Pac 12 College Basketball Preview

Posted on 24th October 2011 in Sports

The 2011 breeders cup betting NCAA college basketball season will be highlighted by the debuts of the new look Pac 12 and the new look Big 10 conferences. Today for your bookie software viewing pleasure, we will be running down the Pac 12 Conference, which now includes the Utah Utes as the 12th team in the conference. Here is what you need to know.

California Golden Bears – The Golden Bears are expected to be the class of the conference this season, as they have several marquee veterans returning for their senior season. With the NBA lockout proceeding, Jorge Gutierrez, Harper Kemp and the Golden Bears, should at least on paper be the most dominating team in the Pac 12 this season. By all accounts, if any team is going to win the March Madness title this season, it should and will be the Cal Golden Bears.

Arizona Wildcats – With the loss of Derrick Williams to the NBA draft, this offseason seemed like a daunting one for the Arizona Wildcats. However, that being said, if freshmen recruits Josiah Turner and Nick Johnson can live up to their potential, the Wildcats should be just fine this season. Last year, as you may recall, as the March Madness tournament carried on, the Wildcats depth proved to be too much of a match for the likes of Duke. With the majority of the depth players returning and the additions of Turner and Johnson, a final four berth isn’t out of the realm of possibility.

UCLA Bruins – One dark horse in the Pac 12 this season, is the UCLA Bruins. The Bruins have been in rebuild mode since a run to the finals in 2008 where they lost to the Florida Gators. Three years later, this is the season that the Bruins have to put up results, or coaching and player changes may need to be made.

Big 10 College Basketball Preview

Posted on 10th October 2011 in Sports

With the college basketball sports betting regular season set to begin in a matter of weeks, fans and handicappers alike are wondering which Big 10 team will win the championship this season. Last season, Jared Sullinger led a veteran Ohio State Buckeyes lineup to the sweet 16 but was unable to make it to the championship. Can Sullinger and his fellow Buckeyes win the big one? Michigan and Michigan State both appear to be improved, and with the addition of Nebraska bookie software agents are having trouble deciphering who will come out of the Big 10. Here is a preview.

Michigan Wolverines – Fielding one of the youngest rosters in the NCAA, expectations weren’t very high for the Michigan Wolverines in 2010 – 11. However, as the season progressed, the youthful Wolverines continued to pull off upset after upset. Last season, Michigan not only made the March Madness tournament, they came within three points of advancing to the Sweet 16 with a come from behind loss to Duke.

This season, the Wolverines come in looking to win the Big 10 title. The loss of Darius Moore will hopefully be countered by the returns of sophomores, Tim Hardaway Jr. John Horford, and Jordan Morgan, along with seniors Stu Douglass and Zack Novak appear to be a daunting starting five. Look for Michigan to continue their climb towards the top of the Big 10 standings.

Purdue Boilermakers – Another team to look out for this season will be the Purdue Boilermakers. With the departures of JuJuan Johnson and E’Twaun Moore, to the Boston Celtics in the NBA draft, all of the NHL stock will rely on the oft-injured Robbie Hummel this season. Coming off of back to back ACL surgeries, if Hummel can play at 100 percent, he could be this season’s Jimmer Fredette.
