Root for Cincy because there is an outside chance if we win out, SMU could lose two games other than this one and ours and we could get the #2 seed.Huge game for the league. Two ranked teams playing for #1 in the AAC standings.
I'm looking forward to it. Not sure who to root for, just know that I want it to be a good game.

For real. Ojeleye has got to be the front-runner for AAC POY, right? Would be SMU's third in a row.It's been a hell of a game. Ojeleye and Evans have been very impressive yet again.
Caupin is very visible against UConnCaupain has been invisible. I really don't think that dude is as good as people say. He's probably as emblematic of their limitations as anybody.
SMU adjusted and started guarding Clark one on one in the post and it's been lights out since. You're seeing some of what length can do to that team and I think it's going to be a problem for them.
Correct. Have only scored over 60 once in a true road game. Don't let the talent fool you, this is how we'll look as long as Mick is the coach for better or (often) worse.While Cincy is a good team, to me they are just a slightly better version of what they have been the last couple of years. They play great D, they rebound, but they don't score away from home. They should have lost at Tulsa this year, and Temple was in it against them. In the NCAAs, they will allow teams to stay in it because they can't put more than 55-60 points on the board away from Cincy.

I think talent is a bigger problem than coaching. It just looks like a team with a cap on what they can do against athleticism.
Evans and Washington look like they could be the guys to get them to the next level, but I don't think they're there yet.
If Cinci isn't hitting their 3s they seem to get frustrated and stand a lot on offenseWe don't have National Title level talent but this by far the most offensively gifted team Mick has had. They have some decent offensive sets but on the road Mick scraps them for isolations for Caupain at the top of the key. That may work against Tulsa but not quality opponents. In all 3 losses they've been dominated in the second half. There is no point in having an offense if you just give up running it when the game gets tight.
Hmmm, that sounds familiar, except we do it when we have a double digit lead.There is no point in having an offense if you just give up running it when the game gets tight.
You do realize SMU won, right?SMU only played 6 players? No way to win a game against a top 15 team being that limited. Is that a typo?
