Downey with a big shot at the end to seal the victory. Bearcats pull to .500 in the Big East. Cards fall to 3-7. Huge win for UC and just as big a loss for the cards

Eric Hicks should be named first team all Big East. What a player!

I think he played the second half with a concussion.

UC 18-18 free throws for the game!

What a shot by Downey at the end.

Way to go Bearcats!

Hicks is a BEAST!! If Hicks, Downey, White, and Jihad can play like this the rest of the season and McGowen can pick it up a little, I like our chances of getting into the ncaa......

we are still alive by a heartbeat......



Hey, no matter what, with ALL that's happened this year, it's been kind of fun! When's the last time we were wondering if we were going to make the ncaa? Makes it kind of exciting.

Go CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we have to hold serve at home. Next two games at Pitt and at syracuse. At least White will have a whole week to heal that ankle. Next game isn't until sunday.

I just hate to see Dean go out like this on his senior year, but it was a must win for both teams and your crowd certainly pulled them through. Its very tough to win a game on the road let alone a rivarly game, hopefully White is ok. It didnt' look good for him towards the end of the game. Hicks is certainly a warrior and he is the heart and soul of that team. He does deserve to be first team all big east.

Good post kardphan. It was another UC-UofL battle.

I agree...hate to see Dean go out like this.....all I know about Dean is I have love/hate towards him....I love his game and respect him because he can just simply light it up from three point range....I hate him because he always seems to drill UC.......but overall, it's too bad guys like him have to move on.....those are the guys that seem like they played at a school for like 8 years......good luck the rest of the way to UofL!

I hear you cat, I think hicks is truly beginning to be a thorn in my side. Two guys that i truly hate but respect are Deiner and Novak. I was so glad to see Diener graduate and Novak always has a career game against us. It seems like Novak has been in school since the 80's. Maybe we can get round 3 in madison square at the Beast tourny. It would be like the old CUSA days if that happens.
