Thurs Pac-10

[erac]

Anyone here follow Pac-10 closely and have thoughts on the thursday schedule?

Ariz St at UCLA -1.5
Ariz -9.5 at USC
Cal -1 at Was
Stan -7.5 at Was St.

Obviously UCLA pops out at me since they are favored. UCLA beat Was and Was St. 98-83 and 77-67 (both on the road) in the past few weeks while Ariz St. beat both teams 96-55 and 89-57 at home - those are pretty big ass kickings. I've already seen a few services advertising a big PAC 10 selection today. Power ratings also give Ariz St. around a 4-7 pt advantage. Based on the above, Ariz St. may be a pretty big play for me today but wanted to see if anyone had thoughts since I don't follow the PAC 10 very closely.

Thanks in advance.

Love Arizona State. That is from a purely research and statistical point of view I don't "follow" PAC 10 religiously.Stanford and California I like and Arizona I really don't like unless they get down to a 6 or 7.Just an opinion from my studies.GOODLUCK!

Looking at Cal but its off the board right now.

Thanks for the input. Concern on UCLA is whether they will be rallying around the coach and how Lavin's situation affects the team. As the season goes on I will no doubt watch them to see if they open a big can of quit down the road. Will probably avoid Cal due to the injury concerns.
