I am not the biggest Wildcat fan at all and do not think they deserve to be in the NCAA tournament but today they play a team which is as inept and pathetic as they come and there really is no other scenario but a 30 point burial.
I have fallen into the trap a few times of backing Oregon State plus some hefty prices but the Beavers continue to be horrific and do things which don't even seem possible. I have watched OSU allow mindboggling 30-4 type runs and after a full season of this and Jay John being fired there is no upside at all for the Beavers. No doubt this is a huge number on a neutral site but Arizona just won in Corvallis by about 40 last week, 81-45. With Jerryd Bayless, Chase Budinger and a ton of motivation as the 'Cats are on the bubble I cannot see anything close to a game here.
I truly have never seen a worse major conference team than this Oregon State bunch. These guys won six games all season long, have lost 20 in a row and went an unreal 0-18 in the Pac-10 this season. The Beavers have also dropped seven straight to the number and there is no reason to believe that number eight is not well on its way here.
OSU has beaten SC Upstate, Idaho State, Portland State, Cal Davis, CSU Bakersfield and Northern Colorado with the last win coming on December 19th. Once again, there is just no reason to believe this will be competitive, none!
PICK: ARIZONA WILDCATS (-17.5)
