It would be a big statement win; it would be a HUGE statement to not rush the court!

Talk about putting the cart before the horse, but I'd be disappointed (albeit understanding) if we rushed the court.

surprised Gottlieb picked us considering he didn't know anything about us when we played Lville

Agreed… a lot more work to be done, and many more big wins before celebrating.

Now, rushing the court in AAC tourney? that would be warranted!

Your interior scoring scares me. That is where UC can be exposed. Sounds like there is going to be an amazing environment. I don't think it can outdo 22k screaming UofL fans, but we'll see... :D

I'm the biggest pony supporter in the world and LOVE what we're doing / great kids etc etc. But we ain't beating Cincy. I'll be screaming as usual though.

Correct, we will only have a third of those 22K, but they are a rowdy bunch close to the floor. Cincy is extremely talented and your #5 Jackson scares the bejeebus out of me. That dude is a baller.

Thanks for joining the site and best wishes after tomorrow.

don't go crazy with the best wishes.

Oja - you have been undershooting this team all year. Fine with me but we were within 4 at their place with a minute to go in the game - so i would say this game will be very tight and we have an excellent shot at it.

It's going to be really tough, but it's the most excited I've been for a game all season.

If SMU is going to win tomorrow, we have to contain Jackson, that guy is a beast!

We only lost to these guys by 8 in Cincy, with what seemed like ages ago, this team is much more confident and now knows they can play with and beat some of the top teams in the country. I also thought this was one of the most lopsided officiating games (biased toward Cincy) that we've seen. They've struggled against several teams, but pulled it off in the end. They are beatable, but we've got to play the game of the year tomorrow.

Lower ceiling and students much closer to the floor than UofL. Think Cameron Indoor. The place doesn't have to be huge to be a tough place to play.

Welcome to the board
