At this point it feels like I'm punching a handicapped kid in the back of the head. I'm done here. Reread my post when you sober up. Your "point" was addressed thoroughly.

And one more thing: our schedule prepared us perfectly. We couldn't have played a better game than we did against a GROSSLY under-seeded Kentucky squad. Hats off to them and their never-ending roster of blue chippers for coming up two points better than us...

A 1-seed out of the Missouri Valley... who could have ever thunk it.

It's always a great day to be a Shocker!

Being perfectly prepared for the tournament usually means you get past the second round...regardless of who you face.

Cincinnati hasn't lost since Dec. 9. Right now, Mick Cronin's team is holding American opponents to a 24.8 percent mark from the 3-point line. The Bearcats are bulldozers.

Their upcoming matchup against Wichita State, one of two this season, was initially billed as the American's heavyweight title fight. But the Bearcats own a three-game lead over Wichita State and Houston in the standings.

Even if the league fails to offer Cincy the tests that top teams in the Power 5 leagues will face in the next month, the Bearcats could start the NCAA tournament as the hottest team in America and the field's greatest defensive threat outside Charlottesville.

I'm pretty sure most of the teams in the tournament would have lost to Kentucky that day. So really, that has nothing to do with it.

This discussion is just making me upset. We don’t go against a 7 deep NBA squad in the second round that decided to play their first perfect game of the season and we probably go on to win the national championship. I have still not watched that game since I witnessed it in person.

Skip to 2:22:40. This is literally the song I was listening to when I read your post. Strong emotions roiling deep within the guttiwuts. What once was a good memory now carries a message of melancholy. Gravity all nonsense now. Sharpened me up for a bit of the old Bearcat in-out.

UC is the class of the league right now but that snub at the end wasn't needed or really even factually correct. Teams in the American are 17-21 against the Power 5. That's not bad at all.

It's really not bad when you consider that of those 38 games, only 6 were played in our home arenas. We went 4-2 in those games with 3 of those wins coming over teams with at-large chances to get a bid.

No other UC fan has found these articles. And if they have...they sure haven’t shared them. On either site. But they do seem to take offense to them.

Again...

smh

I remember when I used to obsess over every WSU mention in every article on every website. That was from 2004-2006. Now we get some sort of mention every single day. Who cares anymore?

Cincy gets a blurb about the same size that Rhode Island got and we need to alert everyone? Wow.

Ah yes, 2004-06...The good ol' days. What a storied program you have.

Guys, aren't all these types of threads just started to mock CB? Shouldn't we know to ignore them by now? Or is this board just never going to get back to being fraternal? Is everyone going to be insecure forever?

We need each other. It's okay to prop each other up every once in a while. It makes the burns and the trolling even better if it's not constant and relentless.

Wtf? This board was "fraternal" at one time? I've never heard of that on a sports forum in my entire life. It's kill or be killed - eat or be eaten... You're not a Snowflake are you? Can I say Snowflake in here?

A payday thread ends up in purgatory.

That’s gotta be an ego killer.

Nobody was beating Shabazz and his Hungry Huskies.

Payday can't have an ego at this point. He's a broken man.
