OT: How 'bout dem Bearcats!

[cincygrad]

At least one of the city's gingers is worth keeping.

They need to give the leprechaun a lifetime contract. He brings most of Huggins' plusses to the table, and none of the minuses.

Too early to start drinking?

You better start now so you'll be ready to sober up for a few days of plowing weather.

I'm cracking one open (Molson Golden) as I'm typing this.......

Hoping for two victory scotches today....one for our win, and one for Memphis'...

 

[kramer1]

A tie for the AAC would make me puke. Fuck Louisville.

 

[kramer1]

I guess we root for Xavier today? Disgusting.

 

[bengaldoug]

I'm having enough trouble rooting for Memphis.

 

[kramer1]

We really need to win out to get a 3 seed. I won't be happy with a 4 or 5 seed.

 

[bengaldoug]

Before the season started I would have been happy just to get a bid. I never saw Jackson coming, and I suppose I also didn't realize just how good Kilpatrick is. Now I want to win out, win the conf tournament, and get a two seed. Talk about perspective......

I think we'd be right there in contention for a 2 if we win the tourney as well. The stat nerds would say, otherwise. These are the same guys who say RBI don't matter in baseball.

Here is a great write up on Mick and his life and family and how it all ties into the city.

Cincinnati's hometown head coach Mick Cronin has deep connection to city and Bearcats program - ESPN

They would get a two if they win out plus the tournament. I'm a stat nerd myself, and to me the important stat is defensive effficiency. That's the one that makes winners, and we rank sixth right now. Defense travels.

I really doubt it.

Arizona, Florida, Syracuse, Wich St, Duke, Creighton, Louisville, Kansas, Villanova, and also probably Virginia all have a leg up on us right now.

We'd need help.

Arizona, Florida, Wich St, Duke, Kansas, and Syracuse are all locks for a 1 or 2 right now. That leaves 2 spots up for grabs.

 

[kramer1]

Would you rather Syracuse or Virginia win today? That's a tough one. I'd say I'd rather Syracuse win.

Obviously, Creighton and Louisville losing would be awesome.

 

[bengaldoug]

I think I would prefer Syracuse winning , too......

We take care of our business and that takes care of Louisville. The others (Creighton, Villanova, Virginia) would have to make deep runs to stay ahead of us.

Dunk the ball FFS! You're black!

 

[bengaldoug]

I see we are our usual sloppy self today......
