UCLA games YTD: 20-18-1 (51%)
 Rest of Pac-10 games YTD: 27-31 (46%)
Total Posted YTD: 90-95-3 (47%)

Hey guys, have been MIA the last few days cause I've been ridiculously busy at work. Let's get to the games.

1. Arizona State -4.5 -- Arizona is not the same team at home, period. Arizona State should be ready for an ass kicking giving that they were crushing Arizona at home and let them crawl back into the game last time these teams played.

2. California -1.5 -- USC is a mess, California is just a better team talent-wise and coaching-wise.

Those are the only two lines released so far that I see for the Pac-10 tourney. I'd expect UCLA to be -7.5 or so and Washington to be around -9.

Best of luck everyone, let's get geared up for the tourney!

That Cal line just scares me Capt.Kap. I still can't believe LVSC opened it at SC -2.
 
Will still be on both sides prob

I think he meant "away from home". 

AZ has not beaten anyone except the crappy Oregon schools away from home in the last 4 months.

Train -- I mean Arizona State should be ready to kick ass, I read it again and could see where the confusion comes in.

bracks -- it opened at +2? I saw your thread on that, that's insane. I still think Cal takes the straight up victory here, USC is in shambles. But, this is the type of game that a team like USC could steal if they get hot and Cal goes cold from deep.

bandos/roy --

Vclaw -- it's true, ASU is in no matter what, now its just a matter of seeding. I really think Arizona needs to win this game to get into the tourney. That being said, if Arizona was playing anyone other than ASU in this spot, I might take Zona. The rivalry nature of the game, IMO, means that ASU isn't gonna sleepwalk through this one like a different Pac-10 team might do if they knew they were locked into the tourney already.

Mega -- I took a nice long break the last few days, I'll likely be just doing Pac-10 stuff as well. BOL my man

lleytian -- I agree, Pitt looks like a good play in this spot no doubt. They are just a much more consistent team day in and day out.

sailing -- I'm expecting full effort from AZ today but their road record does not lie.

LOVE that Cal pick- they're my pick to win the tourney if UCLA decides to stink up the joint.

For what its worth kapono, this is a neutral site game and Arizona is 3-0 in those this season. Plus whatever crowd is there is going to be pro-Arizona, ASU fans can't fill up their own arena so there is no way they are going to show up at Staples.

What self-respecting Arizona player loses to Arizona State 3 times in a season? If it wasn't for the fact that Arizona is my team I'd be on them today.

1. Arizona State -4.5
2. California -1.5
3. Washington -5.5

REALLY like the Washington line here and am gonna add it as a play, everything would point to a Washington double digit victory, especially given their style of play and the fact that Stanford is on a rare (literal) back to back. If it effects NBA players, you know it is effecting these college kids who are getting their first tastes of it all season.

No play in the UCLA game but I would lean UCLA and give the points, possibly even the 1H play. It was the perfect storm for WSU the last time these two teams played, I don't expect UCLA to look past WSU this time or allow them to shoot the sick percentage from the floor and deep that they did last time.

Also, Howland is great on the first game of the weekend, and he's been preparing for WSU the last 4-5 days I believe. It bodes well for UCLA in the end.
