Cincy vs Harvard

I guess I shouldn't have read the BY thread where everyone was predicting a Cinci win...

I don't know what Gottlieb is seeing but that's out on the Harvard guy.

He seemed think the Harvard guy touched the ball, and then his hand vaporized...rather than the reality: his hand touched it, and kept coming down.
 
Just clicked on the scores in the bottom left of my screen. Albany up on Florida by 1.

And the American embarrasses itself.

So far A10 > AAC.

Eh. A 5-12 is not an embarrassment. Let's see how VCU and St. Louis do, also. So far, A10 had a game no one expected them to win, so it wasn't a big deal, win or loss.

No one bought into this Cincy team, so this was not a surprise. They were only a 2 point fav for a reason

Well, the Harvard team UConn played was not the Harvard team that Cincy played.
 
You have to wonder if missing that layup at the end of the UConn game has had a bigger impact on Fitzpatrick? He was so passive and not looking to get any shots off at all when they needed him. His dribbling was shakey and he just didn't seem right.
 
It would have been nice if UC had players that can make lay-ups. Harvard didn't even play that well and still lead the entire second half. Not even upset, this is what UC was this season.

Looked like Cincinnati's defense was kind of soft. For some reason their strength was their weakness this game and Harvard took advantage of it.

Yeah man. Cincy would have won if Rubles and Jackson could have converted some layups.

Rubles with the missed gimme. Jackson with the absurd flip shots when he is the most athletic guy on the floor (save Saunders maybe). Just wasn't their day.

Cincy scored 29. That's not bad, especially after the putrid start. But they gave up 36. They can't score 72 in a game. They need to hold Harvard to about 20 points in the second half if they want to win.

Good call! A Harvard 20 pt half would have yielded a Cincy 1 pt win.

Rubles & Jackson killed ya'll, and I don't know what Jackson was doing out there on both ends. I've seen him in games try to go through guys for dunks and today he was playing like he was 5'10" at the rim.
 
Can we finally admit that Cincy is a middle of the road program and Mick Cronin is a middle of the road coach. Anyone who thought Cincinnati basketball was going to bring the AAC into the big time was dreaming. They are what they are...a poor man's Iowa State...

So much for heroes made in March ;)

Haha, now that is funny. I wish Cronin would keep his mouth shut sometimes. He said time and time again that his seniors had "big plans" in March, yet none of them played well at all today.

Depends what you mean by "middle of the road." If you mean a school that will consistently make the NCAA Tournament but won't be a true National Title contender...then yes, Cincinnati is a middle road school.

Iowa State is Hoiberg...the end. Cincy's better than that program historically (although maybe not until Hoiberg leaves).

I will always have a beef against Iowa State for losing as a 2 seed to Hampton. It killed my player pool and Brackets. Jamaal Tinsley and Marcus Fizer literally led Larry Eustache to drink.
 
I know that they are league brethren and represent one of the best teams in the AAC. I know that I should have rooted for them but come on admit it. Wasn't it nice to see Jackson's mug wiped clean?

Yes, drawing sweeping conclusions from one game in a single-elimination tournament is always a good idea.
