OT: Louisville vs. Cincinnati

[metsfan2323]

Louisville still has @Memphis and @ SMU (could lose both). They end with us. It is now a great race for the reg season title. Cinci wins its over. Our game against SMU has more importance now. We can beat Ville.

This is gonna be FUN!

This.

The officiating was dismal for most of the game and probably helped Cincinnati a little more than it did Louisville through the course of the game.

I was very impressed with the interior play of Harrell and Mathiang. They gave UC a dose of their own medicine.

When Caupain got fouled with 11 seconds I knew it was too much time. I am used to having teams hit shots at the buzzer against Cincinnati...

I was just glad we fouled someone besides Kilpatrick, lol. It gets so old watching him routinely kill us at the line. In fact, it gets old watching him be 80% of the offense. But - he is just that good - so, in a way, I'm glad to get to watch someone - no matter who - at the very top of the game. What a player he is.

Hopefully the two will meet again in Memphis for the rubber match and the conference tournament title...

I thought that was a great game. Both those teams just play so hard on defense. Kilpatrick managed to take nearly half of Cincinnati's shots while recording one assist, which is pretty remarkable.

I agree with Tenspro that a Cincinnati win would have been better for the conference, but it would be nice if you'd put away the histrionics once in a while.

I'm pretty certain you have message boards for your own teams to discuss this matter on.

I like the way we've been playing lately, but Louisville has been a terrible matchup for us over the last several years.

2013-14: Lost at home by 12
2012-13: Lost at home by 15
2011-12: Lost on the road by 21

Whether in terms of coaching, style of play, toughness, or skill, they've had our number. I think we'll be able to do better than the previous 3 games, but to beat a team, on the road, that we've scarcely been competitive with is a very tall order.

This is a bad outcome for anyone with long-term interest in the AAC. It will be embarrassing for the conference if its first champion is a team on its way out.

Furthermore, it would have been more compelling for our home game against Cincy to come against a potentially top-5 team, rather than 10-12. FWIW, I don't think we have a chance @Louisville, so them being ranked higher doesn't do anything for our "quality win" profile.

you really don't look on the bright side of things often do you?

Excellent game. I don't think it mattered that much to us who won and we have a good chance of beating both of them. It will take sustained high energy performances but we can do it.

If Cincy had held on, I would have said it was a great win for the AAC.

If Cincy had held on, I would have said it was a great win for the AAC.

If you never post here again, I would say that would a great win for the Boneyard.

Hopefully, not so much -- I'm sure there's another place for you two to have this conversation...

The way that trend is going, I'd say we are due for a win.

I don't care who won this game
All I care about is what UConn does the next few weeks
Cinci and Lville mean nothing to me unless the Huskies are the opposition
