Thursday's Selections

NOTE:
And the overall run is now at 13-4 with paid and comp plays including 5 straight on the free side.

My hoops opinion is right where it needs to be right now.

Over my last 17 selections paid and comp play 14 have been rock solid while only 3 have been what you could consider a blatant wrong side of the game.

When you are consistently getting on more right side than wrong, it means your opinion is there.

I will let a 13-4 paid and comp play show you my hoops opinion is right where it needs to be.

Now time to build on the 13-4 run with this juicy Thursday night card.

15 DIME - ARIZONA WILDCATS

Great spot to jump on the home team here.

Off back-to-back road losses at Washington and Washington State, they are back home to face a Ducks squad they drilled 74-60 in Eugene back on January 16th as a 5 point dog.

All told, the Wildcats are on a 3-1 SU and ATS at home in Pac-10 play.

After dropping their home opener in conference to Washington State by 2 as a 2 point favorite, they drilled the best team in the conference Washington by 17 as a 5 point home dog.

Then Northern California came calling and both went home unhappy as they took care of Stanford by 8 as a 6-point favorite and an upset of Cal by 4 as a 2-point home dog.

Overall they are 7-3 ATS their last 10, and now face a struggling Oregon team that just can't get out of their own way.

After two solid home wins against Ucla 71-66 in OT laying 4 and USC by 10 catching 2 they went into rival Oregon State catching 1 1/2 and were buried 62-42.

Their last road trip prior to that was at Cal where they lost by 32 as an 11 point dog 89-57 and at Stanford 84-69 as a 4 1/2 point dog.

They are a horrific 7-12 ATS on the year highlighted by a 2-5 SU and ATS on the highway with all 5 losses by 8 points or more.

I am confident this one wil be by at least by double digits.

15 dime - ARIZONA

5 DIME - UTAH STATE AGGIES

The best team in the WAC takes on the 2nd worst, and the way the Aggies are taking care of business, I will gladly lay this number tonight.

Not only is Utah State on a run of 8 in a row both SU and ATS but 7 of the 8 wins have been by double digits.

Beat Hawaii at home by 44 laying 17 1/2 followed by another home win over this same Boise State team by 22 laying 13 1/2.

They go on the road at Fresno and Idaho and win by 26 points and 12 as 2 1/2 and 6 point favorites respectively.

Then they come back home and take care of San Jose State by 19 laying 17 1/2, Idaho by 18 laying 14 1/2 and Nevada by 11 as a 9 point favorite.

The only single digit game in this run was the 7 point win at Nevada in OT as a 2 1/2 point favorite.

Boise State is a horrendous 2-7 ATS at home this year and has only covered 3 of their last 10 games overall.

I fully expect Utah State to continue to pay out like a slot machine and pick up another double digit win.

5 dime - UTAH STATE

Today's Pick: CALIFORNIA
CBB
Washington vs. California
9:00 EST

Cal was ranked 13 by the AP (12 by the coaches) in the preseason poll with Washington getting ranked 14th and 13th. However, as I've talked about for weeks in my CBB Notes, the 2009-10 season may turn out to be "A Year NOT to Remember" for the Pac 10. There is a very real possibility that this long-established basketball "power conference" may place just one school in this year's NCAA field for the first time since 1978, when just 32 teams were invited. Cal enters this game 15-8 (7-4), giving the Bears a one-game lead in the Pac 10 over the Huskies (16-7 / 6-5) and four other schools (Arizona, ASU, UCLA and USC). While both teams have struggled, I have to believe that Cal has the better chance to get this season turned around. Randle (19.1-4.7) and Christopher (16.3-5.)) give them the best guard duo in the league (both are seniors) plus the 6-6 Robertson (14.2-4.5) and the 6-8 Boykin (11.0-6.2) are both fifth-year seniors (experience has to count for something down the stretch). Speaking of seniors, Washington's 6-6 Pondexter has had a "breakout" senior season, averaging 20.6 PPG and 8.3 RPG (had averaged 10.9-4.9 his 1st three years). However, the 6-9 Bryan-Amaning was also expected to have a big year, but he's been a major disappointment, averaging just 7.2-5.1. Thomas (17.1-4.3-2.7) is proving his freshman season was no fluke at one guard spot, while junior Overton (8.8-2.8-3.5) makes for a solid partner on the perimeter (but not as good as Cal's duo). Cal lost 84-69 up in Seattle back on Jan 16, shooting an awful 33.3 percent as team (including 5-of-19 on threes) with only Christopher playing well with 28 points (other four starters combined for 20 points). With revenge and some 'home whistles' on their side this time around (plus Montgomery over Romar on the sidelines is a total mismatch!), expect the Bears to open a two-game lead in the Pac 10 over their chief rival. Take Cal.

Does everybody realize that Root is just 46-45 for his last 91 total plays, and just 30-34 for his last 64 top 3 plays. His perfect plays are 5-1 though over this stretch. I recommend proceeding with extreme caution if betting on Root's plays, except for his perfect plays which appear to be the real deal.
