Notre Dame Predictions

[ohioubearcat]

This is as close to a must win without being one haha. Looking at the rest of the schedule I think this is one we HAVE to have, but with that said we still have 9 games left so it isn't a MUST have.

The above statement doesn't really make a ton of sense but I have a gut feeling that if we lose this one tomorrow we begin our end of the season slide. This team has such a fragile feel to it that I think we need some confidence going into the next 3 games.

I believe we continue to play well....Cash has another decent game and we pull out a big victory going into the big game with cuse at the shoe.

Tory Jackson might disagree.

Although I agree, I got to ask, can Cashmere keep up with Cashmere's speed?

 

[Kingsley Court]

Interesting point Greatone, a lot of problems with quick players are, they play too quick and can't think as quick as they are playing, thus playing out of control. Hopefully that doesn't happen tonight and UC can get away with a much needed victory.

I know people dont take much stock in point spreads but vegas has us as 3.5 underdogs. That is about what I expected since we are at ND and its a tough place to get a victory.

I have come to realize that vegas is right more often than they are wrong but I still think the cats will win this one. Just praying Mick finds a way to light a fire under Yancy tonight and he pulls a vintage Fortson performance. Hoping for 20 pts 13 rbd but will settle for 15 and 10!

What are the chances that Yancy lites a fire under his own a$$?

This is such a big game-I love that its at 9:00 (I know some of you that are in the real world dont like it as much). ND can be a tough place to play. I think Vaughn has a huge game going for 18-20 and leading us to victory. Gates will play solid with 14 points 9 boards and LS will have a good 1st half that keeps us in striking distance for Vaughn in the second half. Thats my prediction.

BA1 unfortunately it seems that Yancy needs motivation from outside sources. We would see much more consistency and drive from him if he did this for himself.

Although if I were him I would be extremely excited to dominate Gody tonight and would not need any motivation. Yancy has all the tools to be great....hoping his desire comes around.

Agreed. Yancy has not shown the ability to self motivate. He needs to have someone push him constantly.

9 PM on ESPN is big time.

I love the 9 start time. Should be an exciting game tonight. For the record, I absolutely hate Luke. He has the worst haircut of all time, and I just can't stand him. He also has a weird shot, where it's like he is fading away every time he shoots the ball.

While we agree on Luke's haircut we disagree on the player. I LOVE watching him play. He is always finding way to put the ball in the hoop. Although he takes a lot of shots.

 

[Kingsley Court]

At least we can agree on something about Luke.

 

[Thegreatone]

KC, will you be watching the game live tonight?

 

[DontMissHim]

I actually might be in attendance--I am currently on a business trip near ND and one of my clients (knows how big of a UC fan I am) had some tickets and asked if Id like to join him. Hopefully things work out and ill be able to support the cats on the road!

 

[Kingsley Court]

Right now I'm planning on it. You?

 

[Thegreatone]

Good to hear.

DontMissHim, I hope you can make it down to the game. UC needs more loyal fans such as yourself to support them.

I am glad there is still die University of Cincinnati fans still out there like yourself and others on this board.

If we keep showing support for UC we will suceed and become the best athletic program possible.

 

[Zympher#1]

Luke is a good guy, just because he may look weird doesn't mean he isn't a great player. He should have a good game tonight for ND.

 

[Kingsley Court]

Never said he wasn't a great player, just that I don't like his game. It may have to do with his haircut, it may not.
