Why not??? What is this board good for if not for predictions? Pessimism? Why don't you predict what you think will happen? Then we can all figure out if we agree with you or not. |

Clemson put up 85 against WCU and doubled WCU's rebounding total and shot 52% from field and had 21 assists. WCU was picked 8th in their league. Savannah state lost to ETSU, who in turn has lost to NKU. Basically, the teams UC is playing they are beating them how they should. These are formal exhibition games and Cronin is treating as such, getting bench players minutes and letting some of them start. Huggins once told Hicks that everyone looks good against these teams. Sure, UC looks deep and tough against the southern conference doldrums but they should. UC is top 20 and these teams are sub300. The only real thing that anyone can take away is nobody got injured, traffic is horrible getting in and out and the band is rowdier taunting the opposing team.

People are excited because the overall level of player we are bringing in continues to increase. We didn't always have freshman that would play well against the 300+ teams.
But the teams we have now, our freshman better play well against the weak teams, otherwise we wouldn't be bringing them in. |

I would also like to add Quadri Moore put up 9 points 2 boards and 2 steals in his first ever game here. He also hit a 3. People were excited for his ability. They have to be able to show it against quality opponents.

I gotta agree with this. Williams still hasn't made a three and until he does quality teams are going to sag off of him and take away his strength that is driving. Once he adjusts to this then I think it is safe to make a determination on how productive he will be this year.

I mean, were ranked #12 in the country, its not like Bearcat hype is only coming from irrational bearcat fans. The fact is; UC is ranked #12 in the country and we are playing like it. UC is not taking any opponent lightly and yet, they look effortless in the way they beat teams. I seriously don't know how UC could have played a better game last night. They were near perfect on all fronts. Do we need to prove it against better teams? Sure, but we haven't played them yet and all we have is what we are seeing and IMO it doesn't matter who the opponent is, you can see talent, Chemistry and a good team when you watch a team for 5 games. And what I love even more is that I think its going to take an off night from 3 or 4 guys for some one to beat us. If Jacob Evans doesn't shoot a single shot, we can still compete with any team in the country because of what Gary, Kyle, Cane and Jarron bring to the table. I mean i cannot even fathom what its like to scout UC. |
