Notre Dame at Providence 12:00 ET
Friars + over Fighting Irish- Notre Dame is living on borrowed time of late going five overtimes to defeat Louisville who had an eight point lead with 51 seconds remaining and then the went overtime their next time out to beat lowly DePaul. After such heroics its hard to understand why No. 21 Notre Dame is only a 1 ½ point favorite over a run of the mill Big East club. A team they have defeated nine straight times. While the Irish have played seven over time periods this month Providence has only played three games in February. Notre Dame is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games and Providence with free legs and effort get the win here. Take the FRIARS!
