I’d agree that UC plays better when they are backed into a corner but the Bearcats don’t have any room for error in the next couple of weeks. Going 4 – 2 over the next six games gives UC an 11 – 7 Big East record going into MSG. They’ll certainly be ‘Dancing’ with those numbers but if they go 3 – 3 over that same span, Cincinnati will need to do some damage in the Big East tournament.
Bearcats Turnover Margin Has Turned Negative: Can It Be Fixed?
Basically a lot has gone wrong on the offensive end in the past few games (St. John’s aside) and you can point to the turnover margin as the culprit. UC needs to fix this and fast for them to make a run at the NCAA Tournament.
