A sign at the talent increase from last year. Last season if Vaugn only scores 7 points, there is no way UC wins by 33. Even against a bad team.

[Khatmandude 1,283]

As this team grows together and matures, chemistry is formed.....watch out.......they're very talented. I think next year when Cashmere comes back from his injury and Yancy has a year under his belt, Riek gets used to playing ball gain, they will be a top 25 team easily if not top 15. Mick's proven to be a good recruiter, hope his X's and O's get better quickly.

this was the year Duke was #1[/quote]

Man, that Melvin Levett dunk was insane.......the human helicopter. Good memories fo sho. I remember watching Duke vs UC at Willie's in Montgomery with a group of like 20 friends and that whole place went nuts after that play. Executed that play perfectly. I think William Avery hit a halfcourt shot and Duke thought they won the game but he shot it too late, barely.

[b][size=7]FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!![/size][/b]

I was watching the UC game on Fox Sports and at 8:30 they cut away from the game for the blue jackets pre-game show. I missed the fucking end of the game for a FUCKING pre-game show for a team I don't give a flying fuck about and a game I can't fucking watch anyway since I don't have the NHL package.

What the fuck!!!

Being a Bengals fan as you are, UC losing should rank low on your radar.......

OOop! Nice. Go UC. I can't hate them, Xavier or Louisville anymore, I'm old.

Nice job Tubby Smith!

LOL.

[Jason 3,886]

Way to go tonight Cats! Win over Georgetown!

Woo Hoo!

One more time! A win AT Georgetown is a good win. Even if G was struggling.

If UC gets to 20 wins in the Big East, they should make the tournament. And they have 4 more winnable games, and they might be able to win at least 1 conference tournament game as well.

[Jason 3,886]

Nice win tonight for UC. Mick is now 2-0 against Bobby. Great game for Yancey Gates. I hope this was his coming out party.

[Bengals1181 3,061]

huge must win tonight, luckily they didn't blow it in the end.

[Khatmandude 1,283]

Bad officiating and FT shooting and UC still prevails. I like what I see out of Yancy, he's an absolute monster down low and once he turns on the tenacity a bit more, he'll be unstoppable. He's 6'10 and is athletic as anyone on the team. He's going to get better and better.........good thing because UC will be without John Riek who prob wont ever play college basketball. That's unfortunate.

Now UC HAS to win the next 3 games in order to be considered favorably for the tourney. They're winnable games, although tough ones at Syracuse, at South Florida and finishing off at home vs Seton Hall.

[Rumble In the Jungle 908]

im loving it. sucks to see bob huggins come home like this and cry. really we had to beat him but broke my heart
i want him back so fucking bad :cry:

[Khatmandude 1,283]

Good things coming from UC recruiting .......... should be something official here soon.

[JC 1,321]

Looks like Riek is going to Mississippi State now..

don't look know, but UC is about to sign one of the biggest peices of shit in the country.
My favorite Lance Stephenson moment: When asked about his young child and ex-girlfriend, he said that he is no longer paying attention to "off the court distractions."


I thought Huggins was gone?

His court case is about to get thrown out due to his alleged victim waiting 3 days before reporting Stephenson "groping" her and there not being a witness to the alleged incident. Anyways, he doesn't seem to be the best human being in the world, but he's probably not as bad as he's made out to be either. He seems like a prima donna but if he can fit in with his teammates, he's a hell of a talent......

I'm sure UK has all choirboys on their roster as do a majority of NCAA college hoops teams, thus your need to interject your opinions in a UC thread.

[JC 1,321]

Stephenson is a piece of shit. He is only going to kill team chemistry..and make UC worse. I guess he had to sign somewhere.

He killed his HS team's chemistry so much that they won 4 state titles in his 4 yrs there. Playing in NY.

If thats what you want to believe, thats fine. He isn't going to do anything for UC. They don't have much talent as it is. He isn't going to put them over the top. It's not like he is going to get along with anyone on the team either..

Lose-Lose in my opinion.

Care to provide evidence to back up that assertion? I'll provide evidence to the contrary after you've posted......it'll be like a debate......YAY!

[JC 1,321]

There bringing back two players that scored more than ten points a game..and they only won 8 games in the big east. Mostly against not very good teams.

They just aren't very good. Stephenson isn't going to put them over the top either. Maybe into the NIT.

That's a weak argument for proclaiming "they're not very talented"...........sure you don't want to amend your argument before I present a case for their talent? Remember, TALENT is the key word here.
