4-Unit Play. Take #770 Mississippi State -2 over Auburn (Wednesday, March 11th at 7:00 p.m.) My spreadsheet has Miss State winning this game by a final score of 65-59. The key components in this matchup are: Miss State’s ability to get to the free throw line & recent form Auburn has really struggled down the stretch. They have lost 6 in a row and the Bulldogs are a tough matchup for them. State pounds the ball down low and draws plenty of fouls. On top of that, Auburn fouls a ton. The Bulldogs attempted 31 free throws in the first matchup and I look for much of the same tonight. This won’t be a great game to watch but the Bulldogs will pull it out an ugly win. Take Miss State.
4-Unit Play. Take #745 Colorado -3.5 over Oregon State (Wednesday, March 11th at 9:10 p.m.) My spreadsheet has Colorado winning this game by a final score of 59-51. The key components in this matchup are: Oregon State’s inablity to score and Colorado’s presence down low Colorado lost to the Beavers at Oregon State during the regular season. This is their chance for redemption. Colorado can score the basketball down low and they can get to the free throw line. On top of that, they are decent on the offensive boards. Oregon State is a great defensive team but they play their best defense at home. Tonight’s action will take place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The Beavers’ inability to score in the half court set will ultimately be their downfall. Another ugly game with the Buffaloes pulling out the victory. Take Colorado. Best of luck — Mike Davis
