Why is it that every time we turn on a Brigham Young basketball game late at night we expect to see Danny Ainge running around in his tiny shorts? He’s been out of school for 37 years (!!!) and boy, doesn’t that make us feel old.
This BYU team is 8-7 and struggling after a 5-1 start. They have lost three straight and covered just four or their last 11. Pacific has won five out of its last six and has been spreading the ball around: Five different players have led the Tigers in scoring over their last five games. We like balance. In fact, we like balance so much, we’re gonna balance a handful of dollar bills on the money line. Take that, Danny Ainge!
Pick: Pacific to win (+$170)
