Tomorrow night brings Cincy to town for a rematch of the game that really started the losing streak the ladies are on. Here are a few thoughts about the rematch.

 
We are teetering on eliminating ourselves from the tournament if we lose this one....because if we lose this one, it's just only going to get worse.

We have to take care of the teams at home we SHOULD beat (Cincy, UCF, Arizona, etc.)

Those are the three easiest games on our conference schedule (other than perhaps our win @ Houston) and it's three of our next four games, which is immediately followed by a mid-week bye. If we can take those three and in the meantime get healthy in the next three weeks, we can perhaps salvage something this season.

Thank goodness we beat Iowa because we needed a big resume booster given what has transpired and Iowa is looking good. But I feel like we're still going to need to upset either a Texas Tech or Oklahoma State to ensure we're off the bubble. Because wins against Arizona, UCF, and Cincy aren't going to do anything for our resume.

I agree that it is rather stunning that ESPN predicts a 95% chance of a win here, considering that the team is on a 5 game losing skid with one of those losses being to Cincinnati. Sometimes I wonder if the computer manager over there hasn't spilled a little Mountain Dew on his keyboard.

Whatever metrics ESPN uses clearly is not taking AJ and Brown being out fully into account.

Agree…and still might require a solid run in the conf tournament. Get healthy…that’s a biggie right now
 
The Cincinnati post players faired pretty well one on one with Audi last time. We need Audi to have a better outing and hopefully get their bigs in foul trouble. We should win this game even with the injuries. I'm feel for the girls on this team, it would be nice for them to get a win.
