USC (5-2, 3-4 ATS) at (6) Oklahoma (6-0, 3-1 ATS)
Unbeaten Oklahoma, coming off a five-day hiatus and playing its first home game in nearly two weeks, takes on Southern Cal as part of the Big 12/Pac-10 Hardwood Series.
The Sooners outlasted then 10th-ranked Purdue 87-82 in overtime in Friday’s championship game of the NIT Season Tip-Off, winning and cashing as a two-point pup at Madison Square Garden. Star forward Blake Griffin (25.7 ppg, 19.7 rpg) had 18 points and an astounding 21 rebounds, giving him a double-double in every game this season. Guard Willie Warren had 22 points to lead five Oklahoma players in double figures.
The Trojans fended off San Francisco 74-69 Monday for their second straight win, but they failed to cash as a heavy 16½-point home chalk. Leading scorer Dwight Lewis (16.6 ppg) had 26 points, and the guard is shooting 49.4 percent from the field (35.7 percent from 3-point range). Fellow guard Daniel Hackett (10.1 ppg, 6.1 apg) added 18 points and six assists against the Dons.
These two teams met last December, with USC claiming a 66-55 win as a 5½-point home favorite.
The Sooners are 1-4 ATS in their last five Thursday contests, but they are on ATS surges of 9-3 outside the Big 12, 5-2 at home and 11-5 in Norman against teams with a losing road record. The Trojans are on positive pointspread runs of 4-1 after a non-cover and 20-8 on the road, but they are on ATS slides of 0-5 against winning teams, 0-4 after a SU win and 0-4 on Thursday.
The over for Oklahoma is on streaks of 4-1-1 overall and 9-2-1 in non-conference action, but the under for USC on runs of 28-12 outside the Pac-10, 10-4 after a non-cover and 10-1 on the road following three or more home games.
ATS ADVANTAGE: OKLAHOMA
(12) UCLA (4-1, 2-3 ATS) at (8) Texas (5-1, 3-2 ATS)
UCLA goes for its third straight win and cover when it travels to Austin to take on Texas in another Big 12/Pac-10 Hardwood Series contest.
The Bruins are coming off Saturday’s 89-54 rout of Florida International as a 24-point home chalk, cashing for the second consecutive game after an 0-3 ATS skid to open the season. Leading scorer Darren Collison (15.0 ppg) had just 11 points, but the guard added 11 assists, and guard Jrue Holiday added 20 points and is now shooting a sterling 63.9 percent from the field, including 45.5 percent from 3-point range.
The Longhorns rolled past Rice 77-56 Sunday but couldn’t cover as a healthy 26-point home favorite, falling to 1-2 ATS in their last three starts. A.J. Abrams (15.8 ppg) had just 10 points but played only 24 minutes in the rout, and Justin Mason had 14 points to lead four Texas players in double figures. The Longhorns shot 49.1 percent from the field, while holding the Owls to a stifling 33.3 percent.
Texas went to Pauley Pavilion last December as part of the Hardwood Series and shocked UCLA 63-61 as a 10-point road ‘dog.
The Bruins are on ATS runs of 11-4 on Thursday and 35-16-1 on the highway, but they are on pointspread skids of 1-6 against the Big 12, 1-6 after a spread-cover, 2-5 after a SU win and 2-5 against winning teams.
The Longhorns are 1-5 ATS in their last six Thursday starts, but they are on an 8-2 ATS tear against Pac-10 foes and are on further spread-covering runs of 7-2 after a SU win of more than 20 points and 5-2-1 after a pointspread setback.
The under is on runs of 4-0 for UCLA on the road, 5-1 for the Bruins against the Big 12 and 15-7 for Texas at home, but the over is on streaks of 6-2 for UCLA overall and 6-2 for Texas after a SU win.
ATS ADVANTAGE: TEXAS
