Jason Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 UC is 17-8 overall, 7-5 conference, and has the following games remaining: At Pitt (L) UL at home (L) WVU at home (w) At Syracuse (L) At USF (W) Seton Hall at home (W) Assuming they win and lose as predicted above, that would get them to 20 wins at 20-11 with a conference record of 10-8. I think they would be seeded well enough to win at least 1 conference tournament game. Let's assume 1-1 in the conference tournament. That's 21-12 in a very good conference. Would that be enough to get them into the NCAA? Or would they have to beat one of the ranked teams on their schedule (Pitt, Louisville, and Syracuse)?

gatorclaws Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I'm not a big college basketball person ao i don't really know what I'm talking about. I think they definitely lose the next 2 games, and then they'll have to win out and get a win in the conference tournament. Anything short of that and I don't think they make it.

Bengals1181 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 IMO it should be enough, especially if they stay 6th in the Big East. But you never know. They still may need that big win over a top 25 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoBengal Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I'm thinking they may have to steal one of the losses that you have listed. Otherwise, they're going to need a decent run in the conference tourney. At that point, if they get in, they could potentially win 2 games if the brackets fall in their favor. They [i]are[/i] playing pretty good ball right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTBengalsFan Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I think you guys can beat Syracuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Bunghole| Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I think they can do it given the circumstances Jason posited, especially now with Notre Dame and Georgetown out of the way. I also agree with CT, they can beat the Cuse, especially the way the Orangemen have been playing lately. Good for UC, I hope they do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo Montoya Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I don't think UC will beat Pitt or Louisville. Not that I don't think it's possible, I just don't know if UC is quite on the level of these two squads. They should definitely beat South Florida even on the road and they should probably beat Seton Hall at home. It would be extremely disappointing if losing one of these games winds up costing UC an NCAA birth. The make-or-break games will come against Syracuse and West Virginia. UC simply cannot drop both of these games. If UC drops all four games against Pitt, Louisville, West Virginia, and Syracuse, they;ll need to do some damage in the Big East tourney to get in, IMO. With each win against one of those four teams, UC's NCAA spot would become closer to a done deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThurmanMunster Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 in your predictions the only thing i would change is wvu and cuse. i think they will beat cuse and dont see them beating wvu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumble In the Jungle Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 as much as i love the bearcats, sadly i don't think they will make it now, since nancy zimpher is about to take some new york college job, and west viginia hasn't done too well with huggs, anyone see the university bringing him back ? ? ?

CTBengalsFan Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Huggy bear isn't going anywhere. Last year he was playing with Beilein's players and they overachieved. Now they're overachieving after losing their starting PG (just blew out Villanova). Plus Huggins was able to recruit Devin Ebanks for this year, so he's already doing very well recruiting wise. I imagine as he continues to get his own recruits in there they will be better and better. Assuming he can stay out of trouble, WVU will be happy to have him.
