Cincinnati game thread

[hilltopper03]

These officials have not been consistent

[nathanziarek]

We run into these games every so often, it seems. Just can't get any offense, and that kills our D. Luckily we've come back from more...but it's not been fun to watch.

[nyg]

Getting throttled now.  How many blocks can they get?  Don't they get the hint, stop driving.

BTW, Wilson and Crowder with two fouls is killing MU defensively.  Cincy driving and no defense by either because of fouls.

[RawdogDX]

awesome time out by buzz.  Way to nip their run in the bud when we are playing like crap. 

[nyg]

Wow what a terrible last 20 seconds there.  Gave up 4 really bad points.  WTF???

[ATWizJr]

Hmm... Might not be our night. But ya never know.

[wheresthecake?]

Well ya knew that was coming....

[real chili 83]

We got em right where we want em....I think.

[Daniel]

We cannot continue to do EVERYTHING wrong the entire game.  Big hole tho to dig out of.  Big.

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

OK Halftime. Game sucks so far. If you have a moment check out this Superbar link to give a fellow Scooper a hand. Thanks.

Well, this would be by far the most impressive comeback in a season of them.  Just got run out of the gym.  Can anyone guard Parker?

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Wow. Rough start. I think we got it in us, but we're going to need to play some unreal D.

exactly. Just when I thought we'd cut it to 8-9, they go up 15.

[Warrior of Law]

They look so slow tonight. Like the Deane years. Seriously, how can a legit top ten team give up that many points and offensive rebounds??

[WellsstreetWanderer]

will the blowout continue?   Yancy back in the second half and Cincy doesn't need more offensive rebounds

[nyg]

Cincy shoots 2 for 15 from three.
Gates sits 17 minutes of first half and.....

MU getting bombed.  
11 turnovers
Rebounding is brutal
Nothing from bench, who looked absolutely terrible.  

They were due for a bad game and this looks like it.

Will take alot to get back in this.

[NavinRJohnson]

Tough matchup to try to come back against. I guess I don't see this one happening. If it does, I'm not sure there will be enough adjectives in the dictionary to describe this team.

Cincy is a better team when Gates is off the floor. Jackson is prime example of why you take a flyer on a jumping jack.

unnatural carnal knowledge the bad game. Cincy is playing very, very well and deserve their lead. The Bearcats weren't all that bad in Milwaukee for most of the game and the midget seems to have the right key to making MU look like crap.

This deficit feels much deeper than any other one this season.

Cincinnati was TERRIBLE defensively in Milwaukee.  They have really done a much better job tonight.

And I know what you mean about the deep deficit.  It seems like even our makes have been tough.

[NotAnAlum]

Maybe a hang over from a very emotional win at WV.  We are lacking the defensive intensity that we have had in the past.  42 points is way too many to give up.  Also with MU so forcing our guys to foul is exposing our lack of depth.  I saw Wilson a couple times simply avoid contact and let his guy drive through just to avoid the 3rd foul.  For all of those who didn't feel DG return was that important his 5 fouls sure would have helped plus a big body inside.

[Ellenson Guerrero]

If I have to watch Bill Simmons dunk on an 8 foot rim one more time on ESPN 3 I'm going to flip

[madtownwarrior]

All the 2 seed talk can now shift to worrying about getting a 5 seed

[Lighthouse 84]

Did anyone else think Jamil could've gone right up with it?

[MUMac]

Bobby Knight criticizing Junior for that foul, Knight would have been T'd up and thrown a chair for how bad that call was.
