Their remaining schedule isn't that bad either, so they should be able to get to 10-8 in conference. If they do that, they'll be in very good shape for a bid. A 9-9 finish might be enough, but it depends on who those nine wins are against. Winning at home against West Virginia this weekend would be a huge addition to Cinci's resume and will keep them in the bracket for a while.Bracketology 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/01277396896660963269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-67418294309600809792011-01-27T14:43:02.562-05:002011-01-27T14:43:02.562-05:00If Providence keeps improving and wins a couple mo...If Providence keeps improving and wins a couple more games, any chance of 12 in the Big East??NovaNationnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-60887300628133562742011-01-27T14:39:29.024-05:002011-01-27T14:39:29.024-05:00"As for BYU, well, let's just say defense..."As for BYU, well, let's just say defense isn't their specialty."<br /><br />You must not have watched last night's game against SDSU or read any of the many articles written by people who were impressed with BYU's defense last night. Even the sportscasters kept saying BYU's defense is highly underrated. Jackson Emery shut down D. J. Gay last night. 0-9, 2 points.<br /><br />Also consider:<br /><br />23 defensive rebounds<br />8 steals<br />9 blocks<br />35.5% shooting by SDSU<br /><br />I'd say that's pretty good for defense not being their "specialty".<br /><br />FYI, BYU likes to run a lot. They have one of the highest offensive tempos in the country. Teams that run don't have the gaudy defensive stats that teams like SDSU have. It's all in context. If you watch BYU play, you will see that their defense is actually pretty decent. Last night, it was stellar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-82901289195153085452011-01-27T12:20:49.926-05:002011-01-27T12:20:49.926-05:00does maryland have any shot at an invite if they g...does maryland have any shot at an invite if they go on a run in the ACC?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-61488168872395724242011-01-27T11:59:19.771-05:002011-01-27T11:59:19.771-05:00Is Cincinnati in pretty good shape to dance?
