With OOC almost a wrap for the 2018-2019 season, I thought it would be fun to breakdown each player to this point on a high level overview. I'm sure some of you can break it down further with in-depth stats and efficiency:
Cumberland: Doing for the most part what we thought he would do. The...
Wow that's interesting. Lets redo it and take the 4 seed so we can erase that horrific 22 point lead meltdown.
I don't look up all the metrics that go into seeding and rankings. I felt like I was really only extremely impressed with our wins last year @UCLA, @WSU, and Houston in the...
Lets use the example below to predict our seed:
Beat UCLA and SC State finish 11-2 OOC.
Protect Home court and lose to Houston on the road, UCF on the road, and Temple on the road.
15-3
Overall 26-5. What seed? and if this isn't a 6 seed or better that would be nuts.
How the heck did we get a two seed then last year.
This is how I look at it:
OOC:
UCLA wins cancel each other out (if we win Wednesday).
Miss St last year and UNLV this year cancel each other. With UNLV being on the road.
We lost to Florida and Xavier last year and lost to OSU and Miss State...
If we win, this will be the first win against a guaranteed tournament team, correct? Obviously NKU (or others) can win their conference, but I'm meaning again an at large bid. Assuming UCLA is truly a team to make the tournament. Xavier is up in the air.
From this breakdown (always appreciated) it would sound like we are going to lose by 10. We haven't been great on the defensive rebounding side of things and if they are that good on offensive rebounding then we are in trouble. If we are relying on 3 pt shooting because they are a great 2...
What a slow week. I can't wait to see what the spreads opens up at tomorrow.
I go back and forth in my thoughts on what the outcome will be for this game, just hoping we come ready to play.
We can't depend on three point shooting but def. would like to see some go down for Cane come...
He def. needs to stay his senior year IMO. He will get so much hype next year and I don't think he's fully ready for the NBA. He shouldn't hurt his chances by leaving too early. Jake had the natural athleticism for the NBA.
As long as his family and people around him convince him to stay...
Nice breakdown. I know you've been bummed about the Paradise Tournament but like you just stated it will be good for the team since a lot of our other games are going to be tough including conference play.
Of all years, we really could use a grand transfer PG. I know Cronin doesn't usually...
New working list
@OSU
@Xavier
UNLV
Tennessee 12/18/2019
Neutral vs. IOWA 12/21/2019
Paradise Jam..3 games I believe since there's 8 teams (Bowling Green, Fordam, Grand Canyon, Illinois State, Nevada, Valpo, and WKU)
5 games to fill.
Chad just said it doesn't look like NKU is a go next year so it looks like here is our OOC so far:
@OSU
Michigan (I don't know who is home or away, but I'm thinking Mich will be home first)
@Xavier
UNLV
Tennessee
Neutral vs. IOWA
Paradise Jam..3 games I believe since there's 8 teams (Bowling...
Chad just reported on Twitter that Tennessee and Cincinnati will start a Home and Home next year. We get the first home game. December 18th.
Side Note: Didn't know that there was no guarantee that we are playing NKU next year giving the above comments by sedziobs
Cincinnati Bearcats (9-1) @ Mississippi State Bulldogs (8-1)
Saturday night 8:30 PM SECN
Mississippi State is currently ranked #22 and after beating Clemson this weekend will probably #20 or #19.
This is the 4th game of the 5 hard game stretch. This will be the most difficult test of 5 games...
