If you want to talk about the game against Cincinnati
« on: March 15, 2017, 06:43:02 AM »
post here.

Completely different pace, defense, etc. Will be an interesting contrast in style from Wake.

The most comparable Big 12 teams is probably Baylor. Extremely slow paced team and offensively they are okay shooting and only average from behind the arc. A major difference from Baylor is they don't turn it over at all and though they are very good oboarding, they aren't nearly as dominant on the glass. Very similar defensive profile to Baylor as well, except they like to force TOs.

I'm glad this game isn't on a school night. The longer layoff will also give me more time to read up on them

Cat's need high percentage shots in the paint.  Can't let the beercats rebound.

losses:  #21 rhode island, @ #16 butler, @ #25 smu, @ ucf, #12 smu
wins: @ #19 flood aggie, @ #24 xavier

smdh  :lol:

i don't really see them as a 6 seed unless you look only at their 29-5 record.  when you look inside those 29 wins, you see a bunch of mongloid rubes who can't dribble the basketball down the court because their helmets get in the way.

k-state has played much better teams leading up to this game and have a higher upside than uc when they play well

uc's AD is a squawk who played football and baseball in lawrentucky and we all know how much ku athletes love to rape and beat their fair share of woman from time to time

My biggest concern is that the guys (especially oscar) feel they've accomplished enough and come out flat. Otherwise it should be a good game.

Would I be incorrect in saying UC retains the "veneer of toughness" that Huggie imparted to their hoops program?

Cronin did came up in coaching under Huggs, then under Pitino at Louisville, then as a head coach at Murray State. I've always been a fan of how his teams play.

But he's also a bit of a whiner: http://www.wcpo.com/sports/college-sports/university-of-cincinnati-sports/mick-cronin-addresses-whether-the-cincinnati-bearcats-got-a-raw-deal-from-selection-committee

I love Mick Cronin which I guess makes me somewhat of a hypocrite because I hate 3G because he's such a bitch ass crybaby.

A little late in the season to ponder this, but how good is our S&C person?  If good, now is when we reap the dividends.

From all the hype videos of our team running in sand, up hills, and making personal records in the weight room I'm hoping he is halfway decent?  :crossfingers:

Vs KenPom top 100, in the 10 R/N games... I'm almost surprised they even score 1.01 PPP with such bad eFG and very average FTR. They do better than us on TO% and OR% I guess though.

Evans vs Wes and Washington vs DJamer will be some fun individual match ups to watch.

I'm anxious to see how good their defense really is. Every game against SMU (by far the best team they've played) they gave up 1.10 ppp or more. They managed to score with them at home, but their road/neutral offense/shooting is pretty poor.
