Total: 122.00 | -110.00 Over
Result: Win
The set-up: Mick Cronin's Cincinnati Bearcats are 14-2 (4-0 in the AAC) and ranked 22nd, as they visit the 9-9 (1-4 in the AAC) East Carolina Pirates on Sunday afternoon. The Bearcats are coming off a 66-64 win Thursday night at SMU, prevailing despite 1-of-10 shooting and two points from leading scorer Jacob Evans. East Carolina may be a motivated team today, as this is the last time it'll play for head coach Jeff Lebo for a while. Lebo is undergoing hip surgery on Monday and will be sidelined indefinitely.
Cincinnati: Evans is a 6-6 guard and while he had an awful night at SMU, he ;leads the Bearcats with 14.3 PPG. he's joined in the backcourt by PG Caupain (10.4-5.7-4.7) plus big men Washington (13.6 & 7.4) and Clark (10.4 & 6.8) are also double digit scorers. The Bearcats shoot well (48.4% ranks 31st) and as always, play tough D. Cincy holds opponents to 61.6 PPG (111th) on 36.3% shooting (2nd).
East Carolina: The Pirates should be motivated to pallaa ranked team and send Lebo off a winner but the Pirates don't have anyone upfront to combat Washington or Clark. However, ECU does own a nice trio of guards in Tyson (11.9), White (11.4) and Barkley (10.9). Let's also note that the Pirates are 8-3 SU at home and like Cincy, know how to play defense. On the season, ECU is allowing 62.6 PPG (17th) on 38.0% shooting (8th).
The pick: "I've been dealing with this pain for a couple of years and it has become increasingly unbearable," Lebo said. "The best thing for my personal welfare as well as my family and our team is for me to have this done right away." The Pirates may be motivated but the team just can't score, averaging 62.7 PPG (338th) on 40.5% shooting (319th). ECU only stays close in a slow-paced defensive game (alright with Cincy). Make the Under a 10* play.
