10* Take Louisville (-3) over Notre Dame (NCAA Top Play)
Louisville has covered the spread in 14 of the last 16 games when playing on the road and they have also covered the spread in 14 of the last 17 games when playing in the month of February.
10* Take Washington State (-11.5) over Oregon (NCAA Top Play)
Oregon has lost 12 of the last 14 games against the spread coming off two or more consecutive home losses and they have also lost 11 of the last 15 games against the spread as an underdog this season..
The Southern California Trojans (15-7) have won five of the last six in this series and sometimes trends just continue to play out. For example, USC is 17-7 against the points in their last 24 road games and Arizona (aside from now playing without Lute Olson as head coach) have covered only 10 of their last 31 games on Thursday nights. Besides I believe that USC is a better team, after all the Wildcats did lose to UNLV. Take USC!

Game: Oregon State Beavers @ Washington Huskies - Thursday February 12, 2009 11:00 pm
Pick: 3 units ATS: Oregon State Beavers +16.5 (-110)
The Beavers have quietly played much better basketball as the season has progressed. They are 4-3 against the spread in their last 7 games, but their games are much more competitive than earlier in the season. Oregon State is in a position where they play their best basketball, a significant road underdog where little is expected of them. In addition, they were embarrassed by Washington earlier in the season at home, so this game is a huge revenge factor for them. Meanwhile, the Huskies are not in a good situation heading into this game. They are coming off of four consecutive road games against the better teams in the Pac-10. Now Washington is coming home to play a team that they dominated earlier in the season, so there is little motivation for them to get up for this game. Especially since they had were fairly successful in their road contests, going 2-2 straight up. Look for an improved Oregon State team playing with motivation to keep this game close.
