Message: [QUOTE="AACREIGNS, post: 2026173, member: 5639"] I've seen some angst about my lopsided score prediction. That wasn't meant as a slight or to disrespect UConn in any way. Sometimes you have to be honest about things, and if we're being honest we have to acknowledge UConn is 10-11 with some really bad losses and Cincinnati is 20-2 and a top 20 team in the nation. UConn also is coming in with a very thin roster due to some unfortunate injuries. We're also celebrating our 1992 Final Four team(I'm ready for the jokes, but it is a big deal here and something we take pride in) and our arena is sold out and I guarantee you it will be an extremely loud atmosphere and I truly believe Cincinnati possesses the absolute best atmosphere in the AAC when the place is sold out and a worthy opponent is in town. UConn is obviously down, but the UConn name and brand still hold weight and our fans gear up for this game. To me, all of the above very well could point to a big Bearcat victory. I predicted a 38 point win, but if UConn keeps the game within 30 I wouldn't be shocked. UConn still has very formidable players like Foxen, Vital and Noyes along with a solid player like Jalen Adams. I come over to this board because you guys have a sizable fan base that cares and I like to discuss basketball with other fan bases. This league doesn't really present many opportunities like that, teams like Tulane, UCF and Tulsa do not have huge fan bases like UConn so I do enjoy it over here. I didn't mean to be disrespectful with my score prediction, but you have to understand what you're walking into. [/QUOTE]
