Good track record against us? What track record could possibly mean anything? They beat us with the player of the year in 1998 or something? Lol

This will be the first game of the year where we are underdogs. Let's see if they can come out of the gates without getting behind by double digits.
All I hear is we lost because they had hot shooting... really you don't think we will face that in the NCAA tournament if we make it and in the big 12, we need defense not just oh well they shot really well so we lost. just stupid.
Summary: They're all mad we lost, they wanted to beat a top 5 team.
They all pick Cinci.
Of course they all say our lack of depth will be the difference.
The way we've played the last 5 games of course they are licking their chops. Undeserved top 5 ranking and unproven. Fat cats going to slaughter against real teams that play with grit and hunger. Perhaps a player's only meeting is in the near future, those usually change things.
Do you think a posters only meeting would help this board? I know of at least a dozen that need some sort of intervention, to talk them off the ledge.
Part of being an adult is knowing that the world isn't Candyland nor is it Mordor. It's having your eyes wide open and seeing the reality. Accepting it and being ok with what it brings.

Part of being an adult is not overreacting and being able to admit when you're wrong. Hopefully you're and to do the later when we win tonight.
I got on this thread to check out the line and gave up after sorting through a couple pages of 'the sky is falling' and 'we only lost because UNI shot well.' I believe the fans on here falling into either of those categories are wrong.
The sky is not falling and this is still our best chance to win the Big 12 in the foreseeable future. UNI beat us because they played better and took us out of our game, not because they were "unconscious." I find it amusing that some people treat another team shooting well as an anomaly, as if our embarrassing ball screen defense wasn't the root cause. Nonetheless, the issue is fixable through coaching, which is good news.
Tonight's game will likely require toughness on the boards and on defense. We have not looked good in the half court so far this year and we have to get out in transition; especially against a team like Cincy. We can't do that if we fold like a cheap lawn chair on defense.
I also think we have to get more out of Nader and Thomas; especially Nader. He has seemed out of the flow of the game most the time and plays with his head down. He has looked like that guy at the 'Y' who you hate on your team who shoots or turns it over every time he gets the ball. He has way too much talent to continue to play like this.
I am excited to see how we come out tonight. I have no worries about our 'Big 3' and will be paying close attention to the rest of the cast. No reason for anyone on here to be anything but pumped for an opportunity for a statement win. Go Clones!

The ISU ML would be my bet if I decide to bet on this one. Cincy is going to be tough but hopefully we bounce back.
I agree. I'm also considering 1h Cinci. Our amazing ability to suck in the first half makes that one very tempting.
