Not sure if it is on tv. ESPN will probably only have it available on 360, and FSN already has the Xavier game at 8:00pm.

If UC loses this game, my rage will burn with the fire of 1000 suns.

I guarantee a UC victory vs DePaul on Wednesday. If UC loses I will by lunch for the first 10 members who show up at the Blue Ash Skyline on Thursday.

That's a load off.

And instead of lunch at Skyline, can you just give me a Gold Star gift certificate? I like my chili to taste good.

O boy, you cant be serious here.


Ralpy, ima hold you to this because frankly Depaul has had our number in the recent past. Uh oh!

 

[catsfan32]

Gold Star? No way you like that rubbish! This game won't be as easy as everyone thinks, sadly Depaul has been playing decent basketball lately and well we all know how we have been playing. I still see a W but not an easy one. Oh and if we do lose I would like a reg 3 way with 2 cheese coneys please.

 

[Kingsley Court]

Everyone knows the drill:

Skyline 3 ways, Gold star cheese coneys.

"The one thing our team has to understand is DePaul has been in every game for two months," said Cronin. "They were tied with Louisville with six minutes to play in their last game. They beat Marquette, they almost beat Syracuse, they lose by seven to UConn. they lose by eight at Seton Hall. People are not blowing them out. They play too hard and they have athletes."

For a team that lost to Seton Hall, St. John's and Marquette, underestimating DePaul would be foolish. They've already canned their coach (Jerry Wainwright) and they're being led by interim Tracy Webster.

"Tracy Webster brings Bruce Weber's defense from Illinois," said Cronin. "You can tell he worked with him by the way they defend you."

If Bruce Weber doesn't ring a bell, it was his Illini that gave UC one of it's most embarrassing NCAA tournament losses ever, 92-68 in Columbus.

Fortunately, this DePaul team has struggled offensively. Still, they managed to beat Marquette 51-50, something the Bearcats couldn't do this past Sunday.

"Big East, they're averaging 59 points a game," said Cronin. "They struggle to make shots at times. When they do make shots they can play with anybody. You'd be remiss if you didn't give Tracy (Webster) credit. Keeping today's kid positive and competing and playing hard is not an easy thing to do. It's also a credit to their kids."

I'm showing channel 310 on TWC Digital.

 

[Thegreatone]

I will be in attendance tonight and I am excited for this game. I can't help it, it is a curse.

 

[swg]

I hope you track what the win/loss record is based on your attendance. I know a guy who goes to football games and his team loses every time. Fans have banned him from seeing games live.

The loss being Syracuse.

Football I have been 9-0 in the past 2 years. The last loss i saw was WVU when Barnett was a freshman and torched them.

There needs to be a fund set up so that you go to every game.

[swg]

Nope. Apparently some blogs are media, and some are simply 'little blogs'.

 

[lumberjack]

Bet the Bearcats on this one. Stay away from betting the rest of them on the winning side. Stay away from the casino. Got me last night.
