I tend to agree.....
The Bearcats (6-2) record is a bit misleading as they have played an incredibly easy schedule so far, even losing to a Wofford (Yikes).
This edition of the crosstown rivalry is more of a legend than reality to most of the current team as they have only 1 sr. who's played in this game before. Cincy has lost 54 pts. almost 24 boards and close to 12 assists to graduation and have 9 new players on the roster.
New head coach Cronin's, style is a fast pace, run and gun type offense, but he doesn't have the players for it this year. His rotation is hurt as he likes to go 10 or 11 men deep, but to date he is forced to use 6 men and his 7th is getting slighly over 9 mins. per game.
Xavier is the 1st big test for the Bearcats this year. I thought we might get a break on the line here as I was hoping for something under 2 buckets. With the X-men just now dropping out of the top 25 and the Bearcats having played the 11th easiest schedule (#325) in the country, I have to lean to the Musketeers in this one. I like Xavier by 7 -8 pt.
