The Pac-12 conference tournament has reached its semi-finals tonight as Colorado and California battle to meet the winner of Oregon State and Arizona tomorrow.

These two split the season series this year as both teams took care of business at home. Colorado managed to go 2-0 ATS though as they kept it within 13.5 on the road and won by 13 at home as three point underdogs. Both games were relatively lower scoring (neither finished with more than 127 total points) so what should bettors expect tonight?

Well, both teams had tough games last night to reach this stage yet it was Colorado who pulled off the win as underdogs, whereas California did what was expected in covering the -4.5 against Stanford. Cal comes into this one as the higher seed in the conference (2^nd) and would love to earn an automatic berth to the show by winning their conference tournament.  The Pac-12 has been very weak this year overall and it will be tough for anyone other than the tournament winner and possibly Washington (won the regular season title) to earn a berth to the NCAA tournament.

Colorado understands that as well and would love to sneak past everyone and get invited to the dance. They are 6-2 ATS on neutral floors and 5-0 ATS in the last five vs. Cal. They showed last night that they won’t be intimidated by anyone and they already know that they can hang tough with this Golden Bears team.

With so much on the line for both squads, this game should be back-and-forth throughout. That makes the prospect of laying 6 points with the higher seed a bit daunting given how hungry Colorado is as well. The Buffalos have held Cal to under 60 points in both meetings this year and if they can do so for a third time, there is no doubt they will keep this one within six points.
