Just like the economy, DeMore's liver and Rihanna's face, JBP has fallen upon hard times, losing four plays in a row, with perhaps our most brutal beat of the year coming on Tuesday, when Wyoming managed to turn a double-digit lead into a ten-point loss against the Stormin' Mormons.
Our winning percentage, therefore, has dropped to 57.6 percent, which is still respectable but not what we are all about here in the Playhouse. It's alright. We simply have to get back on the horse and be as smart as possible. And we have no doubt that we are going to do that today.
JBP to date: 53-39 (57.6 percent)
Today's (Super)plays: Cal +7 @ ASU; Arizona -6.5 vs. Stanford; W. Virginia -2.5 vs. Louisville; No. Iowa -1.5 vs. Bradley; Boise St. -1.5 vs. Nevada.
The linemakers should be embarrassed by this Cal-ASU line. If I weren't a graduate, I'd put my ever-dwindling 401K on the Bears, who shoot threes well and have good guards, two things ASU has had trouble dealing with all season (see their loss to Baylor and Washington twice). The Sun Devils have no business being a favorite in this game, let alone by seven points.
Arizona's 27-year NCAA tournament streak is on the line here. This is just a hunch that they come with everything they have today.
West Virginia can beat anybody in Morgantown, where just two weeks they drilled Villanova. Basically all the Mountaineers have to do is win and I'd take them at home in that scenario against virtually anyone in the country outside of UConn, North Carolina and Pitt.
No. Iowa doesn't blow anyone out, but they win. Considering how short this number is, we're comfortable.
Nevada has been playing well, but Boise is a really tough place to play. JBP loves this play.
