It's not.

Just in general, can we quit gabbing about other members so much? Lol. It's Xavier week. We have plenty to talk about!

Couldn't agree more Jake. This is as excited for a bearcat game as I have been in awhile. This program has a chance to take a step forward this year and this is step 1 in the process for me.

If Clark and Washington show up I really don't think x can stop them. I'm just worried that mick will play a zone and the x guards will be hot.

Man to man is the way to go... They have no bigs to compete with ours and maccura is slow.

Im going with Xavier is #25 and UC 19 and at best 18.

The Bubble for the 24 and 25th ranked teams is super soft. Wouldn't be surprised if they still are ranked (I did my poll on reddit and i had them at 25 because its a season with 23 good teams and the rest are a stretch or keep losing.

So I just went back and watched the disaster of a game last years shootout was.

We had ZERO ball movement. Like we pounded at the top of the key, Cobb on one wing, Shaq on the other and we got nothing going.



43 of Xavier's total points against us were scored by guys no longer on the team. Xavier's returning players had just 22 against us.

I think your right #19 probably and maybe #18 if WV slips all the way down. They could jump Purdue over us I could see that happening in one of the polls.

Is the game a white out black out or nothing?

I can't see them any higher than #19 but I hope you're right. As for XU, they were 19/21 so I think they'll still be in at least one of those polls.

#22 in AP. Might be out of that one. We will certainly knock them out of both with win.

Thats a high scoring Shoot out. Even last year when X had a great offense, we held them to 60 something points.


We'd have to hit 14 3's to score 80 points IMO.

Im gonna go with a score like 67-61 UC

 

[Emperor Snapper]

X shot 49 free throws today. They get to the line at an amazing rate. Hopefully playing at 5/3rd will blunt this some, because frankly it is the only way I see them winning.

 

[AZ BEARCAT]

4* Malik Vann tweeted he will be there with Hawkins. I think the football recruiting guys are using this game as a big night to show what UC, as a whole, has to offer outside of football. Decent amount of other recruits will be there.

The atmosphere should be great. I am pumped.

This is good !!

This was fantastic. Glad Cash was the one representing UC. Love it.

Who does everyone think Troy, Kevin and Jacob will be guarding?

I though for sure that UC would have the size advantage but when I checked Xavier's roster on ESPN they have Bluiett listed at 6'6, Sumner at 6'6 and the guy who enjoys showing the public his genitals at 6'5

Granted I haven't watched eggzavier in person but in no way does Bluiett and Sumner look 6'6 to me but I could be wrong.

Troy-Macura
KJ-Sumner
Jacob-Bluiett

Hasnt Clark been on Bluiett the last 2 years? Bluiett only has a total of 5 points the last 2 years. Id put KJ on Sumner. Troy on Bernard. Clark on Bluiett and Evans on Macura

I would probably put KJ on Sumner since he is best on ball and I would rather Troy and Evans not get into foul trouble. We have Cumberland if KJ gets in foul trouble. Clark and Scott could be called on as well to guard on of them.

 

[UCBearcats]

Coach sounded confident to me. Very matter of factly saying we need to win. I feel like in years past he was more defensive and insecure and would try to downplay the game.

Let's hope the gameplan is one that invites a little quicker pace and some scoring. If we can get to 70 against Xavier's soft defense I'm not sure how we lose this one.

Eggs 1-3-1 does scare me a little bit, I'm guessing we'll be launching a lot of corner 3's, let's hope they're going down.

 

[GarradJ21]

I am confident we will win but am wondering how this works when they play 4 guards. Will Cumberland or Trey be playing a lot more than Kyle?

How am I supposed to just sit at work these next 4 days. I'm getting way too pumped for this game.
