This should be a fun tournament to follow. Interesting lines.
Initial thoughts on UW/Utah for me is taking the points. Utah is a different team away from SLC, and UW to me has the wildcard that can win the game by himself in Wilcox. Romar knows how to rally his team as a dog in the pac tourney. I trust that he will keep this one close throughout and possibly win SU. UW +5.5
The 'SC/CU line is very interesting to me. At first glance, you can't help but want to take CU to destroy a team that won 2 games in the league. But consider this: CU would be playing Cal with a win, a team they just lost to in OT this past Saturday. Sounds like a lookahead scenario to me. Obviously they can't afford to lose this game in terms of making the tournament, but how can you not help but look past a team you've already beaten twice, both teams by 9+? The line seems fishy to me, give me 'SC to somehow cover this number. USC +8.5
Now this is an interesting number in the Civil War matchup. Both teams coming off emotional senior day home victories, especially UO. To me, UO has to be breathing a sigh of relief because that win essentially locks a bid up. Does this play against them in Vegas? OSU obviously fighting for their postseason lives. I'll take the points in a neutral court rivalry game. It just seems like the safer play to me. Beavs +6.5
And now onto the lone favorite i'll be playing in Stanford. Cougs coming off an out of nowhere blowout win over UCLA on senior day, that had to have seemed like their own super bowl. Stanford is the team to watch in this tournament IMO, they have the easiest road to the title game outside of Arizona IMO in WSU-ASU-UCLA. Cardinal -10.5
Thoughts on the games tomorrow?
