That # would translate to UC -10.5 on a neutral and -14.5 at home. Seems about right in line to me. HCA is huge in cbb and its hard to be favored by a lot.

I think the Cats cover the 6.5. My only concern is that they may be looking ahead to Saturday instead of focusing on UCF. This game is the most important game on the schedule at this time. Can't afford to give this one away. Need to keep the pressure on the teams chasing us.

We are the highest ranked team to ever come into that arena. My buddy who went to UCF said a good seat is going for a lot of money right now comparatively speaking. The crowd is going to be riled up.

We need to take the crowd out of it early and JJ needs to stay out of foul trouble. We need to come to play.

Not as concerned as some. Bearcats are on a mission. They'll weather the early emotional energy and win by 10-12. Believe TC will get back on track and give UC 8 points. Also, agree with whoever said TRub will have a good game. They'll look at this as a prep for the UL game and be ready to play. You don't want to lose tonight and be looking at falling to 2nd place if you lose to Louisville.

UC had 17 assists last game against UCF and Lawrence didnt play so Sanders logged 31 minutes. JJ and TRub both had 4 fouls. JJ did have 7 blocks.

Scoring in the paint appears to be a key!

Since the start of last season, Cincinnati is 26-1 when it scores at least 30 pts in the paint (14-0 this season) & 19-14 when it does not.

The guy that helped me get some sweet tickets to tonights game works with me and he went to UCF. I remember when he came into work the next time after the game. He was like "What the hell is with that Jackson character...that guy is an animal". I just laughed and had to agree "He's a beast isn't he?".

I hope I get first AND last laugh this time...

Everything about UCF is ugly. Their court is ugly. Their uniforms are ugly. Their play on the court is ugly. I hope the way they lose tonight is ugly.

1 min in and 3 team fouls. Awesome we have wasted every offensive possession so far. Luckily UCF can't make a 3. We are leaving em wide open.

Officiating has been ugly too. Both teams are getting away with everything in the paint...
