@Iowa State

Gary is a game time decision. I imagine it would be the same whether he was playing or not...lol!

Good Lord! Take a 2 weeks off from the board and everyone is banned. lol

UC doesn't have to many chances for good wins left. Exp when conference plays rolls in. Whoever side the schedule isn't really good is right on the money with that statement.

Mick has failed so many times in these chances to snag good OOC wins early in the year. Mick has a chance to make a statement tonight.

With that said, Iowa St. by 8.

Took our Cats +6. Washington will have a huge game tonight.

A win would be fantastic. Reality is this is a tough spot against a very good team. If we lose a tough game, I would say there is no shame. With that said UC 65- Iowa St 61

Couldn't disagree more. The non-conference schedule is not very good. Yes, @Iowa State and @Butler are good games (and of course Xavier) but the rest of the schedule is not good at all. I mean for comparison look at Xavier's next 4 games. Keep in mind none of these are tournaments, these are games they scheduled individually: @Baylor, @Colorado, Utah and Wake Forest. That's good scheduling.

That's good scheduling? This is what I'm talking about. We play 4 ranked teams non conference, Baylor is Xavier's only one.. but you give them credit

 

[Jon Rycek]

Go cats! 71-67, time for some pay back.

Just looking at Iowa state games so far this year, I feel our offense isn't too far behind theirs. Their per game avg is through the roof solely because of the 130 against citadel or whoever it was. While they are definitely a good offense, I feel the matchup is a pretty even one. They have score 73 points in every game except the game against Citadel.

Love the cats but Clark less than 100 percent and Washington in foul trouble it will be a double digit loss.

I would be worried most about Washington foul trouble. It would hurt big time with or without Clark. If he stays in the game...we will have a chance.

Gary Clark will play

Gary Clark will play

Gut feel? Or source?

Nice!

 

[bearcatbacker82]

Gary Clark will play

Idk why but I feel Scott is the better option. He pressures the defense differently because he faces up more and is bettter off the bounce. Gary just has the experience but defensively Scott will be his equal very soon IMO

If Evans and Washington stays, this team will be a top 15 team next year. ( we look to next year a lot with this team lol)

can we let scott play for a bit more than 70 minutes before we anoint him king and put him in the ******* hall of fame? holy shit. he could play fine and some of you guys are going to be hugely bummed about it because your expectations are through the roof. pump the ******* brakes. he hasn't even played a minute against a halfway decent team yet.

Lol relax. If you don't agree then let it be. If I feel he has a chance to be better than Gary then let me live. I don't expect too much in offense but I expect him to be able to grab boards and block shots matches up against a 6'5" opponent. Put the gun down ! Lol

Some of you in this board have no freaking lives. You attack people who speak positive about the team they love and your bitterness won't even let you dream big. Go cheer for a different team if you don't like how I view my team. Btw I'm sure lipscomb is ten times better than any high school team he has faced. That has been some of the better competition he has faced in his life and he performed well. So leave it alone

 

[Mcginnjw]

This a huge game tonight. I am glad Clark can play. We need to win either this game or Butler and beat Xavier and I think we are going to stay ranked for the remainder of the season.

Right lol. Yes he's played pretty good so far, but saying we should start him for his defense over the conference defensive player of the year is a little much

Gary Clark was the conference defensive player of the year. In my opinion Scott is not on his level at this time.
