So Close, And Yet So Far
The UC Bearcats played one of the best teams in the land real tough in their house, but came up short last night 70-59. Worse news than that was Armein Kirkland is lost to a knee injury for the rest of the year. That makes the Big East schedule seem even more difficult to navigate through. Cincinnati is 2-1 in the conference so far and 13-3 overall. What was once considered a lost season has shown a lot of promise. Can Andy Kennedy's team put together enough wins in the rest of their schedule to keep alive their NCAA Tournament streak? Here's a look at the rest of their schedule:Jan. 14 SyracuseThen it's off to the Big East tournament in the Big Apple. Then after that? Maybe another trip to the NCAA Tournament, despite one of the most turbulant off-seasons in school history.

if they win six more games! are we being serious here? they don't have a guy taller than 6'8", they're playing in the Big East?! They might win 3 more games if they get lucky, and by lucky I mean, if they can pull one out over the Hoyas. Rutgers and Seton Hall they might get past, but that's about it.
Let us not forget that the bottom four teams in the Big East don't even make the conference tourney, so Madison Square garden is far from a lock.
I think the bottom has officially fallen out of the lunch bag, and with Andy Kennedy making comments about how he 'just needs warm bodies' to fill out his practices, and will be 'roaming campus looking for tall guys', you can officially count any postseason appearance, of any kind whatsoever, an accomplishment for this team.
