The unofficial online home for fans of the University of Cincinnati Bearcats. Part of Collegiate Sports Nation (CSN).

The entire world will be watching when Cincinnati collides with Wichita State in the arena. Millions of people will be holding their breath wondering what's going to happen, and there's going to be a nervous energy that can be felt everywhere.

But Wichita State doesn't know what's about to hit them. Cincinnati is going to destroy Wichita State. This will be a basketball annihilation that they can't possibly be prepared for. They won't know what hit them.

And they're going to learn some tough lessons.

About winning.

About basketball.

About what happens when you try to do Cincinnati wrong.

Millions of people are ready. And when it's over, millions of people will know what I say all the time. It's my life's motto, something I live, eat, sleep, and breathe.

The road to the championship runs through Cincinnati. Cincinnati.

I notice when we play a legit conference team in a legit situation (on CBS which will have a huge rating BTW), then you have to kick it up a notch. You said 'millions' watching multiple times to prove your veiled point.

Guarantee this will have better ratings than any single game the Big East/XU had on FX1 this year.

Highest rated sporting event EVER!

Based on the writing in the Wichita Eagle this is a huge event for Wichita and it is sold out standing room only. It will be rocking at the Koch.

It is very important for UC to handle the atmosphere and come out and play loose and make shots early. I am hoping Mick doesn't try to micro manage this one as the guys seem to play better when they are allowed to play loose.

No need to apologize. We do it so frequently. You can rest assured tomorrow will be no different.

I don't know why, but I have a feeling there will be a double digit UC win tomorrow.

I have to admit i'm really chomping at the bit to see how we play tomorrow. Given a couple weeks ago was the first time our guys had played against WS i'm really curious to see how they react the second time. Now that they have some experience against them i hope they settle down a little bit. I really thought they looked tight a couple weeks ago. The worst thing that can happen is they lose a game to a top 10 team on the road so just relax and let it fly. Schedulers had this one right.

This has to be the biggest event in Wichita next to the PBRA events.

Guessing it's actually bigger than PBR.
There really isn't much else to do in Wichita.
(I lived there. I don't any more.)

Told my spouse the same thing...If you'd have asked me two weeks ago I would've said expect an L but the offense has been on high gear for the past two weeks so here's to hoping it continues.

We'll see... The competition hasn't exactly been up to WSU's level. I'd love a win but I'm not feeling great about the game. I wasn't feeling great last time either...

Yep. I am so into prove it mode right now.

agree with one difference, I actually thought we'd win the first game, being at home and all.

Was I right or was I right?

As i had speculated(and hoped), we looked like a lot more relaxed bball team today and got the win. Game is a lot easier when you turn it over only 5 times vs the 13 here. Excellent, big win. Even the x gang can't complain as we're i believe their only top 25 rpi win right now. On the road against number 10 or 11 is the best of either. Congrats cats!
