Jack's Free Pick Thursday: Murray State -4
I am backing Murray State Thursday as a small home favorite over Morehead State. These are two pretty evenly matched teams, but with home-court advantage my money is on the Racers to race to victory tonight. Morehead State enters at 21-8 (7-7 road) while Murray State is 21-7 (11-2 home). So the Racers have only lost twice all season at home, and they have been blowing out opponents with consistency. Murray State is scoring 71.6 PPG while allowing 56.2 PPG at home, winning by an average of 15.4 PPG.
This is also a revenge game for the Racers, having lost at Morehead State 65-75 back on 12/4/2010 in their first meeting of the season. It was a rare loss in this series for them, as Murray State is 24-7 in all meetings since 1997 including 11-2 in home meetings during that time. The Racers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5. The home team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. Murray State is 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9 home meetings with Morehead State.
Roll with Murray State Thursday.

4* OREGON over CALIFORNIA
Both of these teams are finding an excellent offensive identity as young rosters get developed by a pair of savvy coaches. It is a much different story on the defensive end. So after seeing a brisk 162 generated in Cal’s earlier 85-77 win in the first go-round between these two, we may see an even faster pace, and better offensive execution, tonight.
Cal has a nice offensive chemistry, particularly with Jorge Gutierrez becoming much more than a distributor at PG – he is averaging 22.2 ppg through six games in February. And now that Allen Crabbe is healthy again there is tremendous balance, with four different Bears averaging 12.6 ppg or more in Pac 10 play. They are shooting a crisp 46.8 percent from the field, including 38.1 from 3-point range, and have an excellent ratio of 233 assists vs. only 180 TO’s. But they can’t guard. There is neither the size nor depth for Mike Montgomery to build much on that end of the court, and the allowances in conference play are dismal across the board – 78.5 ppg, 46.3 shooting, 39.9 triples, and 215 A’s vs. 181 TO’s. As a team that lacks depth wears down even more on the defensive end of the court (the starters played 207 of 225 floor minutes in that O.T. win over U.C.L.A. on Sunday), those numbers will not get better.
Meanwhile Oregon is adapting well to Dana Altman’s pressing and trapping schemes, with the Ducks relishing the chance to get out and run. In a current 7-3 roll note that they had the lead in the second half in two of the three defeats, and as they continue to grow in confidence it brings more energy into play. In their last two home games they got into the 80’s in beating Oregon State and Washington, and with Jovan Catron back to full health, and Jay Strowbridge becoming an offense force since he began playing without that mask that really limited his game (26 points off the bench vs. Oregon State on Saturday), they can score both inside and out. Their “floor game” has developed to where they lead the conference by a wide margin in assist to TO ratio, and they also lead the conference in FT shooting, an ideal factor to have in our favor for the favorite when playing an Over. In a game that should be close late, we have the potential for scramble points from both sides, although it is likely that we will not even need them.
