Colorado at Oregon State

Folks in Corvalis were looking forward to this season as they returned a ton of talent from last season'ss team. Some even expected them to be the suprise team in the PAC-10 this season. Funny thing happened on the way to the church though. Players began falling like snow flakes in late fall. Nick DeWitz became academically ineligible, All PAC-10 forward Lucas is out indefinitely with an injury, and shooting guard Angelo Tsagarkis is also out with injury. Therefore, what looked to be a deep and talented team at the get go, is seriously hurt and missing its top player and three of its top six. They host a Colorado team that is deeper than one can remember in Boulder. Patton's sqaud has looked good in the early going beating College of Charleston and Northwestern at home, and losing to Michigan on the road. OSU has not been a great home team by any stretch in recent seasons. The Beavers are 8-19 ATS in home games when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 80%) since 1997. I think that continues here. Two stars on the Buffs in Corvallis.
