Mountaineers and Bearcats collide in quarterfinal action

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

03/11/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The third-seeded and seventh-ranked West Virginia Mountaineers begin their march towards a Big East Tournament title tonight, as they face off against the 11th-seeded Cincinnati Bearcats in the quarterfinals at Madison Square Garden. The team that comes out on top will move to the semifinals against Notre Dame or Pittsburgh.

The Mountaineers won a school-record 13 Big East games this season, including a triumph over Villanova in their finale to help secure a second-place finish. WVU was one of three teams to finish in second and after the tie-breakers, the program earned the third seed and a double-bye for this tourney. The Mountaineers have posted eight victories in their last 13 Big East Tournament games, reaching the semifinals in each of the past two events.

As for the Bearcats, they had been 0-3 in the Big East Tournament prior to this season and didn't appear as if they would make any noise after losing their last three games of the regular campaign. Cincinnati though, showed its resiliency by nipping 14th-seeded Rutgers, 69-68, in the first round before knocking off the defending champions and sixth-seeded Louisville, 69-66, last night. The Bearcats, who are the only team to win two games in this year's event so far, have enough quality wins that just reaching the finals of the tourney could land them a spot in the Big Dance.

Cincinnati leads the all-time series with WVU, 10-7, but the Mountaineers took a 74-68 decision back on February 27th.

The Bearcats' Deonta Vaughn hit two free throws with 5.9 seconds remaining before coming up with a game-saving strip in the closing moments of a 69-66 upset of Louisville last night. Vaughn finished the night with 10 points and two steals for the Cincinnati, which dominated the boards, 54-33, for the second night in a row. Yancy Gates led the way with 16 points, and Lance Stephenson tacked on 12 points and three steals. Stephenson, the Big East Freshman of the Year, made the game-winning free-throw in the first round win over Rutgers and he paces the squad with 12.0 ppg for the season. Vaughn adds 11.1 ppg and a team-high 3.4 apg, while Gates puts forth 10.7 ppg and 6.0 rpg.

The Mountaineers are a sound group, and they are outscoring opponents by 9.9 ppg and outrebounding them by 6.6 rpg. Da'Sean Butler tops the roster in scoring at 17.2 ppg and the first-team All-Big East selection also turns in 6.3 rpg and 3.3 apg. Kevin Jones ranks second on the team with 13.5 ppg and 7.4 rpg, while Devin Ebanks adds 12.4 ppg. Ebanks, a third-team all-conference pick, also rips down 8.3 rpg to pace WVU in that department. Darryl Bryan is another option and he checks in with 10.6 ppg and 3.3 apg.
