Game 29: UCF 2/23 ESPNU 9:00

[Fox19bearcatbounce]

Get out of man, they get beat off dribble every single play and little miller is too terrible to put them in a zone and force them to shoot the 3 ball. Johnny Dawkins begging to see us again

[London 'Cat]

Good lord this team sucks. I am ashamed to be a UC alum right now.

[longtimefan]

Ody has to be in there. We’re giving the game away.

[Fox19bearcatbounce]

Get them out of man now, say what u want and blame who u want, this team is the most poorly coached team in division 1 period..

[longtimefan]

13:54 Ado and Vic sub in. Lookout, here we go. 11:36, went from down 7 to down 11

[Fox19bearcatbounce]

Tell newman to attack or just dont shoot, now sit adoo for not blocking out. Do something coach, if not jd or mason then tell them if they dont attack and keep shooting 3 then head to end of pine. One more thing for the love of god if mikey and jd are in at same time then go to zone. Getting killed on highball screens when they are out of position. This team is not a man to man team, not enough athleticism period.

[Fox19bearcatbounce]

Stop coaching guys with no offensive talent to go make a play. Organize, **** micromanage their offense. But the not boxing out and not rebounding is absolutely uncalled for. If u have to start the walk ins then start them. Not putting effort on defense in a uc uniform has to come to an end. Press them, change something up. Do something coach thatd considered an adjustment. I have never watched any basketball team at any level just completely refuse to block out.

[RWalters]

I mean the season is a wash. It's Year 1. Hopefully in Year 3 they'll be better. Obviously these grad transfers are not holding things down like we thought. I remember being excited hearing about Ado and Koval. Hensley was a 4 star recruit. Just hasn't worked out.

[Bearcat9796]

my only hope is to blame talent, chemistry, stupidity, selfishness, and lack of athleticism, so thats what I'm gonna do, that being said, yeah, play Hensley a lot

u can try to "hold them accountable", but they all done it all year, throwing in the walk ons once might send a message, wouldn't last

[Rufus]

8 in your face dunks on us, 13 point lead at the half. I was going to say that this is about to get ugly but its already there I'm afraid. This is the first UC team I've ever seen that its just not that they dont ever improve but are adamant about not improving. I swear it looks as though they are almost intentionally refusing to play sound bball. Your going to tell me that being behind by double digits in a hostile environment and your going to try to nonchalantly no look a hand off of the basketball surrounded by three defenders? What kind of thinking is that?

[Fox19bearcatbounce]

It's hard to believe but they are bad at every aspect of the game. It's talent mostly but they are also not being coached.

They have enough talent to not be getting smashed by teams in the aac, if in big 12 I would agree but this is a solid not great aac. When u have offensive deficiencies then u must coach them on offense. Stop allowing them to shoot when they cant. Its sad

[Gmann]

It's hard to believe but they are bad at every aspect of the game. It's talent mostly but they are also not being coached.

[longtimefan]

As bad as our inside game is, our guard play is even worse. You can’t win with poor guard play. I don’t want to callout names, but this is really obvious.

[Fox19bearcatbounce]

Given up 7 dunks and committed 11 turnovers in one half. That’s just absurd. Quit blaming the talent level and hold people accountable

I have been screaming for coach to hold guys accountable for a while now, and all I got was our guys are not good and what do u want coach to do since offense is terrible. We have scored plenty in last 5 games and just cant defend with consistency and passion. Uc is manhandled in every aspect of every game. If guys are not defending or rebounding or blocking out then yank them and then when they do it again then yank them. Everyone's offense looks like national title contenders when playing uc. Face it cincinnati has gotten a lot worse and in no area better. Hensley gets more time than ody? What is he thinking? They have no sets besides one out of bounce one under the basket. U cant teach mikey to attack and pass and u cant teach anyone what a good shot is or how to rebound, ucf might be bigger at some positions but they look like a final 4 team against us, time to say what I have and that's miller might be a motivator, but he isnt at all an x and o coach and that's that. I have never ever seen a uc team get so much worse ad season goes on especially with no big time injuries. Make guys earn time dont allocate certain minutes to certain guys for no reason, press for the love of god. They are playing zone, which ucf wants us to shoot three, anyone going to flash thr middle of zone for at least a pass in and pass back, no ball movement, no rebounding and getting dunked on like a division 3 team. Why are they not playing aggresive defense why cant they switch to zone. No adjustment, they will come out in second half get it down to reasonable deficit then shoot themselves in butt until game is over
implement the press with 2 to go and then make ur run when too late it's hard to watch

[Gmann]

They lack talent, effort and discipline. It's on the players and coach. It's the only thing that is a team effort with this group.
