Vegas Play of the Day: Washington State at Colorado

Here’s the latest installment of the Play of the Day, which uses odds from the South Point. Our three sports writers started with a $10,000 bankroll — fictional, of course.

Washington State plus-9 at Colorado: $550 to win $500 : With more than 100 college basketball games on the betting board today, oddsmakers are surely going to make some errors. Having Colorado has a 9-point favorite is definitely a mistake.

Colorado has struggled with guard play all season and enters on a four-game losing streak. The Buffs are 250th nationally with 11.7 assists per game and rank 210th in scoring at 66 points per game. Yet, they are favored by nearly double digits.

The teams enter with identical 9-9 records, but Washington State has Pac-12 Conference wins against Washington, Oregon and Cal. And Washington State has senior DaVonte Lacy, who averages 18 points per game and will be impossible for Colorado to contain.

Standings: Bern (64-54-1, $12,166), Keefer (62-62-2, $10,367), Brewer (57-61-3, $7,085)
