Next Stop - Louisville

[CaptDale]

One down, two to go. Defensively, we should be able to contain Louisville, but individual matchups will be tough. Dieng is my biggest worry. He, like Cheikh, has a tendency to foul if you take the ball to him. So it would behoove us to drive the lane, get the ball to our bigs (even if they don't know what to do with it), and try to get ourselves to the stripe. He'll block a bunch, but let's get him in foul trouble early. Whoever draws Smith has to stick like glue to him. Cash and Siva are a good matchup.
Shoot the Birds!

I am pretty worried about this game and scratching my head on thinking how we are going to score. UL defense is outstanding and I don't see how we get to fifty on em. For some reason I think Chane will have a monster game, we don't have anyone that can matchup with him and he will be looking for revenge factor. I hope this isn't a repeat of the ND game from a week ago, I can't take another national televised embarrassment again.

I hope yesterday brought this team some confidence but let's face it, UL is going to force us to shoot a lot of threes and if those aren't falling it could get ugly. It would be awesome if we could steal this one but UL needs it just as bad as us to stay in the race for 1st place :-/

UC-48
UL- 64

I could see a big UofL win but think this game will be much like the BEast championship game. The team that turns it over less and has something going from outside will win. I will be pulling for an upset with everything in me but the way UC is shooting I can't see them winning on the road in Louisville. 58-52 Cards.

Uc matches up better with the ville than nd. Playing against athletes...

We need a solid game from SK and ______ (insert favorite sub here) to win this game. Sanders, Shaq, Parker not going 1-9 from the charity stripe, someone else will have to step up with the scoring.

I have a feeling JaQuon slept in the gym last night on the FT stripe. I hope he gives his right shoulder some rest after shooting 1000 FT's I'm predicting he doesn't miss more than one FT vs. UL. You know if the game is close they'll be fouling him at the end. Have confidence, JaQuon!

I think uc will roll in this one. Ul will be overconfident

[cincycpaw]

We'd be alright if our cats would drive to the hole the way smith did against SU.

 

[mdchick]

I think it's going to be cash that goes off in this one, and the game will come down to the last possession

 

[UnivCincy]

The bigs are a question mark, obviously. Dieng, Harrell, and Behanan are all capable of having monster games.

Cash's defense is also a question mark since the injury, though he still shows tremendous heart (see: the near-steal yesterday, after running the full length of the court). Peyton Siva, though he makes a lot of mistakes at times, is quick.

For some reason, Smith doesn't scare me too much, as Parker and Sanders will help neutralize him with pressure defense.

We have to protect the ball, obviously. I'd like to see Shaq Thomas get more minutes in this game. As it was already mentioned, Dieng likes to foul, and the more we go to the rim, the more likely he is to get into foul trouble. Shaq can get to the rim.

My heart says: UC 97; UL 34.

My mind says: UL 62; UC 54.

I have never responded to the crap you post on here, but I think it is the time. I will ask two questions.... what in god's name makes you think that they will be overconfident? and if they are overconfident, why does that mean we will win by 13?

 

[bearcat4life]

I think this will be similar to the usf game we played in tampa last year. I think they just have more scorers and it is at Louisville. therefore, I will give them the slight advantage in what will be a highly competitive game in which jay bilas will complain about both teams checking each other.

I need a LIKE button as soon as possible.

 

[JumpinJack5]

Did we ever have a shot for Harrell like we had for Chane? I know we went after him for awhile...

 

[westsidecat]

i hate louisville.

i hate chane.

i hate 15 seconds rick.

i hate the fact mick worshipes the ground he walks on.

Yeaaah buddy. I can only hope the players feel the same as you. This is awesome lol

Louisville 63
Cincinnati 44

Don't see it being close guys, UC just isn't as good as we thought they'd be. Mick has failed us in landing a quality big man, not a project.

 

[UCalum08]

I am nervous about just being able to get to 50 points here. I think a lot of people are forgetting about how good UL's defense and on the ball pressure they have. The way our offense has been in the last 10 games this could get ugly. Both teams need need to score to set their press up, but they are better at scoring.

There is no way we have a chance at winning this game if we get our first points at the 14:00 min. mark and follow that up with a couple 5-6 min droughts without a fg. I hope UC can figure something out.

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

Cincinnati won against UConn without making a field goal the last 7 minutes, the drought was like 6 minutes against G'town and 9 minutes against Pitt to end the games.

 

[westsidecat]

Yeaaah buddy. I can only hope the players feel the same as you. This is awesome lol

i hope so too.

i want this one bad. i remember a few years ago cincy wes a heavy dog @ ville and walked away with a win.

i also think louisville bolts for the acc after the season is over and this is the last game for awhile.
