Re: Everyone cross your fingers!!

I posted for the first time a couple of weeks ago, my feeling then was solidified this past weekend.  We need Kirkland to carry this team.  Max and Hick will always be beast but will be undersized all season.  It looks as if the combo of the level heade moore and quick footed Jihad will take care of our PG issues.  We cant count on Williams, Jihad, White or Moore to shoot consistent from three but Kirkland has the size speed and range to be unstoppable if he plays smart.  White is a great athlete but I see more potential in Kirkland.  It would be nice to have Banks but without him UC goes where Kirk takes them.  Hopefully the Kirk that showed up Saturday is here for good. If not it might be a long season.  Glad were not in the Big East yet, or it could be a NIT first for the bearcats. 

Does anyone think the Zone is here to stay?  I remeber a team 5-10 years ago had great success with pressing full court and playing match up zone.  I think we have the athletes to do the same, if our depth doesnt hurt us.
