    USC-5 Over UCLA

    UCLA always has problems with their crosstown rivals.

    I like the Trojans a lot here.

    Good Luck

    i was looking at this too....do you follow these teams? I was thinkin about taking trojans ML, for a fairly large amount but don't know if I wanna do that with such a rivalry...USC has won 3 straight against them. Games are usually close tho, not sure about it here

    Yes I follow the Pac 10 closer than other conferences. This confrence is just as weak as recent years with the exception of both Washington schools. I think the money line is a very safe play too. Good Luck

    My thinking's the same as yours, Dankfire, plus I watched UCLA lose at home to UW and did not come away impressed, so I'll be right there with you.

    Although I did tease USC down to -1 so I just had to worry about the win. Paired it with Xavier(+6) @ Rhode Island who won outright by 27.

    Earlier had Minnesota +20 @ Ohio State (Gophers missed a three at the buzzer to tie, lost 67-64), paired that with Missouri State +9 @ Wichita State (MSU won outright 59-56)

    So you add that up and I've been covering by about an average of 20 pts a game. So I'm feeling pretty money about this one.

    thanks for the opinions guys...yeah, I haven't followed the pac10 as closely this year as I would like. My gut tells me that USC wins this straight up, not so sure about the spread though. Nelson and UCLA do scare me though, they played a really good game at Kansas (as did USC tho) and really aren't that bad of a team I think. I'll watch this one but no play for me...appreciate the prompt responses and the opinions, in particular Dank Fire. BOL to you all

    Alex Stephenson?!? That dude is still in college? Jesus. Seems like I remember him sucking it up at UNC 8 years ago. Well let's hope for our sake he's learned how to block out and hit his free throws.

    Yeah, I saw their game log. But didn't see the game. So I didn't get the chance to see them as failures like I saw the Bruins. I thought Howland was a good coach? What happened?

    Figured if they both lose, well then you go with the home team. USC's at home tonight.

    BACK TO BACK THREES!

    And the band is playing "All Right Now" HELL YEAH.

    I just looked at the numbers, and Stephenson is shooting 48% from the line. His FG% is 57%. How often does a guy shoot a lower percentage at the stripe than from the floor? Someone contact Elias.

    I gotta hand it to the Trojans, they've got a pretty nice lockerroom for a program that's never done dick.

    This site rocks. They've got everything. I think it's based out of Australia. Keep it on the DL though. Pretty sure they won't keep it free if they start getting a million hits every day.

    Hey Dank, you say you watch a lot of Pac-10 right? Is it me or is the color guy about a million times better than the normal guy Fox has? Is that Steve Kerr?

    As usual great research by jjgold. UCLA road scoring defense is 302 best in the country. I have never seen someone hand around the message board so much and not know anything. You should spend your time handicapping and not posting so much!

    Hey Dank, what do you west coast folks think of Johnny Dawkins?

    Im here at the USC and its one of the best arenas. But yea your right, Alex CANT shoot to save his life. But he has become a better passer and gets the ball to cutters and open shooters. But yea 5 points is too many points to lay for this type of game. I actually would take +5 because i think this will be a very very close game. I jsut stayed from it and im about to go enjoy the game


    And its a shame we just cant recruit players lol

    So is it good or bad news that USC's best player in the first half was a Serbian that looks like a cross between that punk from One Tree Hill and Jose Canseco?
