OT: How 'bout dem Bearcats!

[kramer1]

Two questions. How well, and for how long? 12 mediocre minutes won't do. He'll need to play effectively, and for at least 20-25 minutes.

He'll be fine.

Just him being in the game and in the post changes the way teams attack the paint.

All he needs to do is get one block, and then its in their heads that he'll be 100% and they can't attack the paint.

Though, I think he's playing, and I think he'll be OK.

UC also have 2 long stretches coming up in terms of a break. If he can guy out this game, he'll get plenty of time to heal up over the next few weeks.

SMU lost to USF last night.

Without another big win or a tourney run, SMU is outside looking in, now.

 

[cincygrad]

They still have home games against us, Memphis and Louisville. And they have a road date with Memphis as well. So they have a chance to easily make their case (win three of four) or completely fall apart.

Memphis is another strange team.

Can beat anyone scoring 80, or completely fall apart and lose to anyone.

Louisville is going to be tested without Behanan. They are rail thin now in the front-court.

Per Bill Koch, Jackson expected to play.

UC wins by 10+ tonight.

At this moment they are a 9.5 point dog.......I think Louisville covers......

I would wager that Lou covers/wins.

 

[bengaldoug]

Of course I couldn't ever bet against my Bearcats, but I do think Louisville wins by somewhere between 10 and 15 tonight.......Hopefully I'm dead wrong.......

 

[cincygrad]

Easy money -- Take Louisville.

I like our chances better in the rematch in a few weeks (assuming Jackson's health improves).

 

[Cincyfan78]

Sorry...I mis-spoke.

I would wager UC covers. 9 is a lot. UC's defense is pretty good, and apparently Jackson was showing no signs of issues in yesterday's practice.

I still think Lou wins outright, but I don't think that they cover.

What a dumb fucking sport.

Pitino asks for fouls -- He gets fouls. Same thing whenever Duke plays.

I don't blame Mick for losing his shit.

 

[kramer1]

It really is sickening.

Harrell's committed about twelve fouls. I'm amazed they called three. We are for sure getting homered.

 

[bengaldoug]

Awesome win!!!!!

 

[kramer1]

The refs couldn't even decide this game even though they tried. Told ya guys! This team is a BEAST.

 

[cincygrad]

I was wrong. I'm here J-Will style!

I'm a believer. You were right Kramer -- Heck of a fucking team.

 

[cincygrad]

And when have we ever made free throws? I thought I was watching a different team.

Potential 2 seed with a 4 at worst. With Kilpatrick, Jackon, and Rubles this team has a good top 3 players as any team in the country.
