Actually, I think that was a major factor.

That loss started the decline. Mental breakdown.

Well it's official. UC Will play the winner of Tulsa/Tulane Friday night at 7.

Looking at brackets, hope we get Tulsa then Houston.

It will either be Houston/UConn/USF in the semi final.

Looking at the bracket there should be no excuse to not make the finals.

I only fear UCF and SMU

Lose to anyone else would be criminal

I think we will play Tulsa first and predict Connecticut will win two games and face us in the semi-finals. In the other bracket I think Memphis will upset UCF and play SMU.

Houston now #50 in RPI. At this moment Cincy is 5-3 vs Top 50

Brackets have really set up perfectly for UC.

Agree Billy. Cats play the winner of Tulsa/Tulane and then a possible matchup with Houston/UConn/USF winner before the championship game on Sunday.

Could not have come out better. SMU or UCF only in finals.

We are up to #15 in the AP

Three of our four losses are to teams currently ranked in the top 25 and have win total for 20, 23 and 27 so far.

Not bad.

Actually only 2...we beat Iowa State this year. Still, neither Rhode Island nor UCF are bad losses. And look at how many losses have piled up on the bottom group of teams. Not really a lot of separation between them.

My bad.

You are right.

Beat SMU and most likely finish in the Top 10
