UC"s Kilpatrick shows maturity | Cincinnati.com | cincinnati.com
"We’ve got to do a better job of coaching him to take the tough three out of his repertoire," Cronin said, "because he’s a guy that can take it to the basket. He’s good going to the basket. That’s who he was. He came in a non-3-point shooter."
That's one area where Kilpatrick had a huge benefit in red shirting. He was the teams most consistent three point shooter last year and is one of the best in the conference this season. Dude is addicted to the gym and I am pretty sure that he might think about killing someone for a win. He wouldn't do it. But he'd think about it.
Cincinnati 74 DePaul 66 | February
The Bearcats do have 1 ace up their sleeve, and that's that they force turnovers against bad teams and are able to score. The Cats forced 18 and scored 22. That was a large part of the 74. It was good to see the press broken back out and the guards back to pocket picking ways. Wright, Dixon and Jackson combined for 7 steals. UC had 10. Take away the 22 points off turnovers and UC is in the 50s. Just like where they were for Syracuse and Rutgers. Sometimes it's not rocket science.
It's a risky propisition living on turnover margin but that is how UC has to win at this point

Way too early 2012 Power Rankings, Take 2 - Big East Blog - ESPN
4. Cincinnati: I know Bearcats fans continue to harp on the "keep doubting us" mantra, but there is no denying this team is losing a good chunk of its starters and will be one of the least experienced teams in all of college football next season. There is talent, but how does everybody come together?
10 starters. The Bearcats are losing 10 starters from the 2011 team. That kind of attrition is par for the course in college Football. It sure has hell doesn't qualify a team as one of the least experienced teams in College Football.

Around The Big East
UConn was just 9-9 in the Big East last season before beginning its improbable postseason run, but the Kemba Walker-led Huskies never delivered as lifeless a performance as this year's squad did in Monday's second half. They trailed Louisville by only five at halftime but got outscored 36-12 over the next 14 minutes, appearing to quit amid a hail of dunks and three-pointers from the Cardinals.
Ballin' is a Habit: College Hoops Week in Review: Tray Woodall and Miami make noise
Why? Its simple: Tray Woodall. The talented Panther point guard missed an extended period of time in the middle of the season due to groin and abdominal injuries, but he returned to the lineup on January 21st. Pitt lost that game as Woodall was, quite evidently, working to get his bearings back. But since then, the Panthers have won four straight, including going into West Virginia and taking home the title in this year's Backyard Brawl. Woodall had 24 points and three assists. Then on Saturday, Woodall went for 29 points, six assists and five boards in a nine point win over Villanova.
I don't know about you but I am thankful that UC played Pitt when they did. Trey Woodall makes a massive difference to that team.

Ballin' is a Habit: POSTERIZED: The FranklinSlam
That's one helluva dunk. That's also a pretty pathetic display of weak-side box-out defense. I've heard that Franklin tend s to go by the nickname "Circus Time", and it seems like a rather appropriate name.
You know you want to see a dunk by someone who calls himself circus time. of course you do.
Nice Things to Say About Attila the Hun | Past Imperfect
Attila was a "savage destroyer" of whom it was said that "the grass never grew on the spot where his horse had trod." For the Roman historian Jordanes, he was "a man born into the world to shake the nations." As recently as a century ago, when the British wanted to emphasize how barbarous and how un-English their opponents in the First World War had grown—how very far they had fallen short in their sense of honor, justice and fair play—they called the Germans "Huns."
Dude was a badass. He was also a bit of a dick. But that's just the beginning
