup. The timing seems right for them, especially considering that Providence is dealing with some key injuries. This creates an opportunity for Georgetown to capitalize on turnovers and make quick transitions, which is when Ed Cooley's squad performs optimally. Additionally, I'm cautious about betting on teams like Georgetown—who have struggled this season—when the spread is over three points. It's often safer to back a team to win outright rather than risk a larger margin…[Click here to get the Full write up on this bet]...

NCAAB: Furman University @ Samford University - 7:30pm ET

Over/Under - 👈  Click to get more info on tonights match up

Under 151

Analysis:

Samford's impressive scoring average of 82 points per game has led to many of their game totals being set in the 150s, including tonight's matchup against Furman. This high total reflects the Bulldogs' dynamic and balanced offense, which excels at shooting from long range, as evidenced by their 295 three-pointers this season—ranking them fifth nationally with an average of 10.9 per game. However, despite their offensive prowess, Samford has struggled to meet the oddsmakers' expectations recently, with 13 of their last 14 games finishing under the projected totals. This trend was evident in their previous encounter with the Paladins on January 29, where the teams combined for only 142 points in a 72-70 victory for Samford. That game was particularly low-scoring at halftime, with just 58 points on the board, highlighting Furman's ability to effectively contain the Bulldogs. Furman's defensive strategy proved…[Click here to get the Full write up on this bet]...

NCAAB: Gonzaga University @ Washington St. - 8:30pm ET

Against the spread - 👈  Click to get more info on tonights match up

Washington St. +12.5

Analysis:

This matchup marks the most significant home game for Washington State in the history of the West Coast Conference (WCC), though it's worth noting that this is the Cougars' inaugural season in the league. Despite struggling with only two wins in their last eight games, both victories have come on their home court, which could provide them with a much-needed confidence boost. Notably, Washington State came close to upsetting first-place Saint Mary's in Pullman and secured a win against third-place San Francisco, showcasing their potential to compete with top-tier teams. In their earlier encounter with Gonzaga on January 11, Washington State lost by 13 points, but it was a tightly contested game at halftime, with only a three-point deficit. This could indicate that the Cougars are capable of hanging tough with strong opponents. Additionally, Gonzaga, currently sitting in second place, may be tempted to overlook this game as they prepare for a crucial showdown against Saint Mary's on Saturday, potentially giving Washington State an unexpected advantage. Overall…[Click here to get the Full write up on this bet]...

NCAAB: Alabama @ Missouri - 9:00pm ET

Over/Under - 👈  Click to get more info on tonights match up

Under 170

Analysis:

Alabama is currently the top offensive team in the nation, averaging 90.3 points per game, while Missouri is no slouch either, with an average of 82.6 points. However, predicting a combined total of 172 points for their matchup seems excessive, particularly since both could reach the 80s and still allow for a winning score of 86-85, as models estimate around 167 total points for the game. Complicating matters for Alabama is the potential absence of two key rotation players, coupled with their recent loss in a high-profile game against No. 1 Auburn, which could leave them feeling offensively flat. Additionally, it's notable that no SEC team has scored over 76 points in Columbia this season, suggesting Missouri's defense might effectively limit Alabama's scoring. With a winter storm warning in effect, although the game will still take place, this could impact both teams' performance further. Given these…[Click here to get the Full write up on this bet]...
