Martin’s Tuesday NCAA Hoops Free Play:
1 Unit on N. Colorado +7
Northern Colorado is a sexy free pick tonight against in-state rival Colorado State. N. Colorado fought hard in a 64-66 setback at Oregon to get their season under way. They were a 17.5-point dog in that match-up, and nearly pulled off the upset against a Pac-10 foe. Northern Colorado beat Colorado State last season 72-59 despite being an underdog. Head coach Tad Boyle has welcomed back 4 starters this season from a team that went 13-16 last season, but 16-10 ATS. After losing to Oregon by just 2 points on the road, this team has shown they are capable of finishing better than .500 this season in Boyle’s third year at the helm of the program. Colorado State was terrible last season, going 7-25 on the year. This is Tim Miles’ second year at the helm, but this is also still a rebuilding year for the Rams. Northern Colorado is 10-1 ATS in non-conference games over the last 2 seasons. Northern Colorado is a perfect 6-0 ATS in road games off a road loss over the last 2 seasons. Cash in with Northern Colorado as the underdog.

1* on Sacramento State +8.5
Sacramento State is catching too many points to pass up tonight. They face UC-Riverside, who went 9-21 on the season last year and they don’t appear to have improved much at all this season. That showed when they lost by 27 points to New Mexico State in their season opener. Sacramento State played tough in their opener, a 12-point road loss against Fresno State. They forced the Bulldogs into 18 turnovers. These are two sub-par teams squaring off, and we’ll take the points every time in this situation, especially after UC-Riverside got manhandled by New Mexico State. Riverside is 7-20 ATS (-15.0 Units) in home games off a road loss since 1997. Riverside is also 10-26 ATS (-18.6 Units) in home games after playing a road game since 1997. Take Sacramento State and the points.
Good Luck Tonight!
