Love the 5 pm start. Works for me Here's where our depth begins showing itself.

I really hope this is a 15+ point beatdown. Sick of losing to these guys in the conference tournament.

UC -9.

From Espin:
Last 5 games (not counting yesterday)
Cincinnati
DATE OPP RESULT
3/5/17 @ CONN W67-47
3/2/17 vs HOU W65-47
2/26/17 @ UCF L53-49
2/23/17 vs MEM W87-74
2/18/17 vs TLSA W80-60

Uconn lost 4 of last 5 but were competitive in those losses except the 20 pt beat down we laid on them.

Would like to think that loss to UCF still is freash- been business ever since.

I think UC will have to weather an early run by UCONN. Their guys have to be running on fumes at this point but their crowd will energize them early. Just like last night, UC must come and set the tone by making shots early to keep UCONN from believing they can win. I'll be shocked if the officiating isn't heavily tilted in their favor. Heck, it was last night in Tulsa's favor but they didn't have the horses (or the crowd) to take full advantage of it.

I'll be shocked and deeply disappointed if UC doesn't take care of business. Clearly, after two games we know which squad has the talent. Now is the time; this is the place to dominate the Huskies on their court and move toward winning our first conference tournament championship under Mick.

Got to try and get...and keep...the crowd out of this.

It should be the best attended game of the tournament. (Though that's not saying much...)

The House will be packed.

I know we have beat this subject to death in the past, but still... I tuned in (via the internet) to WLW to listen to the game. They just said that they won't start talking UC BB until "sometime after the bottom of the hour."

With WVU, they start the BB pregame a whole hour before the projected tip. Sigh...

UC vs UConn on ESPiN2 prime time. I want another beat down!

Saw Mick say a few minutes ago that there will be more Cincy fans at the game than at home.

He said versus a typical home game for UConn

Here's the deal cut right to the bone: UConn is in a MUST win situation for the auto bid and UC is already in and DOESN'T HAVE to win this game. UConn friendly crowd aside, it comes down to focus, execution and scoring one more point than the other guy. Win and advance. I like our chances to take care of business.

While I think we are the better team... I am always a bit nervous having to beat a team 3 times in a row. I am anticipating a close game.

Lets go Cats!!

ESPN sure wants uconn, watching ucf vs smu, all they have been saying is will uconn have another "magical run". lets win by 15, and win tomorrow and show this mickey mouse conference who runs it!!!!! go cats!!!!

They are simply trying to gin up interest in the next game (ours) to get some viewers. How we have lost to them so often in the tournaments is sad.

We NEED to win something - not just finish close.

Pulling into Three Floyds Brewery to catch game. Upside is if it goes poorly I'm unlikely to remember much.

Yes. And per your earlier comment, it gets old with local media, doesn't it? Driving home around noon I had Broo on WLW and all he talked about were the hapless Bengals. We're entering three of the most exciting weeks of March Madness in one of the best college basketball cities in the country, according to a published report earlier this week. How about some hoops conversation on UC's flagship station.

Go 'Cats!
