[Rufus]

I don't know if TCU is going to miss tonight

[leo from jersey]

well we spoke of a return to bearcat toughness and defense - it was just talk for now.

[longtimefan]

Day Day plays because he’s a better defender. Got it.

[leo from jersey]

aziz is coming

[leo from jersey]

something about perimeter defense

[Bearcat9796]

terry Nelson doesn't get to do any conference games for espn plus?
do we get Homers for other teams every game?
nvrmind, see him doin radio

[BearKatz]

Two TOs on two possessions!

[BearKatz]

Hard to believe it's not packed considering we're playing TCU... I figured there wouldn't be a seat available.

[Lobot]

Aziz Bandaogo will dress for tonight's game per Rothstein. It Remains to be seen if he will actually play.

[Rufus]

Bearcat9796, I'm jonsing so bad to see some UC bball swagger, I pulled out my VHS copy of the 1992 Midwest regional final between UC and Anfernee Hardaway's Memphis state Tigers yesterday. Watching that replay of handing them their 4th consecutive loss to us in the same year seemed to quench the thirst. But it won't satisfy for long. Lol

[Lobot]

If anyone needs emergency tickets to this one, Let me know.

[Bearcat9796]

I'm thinking our offense has to make an appearance sooner or later may as well be tonight, and I'm thinking that DS, SL or JN has decided to assert themselves and be the CO on the court to lead this team. In the words of the late outrageous Judy Tenuta " Hey It could happen". Go 'cats

agree! ...and a Judy Tenuta reference?! that Rufus is a Constanza, goin out ona high note post! wait for the next game thread, u can't top that

[GoBearcats31]

Joe Lundardi has UC as the third team outside the field https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/st...ld-predictions

We know a mid-January bracket projection is meaningless, but I absolutely think it is fair to suggest UC is right in the mix but has a ton more to do to get into the field of 68 come March. All of which is to say, a big opportunity tonight. Need it!
