Armein Kirkland led the Cats with 19 points off the bench and is by far the front runner for the C-USA Sixth Man award this year. Also, for the fourth straight game the Bearcats shot 48% or higher from the field.

Shootout in Memphis
"Cincy and Memphis traded baskets all night, but the Tigers had the last laugh getting the win 83-76."
Sunday March 6th, 2005
The Cincinnati Enquirer

It was Rodney Carney's night. Carney went 10-12 from beyond the arch, scoring 42 points and leading his team to a huge C-USA win over the Bearcats. Carney also went 6-7 from the free throw line and had 6 assists and 3 steals. Sean Banks was also big for the Tigers, scoring 18 points and going 4-6 from three point range.


Rodney Carney drives to the hoop, he led all scorers with 42 points.

Both teams had a very close shooting percentage from the field, and were very close in rebounds and assists. The difference in the game, was the Tigers connecting on 19 three pointers and shooting 52% from deep. The Tigers also did a good job in holding the Bearcats to only 8 points in the paint, including a 0-6 shooting performance by Eric Hicks. Jason Maxiell had a huge final regular season game in the NCAA, getting 15 points and 15 rebounds, he will probably be drafted in the upcoming NBA draft. Senior guard Nick Williams also had a nice final game, getting 18 points and 6 rebounds, his NBA status is unclear. Cincinnati will now gear up for the C-USA Tournament, both Cincy and Memphis enter the tourney as the #1 and #2 seeds with both having a 13-3 C-USA record, the Bearcats are the #1 seed, with an overall record of 27-4.

#8 - Houston Cougars vs #9 - St. Louis Billikens
(Winner advances to play Cincinnati)

The Bearcats have a first round bye, but if the Houston Cougars defeat St. Louis, the Bearcats would have their hands full again against a team that defeated them earlier this year in Cincinnati. Houston guard Andre Owens is a good shooter and can quickly take a game over. As for the Billikens of St. Louis, the Bearcats blew them out in their second game of conference play back in January.

Kirkland Honored as C-USA 6th Man
The Cincinnati Enquirer

For the second straight year, the Conference USA 6th Man of the Year award has gone to a Bearcat. Last season the incredible play of Tony Bobbitt won him the award, Bobbitt was practically the best 6th man in the NCAA. This year however, the award has been given to Cincinnati's Armein Kirkland. Kirkland has played every position for the Cats this year except center. He averaged over 12 points a game and over a steal a game. He also hit 76 three pointers, second on the team behind Nick Williams who hit 111. Armein also hit clutch shots throughout the season and was a big leader when it counted most. Armein Kirkland averaged 12.3 points a game, Tony Bobbitt averaged 13.3 last season. Coach Huggins has already said Armein will be the teams starting shooting guard for the 2005-06 season, as Nick Williams is graduating.

Thanks, it is tiring at times, usually it takes me about 20-30 minutes everyday for my update. I think my next legacy, this one or another, I might spread it out a little more (time wise, not effort). I like the way my legacy is presented though, it is a little more in depth in my opinion.

P.S. - I'm not trying to be cocky.
