Rematch of last year’s title game- who you got? Revenge game for Cincinnati as they lost by double digits to Houston at home last week to close out the regular season. Could also say revenge game for Houston after how the title game ended last year.

I’ll take the Cougars by 8

Was not impressed by either teams performance yesterday, not inspiring. So I think both teams will come out swinging and look very good today because I think both coaches laid into their guys and will have their guys ready. But in the end I think Cincy finally takes it, third times a charm, and the other cliche, hard to beat a team three times.
Maybe 68-62 cincy .

Is this really Houston's half court offense? Just fire up a prayer and hope you get the O board?

Cinci proving you need a go-to guy and size to win at this level. Cumberland is a beast. Cinci's size and length is bothering Houston.

PS: Our 40 point loss to Houston was inexcusable.

So this Houston guard is just gonna keep firing up contested 3's with 25 on the shot clock until he hits one?

No matter who wins, neither team is going deep into the tournament. I fell asleep in the second half.

Brutal. Sampson made Mick look like a very good tournament coach today!

I was at all the games over the weekend. You watch Cumberland up close and there's a lot more to his game than meets the eye. It looks like it's all physical with him, but he's very involved in watching what defenders do with guarding him. He's not the fastest or the kid who can jump the highest, but he's a unique combo of agility, balance and strength, not to mention he can knock down some crazy looks. He has a highly refined street ball game with a chess player like approach to getting defenders going in the wrong direction. He's definitely an all american in my book, no way not one of the top 12 or 15 guys this year. It was funny late in the final game some guys were joking about what a team would look like with Cumberland and Zion Williamson in the same lineup. That would be the pick and roll from hell with the 2 of them headed downhill. LOL

The crazy thing was he went 1 for 7 from 3 and still drops 33 points at probably 6'4. That's against a very good defensive team. He earned his mvp yesterday.
