Argentina's Herrmann looking to sign with CharlotteBasketball Betting Lines08/22/2006 - SENDAI, Japan (AP) -Argentina star Walter Herrmann is close to signing a deal with the Charlotte Bobcats. The 6-foot-6 Herrmann, who has scored 48 points in Argentina's two victories in the world championships, said he hopes to ink a one-year deal before the tournament ends Sept. 3. ``They'll give me a physical sometime soon, and the deal will be finalized after that,'' he said Tuesday before Argentina practiced. Bobcats coach and general manager Bernie Bickerstaff said they are working on getting a physical completed in Asia. ``We have an agreement in principle,'' Bickerstaff said. ``We are working out the logistics.'' Herrmann, who plays in the Spanish league, scored 25 points as Argentina beat Venezuela 96-54 on Monday to improve to 3-0. A day earlier, he had 23 points in a 107-72 win over Lebanon. ``We knew he can score,'' Bickerstaff said. ``He's been playing very well.'' With Chicago Bulls forward Andres Nocioni seeing limited playing time because of a sore ankle, Herrmann has taken advantage of the opportunity to showcase his talent. ``It feels great and I've gained a lot of confidence here,'' said Herrmann. ``I've had a lot of minutes in these games, being successful shooting the ball and having a hot hand has really helped.'' Herrmann played for Charlotte this season in the Orlando Summer League. He said his experience there and in the Spanish leagues should prepare him for a career in the NBA. ``Every player who comes to play in Spain says it's the toughest league in Europe,'' said Herrmann.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press.

Work left to do: Villanova, Syracuse, DePaul, West Virginia, Providence Work left to do: Villanova [18-9 (7-7), RPI: 21, SOS: 5] Pounded Rutgers to get back to .500. If Cats can get their last two (at UConn, vs. Syracuse), that should be enough with strong computer numbers and a host of wins away from The Pavilion. The Cats have beaten Texas and swept the Big 5 (never easy in Philly), but have a couple of losses to bubble teams (Xavier, Drexel), too. I still think they'll be OK, possibly even at 8-8. Syracuse [20-8 (9-5), RPI: 53, SOS: 62] History says 10 wins will be plenty, but it might be hard for the Orange to get that last one with a final two vs. G'town, which is trying to win the league title, and at Villanova, which will be desperate for a W. The relative lack of nonconference heft and the weak computer numbers are still concerns, but the Orange have won four in a row and got a very, very big win at Providence on Saturday. DePaul [16-12 (8-7), RPI: 54, SOS: 18] Beat Cincy and should get past South Florida to get to 9-7, but then what? They have beaten Kansas and Cal (right after the DeVon Hardin injury) earlier this season, but also have lost to Bradley and Purdue, among others. They'll likely need a couple of BE tourney wins, too, but we'll see ... West Virginia [19-7 (8-6), RPI: 58, SOS: 125] The game at Pitt on Tuesday night could decide the Mountaineers' fate (barring a deep tournament run). They can still get to 9-7 in the Big East without it by beating Cincinnati, but the nine wins would be against UConn, Villanova, St. John's, South Florida, DePaul, Rutgers, Seton Hall twice and the Bearcats. Beating bubble foes is fine, but where's the beef? Outside of beating PG-less UCLA in nonconference play (still a top quality win), there's not a lot to fall back on (besides maybe NC State). WVU vs. Syracuse would be an interesting debate, as the teams don't play in the Big East regular season. WVU has the best win, but Cuse has played the much better schedule. Providence [17-10 (7-7), RPI: 70, SOS: 33] The Friars likely saw their at-large hopes die at home in the four-point loss to Syracuse, barring an unexpected run to the Big East semis or more. The RPI, bad already, won't be helped by playing St. John's and South Florida in the final two league games.
