Looking through the teams ranked ahead of us very few are wart free. Most have a guy loss on their resume. Heck Butler got beat by Indiana St. as a example. Many have also had narrow winning margin wins against really out manned competition. This team is playing well. They are also improving weekly. Enjoy the ride folks. As many on here are longtime program supports this kind of team has not been the norm.

Agree completely. Also, I really like that this team is comprised of a lot of guys that are easy to root for. Whatever you think of their game, Troy and KJ are well spoken and represent our program with class. Jacob and Gary are superstars, but both freely defer to their teammates on the offensive end (arguably too much at times). Kyle loves this program and wants soooo badly to perform for his teammates more than himself. JJ completely rebuilt his game because his coaches told him he needed to. with the possible exception of Quad, they've all bought in to Mick's mantra of rebounding and deflections on defense and make the extra pass and shoot if you're open on offense.

I'm enjoying this team and this season more than any Mick has ever put together. I just hope they keep it going and keep improving.

Go Cats!
 
Who are you talking to? The overwhelming majority of posts in this thread are saying good things about the team and the game last night. We weren't perfect but you make it sound like you've read nothing but negativity. I don't see that at all. You also talk about us being a different style team? Not really anymore imo. You go on to say yourself that we can win any type of game...so we really don't seem to be completely stuck in the rock fight style. It has happened, yes. But it has been more rare this year than any in recent history. I mean, we're averaging about 80 ppg halfway through the season. A lot of things people are typically negative about don't apply nearly as much to this team. I think the tone on the board reflects that. I'm really not sure what you're seeing. But the bolded parts feel like strawman arguments to me. Or at best apply to an extremely small minority.

You're completely right, per usual. I guess I'm just a little more positive, read through the posts during the first half, yeah everyone was raving. I understand criticism, but there is two sides to it, and just seems to me a lot of people choose the negative look. Said it before, I'll say it again, it's a Cincinnati sports fan thing.

Yeah I don't see many "unbeatable" teams this year, a lot of good teams, but they all have their weaknesses
 
I finally got around to watching the game. I was getting married on game day! Some things actually do take a front seat to UC basketball but not many...Lol.

I thought we played great and we were in control and confident. We are starting to knock down that 3 shot! Defense was amazing again! Couldn't be happier with the team and my marriage to a beautiful girl (obviously not from Xavier)!!

Great weekend!

Congrats!!

Did you tape the game or are you watching it somewhere else? I tried looking at YouTube and can't find it. I too, was at a wedding. Watched a little on ESPN 3 but saw the score and were in control the whole game.

I'd love to watch it.

Funny thing...She is a former FSU Golden Girl (dance team)...Big time FSU fan (football). But she is going back to school getting her nursing practitioner degree online at UC. Totally coincidental...But I'm extremely happy about that!

I watched the game on ESPN the next day. I think on watch ESPN. Best thing was there was no spoiler. It does not list the score!! I assumed the replay section would list the score. Just wanted to pass this along for the few like me whom did not know. The stream was crystal clear too (most of the time). They skipped half time, but kept commercials during the half's.
