I get enough anxiety during games when money isn't even involved....no reason to throw finances into this stress too lol.

Haha I hear you. It totally changes the way you watch the game. I'm not muchh on an NFL fan these days but I have to pick some of the games for my weekly pickem...I'm so wired to watch it through a gambling aspect at this point that I get pissed when coaches make decisions that aren't in the best interest of covering the number.

Besides the free throws at the end evans looked soft and almost scared against iowa st. He needs to decide if he wants to be the man and Saturday is a perfect oppertunity

I think he is also now a huge focal point for opposing teams. I like that he doesn't force stuff though

I agree about the focal point but with his size and skill set he needs to do more. He wasn't even looking to score a lot of times against iowa st just immediately looking to pass, like he wasnt confident it forced troy to force up bad shots. We need 18 or more from him Saturday and to take it at end of shot clocks and when butler goes on runs. Besides the free throws at the end I thought he played awful at iowa st

His awful is a career day for some of the guys...lol! I agree though... I want him to be more aggressive.

I agree. He has shown that he can get any midrange jumper off if he wants to and I bet his shooting percentage from the free throw in is amazing. Worst case scenario should be getting a foul call on the drive. He has a crazy vertical and his handles are top notch. He needs to use it. I know when we do the "pass around the perimeter and hoist a buzzer beater offense," I would rather have the ball in Evans hands before troy's hands

Exactly. He shoots 83% from the line too. If it wasn't for those free throws (questionable foul) he had 9 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists on 4-12 shooting in 42 minutes. He's better than that just looked so timid and Kim's nervous for awhile I got the feeling he didn't want the ball a lot of times. He's way way to good for that. Hoping to see the evans I know he can be saturday
 
I'm really surprised they are favored that much. Must think they'll come of their loss playing pretty hard. If we lose, it'll be a shot or two max, but I don't think that'll happen. Bearcats are focused, I say 67-61, two big road wins in a row.

Agreed. It was overshadowed by Caupain struggling.
 
1 extra ticket for todays game in the UC section. My buddy was so sick over the Luke Fickell hire, he refused to go. Text me on my boost mobile at 5132252075 if you need a ticket :).

Cheer cincy!
