reminds me of the old days at UC. Visiting teams would come into cincy and hit most of their shots. Wayns could probably wear a blindfold and still hit shots today. Anyone else thinking that Octavious Ellis better be ready to play next year instead of us relying on Mbodj to take Gates' place in the lineup?

Only if we play a more active defense. When VIllanova penetrates and kicks out, the three is always wide open.

Usually you don't have to worry about kick outs to open shooters that make 27% and 28% of their 3-point attempts. You don't want their guards driving to the basket. Let's see if they can shoot out of their ass for another 20 minutes.

UC will either throttle them or get run off the court in the 2nd half.

I was really fearful of giving Cheek's three's off help and thats essentially what happened...have to come out and run them off the line to start...

Yancy stepping up in the second half

Worst shooting team in the Big East

Defense looking better but not the offense.

I think Dixon feels he's required to take a certain number of horrific shots per game.

Villanova is back to shooting what they should be for the season...have to take advantage.

He needs to shelve his running floater.

Parker's shot selection hasn't been the best either.

Parker was set. It's either a no call or a charge

Apparently JaQuon Parker's not allowed to play defense anymore.

Another horse $hit call

It would have been a no call had Parker not flopped, but he sold it in the wrong direction.

Boys sure are lackadaisical

Flashback to St. Johns for the first 35 minutes

I always thought the home team was supposed to get the calls

4 straight close calls against the Cats

They should probably ask all of their remaining home opponents if they can play on the road instead.

no focus on defense, whenever UC scores Villanova has an answer...

Tim Higgins HAS to make a call on every possession. Dude is horrid.

Nova hustling...UC not so much
