How is Cincinnati only favored by 3 after they clobbered us in Cincinnati. The bookies must know something !

Cincy must not be bringing several players or maybe they found out the Legends are playing for us tonight. I heard Eric Coley will wear Urbancic's jersey and play under that name and Shaq Harrison will be wearing Pritchard's jersey. Oh and Jerome Jordan will be wearing Nikita's jersey. Does that help?

a mystery to me as well. I haven't looked at the CU road record. There are teams that roll at home but struggle to win on the road. I will be shocked it TU wins tonight.

You know who is a really, really bad road team? Who had not won a single road game (before last week)? ECU...

Per Sagarin ratings, Cincinnati should be a 4 point favorite, so the 3 point spread isn’t much of a stretch. Cincinnati is rated as the 79th best team on Sagarin.

In other words, they’re not a great team this year. Just like our game at #116 Tulane, they blew us out on their home courts because we have a bad team this year.

BTW, I posted in December that Sagarin ratings at that time showed we would be underdogs in 15 of our last 20 games. We were around .500 in the latter parts of an easy non-conference schedule.

Unfortunately, we have actually underperformed that very low expectation since I posted those stats.
