Long Beach St 49ers versus Louisville Cardinals NCAA College Basketball Picks ESPNU TV Monday November 28th 2011

college basketball picks

College Basketball picks is playing on the Louisville Cardinals -9 ½ points against the Long Beach St 49ers.

Long Beach St will not sneak up on Louisville.

Coach Rick Pitino has a talented group this season for his Louisville Cardinals crew.

The Cardinals play fantastic field goal defense and their pressing style on the Long Beach St ball handlers will cause turnovers.

Long Beach St is weak on the defensive end of the court so Louisville will not have to work hard for their baskets.

The key to defeating and covering against a style like the Long Beach St will be the ability of Louisville to go deep into their roster by rotating fresh players on the razor thin depth of the 49ers team.

With fresh legs defending Long Beach St they will not have good looks at the basket and will give up tons of easy hoops to the Cardinals in transition.

College Basketball Picks will play on the Louisville Cardinals -9 ½ points.

They tip off this college basketball game from Reliant Stadium in Houston Texas at 7:25PM Eastern Time with CBS providing the television coverage.

St Mary’s big man Omar Samhan has not had much competition in the paint in the team’s victories over Villanova and Richmond. Baylor has good size down low to deny Samhan and perhaps have one of the best inside outside games left in this NCAA Tournament. There are just too many options for the Bears to find offense in LaceDarius Dunn, Tweety Carter and Ekpe Udoh to defend. With this game in Houston this Big 12 conference team will have the home court advantage against St Mary’s of California. Take Baylor and lay the points.
