Houston

[GarradJ21]

HERE WE GO...Officially the Houston game weekend.

Cincinnati @ Houston
4:00 PM on ESPN

If we win this game, we can seriously start thinking 6 seed or better. We would probably be ranked in the top 20 come Monday as well.

I don't like our chances... at all.

If eliel can’t play that would be a problem

Not liking our chances

 

[jbreeds1]

We're due for a complete game. Haven't put together a strong showing over 40 minutes probably since the UCLA game. I think we assert ourselves as the class of the league and win by 7 or 8. We run the AAC. (not that I'm super proud of that...)

A win almost makes us a "lock" - game is just massive. An L doesn't hurt at all most likely, but a win sets you with wide eyes on what could be. I give us a 30% chance.

We need to play 40 minutes of defense, hit a few shots.

Im just happy we dont have to see rob grey or his man bun.

We're also due for a 40 minute dud...think this one could get ugly

Nice

I'm happy it's not some super early noon tip time. Winning there would be huge, but it's basically a freeroll game. Just hoping we play well but not all too concerned with outcome.

If we start off slow again and then continue to get blown out in the second half I would be worried. We've been able to make some comebacks against some mediocre teams but our schedule has been pretty weak and forgiving so far this year.

what happen

Sprained is ankle in practice on Wednesday

 

[NYCAT]

For a guy with a sprained ankle, Eli showed some incredible "hops" at the end of the bench, during the Memphis game. He looked ready to play on Sunday!

Go Bearcats!

NCAA released their top 16 teams, Houston is a 3 seed. This is going to be a huge game for us, we win tomorrow it could change the whole outlook of this season.

It’s a great opportunity. I think it’ll be hard to win there, but crazier things have happened. A win in Houston...man....seed line would improve greatly with a great chance to keep improving.

Definitely not going to be easy, 40 minutes of focus is the only thing that’s gonna get us a win there. I do think it’s doable though.

I have not paid close attention to Houston this season, but I know they've been pretty hot. Are they just the more complete team? I don't know.

We all know this Bearcats team has struggled to put it all together many times. But they also have really improved in some areas and have show some brilliant grit to take care of business when needed.

The Memphis game was just what they needed in some regards because it was unique to anything they've seen so far. And they scored and hung with them pretty well in the grand scheme.

I'd love to see Jennifer shoot the long ball the same way this game and hopefully his confidence is breaking out. We really need him to take charge at times. Williams has been quieter of late and I'm hoping no one is hitting a wall at the worst time.

But really the offensive aggression has been nice to see and the defense is showing some slight changes. We just have a lot of young players.

This is a Logan Johnson game his rebounding and ability to defend should get him playing time
