January 7, 201115 yr Final. Check out Walter's prediction before the game: "I'm going to say Yancy Gates has a double double to help pace the Cats." Gates numbers? 22 points, 14 rbs After this dominating performance, I think it's time UC starts getting a little more respect.
January 7, 201115 yr Good win for the Bearcats. While Xavier is a bit undermanned because of the injuries, it is still a good win for UC.
January 7, 201115 yr First time at the Shoe. Not as bad as people make it out to be. Strange though. I was sitting 3 rows from the top and could not see any of the upper section directly across from me. There could have been naked women sitting there and I would have had no clue due to the catwalks. Good environment tonight. Hopefully the fans continue to show up and have fun.
January 7, 201115 yr Author Dion Dixon was also close to a double double with 16 points and 9 rebounds.
January 7, 201115 yr Dion Dixon was also close to a double double with 16 points and 9 rebounds. He saved what had to be one of the ugliest shots of the night and turned it into a rim-rocker. Impressive. Not Melvin impressive but impressive.

January 7, 201115 yr X's offense is simply bad and it doesn't matter if it's UC or if it's Miami O or if it's Bellarmine. No movement. Dante can't do anything besides shoot a 3 if he's wide open and his feet are set. Cheeks seems to have lost confidence. Kenny is OK unless he gets pushed to the baseline. Jamel looked good. No outside threat hurts. No transition points hurts. Dreadful to watch them on offense.
January 7, 201115 yr Didn't expect Xavier to have lost it by this much. Well when you have more turnovers than field goals at one point, you surely can't expect to be competitive. X was terrible tonite.....Decent win for UC:thumb: I don't expect them to move anywhere in the polls just yet. No losses is IMO the only reason UC is ranked...
January 7, 201115 yr Still haven't beaten anybody... :sssh: :lol: Sadly for us X fans UC still might be tagged with that. Seton Hall gave them a better game.

No outside threat hurts. No transition points hurts. Dreadful to watch them on offense. I agree Clyde. They never push it up court and get easy shots. Walk it up and play half court offense. Then there is no movement. They work the perimeter, kick it inside and then watch the inside guys try to make a shot. Freese played like a 6' guard inside tonight rushing shots like he was afraid of it getting blocked. He needs to play like he is 7' and be more physical taking it to the rim. Their three perimeter guys all look like they are afraid to take a 3 point shot. Jackson is just standing outside waiting for a wide open look. He was a non-entity in this game. Holloway needs to step it up earlier in games. It seems to me like he is content to just sit back and wait till the second half before pressing the action. He needs to come out strong early and establish something on the offensive end. He is their best player and their best offensive threat. Their offense is at its best when he and Lyons do the dribble drive type action and take it to basket. Do that more and kick it back out instead of forcing shots against the bigs. Then they will get the defense moving more and get some open looks. The X defense looks great if they can get something going on offense.

And when they beat Villanova, Notre Dame, or Syracuse, or any other ranked team in the BEast what will your excuse be then?
