I woke up feeling slightly more optimistic about this game. We have the edge in the front court and the is where we have to control this game. X didn't have an answer for Cumberland in the second have last year, but in Norden for him to get going on transition they will need to kiss some shots. At some point they are going to hit few threes in a row and the X dorks will be going nuts. We need to fight through these situations and get the ball in the paint.

My prediction: UC 74 XU 73

I think something happens unheard of and the ball rolls UC way this time...

F*ck Zabor, Go Bearcats!

There's a game today?

Ima heading to a Bloody Mary tailgate for the game.

Prolly going to stay away from this thread unless the game goes off the rails...then it’s worrh the entertainment value.

I do expect our D to struggle a bit.

I agree... I can see Xavier getting a double digit lead.in the first half after a flurry of threes, but that will be the pivot point of the gsme. Either they keep their heads or fold.

I’m worried more about the guys in pinstripes than in blue. If xu gets to the line 20-25 times we are in trouble.

Cumberland was our break out player last year. Hoping/thinking it is Broome this year

Forgot the crowd and the officials. Just be the better team. The real concerns are their backcourt versus UC's backcourt. To be honest that is going to the issue going forward for this UC team. If UC can get no less that solid play from Jenifer, Broome, Evans, and Cumberland they will beat high level teams.

turnovers will win/lose game. I fear our guards are not ready for this kind of game. I think early schedule hurts us today. Hope I am wrong!

Go UC! Make the Cintas the home of faceless saps.

Baaaaaaad feeling. See you guys later.

When did Len Elmore join Fox. I thought he was our designated announcer for all ESPN games

I know it’s early, but this all looks so familiar.

They are killing UC inside.

Same old story

OUTCOACHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zero intensity from uc so far. Cumberland looks half asleep again.

Need to wake up now or this one's already done.

Outrebounded. Shots clanging. No interior D.
