11-2-1 last couple weeks.
Oklahoma -0 (@Col)
--- Interesting game to cap. Because I like to look at both sides, here are the reasons NOT to bet on Oklahoma: in Boulder the last 7 years, they are 2-2, with one of those wins coming by 1 point. They have been mediocre on the road this year, crapping the bed against KU in a loss, losing in Lincoln, and just barely escaping College Station, beating TAMU by a point. I am not as confident in this pick as I was when first looking at the card. However, the fact remains that OU is a far superior team. CU, while enjoying a unique home court advantage, has actually not been that great at home in Big 12 play, blowing out two bad teams in Nebraska and Baylor, but barely sneaking by mediocre KSU (by 4) and TT (by 2), as well as getting drilled by KU. I think OU toughs out a road victory here. Colorado has been overrated all year long, mostly based on their ability to manhandle talent-deprived teams (see: non-conferance) at home. Oklahoma is not talent deprived.
KSU +3.5 (@TT)
--- I'll be damned, Texas Tech is finally starting to show a pulse. Maybe Knight finally got the message through to them... it certainly took longer than it did to get it across to Dana Jacobsen. K. St. manages to keep games close in conferance, almost regardless of who or where they are playing. In their 10 Big 12 games this year, 8 of them have been decided by 4 or fewer points. With that track record, I have no idea how Tech can be favored by 3.5 points, especially because both teams have around the same talent (although I would give that to KSU). Texas Tech has been able to defend their home court well this year, but they have only beaten mediocre-poor teams. While KSU is mediocre, I see them hanging around in this one, possibly pulling it out at the end.
ISU -9 (Neb)
--- I keep giving ISU the benefit of the doubt, and they keep disapointing me. They have not been good in Ames this year, only 8-5, which is obliviously incredibly mediocre when compared to their past. I think that Nebraska is primed for a butt kicking though. Nebraska will be without Velander and McCray of course, and they are going to need some below average guards to defend Stinson and Blaylock, I don't see it happening. ISU can put up points, I don't think Nebraska can hang with them.
Good luck fellas.
