Colorado -4.5 [2.2 units]
Buffaloes are 4-1 SU after a loss this season in conference play. While score in both regular meeting was close, on second look, both matches were after Colorado wins against Oregon [perfect spots for letdowns].
Oregon St fans are divided over Coach Robinson’s decision to drop now sulking Ahmad Starks for Challe Barton because of his inefficiency. Starks is a perimeter catch & shoot player who doesn’t take the ball to the basket and barely distribute. Consequently teams starting cramping his real estate and he just couldn’t get off. Even though Barton is opposite of Starks, defensive problem has been constant for this team in conference play, Colorado allows 45.9% FG [3rd best in conf..] and Beavers allows 51.3% [11th in conf..]
Colorado shots 46.3% in conference [dead last], but are 3rd best in taking the ball to the basket, in conjunction with Beavers’s lack of defence, I expected better FG% shooting for Colorado.After Colorado lost to the Beavers (14-17, 4-14) last weekend, Colorado coach Tad Boyle apologized over the P.A. system.
With the defensive skill of Colorado squad and extra effort off a loss to today’s opponent, look for Buffaloes to come out sharp on the defensive end thus negating anything Beavers bring offensively.
