Cincinnati vs. DePaul

[bearcat jeff]

This is a game the Bearcats absolutely cannot lose and one they absolutely should not lose. They are even in conference play and this is the type of game you have to put in the W column with Marquette and Syracuse right around the corner.

DePaul only shoots 30% from the 3 but Brandon Young and Cleveland Melvin are both decent from there and have shot 183 ft's between them. These two are by far the bulk of the offense for Depaul and UC can't allow them to make a living at the ft line. Young scored 35 against UConn.

UC's road magic should continue but they have to remain focused on one game at a time. They cannot afford a stumbling block of this magnitude, especially since they have already given one away to St. John.

DePaul is not very good and mick has them out of their funk.

Uc by 15-20

And according to me, monkeys will fly out of my a$$ before DePaul beats us.

Your words have about as much merit as anything Obama says.

I called our big east streak last year when everyone said wed lose to Marquette, ul(at home), Georgetown, and Syracuse.

The only games I've missed this year were New mexico(refs), nd and St. John's.

That is an excellent prediction rate

For the past 2 games, he has been more realistic. 15-20 isn't 2 far off in this one. Must be taking his meds for once.

Or we're playing worse teams and when every game you blindly pick UC winning by 7+ without thought or reason, and then continually find the need to remind everyone when you happen to be correct, it may seem that way once in awhile.

Random thought, but I really like when Cronin plays Jackson at the 5 and Rubles at the 4. I think it brings a completely different team to the floor and we don't have two bigs down low who aren't completely worthless

 

[bearcat4life]

this is a must win game for sure. last year we won at DePaul by 3 and they almost hit a 3 at the buzzer to tie it. I don't think it is going to be that close this year.

UC 71
DePaul 59

I just know this team is way overdue offensively to be making shots. Poor offensive scheme or not UC has missed a ton of open shots and short shots lately. I'd like to see them get some confidence going into Marquette and Syracuse.

Melvin has looked like Michael Jordan everytime we've played him. We have to stop him. I'm tired of watching him light us up.

Im guessing this will probably have to be an espn3 internet game?

This game will have the final score in the 50's, OP watched the tapes of New Mexico and St. John's. UC is OP's personal Super Bowl and UC never plays well at the Rosemont Arena.

I looked at the TWC app too and it was wrong for as well. Looked on my TV and it shows the UC game. All is well, that app is always having problems.

This might be more wishful thinking than a prediction, but Cats win 65-54, Kila breaks out of the shooting slump. He's going to at some point, why not tonight.

I agree, why not tonight. Only problem is I have been saying that too myself for the past 3 games and haven't seen it, especially the Rutgers game. Then after the game I heard sk say he was more focused on stopping either mack or carter I forget which one. So if that is his mindset I'm thinking he will be more worried about stopping Melvin or young.
