Last year was such a heartbreak season. We basically had no OOC big wins besides VCU. We truly need to win this game. I think for all of our sanity. Get us in high spirits. I am sick over the fact that I am in a wedding, Satruday. Pictures from 3-5 then wedding starts at 6:30. I'll be staring at my phone the whole time.

Hahaha we'll try to keep you updated.
 
This is a must win game for the cats, sounds funny this early, but if we want a good seed, it's a must win. And if we win this one I think that'll give me a little more confidence going in and taking wins from butler and Iowa state. If we can do all that we are setting ourselves up to lose max 4/5 games. But the way the AAC is playing so far might no be as difficult as recent seasons, we shall see. All starts Saturday, GO CATS!
 
Have to win the rebounding battle. We easily outrebounded Brown simply due to their lack of size. We barely outrebounded Albany and let up a TON of offensive boards.

I think again we have the size advantage against URI but that only goes so far. We need Clark and Washington to have a combined 16-20 boards. I know it may be due to foul trouble but they only combined for 7 rebounds against Albany. That can't happen Saturday.
 
On the radio show, Coach Cronin said he likes Clark's matchup in the Rhode Island game. Also said he'd like to get Clark inside more, with Washington outside. Obviously that will depend on situation. Would be nice to see a big game from Clark though.

Also Cronin said he could see Caupain doing more heavy lifting in the big games this weekend. He's a game-flow kind of guy and you could see that he held things together for us in the 1st half vs Albany. Also, in the postgame press conference I liked what Caupain and Evans said about this weekend. It was basically "We just want to win". Smart, competitive and focused.
 
Excellent discussion here before a huge game for both teams. URI's out of conf schedule takes a huge hit by missing out on Duke and a very high quality win over the Bearcats. It's been a long time since URI has won a key game like this, but it's also been a very long time since we've had a competent coach and talent with quality depth.

One of the few red marks on KenPom for Cincy seems to be 3pt shooting. Is that level of shooting what you expect or is this just a slow start?

For URI, they've shot very high percentages of 2s and 3s so far and just about everyone who has the green light to launch a 3 has been hitting them in the first 3 games.

Definitely a slow start. We may not shoot lights out this year, but only 3 guys at this point have made more than one 3. And only 4 players have made one at all. That definitely won't hold.
 
Can you ask the Cats to start shooting better starting Sunday?? I'm not sure I want the Rams to see a Cincy team that's shooting the 3 with consistency. No sir, no thanks.

We are shooting 25 percent from 3 and 63 percent from the line. I don't know if we will shoot better against RI but we definitely will over the course of the year. By the same token I don't expect to make 67 percent of our 2 point shots all year. These things will average out.

I'd watch out for Evans, Cumberland and Caupain as our 3-pt shooters. Kevin Johnson's only offense is the 3 and he's ice cold at the moment. I'd say we shoot around 33-35% from 3 this season so we are off to a slow start.
 
Hi everyone.. good luck tomorrow.. I am a college ball fan that will be attending the game tomorrow and I absolutely dispise URI (I'm sure you will after the game) thier coach is a lunatic who you will see stomping and whining to the refs from the tip to last whistle and he will also get half way onto the court on several occasions.

Question: I plan on being loud and very supportive of your team during the game and was just wondering how your fans do it? Is it go Cincy? Is it let's go bearcats? Just let me know how it's done so I can give your squad any extra support I can. Thanks and good luck

Hmm sounds familiar. Mick used to do that before he turned into Ghost Cronin
