Oregon State at Utah prediction: One huge advantage will swing Pac-12 matchup

It’s one other jam-packed school hoops slate Thursday and BJ Cunningham is right here to present you two finest bets (video above).

Cunningham is westward-bound for each picks, starting with a PAC-12 convention matchup between the Utah Utes and Oregon State Beavers.

Regardless that the Utes are within the midst of an intensive dropping streak, Cunningham believes that is the time to purchase low on Craig Smith’s squad, particularly with heart Branden Carlson again within the lineup.

“Utah may have one HUGE benefit offensively,” Cunningham stated. “They’re within the high 15 p.c of faculty basketball in pick-and-roll offense whereas Oregon State is within the backside 10 p.c in pick-and-roll protection.”

With Utah with the ability to rating “at will,” Cunningham expects the Utes to get the win and canopy a six-and-a-half level unfold.

The following matchup Cunningham is focusing on is UC San Diego vs. Cal State Northridge.

Cunningham believes UC San Diego is undervalued on this matchup away from house, particularly contemplating it is likely one of the best offenses within the nation (seventh highest rim and three-point fee per shot high quality).

Given how poorly Cal State Northridge ranks out in key defensive metrics – the Matadors are outdoors the top-300 in two-point field-goal share allowed and field-goal share allowed on the rim – Cunningham likes the Tritons -4 and would play all of it the way in which as much as -6.
