American Tournament

[Bearcat9796]

We are playing a team who lost their best player and conference POY, and we are still down 20. Just pathetic.

I don’t know what’s worse…Wes’s continued lack of a game plan, or the pathetic play of those seniors. This has got to be the softest/laziest/dumbest Bearcat team ever.

a team that's really good without there best player...someone said snakebit and that's correct

no one game plans to miss open shots and get killed on the boards

what should the game plan have been?

[longtimefan]

just stop that ridiculousness. Houston’s roster is mostly 3-star guys, including Sasser who was #399 ranked in his class.

Nolley - 4 star/#67 composite
DDJ - 4 star/#107
Skillings - 4 star/#105
Hensley - 4 star/#125
Lahkin - #123
Ody started 2 years in ACC
Stoo acting like they don’t have talent.

btw…go look at that Xavier roster. Similar to Houston…hardly any 4-stars, but through coaching and effort they are a great team!!

Those are recruit rankings. This game was men against boys. As Terry Nelson said, we suffered from a mismatch at all 5 positions. I would have played both Reed and Skillings a lot more this year, and they’d both be better now. Reed has the body to compete in a physical game like this. Instead we played low ceiling guys with more experience. Now it’s time for a hard look at the roster.

What is the deal w Hensley??? He is obviously not staying. Why did he come? Why did Wes bring him. That is what is so frustrating.

You're ranking has nothing to do with Basketball Skills... UC has had a ton of 3 Star Players over the last 30yrs who had more TALENT than the above 4 star players you mentioned....

What was Kenyon Martin's ranking coming into UC..? And you're telling all of us Kenyon was not more skilled than the above mentioned... Thats Ridiculous!

The fat lady has done sung. Turn out the lights when you leave.

They could have won several games this year with the exact same talent…they just don’t hustle and they play dumb

Yeah, we could have easily won 4 or 5 other games that they simply pi**ed away do to effort etc.... Playing dumb is also lack of BB IQ..

Gentlemen... We simply do not have the skilled players yet to compete at this level... We will eventually, just not now!

You honestly think lack of all around skill has nothing to do with the last 3yrs of mediocre play...? Lack of Effort, BB IQ along with athleticism etc is all part of the problem.

skill has nothing to do with effort and playing smart

I'm trying g to remember who we are playing, but we would've lost to many teams today, nothing will go in

Empty the bench

[Chewbacca2099]

We stunk this game. All their players are in foul trouble, best player on the bench all game, and we still can't do anything. Looking forward to next year with some new players
