Temple still needs us to lose in order to get the 3 seed. It's a little strange because they're currently ahead of us, but we control our own destiny and they do not. Currently, Memphis being in a 3 way tie is keeping them above us. We play Memphis. If we win out, we will jump Temple on...

5-0? Welcome to the dance. No harm, no foul the last 2 weeks. 4-1? AAC tourney becomes interesting, other midmajor finals become interesting, selection sunday becomes the highest rated show in town 3-2 .... AAC tourney is critical. Might even need to win the thing. 2-3.... just hoping for...

I'm as frustrated as you guys about the final 2 defensive possessions. I'll choose to point out the positive though while we're at it. Tie game... time out with a minute left... isolates Gary in the frontcourt, direct inbounds to him, aggressively takes his man... and 1. In what SHOULD have...

Usually, the impact of 1 game is overstated in relation to the bubble. But I think for UC, we've officially reached the point where every game is crucial. Even 1 more loss before Hartford will make things scary on selection sunday. I'll give an unpopular opinion though... I wouldn't hate...

Yep, I saw him as well I just wasn't sure if I should bring it up because not sure what the team rules are.

Interesting data. I admit I'm less than impressed so far, but you make some good points here about the youth on this team. Also, our SOS has turned out a lot better than I expected for various reasons which should be a factor in what W-L we're demanding of LD.

Not sure if you guys listen to Mike + Mike, but they had Legler on today and he was talking about the necessary balance between having the right amount of guys who want/need the ball in their hands on the floor at any given time. It made me think of our team of solid role players and how maybe...

Hey if they want to make that trade off, I'm fine with it, but I don't think this is news that they value defense over offense. I disagree strongly with the idea that Cobb and Johnson are similar defensively.

I know I'm in the minority on this one, but it's not hard to figure out. Cobb will start once he improves his half court defense. IMO fans will always want the offensive player to get more minutes than he gets.

Rooting for him to get it straightened out, but I found his body language disappointing all year. I think this year hasn't been how he planned it and he has lost interest. Sounds like that may have carried over to academics. I don't know him as a person and he has some ability, but I wouldn't...

Thanks for this thread. Very interesting. Once we play X, our NCSOS will be well within the top 25. You can see they have it 26 on our card now. That is something they have hammered home again and again and the committee has largely followed through. Credit to our athletic department for...

You have Memphis ahead of UConn, but list their record as having more losses. Regardless of which is correct today, Memphis is not finishing ahead of UConn.

I might go back and chart this myself, but I'm curious how many of the turnovers the last 3 games are related to post entry passes. It seems like an extreme amount. I wouldn't go so far as to say we shouldn't ever feed Ellis/Clark on the blocks, but we should probably take a look at...

:eek: no way Once we're in good shape for the tourney, the next thing I care about is the shootout. It's a great rivalry and lately has been a chance for a good win. Besides, winning the 2 biggest home games of the year (UConn/X) would be great for the fans.

They're awful. I'm actually glad about the timing. We're coming off a big win and going to the national champs this weekend. It could easily be a look-ahead game where we are flat tonight. Good thing ECU won't win anyway.

ESPN has the UC game on Saturday. I guess that fact didn't fit your agenda.

I don't think can make the playoffs with our schedule next year, but I don't think we will get Marshall treatment either. If we go 12-0 or 11-1 we have a great shot at the access bowl. Even 10-2 might put us in the mix. Winning out this year does probably play a small roll in giving us a jump...

At it's best, the atmosphere of 5/3 is great. The crosstown shootout on campus is a madhouse. The passion and excitement is high and the noise easily trumps a lot of the bigger, nicer arenas in the region. The downside is simple. The above happens 3-4 times a year now and the rest of the...

I would call or tweet at someone from the ticket office. I don't have experience with this exact package, but in ordering other packs through UC before they have a pretty odd way of determining "best available" relative to row and location. For example, if they have row 3 in 201 and row 10 in...

I am sure this was mostly in jest, but it was pretty bizarre that the Bearcats didn't use defensive time outs and than ran the clock out themselves down 21 with a +17 spread. Normally you would see a garbage time TD there. Not sayin, just sayin :cool:
