NCAA Basketball: Cincinnati vs. Vanderbilt Odds & Pick: November 23rd 2009

Free NCAA Basketball Pick: Cincinnati +4.5 -110 odds

Cincinnati should be a very improved team this season. The Bearcats finished 18-14 last year including 8-10 in the Big East and they return four starters as well as bringing in two very talented freshmen. Depth was an issue for this team the last few seasons but with a full roster for the first time under fourth-year head coach Mick Cronin, expectations are once again on the upswing for the Bearcats. The best player on this team is guard Deonta Vaughn who is a two-time All-Big East selection but there is plenty of talent around him. Yancy Gates averaged double figures last season and was named to the All-Big East Freshman team while Rashad Bishops joins him down low and is the best defender on the team. Two of the players that could make the difference this season are both in their first year. True point guard Cashmere Wright was injured last season and is back healthy while incoming freshman Lance Stephenson is considered one of the best incoming rookies in the entire country. Cincinnati had trouble getting points last season as it was 12th in the Big East and 158th nationally but with all of the pieces in place, that should improve greatly. Vanderbilt is no slouch either and it will be a player in the SEC this season. The Commodores return all five starters to a team that endured a number of injuries and bad luck last season and it results in Vanderbilt missing the postseason for the first time in six years. It is coming off a big win at St. Mary’s in its last game but the matchup here is not in its favor. The team is athletic but not very physical and that is not good against a very physical Cincinnati team. The Commodores will be at a disadvantage down low and that is partly due to center A.J. Ogilvy still not at 100 percent. Vanderbilt has gotten outrebounded by five per game in the first two games while the Bearcats +13.5 rpg through their first two games. Vanderbilt is just 7-19 ATS in its last 26 games following a win by six points or fewer and being on the road for a lengthy period, as it travelled last Wednesday to St. Mary’s, that will make thing even tougher. 3* Cincinnati Bearcats

Overview: Colorado returns four starters from a 9-22 club, that also finished just 1-15 in the Big 12. The good news is that they can pretty much only go up. Junior guard Cory Higgins (6-5, 185) returns after leading the team in scoring at 17.5ppg and provided 5.5rpg. He was one of the few bright spots last year. Aussie import Nate Tomlinson (6-2, 180) took over at the point and provided 7.4ppg and 3apg and a decent 83-77 assist to turnover ratio. Freshman guard Alex Burks can score, but needs to work on his defense. Senior guard Dwight Thorne II (6-2, 185) adds 12ppg and benefited from playing on a summer AIA European tour. Up front, the Buffs add 6-11, 240-pound Shane Harris-Tunks, who is another Aussie, who gives the team size and rebounding. They also added Marcus Rephorde (6-7, 220), a JC import from Indian Hills (Iowa), who also spent a year at St. Louis. Austin Dufault (6-8, 210) provided 8.2ppg and 3.8rpg in his freshman season.

Outlook: Colorado should improve this year, but they have a long ways to go get to the middle of the pack of a very talented conference.

Overview: The Huskers were a scrappy team last season, but still managed to go 8-8 in the Big 12 with one of the smaller teams in major college basketball. Unfortunately, they lost two of their three mighty mites in Cookie Miller (7.3ppg, 3.5apg) and Steve Harley (10.2ppg) as well as wing Ade Dagunduro (12.8ppg). The defense was strong last season, as they limited opponents to 60.4ppg. Nebraska has added height to their team this season, but whether that will translate to more wins is another story. The only returning backcourt starter is 6-4 senior Sek Henry, who averaged 8ppg and 3.4pg last year. Toney McCray (6-6, 205) , who averaged 5.7ppg and Brandon Richardson (6-0, 190) will see time in the rotation. Freshman Eshanute Jones (6-4, 180) provides scoring after sitting out last season with an ankle injury. Senior guard Ryan Anderson (6-4, 205) made the Big 12 All-Defense team last year and also enters his senior season on career charts for 3-point baskets and 3-point percentage. Up front, senior Chris Balham (6-8, 235) started 23 games last season, but averaged just 10.1mpg, before they went with a smaller lineup. JC transfer Quincy Hankins-Cole (6-8, 240) will provide bulk inside, while 6-9 freshman Brandon Ubel gives them another option up front.

Outlook: The Huskers will be a bigger team this season and will not be physically overmatched this season. However, they may miss the quickness that the spark plugs provided.

Overview: Pat Knight is now in his third season at Texas Tech, but hasn’t been unable to accomplish what his father Bob had. Fortunately, he does have four returning starters from a team that allowed 79 points per game, which was last in the Big 12. They do have to replace 6-3 guard Alan Voskull (13.8ppg), who led the Big 12 in 3-point percentage (43.5%) and led Texas Tech in steals. Juinor point guard John Roberson (5-11, 165) did lead the team in scoring at 13.9ppg and assists at 6.4apg. He does need to cut down on the turnovers (108). Senior NIck Okorie (11.3ppg) was hampered b a knee injury and should provide more scoring this year. Junior David Tairu (6-3, 180), a JC transfer, adds immediate help in the backcourt as a slasher, who can get to the basket. Up front, junior Mike Singletary (6-6, 217) was a contributor off the bench, who averaged 12.2ppg and 5.8rpg. Robert Lewandowski (6-10, 248), showed some promise as a freshman with 6.6ppg and 3.7rpg. They also add transfers Theron Jenkins (6-6, 211) and wing Brad Reese (6-6, 189), who can only help

Outlook: The Red Raiders have got to find a way to stop people this year. If not, Knight will be on the hot seat.

Assistants: Matthew Discoll, Matt Morefield, Jerome Tang
Ret. Starters/Lost: 2/3

Overview: Baylor returns just two starters from a team that won 24 games, but fell off in conference play, going 5-11. They did end up going to the NIT, where they lost to Penn State in the title contest. The Bears lost 50% of their scoring and rebounding and 67% of their assists. Gone is Curtis Jerrells (16.3ppg) and big man Kevin Rogers (12.6ppg, 7.6rpg). The backcourt does have a solid foundation led by LaceDarius Dunn (6-4, 195), who set the school record with 109 3-pointers and averaged 15.7ppg and 4.9rpg. Senior guard Tweety Carter (5-11,. 190) is also back as a perimeter threat, who averaged 10.6ppg and 3.2apg. He will start at the point, but has to be more patient this season. The most talented newcomer, freshman Nolan Dennis (6-5, 185) originally signed with Memphis, but bailed out when John Calipari left for Kentucky. He will be an instant impact player. Up front, they add 6-10 Ekpe Udoh (6ppg, 5rpg, 92 blocks), who played at Michigan in 2007-08 before transferring and sitting out last year. He’ll start right away, but the Bears need to find a consistent power forward to replace Rogers. Sophomore Quincy Acy (6-7, 205) did lead the Bears in blocked shots and added 5.4ppg and 3.6rpg last year. Senior Josh Lomers (7-0, 276) is a solid reserve.

Outlook: The Bears will have a hard time winning 24 games, but should win more in conference. They do need to become a more selective team offensively and not just jack up the first available shot.

Overview: The Cyclones return four of five starters from a team that finished last in the Big 12 in 3-point percentage, making just 34.6 percent of their shots. So this season, emphasis was on making a better percentage, despite the fact that they set the school record by making 236 3-point baskets (7.4 per game. Junior guard Lucca Staiger (6-5, 225) is a German import who led the team with 74 3-pointers, averaging 8.2ppg. The point guard returns in junior Diante Garrett (6-4, 185), who averaged 9.8ppg, 5apg and 3.3rpg. They also add sophomore Scott Christopherson (6-3, 205), a transfer from Marquette and senior Marquis Gilstrap (6-6, 210), who was a big-time scorer at Gulf Coast Community College (22.6ppg). Up front, the Cyclones return the fourth-leading returning scorer in the country in junior center Craig Brackins (6-10, 230), who averaged 20.2ppg and 9.5rpg. He also had 15 double-doubles. Senior Jamie Vanderbeken (6-11, 245) adds 5.5ppg and 3rpg and height, along with the ability to knock down a three (35-of-86). Freshman L.A. Pomlee (6-8, 235) redshirted last year and will provide depth up front.

Outlook: Iowa State has a nice player in Brackins, but still needs to provide more help. If they shoot better from the three-point line or get to the basket more often, this team could surprise some.

Assistants: Melvin Watkins, Matt Zimmerman, T.J. Cleveland
Ret. Starters/Lost: 2/3

Overview: Mizzou loses a ton of talent, including F DeMarre Carroll (16.6ppg, 7.2rpg), who helped lead the Tigers to the Elite Eight. Fortunately, the backcourt should remain strong led by point guard Zaire Taylor (6-4, 189), who averaged 6.7ppg and 3.4apg. Taylor was known more for hitting clutch shots against Texas and Kansas. At wing guard, senior J.T. Tiller (8.4ppg, 3.6apg) is an outstanding defender, who was named co-Defender of the Year, and also led the team in steals. A big key will be the play of sophomore Kim English (6-6, 200), an excellent three-point shooter, who averaged 6.5ppg off the bench. Sophomore Marcus Demon (6-2, 185), who averaged 6ppg, is also a key reserve. Up front, they loss of Carroll and Leo Lyons (14.6ppg, 6.1rpg) will be devastating. Senior Keith Ramsey (6-9, 210) is the only big man with experience. Junior Justin Safford (6-8, 205) adds some shooting ability, but played sparingly last year. Sophomore Steve Moore (6-9, 265) lost 30 pounds and that should improve his mobility.

Outlook: The Tigers should take a pretty big fall of last year’s Elite Eight team. But with good guard play, they won’t be easy to knock out.
