OT: How 'bout dem Bearcats!

[kramer1]

Jermaine Lawrence was supposed to be good.

 

[kramer1]

Troy Caupain needs to grow a set of balls.

 

[Cincyfan78]

Not going to get anything from the officiating. They're awful.

 

[kramer1]

We're not capable of coming back from 14. It's over.

This team needs a week off.

 

[kramer1]

Play zone the entire 2nd half and pray that those 2 scrubs who average 3 points a game cool down.

 

[kramer1]

Ok, I'm not one to want to blame the officials...but god damn. Are they on the take?

They've been brutal all season long. Both good/bad for UC.

These officials are terrible. They get some of the basic rules wrong.

 

[kramer1]

The offense has to pick up the pace. Not sure what the fuck they're thinking.

 

[bengaldoug]

If I turn out to be wrong I promise to morph into jwil and man up.

 

[kramer1]

I wish we had fans like these.

 

[bengaldoug]

Caupain has been miserable for the last five games. He can't make a layup lately, and only shows up to turn the ball over.

 

[cincygrad]

I wish we had fans like these.

We would if we had the same arena.

 

[Cincyfan78]

Their arena looks like it holds 7K max.

If 5/3rd were properly constructed, and only held 7K, UC would rock every home game.

5/3rd sucked the minute it opened. Whoever designed that place should have been hog tied, and beaten.

It served it's purpose. It was ridiculously cheap and other teams didn't have modern arenas. It actually was a good recruiting tool for a decade. Look at the regional competiton -- Even the Big 10 arenas sucked at the time.

That's all changed over the last 10-15 years.

 

[kramer1]

Caupain stinks. Johnson stinks. Guyn stinks.

We're in trouble next season.

The issue I have is not that it wasn't new at the time, and I'm sure it did serve its purpose in the 90's, but the sight-lines were never good, and the amount of dead space surrounding the arena never served any purpose at all.

I don't know why they haven't made more movement to just moving it to US Bank. The up-side to moving it off-campus to US Banks and on the Banks is a no-brainer and should have been done yesterday.

 

[kramer1]

This team is spent.

How far do we drop in the rankings? Michigan lost so that's good.

They'll have 7 days off now to rest.

You are right. They looked tired, and Caupain is hitting the wall, and Lawrence missing 4+ weeks is tough to overcome as a freshman.

Jackson and Thomas have played a shit-ton of minutes.

At this point, all you can do if you are Mick, is rest them as much as possible heading down the stretch.

The issue is that US Bank is a dump. It's actually a nice place to watch a game, but it doesn't generate much excitement among the fan base. Especially anyone that's been down to the Yum center, anyone that's been up to Columbus or anyone that's been across town at Cintas.

They need to renovate before making the move. If they move before renovating, there will be no incentive to ever get it done.

 

[cincygrad]

Tonight's performance was easy to predict.

Tired team. Tired since Louisville. Gutsy to pull out that win against UCONN, but not much left in the tank.

The schedule didn't do us much favors to play on Thursday and Saturday. A week break should help.
