1-star (844) COLORADO -1 over Arizona St. 10:30pm ET.
We're fading Arizona St off their big win over Washington last
Saturday. In that game, Arizona St shot
a season-high 61.7% from the floor. That was coming against a Huskies
team that boasts the best defense in the Pac-12 and hadn't allowed a
team to top 48% shooting against them all season. The Sun Devils'
2nd-best shooting performance this season came against
Colorado when the Sun Devils hit 57.1% from the floor in their 22-point
win at home on January 5th. That game was a major outlier for the Buffs
as Colorado shot a season worst 32.8% (23 games) from the field and
that 57.1% allowed was also a season-worst for
them. I'll call for a hot Colorado team (3 straight wins and covers) to
take advantage of an Arizona St team playing their first road game
since January 26th.
Lean
(785) South Carolina +15.5 over TENNESSEE. 6:30pm ET. I circled this
game as a possible top play of the week. However, the line is a bit
shorter than what I expected and yesterday's result that saw LSU upset
Kentucky could have Tennessee more focused than
what I originally thought. Keep in mind, the Vols are at Kentucky on
Saturday in the biggest SEC game of year so far. Will they want to get
margin in second half? I don't think so.
