Like someone else said, balanced like us. Hamilton is their best all around guy. My worry is cincy giving up open looks like they tend to do. Purvis and Gibbs could make them pay for that.

Catching them without their rim protector is a break we need to take advantage of. Brimah blocks and alters shots relentlessly. He makes up for a lot of defensive mistakes.

Seeing many of their games, they seem to have the opposite issue that Cincy has in that a lot teams just seem cold when they play them. While their 3% defense looks good on paper, they give up a lot of good looks.

With Brimah out, I would like to think we attack the basket. I want to see Caupain, Ellis, Clark, KJ, Thomas continue to drive to the basket. We are so much better when we attack and with Brimah out, there is no reason not to.
I would love to beat UConn for many reasons. This is vital for an at large bid. I want revenge for last year during the AAC conference tourney. I hope the players haven't forget that game.

Thanks Jacob! I didn't catch a big vote of confidence in our depth or conditioning in that video. Depth I can understand but if they aren't in condition...that's on the coach. He didn't say they weren't but...

I would be surprised if the winning team has over 65 points in this one. I'll go...

UConn 60

I could live with that. LoL! Cats got their work cut out for them. UCONN has talent and like us they get scoring from a number of people. I guess my big question can Shaq continue to perform like his last two games and can TC give the team the lift it needs. Meaning scoring or distribution.
The cats will also need to get a hand up on their shooters and stop dribble penetration.
Fun time of the year. Conference races are heating up and the NCAA looks wide open this year. Cats need this one.

History tells me it's going to be a dogfight. We haven't won there since the SK winning three in 2011-12 season. I believe all the meetings at there place have been decided by 6 points or fewer since then.
Correct. And 2011-12 was at Gample (campus location). We're 6-12 against Uconn with 2 wins on the road
