UConn vs. Cincy Game Thread

You do realize the next game is vs. Villanova, often the ugliest game of the year even WITH the starters in?

And Rutgers is around the corner.

Yeah, Villanova is pretty much always an ugly game. However, Villanova has some nice wins this year (DePaul, Syracuse, USF), so I'd like to think that will translate to a better game than it has been in recent years. I know that it's a long shot and wishful thinking on my part, but I really cant image the next game can be much worse than this one was.

Found it, it is another name for the Lesser Panda or Bintorong.

Seeing as how pandas, lesser or otherwise, are not indigenous (sp?) to southern Ohio, there's gotta be a story as to how Cincy choose "bearcat" as their moniker.

Interesting. The stands where the camera is pointed looks full, at least the lower level. The opposite side? Not a single person! I am not sure I have ever seen that before.

I went to a game at Cincy some years back. They don't open up seating on the "far side" of the arena, at least not for women's games. Since the camera positions are on the crowded side, when they show the game, the backdrop is the unoccupied side. This was when Mel was still playing, and there was quite a healthy contingent of family, friends, and high school support for her.

Well geez, why wouldn't they go with Cincinnati Lesser Pandas?

I'm kind of partial to the Cincinati Bintorong.
