Third-ranked Orange clash with Bearcats in Big East battle
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
02/07/2010 -
Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Off to their best start ever, the third-
ranked Syracuse Orange take their show on the road today to tangle with the
Cincinnati Bearcats in a Big East clash at Fifth Third Arena.
On Tuesday, the Orange squashed Providence, 85-68, to improve to a healthy
22-1 overall, marking the best start to a season in program history. Winners
of nine straight, Syracuse is tied with Villanova atop the Big East standings
at 9-1. Furthermore, the Orange have been impressive on the road this season,
going a perfect 8-0 in games played away from home.
As for the Bearcats, they are seeking another victory against a ranked
opponent, having gone 3-1 against Top 25 foes this season. Cincinnati could
use another quality win, as it has fallen in two of its past three outings,
including an 83-65 setback at Notre Dame on Thursday. Now at 5-5 within the
conference, the Bearcats return home, where they have been tough on opponents
and own an 11-1 record.
This is just the seventh all-time meeting between Syracuse and Cincinnati on
the hardwood, with the Orange holding a 4-2 edge in the series.
The Orange opened the second half with a 22-5 run, as they turned a 37-34
halftime advantage into an 85-68 victory over Providence earlier in the week.
Syracuse shot an efficient 57.6 percent from the floor and that is not
surprising for a club that is hitting on 53.1 percent of its field goals on
the season. Kris Joseph led the attack with a career-best 23 points off the
bench, while Arinze Onuaku added a season-high 20 points. Wes Johnson had an
off night with just eight points and five boards, but he is still the go-to-
guy for this club, leading the Orange with 16.7 ppg and 9.0 rpg for the
season. Joseph, who has started just one game, is next with 11.0 ppg and he is
averaging 16.8 ppg over his last four games. Onuaku and Andy Rautins chip in
10.3 ppg apiece, with Rautins also dishing off a team-high 4.9 apg.
The Bearcats shot a lackluster 38.2 percent from the floor, including a poor
7-of-28 effort from long distance, as they were handled by Notre Dame on
Thursday. Cincinnati, a normally strong rebounding team, also lost the battle
on the boards 41-32. Larry Davis guided the squad in defeat with 12 points on
4-of-8 three-pointers, while Deonta Vaughn had 11 points and six helpers.
Lance Stephenson tacked on eight points and he remains the team's leading
scorer on the season with an average of 12.0 ppg. Vaughn puts forth 11.9 ppg
and a team-high 3.6 apg, while Yancy Gates adds 10.5 ppg and a team-best 6.6
rpg to the mix.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds
With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season. What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season. Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all. Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13). Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two. Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury. Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven. Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury. Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.
In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons. Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4. Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1). The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this. No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
