Thursday Play

[Nickelback]

Just one play that stands out for now:

Utah State -4 over Boise State BIG

Reasons:

1. Both teams are excellent at home and not so good on the road.
2. Utah State has revenge on its mind from a couple weeks ago.
3. Utah State only shot 1-13 three pointers. . . they won't repeat this performance at home.

Should be a fairly comfortable double digit win.

May have some halftime plays especially from the Pac 10.

Actually, I do have a rare total play. Rare because I am not the best with totals except my halftime totals!

Anyways, gonna try this:

Arizona/USC over 149.5 above average play

Arizona hasn't played a Pac-10 game this season under 150 and that includes Washington State. I don't believe it will start at USC.

good post and reasoning.. what i also like besides what you wrote above, boise st (minus k carl) is a bad free throw shooting team.. rest of the main ft shooters are all 65% or below..give me a team with revenge factor, at home and playing a team who doesnt shoot ft's well and is on the road, i like my chances! plus utah st is $$ from the ft line so if they are up late, they most likely wont allow bs back door covers!

plus utah st shot what 36% last time against boise st and still hung around... not bad, boise st had 2 guys have near season highs as well and shot 55%.. im really liking this one

 

[Nickelback]

Exactly playaAra. . . Utah State will likely shoot 50% or better. . . 45%+ and we should be in good shape as long as they maintain a rebound advantage like the first meeting.

yup.. boise has been playing well of late though.. nearly won @ Nevada, smashed l tech and played new mexico st tough.. but this is more of a situational play.. im with you NB!!! good write up...

I think the basketball team was feeding off the emotion of the football team's bowl win....I don't think it carries over with them on the road on this day....

Great info guys. And with New Mex St playing a tight one with La Tech last night before losing in OT doesn't make Boise's wins look that imppressive

I love the angle of road team getting beat solidly then returning to home court against them.

Ill be on Utah St. tonight, thanks for the info.

wow utah st won by 1! down 9 with 2:30 secs they hit a shot and the foul with 7 seconds.. was praying spicer would miss the FT but he hit it :com:

boise was ATROCIOUS from the FT line like i said but damn.. if it went to OT they woulda gotten killed i bet.. ahhhh

 

[Wilson]

cuksukers won by one.

 

[Nickelback]

Can't believe Utah State even won. Just not our night. I'm itching to play AZ the 2nd half but won't do it. I can hear Lute back here in AZ yelling at his team right now. I think they come out and get on a nice run to start the 2nd half.
