Implication of today's game ...

Cincy wins, they improve even more and gives us another chance at a "quality win" this coming week.
Uconn loses, the are the first of the 11 teams via for a tourney bid to get 8 BE losses.  Assuming we win today, that puts a ranked team firmly behind us in the BE standing.

---

Cincy loses, They become the sixth team with 7 losses and assuming we win today, we are in the middle of the log-jam instead of a game behind it.
Uconn wins, they stay at 7 losses with us, makes our road win a but more impressive, and takes Cincy down a peg before our game this coming week.

---------------------

I think it's a really tough call but I voted for a Cincy win/Uconn Loss

I voted UCONN.  Some people looked at our win at UCONN as less impressive because they had not been playing well lately.  If they turn around and beat Cincy at Cincy, it helps to show our win against them was a legit quality win.  Also, confidence wise going into the Cincy game it is going to help since we beat UCONN at their place and Cincy couldn't be them at home. 

UCONN.  I want that win to stand out.

Agreed.  1:52 from getting your (our) wish.

Uconn no doubt about it. Make our win better and brings Cincy right into the pack giving us a chance to clinch a higher seed against them when we play them on Wednesday assuming we get the job done today.

I am glad UCONN won, but this cincy team is dangerous.  they remind me very much of a poor man's saint johns.  Athletic at all 5 spots, aggressive, and they like to take the ball to the hoop.  That cincy game is gonna be a lot tougher than i thought.

UConn did win  ....

This means that 6 BE teams with 7 league losses, including MU (unless a disaster happens later today).

MU is no longer in 11th place.  We are now tied for 6th with three to play!!

We also played UConn twice.  Beat them on the road.  I think it benefits that UConn won, rather than Cincy.
