South Florida vs. California, 03/14/2012 21:00 EDT, Score: 65 - 54

Point Spread: -2½/-110 California

Sportsbook: DSI

Result: Loss

Cal -2.5 to 3

I have no doubts here. Cal wins an at large bid here with an RPI of 39 and really had some bad luck at seasons end. They get a bid in spite of the fact they did not win the regular season or post season PAC 12 crown, which tells me pollsters, oddsmakers and selection people KNOW they are a solid team. South Florida went 2-9 against the RPI Top 50, Cal has too much here. I will not back a team at this stage scoring less than 60 ppg on offense.

Cal rolls, lay the short number.
