This is an 8* ASSASSIN on Colorado.

For a number of different reasons I expect the Buffs to pull away down the stretch for the comfortable ATS cover. This is a great situational play, it's true that Colorado is the 10th seed, but note that Oregon State severely backed its way into the Pac-12 Tournament, it lost six of its final seven games and enters this contest down to seven available scholarship players. One player to keep your eyes on today is the Buffaloes Josh Scott, who has averaged 22.3 points and nine boards over his last three games. This is a fantastic play in my opinion from a situational stand point, but it's also a great move from a motivational angle as well as Colorado plays with the revenge factor after falling 72-58 at Oregon State on February 21st (and note, if history is any precedence, then the Buffs have to be loving their chances today as Colorado has advanced past the first round in the Pac-12 tournament since joining the league four years ago). Colorado comes in with some momentum here as well as it would win two of its final three games; note that Scott scored a career-high 32 points and grabbed 12 boards in last Saturday's 96-91 OT loss to Washington State (and note that the team is shooting 51.4 percent collectively over the last three games). The Beavers are going to have their hands full with this suddenly surging Colorado team in my opinion, note that Oregon State has been outrebounded in 13 straight games and lost 11 of its last 13 games away from friendly confines this season. In my opinion, the writing is on the wall and a blowout is in the cards, play on the BUFFALOES.
