5 games on the slate on Wednesday night. And a lot of games featuring those wanting to play spoiler roles against teams at the top of the WAC. All lines are from Draftkings Sportsbook.  Chicago State at SFA -19 O/U 138 5:30 pm MT on ESPN+ Jacks won the first contest on Feb. 10 81-61 at the Jones Convocation Center. SFA is on a 4-game winning streak where they have been red hot from the field, averaging 80+ points in the four games. Only one of the four wins has been within single digits and that was a road win at CBU. Chicago State has been fading lately. The Cougars have lost six straight and four of those losses were by double figures. SFA has been really good at home as the Jacks are 5-1 in league play at Johnson Coliseum. Arguably the hottest team in basketball right now has had a week off to prepare for this contest.  The Bet: SFA -19, U138 Utah Valley -1.5 at Tarleton O/U 126.5 6 p.m. MT ESPN+ Utah Valley won the first matchup on opening weekend of WAC play by 22. The Texans were short-handed and coming off a big win over Dixie State two nights earlier. Tarleton will have its full roster on Saturday as Tahj Small didn't play in the first meeting. The Texans love to turn teams over and Utah Valley is a team prone to turning it over. The big question is how will the Texans match up against Utah Valley's size? The other question is how will Utah Valley respond after coming off a big win over New Mexico State on Saturday at home? This really feels like a game that could go either way. I am going to stay away from the line for that reason. I think there is going to be a lot of transition buckets in this contest.  The Bet: O126.5 Seattle U -6.5 at UTRGV O/U 151.5 6 p.m. MT ESPN+ How will Seattle handle being on top once again in a road game? When the Redhawks were all alone atop the WAC standings, they went on the road and lost a pair of games at GCU and at New Mexico State. And now they get to face a scrappy UTRGV squad that likes to get up and down the floor. The bigger question is can the big 3 from Seattle in Riley Grigsby, Darrion Trammell and Cameron Tyson shoot better than they did this past weekend in a pair of home wins? UTRGV likes to attack and take people off the dribble. They also like to get out in transition and use a smaller lineup. A long trip on a short week to South Texas is a tough one. And it could be a trap game for Seattle. There are a lot of things are playing against Seattle on Wednesday night.  The Bet: UTRGV +6.5, ML Dixie State at New Mexico State -16 O/U 144 7 p.m. MT ESPN+ Yes, Dixie State hung with New Mexico State last Thursday in St. George. And Yes, Dixie State beat GCU on Saturday night at Burns Arena. But, the Aggies don't lose in back-to-back games under Chris Jans very often. The last time the Aggies lost a game, they returned the favor with a 14-point win at SFA. However, the largest margin of victory for the Aggies in WAC play was 17 over Chicago State on opening weekend. And NMSU has to go to GCU on Saturday so this could be somewhat of a trap game at home. The Aggies will win but Dixie State will cover. The Bet: Dixie State +16 GCU -4 at CBU 8 p.m. MT O/U 135.5 8 p.m. MT ESPN The Seattle/UTRGV game has some intrigue to it. But this might be the game of the night. The Lopes are coming off a 61-60 road loss at Dixie State on Saturday. CBU did exactly what it should have done against Lamar and UTRGV and got back to the old school Lancers by throwing up a lot of 3-pointers. Tre Armstrong knocked down 10 combined 3-pointers in the two wins for the Lancers. The matchup is there as these are two guard-heavy teams. The first meeting was an ugly offensive showing for both teams that GCU was able to win 56-50 at GCU Arena on Feb. 5. I love Jovan Blacksher Jr. and Holland Woods and when they are on, they are really good. But it seems like it is a struggle for GCU on the road. And the CBU Events Center will be rocking on Wednesday night. This is another one of those games that is a trap game.  The Bet: CBU +4, ML Another big night of WAC Hoops with a lot on the line as we continue to move toward WAC Vegas. Road trips are not easy in this league. But it will be a very entertaining Wacky Wednesday. Enjoy the games and good luck in your betting choices. 

At the CBU Events Center on Wednesday night, it was shades of the Duke-Maryland game from 2001. Do you remember that? 10 points in 54 seconds for Jay Williams to lead the Blue Devils to the win. On January 12, 2022, it was almost repeated. The only difference is that Dixie State scored 11 points in a little over a minute to earn a 79-76 win over CBU. The Lancers held a 76-68 lead with 1:26 to play.  And then all the craziness broke loose. Dixie State forced four CBU turnovers in the final minute and used an 11-0 run to pull off the thrilling win. Shades of Jay Williams.  Isaiah Pope had five of the 11 points in the run. The and-1 conversion with nine seconds to play by Pope was the dagger.  Cam Gooden finished with a game-high 26 points in the win. Dan Akin led CBU with 23 points. The Lancers were short-handed on Wednesday night. Taran Armstrong and Te'Jon Sawyer were both out with a non-COVID illness and Malik Wade is battling a knee injury.  Dixie State avoided starting WAC play 0-4 with the win. CBU drops to 0-2 in WAC play. In the other game of the night, the Big 3 for Seattle saved the day. Utah Valley led 54-44 with just over six minutes to play. But, from that point on, scored just 11 points. And Seattle took advantage led by Riley Grigsby, Darrion Trammell and Cameron Tyson.  Grigsby hit a 3-pointer out of a timeout with just over a minute to play to give the Redhawks a 62-60 lead. After Connor Harding hit one of two free throws for Utah Valley, Tyson hit the dagger with a three from the wing to make it 65-61. And Seattle hit free throws down the stretch to seal the statement win. Seattle was 0-7 from deep in the first half. And then exploded to hit 10 3-pointers in the second half. Cameron Tyson finished with 25 points, 21 of those were in the second half. Trammell finished with 20 points and eight rebounds. And Grigsby finished with 13 points.  "I don't know if we win this game a month ago," said Interim Head Coach Chris Victor. "But tonight we showed how much we've grown as a group. Towards the end of the first half we started getting frustrated, taking bad shots and forcing it. At halftime we told the guys, 'you've put in the work, you're great players and great shooters, you're going to start making them.'" Fardaws Aimaq finished with 16 points and nine rebounds for Utah Valley. The Wolverines were without starter Tim Fuller who was dealing with a non-COVID illness.  Just a fun, fun night of WAC Hoops on Wednesday and it only gets better. 

There are two games on Wednesday night. Utah Valley travels to the Emerald City to take on Seattle U at Climate Pledge Arena. And California Baptist plays host to Dixie State.  The Redhawks have flown under the radar a bit. But don't let that fool you. Seattle returns All-WAC performers Riley Grigsby and Darrion Trammell. And Seattle added Cameron Tyson to form the 'Big 3' per se. Along with these three, Seattle U has some size they can throw at Utah Valley big man Fardaws Aimaq. Brandton Chatfield came over from Washington State and Kobe Williamson is also back for the Redhawks.  However, I am leaning Utah Valley +1.5 in this contest. Fardaws Aimaq has proven that no matter who you throw at him, he is going to get his numbers. A lot of that is because the Wolverines are shooting much better from the perimeter and have multiple role players who can knock down shots.  I am also leaning the over of 141 because both teams shoot at a high clip. It should be a fun one on ESPN+ at 8 p.m. MT.  The second game of the night features a pair of teams winless in WAC play thus far. California Baptist is coming off a bad loss at Chicago State. Dixie State is coming off a rivalry loss at Utah Valley. So, something has to give. The Lancers will most likely be without star freshman guard Taran Armstrong who is still battling an illness. And Dixie State lacks some depth in the paint. I still am going to lean Dixie State and the points. The Trailblazers can score especially when they take care of the basketball. And it's not like Lancers force a ton of turnovers. And I am going to lean on the under of 151. Both teams are on a short week and are familiar with one another so I don't know that this will turn into a track meet. 

It is episode three of the daily podcasts. It is the start of having two podcast episodes a day leading up to games starting on Thursday. The conference opener for both Seattle and Tarleton takes place on Thursday. The Redhawks host preseason favorite New Mexico State. And Tarleton travels to St. George to take on Dixie State. Play-by-play voice of the Redhawks Russell Brown joined the episode. Brown discusses the Big Three in the Seattle lineup. Riley Grigsby, Darrion Trammell and Cameron Tyson can all light up the scoreboard. But, what is most impressive is the Redhawks have won nine games thus far and its usually been two of the three putting up big numbers. We have yet to see all three in the same game put up monster numbers. That is scary. Brown also talks about the experience and leadership especially considering former head coach Jim Hayford had to resign two days before the season started. Chris Victor was named the interim head coach and has led Seattle to one of its best starts in program history. The Redhawks have a little more size but have the versatility to put multiple different lineups on the floor. And they open against the King of the Hill so there is a lot of motivation going into the WAC opener.  Is Tarleton for Real? Texans play-by-play voice Casey Hogan stopped by to talk about this simple fact. We talk about what makes Freddy Hicks so tough despite being outsized on most nights. The Texans know how to defend and teams rarely have a time when there aren't two or three hands creating a lot of chaos on the defensive end.  Billy Gillispie is a hard-nosed coach and that is what he gets out of his players. Tarleton has a 6-7 man rotation and that probably won't change. Gillispie trusts these players who have earned that right. Shamir Bogues is one of the nation's leaders in steals with 29 total. Montre Gipson plays like a giant despite being one of the smallest players on the floor. And Texan players love playing for Gillispie according to Hogan.  Opening WAC play at Dixie State presents its challenges. However, after playing the toughest schedule in the nation in November, the Texans have the confidence to compete with anyone.  Be sure to subscribe to the podcast on podbean.com or the Podbean app. We are also on Apple podcasts, Google podcasts and Spotify.
