UCONN vs. Cincy
Very agressive, hard-nosed defensive game. Either of these teams will dog-whip us. Sorry to be so negative about our team, but after seeing how disorganized and lost we seemed in the SMU fiasco, that's how I feel. We've got no one who can compete with either of these team's big men.

I am not saying Burrell is Will Barton but we badly missed him against SMU because of Pastner's idiotic suspension... That's a player who brings 12 pts a game... He is LEGIT.

I agree with that. I understand the need for discipline, and I realize there may be more to it than what's on the surface, but all other things being equal, it was the wrong time for a relatively steep punishment over a minor infraction.
Watching UConn/Cincy, too, and I thought the same thing about matching up with them. But, you never know until the teams get on the court.

Until we fix our on-ball screen defense, it doesnt matter who is on the court.

Good point. Tigers opponents get a boat-load of layups, and I'll be darned if they don't make most of 'em.

And folks need to get down court on defense quicker.

The game demonstrates the degree of our decline. We are terrible and its all Pastner's fault.

As I watched I keep thinking we've got Cincy Thursday night. We've definitely got a challenge in front of us.

We will be crushed by Cincy. Fans should stay in the comfort of their homes and be spared the sight of the carnage.

Exactly, teams only have to set one screen and everything breaks down
