Cincy @ Louisville ESPN

Who ya got in this game???

Rooting for Cinci since L'ville already beat us but i think it will be a close one either way... Cincy is a really solid defensive team - I wouldn't be surprised to see them pull it out...

 

[Hi-Low]

It's UConn, Cincy & Memphis until CR us do part....Go Cincy, they look like the real deal.

Happy to take L'ville's tourney credits but will never root for them.

Cincy is terrifying on defense. Our game against them may boil down to how many tough shots Napier and Boatright can hit.

thank God the staff will have a week to gameplan on how to attack this D

If we don't show up to play vs cincy it could get ugly

 

[UCONNfan1]

Well I was way off. Thought Cinci could "pull it out". Looks like they are going to stomp L'ville...

 

[superjohn]

Cincy is tough as hell, it's a bunch of frown men. They play nasty D, don't turn it over, rebound......don't really see any weaknesses with them. That's going to be one hell of a task beating them at Cincy.

 

[superjohn]

Just as I write my post about them not turning it over, Cincy turns it over 4 times in a row. 3 point game.

I'm pretty sure Cincinnati is a little inebriated right now...

Harrell should have been T'd when he knocked the dead-ball out of Cincy players hands...the ensuing T on Cincy was BS. Cronin almost lost it like Ollie....put the brakes on himself just in time. Playing L'ville seems to bring out the fire in opposing coaches.

Holy hell at how high Shaquille Thomas just got on that alley-oop.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Cincinnati looks like SDSU-lite to me. Very tough defense, not exactly world-beaters on offense.

UConn will have its hands full, though. Big boy pants type game.

 

[dtrumpet]

cincy is not very smart, but they are tough. Mick Cronin is certainly not helping. He's endured a 14-0 and 12-2 run to give up the big lead and is still sitting on his time outs.

 

[Jerry1714]

Lville's only decent win is us, this team really should be ranked no where near where they are

 

[superjohn]

That was one hell of a game, Cincy is going to be tough but we can beat them.

 

[Hoophound]

Goodman asks Cronin "what does this win mean for your program?" Cronin responds " our program has been around a long time and won championships and been to Final Fours". Basically tells Goodman that it's no big deal for Cincy to beat UL mid season, good for him. Goodman is such a d bag.

 

[superjohn]

Goodman is by far the worst guy on tv, no clue how he got his job. It's like ESPN hired him just to troll us.

Cincinnati = the new Pitt

Every Cincinnati starter is at least 21 years old and Sean Kilpatrick is 24. Still not as old as Carl Krauser was as a senior, but pretty close.

Yeah for this year, we will probably start 4 underclassmen next year.

Loved watching this game with a bar full of Cards fans and seeing them lose!

But at the same time I'm thinking, damn! can we beef up Nolan and amida before our game next Thursday?! Those cincy boys looked big.

Cincy won despite getting "UConn'd" at LVille………I am still wondering how the hell Harrell (who is a passionate punk by the way, don't care for him) hammered to ball out of Rubles (who rivals Harrell in the punk category) hand immediately after the play, taking his arm with it - yet when Rubles reacts as he would naturally the ref goes after him. The punk play was by Harrell? That was an awful call and they continue to treat Pitino and his team like K and Duke for whatever reason……..great win for Cincy. They throw it up and go after it non stop and our guys better be ready for a brawl in a week, one they haven't seen in a while. One thing Cincy didn't like was the full court pressure, not sure if our guys can do that but they may have to in order to change things up.

I'm not sure whether Pitino and Cronin's "quick" discussion at the end was all that positive coming from Rick or not, that was interesting………almost seemed as if Rick had some parting thoughts in a "nice way" during the hand shake!
