I agree with Jeff. I gotta give credit where credit is due. They lost their entire starting 5(two unexpectedly), their top five leading scorers, and had two of their freshmen ineligible. Think of it this way for UC this year: -We lose Parker, Wright, and Mbodj. -Hypothetically speaking...

I hate X as much as the next UC fan, but Mack did a great job with the talent he had at X this year. How that team beat Memphis, SLU, Butler, Temple, and nearly VCU I'll never know. No Dez Wells, No Mark Lyons,two of their freshmen ineligible, losing all five starters, and their leading...

I agree with you. I think the SEC is not a reality at all. BUT(and this is me just dreaming), if UC joins the SEC, how many football recruits would we steal from OSU? It would be great to rub it in their faces.

BINGO. SEC would be a homerun financially. Sure we'd take our lumps in football but bball we would compete. Still I think its a pipe dream

Hilarious. I think deep down this Ralph guy knows that there's a lot more changes coming. He's just trying to get a rise out of people.

Good points...I didn't really think of it that way. Bottom line is I'm Glad they are taking a more aggressive schedule approach to the OOC. I think it will help build more excitement for the team overall and hopefully that translates into great attendance in November/december

So for bball we have NC State coming in.SDSU coming in.Michigan coming in.Whit is talking to C7 schools as well. It's a miracle! All in one offseason! All these years people were telling me that 'It was impossible to schedule quality OOC opponents'. Now in one offseason we get deals with...

I'm not disputing the lack of inside game or the injury to Cash. I'm disputing the fact that many on here are blaming Cash's injuries as the sole reason he individually and the team struggled post depaul. My argument is that the strength of schedule is the main proponent of the team's...

But to blame his performance solely on the injury is disenginuous. The level of competition increased dramatically. Big East play brought everyone's numbers down.

Not saying we 'didn't play anyone good'. Just saying the quality of opponents in our OOC did not prepare these particular players for the Big East grind. Last year it worked out fine because the team was much more physical/tougher. Sure there was a difference in his play but you don't think...

I keep seeing people blame the 2nd half lack of results(at least Cash's numbers) solely on Cashmere's injury. I don't think it was a coincidence everyone's numbers, including Cash's, went down substantially during conference play. The competition became tougher and that was the main reason why...

Comparing Kansas to UC is apples and oranges. Kansas is a National Championship contender. They have plenty of other top flight players. It's much easier to 'have the balls to sit guys that aren't performing' when your bench players are also top flight players and its not a complete detriment...

Tubby Smith was fired from Minnesota today. Tubby Smith: 2007–2008 Minnesota 20–14 8–10 6th NIT 1st Round 2008–2009 Minnesota 22–11 9–9 T–7th NCAA 1st Round 2009–2010 Minnesota 21–14 9–9 6th NCAA 1st Round 2010–2011 Minnesota 17–14 6–12 9th 2011–2012 Minnesota 23–15 6–12 T–9th NIT Runner-up...

To be fair, UConn did not have Napier when we played them(USF beat UConn by double digits the game before without Napier). That said, UC can definitely win this game. Will Creighton handle our pressure? Can UC effectively guard McD without fouling? I'm very concerned about focusing too much...

Finally Bearcat Mick is banned. Now if we could only ban him from the ESPN Conversation boards...He is going nuts on there

Sensationalism = more readers = Money It's like the AM radio model. Say outrageous things enough to get people to call in The Enquirer is dying with their new subscription model anyways. I will say this. Xavier's beat writer Shannon Russell is very good. She's all over every piece of X...

Completely agree with your agreement completely agreeing with his post. McD(great nickname) does very well getting to the line and drawing fouls. Our guys have GOT to play smart guarding him or else they will rack of the fouls pretty fast.

Watching this Wichita State Creighton video highlight game... Doug McDermott is unbelievable. Crossovers, step backs, mid rage, 3's, pump fakes, post ups, drives to the hoop Just deadly from inside and outside. How do you guys see us guarding him? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6-2XzfR4UY

They put up 84 against Wisconsin on a neutral floor...I'm sure they've seen every gimmick in the book to guard McDermott. Wisconsin gives up 55.9 ppg(10th in the country). Really concerned about McDermott drawing loads of fouls against our guys and punishing us at the FT line. The guy gets...

Great points. The game should be very entertaining. Cash, Kilpatrick and Parker should get a lot of open looks. It's also interesting to note that Creighton doesn't go very deep Cincinnati cannot get into foul trouble though. Creighton is deadly from the FT line. I'm very concerned...
