I really hope the team comes out fired up and beats the Bulls brains in by 40+. This feels like a classic letdown game, but the Bulls are so bad that even at our worse and their best we probably still win by 10+.

Bloodbath.

I had to do a double take when I read your post. I thought you were Duane Norman for a sec.

UCONN won at USF by 20 plus the other night. UC should win by 40 at home. UC is favored by 26.

Lol I am on the other end of the spectrum from Duane as far as optimism goes.

I hope so, something about this game screams a 60-50 snoozer.

UC 75
USF 50
Kyle will score 18 :)

If McMurray was still there, I'd say maybe. But, as it is, I don't hesitate to say it's going to be a beatdown. Might be a slow start, but I don't see the margin being any less than 25.

Vegas has UC -25. Yikes.

I think we crack top 10 this week. We got everybody attention Thursday. No longer can voters say we can't score. We have size, speed and depth for any team in country.

I'm hopeful for top 15 this week. UC 17 in Sagarin, 16 in kenpom which seems pretty reasonable based on what I've seen. Given their gaudy record getting in the top 15 would be great and entirely justified despite the metrics not quite having UC that good.

Ain't that the truth

...and administered immediately prior to eating a caramel apple.

Is it common for UC to have a little hangover post Xavier games? If we cover the spread I will be happy.

Yeah, but in years past (Big East) USF has had better teams than this year's toilet floater. This is how far they've fallen down the poop shoot:

6-13 (0-8)
#299 RPI
#283 Kenpom
Last 10: 1-9
Lost 8 in a row
Teams they've beaten in 6 wins: Florida A&M, Rider, Kennesaw St, @Troy, Bethune-Cookman & Delaware

I hope we initiate the "woodshed treatment" as quickly as possible and insert the reserves. Should be Quad time!

Someone posted in the Tulane game thread that Q was better than there whole team. This applies to USF as well. Q goes for 20 today.

That's a very optimistic opinion. I think we deserve to be top 10 by now but I think we will be ranked 16 or 15 (if VA loses today) tomorrow. When we win @smu that should be the game to propel us into top 10 barring any losses between now and then.

We want the Big Q to get 30 and 10.
