With SMU's win over Tulsa we are now #70 in NET making us a Quad 1 road game for visiting teams and a Quad 2 home game for home teams. Significant news for our team's at-large chances. SMU is now an AAC scalp. Hopefully we don't get scalped though!

Question for Cincinnati fans:

How, in your view, has Cincy's new HC been able to get them to play as well as they have, despite having to do a major rebuild?

What have the keys to the team's success been, thus far?

Better than Sampson first year.

Am I right?

Say yes Justin… you are right

In fact Houston scheduled soft as hell for multiple years when Sampson took over

Sampson non conference schedule rank:
Year 1: 350
Year 2: 350
Year 3: 250
Year 4: 254
Year 5: 283
Year 6: 88

It took Sampson 6 years to schedule a top 100 non conference schedule


UC’s is 265 right now in non con.

Houston didnt have the basketball brand to get invited to quality tourneys 2016.. last year was the 1st majority high major tourney houston has ever been invited too.. your actually scheduling worse than us year 1 but have the brand to get invited to good tourneys

Coach P.

You smoking That good Houston Crystal?

Houston played 7 300+ teams in Sampson’s first year. UC played 1

You are insane. Truly truly bias in the worst way.

If we take away uc 2 tourney games… the average kenpom opponent rank is 213

Houston’s is 242

Ours is better EVEN without our 2 top 50 games factored in.

drugs are bad homie.

Why so defensive? Houston's schedule during Sampson's first season is irrelevant. Cincinnati has had a very weak non-conference schedule and is a mediocre team that has looked good thanks to its weak competition. That is also the case with SMU, but SMU is not the topic. Someone asked about Cincinnati and pesik answered with a rational response. Cincinnati is not a tourney team this year. That's to be expected as you are rebuilding. That's not an attack so no need to be defensive. We are all pulling for Cincinnati to win the Cotton Bowl tomorrow.

UC is having more then a mediocre year within context . They have a first year coach with all kinds of new players. They beat the number 14 team in kenpom by 21 points and went down to the wire with a pretty good Arkansas team.

UC has the best win in the conference. A 20 point neutral court win.

This has been raging success for UC with only 1 game where they truly stumbled.

I brought up Houston because UC is further along then Houston was in year 1 by a long shot.

Interested to see if SMU can win up there next week. They rarely do.

Not related to this season .. but Jaime Echenique just became the first Colombian born person to play a game in the NBA. He got called up on a 10 day contract from the G-League

Never thought Mobley was that good but Tony Johnson could’ve been a very good player. Bad news for UCF
