The Crosstown Shootout

[muskieman]

I think this Xavier fan says it all

[longliveskip]

what are we feeling for this Saturday? UC is def better than us. haven't seen a spread yet but i'm gonna guess they're favored by like 5 or 6?

feeling like one of our dudes flying under the radar is gonna come up with a big shot at the end that no one expected him to make and give us the win. not saying a buzzer-beater but a big shot late in the game that seals the win. I'll say Foster comes up big for us because no one, including UC, expects it.

I'll go Xavier 72, UC 67

[X-lucidity]

X can win this game, but only if we:
A) keep our turnovers UNDER 13.
B) Zach has to make at least two 3’s

Finally/ ESPN+. WTF..? Anyone know if local ABC affiliate Will simulcast it? Thanks

ESPN+ had a six-month free promotion that I took advantage of, thinking it would last me through this season. I don't know if the promotion still exists, I mentioned it in one of the threads at the beginning of the season. UC's had rights because it is in their house, so no other station carries it, and I doubt with their copyright fights with a Tennessee middle school, they would budge. I am sure some local bars will have it...call Dana Gardens

any local sports bar is pretty much guaranteed to have espn+ available on their TV's.

If you have Verizon they have a bundle deal with Disney plus that includes ESPN plus as well as Hulu for $9.99 a month and you can cancel anytime. ESPN plus has more college games on than ever now if you like watching other schools. UC has a big advantage based on they play the same type of defense that Michigan does in utilizing longer guards to extend out on the perimeter and force bad shots and turnovers. They have an advantage with size of interior, so everyone will have to rebound. The only way we have a shot is if we take care of the ball and hit 3's. I'm thinking UC 72-64. Hope I'm wrong. Can't imagine even Wes Miller losing four in a row to us.

[longliveskip]

any spread on this game yet? thinking UC -7.5 or something like that but can't find one anywhere.

[longliveskip]

looks like FanDuel has Bearcats at -8.5. wasn't too far off. i'm guessing it should stay around that. I don't expect too much line movement.

[bluegrass]

More pressure on the Bearcats to win this game.It's at home.They've lost 5 straight.They're ranked. Of course a few weeks ago OSU was heavily favored to beat their arch rival.Maybe this game is to Wes Miller what Michigan is to Ryan Day. X needs a quality road win though particularly looking at the next week at UCONN and home vs Marquette.
