Looking at conference games only provides for a small statistical sample, but Cincinnati won at UCF and won 3 out of the last four games. Hopefully, a combination of DJ, Dandridge and Achiuwa can wear down Chris Vogt. In 3 of the last 4 games, Vogt ended each game with 4 fouls, so lets box him out and get him into foul trouble. We better come prepared to play or Cincinnati will hand it to us.

Yeah, way too small a sample.

Weird stuff though.

Cincy goes to Tulane and loses by 5.
Cincy goes to UCF and wins by 14.
UCF goes to Tulane and wins by 19.
Cincy beats Tulsa by 31.
Tulsa beats Temple by 26.
Temple beats Wichita State by 12.
Tulsa beats Houston by 2.
Houston beats Temple by 4.

The only thing predictable is the unpredictable this year.

It is truly a weird batch of data.

GO TIGERS GO!

Cincinnati vs Memphis Basketball Preview

Somewhat funny

Quote:Gary Parrish of CBS, who also follows Memphis closely, identifies that Achiuwa, DJ Jeffries, Lester Quinones, Tyler Harris and Alex Lomax are the five best Memphis has to offer. What’s interesting about that is that Sam Vecenie of the Athletic notes that those 5 have played just 17 offensive possessions together. This is partly due to the presence of Wiseman in the beginning of the season but also seems to be related to coaching stubbornness.

It is silly...They are the best offensively according to Gary.

But there are two sides to the floor.

Gary Parrish is an idiot. Who cares what he thinks.

But there are two sides to the floor.

They are the 1,2,3,4 and 5 in scoring and shots made.
They are the 1,3,4, 5 and 7 in 3 point shots made.
They are 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 in free throws made.
They are the 1,2,3, 5 and 10 in rebounds.
The are the 1. 3 ,4, 6 and 7 in assists.
They are 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 in minutes.

So you could make a case for them being our best players right now, certainly on the offensive end.

Maybe, but even a broke clock is right twice a day...

We need this one for our standing, but also to break the mental lock Cincy has seemed to have on us in recent years. GTG

Hold on to the ball! Getting it out of the way

Quick reminder: the refs will make some bad calls against us and for us. Also, the refs cannot be the reason we win or lose the game.

I don't think it arguable that they are our best offensive players.

Huge?

I don't think seeding is going to be too terribly different between the 1 and 2 seeds in the conference tourney.

I don't know who is hosting this year...I guess that is who the higher seeds would like to avoid.
