Three games on ESPN2 for us!

Is it certain SMU will be playing this week given their Covid 19 cancellation issues?

All reports are that they are a go.

Of course they will be, they were just afraid to play in Cincy.

We’ll beat SMU...should have beaten Wichita when we played them this season...they are not all that.

Here’s hoping Memphis and Houston play a 4 OT thriller in the semifinal game on the other side of the bracket Saturday night.

Thanks Doss for the encouraging schedule. All the Bearcats have to do is win on Friday and Saturday, and they are automatic champions because on Sunday, Game 8 winner plays the Game 8 winner!
I'm still worried about the Bearcats playing themselves in the Conference Championship game cause I don't know if UC has enough players for two teams! The game might be a forfeit.

Does anybody know if Viktor Lakhin, David DeJulius or Zach Harvey are still on campus and/or available to opt into the conference tournament. With how crazy this season has been (Dou opting out and then back in), I wonder if the staff would allow someone to opt back in after they had time to clear their mind. Would be pretty funny all things considered if we just passed on the regular season with all the Covid issues and the plan was always the conference tournament. Highly unlikely I know, but it would be awesome if we were able to pull off a March Madness shocker.

Can I cancel my ESPN+ account?

Anytime you wish to. I plan to in a week or so.

Fun to think about at least. I'll be surprised, but not shocked, if David DeJulius plays. I guess I'd be shocked if Victor or Zach suited up and played three days from now.

It was only one game but I was impressed with Adams-Woods at the point Sunday. Let's hope Saunders is able to be back in the rotation at least. Adams-Woods had to play too many minutes and a game a day in the tourney will be brutal with UC's short bench, should they advance from Friday's game.
