Help Support BearcatTalk:

Really looking forward to this game...found myself watching the 24hrs of bball on espn...i hope UC brings it today...

Go Bearcats!
 
I look for a shorter bench today. Mick knows rpi and resume wise this game is important. I'm hoping for a win today, but my prediction is for a loss. Sure hope I'm wrong but think the Cats have too many new pieces and just aren't flowing together yet.
 
Two newly assembled teams; pretty much anything could happen, but I'm definitely glad we're playing at the Shoe. I'm very surprised the spread is that high.

I'm with you BJ. I felt pretty good after the 2nd exhibition, but the last game was not very good. My gut is saying loss. Both teams have a lot of new pieces. They have been running up a lot of points in their games. This should be an interesting matchup of different styles. It sounds like they are susceptible to turnovers. If we can create a lot of turnovers and score off of a decent percentage of them, we can win. I feel a little better going against the run and gun style of ACC basketball right now better than the knock down drag out defensive style of Big East basketball. This will be a very interesting game and will tell us a lot about this team.
 
N.C. State lost even more production than we did from last year's squad. They do have a borderline top 10 class coming in, but the game being in Cincy gives us the edge. They have freshmen all over the place who will turn the ball over like crazy against our press, and Cronin will be playing his best early-season rotation with the importance of this game. I predict a hard-fought, sloppy 71-66 victory for the Bearcats.

Warren is the obvious danger, but the JUCO Lee had 24 against App. St. Of course, UC's defense is a different animal but the dude shot like 83%......No one on UC's team could do that, even without a defense...hell, they couldn't do that from the FT line! probably don't want this to be a track meet.
 
This is from a comment on a NC State board: "Look for Cincy to go after Dez Lee. He has the kind of in your face personality that will get the juices of a thug program like that all fired up"

LOL
 
We're two years removed from a nationally televised street fight...It's going to take some time before people forget that.
 
i really want this one. mark gottfried went out of way to trash uc when they made the tourney for the first time 3 years ago on espnu.

nothing will be more pleasing then watching uc run his state team out of the gym.
 
justin playing great, till he has one of those moments. 2 fouls and a turnover in the span of 2 minutes..

cats getting wide open driving lane.keep taking it to the rim.
 
Titus Rubles is playing really well, just needed to finish that lay-up. He and Kilpatrick are going to be the only 2 reliable players this year.

Cats still up 2 early, NC State has hit 3-4 from three. Not sure if that will continue.
