Scouting Harvard

[BearcatSpaniard513]

Ya I am really sick and tired of everyone picking Harvard. I am in a couple bracket pools and literally everyone except for me has picked Harvard because the "listen to the experts". All of the so called "experts" are giving cincy no love outside of Seth Greenberg

I think picking the 12 over the 5 seed has just been the thing to do the past couple years

Seen Obama is on the Harvard train thats just sweeping the country by storm picking them over the CATS... Sports Illustrated had Harvard as well last night winning, I'm sorry but was Harvard on national tv all year, when did everyone see them play?

GO BEARCATS!!!

Well... he did get his law degree from Harvard.

I love going into the tuna-mint with a chip on our shoulder. Much better than expecting a free ride to the elite 8.

Probably not a bad thing to do, 3 of the 12 seeds won last year.

First few questions to coach Amaker were about rumors of him becoming next BC coach.

Spokane Side Note

An interesting tidbit that may or may not A) explain MSU in Spokane and B) aid MSU with fan support: MSU coaching legend, Jud Heathcote, calls Spokane. WA home.

NC Central does play the correct type of game to beat Iowa State because they slow tempo and grind out possessions. However, they are a lot like UC in they rely heavily on Ingram. He scored 29 against UC, 29 against NC State and 37 against Wichita State. It could be close for a while but ISU has too many weapons.

I would be happy for anyone to boot Iowa St. I think they're the worst matchup for UC in the whole region. Iowa St has multiple guys that don't even care if they're open. They just drill contested jumpers all day and don't even bother that much with trying to get open. That's a weird offense and considering by far the strength of our team is not allowing easy looks, I think it's a problem. For that matter, I don't think Virginia's defense would bother them all that much either. Someone is going to have to outscore them or just hope less of those shots fall than normal.

Exhibit A of why people from Harvard really aren't as smart as people say they are. Time for them to get a dose of Bearcat basketball....

Good thing I'm at work! Give us the play by play!

Titus, JJ and SK spoke. They all showed Harvard respect, but said if they play Cincinnati basketball they will be okay. SK essentially said they don't expect to blow any teams out in the tournament, they just want to have more points at the end.

JJ said they want to be aggresive.

 

[Levettation]

Cronin up next after the break.

 

[Levettation]

Cronin reiterated what JJ said, their goal is 40 deflections. Cronin says they are undefeated the last 2 seasons with 40.

Mich St players talking now. Said they are looking forward to playing Virginia. Someone said what about the 2nd round and they said Harvard should be a cake walk.

Just kidding.

Haha izzo would have been pissed at them, but honestly besides greenberg i do not think anyone has us beating harvard, and i love it. The players know that and play their best ball when no one believes in them, im confident we beat harvard and play great against msu and win. Just like when we went to Louisville the 1st time. Our offense will look better as we are playing new teams for the first team, and our defense will look just as good

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

Harvard is the most commonly picked upset on ESPN at around 30%

 

[bearcat jeff]

Think the CBS people picked Harvard 6-4. One thing is for certain, around 2:30 tomorrow we will know.

 

[bearcatsam]

kind of tired of the experts. I am ready to get started. I for one don't have a worry in the world about tomorrow. Harvard is coming in knowing they are "favored" by everyone outside of cincy...makes me sick. Cincy has something to prove and the best seniors in the country aren't gonna let them lose.



cincy 71-57

There could be nothing better than everyone picking Harvard. UC plays 10x better when they have a chip on their shoulder. Instead of complaining, we should be thanking all these pundits.
