TOM STRYKER’S FREE BASKETBALL SELECTION SATURDAY, MARCH 9TH
#657 COLORADO ST (-10′) over Air Force at 4 PM EST
Off the home win over rival Wyoming, Colorado State will travel to Colorado Springs and tune up for the Mountain West Conference Tournament with a strong performance over Air Force. The Falcons limp into this matchup off three consecutive straight up conference losses to the Broncos, Aggies, and Cowboys, and they’ll get run out of the gym by the Rams in this battle.
Historically speaking, CSU has owned this series inking a strong 27-5 SU and 21-9-2 ATS record in its last 32 games. In this run playing on the road, head coach Niko Medved and his troops improve to a lucrative 11-2 SU and 9-2-2 ATS. Equally impressive, when priced as a road favorite of -7 or more, the Rams hold a powerful 21-3 SU and 16-8 ATS mark including a solid 14-2 SU and 13-3 ATS provided they hold a team won/loss percentage of .670 or better. Lastly, when favored and arriving with steam off a straight up win, Colorado State holds a reliable 11-2 SU and 9-4 ATS tally in its last 13 games.
Carrying a weak 11-27 SU and 12-26 ATS record in its last 38 battles, Air Force is having all kinds of trouble on the basketball court right now. In this setting rolling with four or more days of rest, the Falcons hold a rough 4-17 SU and ATS mark including an ugly 0-12 SU and 1-11 ATS in their last 11 in this situation. Even worse, as a conference host, the Flyboys have been a poor investment posting a stiff 13-37 SU and 14-35-1 ATS tally including a filthy 4-12 SU and 2-14 ATS provided their opponent enters with four or more days of rest. Finally, when running the court with same season single revenge, AFA sports a feeble 9-39 SU and 17-30-1 ATS record including a miserable 3-20 SU and 3-20-1 ATS if their foe carries a team won/loss percentage from .540 to .780.
With a full seven days to prepare for this MWC contest, Coach Medved and the Rams will have no trouble extending the margin in this mismatch. Take Colorado State. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
