For Saturday, Raise The Bar 1500♦ is Oregon plus the points against Kansas. At 7:45 am eastern time, the Ducks are +7 point dogs both in Vegas and offshore.
Kansas sure put on a show in the late game on Thursday night at the Sprint Center, as they gave the decidedly pro-KU crowd plenty of opportunity to chant and wave the wheat in the second half of their 98-66 bludgeoning of a Purdue team whose will got broken early and easily by the Jayhawks.
Earlier on the same court, Oregon went back-and-forth with the hottest team in the land, as the Ducks were able to hold off Michigan 69-68 in a real gut-check win. Now the Ducks are at the same point they were last season before falling to Oklahoma out of the Big 12. Deja Vu, as Dana Altman's team gets another Big 12 team, and gets the team that sure looks like they can be playing on the final Monday of the year next week in Glendale.
Chris Boucher is missed, but Altman has done a great job working his lineup without the big man in there, and Kansas is not particularly big nor deep, so I like the quick turnaround to work in the favor of the Ducks plus the points tonight.
Dillon Brooks will likely draw the assignment of defending freshman Josh Jackson in this meeting, and while Jackson was again stellar with 15 points against Purdue, let's remember that he is still a FRESHMAN!
Frank Mason III will once again be the engine that drives Bill Self's team, and while it is hard not to imagine KU advancing in this "home" game, I am having an issue laying the points against the gritty and motivated Ducks tonight.
Take the points and look for this one to be closer than expected.
4-Unit Play. #514. Take Gonzaga -8 over Xavier (Saturday @ 6:05pm est)
Back to back winners for us with 4-unit winners when it comes to North Carolina and the Arizona/Xavier Under and we go for 3 straight winners on the docket today. Travelling today. But long story short, it's over for Xavier today, fantastic public fade and Xavier has struggled against elite defenses and they face a Gonzaga team that preps as well as anyone and Xavier's lack of 3 point shooting will come into affect today as they are not great in effective field goal percentage and that will be the difference today
