Unfortunately the Shox don't seem to be playing the way the computer models would predict right now.

I’m more nervous than a cop at a Steven poker game.

[another shocker]

this one might not be pretty. cincinnatti is shaping up very well indeed.

do the shockers have a power forward?

[Kel Varnsen]

I’m more nervous than Carl Peterjohn when he hears Wichitans support a public works project.

[kcshocker11]

Shocks rebound and hit back hard!

[Stickboy46]

It's at home and our last home game against UCF we at least were respectable in shooting ... but Cincy is not UCF ... so toss up.

[Dan]

Cincy has not lost at Koch arena. The boys better be ready.

[pinstripers]

If we shoot well from outside, we win.

No no no .. that's Houston and on Sunday.

And Sampson was even nice enough to give the chomper a game off to rest up for facing Wichita.

I think after the Cincy game is when the Shox kick it up to competitive. Unfortunately, I think the Bearcats have our number again.

Depends on if the refs buy into the Cumberland bull rush technique or if they allow us to play legal defense on him. So far in conference, they have been helping him out whereas he wasn't getting those calls in the non-con.

I'm more nervous than a democrat at the Iowa caucus.

P.S. This isn't intended to be a political statement... just explains my 'anxiety level' with Thursday nights game.

[Maizerunner08]

No prediction, just hope we win. Can’t be dropping any more home games now.
