They are 8-12 overall and 1-6 in AAC play. They have lost 6 of 7 overall, but 4 of the last 5 games for them have been @UC, @SMU, v Tulsa, and @Memphis. This is a lot like the UCF game last weekend. I think we are up for the challenge of winning another road game. The coaches have done an amazing job drilling the importance of that into the kids' heads. I'd be shocked if we overlooked them and came out flat. Tough one to guess a spread for, but I'll say we will be -12.5.

UC 63
ECU 52

UC big in this one.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

We are -10. I was way off.

Safe to say we are all impressed with how this team is growing and improving but still can't take anything for granted. Greenville is tough to get to and a fairly tough place to play. The boys are hopefully hungry for more wins and not hungover after what I would consider to be their most complete game of the year.

Cincinnati comes out sluggish, pulls away in the second half...

Really hope we don't come out sluggish in this one. I want to see us continue to progress and that means putting it on the teams we should. My hope is to see 4 guys in double figures and win going away by 20+. Caupain, Clark, Ellis and Sanders are those 4 guys. Lets go Cats!

First time we played them we had 3 in double figures (TC, KJ, Ellis) and Clark had his 8 pt 16 reb game. So I hope you're right on. I'd like to see a good stat line from a bench guy today. I'm still waiting for Cobb to knock some down. He's overdue for a big scoring game.

 

[TNBearcat3]

I'd love to see him get going. Aside from his shot not falling lately I think he's played well, if he can get going offensively it would be big going forward. Best part of this team is they will be peaking come Late Feb/March which is what you want. Compared to last year when we Peaked way to early. It's exciting as a fan! Lets go Cats, Beat ECU.

Holy hell I am hungover today. A nice 20 point victory would sure help the recovery today.

Good thing for 700WLW I guess.

Edit: Oh wow even that broadcast is scrambled! Yikes! Must be an angry x fan with a jammer

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Where is Caupain?

 

[UCalum08]

Any word on Caupain?

 

[UCalum08]

Hi there Cobb.

 

[cincrulz11]

Caupain comes in at 6-4, and it's 14-6 3 minutes later. Nice!

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Not sure why Shaq is in. He doesn't give us anything when he is on the wing against zone defense. And he has gotten burned twice bc he was late to help. Really good to see Cobb get going with 2 shorter shots instead of settling for 3s. He's locked in today.

 

[Bearcatboy]

Hi there Cobb.

If they would just start Caupain and Cobb every game this is what u would get!

 

[UCalum08]

Shaq with a headband. I like it! Still can't make 2 free throws in a row. Lol

 

[jacobkdoyle]

I almost thought Shaq was gonna make both FT lol.

I hope the reason coach pulled him was bc he was tired. Not any other justifiable reason.
