Good lord -- Obama & family are having a tough week. Brown wins the MA Senate seat and now Oregon State scores only 35 points on 37% shooting and only 18 rebounds. They also had 18 turnovers and only 2 assists in their 35-59 loss to Stanford.
Loyola Marymount got doubled up by Portland (39-79) with 21% shooting and 20 TOs. They had 31% beyond the arc but were only 3 of 26 inside the 3-point line. Ouch.
Pepperdine is a 24.5 point underdog but comes within 7 of the 'zags.
Cal Poly (-1) beats UC Riverside by 2 and covers.
Butler beats Loyola (IL) by only 1 and fails to cover (-11.5)
