    Crosstown shootout

    People starting rumors about other teams means X is off the schedule? Seems like a stretch to me. I would put a UK game at about 20% chance right now and IU about the same. Even if UK were to happen, that would be a 1 time game and it would mean nothing in future years. I would like to see a...

    Crosstown shootout

    I didn't say it's the only reason for ever having a rivalry. I said it's the main thing that makes this particular rivalry so huge. It has very little to do with the strength of the teams or national importance of the matchup. Picture if 100,000 Michigan fans moved to Columbus. Do you think...

    Crosstown shootout

    Alum or not, this post is pretty much guaranteed to come from someone who doesn't live in Cincinnati. You can't ignore the fact that most of us live and work in places where it is split between UC/Xavier fans. Living in Cincy, I can count the number of Marquette fans on one hand. There are...

    Crosstown shootout

    So when you walked out of 5/3 after we crushed X last time there, you were feeling like we lost? This "lose-lose" crap is ridiculous. In no way is beating Xavier losing. Not in anyone's eyes in the whole country. Even on year's when it's not a great win, it's still a positive.

    Crosstown shootout

    I think it's well past 50/50 with the fans as we sit today. I don't think it will happen though. When the season rolls around and we see that home game on the schedule, it's still one of the 5 or so must have tickets. I think if you re-polled the fans the week of next year's shootout, you'll...

    '12 Transfer (Rice) PG Dylan Ennis

    I don't think Hood is that high either in terms of priority or in terms of likelihood. I think he's a backup plan for us and a priority at some other (possibly bigger) schools. Doesn't seem like a likely match. That is just my opinion though. As for Obekpa/Ennis, we wouldn't be the first...

    Who is going to be 12th team to big 12

    Assuming UL is still here, I don't think there is any question. I actually think there is plenty of reason to be happy here even if they go, but the travel arguement is a losing one IMO. The BE is really no better for travel.

    Who is close to us in the BE if UL moves?

    Probably going... should be a fun trip for anyone who makes it.

    Exaggerating a little now, ya?

    2012-2013 Nonconference schedule

    That's the problem right there. It makes sense to cancel it, but neither school has tons of top 25 opponents beating down their door to play home and home. If we can replace them with a similar program, do it. That's easier said than done though.

    '12 NY PF Christopher Obekpa

    I'm in this minority as well. He is at least as good as Jackson day 1. If I'm wrong, well there is your reason for him to go to STJ right there. I am sure they will have him starting from the minute he walks on campus.

    Conference Expansion: Memphis to Big East

    I still like the Big East for UC, but I'll ask the obvious question. What happens if UL leaves and we don't have other options? That's a pretty realistic scenerio so I don't think it's nearly as simple as leaving if UL leaves.

    Is Mick Leaving to Illinois?

    I guess this is why I asked the question I asked above. We're not bad at post entries because of what offense we run. We're bad at post entries because our players are bad at making post entries. It's that simple. We ran a completely different offense last year and the post entries were as...

    Is Mick Leaving to Illinois?

    Are you talking about the offensive scheme, the players' offensive skills, the offensive results, or what? In general, no I don't agree that it was pretty bad and needed a lot of work. The trend of college basketball right now is that scoring in transition is easier than ever and half-court...

    obekpa on tv

    For the Bearcats or in general? Maybe dominate is too strong, but I'd be shocked if he wasn't our best 5 next year if he comes. Freshman are making huge impacts all over the country and he's among the best. 5-7 minutes is about what JDavis got this year as a frosh. I'll put it this way, if...

    Is Mick Leaving to Illinois?

    I'm with you. I think Thomas did some great things here, especially with his coaching hires. I'm glad we had him at the time. Now, our focus is different and Whit is a better fit as we try to capitalize on our improved performances.

    Man, I have no idea why people hate OSU fans.
