Anyone have 1 reason why Colorado doesn't win this game, outside of playing in front the crowd of 500 people at the Galen Center tonight??

I went to USC and have 10 reasons to bet against USC. I have bet against us 3 times this year and won all 3 games. We were favored at home against Arizona and only 2 pt underdogs to UCLA and got killed by both games. We were 5.5 pt underdogs to Kansas and got killed. We don't have a guy capable of blowing up like a Lebryan Nash last night. Maurice Jones is our best scorer and he is 5'6". Aaron Fuller was good when playing, and was our leading rebounder, and he is out for the year. Unless, Nick Young, OJ Mayo and Demar Derozan got reinstated, I don't see how we get a win in the Pac-12 which is a bad conference this year for hoops. I think we literally could lose to Towson on any given night.Comment -

I agree, I'm not scared of this play. Put me down .........Comment -
The only thing that jumps out at me is colorado is 1-3 on the road this year, and their lone win came against a not very good air force team by 3 points.Comment -
I'm going to refer to the Colorado/Wyoming game here for a bit of reference. In that Wyoming game, if you don't have guards that look to penetrate rather than take the outside jump shot, you're going to struggle as Colorado does against these types. USC's defense is very similar to Wyoming's. If you can't penetrate, then you're playing right into their hands.
And that's what I think happens tonight. USC's been playing terribly, but this is actually a game where they have an advantage. They welcome in a jump shooting team that they can defend.
Size isn't all that big of an issue in a game like this that will be played slow, as Colorado is going to have to hit some outside shots.
I don't necessarily think backing USC is all that good of an idea with that offense, but they will have some nice opportunities as you alluded to the size in the paint.Comment -
I haven't seen much of Colorado games, but anything that can go wrong for USC does. They find a way to lose games and not cover the spread. Just by the record, it seems as if Colorado has turned a corner. I know they were close to the end in the Cal game. USC has no home court advantage as there will be a small crowd. O'Neill has criticized his players and told reporters from the beginning of the year this team is not going to be good. He said Maurice Jones is not a point guard, but he is all we got. That's not a good thing to say. I don't even think USC's defense is that amazing. If you hold the ball for 35 seconds every possession, you get into a choppy game. UCLA had no problem scoring against USC. I just think USC is phoning it in, the players have no confidence.
LockPick- That is good insight though, i appreciate it, if you had to bet on this game, what side would you be on?Comment
