Need More Than 50

Last week when the Bearcats dropped a big game at Memphis they scored only 45 points, in today's loss at Marquette they scored only 50.  The fact that UC lost at Marquette, or for that matter at Memphis, is not unexpected.  It's how they lost.  Today they shot only 32%  from the field and 16% from 3 point, while Marquette was 54% from the field and 60% from 3 point.  Sunday it was the three pointer that hurt them....on both sides.  At Memphis UC shot 33% from the field and 20% from 3, while Memphis was 40% from the field and just 16% from 3.  At Memphis, 20 turnovers for the Cats hurt them quite a bit.
Up next is a must win conference game with Providence visiting Fifth Third Arena Wednesday.  A good, supportive crowd would certainly help.  Fans answered our survey saying they didn't go to games earlier because of the competition.  The Big East has started, no reason to stay home now.
Up Next:  Providence @ Fifth Third Arena   Jan 7
