RE: Wichita State vs. Cincy (Round #1)
Sagarin ratings put uc at a 6 1/2 point fav if the game was held now. Which usually falls close to the Vegas line . Theres some games to be played before that tho.
Right now at Wichita it's basically a pick em. Not taking into account outside circumstances. ....WSU Senior day , conference title possibly wrapped up?

The great Cincinnati is calling for a "red out" against little old Wichita. The circle has been completed. *blushes*

RE: Wichita State vs. Cincy (Round #1)
***OFFICIAL CINCINNATI VS WICHITA "TALE OF THE TAPE"***
Point Guard - Shamet vs. Jenifer
Shamet is a future NBA player while Jenifer is undersized and merely an average contributor on his best day.
Advantage: WICHITA
Shooting Guard - Reaves vs. Cumberland
After many inconsistent performances off the bench, Reaves has averaged 17 ppg while playing "big boy" minutes over the past 5 games. Cumberland has been a consistent contributor all season but boasts less efficient shooting numbers.
Advantage: TOSS-UP
Small Forward - Brown vs. Evans
Brown plays more of a platoon role while Evans is his team's leading scorer and a future NBA hopeful.
Advantage: CINCY
Power Forward - Kelly vs. Clark
Both players are tenacious rebounders but Clark has developed his offensive skill set to the point where he is now a player of the year candidate.
Advantage: CINCY
Center - Morris vs. Washington
Both are very skilled offensive players who can play physical on both ends of the court. I'm looking forward to this match-up most.
Advantage: TOSS-UP
Bench
Cincinnati primarily brings aggressive defenders and rebounders off their bench while Wichita's bench is packed with experience and a strong scoring punch.
Advantage: WICHITA
Coaching
Two very accomplished coaches who have had as much regular season success over the past 5 years as anyone else.
Advantage: TOSS-UP
Intangibles
Cincinnati is coming off a loss and should be hungry as ever to win at home. The longest home winning streak in the nation should stand for something as well in this match-up.
Advantage: CINCY
PREDICTION: Cincinnati 74 Wichita St 67

RE: Wichita State vs. Cincy (Round #1)
Cincy's defense doesn't let you get a clean shot off hardly ever. If shocktop is going to beat Cincy, their shooters are going to have to sink shots with a hand in their face, or someone bodying them up. Shocktop needs to be comfortable taking those kinds of shots... and making them.
For Cincy to win, it's pretty simple. All they need to do is stop shocktop from scoring.
Hope it lives up to all this hype!

Cincy has to score too right? Or are we looking at a 24-11 type of game?

RE: Wichita State vs. Cincy (Round #1)
Houston had Cincy down by 20 in Ohio and then bullied them into submission down in H-Town. Temple beats them in NJ sans brain fart. The Beatcats are beatable by good teams. Wichita State is a good team with the potential to be a great team. Which one shows up on Sunday is anybody's guess. Before this year I would be very confident. Now you've just got to flip a coin. One thing is for sure, the Koch Arena effect will not be in play...

The games I've seen shocktop, y'all basicallly outscore the other team. Shocktop scoring average is 84 per game currently. I'm not reading or seeing that shocktop is exactly known for their defense. Now, the Coog defense held y'all to 59. That's 25 below you're average. So if you merely let Cincy hit their scoring average, they'll drop 76 points on you. That's not high level math to see what could happen.
Cincy defense is (slightly) better than Coog D, and hold everyone below their scoring average. If Cincy clamps down similarly to the way the Coogs did to y'all, it could be a very rough night for shocktop.
Coogs were able to hit their shots under those conditions, and make them play under the same conditions. Can shocktop do that?

Do you always cherry pick the facts you like? Shox scored 81 points against HU the other game.

You're playing @Cincy.
Don't get me wrong... I'd love to see shocktop tighten up the conference race by going in and beating Cincy, but just sharing my opinion of how they'll have to do it.
