- Start date
this is how the Tournament Selection Committee ranked both teams:
37 IOWA
27 Cincinnati
37 IOWA
27 Cincinnati
Good Iowa wins by 20 bad Iowa loses by 20!
I have to guess so I guess I'll hope for good iowa

I don’t think they are a lights out shooting team from the perimeter, so if we can force them into some tough shots early we have a good shot at controlling the tempo. Play fast and clean and hawks win by eight.
Already put $$ on Cincy. Don’t like the matchup at all. Hope I lose.
Only other times I’ve bet on Iowa games this year were Oregon and UCONN. Was happy to lose money there too.
Reverse psychology boys.

It would be so Iowa if the women's game is scheduled to overlap the men's.
Dang, I’m in clinic Friday morning; won’t be able to watch.
Well, they better win so I can watch them on Sunday.

So we're the highest 10 seed facing the second-lowest 7 seed.....
That would make sense. Pair us with a team that plays to all our weaknesses and that will be ultra physical and handsy on defense, and the officials will probably allow it because why the f*** not.
Cumberland (6’5” guard) leads Cincinnati in scoring @18/gm, 45% from 3, and leads team in assists @3.7/gm. Only other double figure scorer is Williams (guard) at 10/gm, 28% 3pt shooter.
Athletic team averaging 70pts/gm with 6’5” phenom- I’m thinking Indiana without Morgan. Zone with a guy on Cumberland.
Iowa wins.

Time out, we got Chris Webber calling our game?
Hawk's official website has the game at 12:15PM. Maybe they don't want us watching the 1st half.
The last time we played Cinci was the Cuonzo Martin year (he got injured late in the year)??
Iowa will have to value the ball and be patient on offense. If we press it up and down the floor they will run us out of the gym. Going smaller might benefit us at times. But the biggest thing is knocking down shots.

We lived in Sharonville some years ago and X and Cincy was the classic inner city rivalry.
At first, my thoughts went back to 2005 and the a$$ kicking Iowa took against Cincinnati in Indianapolis.
But after looking at their stats and their schedule we just may have a chance against them. If the Iowa players can get over the shock in the overall difference in athletic quickness, Iowa could take advantage of our front court players.
Another factor is that Cincy is not a great 3 point shooting team, and since Iowa went 1 for 16 in our last game, what's the odds that Iowa has a repeat game of missed 3's. This game may be a blessing in disguise, actually now looking forward to it.

Last couple years truTV has been with the four channel line up of CBS, TNT and TBS.
I think you’re thinking of Kenyon Martin who was long gone by the time Iowa played them in 2005. Jason Maxiell tore Iowa up thst day. He wasn’t the only one but I remember that we didn’t have anyone who could match his girth.
I just finished watching the first half of the AAC championship against Houston. Good grief what an ugly first half. Cincy playing like Wisky when Bo was there (almost fell asleep). They play mainly a zone Defense and I'm not sure I saw them fast break yet lol. They have good size but they sure look slow in this one. Must be tired after tourney games. I looked up ours and their stats, FG%, 3PT%, PTS Scored, and total rebounds. We lead them in everything except total rebounds. I feel like this is one we can get if we hit our shots, speed them up, and play anything that resembles good defense. Stats are from Yahoo Sports.

I'm telling you that I thought I was watching Wisky from Bo's daze lol. Cumberland is the whole team. Stop him coach, and we'll win!thats an awesome scouting report
Now, tell me how Colgate can beat Tennessee!
Some other tidbits from Chad Leistikow & Mark Emmert of HawkCentral (they did a post selection podcast):
* The arena will be where the OSU hockey team plays
* Cincy plays slow & deliberate
* Per KemPom: 334th slowest pace of 353 teams (19.2 sec/possession)
* They are good defensively
* However, Cincy gives up 35% from 3 point land
* Cincy lost to OSU & beat UCONN barely twice
* KenPom has Cincy beating Iowa by 1
* Cincy just got done playing 3 games in 3 days (Fri, Sat & Sun); will that be a factor at all? Iowa will have had a whole week off (last Fri - this Fri)
* The winner of Iowa/Cincy plays the winner of Colgate/Tennessee: Colgate has the #63 offense in America and has won 11 games in a row (soon to be 12???) !!
