Cincinnati -9
Despite the big win over UL Monroe last night the Bearcats didn't play well. Coach Huggins used 14 different players in the first eight minutes to try to get something going. BJ Grove even played a dozen minutes or so and his return gives the Bearcats another 5 fouls underneath.
Southern Mississippi should have lost to Richmond but pulled out a last second victory.
Both teams are now 2-0 in pool play in the Las Vegas Classic tournament and tonight's game is probably the match-up of the best two teams in the tournament.
After last night, I don't think Cincinnati will be looking ahead or take MSU too lightly. Cincinnati comes into this game much better rested as key starters like Logan played just over 20 minutes last night while the MSU starters were battling for the win to the very end.
I think that Cincinnati as the better rested, deeper and more talented team should be able to cover the points in this one.
