Who do we want in today’s conference game?

 

[TulsaFan01]

Cincy by 40

 

[Henry Kendall]

Lol I’m good with that.

 

[TU_BLA]

Saddling SMU with another loss would be good for us seeing as how we only have to play them once and it is here. Anything that gives us a little extra separation from teams. Being a top 4 seed at the conference tournament will be important.

 

[Henry Kendall]

Well there’s that. But mainly because it’s SMU and they suck and I hate them.

 

[loca2874]

I am pushing for a SMU win. Cincy is going to get wins and since we only see the SMU once we need wins from them as well. So since the NET uses who we beat has beaten and I knw Cincy will get some wins having that win against the SMOO will help us out. So for today only, GO PONIES!!!

 

[nevadanatural]

I’m on the fence with this one also but I’m going to assume we spank my little pony at home so our best interest would be for a pony win today.

Not sure there’s an ideal result for TU tonight. If SMU wins, they become a legit bubble team. If Cincy wins, they remain on track to tie us in the conference standings with the H2H tiebreak.

I’d vote for Cincy to Lose. It leaves us the opportunity to get the win over a ncaa level team

And drops cinncy down a couple of wins away from the tiebreaker with us. They take down Cinncy, we take down Smoo, all good. Both end up further from our conference record.

Single hand clap, with downward motion of the right hand after.

 

[TulsaFan01]

Cincy by 40

Cincy by 21 halfway through the 2nd half

 

[astonmartin708]

Damn.

 

[nevadanatural]

Well, that didn’t go well for the smoo. Cincinnati is a tough place to play.

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

Typically, we don’t want the top of the conference to win tough away games.

It’s good for SMU to lose.

Cincy still has some tough road games ahead.

 

[loca2874]

Well so much for that plan. On to phase 2 lol

 

[TU_BLA]

Cincy is tough to figure. Smoke us and SMU at their place. And lose games to teams they should beat.


SMU did the same thing we did. Get behind, start chucking up quick 3s and missing. I thought the refs were giving Cincy breaks but reality was it was pretty even, just all of SMUs fouls in the 1st half were on their key starters. Chargois has regressed too.

Last thing: When did the Green Goblin become a spokesman for Just for Men?

 

[nevadanatural]

Our game ended up more of a blowout but we were in it a lot longer. Cincinnati had a double digit lead at half today. If we’d blocked out Vogt an their last shot of the half we would have been down 2.

 

[TulsaFan01]

Cincy’s next 4 games..
Houston
At Wichita St
At UCONN
Memphis
Probaby their toughest stretch so we will see what they are really made of after that.

My prediction 2-2

 

[Henry Kendall]

Hoping you are right.
