record 31-35
USC -16.5
USC has a lot more depth and much better athletes. Think CSF will have trouble scoring as they are shooting just 39% and scoring 55 ppg in 2 road games while USC is giving up just 66 ppg and 37% shooting at home. CSF also doesn't play much defense allowing opponents to shoot 49% from the field and 41% from 3 point range. I think USC wins this one going away.
San Diego +13.5
Think this is a few too many points. San Diego has good size up front with Keep, Blair, and Lewis and have done a good job on the glass outrebounding opponents by 10 per game. Keep is a transfer from Oklahoma St. and is shooting 65% from the field. I don't think BYU has anyone big enough to guard him. SD has already beaten UCLA and should keep it a close game.
Penn St. +4.5
See no reason for Temple being favored on the road against anybody right now. Temple's zone is having a lot of problems stopping people giving up 78 ppg and 44% 3's. PSU shoots a lot of 3's and if they get hot at home they should put up some points. Riley has been on fire since he started getting some playing time a couple of games ago hitting 10 of 16 3's and Chambliss and Watkins are capable of shooting much better than they have thus far.
Tulsa +3
Kansas isn't playing well and I think Tulsa has a good shot at the upset at home. Perimeter shooting could be the difference in this one. Swanson, Reed, and Parker are excellent 3 point shooters and Kansas has had trouble defending the 3 giving up 39% on the year. Jayhawks lack a great 3 point shooter this season w/o Boschee with only 20 thru 6 games. Kansas is also a poor FT shooting team shooting just 62% from the line which could also come back to hurt them as Tulsa can put up some points.
