Kansas State 3/5 7:00 ESPN+

[swilsonsp4]

Fans attending should wear RED

And show up early. Too often, the Senior Night events are conducted in front of a small crowd. The game tips at 7:00. The ceremony starts at 6:30. Get your concessions early and find your seat. If you're a high-roller who is prone to schmoozing right up to and often past tip-off, you can break it off just once.

Bearcats are 9.5-point favorites.

[GoBearcats31]

UC remains in 12th place this morning, though a win would put UC in a tie for 10th with Kansas State and Utah.

10 plays 15 (as of now Arizona State, a near lock for this position)
11 plays 14 (as of now UCF or Oklahoma State - who are tied and play each other tonight)
12 plays 13 (as of now UCF or Oklahoma State - who are tied and play each other tonight)

ASU on neutral = Quad 2
UCF on neutral = Quad 2
Oklahoma State on neutral = TBD (currently 99 in NET, 100 is cutoff for Quad 2)

The highest we could finish appears to be 9th place.

UC (7-11) needs to beat KSU and Okla St

TCU (9-10) needs to lose their final game at Colorado (UC holds the head-to-head tiebreaker if both teams finish 9-11)

Kansas State (8-10) needs to lose to us then to Iowa St at home.

Utah (8-11) needs to lose at BYU.

If multiple teams finish with the same record, the first tiebreaker is record/winning percentage in head-to-head competition followed by each team’s winning percentage versus the team occupying the highest position in the final regular season standings, and then continuing down through the standings until one team gains an advantage.

Rothstein says Coleman Hawkins is a game-time decision

The Bearcats will be celebrating CJ Fredrck, CJ Anthony, Aziz Bandaogo, and Simas Lukosius on senior night, per Cincinnati Men's Basketball FB page. I'm fairly excited to get DayDay for another season, and hope Connor gets his medical hardship waiver.

I understand your appreciation for Hickman; however, Connor needs to move on. Miller's career is on the line here. He needs to get guys in the program that are much more reliable from one game to the next. Hickman was not that guy. I like Hickman. I think he may have made a mistake by coming to a high-major program. Maybe, even, UC was the wrong program.

Every time I see the conference standings it makes me wonder. UC was projected a 6th place finish based on talent. However, the college basketball analysts did not consider the coaching. So, here we are talking about a12th place finish and possibly moving up to 10th place in a 16--team league. Wow!!

When you really think about it, what difference does it make? These teams are all bums and will finish in the bottom half of the league. On the other hand, one of these teams may win the conference tournament championship. It is not likely, but who knows? That is why the games are played out on the floor.

4 points = two easy drives to the lane by KSU

[leo from jersey]

did the announcer just say the Cats need a floor leader in a different way

[Rufus]

I hate to say this but it would be a pleasant surprise if Bandaogo could do something offensively besides the lob dunk.

or the guards would drive more instead of quick jacking up of threes beyond their skill zone (hint JJ)

KSU is horrible - missing open shots with poor passing
