12.5 point favorites and I like that number for the cats. Wonder if we go with a smaller lineup as well to feature more of our shooters.

drake, being guard heavy, with their assumed speed, could provide a boon verse brannen's presumed full court press

look for cumberland to iso mucho and high percentage shots taken across the board

Need this one. Colgate and Vermont a good teams. Those games will probably be nail biters.

Drake is good too. UC has a nice slate of "buy" games this year that should provide real tests.

Yes, some of these OOC games aren’t going to be gimme’s that some may be expecting.

Seems like a game Tre Scott should have a good bounce back game. Hopefully it helps is confidence moving forward.

Actually though I think it's very timely scheduling for getting these guys laser focused on implementing a new offense and becoming a winning unit. As we saw playing Thomas More (or bottom feeder D1 teams in years past) does little to prepare for what's coming.

I expect an entertaining victory tonight.

Here's a bit of trivia that nobody cares about but I'm going to tell you all anyway...

I've been to one Drake game in my life. 1979. Drake had Lewis Lloyd, who was the "magic man" before the magic man. He was pretty good.

And oh yeah, they were playing Indiana St. who had Larry Bird.

Indiana St. won.

Trivia: Which school took Lew Alcindor (LKA Kareem Abdul-Jabbar)'s UCLA team to the brink in the 1969 final four, losing by three?

wow, couldn't believe that they defeated Drake 85-82. Good trivia. I'm usually great with sports trivia but I never even thought of Drake being in a final four. Drake used to be with UC in the MVC. Great question.

I remember losing to Drake in Armory-Fieldhouse during Tay Baker's reign.

I heard Bearcat Billy bought a Vogt UC jersey from Odd Lots to wear tonight.

I see no mention of television. Will this be a WLW only game?

Fox Sports Ohio or FS1. Always mix those up.

I'd bet the house the Sorolla does not get a double double. He is absolutely horrible at rebounding for a big man. Vogt maybe, but Sorolla no.

Fox Sports Go and ESPN3 as well as Fox Sports Oh.

Probably not going to be easy but let’s get a win.

Not sure what to make of that start. Some good, Jarron still looks off, not sold on the man d. Williams looks confident.

UC isn’t very good right now
