Much more important than being a catalyst for trolling and loling would be the indication that we are mentally healthier and getting closer to last year's team's capability.

I have no idea how good Cincy really is. My gut feeling is that they are nowhere near as good as their record/ranking would indicate. When they were tested earlier in the season they folded like a lawn chair. They've been pushed to their limits against some fairly weak AAC teams albeit they did prevail in the end and sometimes decidedly so.

I know one thing's for certain; if we sweep them I won't be surprised. I probably won't be surprised if we get swept either. We've displayed too much Jekyll and Hyde syndrome and this league can go from somewhat competent to totally terrible in the blink of an eye. It's hard to gauge whether or not you are playing well or just t-bagged a horrible team.

I have no idea how bad UConn is. Did we smash a decent team last night or a horrible one?

We beat UConn by 10 on the road yet UC squeaks by with an 8 pt. advantage.
We beat Houston by 75 at home yet UC only beats them by 10 (in a game where they had to dig out of an 18 pt. deficit).
We beat ECU by 95 on the road yet UC beats them by 26 at home (in a game that was closer than the score would indicate).
We beat Memphis by 20 on the road yet UC beats them by only 14 (in a game that really wasn't decided until the 4th quarter).
We beat USF by 300 at home and UC beats them by 23 on the road (in a game that was neck-and-neck for the first 30 mins.).

It's hard to get a good feel, that's why the Cincy - Wichita matchup can't get here soon enough.

There is one inarguable point and that is Wichita and Cincinnati are the two best teams in the league. Let's settle this discussion already.

We beat temple in the road. You lost.

We swept smu In dominant fashion. You lost to them at home.
