6:30 PM (becoming the dreaded tip-off time) Cintas Center
Granted the last game didn't excite the crowd or students but this game lets have the crowd and students bring the excitement. Maybe the team will respond
UC hasn’t won in Cintas in 22 years. They have not been in most of the game at Cintas in the last 14 years. KenPom picks the Bearcats to win 76-75 and rates the game a 50-50 coin flip. If there was ever a time to sneak up on a team. Lenny Brown magic or stomp them and put them in their place
Xavier has won 4 in a row in the game and a win could make X the first-time 5 game win streak against UC.
The Bearcats have been off since their last game Dec 3rd so they have a week to work on their shootout game plan. Viktor Lakhin(one of their better players) was struck by a car on Nov 30 but on Dec 3 he scored 19 points and dish 6 assists. He cried the last game when X beat them at their house. X will see an old foe in former Butler player Simas Lukosius who has made X's life miserable at times. Additionally, their team boasts 3 players 6"11, 7' and 7'1"
Uc is shooting 37.4% as a team from the three-point line. They shoot about 10 per game on average. They average almost 78 points per game, 41.7 rebounds, 17.6 assists, 7.1 steals their SOS is 96
Team ranking has X at 29 down from 14 and UC at 184 down from 175. Nolan SOS X 12 and UC 96
