LOVE the offensive maturation of Justin Jackson. For the first time in his career I am trusting his dribbling skills.

Uh oh. Jax in pain.

Defensive transition HAS to be better guys. Dig deeper when retreating.

UC leads 12-9. Looks like Jermaine Sanders will be coming in.

Big news out of Louisville. Freshman Wayne Blackshear has been medically cleared to play. Blackshear is a five-star shooting guard out of Chicago, Illinois. I don't know where he is at with fitness, but this could impact the Cincinnati-Louisville game later this month.

Dion shoots lowest of low percentage. Air ball.

Highest of high percentage. Dunk.

Trend towards high percentage DDD. Please.

UC leads 18-15 with 7:10 to play.

STJ is taking a lot of jump shots. Have to feel good about that. Gates to the line.

UC leads 20-15 late first half.

Is Mick playing Jermaine Sanders because he is from NYC or because Justin Jackson is hurt? Hmmm.

UC leads 23-15 with 5:11 to play.

2 on Yancy.

Jax is back. Training staff must feel there is no danger of significant damage. Good.

UC leads 23-17 with 4:00 to play.

Cash spotted an exhausted defender and blew by. Love the composure and patience by Cash early.

LOVE that Coach Cronin is going deep into bench early. Drag these short-handed Johnnies into fatigue.

Cashmere Wright already has six rebounds. Astonishing. His career high is seven, which he achieved twice (West Virginia, Georgia).

UC leads 28-17 in the final minutes of half.



Posted on 2/8 7:41 PM | IP: 24.209.29.250

The Bearcats have 25!!! first half rebounds.



Posted on 2/8 7:43 PM | IP: 24.209.29.250

GREAT half for Cincinnati!! Don't play lethargic out of the locker room, but extremely encouraging beginning.

UC leads 30-19 midway home.

UGH!!! Cats came out flat. Why!?! Why!?! Why!? You know that they were told it would take 5-7 strong minutes to bury St. John's. Now they have re-opened the game up.

UC calls timeout up 32-24.



Posted on 2/8 8:04 PM | IP: 24.209.29.250

Cats get a bucket after nearly-failed 4-on-1.

Stop the penetration by STJ and this game will evaporate .

STJ transition defense is suffering, perhaps from Cincinnati's deeper rotation.

UC leads 39-24 with 17:01 to play.



Posted on 2/8 8:07 PM | IP: 24.209.29.250

Dixon and Cash sink into 2-3 zone. St. John's really hasn't slashed well tonight. Cincinnati can live all day with the Red Storm shooting mid to long range jumpers.

I believe I saw St. John's is 320th in the nation in FG%.



Posted on 2/8 8:09 PM | IP: 24.209.29.250

SK has such a quick release. Considering how limited his elevation he still scores easily.



Posted on 2/8 8:11 PM | IP: 24.209.29.250

Very, very patient passes by the Bearcats tonight. They are playing like veterans against an inexperienced opponent.



Posted on 2/8 8:15 PM | IP: 24.209.29.250

Lots of minutes for Jermaine Sanders tonight. And Cheikh Mbodj is giving UC improved defensive play. Blocking shots, starting breaks.

UC leads 46-28.



Posted on 2/8 8:18 PM | IP: 24.209.29.250

St. John's has a tricky zone to decipher. It is a 3-2 but the guards seem to have a lot of freedom to drop off or bounce outside. I think UC will be more successful against their man-to-man defense. STJ leads 5-4 with 5-4. Posted on 2/8 7:14 PM | IP: 24.209.29.250
