STRIKE POINT SPORTS (CBB)
3-Unit Play. #557 Take California (+7.5) over Arizona State (2:30 p.m., Saturday, March 7) Cal was utterly embarrassed at home to ASu in the first meeting, but at this point in the season its the Golden Bears who are playing the better basketball. There is definitely some value with the points here, as I think it could be Cal who can walk away with the outright win. Take the number and the live underdog in this one.
3-Unit Play. #589 Take Western Kentucky (+9) over Old Dominion (5:30 p.m., Saturday, March 7) The Hilltoppers upset ODU and won the first meeting, and I see WKU staying within range of the Monarchs here as well. Even further incentive, a win for Western would give them a 20-win regular season. But overall, the points will be good. WKU went just 4-4 since the start of February, but all four losses were by five or fewer points. Western already has four road league wins, and here they, at the very least, stay inside this number and cash the ticket against Old Dominion.
3-Unit Play. #607 Take Marshall (+11) over Charlotte (7 p.m., Saturday, March 7) Marshall isn’t any good, but then again neither is Charlotte. 13-17 on the year doesn’t really denote a heavy favorite like this, so please give me all the points and the Herd. Marshall lost at home to Charlotte the fist go round, but I think they’ll be fine to cover this game in a close one down the stretch. I just think the 49ers are in no position to lay such a heavy number to another average team in their league. Grab the double digit point spread.
8-Unit Play. #635 Take Colorado State (-1.5) over Utah State (10 p.m., Saturday, March 7) Colorado State has been a really impressive team this season in College Basketball, and for my money the Rams are and have been the best team in the Mountain West all season. Despite being 12-5 in the league one game behind both Boise State and San Diego State, CSU has a 25-5 overall record and has done plenty to supplant themselves as a solid NCAA Tournament team. And while Utah State will give them a bit of a test, I don’t think the Aggies can find a way to be better tonight. Colorado State has three losses in conference games to Boise, Wyoming and San Diego State, the other three 20+ win-teams in the league. The other was at New Mexico in one of the more difficult atmospheres and road courts to get a win. Coming into this game Colorado State has won four straight and six of their past seven games overall. They’ll want to finish the regular season on a big high, adding another win to their already strong Big Dance resume. CSU’s RPI is 27, a big jump from Utah State’s 133. There is just too much of a separate in talent between these two. Colorado State is a team that was built to win this year, and that’s what they did. Utah State experienced a transition year. New Mexico and Boise State were able to score wins on the Aggies’ home floor aleady, and Colorado State is equipped to do the same. The Rams have three double digit scorers as a part of six players who average over eight points per game. This team is balanced and can get production from a handful of skill players. There is more weapons on Colorado State than Utah State. Three straight wins by double digits coming into this contest. Colorado State is going strong headed into the regular season finale. They handle business on the road and score their 26th victory of the year before the Mountain West Conference Tournament tips off next week. Best of Luck – Strike Point Sports
