The epitome of a Bearcat.

he has heart,,but he also has rebounding fundamentals. He lays his body
on the taller opponent, and keeps him behind him, rather than trying just
to outjump. It's old school, but very effective

this is probably an NIT team without Parker...he is just simply a MAN.

Parker's ability to check Thomas will probably be one of the keys Thursday night. If he can check Thomas and Gates stays on the floor, I love UC's chances. I think Cash and Craft is going to be an absolute battle. Both these guys know how to force turnovers.

That is exactly right.

To me the dude is the emotional glue that holds this team together. He gets hit in the face, knocked down, ankles twisted and gets getting off the deck like Rocky. He does battle inside with guys a half foot taller than he is and outrebounds them. Parker has the heart of a Bearcat.

mini hicks! where's what's his name, dude who made catswin's steelers photo (can't believe his name is escaping me), to make an austin powers themed pic.

We saw a little of what Parker could do two years ago when Bishop was sent home at the end of the season. I go back to the Oklahoma game in December when Parker brought the Cats back from the dead to set up Cash's game winner.

@Jon Rothstein: Really feel Jaquon Parker is pound for pound the toughest player in college hoops. Grabbed 11 boards last night vs. Florida State.

@Jon Rothstein: Mick Cronin needs to start being mentioned among the elite young coaches in college basketball. 52 wins in the last 2 seasons 4 Cincinnati.

Jaquon Parker would have my vote as Most Valuable Bearcat this season.

Def. my vote for MVP so far for this team...love Parker.

11 rebounds vs one of the tallest and most physical teams in the nation....just unreal
