Ultimately, the measure of whether this Bearcats season was a good one or a bad one will be determined by whether or not UC finishes in the top 9 of the conference with at least a .500 record in conference play. I think we can all agree to that.
To that end, the next four games the Bearcats play WILL decide whether this season is going to be good or bad.
It's rare that a team gets a chance to make such a black or white statement, but the next two weeks is just that for UC:
G-Town, @ Villanova, Notre Dame, @Georgetown.
UC has not lost to any bad teams yet (note: Providence was the worst with an RPI of 72) and they haven't beaten any good teams. Georgetown, Villanova, Notre Dame, and West Virginia are the four NCAA tourney teams that UC has a legit shot to take down and they play 3 of those teams in their next four games.
Of all the teams in the B.East, Cincy matches up best with Georgetown, mainly because they can't shoot. Every team that has beaten us has shot the lights out it seems like, but it''s a good bet the Hoyas won't be able to do that tonight.
Gates will have to be a man down low and keep his fouling to a minimum and Williams will have to keep up with 6'10" freshman Greg Monroe, who plays more like a small forward than a Center. And, has one of those really douchey chin strap beards.
