Just being honest here, but I don't think it really matters who coaches for them, if we dont play great we won't win. Not to mention that UCONN actually had a zone offense last night against the 'Cuse with the assistant coach, something we didn't have even with a true head coach. If Dyson, Robinson and Walker each score 15-20, I don't see us winning.

Agreed.

Looks like the game will be on CBS.

 

[Kingsley Court]

Just hope that UC doesn't get embarrassed on national television. Hate to say it but I'm going
Uconn: 76
UC: 62


UC does their thing keeping it close in the first half, then eventually let it slide away in the second.

 

[swg]

I'm ready to start shooting hoops. Be great to beat Uconn today.

 

[BearcatAlum1]

No line yet.

I'm expecting Uconn minus 8. Sound about right?

 

[swg]

That's being generous.

 

[TheShoeFits]

I really have a good feeling about this game. I think the Cats come out with an attitude/chip on their shoulder.

It may just be wishful thinking but I see them really attacking the basket, drawing fouls and dishing it out for an open look.

Cinciy wins by a point 69-68.

 

[BearcatAlum1]

Game Time!

Let's go Cats!

What channel is it on. TWC?

 

[swg]

Channel 20. Its an awful picture, makes FSN look good.

Yes. It is nice to have a place where you can support UC and Mick without getting banned by the Xavier fans that run and have taken over BCN

Ralph we are glad to have you here and you will not be banned for nonsense.

Feels great to talk about our mistakes after a win instead of a loss. Loved the effort, which is a starting point.

 

[Kingsley Court]

Thats true swg. It is nice to be able to talk about UC mistakes and them still winning.

Coupla thoughts on the game.

I'm diggin how Thomas is playing. He's owned the need for him to play inside and has acquitted himself pretty well. Toyloy is doing pretty well too, and I like how Dixon is taking it in smartly, unlike Cash...who plays many minutes, but the assists aren't there.
I also liked seeing Bishop take some 15 footers, which I was hoping to see. Definite reasons for optimism.
