Quickly, just outta time for much detail
AZ survived Poor FT Shooting & hung on for fortunate win at Cal
AZ had to eventually WIN a Close game;
Cats' 0 Close Wins in 5 CONF GMS (5 Pts or closer)
Till Thu Win at Cal

AZ depth & growing Size Disadvantage
Might be a Larger Factor vs Stanford

BOTH fatigue & emotional WIN in Berkeley
While Stanford cruised to easy win
AZ scratched & clawed

REVENGE
AZ has beaten STAN 5x Row
Cardinal reportedly pointing to this one ALL SEASON

AZ #1 in Conf in fewest 3's Allowed
Will be really challenged w/SIZE & DEPTH issues
They now face w/Out length they had w/Parrom &
Lacking depth of  AZ O-Reb
(Cats'calling Card, creating such a Great 3-Pt% Diff)

AZ Offensive-Rebound's/Gm
Dropping from 18, to 10/10/8/7 Per Gm
Another Az 'Big Guard specialty'

Good Spot for Cardinal

STANFORD -3 (Bet Online)

[5] BENCH
OSU 6-9 | 226 Sr McShane

Utah is continuing onward w/o Jiggy
Playing out string as one of worst statistical teams in D-I

Nevertheless, the addition by subtraction
Short Rotation of UU's 2011-2012 Squad
Has a few Home Gms left to salvage

Spirited play & UU lacking Offensive-Punch
Yet, UTES clearly can play DEFENSE

Oregon State vs. UTAH on Neutral Site?
Beavers could (talent-wise) win by 40 Points ½ the time

Yet, OSU has had REAL
Issues w/the-endless Defensive changes & scheme changes

OSU "thinking" on Defense
Playing the 1-3-1 on/off.  Ect
Leaves OSU opponents like CU (Thu)
SHOOTING 10% HIGHER w/Beavers on Road (Avg)

OSU should get this WIN
Esp w/Guard Advantages

YET, OSU so thoroughly beaten by Roberson & CU
CU ROBERSON: 15 REB
OSU 3 STARTING BIGS (Brandt/Collier/Burton) 8 REB
UU Washburn & Farr should be able to operate on Block
ENOUGH to keep Gm Close

1 UNIT
UTAH +13
OREGON STATE

UCLA choked away
THE Opportunity that comes along once a season,
A Gm & Venue that may have catapulted Bruins
Up into a position to make a genuine BUBBLE-RUN

The Golden Egg;
ROAD WIN in FEBRUARY in SEATTLE
w/ESPN Audience Watching?
Could have propelled UCLA 8-10 RPI Spots
Woulda-Shoulda-Coulda….

Losing this once-in-a-season shot
Is more devastating for Bruins than it may appear

The way UCLA had Gm seemingly wrapped up
UP 10 VERY LATE, ect

This truly should have legs…
UCLA UW/WZU Weekend was touted as
'OUR-LAST-STAND' By the UCLA HC 'Howl'

We are hearing that HC Ben Howland has Proclaimed
Intent, at least quietly, To run w/a little deeper Rotation
& 'Get Joshua into Game-Shape or, 'make him die trying'
Joshua Smith
Will SURELY have a Whole-Lot More on his hands
w/WAZZU's Surging Postman, MOTUM

WAZZU readies itself for UCLA like no other
The Cougs were in command Thursday Night vs. Nothing-to-Lose SC,
Yet Wzu was clearly in look-ahead Mode

COUGS are beginning to suffer from 'Star-Watch' &
Like so many in this Conf
Are HURTING in Guard Depth after PAC-12 Player-of-the-Week, Aden
Went down w/Season-ending Injury Last Week in Tucson
WZU is very good at Home

Like Cougars as small Home Dog

UCLA
WASHINGTON STATE +3 (Sports Interaction)

OSU Cunningham to ZERO MADE FT's Thu &
OSU Starks (#3 Conf Scorer) to 1-8 FG Thu

I just really like Buffs at ONLY -3
vs. Finesse Oregon Team

Looking at a number of Games outside the PAC-12
We'll drop in all the plays we can

All the best, guys

Great stuff as always Steve. BOL to you today

GL Steve. Always appreciate the write ups

Appreciate the thoughts, Steven. It's a PAC-12 Bonanza!

BOL MR. STEVE & GET MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!

Colorado -6 right?

Good grief... Thanking our Stars we Grabbed COUGS +3.5 (couldn't find it @ +4) ADDING LATE PLAY: 1/2 UNIT TEASER | 4 POINT TEASER (Bodog) SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WASHINGTON -8 To SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WASHINGTON | OVER 120 So Cal increasing 3 Point shooting dramatically w/youth movement, & Loss of Dedmond also makes SC up-tempo game / wide open game so likely, & lower than ever effectiveness on Road for SC team NOW w/o FIVE SCHOLLIE PLAYERS. Wash should have little problem w/ SC yet occasionally suffers from lack of interest in such spots.
