Should be a fun game to watch... will it be televised nationaly?

I think it's on the U, so yes. A couple of years ago, espn put it on the U when Time Warner didn't have it yet......a nice power play by those four letter word folks. Thankfully, TWC and them got it going here in Cincy. I haven't forgotten, and I'm guessing I'm not alone.
Just because you have a virtual monopoly, doesn't mean it's going to last forever.

Tonight we should get our first glimpse of Thomas. Another quality big man is going to be needed for BE play. I want to see us attack the basket, get fouled, and open up shots on the outside. Settling for jumpers isn't going to do it, espec since we've been erratic at times.
Play hard!

It is weird that the shootout is on a Sunday, normally it's a Wednesday.

What a fantastic game...too bad we couldn't pull out the win. I thought my heart was going to explode out of my chest on a couple occasions. Couple points in no particular order:

• Cashmere Wright needs to work on his lay-ups, but the other aspects of his game look good.
• Loved the intensity and chippiness between the teams. This was Crosstown Shootout at its finest.
• Deonta looked good in the 2nd half when he got aggressive with his shot.
• Lance, I love you.
