Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

Over/under wagers for home runs this season:

31.5 Gary Sanchez

30.5 Kyle Schwarber

28.5 Marcell Ozuna

28.5 Charlie Blackmon

27.5 Joey Votto

26.5 Jake Lamb

**********

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Mid-week musings……

13) One of the most underestimated facts in sports; over the last five years, Tom Brady has earned $74,784,964, “only” $14,956,993 a year. That allows New England more flexibility in paying other players. Not many quarterbacks or any athlete would willingly take less money to help the ballclub win— you think a member of the Manning family would do that?

Since 2013, Eli Manning has earned $97,660,004, 3rd-most in NFL.

Lot of people think Brady is the best quarterback ever; for him to be in the middle of the pack salary-wise is ludicrous and absurd.

12) Since 2013, Baltimore Ravens have spent $119,584,094 on the QB position, most in the NFL; Tennessee Titans have spent $38,280,713, the least.

11) Matthew Stafford has earned $111,008,969 over the last five years; he has an 0-3 career record in playoff games, which is part of why the Lions changed coaches this winter.

10) St Mary’s lost in the WCC tourney and their non-conference strength of schedule is #290; I don’t know if they’re getting in NCAA’s or not, but I do know this will be the longest week of their lives, as they wait for 6:00 Sunday night, to see if their season is a success or a failure.

9) Maine fired its basketball Monday and hired the former women’s coach, who sat out last year on medical leave. Then Maine’s best player announced he would transfer; Aaron Calixte scored 17 points a game this season. New coach’s job just got a little tougher.

8) Random baseball fact: last year, Joey Votto had a streak of 20 games in a row where he reached base 2+ times. That is the longest such streak since 1981. Barry Bonds had a 19-game streak in 2004.

7) Ed Hochuli retired as an NFL referee; he gave the best explanations for penalties. Long time ago, Hochuli was a linebacker at Texas-El Paso. Hochuli’s son Shawn is one of two new NFL refs, replacing his dad and Jeff Triplette, who also retired.

6) Charleston 83, Northeastern 76 OT— CAA final was one of best games of Champ Week so far. Huskies led by as many as 17 points in second half. This tournament is usually played in Richmond, but has been in Charleston last couple years- that sure helped the Cougars in this game. Charleston is in NCAA’s for first time since 1999.

Northeastern +2.5 is a very tough beat.

5) Wow. University of Memphis is seriously considering firing Tubby Smith and replacing him with Memphis legend Anfernee Hardaway, who is currently a high school coach in Memphis.

Rumors are that Hardaway would bring Larry Brown in as an assistant coach. Brown will be 78 in September; he is the only coach ever to win an NBA title and an NCAA national title.

4) Arizona Diamondbacks are bringing the bullpen cart back for this year; not sure if it’ll help pace of play at all, but bullpen carts are very cool. Now that just about all the bullpens are off the field and behind the OF fence, you might see more teams do this.

3) Gonzaga 74, BYU 54— Orleans Arena in Las Vegas has a great coffee shop; am guessing it is filled with happy Gonzaga fans after this rout of a BYU team that emptied its bucket when they upset St Mary’s Monday nite.

There is talk of Gonzaga moving to a better basketball league; that would be a really interesting decision. Gonzaga is kind of like UNLV was in the late 80’s when they ruled the Big West, but once they moved to the Mountain West, things haven’t been as good for the Rebels. Sometimes it is better to be the big fish in a smaller pond.

2) South Dakota 97, South Dakota 87— Jackrabbits are headed to NCAA’s for 3rd year in row and fifth time overall. They have a 6-8 kid named Daum who is an NBA player- he can shoot the 3-ball (42.8%) but when he got in foul trouble in this game, they still stretched out their lead- their freshman Jenkins is also a really good player.

1— In 1985, Mike Schmidt was the highest paid baseball player, at $3,125,000 a year.

This year, even a cheapskate team like my Oakland A’s have six guys who make that much. Trust me, none of those six guys could touch Mike Schmidt’s shoelaces. If Schmidt was playing today, you’d have to add on a zero to the end of that $3,125,000 to pay his tab.

College basketball conference tournament week: Favorites and best bets
Ashton Grewal

College basketball conference tournament week is here which means the biggest programs and future NBA lottery picks take the court in the hopes of cutting down the nets. The sheer volume of games can be a lot to handle for oddsmakers and sports bettors alike.

ACC (March 6-10, Brooklyn)

Favorite: Virginia Cavaliers +140 (28-2 overall, 17-1 conference) – The Cavaliers ran wild in conference play and became the first ACC team to finish with only one league loss since the 2002 Maryland Terrapins. This is the best version of Virginia since Tony Bennett became the head coach in 2009 – but it still butters its bread on the defensive side of the ball.
The Cavaliers allowed the fewest points per game in the country (52.8) and held high-scoring sides like Duke and UNC to 63 and 49 points respectively. Be on the lookout for news regarding leading scorer Kyle Guy. The Cavs guard hurt his ankle in the regular season finale against Notre Dame.

Live dog: NC State Wolfpack +2500 (21-10 overall, 11-7 conference) – The Wolfpack own some resume-padding wins and some head-scratching losses too. NC State topped Arizona in non-conference play, downed Duke and beat UNC at Chapel Hill. First year coach Kevin Keatts had his crew humming to end the regular season; The Wolfpack went 7-3 straight up in their last 10 games and 5-1 against the spread in their last six.

Atlantic 10 (March 7-11, Washington D.C.)

Favorite: Rhode Island Rams +150 (23-6 overall, 15-3 conference) – The Rams entered the season as the favorites to win the Atlantic 10 after they returned most of the same group that won the conference tournament in 2017, and nearly knocked off eventual Final Four team Oregon in the Round of 32. Rhode Island has lost twice in the last week of the regular season and had just one convincing win over its final five contests.

Live dog: Davidson Wildcats +250 (18-11 overall, 13-5 conference) – The odds could be better but Davidson are playing as well as any team in the conference entering the tournament and it took down Rhode Island and St. Bonaventure during the regular season. The Wildcats are led by potential A-10 Player of the Year Peyton Aldridge, who leads the conference in scoring at 21.3 points per game.

Big East (March 7-10, New York)

Favorite: Villanova Wildcats -175 (27-4 overall, 14-4 conference) – The Wildcats are one of the few teams to be the favorite to win their conference tournament despite failing to win the regular season crown. Villanova is granted this exception by the oddsmakers because of how thoroughly it smashed top seed Xavier in the two meetings this season. Jay Wright’s side finished with the nation’s fourth-best scoring margin (+16 ppg) despite playing the sixth-toughest schedule in the nation.

Live dog: Seton Hall Pirates +1200 (21-10 overall, 10-8 conference) – The Pirates won four of their last five regular season games, with the one loss an overtime contest against Villanova. Seton Hall sat down Texas Tech and lost by one to Rhode Island in its non-conference schedule. Desi Rodriguez, the squad’s leading scorer, has been out since Feb. 21 when he rolled his ankle against Providence. His return could be a big boost for the Pirates.

Big 12 (March 7-10, Kansas City)

Favorite: Kansas Jayhawks +180 (24-7 overall, 13-5 conference) – The Jayhawks won their 14th consecutive Big 12 regular season title under head coach Bill Self but it was no cakewalk this time around. Kansas lost its top recruit and used a seven-player rotation during the regular season. Like all Self teams, this year’s KU team relies heavily on its starting point guard – Devonte’ Graham. Kansas would be in big trouble if Graham got hurt or in early foul trouble during the league tournament.

Live dog: Oklahoma Sooners +1800 (18-12 overall, 8-10 conference) – It seems like a long, long time ago but the Sooners started the season by winning 12 of their first 13 games and knocked off Oregon, USC and Wichita State along the way. They still have Trae Young, who – at times – has shown off Steph Curry-type range with jumper off the dribble.

Mountain West (March 7-10, Las Vegas)

Favorite: Nevada Wolf Pack +120 (26-6 overall, 15-3 conference) – Nevada is among the highest-scoring teams in the nation and possesses two dead-eye shooters from deep in Caleb Martin and Kendall Stephens. The Wolf Pack won the MWC a year ago and entered the season as the faves to take the conference crown again, but had to deal with a slew injuries during the campaign.

Live dog: San Diego State Aztecs +500 (21-10 overall, 11-7 conference) – The Aztecs are in great shape heading into the MWC tournament as long as Trey Kell is healthy. San Diego State went 3-4 SU without their senior point guard in the lineup. Kell was a big part of the Aztecs’ six-game win streak to close the regular season.

Pac-12 (March 7-10, Las Vegas)

Favorite: Arizona Wildcats +200 (24-7 overall, 14-4 conference) – There’s no questioning the Wildcats are the class of the conference but there’s enough stuff going on in the background that will warrant an oral history penned by Jonathan Abrams. Head coach Sean Miller’s name is all over the FBI’s NCAA basketball investigation – including an alleged 100K payment for freshman and Pac-12 Player of the Year Deandre Ayton. Miller and Ayton are ploughing ahead as is second-leading scorer Allonzo Trier, who recently returned to the Wildcat lineup after a two-game suspension due to a positive PED test.

Live dog: Southern California Trojans +400 (21-10 overall, 12-6 conference) – This is a little bit of a cheat code because the Trojans are the second fave to win the tournament. They didn’t do much in their non-conference schedule but they showed last season they can string some solid performances together over a short amount of time. Chimezie Metu and Bennie Boatwright are talented big men who can dominate a game against the right opponent.

SEC (March 7-11, St. Louis)

Favorite: Auburn Tigers +300 (25-6 overall, 13-5 conference) – The Tigers are tied with Tennessee and Florida for the shortest odds to win the SEC tournament and The Athletic listed the Volunteers as the pick to cut down the nets. Auburn would be the clear fave to win the conference tournament if it didn’t look like big man Anfernee McLemore was done for the season. The Tigers are one of the top offensive teams in the nation but their defense loses a lot without McLemore manning the paint and protecting the rim.

Live dog: Alabama Crimson Tide +3000 (17-14 overall, 8-10 conference) – Winning a string of games over a short amount of time sometimes requires just two things: excellent team defense and one outstanding offensive guard. Alabama has both of these qualities. The Crimson Tide rank 28th in the country in opponent field goal percentage (41.4) and freshman point guard Colin Sexton is an expert at making tough hoops.

ACC Conference Tournament Second Round betting preview and odds

While Boston College, Syracuse, and Notre Dame were battling hard during the opening round of the ACC tournament at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Tuesday; Florida St., Louisville, NC State, North Carolina, and Virginia Tech were all enjoying their first round byes. Well, vacation time is over.

Tournament to be played at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Louisville Cardinals vs Florida State Seminoles (-1, 152.5)

Despite staggering to the regular-season finish line, ninth-seeded Louisville and eighth-seeded Florida State earned byes into the second round of the ACC Tournament, where they will meet Wednesday afternoon at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. The teams split the season series this year, with each pulling out victories on the road, and the winner advances to the quarterfinals to face top seeded Virginia on Thursday.

Louisville has lost two straight and four of the last five, including a 76-69 loss to North Carolina State to end the regular season. It all starts with junior guard/forward Deng Adel, an honorable mention All-ACC selection who is riding a streak of 22 straight double-digit scoring outings, including a 20-point showing in the season-ending loss to N.C. State that upped his average to a team-high 15.5 points per game. The Cardinals are averaging 7.1 steals per game but they have only totaled eight in their last three outings combined and they have been sloppy with their own ball-handling of late as well, committing 15 turnovers in three of their last four games to finish the season with 12.1 per game (11th in the ACC).

Florida State has lost two of the last three, although it did finish out the season with an 86-75 win over Boston College. Seminoles junior Terance Mann earned honorable mention All-ACC honors this season as he developed into an all-around threat, leading the school in both scoring (career-high 13.3) and rebounding (career-high 5.7), one of only three ACC players to finish the regular season leading his team in both categories. The Seminoles shot 50 percent from the field in the win over BC and are shooting 47.5 percent for the year, but they only managed 40 percent shooting in their loss to the Cardinals, one of eight ACC opponents to shoot 40 percent or below against Louisville this year.

Fifth-seeded North Carolina State plays its first game of the ACC Tournament on Wednesday in the second round against 12th-seeded Boston College after the Eagles advanced with an 87-77 first-round victory over Georgia Tech.

The Wolfpack are playing their best basketball of the season and come into the tournament having won five of six, including a 76-69 home victory over Louisville in Saturday's regular-season finale. The Wolfpack were the surprise team of the ACC this season by finishing sixth after it was picked to finished 12th in the preseason. N.C. State won their regular-season matchup against B.C. 82-66 at home Feb. 20.

Sophomore guard Ky Bowman was on fire for B.C. against the Yellow Jackets as he poured in 26 points on 8-of-13 shooting while adding 10 rebounds and six assists. Sophomore Nik Popovic had a very efficient outing with 20 points on 8-of-11 shooting for his highest scoring game of the season, while Jerome Robinson, the conference regular-season scoring leader at 20.7 points per game and runner-up for ACC Player of the Year to Duke's Marvin Bagley III, struggled from the floor with 5-of-17 shooting but still managed to chip in with 19 points and shot 8-of-9 from the free-throw line.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs Virginia Tech Hokies (+1.5, 141.5)

Seventh-seeded Virginia Tech has finished the regular-season with a winning record in the ACC three straight years for the first time since joining the league in 2004-05 and is intent on making a long run in the conference tournament. The Hokies, who are the only league team to beat regular-season champ Virginia, start their quest against 10th-seeded Notre Dame in the second round of the ACC Tournament Wednesday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Virginia Tech suffered a 69-68 setback in its regular-season finale at Miami (Fla.) on Saturday for its second loss in three games. Junior guard Justin Robinson, who leads the team in scoring (13.8) and assists (5.5), was named second team All-ACC after finishing the regular season strong by draining 11-of-22 from 3-point range the last five games. The Hokies have been well-balanced all season offensively with five players averaging in double figures, but several of them have struggled shooting lately. Senior guard Justin Bibbs (13.1 points) is 15-for-45 from the field the last four games while junior guard Ahmed Hill (11.1) has 28 points total in the past nine games.

The Hokies won at Notre Dame 80-75 on Jan. 27, but the Fighting Irish were without their top two scorers - Bonzie Colson and Matt Farrell - due to injuries. Colson scored 19 points and Farrell added 18 as Notre Dame outlasted pesky Pittsburgh 67-64 in the first round Tuesday, keeping its hopes alive for a bid in the NCAA Tournament. Colson, who was the ACC’s preseason player of the year, is averaging 18.3 points in three games since returning from a broken foot and the Irish are 13-4 with the 6-6 senior forward in the lineup.

BETTING STATS:

BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVEMENT:

TRENDS:

* Fighting Irish are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 neutral site games.
* Hokies are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss.
* Under is 5-2-1 in Fighting Irish's last 8 neutral site games.
* Under is 8-0 in Hokies' last 8 vs. Atlantic Coast.
* Underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Big East Conference Tournament First Round betting preview and odds

The first round of the Big East Tournament gets underway in Madison Square Garden and if any of the teams involved in Wednesday's opening round hope to go dancing, it will take a miracle deep run to a conference tournament title.

Tournament to be played at Madison Square Garden, New York City, New York

St. John's Red Storm vs. Georgetown Hoyas (+4.5, 146)

Ninth-seeded St. John's and No. 8 seed Georgetown will do battle in the first round of the Big East Tournament for the second straight season Wednesday at Madison Square Garden in New York. The Hoyas won both regular season meetings by a total of seven points, including one in double overtime, but will be facing a much different Red Storm squad - one that prevailed in five of its final eight games.

Fresh off being named to the All-Big East first team, Shamorie Ponds enters the tournament chasing the St. John's sophomore scoring record held by coach Chris Mullin. The Brooklyn native needs 24 points to pass Mullin for the record and to post the 10th-highest single-season point total in school history. Ponds missed the Red Storm's final two regular-season games with an abdominal strain, but is expected to be ready to face Georgetown, a team he has averaged 20.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and four assists against in five career meetings. The Hoyas will counter with Jessie Govan, who put up 17.5 points and 10 rebounds per game to become the first Georgetown player since Mike Sweetney (2002-03) to average a double-double, and All-Big East second team honoree Marcus Derrickson, who combined to average 39 points and 20 rebounds this season against St. John's, with the winner moving on to face top-seeded Xavier on Thursday.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, Fox Sports 1

BETTING STATS:

BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVEMENT:

The Red Storm opened as 4.5-point favorites and the total hit betting boards at 146. As of Tuesday evening those numbers have yet to move.

MATCHUP CHART:

TRENDS:

* Red Storm are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS win.
* Hoyas are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.
* Over is 6-1 in Red Storm last 7 games following a ATS win.
* Over is 5-1 in Hoyas last 6 overall.

DePaul Blue Demons vs Marquette Golden Eagles (-6, 152)

Experts are debating how many wins Marquette needs at the Big East Tournament in order to reach the NCAA Tournament, but one thing is clear: A loss to DePaul would be a death sentence. The seventh-seeded Golden Eagles take on the 10th-seeded Blue Demons at New York's Madison Square Garden in the opening round of the event Wednesday.

Marquette is in this precarious position partially because of its loss to DePaul late last month, when it suffered a 70-62 setback to the league's last-place team. That is the only defeat in the last five games for the Golden Eagles, who watched all three of their scoring stars struggle from the field in that one. Marquette will hope to ride its offense that has clearly swung the fate of the team in recent weeks. The Blue Demons have lost five of six, managing only the win against Marquette on Feb. 24 during that stretch.

TV: 9:30 p.m. ET, Fox Sports 1

BETTING STATS:

BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVEMENT:

Marquette opened as 5.5-point favorites and that number was quickly adjusted slightly up to -6. The total hit betting boards at 152 and has yet to move.

MATCHUP CHART:

TRENDS:

* Blue Demons are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
* Under is 6-1 in Blue Demons last 7 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.
* Under is 7-1 in Golden Eagles last 8 vs. a team with a losing straight up record.
* Under is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings.

Big 12 Conference Tournament First Round betting preview and odds

Trae Young was the hottest name in college basketball a few weeks ago, but now Oklahoma struggled down the stretch and is on the bubble for the Big Dance.

The Big 12 conference tournament tips off Wednesday with a pair of intriguing first round matchups, as Trae Young - who had the most up-and-down season in recent college basketball memory - and Oklahoma take on rival and upset expert Oklahoma State, while Texas takes on Iowa State, the tourney champ in three of the last four years.

Games to be played at Sprint Center, Kansas City, Missouri

Oklahoma Sooners at Oklahoma State Cowboys (Pick, 162)

Oklahoma and freshman sensation Trae Young limped to the finish line in Big 12 play, losing seven of their last nine games. Young, who leads the nation in both scoring and assists, missed practice earlier this week to rest an injured left hip suffered in a 87-64 loss at Baylor on Feb. 27 but says he'll be ready to go when the ninth-seeded Sooners take on eighth-seeded Oklahoma State in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament on Wednesday night in Kansas City, Mo.

Young, who is averaging 27.5 points and 8.9 assists and is shooting 35.9 percent from 3-point range, could be a man on a mission after getting snubbed by Big 12 coaches for conference-player-of-the-year honors which went to Kansas senior Devonte' Graham. "March is when the stars come out, and stuff like that," said Young, who was named the Big 12 Freshman of he Year. "This is the time to play well, the time to bring your best, because you're going to get everybody's best shot." Junior guard Christian James (12.5 points) and freshman forward Brady Manek (10.4) also average in double digits for the Sooners, who rank fourth nationally in scoring (86.0) and have scored 90 points in 12 contests.

The Cowboys celebrated Senior Night with a court-storming upset of Kansas, sweeping the regular-season series with the Big 12-champion Jayhawks and all but cementing an NCAA berth. Senior guard Kendall Smith, who began his career at UNLV and then played two years at Cal State Northridge before moving on to Stillwater, finished with 25 points, including 4-of-6 3-pointers, and ranks second on the team in scoring (12.9) and has totaled 21 or more points in three of the last five games. Senior swingman Jeffrey Carroll leads the team in scoring (15.1) and is second in rebounding (5.9) while junior guard Tavarius Shine also is averaging in double figures (10.0 points) and has scored 16 points in each of the previous two meetings with the Sooners.

BETTING STATS:

BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVEMENT: Line for this in-state rivalry opened at a Pick'em and that's where it sits as of Tuesday night. The opened at 162 and has also been steady. Early bettors are almost split down the middle in this matchup, according to our Covers Consensus.

MATCHUP CHART:

TRENDS:

* Oklahoma is 2-9 ATS in its last 11 games overall.
* Oklahoma State is 4-0 ATS in its last four games overall.
* Over is 5-0 in Oklahoma's last five neutral site games.
* Under is 5-1 in Oklahoma State's las six vs. a team with a winning SU record.
* Oklahoma is 11-3 ATS in the last 14 meetings.

Iowa State Cyclones vs. Texas Longhorns (-5.5, 136.5)

Texas freshman forward Mohamed Bamba will be a game-time decision when the seventh-seeded Longhorns begin the Big 12 Tournament against 10th-seeded Iowa State on Wednesday. Bamba, who earned All-Big 12 Second Team, All-Defensive Team and All-Newcomer Team honors, has missed back-to-back games with a sprained toe. Bamba averaged 17.0 points, 14.0 rebounds and 3.5 rebounds in a pair of wins against Iowa State while Cyclone redshirt freshman forward Cameron Lard had 16.5 points, 14.0 rebounds and 3.0 blocks in those games.

The Cyclones closed the regular season with six straight losses, the final four without injured starters Nick Weiler-Babb (knee) and Solomon Young (knee). Freshman guard Lindell Wigginton (team-high 16.6 points) is on pace to break the school's freshman scoring average (16.2 by Curtis Stinson, 2003-04) while Lard adds 12.5 points and a team-best 8.2 rebounds. Senior guard Donovan Jackson adds 15.3 points and needs nine 3-points to tie the team's single-season record (102 by Dedric Willoughby, 1996-97). Junior forward Zoran Talley Jr. (7.3 points, 3.8 rebounds) is averaging 10.1 points since becoming a starter 10 games ago for the Cyclones, who have been outrebounded by 5.0 boards during its losing streak.

Jericho Sims, a 6-9 freshman, is averaging 14.5 points on 75-percent shooting and 8.0 rebounds in 36.0 minutes in two starts in place of the 6-11 Bamba (13.0 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.8 blocks). Junior Dylan Osetkowski leads the Longhorns with 13.7 points while junior Kerwin Roach II adds 12.3 points, 3.7 assists and 1.4 steals. Freshman guard Matt Coleman, coming off a career-high 22 points in Saturday's overtime upset of West Virginia, adds 9.5 points and a team-best 4.2 assists.

BETTING STATS:

BETTING ACTION AND MOVES: The Longhorns hit the board as 6-point favorites in this first round matchup, but that number was quickly bet down to the current number of -5.5. That may indicate some sharp play, as the early public is all over Texas, according to our Covers Consensus. The total hit betting boards at 136.5.

MATCHUP CHART:

TRENDS:

* Iowa State is 1-4 ATS in its last five games overall.
* Texas is 5-11-1 ATS in its last 17 neutral site games.
* Over is 9-1 in Iowa State's last 10 neutral site games.
* Over is 5-2 in Texas' last seven games following an ATS win.
* Iowa State is 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings.

Pac-12 Conference Tournament First Round betting preview and odds

The first round of the Pac-12 Tournament gets underway at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Without an opening round bye, the eight teams involved in Wednesday's action in Sin City have a long, hard road ahead if they hope to be involved in the big dance next week.

Tournament to be played at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Arizona State Sun Devils vs Colorado Buffaloes (+7, 147)

For all of its impressive numbers and notable accomplishments this season, including a top-five national ranking for most of December and the program’s first 20-win season in four years, Arizona State isn’t a lock to play in its first NCAA Tournament since 2014. The Sun Devils finished a disappointing ninth in the Pac-12 and will tip off the conference tourney on Wednesday afternoon against eighth-seeded Colorado at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

After a 12-0 non-conference start, which included a 102-86 neutral-site victory over No. 2 Xavier and a 95-85 road win over No. 9 Kansas, Arizona State lost three of its first four Pac-12 games and never fully recovered. Behind high-scoring senior guard Tra Holder (18.6 points per game) and Shannon Evans II (16.7), the Sun Devils did win six of its nine conference contests after the 1-3 start, but then dropped four of their last five games to end the regular season and finished .500 or worse in Pac-12 play for the fourth straight season.

Colorado staggered to the finish in the regular season, dropping four of its last five games to enter postseason play only two games above .500. The Buffaloes have notched some big wins, most notably an 80-77 home win over Arizona on Jan. 6 and a season sweep of UCLA, but they’ve certainly also had their share of struggles, enduring three separate three-game losing streaks since an 8-3 start. Point guard McKinley Wright (team-leading 14.2 points and 5.3 assists) has been a steadying force all season and was an easy choice for the five-man Pac-12 All-Freshman team.

BETTING STATS:

BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVEMENT:

Arizona State opened as 7-point favorites and the total hit betting boards at 147. As of Tuesday evening neither number has moved up or down.

MATCHUP CHART:

TRENDS:

California Golden Bears vs Stanford Cardinal (-9.5, 144)

Most experts don’t have Stanford arriving as an NCAA Tournament team until next year, but the Cardinal would prefer to expedite that timeline. The fifth-seeded Cardinal figure to be a dangerous opponent at this week’s Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas, where they’ll face No. 12 California in a first-round matchup on Wednesday.

Stanford closed the regular season by winning four of its last five games, including a 77-73 victory over Cal in Berkeley on Feb. 18. Coach Jerod Haase has four freshmen in his rotation, but the offense revolves around junior forward Reid Travis, who was named to the All-Pac-12 first team for the second consecutive season after finishing third in the Pac-12 in scoring (19.6 points per game) and fourth in rebounding (8.2).

Cal owns the league’s worst offense and defense but stunned Stanford on Dec. 30 with a 77-74 victory in the Pac-12 opener at Maples Pavilion. The Bears set the school’s single-season record for losses and finished alone in last place in the conference for the first time since 1979-80, but freshmen Juhwan Harris-Dyson, Darius McNeill and Justice Sueing offer coach Wyking Jones reason for optimism. Sueing averaged a team-high 15.8 points and 5.7 rebounds in league play, while McNeill has made 62 three-pointers, one shy of a Cal freshman record. Senior forward Marcus Lee averaged 17.0 points and 8.0 rebounds in the two previous meetings against Stanford and will need another big game Wednesday to help keep Cal’s upset hopes alive.

BETTING STATS:

BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVEMENT:

Stanford opened as 9.5-point favorites and the total hit betting boards at 144. Neither the pointspread or the total have moved as of Tuesday evening.

MATCHUP CHART:

TRENDS:

* Golden Bears are 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 neutral site games.
* Cardinal are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.
* Under is 12-3 in Golden Bears' last 15 vs. Pacific-12.
* Over is 4-1 in Cardinal's last 5 vs. Pacific-12.
* Golden Bears are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Oregon St. Beavers vs Washington Huskies (+2.5, 141)

Two teams that closed the regular season on very different notes meet Wednesday in the first round of the Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas as seventh-seeded Washington faces 10th-seeded Oregon State. The Huskies fell onto the NCAA Tournament bubble with five losses in their last eight games, while Oregon State gained some much-needed momentum by winning two of its final three games. The teams split two regular-season matchups, with Oregon State winning 97-94 in Corvallis on Feb. 10 before the Huskies answered with last Thursday’s 79-77 victory in Seattle.

Huskies forward Noah Dickerson, who scored a team-high 25 points in last week’s win, received All-Pac-12 first team honors after averaging 15.4 points and 8.4 rebounds while shooting 56.6 percent from the field. Washington was at 17-6 following a sweep of the Arizona schools last month but struggled down the stretch. The Huskies’ resume includes a road win at Kansas, a home win over Arizona and a road win at USC, but they likely need a deep run in Las Vegas in order to reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2011.

Oregon State sophomore forward Tres Tinkle, an All-Pac-12 first team selection, leads the Beavers in points (18.0 per game), rebounds (7.2) and assists (3.8). The Beavers had four scorers in double figures against Washington State last Saturday, including freshman guard Ethan Thompson, who finished with a career-high 23 points and six assists. The Beavers are shooting 54.5 percent from the field over the last three games and rank second in the Pac-12 in scoring defense at 70.8 points allowed per contest.

BETTING STATS:

BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVEMENT:

Oregon State opened as 2.5-point favorites and the total hit betting boards at 141.

MATCHUP CHART:

TRENDS:

* Beavers are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up win.
* Huskies are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 neutral site games.
* Over is 7-3 in Beavers' last 10 vs. Pacific-12.
* Under is 24-6 in Huskies' last 30 vs. Pacific-12.
* Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.

Washington St. Cougars vs Oregon Ducks (-12, 150)

Never mind a return trip to the Final Four. Making it to the semifinals of the Pac-12 Tournament would be a strong step this March for sixth-seeded Oregon, which faces 11th-seeded Washington State late Wednesday night in the opening round of the conference tourney at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The Ducks wrapped up their eighth straight 20-win season with Saturday’s 72-64 win at Washington in the regular-season finale, but that’s about the only similarity to last season’s 33-6 squad which lost to eventual-champion North Carolina in the national semifinals. Only one starter – sophomore point guard Payton Pritchard – is back from last season’s upperclassman-dominated team, which won the Pac-12 regular-season title and wound up setting the program’s single-season record for wins. The Ducks’ 10 Pac-12 wins matched the program’s fewest in a conference season over the last seven campaigns.

Washington State, meanwhile, did clip the visiting Ducks (78-76) last Thursday, but won just six of their final 24 games after a 6-0 start to finish above only 2-16 California in the conference. The unquestioned bright spot for the Cougars this season has been forward Robert Franks, who nearly tripled his scoring average (6.3 to 17.4 points per game) and doubled his rebound output (3.3 to 6.7) from a season ago to earn Pac-12 Most Improved Player honors.

BETTING STATS:

BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVEMENT:

Oregon opened as big 12-point favorites and the total hit betting boards at 150.

MATCHUP CHART:

TRENDS:

* Cougars are 3-14 ATS in their last 17 games after allowing more than 90 points in their previous game.
* Ducks are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.
* Over is 5-0 in Cougars' last 5 vs. Pacific-12.
* Over is 7-3 in Ducks' last 10 neutral site games.
