Now that they are here they have a nice matchup in game one that should send them to the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>It will all come down to how much PG Jerome Randle wants to extend his senior season.  He seemed to press against UW and came up with brutal game, 12 points and 4 fouls in 31 minutes.  The supporting cast stepped it up but it wasn&#8217;t enough to overcome Randle and the equally cold Patrick Christopher who shot the same 3\/11.<\/p>\n<p>Without these two leading the way the Bears do not have a chance against a team from the Big East like Louisville.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/affiliates.commissionaccount.com\/processing\/clickthrgh.asp?btag=a_3953b_1052\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/affiliates.commissionaccount.com\/processing\/impressions.asp?btag=a_3953b_870\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Sports Betting at Sportsbook.com\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It was a shock to me when Louisville heard their name called after a befuddling loss to Cincinatti in the Big East tournament.  I guess the selection committee really believes that this team is closer to the one that handed Syracuse two of its losses this year than the team that almost lost by 20 at St. Johns.<\/p>\n<p>The Cardinals have talent.  Samardo Samuels has an NBA body and is getting better at using it.<\/p>\n<p>Against Cal he should be able to get any shot he wants against their slender front line.  The key for Louisville is whether they can get a complete game from their backcourt.  Bomber Jerry Smith is unlikely to play and this team can not afford Preston Knwoles to disappear in his absence.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody knows what you are going to get from Edgar Sosa but if the backourt matchup is even then this game could go to Cardinals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Betting Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cardinals are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Pac10<br \/>\nCardinals are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 games as an underdog of 0.5-6.5<br \/>\nGolden Bears are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600<br \/>\nGolden Bears are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games<br \/>\nGolden Bears are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record<br \/>\nGolden Bears are 18-6 ATS in their last 24 games as a favorite<\/p>\n<p><strong>Free Golden Bears vs. Cardinals CBB Pick<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I expect a spirited performance from Randle who should be in a refuse to lose state.
