Just think the last 3 years of how Uconn has beaten cincinnati
God I still can not believe that shot. I failed as a fan that day. It was a super rainy day in Bogota, in some small bar watching on my tablet with free wifi, my nagging gf asking when we could get taxi home, haha (love her, now she is my wife). I saw cincy hit that dagger of a 3 with like .4 seconds or less and proclaimed ¨f$%& that¨and stormed out. I remember when checking another score in a game I was interested in later that night and seeing ¨Miracle 80 foot 3 sends Uconn to 4th overtime and eventual win¨or something like that with a big beautiful picture under. I looked back up at the box score at the top of the page, still not believing what I had just read. I saw the 4OT next to Uconn and cincy...¨what?¨I said to myself and my eyes very slowly panned to the score. I think I even transposed the score at first. I always do that with Uconn, but only them. Than I refocused and said to myself Öh my freakin god, what happened here?? What? No way!! I scrolled down and saw the big bold letters and a video of the shot. Even after seeing it I could not believe it. I watched it numerous times. I even called my gf over and said ¨remember when I stormed out of that bar?¨ Look at what happened next, I was such a crappy fan today, look at what I missed!¨ Wow. The only time I ever left before the clock read 0.0. Never again.
Yes, I agree 100%. Our rivalry with Cincy has been the one shining light in a dark tunnel as far as playing in the AAC goes. Outside of the last time we played them, I honestly cannot remember the last time a game vs Cincy was a blowout W for either team.
I think all the other games were decided by a possession and/or went to overtime, at least since AAC play.
THey didn't look like a final four team against SMU
to both points, it's hard to win at smu so that's no biggie, don't think cincy is a final 4 team because I don't think they would win a shootout depending on the draw vs the likes of: duke/kansas/ucla.
THey remind me of an old Pitt team and see where the rough stuff got them. I think they don't make it out of the first weekend.
