I have made this statement countless times before, but I believe it’s something that bears repeating: the college basketball point spreads doesn’t really get underway until conference play begins. Sure, we get to see the occasional upset in the opening couple of months when non-conference action is on tap, but all the fun really begins at the start of the New Year. Just look at how tight the 6 major conferences are right now to get an idea of how much fun this time of year really is. The PAC-12 is one of the conference that has started out with a bang, and we have an exciting match-up on tap for Thursday night, as the California Golden Bears go on the road to face an Oregon Ducks team that is currently ranked #11 in the nation, and which has yet to lose a game in conference play. California are a game and a half back of the top spot in the conference, and would like to steal this one on the road to close the gap a little.
