Bring on Cincy!!!

Wow. They beat Valpo at home, a program that plays no D, relies heavily on shooting beyond the arc, has around a .400 FGP year after year (don't know what they're at this year), and averages almost 20 TO's a game religiously. I'd be pumped too. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

The Cincy game is actually at a nuetral court in Vegas.

Ah, didn't know that. That'll be a tough game for them your boys then.

You do realize that IL has the best div 1 home record over the past 4 years... dont ya?

Yup, and that's definitely very impressive, although their consistent super weak non-conference scheduling makes it a little less so.

The game that really scares me is Wisc... tough place to play

Definitely. Depending on what happens between now and then I wouldn't be surprised if I was favoring Wisconsin going into that game. Not that I would expect the books to, so it might be a good bet. For a guy who makes bets on his team that is. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Nah... it should be like a home game. I hear Clark is buying tickets for any 2+2 who goes to the game and wears orange [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

My boys could realistically be ranked #2 come tomorrow. I don't expect them to, but KU did not look good yesterday from the little bit I saw and what I read. OSU on the other hand has been kicking ass, and has actually done it against a solid team in hostile territory. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

If you're not joking, I would actually consider coming into town a couple days earlier for that. I might be going to a UW game that day though against Cal. : /

Glad to see SMU and UNLV qualify as 'solid' teams. BOOOHAHA. Got to love it... mid-December and the smack talk has already begun.

Perhaps you missed the 'Cuse game at the Garden, where my boys had a solid double digit victory even with our star player only scoring 5 points. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] They looked scary good.
