Speaking of such. I am selling 2 tickets to tomorrow game. Dead center bearcat lair.

Go for $15 a piece plus service fees. I'm selling for $11

Could meet at the oscar statue
 
Yeah the stat of 2 guard production that waterhead posted yesterday is fantastic. We need that the rest of the way.

As a side note... I know Troy has been struggling but he's got to be one of the better rebounding PGs in the country and he ranks 10th in assists to turnovers.

All in all...We have guys doing nice things on the court besides scoring...And our starting 5 probably deserve to be out there.

Get free throws going and we are starting to put it all together!
 
Confidence is up for players who needed it. Other players have learned lessons. We are rounding into nice form right at mid season. Chemistry is good. Team play is good. We are now solid at 5 positions. Beat SMU and we will be in prime shape for the second half.
 
We're -6.
Jake as I mentioned earlier I think the Cats win but it will take us winning the battle on the boards. SMU hits the offensive glass hard and we must take that away from them. Second chance points have been a issue for us at times this year. I don't think it will be a up and down game and possessions will be huge. I like our depth and the way we have been shooting the ball lately but we have to rebound.

I'm gonna predict that Clark shows up big and is the Player of the Game.

Per Tom Groeschen on twitter: "#UC has sold 10,590 tickets for Thursday's AAC showdown vs. SMU, AD Mike Bohn said. Goal is sellout of 13,176"
 
Assuming the capacity at the renovated arena is under 12k, we're going to sell out so many games there. Probably all of conference play.
 
So basically 66-60 is what Vegas is calling for. KenPom says take the under, but barely (64-58 UC).

My prediction was 126 points but a 69-57 score. What do you say we just do that instead?

(Also I get the whole extrapolating the score thing but Vegas isn't predicting the score, nor do they care how it pans out. That's a common misconception. They care about 2-way action. Period. So it's not what they think. It's what they think the market thinks. And it goes from there. So Vegas isn't calling for 66-60. The bettors (public and pro) are combining to "call for" that. But with the difference in ticket count (public "pizza" bets) to overall money bet (less sharps betting more money) it's hard to pinpoint what score is actually being "called for". Bc it's assumed in order to be betting you think you're ahead of the market, thus not calling for that score when you take a side or over/under a total. Collectively it can be viewed as 66-60 I guess. But that's not really how it works. Sorry for the long-winded side note that isn't the least bit important. It just is a peeve of mine when people talk about Vegas being good just bc a game straddles their numbers.)
