Re: No Huggins postgame show tonight?

[richard l. kandell]

Look at the "point guard" production in the Valpo game, from the 3 guys billed as UC's point guard(s):  If you combine N. Williams, Moore, and Lucas' numbers you get a total of 41 minutes played, 2 assists, 5 turnovers, zero steals, 3 rebounds, 6 personal fouls, and 10 points on 25% shooting from the field, along with Nick's 75% 6/8 from the foul line.  This is just plain awful, yet we won by 19 points against a reasonably decent team, on their floor, without our potentially best player (White) and our 6' 10" junior college all-American center (Whaley).  If this team does rebound, I can't help believe they can be scary good.  :-)

  I know it is early and that these midmajors that we are crushing aren't very telling but I like our team when you think about this. 

  Missouri ranked #5  beats Oakland by 5 points (we win by 29) and Coppin St by only 9 (we win by 20) and Marquette #23 beats Valparaiso by 5 at home (We beat them in their gym where they are 113-15 by 19).  We are missing James White (who could end up being our best player and in this game we are missing Whaley.   Am I crazy to think this team is good enough to win the National Championship based on this information.  I'm not predicting it but I see no reason we shouldn't be a top 5 team.   With this defense and the depth I just don't see any reason not to be excited about this team. 

  Love these comments: 




                    Valparaiso coach Homer Drew said it was hard to tell that the Bearcats were missing their starting center. 
                    "They just reloaded with someone else," he said. "There was just one less in the rotation." 

                    Drew, whose team lost to Marquette by five and South Florida by two, said UC is better than both of its Conference USA rivals. 

                    "Cincinnati has the edge just in depth," he said.
