10* Washington St / Oregon 133
For a number of different reasons I believe the value in this contest is on the "under"
Washington State closed out its season on a poor note, losing nine of its last 11 matchups. The poor play down the stretch left the Cougars with a mere 6-12 mark in conference action, which was only good enough for the ninth seed.
Keep in mind that the total has gone "under" the number in four of Washington States last five overall; also in 10 of 18 vs. conference opponents.
The Cougars have also seen the total go "under" the number in both games they played this year after three or more consecutive losses; which of course means that after an extended period of poor play, Washington State picks up its play on the defensive end.
On the other side of the court: The Ducks only finished 7-11 in Pac-10 play this season, but the team did close out its regular season with three wins in its last four games.
Oregon has endured some struggles offensively this season, but for the most part the team has been mediocre, averaging 69.4 ppg, behind a solid 42.9 % shooting effort. However, the team has struggled from behind the arc, netting just 33.3 % of its three-point chances.
Oregon doesn't play to many "unders", but it has seen the total dip below the posted number in five of nine when playing against a team with a winning record after 15 or more games played.
Bottom line: These teams closed out the regular season against each other and the matchup went to the Ducks. Oregon won both meetings this season, pushing its lead in the all-time series against Washington State to 156-122.
Neither team is explosive and I expect each to create offense through its defines; when taking all of the above into account, the sharp money in this one is indeed on the UNDER!

Detroit +6.5
It's tough to say this after watching Utah dismantle the Bulls last night in Chicago, 132-108 as five-point chalk, but we don't like laying this many points with the Jazz on the road. Note that they are being asked to lay "a few more" points tonight and will be in the second night of back to backs. Also, prior to last night, the previous team Utah found itself as a road favorite was March 1st against the Clippers and they lost outright 108-104. The time before that they lost outright at Sacramento. So, that's two straight outright losses to teams well below the .500 mark on the road. Detroit has finally gotten healthy and hasn't played since Sunday when they upset the Rockets at home, 110-107 in OT. Let's not forget that they actually led Cleveland by as many as 21 points the game before that. So despite what the record shows, the Pistons are playing much better than you think. When these teams met in Utah back in November, the Jazz won by just three points. Detroit is our 20* Non-Conference Dog of the Month.

Notre Dame -1.5
This is not because I am pissed SH blew a 29 point lead and beat me last night, it is because they played a grueling game, fouling out 2 starters, allowed over 100 point and scored a 100+ points. They are fatigued against a team with a road OT win over Marquette on Saturday and are DESPERATE for a win with an NCAA Tourney berth on the line here. Motivated and fired up against a team who played late in the evening who cannot make free throws when they count. Lay the short number. Play 1.5 Units Notre Dame.
Oregon -1
I like the Ducks in this play in game against bottom feeder Washington State. They have had a late season surge and an inperiled coach whom I think the players are playing hard for. While the Ducks finished strong, the Cougs finshed badly and only covered 3 out of 11 games down the stretch. I like the offense of Oregon better here and the guard play. Play 1 Unit on Oregon
