Seton Hall
 

Seton Hall:
*13-8 overall
*2-6 in the Big East
*Has not beat a ranked opponent
*Losses are to Washington, LSU, ND, Louisville, Providence, Marquette, SJU and Georgetown

Obviously we should win. The thing I'm worried about most is the 11:00 a.m. tip. Anyone know what the hell the reason for that is anyway? To make matters worse, I'll be in Las Vegas so it will be an 8:00 a.m. tip for me.

Prediction: Bearcats win 7 to 3.

Actual Prediction: Bearcats win 67 - 55

The 11:00AM start is a little worrisome. However, I think Cash bounces back with a great game, Kila puts up 18-20 pts, and Rubles steps up as the needed third scorer this time around. Cats win 74-62.

Yep, the Bearcats do not play well in late morning or noon games.

65-53 Cats is my prediction.

BearcatMick's: 113-24 UC

Fuquan Edwin standing at 6'6 is their big time player, averaging almost 17 ppg and shooting 45% from 3's. SH has to other players averaging double digit points. We must contain and get hands in their faces and rebound. The 11 am tip sucks but I've watched other big east teams play that 11 am game so I can't complain. In reality, that 11 am tip is just another lame excuse if we have another poor 1st half. I think we will be ready though and SH's defense isn't that good so there is zero reason why we can't score points against this team.

**I was really happy to see how quick we looked to push the ball down the court/ make the outlet pass against rutgers. That really helps us score some points and not get trapped in our own half court offensive woes. I would really love to see more of this on Saturday.

UC-67
SH-60

I don't care what time it's played UC should win and I think they will. I think the team leaders understand these are Feb games and its time to take it up a notch.

Bearcats play better on the road

UC 70
SH 55

I would really love to see this team make a big stride and just dominate this game. They should envision themselves playing a big name school in March and just stomp on them. Our defense is great, if we can avoid 4-6 minute scoring droughts we could hold a serious lead and cruise. One of these games we got to have a complete game right? 15-20 point victory? Does this team have it in them? I sure hope so.

Where's Bearcatmick?

Well anyway......

We have the greatest head coach in the history of the NCAA.
We are going to win the national championship this year because we are the best team.
Seton Hall sucks.
We will win by 30 or 40.

:D ;) :p

Seton hall is no nowhere near our level.

Uc by 12-15

Uh oh, when you predict 20 point wins we win by 8 or less. Now you predict 12-15 so I'll be positive and use your 15 point prediction....tada, UC by 3 points.

UC has never won in South Orange NJ....it seems like we always have close games against SH. Hopefully this year will break the streaks.

UC 74

SHU 62

Kegs and bacon before the cats kick Seton halls arse. Leeeeets go!

Hey this is a great start, is this side announcer for real? Dressed in a pirate outfit? Least we are throwing it to the post!

UC is getting out hustled and out played. Shaq needs to get off the floor. And we are back to jacking up stupid ass 3's. Way too much dribbling.

ZZZZZZZ'

-Cash is dribbling way too much
- When the ball goes into the elbow, why do we always turn away from the basket??

Gotta love us missing free throws. They are just like turnovers.

That was at least the 3rd and one we gave sh. Come on, weak ass defense.

We'll turn it on the 2nd half. First half these kids are still sleeping.

We ended the half on a positive note but seton having there way down low

They have a fat guy and 4 skinny kids. We should be pushing them around

So it wasn't a pretty half but UC is up 5 and yet there isn't one remotely positive comment? Cincinnati sports fans always have to find something to complain about.

It's February. This team is who they are for the most part. That doesn't mean they won't still get better but if you expect them to be efficient offensively, you will be disappointed every game. Seton Hall got crushed last game. You knew they would have a better effort today.

We had a good final 3 minutes. We need to keep attacking and get the fouls on them. I am nervous because their star scorer sat the most of the 1st half. Its clear if we can force turnovers we will be in good shape. Also, if we are going to foul, hit the guy. Too many soft fouls resulted in way too many and ones. I was pleased with our offense overall and anytime we get over 30 is good for us lol.

Normally I'd agree with that comment, because I think we can all be a little too hard on our Cincy teams. That said, we didn't look great at all, we were down a lot of the half to a 13-8 Seton Hall team that, let's be honest, we should beat by 15. Of course you aren't going to have people posting things right now like "WE ARE ON FIRE!!! WHAT A GREAT HALF!!!" We expect better things from this team. We aren't exactly playing our best.

Honestly, I wasn't expecting to come out at half with a giant lead on these guys. That really doesn't happen a lot in league games. Their one big is quick and larger than any of our post players. I can't fault Mbodj that much. Yes, he got pushed around a bit but where was the help? Jackson sat there and watched it happen once or twice. You're going to have to collapse on on the guy.
The main thing that looked bad imo, was some of the shot selection. Not sure what they were thinking early on with some of those 3's.

You might think we should win by 15, but the spread is only 5.5 points.

I hope we contain Edwin!

Seton hall is good at home. And we are 0-3 at their place.

Who is this team?!!! Yeaaah baby let's keep it up!!!

Were going to win the game but we have yet to see this team put 2 solid halves together. We'll need those in the NCAA Tourny. This Seton Hall team is sorry and we should be physically dominating from the beginning.

They had to start the game at 11am too

Looking pretty good to start the second. I like that the ball movement has improved.

We simply can not let up! As long as we don't go cold offensively we got this but there is a lot of time and we know how big leads go with us! I want to see us put our foot on them.

Two stupid turnovers and a goal tend by and a foul that led to an and one Gaines. He needs to get off the floor. Gelawn is beyond frustrating too.

Okay... I see now why Gaines doesn't play much. I feel bad, he needs to maybe wait til next year. http://www.bearcattalk.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

And let's watch UC piss this lead away. Stupid turnovers, bad defense and a "prevent/stall" offense is a bad recipe.

UC is painfully predictable. Or I can see the future.

College basketball is a game of runs. Now it's time to respond.

I really think uc gets bored when they have big leads, so they let the other team come back from 20 points down lol
