Tonight the CU Buffs take a short trip from Eugene to Corvallis where they take on a beatable Beavers team. The Buffs are coming off of a blowout loss to a very solid Ducks team and the Beavers are coming off a crazy 71-69 victory against the Utes.
Nearly a month ago, the Buffaloes beat the Beavers 71-54 in Boulder. The Buffs led by 4 points at half but dominated the Beavers in the 2nd half. Gary Payton II was the only player to show up for the Beavers (much like the majority of their games) while the Buffs had 3 players with double digit points. The Buffs commanded the boards and had 11 blocks on defense. With it being a home game for the Beavers I think it will be a close for the majority of the game, but the Buffs win it. The Buffs are 4-1 coming off a loss and 2-0 coming off a loss by 10 or more points.
The Buffs are HUNGRY for a Top 25 bid and a win over the Beavers will help their push. I'm taking the Buffs ML +135 but (+3) is also a very good play. Good luck if you decide to play along with me! ROLL TAD!
