Will be interested in this game. Cincy sh$t the bed recently in a horrendous home loss wish they would have won that one, will be interesting to see how they look/perform against a good Tenn team before our game.
Tenn at Cincy tonight

- Start date
Tennessee has struggled offensively at times this year. They're really good defensively, but this is not the same team we took to OT last year in the tourney.
edit: Mistakenly thought this was a neutral game. It is at Cincinnati

Kind of cool we played both these teams in the Tourney last year. That 2nd half vs Tenn, so fun and then I shut off the DVR when OT starts and call it a W, ha.
Yeah, odd that Cincy would have had a rematch regardless of who won in the tourney.
Agree, but looking forward to seeing them play, will be rooting for Cincy.
I was but working OT tonight now, I have the gametracker pulled up. Don't like to hear that!
Hope the Hawks come ready to play, good opportunity for a solid Neutral Court win.
Shoot 3's over em and let Garza use his witchcraft on em inside.
Cincy full court presses a lot and it affected Tennessee a lot. The Hawks need to be ready for the same and hopefully handle it well. Cincy also shot well vs. Tenn and was effective driving the to the basket.
This isn't a great cincy team. But they are far from a pushover. College basketball is as big a crapshoot from game to game this year as any of the recent seasons I remember.
Would be a good, tourney resuming building win if the Hawks can pull it off.

Cincy lost to Colgate the previous game
Tennessee beat Colgate to face iowa last March
Kind of a cool coincidence

100% this, there are no dominant teams and I think it is as wide open as ever, feels like a lot of Mid Majors will be top 6 seeds and do major damage this tourney. I really hope our Hawks can be a part of that party with anything being possible if in.
Cincy looked pretty good in this game. If we hit our 3 pointers though, we should be able to beat them. They had Tenn in foul trouble early. We have to not fall into that trap.
The Bearcats definitely didn't look like a struggling team, last night vs TENN. However, playing at home and the momentum gets going, they got a nice win. That's why there needs to be a LOT of Chicagoland Hawkeyes make it up to United Center on Saturday !
Boy, I was way off. Congrats to Cincinnati, but this works out best for Iowa. It'll be another quality neutral court win on Saturday.
Yep this will be a tough one..............they are almost all tough games. I'm hoping that the 9 days of practice between the last game with JBO will help us out. I'm sure all the players knew this day was coming. Guys will step up no doubt.
After the game, Cincinnati jumped 24 spots from #116 in the NET rankings to #92. Tennessee dropped 19 spots from #24 to #43.
KenPom now has Cincinnati at #54, one spot ahead of #55 Syracuse.
Vegas currently lists Iowa as a 3.5 point underdog.
