Man, I just can't summon that enthusiasm. Being on the outside of the bubble looking in sucks. Watching our players implode over and over again sucks too. Seems like the expectation for this season has shifted to just getting in the field of 68. Nothing positive about that. Even *IF* we get in, what can we really expect? I'd be willing to bet a large sum that our season ends on the first weekend with us scoring in the 50s.
I would like to win the conference tournament. I would consider that something to be enthusiastic about. We have a pretty good shot at it too. For now, we just need things to play out to where we get a good draw. I want to see us win our final two home games.
BTW, I don't see any way we lose this game. Coming home after a tough loss versus a team that just had an emotional home win. Typically these games go in the home teams favor.

MY FEELINGS EXACTLY. THANKS FOR POSTINGi mean, we've seen that the team can play with pretty much anyone. given that and the lack of dominant teams this year, once you get in, anything can happen.
season has been a massive disappointment, but it really hasn't been that far away from being quite successful (to date). not interested in rehashing that discussion - just noting that all those games have certainly been contended.
there's no reason we couldn't right the ship in the tournament. as crushing and seemingly scripted and repetitive as some of these late game losses we've had have been, there's value in the experience earned.
whether or not we can change the outcome is up for debate, but there's no debating that our guys should be familiar with the moment.
i wouldn't call my personal position optimistic. i'm looking at things more along the lines of this team having not played at all to its potential, and there's no overriding factor preventing this team from winning.
Agreed.
if Brimah plays like he did last night and our wings shoot the ball as badly as we have lately we will not win. We need to make some perimeter shots to be a really good teamI had the uconn game as a loss 2 days ago but after the loss last night we are going to come out fired up and win this game.

Then our wings better have a good game!There were a lot of people on here a couple weeks ago saying brimah wasn't that much of a difference maker but like you said if anybody watched the game last night he was the difference in that game and he will probably be in the game tomorrow to, but I think we pull out the win.
I'll still be rooting for the Cats and watching the games.Don't take Bearcat basketball for granted. We only have 2 home games left this season. I am still pumped for it and hope we go out strong in these last two home games. Think about this in June and July when we are desperate for Bearcat basketball to come back. These kids deserve it.
I just woke up. Serious story here. I had a dream last night, UC beat UConn, like 70 something to 49. I was so relieved because I thought it would be a close game that we would probably lose heartbreaking style. It was nice to have an anomaly game. We haven't had one of those all year.
Well...now that it's real time, present day, I think to myself, one can dream right?!!
i would prefer we were hitting some shotsI just hope the crowd will be rowdy from tip to finish and that will keep our players motivated all game. If I see a lack of effort I think I might flip.
