College Basketball 1/29/09: Jordan Picks Cal at UCLA
California (16-4) at No. 16 UCLA (15-4)
The Line: UCLA -9 1/2
Cal is falling apart. They lost to Oregon State at home and then let Oregon play them way too close. UCLA is pissed off after losing to Washington and they are going to take that out on Cal in their first game back at Poly [...]
College Basketball 1/29/09: Jordan Picks Stanford at USC
Stanford (13-4) at USC (13-6)
The Line: Pick
I have gone against USC their past two games and it has really cost me. USC PF Taj Gibson is playing better than I have given him credit for. USC SG Dwight Lewis will be back and ready to play, and USC PG Daniel Hackett may be the best [...]
College Basketball 1/29/09: Jordan Picks Washington State at Arizona State
Washington St. (11-8) at No. 14 Arizona St. (16-3)
The Line: Arizona St. -10 1/2
James Harden will be ready to roll when the Cougars head to town. My entire fellow Sun Devils will be jam packing the Wells Fargo Arena liquored up and screaming at the top of their lungs. Washington State is looking weaker and [...]
College Basketball 1/29/09: Jordan Picks Washington at Arizona
Washington (15-4) at Arizona (12-8)
The Line: Arizona + 1 1/2
Washington looked amazing in their last game taking down UCLA and I like them to carry that momentum down to Tucson. Arizona is very inconsistent and poorly coached. They lack chemistry and don’t foul way too much. John Brockman may meet his match in Arizona C [...]
College Basketball 1/24/09: Jordan Picks Oregon State at Stanford
Oregon State (7-10) at Stanford (13-3)
The Line: Stanford -16
Oregon St. is playing with a lot of confidence right now heading into Stanford. They will find a way to keep this one close and cover yet another spread. Calvin Haynes has been very impressive and has yet to be stopped in Pac 10 play. The difference [...]
College Basketball 1/24/09: Jordan Picks USC at Washington State
USC (12-6) at Washington State (11-7)
The Line: Washington State -1 1/2
Washington St. will have all the confidence in the world going into this game. The Cougs will be focused and ready to go after barely losing to the Bruins. USC continues to struggle finding consistency on offense and are plagued with the injury bug. USC [...]
College Basketball 1/24/09: Jordan Picks Oregon at Cal
Oregon (6-13) at Cal (15-4)
The Line: Cal -13
I have wasted enough faith on the Ducks at this point. They are just THAT bad. They won’t win a conference game this year. CAL is pissed off at losing two in a row and should take it out on the Ducks. This one will be VERY ugly. [...]
College Basketball 1/24/09: Jordan Picks Houston at Arizona
Houston (12-4) at Arizona (11-8)
The Line: Arizona -6
Arizona can’t seem to win games vs. anyone lately. Chase Budinger looks lost at times on the court because his teammates don’t seem to be in sync with him. Budinger moves to get open and his teammates don’t even see him. If I were on the Wildcats I [...]
College Basketball 1/24/09: Jordan Picks UCLA at Washington
UCLA (15-3) at Washington (14-4)
The Line: Washington -1
This Washington team has been begging to prove themselves vs. a team like the Bruins. UCLA will have no answer for Brockman and Isiah Thomas will surprise Darren Collison. UCLA had to really battle to sneak out of Wazzou with a win and it would be really tough [...]
College Basketball 1/24/09: Sam Picks Houston at Arizona
Houston (12-4) at Arizona (11-8)
The Line: Arizona -5 1/2
The Cougars of Houston visit Tucson to tangle with the Wildcats of the UofA on Saturday. The teams have met 5 times since 1994 with the Wildcats winning 4 of 5 from the Cougars. In their last meeting Arizona came away with a 14pt victory [...]
