"one major difference is that they don't turn it over at all"

Hey Greg, you spelled Kamau wrong.
I was talking about stealing the ball not actually creating turnovers like Kamau

My apologies. In that case you are correct. I am just still so angry about Kamau's turnovers in the first half of the Wake Forest game it is messing with my reading comprehension.

Yeah I just picture oscar in practice with a spray bottle and he sprays kamau every time he turns the ball over

Kam was just super excited/nervous. I'll actually give oscar credit by sticking with him so he could settle in and become a difference maker in the second half. We could not have afforded those mistakes vs Cincy.

Prediction:
Kansas State might have come out on top against Wake Forest, but the roles will be reversed when they meet up with Cincinnati on Friday. The Bearcats superior offense will allow them to take advantage of the Wildcats taxing 24-hour travel schedule to move on.

I'd like to see what rational this guys uses to say "The Bearcats' superior offense".

Former Mizzou forward Kim English was on Border Patrol this morning. He coaches at Tulsa. He said Cincy uses a matchup zone that is pretty effective. Tulsa played them 3x

SMU was the best defensive team Cincy played. I think I've read that SMU really does a good job on help D and not allowing many easy 2pt shots.  In the 3 games they played, 50.0% of Cincy's shot were 3s. 1 game they shot 32 3pt and 17 2pt.  The Bearcats made 33% of the 82 3pt they attempted, but hit under 40% of the 2PTA

Cincy gets very little production, outside of Cumberland, from their bench.  These are the other 4 guys they can play...

Scott 6'8, Last 11games played 6 min/g. Only 14 pts, 38%eFG (5-13 shooting)
Brooks 6'11, Last 13 games played 5.5 min/g. 13 pts, 30%eFG (3-10)
Jenifer 5'10, Last 12 games played 10 min/g. 12 pts, 34%eFG (5.5-16)
Moore 6'8, Last 11 games played 6 min/g. 18 pts, 27%eFG (6.5-24)

Over at bearcattalk.com they are overwhelmingly confident that they will destroy us easily. Like embarrass us. I keep reading that they think they are just a better version of us.

As was said before K-State is a poor mans version of UC. There is no reason we should lose this game, we are better on defense and have better offensive weapons. That being said their similar style will keep the game relatively close if they can score consistently. We hit our shoots we win easily, we have a bit of an off night I still thing we pull it out. I see the are winning anywhere from 5-15, but I'm gonna go with 71-59

If we can't beat a team that was in the bottom half of the Big 12, I guess we should be glad we didn't get in?

That Ervin guy is just a random bench JUCO guy.  With a name like that he has to suck right?

My brothers job transferred him to Olympia, Washington. So hes making the drive now and made the stop at K-State. Of course wearing his Bearcats Gear

I think they feel pretty confident with that 29-5 record.  I feel somewhat confident that they have only made 42% from 2pt & 30% from 3pt in their 10 games away from home (vs top 100). Our D has its ups and downs, but the 1.03 PPP we gave up in our last 8 R/N Big12 games is at least a tad better than average.

They lost to SMU by 9 & 15. And only put up 0.83 PPP in a 53-49 loss to UCF. That's their 3 toughest R/N games the past 6 weeks.

The Bearcats "superior" offense...clearly an indication this guy has no idea what's going on.

However blustery the Bearcat message boards are about their prospects, I do generally agree that they are a better version of us. But not that much better and without a clear go to guy in crunch time -- however, I see Evans becoming this guy more and more, and Caupain is never scared in late game situations. We've got to be hitting jumpers -- I don't see Dean handling this matchup well, so Kamau and Barry stroking it is super important. We've played a more rugged schedule, I hope that experience puts us over the top.

I think KSU will probably lose because we aren't very good, regardless of what kind of team Cincy is. But I will be cheering for our guys and if we hit our shots I think we win (I love it when people say this phrase as if it means something).

Well, hitting shots is kind of important in basketball. :D
