CBI 1st round- Cincinnati at Bradley- 6:00 pm Wednesday

Do you guys think Egolf or Collins get any PT? I mean, it's not the NCAAs or even the NIT. You'd like to win and should try to win, but I still think it'd be nice to get them some PT in a real game before next season.
 
I would like to see Egolf especially get some minutes early in the game. Regardless, I think having Warren and Egolf back in the lineup will allow everyone else to get more rest during the game, and that will help a lot. If Les wants to try and win the CBI with Ruffin and Crouch to cap their careers at BU, I have no problem with that. I think we have a real shot at winning this tournament. If Les wants to play Ruffin and Crouch but give tons of minutes to the guys we will be playing next year, I have no problem with that either.
 
There are some viewers online from the Cincinnati area, as judged by IP addresses, but none have yet to post.
A little shy?
 
Hopefully we learn some lessons from the Creighton game... Come out confident, intense... and play some seriously improved perimeter defense.
 
I'm a Cincinnati Bearcat fan but also follow the Braves closely. I love this match up and I plan on making the drive from Cincy to Peoria tomorrow afternoon for the game. Unlike some, I know that UC should not be considered better simply because they play in the Big East (although the tough competition every game is a plus). I also know how hard it is to come into Carver arena and win (I remember the great non conference home winning streak the Braves had going on last season). Either way, I'm hoping for a great game...but of course after all is said and done...I'll be rooting for the Bearcats to come out on top!;)
 
Hoopsfan1, we hope you enjoy almost all aspects of your trip to Peoria,
but unfortunately we cannot hope you guys go away with a win.
;)
 
Sorry Doubters

Sorry Doubters

I am sorry doubters but these two storied programs need
to meet again. If lightning struck and Mr Chet Walker and
Mr Robertson could meet at center court for that last time
that would mean a world to me. Why not? Let's blaze some
old trails and talk about new beginnings.
Friends, it's just basketball and Cincinnatti and Louisville are
our history and our friends.

Ticketmaster says that tickets go on sale at 1201a. Is this true?

Not sure I have ever seen any tickets go on sale at 12:01 am for any event. Probably some sort of error. But you could try it and see if you get ahead of everyone else.
The announced start of tickets to general public is 9 am Wednesday.

Wow that's a great thought...
If they had enough time to set it up, would it be possible
to get BOTH Oscar robertson AND Chet Walker to come to Peoria
and be present for the game and have a pre-game ceremony at mid-court?
I suspect maybe it would be unlikely, but it gets you thinking!
 
I wouldn't mind seeing us sign a series with you guys. The only problem is that we play an 18 game conference schedule which really limits our OOC scheduling. We also still have a few games left with Memphis and UAB that we owe as part of our exit agreement with CUSA. Add in an early season tourney and you are down to about 6 games to fill.
 
Didn't know that. I hate it. We had a 16 game schedule until this season. They wanted every team to play each other once, and you play 3 teams twice. It really limits scheduling OOC.
 
Just a line from this morning's article in the Cincy Enquirer

"Bearcats great Oscar Robertson was 0-3 at the old gym,
which is scheduled to be torn down within the next few weeks."
 
BU - UC Again!

BU - UC Again!

Hey Subflea - check your UC archives but I think there was some 'bad blood' between the school's athletic departments back in the 80's when 'big' Mike Williams transferred to BU after a couple of years with UC. I think that event altered any desire by UC to continue the BU - UC series of games. Now that was then and this is now - I for one would love to see a series of games with UC and I think it would spark a lot of interest for us as a great road trip and certainly would be a heck of a lot more fun than playing UI Chicago in a 'trap' game!

As to Oscar and Chet Walker - I'm not sure Chet is all that fond of BU any longer but whatever problem there is or was needs to be corrected - life is short and Chet was certainly a huge part of BU history! Also remember that Oscar scored (help me but I think 42 points) in that 91-90 BU win which remained the Field House record until Butch Beard broke it with 22 field goals and 44 points! I also remember the 1st win BU got at UC - after Oscar - I think Ron Bontemps was playing for UC and Levern Tart for BU -oh my what memories!

Hey I love talking about Cincy! Good luck Subflea but hope we can handle your size advantage and get a win!
 
What??
Ron Bontemps never layed for Cincy, you must be thinking of someone else.
Ron Bontemps played for Beloit College, The Caterpillar Diesels, and for the US Olympic Team in 1952 in Helsinki.


I am sure you are thinking of Ron Bonham! (UC All American 1963 & 1964)
 
I will see what I can find about any bad blood over the Williams thing. Trust me, the new athletic department officials aren't going to let something that happened more than 20 years ago affect what they are doing now. We just signed a contract a few months ago to play football at Hawaii next season. In 2002 our AD then said UC would never play on that island again after a huge brawl on the field and in the stands. If they think it will be good for UC basketball to sign a series they will. I am going to shoot an email to our AD about it. He reads all his email and is always willing to listen to our fans.
