Check out the comments from UC fans. They are livid that the poor bearcats got called for so many fouls and we didn't. Maybe if they figured out that when you spend most of the game with the ball outside and don'ttake it in, you usually don't get fouled,

Yes, I'm beeen drinking, but I'm going to declare it right here and now: this team will go undefeated! There, I said it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #foedat

I'll admit I wasn't there. I watched it on TV. From the TV perspective, I thought it was a fair game. One does wonder if the officials realized the letter of the rule to kick Sterling out was the bases for some 'makeup' calls? I just think we benefited call wise after the ejection without officials discretion.

Cincy can biatch about the lack of fouls called on SMU but Cincy took 18 more shots than SMU. Maybe they should complain about how many shots Cincy missed especially around the basket

Since I didn't see a clear answer to this...

They both walked towards the incident, but Sterling crossed the sideline and the UC player didn't. Sterling went a little farther out after exiting this shot. It's nitpicking, but it's the letter of the law I guess.

I kind of got the feeling that they gave us the benefit of the doubt a few times after tossing Sterling. The players did a fantastic job of not putting themselves in bad positions though.

We didn't exactly take advantage. 52 percent from the line.

Special Mention:

Ben Moore 5 clean blocks-and he caused other misses too without unnecessary fouls

not to mention 15 points on 5 for 5 shooting from the field and 5 rebounds. He did miss some Free Throws but at one point had his FT% up to 77% on the season which is a huge improvement

by **gostangs** » Thu Jan 07, 2016 10:54 pm

he has one of the most reliable free throws. He had a fantastic game. Uber solid player. He does it all.

Anyone know what our attendance was tonight? I'm thinking around 7,000???

by **LA_Mustang** » Thu Jan 07, 2016 11:09 pm

I bet more. SRO looked full.
