American Games (2/6)

[BFieldHusky]

Temple (-4) at UCF (Noon, ESPNU)

Could see UCF giving them a game at home with their size inside. Temple has been very up and down.

Cincy (-3) at Memphis (Noon, ESPN2)

Does Memphis (with Burrell back) show any fight against Cincy?

 

[Connecticut]

Memphis up 13-5 vs Cincy

Does Memphis (with Burrell back) show any fight against Cincy?

So far, it looks like it. Dedric Lawson is really really good.

 

[champs99and04]

Memphis is hitting Cincinnati in the mouth out of the gate. 21-9.

I'm speaking the obvious, but this is one of those games Cincinnati doesn't want to lose.

 

[polycom]

I don't understand how we lost to Cincy I get it we don't match up great and we played terrible but they can't score the basketball...

 

[tcf15]

Not watching the Temple game, but keeping track of the score. 24-21 UCF with about 8 minutes to go in first half.

 

[Connecticut]

Temple starting to pull away.

Rooting for Memphis and UCF so we will be tied for "first" in the standings.

We couldn't score the basketball worser than dem'

 

[Connecticut]

Cincy is starting the 2nd half furious. Rebounding the ball, getting stops, shooting better, etc.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Cincinnati reminds me of the later (senior) Thompson Georgetown teams (save the Iverson years) when the Hoyas had no offensive skills and played an ugly brand of hoops (that was passed off as great defense) and games would normally reach the point where the refs let too much go just to keep from blowing the whistle every ten seconds.

 

[tcf15]

Still a close game between Temple and UCF. 48-46 UCF with 11:30 to go.

 

[BUHusky]

This Cincy/Memphis game is gross. Both teams are playing some horrible basketball.

 

[InKembaITrust]

I think the 1 team in the AAC that most closely resembles Uconn is Cincy. Only major difference is they don't have a daniel hamilton type player.

Cincy down 2 with 14 sec left Memphis' ball

 

[August_West]

Man ucf so close needed that

 

[tcf15]

Temple won, but barely. UCF hit a buzzer beater to tie the game, but replay showed clock at 0 and ball was still in UCF player's hand.

 

[tcf15]

Memphis wins. UConn should be in 3rd place in the AAC now.

 

[August_West]

Temple won, but barely. UCF hit a buzzer beater to tie the game, but replay showed clock at 0 and ball was still in UCF player's hand.

Like 1 tenth of a second and that was good

 

[BUHusky]

It's hard to say a team down 15 at the half blew a game, but Cincy blew that game. I lost track of how many WIDE OPEN jumpers they bricked in the 2nd half.

That's a really bad loss for them.

 

[Connecticut]

Tied with Cincy for 3rd now. A Temple loss would have really helped. Just win tomorrow and knock Cincy down.

cincy has 4 losses now, no?

 

[Connecticut]

cincy has 4 losses now, no?

Yup. They looked very beatable today.

 

[August_West]

Yup. They looked very beatable today.

So we are not tied with them

 

[Connecticut]

So we are not tied with them

Cincy has 7 wins though, we have 6.

 

[kobe]

We suck on the road and I hate Memphis.

 

[August_West]

We suck on the road and I hate Memphis.

We're the opposite. This year I feel more comfortable on the road.
