so glad its thursday meaning big west basketball
not playing
ucsb +1 @ ucr..lean towards ucr since there home
small plays
Fullerton -12.5 vs Cal Poly
after seeing them play at pacific in the beginning of the conf play tehy were my pick to end up 2nd behind uop..Fullerton then had one of there best players if not there best get hurt for the year since losing Asprilla theve lost there last 3 games..the last 2 losse were on the road but theve been getting better each game in playing without asprilla..cal poly is without a doubt the 2nd worst team in the big west..0-7 on the road and avg losing by dd on the road..last road game they played they lost by 20 @ucsb..fullerton without asprilla is still a better team than ucsb..see fullerton putting together a 15 pt win at least
UC Irvine +4 vs Utah St
utah st is not the team they were last year and that team last year won at uci by 3..utah st is not a good road team at all..uc irvine are riding a 3 game winning streak and playing good basketball..earlier in the year lost to pacific at home by 2..if they can stay that close vs pacific at home then they should be able to just as well if not better against utah st(who is far from a good road team like pacific)..even though utah st isnt as good as they were last year when ever they go on the road(same situation as pacific) people come out in far bigger #s and help the home team to there better performances of the season..this game is a couple point game either way so ill take the 4..this game has live video feed at www.anteaters.tv
bigger plays
Idaho -1.5 at Long Beach St
Long Beach St is the worse team in the Big West and home court has no help for them cause no one cares(fans or players)..idaho is 5-2 in conference play and are clearly a far better team..they should win by dd
Pacific pk @ Northridge
only one game in big west play that would be reasonable for pacific to not be favored and thats not this game(would be at utah st)..Pacific is on the verge of getting into the top 25 and 2 wins this week depending on what other teams do might be enough to get them in the top 25 were they deserve to be..nothridge will have the best turnout for the game as its on local tv there and here in stockton as northridge is looking for payback as last year the tigers beat them all 3 times including the big west tourney..northridge has played really well at home including wins vs utah st and idaho..ont playing well lately though as tehy played poorly in both game on the road last week..pacific has 3 big men who should give northridge a horrible time as they dont have the big men to match up..this is a game where yango maraker and newton should be dominate for pacific down low..eventually if not from the begginning there going to be needing to double leaving guys like marko,doubley,and webb open for 3 pointers and when open there $...pacific wins by 5-10
