Long time no post... lets do this shit! Like always I will give reasonings for every pick. Firm believer in that. Also, like always all bets are for 1 unit and 1 unit = $100 (except teasers.. they will be for $120 to win $100)
California +2 - Cal better defensive team all around except maybe rebounding. Have potentially the best player on the court in Rabb who I expect to show up tonight after making the statement after the UCLA game that he now knows he must push himself every game and force his teammates to follow. USC has played well but not the strongest schedule in the world and I expect them to slowly regress to the mean a little. Line opened at USC -3 and 75% on them and it has fallen to -1.5 in some places.
3 team 8 pt teaser
Wichita St -2
Virginia -4 ( i took it at -3.5 but not sure if that is available now)
UCLA -13
Wichita and NI are on opposite ends of the spectrum on almost every statistical category. NI struggling bad this year and I do not expect a team that is 335th in scoring and 270th and above in both offensive rebounding and defensive rebounding to be able to hang with Wichita St who is 7th in the country in defensive shooting % and inside the top 20 in offensive and defensive rebounding. Limited second chance scoring for NI in this game should make it really difficult. Shockers give NI the 2 in pink and 1 in stink.
Virginia just lost two games in a row and are coming off the highest total they have allowed in years! I'm guessing that is not sitting well with these players and coaches inside the locker room since they are known around the country for their tremendous defense. Im expecting a big bounce back and a statement from the Cavaliers at home to stay on track in a conference that is loaded this year. They must show up cause if they slip they may never get back to the top in the ACC this year. WF is high scoring but I'm going with the defense to show up in this game. Plus WF worst category on defense is fg% and 3pt % and that is where UV is strongest on offense.
UCLA hasn't beaten anyone by 15+ in a while after doing it almost double digit times in the first dozen games. I think they get back to that tonight. Stanford's leading scorer and leading rebounded Reid Travis is still listed as out indefinitely after a shoulder injury last week and not to mention Stanford is 277th in the country for 3 point defense going up against the 4th best 3 point shooting team in the country at home. Stanford shouldn't have the fire power to hang around in this one. Time for a big game and UCLA to get back on the steam rolling machine before conference really gets rolling.
Like usual BOL to all and have a great day gentleman!
