pacific/cs-northridge: what makes pacific such a lock tonight?......

[gman2]

it seems everyone is loading up on pacific tonight. ive made some nice money on this team earlier in the year in the dog role, but just wondering why everyone is in such a hurry to lay 7 or 8 points with them in the big west championship game?

statistically- the teams are pretty even.
theyre the two best free throw shooting teams in the conference. both teams are pretty weak on the glass. both teams shoot the 3 well. both teams have good balance

earlier matchups- pacific won by 8 and by 7. both games were very tight, with pacific up 27-25 and 44-40 at halftime of the two meetings.

why the hurry to lay all the points?
just because northridge upset utah state, they suddenly stand no chance the next night with a tourney berth on the line? wasnt like they hade a miracle comeback. the controlled the 1h and then hit a late jumper to win it.

just looking for all opinions.

My thoughts exactly gman. I haven't seen a single play on CS-N.

Vegas just giving away money?

Couple of Crown's and I'll probably take the points.

my take is after watching every single bw tournament game is: csun has played above their level to get here, tonite i feel they won't have energy level as before. also that side of bracket was much easier playing fullerton, ucr and then utah st. basically skated as fullerton is very weak, ucr was just giddy to be there and utah st. with that rpi didn't put a worthy effort in that game...
i see game 2 ways & both favor tigers
1. pacific gets up early and rolls big! 20% chance
2. tight game 1h maybe even behind at half then matadors fade 2h squeak to 8-10 point cover.

tigers know only way in after great season is a win tonite as utah st. gets in on rpi.
hey i've been wrong many times and hate that so many people on it, seems like with so many on it, its bound to lose!
still a great play though, also like over too.

G-Man, First of all,didn`t know there was a "Rush to judgement"
on Pacific .My main thrust, is the Matadors have played 3 Nts
in a row & will run out of gas playing a team which will be more
rested & has beat them twice,already TY.Think Tigers W By +10
