We probably lose by about 10, and people will point to one guy who gets "hot" against us, but the reality is most good teams beat us because they can shoot. When they get hot we can't keep up because we have never been a good shooting team since I started watching Basketball.

I have only seen us win 3 or 4 times agains Xavier, so I have always considered us the little brother. In my opinion they have a much better program than we do... Though I am sure I will get flamed or called a Xavier fan for my thoughts on the Shootout.

Game is not at Cintas. I believe Mick is 4-2 in shootouts not played at X, 0-6 on the road. I like UC chances this year but the crowd and players need to bring it all game. Biggest differences to me is that UC has been good at home, while Xavier has been great on in thier own building. Cats need to great on Saturday.

This is spot on. Mick has been fine in shootouts not played at cintas. Even stole one the first year when uc was completely overmatched. Sadly we've mostly been a disaster at cintas.

He's actually 4-3 away from Cintas. Losses in 08-09, 13-14 and 14-15. They better protect their new house on Saturday or it's 4-4.

Only if you count the Larry Davis loss.

That's a gray area. The teams' final record and NCAA tournament appearance that year are credited to Mick. Mick's team, Mick's players. I count it.
