Unfortunate that they came out sloppy and flat today.
I'm glad they're in a situation where this wasn't must win territory. They're still in a great position.

The UC big men have the worst hands as a group as I have ever seen. This has gone on all year. Squeeze the ball.
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
His D is good don't get me wrong. But at time on offense becomes a problem. He has never really bought into his role in the offense. He isn't a 3 point shooter or a go to guy on the offense but he forces himself into those roles. Often times when he isn't scoring he just stands at the elbow and calls for the ball. He makes boneheaded decisions all the time on the offensive end of the court. And when he and Cash are on the court at the same time they both want to direct the offense and both stand around the top of the key. He is often a detriment on offense when he isn't putting the ball in the hole.Originally Posted by NorrisHopper30
The problem with defensive players is they need to buy into their role on the offense. Just look at a guy like David Lighty who is very good on the defensive end but knows his role on the offense. He knows that he is a slasher and in a half court offense the ball goes through Diebler, Sullinger, and Bufford. And if he does attempt to score he is a slasher and gets to the rim. There is no reason Bishop can't be a very good offensive player, he just doesn't buy into what his role is.
Bearcats trying to eke one out over Marquette. Up by nine with seven minutes to play.
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
Final: UC 67 Marquette 60. At least 10 wins in conference and an invitation to the dance!!

We're a lock for the tournament now. The UConn loss was rough to watch, but it seems that they knew what they had to do to rebound and pick up another fantastic win.
By the way, had to watch the game on ESPN3.com tonight. One interesting thing is you hear a lot more on court communication between the players. UC talks to each other on the court during plays very well, switching up on defense and generally communicating very well. That's a reflection on the coaching, IMO, and should only help the team further improve.
The Lost Decade Average Season: 74-88
2014-22 Average Season: 71-91
Another win would drastically improve seeding I would think though. (b/f the big east tourney)

Huge win tonight...couldn't be happier about all but locking up an NCAA bid. I'd love to see them beat Georgetown a second time at home and clinch a bye in the Big East tournament.
Man, this feels good.
UC is back in the dance, and X is there too....the NCAA Tourney is represented by Cincinnati hoops again.... and the Reds are about to defend an NL Central championship.
Suddenly, it's not so bad to be a Cincy sports fan!
Yeah, so long as you leave out that "other" team.
Oh yeah, those guysYeah, so long as you leave out that "other" team.:
Dancin'!
The most important thing about getting a by in the Big East Tournament could be that they shouldn't have a "bad loss" on their record. That was key if they were to be a bubble team but could be a help in the seeding.
If they beat Georgetown, and thats a big if, and maybe win a game in the Big East tourney they may be able to secure around a 5 seed. It would be huge to get better than a 7 seed. You don't want to match up with a one or two seed in round 2.
