Arizona vs Oregon State

Oregon State - 63
Arizona (home) - 76

The line was Arizona (-16.5), so they didn't cover the spread. O/U was 126.5, so the over was the winner. If I had bet on this game, I would have taken Arizona and/or the under and lost on both. At least I've still got that losing skill!

I watched some of the second half of this game. Oregon State was actually winning at half time 32-26, which is impressive given the fact that they just aren't that good. In the first half they did a much better job of slowing the game down, but couldn't hold on as Arizona scored 50 second half points. Chase Buddinger on Arizona is the real deal, which kills me to say.

I should also note that Arizona was playing without their leading scorer (Jerryd Bayless, freshman point guard), but got good replacement production from Nic Wise (7-9 shooting).
