Team Overview:
Mick Cronin's 2009-2010 Bearcat team will be by far the most talented in his four years at Cincinnati.
It starts with senior Deonta Vaughn, a potential first round pick who just may be the best player in the Big East you've never heard of. Vaughn is an explosive scorer (15.7 ppg for his career) whose offense is based around his ability to hit the three.
The Bearcats also add all-world recruit Lance Stephenson to the mix. Stephenson is just a freshman, but already he is as talented a scorer as there is in the country: He's the all-time leader in points scored in the state of New York.
Team Leaders:
Points: Yancy Gates 12.6
Assists: Deonta Vaughn 5.0
Rebounds: Yancy Gates 8.6
Best Player:
Lance Stephenson F 6-5 210 FR
Stephenson is as good a talent that has come through Cincinnati since the days of Kenyon Martin.
My Take:
This is going to be a tough one. The Bearcats are an excellent defensive team with several players who match up well with the Zags. Lance Stephenson might be one of the most talented players the Zags will match up with all year. I expect a low scoring game with the Zags on top, LETS GO ZAGS!
Final Score: Gonzaga 65 Cincinnati 60
