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.

FOOTBALL BETTING : Cassel Signs Contract

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.

NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
