-2.34

2* ASU/UA UNDER 128

This is the last time I'm trusting Arizona's defense in an under play. At home and against a rival, I expect the Cats to be able to keep ASU's role players at bay. Even if Harden and/or Pendegraph have good nights, the Devils still will have a hard time getting to 70. I always love playing unders with Sendek's solid zone defense, and this will limit Jordan Hill's presence inside. I always like playing unders in rivalry games because of the defensive intensity that both teams bring more times than not, and I especially like it tonight since the Wildcats are the underdogs and they know it. UA really needs this win if they want ANY chance of getting an NCAA bid come March. Also expecting a little bit of a letdown after the big win in LA for the Devils.

Good luck, I know I'll need it this week after last weeks debacle.

If I don't hit this with 12 points after 7 minutes I'm going to take a break.

Addict, what do you think of tomorrow's game. UCLA -5 over Washington State? This line sticks out to me. I know Washington State has won 3 in a row, but I really like UCLA in this one.

I'm going either UCLA or under 114. Cougs have ALWAYS struggled to score on UCLA, even in the Weaver/Low years. Cougs will struggle to be open and Bennett ball will be in full effect I think. I'd honestly be shocked if we broke 50 against UCLA. The only way we do is if someone off the bench like Harmeling or Forrest put up DD's. UCLA is ridiculously more athletic than us, but we won't allow to many fast break buckets because we only send 1 to the offensive glass after outside shots.

I thought UCLA would be at least -7, so the red flag in my head kind of went up when I only say 5. I like the under a little more right now, but I wouldn't fault you at all for taking UCLA here. The Cougs really need this one if they are going to make a push for the tournament. Good luck in whatever you decide bro.

What do you think about USC getting 6 @ Washington. They seem to do well as a road dog recently.

I played UW as a 7 point favorite over Stanford and a 5 point favorite over Cal, and neither was really that close in hitting when there was a minute left in the game. It will be an electric night with Brandon Roy getting his #3 retired at Hec Ed, but UW isn't the strong home team we are used to seeing them as. UW is improving no doubt and will finish in the top 4 of the conference, but they aren't putting legit teams at home so I'm leaning heavily towards USC because they can run and gun with UW if need be but will no doubt be playing at a slower pace than UW wants to play at, hence the total being at a low 133. UW totals are almost always 140+ unless they are playing OSU, WSU and the LA schools. Like USC in this spot no doubt man.
