LOCKS:
TAKE NORTHERN COLORADO BEARS PK vs Montana St Bobcats. This game is being played in the Worthington Arena on the Campus of the Montana State Bobcats and is scheduled to begin at 9:00 P.M EST.
EVALUATION: The Montana State Bobcats come into this game with a 2-3 SU record, and have only been able to beat San Francisco and Colorado Christian, two schools who are really not top caliber this year. They are averaging about 65.4 points a game while allowing their opponents over 70 points. Out of their five games, four have been rated and they are 1-3 ATS. The Bobcats were blown out in their last game out last Saturday at the Oregon Ducks 66-89, and they are only scoring 65 points a game at home. The BEARS on the other hand come in with a perfect 7-0 mark and have been averaging 75.86 points a game. They have an avg. margin of difference of 14 and their numbers equal up to the Bobcats in turnovers and assists. They are road tested so far, winning all 4 games and have averaged 73.5 points on the road. Their 3-1 ATS record looks solid, and they are shooting a really good 48.6% per game average. This is a Big Sky conference game for the 2 teams, where N. Colorado won both contests last year by 10 on the road, and by 27 at home. Looks like early season predictions are not living up to its salt. Montana St was expected to finish at the top of the conference and Northern Colorado was expected to be at the bottom.
PROJECTION: NORTHERN COLORADO 71 MONTANA ST. 64
TAKE COLORADO BUFFALOES +2.5 vs Oregon St. Beavers. This game is being played at Gill Coliseum on the campus of the Oregon St. Beavers, and is scheduled to start at 11:00 P.M. EST.
EVALUATION: Oregon St was expected to be a middle of the Pack team in the PAC-10, but their 2-3 SU record looks like they will be more near the bottom than the middle. They have dropped 2 of their 3 home games and have only been putting up about 62 points a game. What we really don’t like the Beavers are not very good at protecting the ball and have been averaging 19.2 turnovers a game, and only have about 4 3-pointers a game. The Colorado Buffaloes come in with a 5-2 SU mark, and those two losses came to Arizona 87-91 in OT at the Maui Invitational, and Gonzaga 72-76 in the same tournament. They are scoring an average of 81.14 points a game and have an average win difference of 11.71 points a game. Their 77.3 points a game on the road is a respectable number and we look for the BUFFS to beat up on the Beavers tonight
