Washington State has won and covered 4 of their last 5 contests including a dominating performance on Wednesday against conference rival Utah. Senior Isaac Jones had a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds in a 79-57 victory that pushed the Cougars’ overall record to 14-6 and 5-4 in conference play.

It should be noted that Colorado has won 5 of the last 6 meetings against Washington State including a 74-67 New Year’s Eve victory, narrowly covering as 6 ½ point home favorites according to the major online sports betting sites like BetUS.

The Wildcats have hit a rough patch in their schedule, having split their last four games with the latest being a jaw-dropping 83-80 loss to Oregon State as 18½-point road favorites. There’s little doubt that stunning defeat will have a deleterious effect on their No. 9 ranking regardless of the outcome of their Saturday night tango with Oregon.

The Ducks reeled off six straight wins before hitting the road and losing to Colorado and Utah. However, it appeared they needed a little home cooking as they returned to Eugene and trounced Arizona State, 80-61, easily covering as 9 ½ point home favorites according to the NCAAB lines at the time of the game. Oregon is now undefeated at home, 14-5 overall, and 6-2 in conference play propelling them to the top of the Pac-12 standings.

Although Arizona is the only nationally ranked team in the conference, it should be noted that Oregon has dominated this rivalry in recent memory. If you have been including the Ducks in your NCAAB picks over their last 10 meetings with Arizona then you’ve been fattening your bankroll as Oregon has won and covered 8 of their last 10 meetings with the Cats.

Utah has lost 4 of its last 7 games including a 79-57 setback to Washington State on Wednesday as 22½-point –

Senior center Branden Carlson led all scorers with 20 points but it was not enough as the Cougars owned the glass, out-rebounding the Utes, 40-29, en route to the 22-point win.

Washington has dropped 3 of their last 4 contests with the latest setback coming at the hands of Colorado in which the Buffaloes thumped the Huskies, 98-81, as three-point home dogs. But as dismal as their performance was it should be noted that Washington has been money in the bank for their backers when they tip off against Utah, having covered in 6 of their last 7 meetings.
