About These Teams

Iowa - The Hawkeyes average around 79 points per game.  They have three players who can easily score double digits. This is a Hawkeyes team that has failed to cover in nine of their last ten games.  They've also only won four of those outright. Poor defensive play will not allow Iowa to get far in this tournament.   Without an early offensive spurt, the Bearcats could end up tearing these Hawkeyes to shreds.  It won't be easy, Cincinnati is a very good defensive team.

Cincinnati - This is essentially a home game for Cincinnati, which is playing just over an hour away in Columbus.  The Bearcats are rated 27 by Sagarin.  On a neutral court, the -3.5 might a one-point overlay.  In Columbus, there is an overlay of two points.  This season, the Bearcats rank No. 2 nationally in defensive efficiency, behind only Virginia.

The Bearcats score only 30 percent of their points from 3s and play at one of the 35 slowest tempos in college basketball.  Something to keep in mind.

Sixers? Knicks? Who Can Challenge Boston in the East this Season?

As the new NBA season gets underway, there is most certainly a sense that the Boston Celtics are the team to beat once again. The 18-time champions really took an “if it’s not broken, don’t try to fix it” policy in the offseason, and it’s hard to argue with the tactic.
