Cincinnati vs. West Virginia

Take West Virginia -12-110 at SIA

This has all of a sudden turned into a very big game for West Virginia. The Mountaineers were sitting pretty at one point in the Big East Conference at 8-2 but they have dropped three of their last five games to move into fourth place in the conference and there is no guarantee that is where they will finish. Following this game against Cincinnati, West Virginia closes the season with games against Georgetown and Villanova, two teams that are both in the hunt for one of those coveted top four positions in the conference. They are coveted because the top four seeds receive two byes in the upcoming Big East Tournament and we all know how important byes are in these conference tournaments.

The Mountaineers lost a tough revenge game at Pittsburgh which came after a home loss against Villanova but they did bounce back with two relatively easy wins against Providence and Seton Hall. West Virginia then played at Connecticut on Monday and caught the Huskies are the wrong time who are once again heating up at the right time. A loss here puts West Virginia either into a tie with Louisville or just a game ahead of Georgetown with a game remaining against the Hoyas and neither of those scenarios is ideal. Head coach Bob Huggins will be facing his former team for the third time since coming to West Virginia and he is 0-2 so far with a loss in each of the last two seasons.

While revenge is no longer in the forefront, it is still a game that he wants to win. As for Cincinnati, it has been quite the up and down season. The Bearcats started the year strong with a 10-3 record including a 2-0 start in the Big East but a loss at home against Pittsburgh started a downward spiral that they have not been able to recover from. Cincinnati is 5-8 in its last 13 games and one of those wins was a non-conference cupcake over CS-Bakersfield. A win at Connecticut on February 13th was the possibility of a start of a big finish but losses against South Florida and Marquette has cooled things once again. The Bearcats got a break with DePaul at home on Wednesday but they close the season with three brutal games that include Villanova and Georgetown after this one. Cincinnati is tied for ninth place with three other teams so getting that eighth spot and one bye seems very unlikely at this point. The Bearcats are only 2-7 in true road games this season and they will be in a very tough spot facing a team that is extremely angry and knows exactly what is on the line.

The extra two days off that the Mountaineers have for this matchup is very important as well as the physicality of this conference benefits teams that have had more time to rest. Cincinnati is just 5-14 ATS this season against teams with a winning record while West Virginia is 4-1 straight up and 3-2 ATS this season coming off a loss. It has also won 11 of 12 games when playing with three or more days of rest which just shows how important that time off can be. 3* West Virginia Mountaineers

Heading into Saturday Matt is on a SOLID 43-31-4 ATS (58.1%) run in CBB and his 10* SUPREMACY remains strong as he is an OUTSTANDING 25-14-2 ATS (64.1%) with his 10* TOP Plays this season!
