Oregon State vs Santa Clara Prediction
Oregon State just doesn’t have the offensive firepower to hang with Santa Clara. It’s that simple. We saw Oregon State lose to Santa Clara at home back in December, 102-64. I’d argue Santa Clara is even better now. Santa Clara is top-100 in scoring and field goal percentage, and there’s nothing the Beavers can do if those shots fall. Santa Clara needs this game to keep pace in the WCC seeding. Thick line but for good reason. There’s a serious gap in talent and scoring ability. Give me Santa Clara in a comfortable home win.
Randy Chambers's Pick: Santa Clara -17
