Pacific played santa clara earlier this season (11/22/09) and won easily 84-57. Pacific led 33-23 at half time and thus easily covered the first half spread. Pacific also covered the 2nd half spread by outscoring santa clara 51-34. Pacfic is a better rebounding team than santa clara as they outrebounded santa clara 38-27. Bad news for santa clara is that they lost their leading scorer, kevin foster, for the season. Foster scored 22 points in that loss to Pacific earlier this season. He was the only player to be in double figures for santa clara for that game. Foster was 5 for 16 from 3 point range and 7 for 23 overall for the game. Seems like he is a ball hog. NObody else on pacific took more than 7 shots.
Betting strategy:
Pacific -2.5 (1st half) for 5 units
Pacific should cover the first half spread of this game. IF they do not, I would take pacific in the 2nd half for 10 units. Pacific wins this game by 10 plus points. I like pacific to cover this game especially after losing to st mary's 80-65 on friday night.
