Cincinnati vs West Virginia Prediction Thread

Big game.

If we can beat Louisville and West Virginia in the Beast Tourny it would really help the fan base out a lot.

Of the top 4 teams in the Big East I would most like to play WVU. We are going to be tough to beat 2 times in 1 year.

Keep dominating the boards and we can win. If we rebounded better last time we played we would have won.
 
Our 3rd game in 3 days. Hopefully MC will continue to play Wilks, Parker, and Dixon. Providing some scoring and keeping guys fresh.
 
We can beat WVU. The Big East officials have let the teams play in the first 2 rounds. If they let us play and we hit some shots we can win.
 
I really think a big game by Deonta will be needed. By big I mean 16 points. I think maybe three 3 point shots and a basket. End with 4-6 FT's to end the game.
 
I wonder if tonight is the night we finally start to miss Rashad Bishop. WVU is very tall at the 2 and 3 and not having his size and strength to combat that could pose problems.
 
Not a Bishop fan. This team has more fluidity and passion without his bad shots/stupid t.o.'s. He brings great on the ball defense, but honestly Ibra has been stepping up. The kids playing now have a great chemistry and intensity. I don't think its a coincidence that we won without Bishop, DV, and Toyloy last night.

Larry Davis will be our X factor.....He is fresh, can play D, and really our only guy who can get hot from behind the arc.

If we are looking for larry davis to play a key role in a win, this team is in a world of trouble. Larry has not made a shot, let alone a three, in a LONG LONG time. His defense is nothing special either...

Larry will play to keep people "fresh" which is the most annoying statement ever. Sure playing every night wares on people, but we are talking about 20 year olds, who are used to played AAU ball and possible back to back games in a single day. Not saying its not a factor, but I dont believe its as big a deal as everyone makes it out to be. If Ralphy was out there he would need a month off, but these are finely tuned D1 athletes, they can handle it. Mr Clean prepared them for this.

haha funny and good post
 
OK

21-16 w/ about 4 min to go in the first half. Not exactly lighting it up.
 
Gotta be happy with the first half. Down big and fought back. In regards to Great1 ( I think he started the thread) Bilas was talking about how UC was playing TOUGHER. Keep it up and I see a W tonight. For how poor they started, they are still in the game.
 
Very happy with the way the Cats came back. Could of easily laid down after that start. Buckled down and stayed tough. Another half like that and they have a chance.
 
LS 3-8...7 pts, 4 rbds
DV 2-5...6 pts
IT 1-1...2 pts, 1 rbd
JP 0-0...0 pts
YG 0-3...0 pts
 
UC could well end up winning this game, but their offense (roughly speaking) is about as ugly of one as I've seen in memory.
 
Lucky!

But why put Dixon in? Cold off the bench, not very impressive dribbler as it is...
 
1.) Why is Dixon in at the end of the game?

2.) Why isn't he smart enough to give it right back to Vaughn, who wasn't guarded?

3.) Why are we fucking cursed? 2 times WVU has done that shit to us...
 
Agreed on all accounts. Thomas missed way too many bunnies. Why is Dixon in the game? Why isn't UC gaurding the in bounds?! Make it tough to throw the ball in. Yancey was ineffective standing where he was.

Lance took over in the second. Thought that's the lance we would see all year, still encouraging for next year.

Saying all that, you gotta be happy with their effort. Cronin had a few bad calls, IMO, at the end of the game, but he really coached a good game. I think Cronin proved this tournament that he is a good coach. He really grew on me during the tourny.

If nothing else, this tournament gives all UC fans a lot to look forward to next year. Lance really came into his own, and I can really see him leading UC next year.
