After their crushing defeat versus Notre Dame on Thursday, its time for UC to forget it and move on. Notre Dame played a perfect game where all their shots were falling, while the Bearcats were not. In the first half Notre Dame shot the lights out from 3-point range to loosen up the UC defense. In the second half they used screens and back door cuts executed to perfection to get easy layups. The way Notre Dame played I thought they were a lock to win the Big East tournament and get a #1 seed in March Madness. But against Louisville their shooting came back to earth and they played just an average game and lost.
For the Bearcats there are two ways they could respond to this loss: They could question their play and their defense and come out flat and tentative in their next game, or they could re-focus and play determined to show everyone that they are a good team that plays great defense. I think the latter will occur. They need to move forward and put the ND game in their rearview mirrow, and just look forward to finding out their seed and matchup on Selection Sunday tonight, and start preparing for their opponent. It's been a fun season and its not over yet!
