Oklahoma Sooners vs. Oklahoma St Cowboys [ESPN360 | 7:00 PM ET]

Sooners: Oklahoma enters the Big 12 tournament reeling, as they are quite simply in terrible form. Oklahoma has lost their past 8 games SU, the longest streak in the past 41 years of Sooners basketball. Oklahoma is only 13-17 SU this season, and will finish the season with a losing record for the 1st time in 29 years. Coach Jeff Capel is having to answer alot of questions about his job security, yet he is taking full responsibility for the team. A huge reason why Oklahoma was unsuccessful this season was their play away from home. The Sooners were only 2-13 SU and 5-10 ATS on the road this season. Oklahoma was 6-9 ATS this season as the listed underdog. Oklahoma closed the regular season being listed as the underdog in each of their last 7 games. 2 of the top 4 scorers for Oklahoma are out, so much of the burden falls on G Tommy Mason-Griffin. He is the current Sooners leader in both PPG and APG, averaging 13.9 PPG and 4.8 APG. The Sooners split the season series with the Cowboys, yet allowed 97 PTS in their latest matchup in defeat.

Sooners are 3-9 ATS last 12 games overall.
Over is 5-0 last 5 games following a double digit loss at home.

Key Injuries - G Willie Warren (ankle) is out.
F Tiny Gallon (suspension) is doubtful.

PROJECTED SCORE: 65

Cowboys (-7, O/U 143.5): Oklahoma St. enters the Big 12 conference tournament as the 7th seed thanks to a 9-7 SU league record. The Cowboys have beaten both Kansas and Kansas St. SU this season, as they've proven that when they are hot they can beat anybody in the nation. Overall, Oklahoma St. finished the regular season at 21-9 SU and 14-9-1 ATS. The Cowboys were 6-8 both SU and ATS away from home this season. Since Thanksgiving, Oklahoma St. has had the exact same result both SU and ATS this season. Oklahoma St. was 9-1 ATS as a single digit favorite this season. The Cowboys have put up some big offensive totals this season, but have been held to 74 PTS or fewer in 3 of their past 4 games. Star G James Anderson has done his part however, as he led the Big 12 in scoring this season with 22.9 PPG. Anderson had 17 games where he scored at least 25 PTS this season.

Cowboys are 4-0 ATS last 4 games vs. a team with a losing SU record.
Under is 6-1 last 7 neutral site games.

Key Injuries - G Ray Penn (leg) is out.
F Teeng Akol (wrist) is out.

PROJECTED SCORE: 81 (SIDE of the Day)



Washington St Cougars vs. Oregon Ducks [FSN | 11:10 PM ET]

Cougars (-1, O/U 133.5): Washington St. is certainly not in their finest form, as they've lost 6 of their past 7 games SU entering the Pac 10 conference tournament. Washington St. has lost both games against Oregon this year by a total of 10 PTS. The Cougars would like nothing more than to get their revenge when the stakes are highest. The biggest reason why the Cougars only went 6-12 SU in conference play was their shooting. The Cougars shot less than 30% from behind the arc in Pac-10 play. Washington St. finished the regular season with a record of 16-14 SU. In all likelyhood, the Cougars will be playing in either the NIT or another postseason tournament not named the NCAA Tournament. After starting the season 10-2 SU, the Cougars were 6-12 SU since Christmas. The Cougars were only 3-9 SU and 5-7 ATS in true road games this season. Luckily, the Cougars were 4-0 SU and 2-2 ATS in neutral court settings this season. G Klay Thompson is literally the entire offense for Washington St, as he averages a team high 19.6 PPG. Thompson attempts nearly 16 shots per game this season, shooting only 41% from the field this season.

Cougars are 1-5 ATS last 6 vs. Pacific 10 conference.
Over is 4-0 last 4 neutral site games.

Key Injuries - F Charlie Enquist (ankle) is questionable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 71

Ducks: Don't look now, but Oregon enters the conference tournament with a bit of momentum. Oregon has won 3 of their past 4 games SU, and are facing an opponent they've had success against this season. Optimism is rather high for a team that finished the regular season at 15-15 SU. Oregon was 4-7 SU and 5-6 ATS on the road this season. This will be the 1st game this entire season that the Ducks will be playing on a neutral floor. Oregon enters the conference tournament as the #8 seed, thanks to a 7-11 SU record. Coach Ernie Kent is battling rumors that he has already been fired, but he believes the Ducks have 1 more run in them before his personal future is decided. Oregon was 6-8 ATS as the listed underdog this season, and will have to improve those numbers if they are to indeed make a splash over the next 4 days. Senior G Tajuan Porter will likely have to carry this Ducks team, as he has the athleticism and experience necessary for such a task. Porter is one of only 2 Ducks averaging double digits in PTS, averaging a team high 11.9 PPG this season. Porter has found his offensive stroke of late, as he's averaging nearly 19 PPG over his past 4 games.

Ducks are 1-6 ATS last 7 neutral site games.
Over is 10-3 last 13 games following a SU win.

Key Injuries - G Nicholas Fearn (stomach) is out.
F Joevan Catron (back) is doubtful.

PROJECTED SCORE: 72 (OVER - Total of the Day)

Len's Top 5

Happy Wednesday everyone, here's my Top 5 for March 10, 2010 from Len Berman.

1. Quick Hits

Tiger Woods is working with his swing coach. That probably signals his return to golf in the near future.
The Mets got what they hope is good medical news. It looks like Jose Reyes has a treatable overactive thyroid.
Two time world champion, Dodgers centerfielder Willie Davis is dead at the age of 69.
Disgraced sprinter. 34-year old Marion Jones is joining the Tulsa Shock in the WNBA.
Rikers Island announces the first ever "Pinstripe Bowl" in December. No wait. It's the Yankees.
Every human competitor in the Iditarod race will be tested for drugs. The dogs are free to ingest whatever they want.

2. A-t Ease

OK, I know you're sick of hearing about A-Rod, but the story isn't going away. Alex Rodriguez said yesterday he is "at ease" in his relationship with a Canadian doctor who is under investigation in two countries. But if everything is kosher, how come the Yankees didn't know that Rodriguez saw the doctor? And why didn't A-Rod's hip surgeon know either? It strains credulity to think that everything is on the up and up. And we thought A-Rod would be all about baseball after last season.

3. Head Cases

Interesting how blows to the head have become the hot button issue in sports. It's a major talking point in the NFL. And now it's spreading. The NHL is considering the banning of some blows to the head. Why not all blows as some hockey leagues have done? The NHL allows shoulder hits to the head and is considering a ban on "blind side" shoulder hits. In other words, if a player sees it coming, it's OK if he gets his brain scrambled.

4. The Sound Of One Hand Clapping

If you only have one leg, how come you have to buy a pair of sneakers? That's the question Phil Moore couldn't get answered in Britain. So, fed up with buying a pair and throwing one away, he stole a Nike trainer from a sporting goods store. But you have another problem when you only have one leg. It's hard to make a fast getaway. He quickly got caught and was fined for his transgression.

5. Lets Go Mets

The Mets slogan this season is "We Believe in Comebacks." Subscriber Jared G. thinks he has some better ideas:
5. Thyroid, Shmyroid
4. The Yankees Don't Have Shake Shack!
3. The 2010 Mets: We Promise We Don't Suck as Bad As Last Year
2. The 2010 Mets: Healthy since March, 2010 (except for a few injuries and endocrine problems)
And the number one slogan the Mets should have considered:
1. Hey, at Least We're Not Owned By The Dolans!
Damn, I hate it when my subscribers are more clever than I.

Happy Birthday: Gymnast Shannon Miller. 33.
Bonus Birthday: Basic Instinct actress Sharon Stone. 52.

Today in Sports: A sign of things to come. Pete Rose makes his debut in spring training and gets hits his first two times up. 1963.
Bonus Event: Alexander Graham Bell utters the first words over a telephone, "Mr. Watson, come here, I want you." 1876.
