Oh boy...



Cincy is ******!

Cincinnati is used to playing in front of a large, loud, and hostile crowd. UCF and their emotions is what I am worried about to be honest. A lot of pressure on them, especially with the football team there watching.

Lol this is going to be fun.

Go Cats!!!

I just wish it was on a bigger network. This should be the ESPN game of the night, IMO.

I appreciate a good defense. I honestly do. But man, I may have to gouge my eyes out after Cincy vs UCF. There will be more points scored in the Superbowl than this game. I think Cincy wins by a touchdown.

UConn and Memphis intrigues me. Which one is ready to try and stay among the top half?

Out of control emotions only affect offense. Your defense will surely be bolstered with all the excitement and energy in the building. Add in a bunch of plays for Taco to catch the ball 6ft above the rim and you should get off to a nice start.

If I'm Cincy's coach I tell my players to not look at the scoreboard until at least the 10 min. mark of the 1st half. Just watch your assignments, crash the boards, and make the extra pass. Jacking up a bunch of 3-ball bricks to start the game should be avoided. Get the ball down low so you get whistles which will slow the game and quiet the fans.

Overtime?

if it comes down to coaching, I'll take Tubby over Ollie...but I feel UConn has more talent than Memphis.

should be interesting at FedExForum!

Line now down to 1.5 points for Tigers over UConn.

Any news on whether Taylor is expected to play or not?

This would be a tough decision; but with UCF pretty much out of the race for a bid for the tourney, would BJ consider just taking a medical redshirt? He only played in 1 game and it would preserve his JR. That way they get 2 years of Dawkins and Taylor and potentially even Tacko for a year.

Im just throwing this out there so hopefully he reads this and decides not to play to tonight.

UCF is still in the race for an NCAA bid. NIT at the worst.

UCF isn't even close to being out of the race for a bid for the tourney. If they win tonight at home vs Cincy, their RPI would be up to #46. And at 13-5. How that is out of the tourney race at this point is beyond me.

Also, I think with almost any programs, them offering redshirts is going to start going less and less. Why give a redshirt, and then allow guy to do a graduate transfer year somewhere else?

This is already BJ Taylor's 4th year of school. IF he is on pace to graduate, he could leave next year and not have to worry about transfer rules.

Hell he could sit out and be a grad transfer at pretty much any program in the country with 2 years of eligibility left.

3" of snow fell across Memphis last night & wind chills are in the single digits. driving downtown tonight for the UConn game vs watching on tv will be a hard decision

Where are you looking? It's up to 2.5 in Vegas, almost across the board on all the sports books listed.

Its like having your gums scraped.

Why do you say that? lol. The defense?

Looks like BJ will be playing tonight. Should help the offense a lot.

Probably wont be a sellout I just checked Ticketmaster and there are around 1500 tickets remaining. Walk ups could help us get close but will still be cool to see 8-9K fans in the arena tonight.
