That is one of the worst schedules I have ever laid eyes on.

Looks like the type of schedule OU would like to have next season.

I do like the team having an entire week to prepare for Cincy.

The issue is I am not sure how much of that time will be just Cincy prep, this is finals week for the team and we need everybody to stay in school .

 

[TheGimper]

Yeah, but they could be like me and be done with finals on Tuesday...

 

[Sam]

Good point, I'm just not sure if they all can be that lucky even thought I'm sure they did get set up with nice and easy schedules. With the way recent OU basketball has gone I would just like to see everybody get through their finals and eligible for Cincy.

The combined record of OU's opponents thus far is 53-37. If nothing else we are going to be much more battle tested than Cincinnati will be. The Bearcats beat "Utah Valley" 92-72 last night.

I hope this plays in our favor. I'm just worried about having to stop their big guy, Yancy Gates. It will be interesting to see who gets in foul trouble, Fits or Yancy. Whoever wins that battle may win the game.

Not only that, but they have Ibrahima Thomas, the former OSU bigman. He's more finesse, but he's still 6-11. That will be a major advantage for them.

But man, if we win this game we could be looking at 6 in a row in a couple of weeks. That would be nice.

Through yesterday's games Cincy's SOS rating is #307 out of 345 teams. lol
