Cincinnati Bearcats vs Indiana State Sycamores Picks

Hulman Center

<p>With the NIT semifinals and championship game in Indianapolis this year, it would only be fitting for an Indiana team to be a part of the festivities in the basketball-mad state. Will Indiana State duly oblige, or will Cincinnati stop the Sycamores short?</p>
<p>Selection Sunday was agonizing for Indiana State, who missed out on an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament after losing to Drake in the championship game of the Missouri Valley Conference tournament.</p>
<p>But instead of declining an NIT bid or not putting in maximum effort in the NIT, the Sycamores have embraced the opportunity to play postseason basketball for just the 12<sup>th</sup> time in the program’s history as a Division I program.</p>
<p>As one of four #1 seeds in the 32-team NIT bracket, that means three home games for the Sycamores (30-6). And after eliminating SMU and Minnesota in the first two rounds, ISU will get 40 more minutes at the Hulman Center. There, they are 15-1 this season with a lone loss to Illinois State.</p>
<p>Second-seeded Cincinnati (22-14) didn’t suffer disappointment on the same level as Indiana State, but the Bearcats were in the NCAA Tournament picture until losing too many Big 12 games. But, like the Sycamores, the Bearcats have embraced the opportunity to play in the NIT. And after a tight win over San Francisco, they brushed aside Bradley in the second round.</p>
<p>Will they take out another MVC squad to reach the NIT semifinals for the first time since 1955? Read on.</p>

<h2>Cincinnati vs Indiana State Betting Analysis and Prediction</h2>
<p>Just like Georgia, who will face Ohio State in the first of tonight’s NIT quarterfinal matchups (7:00 pm ET, ESPN), Cincinnati has an excellent ATS record as an underdog.</p>
<p>This season, the Bearcats are just 3-8 SU as an underdog. However, they are 8-3 ATS in that spot, including a 7-2 ATS mark (3-6 SU) as an underdog on the road.</p>
<p>With a smallish spread, this is a spot where I&#8217;ll typically take the team I expect to win to cover.</p>
<p>Of our aggregated picks for this matchup between the Bearcats and Sycamores, one source (Wunderdog) has a predicted score of 80-76 Indiana State.</p>
<p>That outcome—Indiana State and the over—aligns with my views.</p>
<p>The Bearcats are from the bigger conference, have some notable wins this season (at BYU, at Texas Tech, versus Kansas in the Big 12 Tournament), and played Houston within double digits both at home and on the road this season, which is no small feat.</p>
<p>In fact, Cincinnati was my pick to advance from this bracket, with the thought that Selection Sunday disappointment would lead to an early NIT exit for Indiana State.</p>
<p>But this Sycamores team is clearly a special team. And though they did not get to showcase it in the Big Dance, I think there are at least two more games remaining in their season.</p>

<h2>Cincinnati vs Indiana State Best Bets</h2>
<h3>Indiana State -3.5 &amp; Cincinnati/Indiana State Over 155</h3>
<h3>Bonus Picks: Ryan Conwell Over 16.5 points (-114 at BetOnline) &amp; Over 2.5 Made Threes (-125 at Bovada)</h3>
<p>Conwell might well still be kicking himself for not having his best game in the MVC title tilt (13 points, 1-4 3PT, four fouls), but he has put up a lot of points down the final stretch of the season.</p>
<p>Over his last six games, Conwell is averaging 20.8 PPG and has scored 20+ points five times, In the NIT, he had 25 points against SMU (8 of 11 FG, 4 of 7 3PT, 5 of 7 FT) and 23 against Minnesota (7 of 11 FG, 6 of 8 3PT, 3 of 3 FT).</p>
<p>Cincinnati shut down Bradley (5 of 23), a solid three-point shooting team in the second round. But for the season, they are 154<sup>th</sup> nationally defending the three (33.2%). I like Conwell, who shoots 41.9% from three and averages 2.9 made threes and 6.9 three-point attempts per game, to be able to can at least a trio of treys tonight.</p>
