Wyoming is an 11 point dog to Cincinnati....

[Cowboy Junky]

I don't gamble, but that line seems kind of generous since Cinci has played nobody, Wyoming has played a little bit better of nobody's and Wyoming is winning games by an average of 9 points per game.

More fuel for the upset fire is all that line says to me.

3 of Wyoming's 4 wins are against KenPom top 150 teams (two against top 100). Our best win is against #84 Oregon State on the road. Cincinnati has only played 2 games against teams on the better side of 300. The only top 150 team they've played, they won by 6 on a neutral floor (#132 Buffalo). Wyoming is currently rated 73.

I'm not saying Cincinnati isn't good. They appear to be very good. I am saying that both teams will be facing the best team they've seen to date, and both by a pretty far margin.

I think the Pokes play good enough defense to hang around in this one. Make a few shots, and we may pull it off. It's great to get games like this on a neutral floor.

espn gives us almost no chance in this game. Go get um Pokes.

Does that spread take into account Justin's battered mouth? Or is his mouth OK now?

Yeah it takes account for it. Justin is okay but he got stitches. So I am sure it will be sore and won't feel good if he gets hit in the mouth at all. Nothing he can't play with though.

ESPN also didn't think we had a chance against Oregon st or Louisiana It was like 29% for both those games.

That was probably a blessing. I'm sure it hurts like hell, especially if gets hit. I'll bet the coach would accept it if he realized it came with the fresh legs for not playing half of last game.

His mouth probably hurts like hell, but his legs should be bouncy.

Dalton looked tired last night when he was on the floor. I'm glad we got to sit him most of the second half as well.

So much for bouncy legs...

No JJ. Imagine OSU playing without Tinkle. Different team.

So it makes a mediocre team a bad team?
JJ could have played and Cincy would have throttle Wyoming either way.

That is dumb. All it takes is your best player to get hot to win games you have no business winning. How else do upsets happen? It would have been a different game with JJ in there, we probley would have still lost but the outcome would have been different.
