January 29, 200917 yr They don't have a "bad" loss. I think a lot of people have the wrong perception of UC this year. I would say they were an underdog in all of their losses, (except to PC @ home). @FSU, @XU, @Mem, @Marq, PC (toss up), UCONN, @ Providence. They are currently 58 in RPI and have a SOS of 30. Those numbers look real similar to another team nicknamed the Cats. If the season ended today, they would be a bubble team. Please no talk of them making the tourney. They actually have a pretty nice resume at this point, but under the radar is the way to go for now for them. You're not allowed to make valid points....I like their resume better than some or one, at this point.
January 29, 200917 yr Author Refresh my memory on #1. Nova, Pitt, UL, WVU or Syracuse last year come to mind. Maybe X two years ago with a brutal roster maybe???
January 29, 200917 yr Take a look at UCs resume. It's not like they are USF or DePaul... I took a look at UC's resume earlier today. They're not USF or Depaul, but they're resume is far from strong... At this time, I'll say they've got a legit shot at the tournament. With the amount of respect the Big East has gotten & continues to get this year, a few more wins like this and you've got yourself an NCAA tournament bid.

January 29, 200917 yr Never said it was strong... Right. I guess we could play this game all night and I could reply with "I never said that you said it was strong." Butttttttttt, those games grew old a long time ago (although they're getting kinda fun again with my nieces & nephew).

Butttttttttt, those games grew old a long time ago (although they're getting kinda fun again with my nieces & nephew). I was simply pointing out what UC has done is solid enough to hold up as them being a 3rd tier Big East team that can beat a 2nd tier team at home...
January 29, 200917 yr It will be interesting to see where UC is tomorrow, RPI-wise, in comparison to other supposed tourney teams.
January 29, 200917 yr I was simply pointing out what UC has done is solid enough to hold up as them being a 3rd tier Big East team that can beat a 2nd tier team at home... :thumb: I'm not completely sold on the Big East (outside of UCONN, Pitt, & Louisville), but they've got enough highly rated teams for UC to knock a few of them off and sneak into the tourney... I think the Big East tournament is going to make or break a lot of teams this year. It'll be interesting.
January 29, 200917 yr It will be interesting to see where UC is tomorrow, RPI-wise, in comparison to other supposed tourney teams. Agreed. I'll say bubble.
January 29, 200917 yr Yes. The crowd was I'd say 60% students... Sounds like the students took advantage of the bring your buddy for free promotion.
January 29, 200917 yr Author Sounds like the students took advantage of the bring your buddy for free promotion. Yes they did. Helped the team out a lot tonight...
