8* Sure-Shot
(NCAAB) Cal Poly vs. Texas Southern,
Point Spread: 3.50 | -110.00 Texas Southern (Home)
Result: Loss
Taking TEXAS SOUTHERN here. I'm no huge backing of SWAC teams, but I have to fade Poly here. What a run these guys just completed. They were 10-19 coming into the Big West Tournament and ran the table. On the way the knocked off UC Santa Barbara who was 21-9, 12-4 in conference play. Then regular season Champs Cal Irvine 13-3 and 23-11 overall. To wrap things up, a win over a CS Northridge team that also overachieved and claim the tournament championship. Maybe they are riding high here. But I know Texas Southern is riding a 9 game win streak. They have a big center, Murray who scored 48 against Temple. Now, Temple isn't like, the old John Chaney Temple's, but 48 is 48. And I would put a team 6 games under .500 from the Big West in the same basket. 8* Sure Shot TEXAS SOUTHERN
