Amen. I'm with you as I think UC has a lot riding on this game too and this edition of the Bearcats has played without fear in tougher venues this season. It has all the makings of a classic old Big East grinder. For that, I'm thankful for Zantac. And Jarron Cumberland who may have the ball in his hands and the fate of the team on his shoulders as the clock ticks down to zero. Go 'Cats--show the Knights what a great basketball program looks like.

An opportunity to prove a lot of us skeptics out here wrong...

I looked and they listed 6200 as attendance against Houston this year. Capacity is around 10000; their record is 10,011 against Illinois when CFE Arena was new. Do you think we come close to matching that tonight?

I hope the refs call the Cumberland muggings.

ESPN says we have a 38.3% chance of winning this game.

Doesn't ESPN realize we have a 90% chance of winning every game by 5 points or less?

We done

Nope. Which is just fine by me for our game.

Interesting. A couple of weeks ago it gave UCF something like a 53% chance, if I recall.

They've been playing great ball lately and their efficiency metrics have been climbing as a result. They are up to 35 in kenpom adjusted efficiency, I think they were in the 50s a month ago.

UC is 10-1 against the Knights. The lone loss:

2/26/2017 #15 Cincinnati @ Central Florida 49-53

I do not recall it, but that is the score of a FUGLY game.

I remember BJ Taylor went off on us but I feel like Tacko bothered Kyle and Gary enough that we couldn't score but from outside. Again, I feel like we've seen enough of Tacko that we know better how to defend/guard/score around him and Brooksy is playing with a lot of confidence right now.

Lone Loss to UCF Box Score

I agree with your score BC1 but I have the teams reversed. BTW, do you mind if I add some Ovaltine to my sig for tonight's game? I'm feeling lucky...

i will don my bearcatmark hat to interject. if memory serves, jake hit a three to close the gap within two with twelve seconds left. we steal the inbound and tre scott misses a wide open game tying alley oop. we lose by four

I'm going to go with 24-11 Bearcats in this one.
