Northern Kentucky 11/19 7:00 FanDuelTV / ESPN+

[Lobot]

This game looks like it will be simulcast on ESPN+ but GoBearcats has not updated at this point in time.

Considering we just rolled Nicholls who beat NKU, we might get Darrin Horn fired on Tuesday. On the other hand they'll be up for us so it might be closer than we expect. I think UC's talent level is way above their program currently.

The NKU site has this listed as being on the former Bally Sports Ohio. I'm pretty sure this means no one out of market will be able to get the game unless UC gets ESPN+ to pick it up

[Carthage World]

NKU appears to be a bad offensive team and okay defensive team through 3 games. They lost to a top 100 Florida St team by 12, lost to a top 15 Purdue team by 22, and overcame a 19-point 1st half deficit to blow a late lead against Nicholls St last Thursday before losing on a last-second lay-up by 2.

They return a few mainstays from the team that beat us in that awful 64-51 game two seasons ago in 6'5 Sam Vinson and 6'6 Trey Robinson. They lost their all-time leading scorer 6'2 Marques Warrick to Mizzou in the offseason and have attempted to fill his void with 6'4 D2 grad transfer Josh Dilling who averages 14.3 ppg so far but has not been an efficient shooter (34.1% FG, 25% 3FG).

Their only other noteworthy returnee is 6'9 Keeyan Itejere who started 28 of 30 games at Center last season as a sophomore.

On paper, this is a game we should win by double-digits, but considering how poorly we've performed in our first true road game of the season through Wes's first 3 seasons (1-point win @Miami, 13-point loss @NKU, 5-point OT win @Howard), nothing is guaranteed.

This year's squad is considerably better than the one CWM threw out there two years ago at NKU. In that game, the Cats had no one who could guard an isolated ballhandler. The Norse just cleared out and let Warrick and Vinson go past their defenders, or pull up in the lane and shoot over them. That isn't going to happen this year, as it didn't last year.

The second half, in which the Bearcats managed to score a meager 11, was a comedy of errors. UC shot an incredible 4-for-29, including 2-for-11 from outside and 1-for-6 from the line. NKU blocked 8 shots in the game, mostly in a stretch of the second half. UC couldn't shoot and couldn't get the ball to the rim inside.

Good research on first road games of the season for last three years. Hopefully, Coach Miller remembers what happened two years ago at NKU and will have the team ready to play a dominate style of basketball. No upset this time, hopefully.

Yeah, I am with you. Cincinnati should win this game by double digits (easily). NKU on the season is struggling big time. NKU is being outscored by 12 a game, outrebounded by approximately 7 a game, they are shooting 35% from 2, and 24% from 3. Nevertheless, based on the very limited stats from three games of action, NKU appears to be an alright defensive team. Also, NKU have played two power fours (FSU and Purdue). Not to mention that NKU is 0-3. Still, this is one of those potentially dangerous games where even the casual observer can see that UC may take NKU for granted. Hopefully, Coach Miller will have UC ready to play from the NECK UP. Remember what happened the last time UC was NOT ready to play at NKU. Let's hope that the lesson was learned.

Looks like this will definitely be on ESPN+ . The GoBearcats website doesn't have anything listed for TV or Radio still but if you click on the little TV/Computer icon it takes you to the ESPN+ link for the broadcast.

Also, my DirecTV viewing guide shows that FanDuel SN is broadcasting the game tomorrow night. It doesn't affect me. Two of us will be sitting at Truist Arena dressed in red.

Based on what UC has been doing up to now defensively, to me, that is a lot of scoring for NKU. We will see. Those guys in Vegas are not wrong often.
