Providence

[ralph1950]

Providence beat Louisville by 31.

The Cats are on the NCAA bubble, a 5-1 finish and 2 wins in the Big East tourney takes the Cats off the bubble, anything less and Cat fans sweat on Selection Sunday. All 4 home games are must wins.

Late game, 9 pm, will keep The Ralph up past his bedtime.

Just basing off our team's consistent inconsistency there is no way we win all of our home games during this stretch.

Bearcats have to win this game. L'Ville laid an egg against Providence but L'Ville is also still looking at an NCAA bid at this point.

We don't have the luxury of dropping this game tonight. Providence is tough but if you want this season to end in an NCAA birth you MUST win this game or win out if you lose tonight.

UC - 74 Providence 67

Then I will be buying tickets for the NIT games at 5/3rd Arena.

This game scares the hell out of me. Providence's guards are the real deal. Council, Cotton, and Coleman are all very good, and they have a solid freshman wing in Ladontae Henton (sp?). After our defensive performance against Marquette, I'm a little worried. We definitely need Cash and Dion to show up tonight and feed the ball to Yancy a ton.

 

[UCalum08]

I think Uc struggles in this. I can see them expecting to play good since their backs are against the wall and not be the case. I hope I am wrong but ill still go with a victory. 68-60

This game scares me the 2nd most among our final games (1st would be louisville). But I think the cats come out motivated to play lockdown D.

Cats- 71
friars- 59

Do we really think 5-1 down the stretch and 2 tourney games is necessary? If that's true, we are in deep deep trouble. I was thinking 5 more wins period would do it whether they are in the regular season or the tournament.

Marquette looked like the best team we played this year, and difficult to believe we could beat them with players' D and Mick's coaching lately. The rest are certainly winnable but difficult to imagine us taking all 5, let alone 2 more in the Big East.

That exciting and daunting out of conference schedule has done wonders for our rpi. Maybe next season we can schedule Antarctica U. and Methodist U. for an upgrade.

It also got those underclassman the experience they needed. Oh wait, they hardly played as we were fighting for our lives

They should be up 50-21. Ridiculous.

These announcers are terrible

Can we get some emotion after Gates tears apart the opponent and rim??

[ready2go]

That explains it
