Fast Break: Wyatt shines vs. Syracuse, Muhammad finds rhythm, more
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

by Seth Davis

The Christmas rush has not slowed down the Fast Break. We're flying this week with a high-scoring Owl and a pair of sticky Hawks. We've got jumping Jackrabbits and galloping Griffins. And if you're in the mood for a little holiday inspiration, we have a visit with a midmajor coach who won over hearts and minds by seizing a microphone in Columbus. So climb aboard, little elves, and fill the lanes with me. Ho ho ho!

Player of the Week: Khalif Wyatt, six-foot-four senior guard, Temple

These are weekly awards, not single-game awards, but Wyatt's effort against third-ranked Syracuse on Saturday was too sublime to pass up. Coming just three days after the Owls lost at home to Canisius (Wyatt had 17 points in that game, although he needed 16 shots to do it), the 6-foot-4 senior went for 33 points, four assists and three rebounds in the 83-79 upset. The best part of Wyatt's afternoon was his use of the foul line, where made all 15 of his attempts. Wyatt and his teammates obviously have consistency issues, but give him credit for being a giant slayer. Last season, he had 22 points, five steals and three assists in a 78-73 upset of No. 3 Duke.

Team of the Week: South Dakota State

There was no logical reason to believe the Jackrabbits could win at New Mexico on Saturday. In their previous outing, they had lost by 27 points at Belmont. Inclement weather canceled their connecting flight to Chicago, forcing them to take a 20-hour bus ride to Albuquerque. Moreover, the team's best player, 6-4 senior guard Nate Wolters, was playing on a bum ankle. And they were playing an undefeated, ranked team in one of the toughest road environments in the country. So of course, they won, 70-65, thanks to Wolters's 28-point, seven-assist, four-rebound effort. I'd say they earned a chartered flight back to Brookings.

Glue Guy of the Week: Travis Releford and Kevin Young, Kansas (tie)

These were the two tone-setters in the Jayhawks' 74-66 win at Ohio State on Saturday. While freshman Ben McLemore was racking up 22 points and senior center Jeff Withey was dominating the paint as usual, Releford and Young were the ones who held Kansas together despite a 14-0 Ohio State run midway through the first half. As usual, Releford drew the toughest defensive assignment, harassing the Buckeyes' leading scorer, Deshaun Thomas, into a 4-for-11 shooting day. Young, meanwhile, made just one field goal, but he grabbed ten rebounds to go along with three assists and one steal. It's not a coincidence that both these guys are fifth-year seniors. They're versatile, smart, tough and unselfish -- the very intangibles that turn a good team into a championship team.

Freshman of the Week: Shabazz Muhammad, UCLA

You remember this guy, right? It took a couple of weeks for Muhammad to get into a rhythm after missing the first three games with an NCAA suspension, but he is rounding into form. The 6-6 swingman from Las Vegas had a total of 48 points and 13 rebounds in UCLA's wins over Long Beach State and Fresno State. He has now scored more than 20 points in three straight games, and on the season he is averaging 18.8 points and 5.0 rebounds while shooting 47.8 percent from three-point range. I sure hope that all those people who wrote the Bruins off two weeks ago did so in pencil.

Under-the-Radar Player of the Week: Billy Baron, Canisius

If I'm gonna give Wyatt some love, the least I can do is throw a bone to the guy who beat the Owls earlier in the week. Baron is literally Buffalo's favorite son. He transferred to Canisius over the summer because the school hired his father, Jim, after Jim was fired from Rhode Island. Previously, Billy left Virginia midway through his freshman season to join his dad at Rhode Island. Baron was terrific against the Owls, finishing with 19 points, five assists and four rebounds in the ten-point road win. He followed that up by scoring 30 points (on 4-for-7 three-point shooting) to go along with six assists and five rebounds in an 89-74 loss at UNLV. The Golden Griffins' 8-3 start includes two conference road wins. They've established themselves as the favorite in the MAAC, and Billy Baron is the biggest reason why.

Best Win: Kansas State 67, Florida 61

We knew the Wildcats had some players, but we didn't know how good of a team they were (and frankly, how good of a coach Bruce Weber was going to be for this group). In their only two tests of the season, they were badly outclassed by Michigan and Gonzaga. Both of those games were away from home, so if this team had suffered another pratfall against Florida in Kansas City, it could have damaged its confidence. Will Spradling, the 6-2 junior who grew up nearby in Overland Park, had arguably the finest game of his career (17 points, six rebounds, five assists and zero turnovers) against the Gators, while Jordan Henriquez added five blocks in 18 minutes off the bench. Kansas State pounded the Gators on the glass and locked up their three-point shooters. That's a nice dose of karma heading into the holidays.

Worst Loss: Old Dominion 63, Virginia 61

The Monarchs came into this game having lost nine consecutive games and owning a 1-10 record. It's understandable the Cavaliers might take them lightly, but to outright lose the game is unacceptable, especially since Virginia was up by 10 points early in the second half. Defensively, the Cavs allowed Old Dominion sophomore guard Dimitri Batten score a career-high 23 points. The loss snapped Virginia's eight-game win streak. Not exactly the way a team wants to head into conference play.

Most Hopeful Sign: Ryan Harrow, Kentucky

Sure, it was a home game against a Marshall team that was playing without leading scorer DeAndre Kane, who is out indefinitely with a hand injury. Still, given how rocky Harrow's season has been early on, his performance sent ripples of hope across the Commonwealth. Harrow, a 6-2 sophomore point guard who transferred from N.C. State, missed four games earlier this season because of a lingering flu and the ever-mysterious "personal issues" that prompted him to spend a few days back home in Georgia. He has been steadily more productive since returning six games ago, but he had a breakout game against Marshall, scoring a career-high 23 points. Harrow also had four rebounds, four assists and three steals in the 82-54 win. We'll find out more about this player and this team when they visit Louisville this weekend, but it looks like Harrow may finally be ready for his close-up.

Stat Line of the Week: Derrick Nix, Michigan State vs. Texas

Over his previous ten games, Nix attempted a total of 25 free throws. So it was pretty surprising to see him take 13 against the Longhorns. But what was truly stunning was that he made 13 of those en route to a career-high 25 points. When Nix was a freshman, he made just 27.1 percent from the foul line. As a junior, he made 58.1 percent. For good measure, Nix added 11 rebounds and four steals against the Longhorns. Pretty good day's work, I'd say.

Five Games I'm Psyched To See This Week

Arizona vs. San Diego State, Tuesday, 10 p.m. As if you have something better to do on Christmas night than watch this game. I can't wait to see Mark Lyons and Jamaal Franklin go at it.

New Mexico at Cincinnati, Thursday, 9 p.m. It looked like this was going to be the battle of unbeatens before the Lobos' loss at home to South Dakota State over the weekend. Cincinnati still hasn't lost, but the team has had a bear of a time scoring the ball. The Bearcats play great D, but they're going to need buckets if they want to stay perfect.

Missouri at UCLA, Friday, 10 p.m. As I mentioned earlier, the Bruins have been playing better the last two weeks, but those wins came against relatively weak competition. There's nothing weak about Missouri, but the Tigers don't have the same incentive. If UCLA really wants to turn its season around, it needs to win this one in Pauley.

UNLV at North Carolina, Saturday, 2 p.m. The Tar Heels are in a similar must-win position as the Bruins, only they're facing a UNLV team that is without one of its most important players in Mike Moser, the 6-8 junior forward who is out with a dislocate elbow. Still, the Tar Heels are really weak at center, so they'll have to shoot well from three to win this one.

Kentucky at Louisville, Saturday, 4 p.m. This is one major nonconference rivalry that John Calipari can't bring to an end. Thank goodness for that.

Cincinnati Aims To Stay Undefeated Against New Mexico

New Mexico Lobos at Cincinnati Bearcats
College Basketball Betting Preview
Date: 12/27/2012 at 9:00 p.m. (ET)
Opening Lines: Cincinnati -8, O/U 136½
Television: ESPN2

New Mexico: Coach Steve Alford and the Lobos (12-1 straight-up, 5-6-1 against the spread) suffered their first loss of the season last Saturday with a 70-65 setback at home vs. South Dakota State. New Mexico was giving up 14½ points in the defeat that cost the Lobos a spot in the rankings after entering No. 16 and No. 17, respectively, according to the AP and Coaches Poll. South Dakota State's upset also stopped a 4-0-1 run against the spread for the Lobos, who began the campaign covering just one of their first six lined affairs. New Mexico is tied for 70th in the country, committing 12.4 turnovers per game, but in the bottom 20 percent coming up with just 5.3 steals per contest. Kendall Williams leads the Lobos in scoring, averaring nearly 15 points per game, and the junior point guard also tops the team charts with five assists each outing. Seven-foot sophomore Alex Kirk is New Mexico's leading rebounder with 7.5 per game.

Cincinnati: One of only five undefeated squads coming out of the Christmas break, the 'Cats (12-0 SU, 5-3 ATS) are ranked eighth in both polls released this past Monday. Thursday's clash with the Lobos is the last before Coach Mick Cronin's crew begins the Big East slate at Pittsburgh on New Year's Eve. Cincinnati struggled on the offensive end in its final two games before the holiday, combining to shoot just 35.6 percent (47-of-132) in victories vs. Xavier and Wright State, including 10-of-42 from outside the arc. The Bearcats rank 18th in scoring, averaging 79.8 points per game despite those shooting woes, and are second in rebounding (46.4 per game). Free-throw shooting has been an issue all season with Cincy 321st in the country, converting just over 61 percent of its charity tosses. Sean Kilpatrick leads the Bearcats with 19.2 ppg, and he is also second on the team in rebounding (6.3 per game). Cashmere Wright (14.2 ppg) and JaQuon Parker (11.6 ppg) follow Kilpatrick on the scoring list.
