Diamond Head Classic Preview

ARIZONA WILDCATS (9-0)

Conference: Pac-12

Coach: Sean Miller (fourth season)

Key players: G Mark Lyons (13.9 ppg, 3.0 apg, .415 3PT%); G Nick Johnson (13.6 ppg, 3.5 apg, 3.0 spg, .438 3PT%); F Solomon Hill (12.9 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 3.3 apg, .410 3PT%)

Notes: No. 4 Wildcats are highest-ranked team to appear in any DHC … Lyons, a Xavier transfer, played in the DHC last season with the Musketeers. He is one of two non-UH players set to appear in the event more than once, along with SDSU’s JJ O’Brien, a Utah transfer … Miller played for Pittsburgh in the 1990 Rainbow Classic and lost 84-82 to UH in the title game … Wildcats are 12th in the country, shooting .408 on 3-pointers as a team.

Miller: “I think what we want to do is to enjoy each other and the fact that we are in Hawaii and make the most of the opportunity. We want to try to win every game, and at the same time enjoy the fact that it is the holiday season. We’re going there to try to win the tournament, knowing full well that it’s a very understated field.”

E. TENNESSEE ST. BUCCANEERS (2-7)

Conference: Atlantic Sun

Coach: Murry Bartow (10th season)

Key players: F Lester Wilson (17.9 ppg, 6.8 rpg, .392 3PT%); F Hunter Harris (7.9 ppg, 6.9 rpg, 1.3 bpg)

Notes: Four projected starters are out, including two key players who combined to score 19.7 ppg last year (Sheldon Cooley and Marcus Dubose). They were dismissed for violations of team rules after two games … ETSU was a late replacement team for Texas Tech, which dropped out of the field … Bucs are expected to dress only eight players at the DHC … former ’Bow Petras Balocka started his college career at ETSU.

Bartow: “Struggle is the word. I’ve never had anything like this. … We’re just trying to improve, take teaching moments out of every game. We’re in a one-bid league, so if you can build your team, you don’t panic. You want this to be a great team-bonding deal.”

HAWAII RAINBOW WARRIORS (5-3)

Conference: Big West

Coach: Gib Arnold (third season)

Key players: F Christian Standhardinger (17.0 ppg, 8.0 rpg, 1.6 spg); C Vander Joaquim (13.9 ppg, 7.3 rpg, .519 FG%); G Brandon Spearman (12.5 ppg, .353 3PT%); F Hauns Brereton (11.0 ppg, 6.4 rpg, .342 3PT%)

Notes: Host team is 5-4 in the DHC, finishing fourth in 2009 and fifth in 2010 and ’11. … UH has four players averaging 6.4 rebounds or better. … Point guard Jace Tavita is tied for 16th nationally in assists at 6.3 per game. … Arnold was an assistant with the USC team that won the inaugural DHC in 2009. He did not play UH.

Arnold: “I think it’s a great field from top to bottom. I really like (the challenge posed). It’s next to impossible to get these caliber of teams to come to play us on a single game.”

INDIANA ST. SYCAMORES (5-3)

Conference: Missouri Valley

Coach: Greg Lansing (third season)

Key players: G Jake Odum (15.5 ppg, .522 FG%, 4.2 apg); F Manny Arop (11.8 ppg, 6.8 rpg)

Notes: Larry Bird’s alma mater has lost to two ranked teams this season, 86-59 at then-No. 13 UCLA and 77-68 in OT vs. No. 23 New Mexico. … Sycamores have held opponents to 63 points or fewer five times this season … Odum is in the ISU top 10 in career assists and steals. … Lansing needs one more victory to tie John Wooden for 12th all-time in victories at ISU (44).

Lansing: “(We’re) just a really inexperienced team. Only Odum played a lot (last year), we’re playing eight, nine new guys. We’re still finding our way. … we’ve showed spurts of really good play but we’ve also showed spurts where we weren’t very good.”

MIAMI HURRICANES (7-1)

Conference: Atlantic Coast

Coach: Jim Larranaga (second season)

Key players: G Durand Scott (15.6 ppg, 6.8 rpg, .588 FG%); G Shane Larkin (14.8 ppg, 2.0 spg, .517 3PT%); C Reggie Johnson (12.6 ppg, 10.1 rpg, 1.9 bpg)

Notes: Larranaga, who took George Mason to the 2006 Final Four, is tied with Tubby Smith at 19th on the winningest active coaches list with 490 victories. … The U is 5-0 since Scott’s return coming off a six-game ban for impermissible benefits … Hurricanes have five players at 6-10 or taller.

Larranaga: “ESPN does a fantastic job of creating these exempt events at some incredible locations. Coming here is a special time for our players. We only have one player who’s been to Hawaii. The tournament itself has got a great field. Of course, Hawaii, the host team, has a ton of talent.”

MISSISSIPPI REBELS (8-1)

Conference: Southeastern

Coach: Andy Kennedy (seventh season)

Key players: G Marshall Henderson (17.8 ppg, .353 3PT%); F Murphy Holloway (14.8 ppg, 10.4 rpg, .577 FG%); F Reginald Buckner (10.3 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 2.9 bpg)

Notes: Rebels’ only previous trip to Hawaii was in 2000 … Henderson leads the SEC in scoring … PG Jarvis Summers is fourth nationally in assist/TO ratio (4.9) … Rebels have scored 90-plus points four times this season and are eighth nationally at 82.6 ppg … Bucker is already the program record-holder in blocks (259).

Kennedy: “We’re excited about the opportunity to be on this beautiful island. Any time you have an ESPN-run event, you know it’s going to be quality on and off the court. … The biggest thing we tried to prepare for is the 11 a.m. local tip. We started to come west (73-70 win at Loyola Marymount on Wednesday) to make that acclimation.”

SAN DIEGO ST. AZTECS (9-1)

Conference: Mountain West

Coach: Steve Fisher (14th season)

Key players: G Jamaal Franklin (18.6 ppg, 9.7 rpg, 3.1 apg); G Chase Tapley (13.9 ppg, 1.8 spg, .458 3PT%); G Xavier Thames (10.4 ppg, 3.0 apg, .429 3PT%)

Notes: Aztecs, a former UH WAC foe, get a refresher of the Stan Sheriff a season before they join the Big West … Fisher coached his Fab Five Michigan team to the 1992 Rainbow Classic title with an 86-74 win over No. 2 Kansas, which had current USF coach Rex Walters at guard. … Senior forward DeShawn Stephens (7.5 ppg, 5.3 rpg) had UH as a finalist for his services out of Santa Monica College before choosing SDSU.

Fisher: “We’re definitely still getting better as a whole each and every day in practice. I really feel confident of how we’re jelling together. From the first game until now, we’ve made some major improvements and that’s what we have to keep on doing day by day.”

SAN FRANCISCO DONS (5-4)

Conference: West Coast

Coach: Rex Walters (fifth season)

Key players: G De’End Parker (15.4 ppg, .593 3PT%); F Cole Dickerson (13.6 ppg, 13.1 rpg); G Cody Doolin (11.7 ppg, 6.3 apg).

Notes: Though there are no seniors on the Dons’ roster, Dickerson is the country’s top rebounder, while Parker is third in 3-point percentage and Doolin 15th in assists. … Behind Doolin, the Dons ended UH’s postseason run in Gib Arnold’s first season with a 77-74 comeback win at the Stan Sheriff in the CIT second round. … Walters made his USF debut at Hawaii to open the 2008 season.

Walters: “Coming to Hawaii is always something you circle on your calendar, whether it’s for a preseason tournament like we did five years ago, or the the CIT, which was a great experience for our guys. … We’re young, but talented. Guys are still trying to find themselves, and that’s OK.”

No. 12 Missouri tries to hand No. 10 Illinois its first loss

ILLINOIS FIGHTING ILLINI (12-0)

vs. MISSOURI TIGERS (9-1)


St. Louis, MO
Tip-off: Saturday, 6:00 p.m. ET
Line: Missouri -1.5, Total: 142.5

The Braggin' Rights game has even more luster than usual on Saturday, as it features two of the best teams in the nation with No. 10 Illinois taking on No. 12 Missouri.

This series has been played annually since 1983, but the Tigers have had the upper hand recently with three straight victories. However, the Illini are 12-0 SU so far this season, including 4-1 ATS in non-home games. This includes an impressive double-digit win at then-No. 10 Gonzaga. Missouri has ripped off five straight wins (2-2 ATS) since its lone loss of the season to Louisville, currently ranked fifth in the nation.

Which top-12 team will come out on top Saturday? For the answer, connect to College Basketball Best Bets for all the Expert picks throughout the entire 2012-13 season. The ******* experts continue to roll in the past eight days, posting a collective 36-16-1 ATS (69%) since Dec. 14. ******* Scott is 8-2-1 ATS (80%) over this stretch, while ******* Dave is 14-5 ATS (74%) in these eight days. The experts now have a collective 54.2% ATS mark (150-127-6) in college basketball Best Bets for the season, led by ******* Gary, who is 7-1 ATS since Monday, and sits at 61% ATS (33-21) for the season, while Dave is at 56% ATS (56-44-2) on the year.

The Illini are led by dynamic PG Brandon Paul who averages 18.8 PPG of the team's 76.9 PPG (43rd in D-I). Paul has scored in double-figures in every game, while also leading Illinois in both rebounds (5.1 RPG) and assists (3.5 APG). Illinois grabs just 36.6 RPG (129th in nation) with a weak frontcourt. Senior SG D.J. Richardson is second on the team in both scoring (11.5 PPG) and rebounding (4.6 RPG) despite standing just 6-foot-3. C Nnanna Egwu, who is 6-foot-11, blocked four shots in Sunday's 66-53 win over Eastern Kentucky, but pulled down just two boards in 28 minutes of action. Starting PF Tyler Griffey averages a mere 3.5 RPG in his 23.5 MPG.

Missouri has a couple players with experience in this rivalry. PG Phil Pressey (12.3 PPG, 5.8 APG) was the star in last year's 78-74 win with 18 points and five assists. PF Laurence Bowers (team-high 16.3 PPG) has played in this series three times, with 13 points and nine rebounds in a 75-64 Tigers victory two years ago. Bowers has been outstanding in the past four games with 19.5 PPG (62% FG, 7-of-9 threes). His 6.4 RPG is also a big reason why his team ranks 4th in the nation in rebounding margin (+13.3 RPG) and have the 7th-most offensive boards in the land (16.1 per game). C Alex Oriakhi has also been a glass eater with 8.6 RPG to go along with his 10.6 PPG (51% FG). Oregon transfer G Jabari Brown made his Tigers debut on Monday with 12 points in the 102-51 pounding of South Carolina State, but he made just 3-of-9 FG and 1-of-7 threes. Missouri makes just 33.1% of its threes with Bowers (60%) as the only player above 40% from downtown.

No. 7 OSU hosts No. 9 Kansas on Saturday

KANSAS JAYHAWKS (9-1)

at OHIO STATE BUCKEYES (9-1)


Tip-off: Saturday, 4:00 p.m. ET
Line: Ohio State -3.5, Total: 141.5

It will be a rematch of last year’s national semifinals when No. 9 Kansas travels to No. 7 Ohio State on Saturday.

These teams actually met twice last season. Kansas won both times, SU and ATS, a December home game (in which the Buckeyes played without star Jared Sullinger) and the neutral court win at the Final Four. The Jayhawks have absolutely blown out some decent opponents of late, beating Richmond by 28 on Tuesday night and Colorado by 36 two weeks ago. Ohio State’s lone loss this season came at Duke. Since then it has beaten five small school opponents SU (2-2 ATS).

Who will win the latest battle of these two storied programs? For the answer, connect to College Basketball Best Bets for all the Expert picks throughout the entire 2012-13 season. The ******* experts continue to roll in the past eight days, posting a collective 36-16-1 ATS (69%) since Dec. 14. ******* Scott is 8-2-1 ATS (80%) over this stretch, while ******* Dave is 14-5 ATS (74%) in these eight days. The experts now have a collective 54.2% ATS mark (150-127-6) in college basketball Best Bets for the season, led by ******* Gary, who is 7-1 ATS since Monday, and sits at 61% ATS (33-21) for the season, while Dave is at 56% ATS (56-44-2) on the year.

Kansas’ balanced attack features an All-America-caliber, inside-outside combo. Freshman SG Ben McLemore (15.9 PPG) has proven difficult to contain, while C Jeff Withey (14.1 PPG on 59.3% FG, 8.1 RPG, 5.4 BPG) has dominated at both ends of the court. The Jayhawks have held opponents to 58.5 PPG on 35.1% FG, largely due to Withey’s presence inside. On Tuesday night against Richmond, he went for 17 points on 7-for-9 FG and 13 rebounds in just 26 minutes. He’s also managed to avoid any foul trouble, committing just 11 fouls in 10 games, and never more than two in a game. The Jayhawks’ biggest weakness has been their lack of a consistent outside shooter. As a team, they’re shooting just 33.9% 3-pt FG.

The Buckeyes have transitioned nicely from the Jared Sullinger era. SF Deshaun Thomas (30.4 PPG, 6.9 RPG) has emerged as a star on the offensive end, and SG Lenzelle Smith Jr. (11.5 PPG, 48.7% 3-pt FG) has become a serious threat on the perimeter. PG Aaron Craft (9.1 PPG, 4.8 APG) remains the best perimeter defender in college basketball, but he’s struggled to become more of a scorer (37.7% FG, 33.3% 3-pt FG). This game could come down to how well the Buckeyes can contain Withey in the low post. Senior bruiser Evan Ravenel (6.6 PPG, 4.9 RPG) will be giving up about four inches to Withey. Ravenel splits time with sophomore C Amir Williams (1.3 BPG), who will have to prove he can anchor against Withey in the low post.

NCAAB game of the day: Kansas at Ohio State
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kansas at Ohio State (-5, 139)

A big-time showdown is on tap Saturday when No. 8 Kansas visits No. 7 Ohio State in a rematch of last season’s Final Four contest won by the Jayhawks. Both teams are powerful again despite losing a stellar inside player – Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger and Kansas’ Thomas Robinson – from the teams that met twice last season. The Jayhawks won both of last season’s meetings and bring an eight-game winning streak into Saturday’s tilt. Coach Bill Self views the trip to Columbus as a major gauge for his squad despite winning the last three games by an average of 31 points. “Let’s be serious – the season starts Saturday,” Self said. “Now we can go up there and hopefully take a real enthusiastic team up there, hunker down, see how tough we are and find out a lot about ourselves.” Ohio State has won five straight games and has won 39 consecutive home non-conference games after posting a 10-point win over Winthrop on Dec. 18.

TV: 4 p.m. ET, CBS.

ABOUT KANSAS (9-1): Center Jeff Withey blocked seven shots in last season’s national semifinal and leads the nation with 54 rejections (5.4 per game). His offensive game has improved and his 17-point, 13-rebound outing against Richmond on Dec. 18 was his fourth double-double of the campaign. Withey is averaging 14.1 points and 8.1 rebounds and shooting 59.3 percent from the field. Freshman guard Ben McLemore is averaging a team-leading 15.9 points and senior guard Travis Releford is averaging 13 points while shooting 58 percent from the field. Senior point guard Elijah Johnson is averaging 9.6 points and 5.3 assists. The contest marks the Jayhawks’ first true road game of the season. “I’ve been to (Ohio State’s) building three times when I was at Illinois,” Self said. “It’s a good building. It will be juiced and ready.” Kansas’ only loss was to Michigan State on a neutral court in Atlanta.

ABOUT OHIO STATE (9-1): The Buckeyes have an average winning margin of 25.8 points since losing to Duke on Nov. 28 but the 65-55 victory over Winthrop smacked of a team looking ahead to its next game. Ohio State didn’t put the game away until late and junior forward Deshaun Thomas (21 points on 7-of-21 shooting) admitted after the game that the Buckeyes took Winthrop lightly. Junior guard Aaron Craft was highly displeased with the showing. “If we need a wake-up call for our upcoming game this weekend then we shouldn’t be playing at all,” Craft said. “Every team we play, we take it one game at a time. If we are not sure we are ready to play Kansas with what’s at stake, then we need to reevaluate ourselves as a team.” Thomas leads Ohio State in scoring (20.4) and rebounding (6.9) and junior guard Lenzelle Smith Jr. averages 11.5 points.

TRENDS:

* Over is 4-1 in Jayhawks’ last five overall.
* Home team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings.
* Buckeyes are 0-4-1 ATS in their last five vs. Big 12 opponents.
* Jayhawks are 3-12 ATS in their last 15 vs. Big Ten foes.

TIP-INS:

1. Kansas has won the last five meetings and has a 7-3 series edge over the Buckeyes.

2. The Jayhawks haven’t trailed in a game since Nov. 15 against Tennessee-Chattanooga, a span of 293 minutes, 17 seconds.

3. Thomas has five 20-point outings and has scored in double figures in all 10 games.

College basketball Top 25 betting cheat sheet
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you're looking to get some action down but only have a few minutes to handicap, let our college basketball cheat sheet help you out. We grab the best quick-hitting betting info on each of Saturday’s Top-25 games with odds available.

McNeese State at (19) North Carolina (-22)

The Tar Heels were upset by Texas on Wednesday, giving coach Roy Williams plenty of ammunition for his team as the ACC schedule nears. McNeese State enters having won five straight, including a victory at Texas Tech on Sunday for the school's first-ever win over a Big 12 opponent. North Carolina has allowed five of its last seven opponents to score at least 80, dropping three of those contests.

Temple vs. (3) Syracuse (-10.5)

The Orange has done little wrong through 10 games, averaging 83.4 points and holding teams to 34.5 percent shooting from the field. The Owls have shot just 38.1 percent from the field – 24.4 from 3-point range – over the last four games. Syracuse is 6-1 ATS in its last seven games overall.

Tennessee Tech at (24) Oklahoma State (-22)

The Cowboys will go for their 10th victory in 11 games when they host Tennessee Tech. Oklahoma State has reeled off four double-digit victories since its only loss at Virginia Tech on Dec. 1 and has won its last three by at least 20 points. The Cowboys have already held four opponents under 50 points and do not figure to have much trouble with the Golden Eagles. Tennessee Tech is making the fourth stop of a five-game road trip and is coming off an 81-62 loss at Auburn on Tuesday. Oklahoma State is 6-1-1 ATS in its last eight games overall.

Texas at (19) Michigan State (-10)

Michigan State has won five straight games for the second time this season after a 64-53 win at Bowling Green on Tuesday. The Spartans have held opponents to an average of 50.6 points during their winning streak. Texas may be distracted by the news that guard Myck Kabongo has been suspended for the entire season for an inappropriate relationship with an agent and for reportedly providing inaccurate information to the NCAA. The Longhorns are 0-5 ATS in their last five road games.

Evansville at (25) Butler (-10.5)

The Bulldogs, NCAA Tournament runners-up in 2010 and 2011, knocked the Hoosiers from the unbeaten ranks and the top of the USA Today Top 25 poll with an 88-86 victory in overtime last Saturday for their fifth straight win. While an upset by the Purple Aces doesn't appear likely, Butler can't take Evansville lightly. The Purple Aces, who have won two straight against the Bulldogs, are on a two-game winning streak following their 103-69 victory over Division II Oakland City on Tuesday. The Purple Aces are 4-1 ATS in their last five road contests.

South Dakota State at (17) New Mexico (-15)

New Mexico will try to extend its home winning streak over non-conference foes to 15. The Lobos, who've outscored opponents by an average of 19.2 points during that run, are 89-4 in such games dating to 2003. South Dakota shot 27 percent from the field- its lowest mark since the 2004-05 campaign – in a blowout loss to Belmont on Wednesday. The Lobos are 5-1 ATS in their last six Saturday contests

Wright State at (11) Cincinnati (-18)

The Bearcats are just one of eight unbeaten teams in Division I and for the second time in three years have started the season with 11 straight wins while Wright State carries a three-game winning streak of its own into this regional showdown. The Bearcats have won eight of their 11 games by 15 or more points and rank fifth in the nation in scoring margin (24.1).

(8) Kansas at (7) Ohio State (-3)

The Jayhawks bring an eight-game winning streak into Saturday’s rematch of last season’s Final Four contest. Kansas has taken the last five meetings but the Buckeyes have an average winning margin of 25.8 points since losing to Duke on Nov. 28. The home team is 4-0 ATS in their last four meetings.

Marshall at (23) Kentucky (-19)

Marshall ranks fourth in the country in offensive rebounds, which may cause Kentucky some problems since the Wildcats are in the middle of the pack in the Southeastern Conference in rebounding. The Wildcats will play for just the second time in two weeks and could be a little rusty. After playing three games over the first eight days of December, Kentucky will take the court just three times over the final 23 days of the month. Marshall is 1-9-1 ATS in its last 11 games overall.

(15) San Diego State vs. San Francisco (+10.5)

San Diego State hopes to have its leading scorer, rebounder, and playmaker Jamaal Franklin back in the lineup after he sat out the romp of Point Loma Nazarene on Tuesday with a lingering back injury. The Aztecs have won 29 straight games against California teams and 22 straight overall in December. San Diego State is 4-1 ATS in its last five games.

(10) Illinois vs. (12) Missouri (-1)

Illinois senior guard Brandon Paul has emerged as one of the best players in the country. Paul is one of just three players to lead his team in points (18.8), rebounds (5.1), assists (3.5) and steals (1.5), joining San Diego State’s Jamaal Franklin and Rice’s Tamir Jackson. The Tigers lead the nation in rebounding (46.1 per game) and opponents are shooting just 35.8 percent against them season. Illinois is 1-5 ATS in its last six Saturday games.

Lafayette at (16) Minnesota (-30)

The Golden Gophers are coming off an 11-day rest since their last game, a 70-57 victory over North Dakota State. The extended break, combined with the Big Ten opener against Michigan State looming next on the schedule, could make Minnesota a potential upset victim. The Leopards probably aren't the team to pull it off; however, as they've lost all six of their road games this season and fell 101-49 in their only other game against a ranked opponent this season (Kentucky). The Golden Gophers are 6-0 ATS in their last six games against an opponent with a losing record.

(9) Florida vs. Kansas State (+9)

The Gators – second in the country in scoring defense – also rank ninth in field-goal defense and are defeating opponents by an average of 23.9 points. Florida has held six of its nine opponents under 50 points. The Wildcats are 0-4 ATS in their last four overall.

Western Kentucky vs. (4) Louisville (-21.5)

The Cardinals have won five straight, including a 79-55 victory over Florida International on Wednesday and appear to be a national championship contender. Louisville is third in the nation in steals (11.9) and has scored 35 percent of its points off turnovers, which doesn't bode well for the Hilltoppers, who average 15.9 giveaways per game. The Cardinals are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 neutral site games.

Canisius at (18) UNLV (-13.5)

The Runnin' Rebels will look for their 10th straight win when they host Canisius. UNLV has to be alert defensively as the Golden Griffins are one of the top 3-point shooting teams in the nation. Canisius has won five of its last six games with its only loss during the streak coming at Syracuse. The Golden Griffins are 5-1 ATS in their last six overall.

(5) Arizona vs. East Tennessee State (-24.5)

The Wildcats are off to their best start since winning their first 12 games in 1987-88. Part of the reason is the play of their talented trio of first-year big men, an area they were woefully thin last season. Grant Jerrett, a 6-10 forward, scored a season-high 15 points Tuesday in an 89-64 win against visiting Oral Roberts. Brandon Ashley, a 6-8 forward, and 7-foot center Kaleb Tarczewski are also playing significant roles. That could be a problem for East Tennessee State, which doesn’t have a player taller than 6-7. The Buccaneers are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games following a loss.
