I heard Nelson and Hoard say more intelligent things on the postgame about what's wrong with the offense than Miller has all year.

I think Miller is more of a rah rah cheerleader than a tactician who actually knows how to fix the problem.

[zykarious]

I thought CJ did well in other areas and he needs pt. Terry and CWM said the same. Maybe we are looking for any positives.

Yeah, CJ played well enough in other areas, but we need someone to score points. He's never going to be a great in other areas, so he needs to have a bigger impact on offense to make up for it.

16mins for Fredricks! Why? 0 points!

Again, a team that struggles to score and Rayvon sits... Wes is clueless on this one!

Does anyone ever ask Wes why Rayvon gets no playing time? All I heard was his shot needed work. Can he possibly be any worse than what we're seeing?

[Oldtimer_UC_fan]

I’m so glad FCC starts in 2 months, a dynamic front office & excellent HC. Watching the hard court version of the Bengals, ugh.

At least the Bengals scored points.

[Lobot]

OK, I'll reiterate my twitter post. Something is obviously wrong. Not sure if it's the locker room, coaching disconnect, NIL etc. But something is really, really wrong. I hope there's a players only meeting after this one and they get their heads on straight. No one is playing particularly well right now. The offense is apparently a damn mystery to everyone.

This should be a NCAA team based on the roster , Right now they are looking at NIT or below. This team beat Xavier and Dayton and then conference play started and they went into their shell.

Shoutouts to Dan, Page and Reed for their contributions today.

I'm ready to try a starting 5 of Day Day, Skillings, Reed, Mitchell, Page

I am with you on starting another 5 because the current starting 5 is NOT working. Page had the best day of his UC career today. Good for him. How can a team give up ONLY 54 points and still lose? UC has NOT scored more than 48 points in two games. Is the offense really that bad? In every BIG XII game this season, there are intervals in the game where UC is dominated by the other team. Today was no different.

I saw an interview that Miller gave this week right after the team came back from Waco. I believe that Miller's overall coaching philosophy is based on getting players to play hard. That's it. As if playing harder than the other team will automatically generate wins. Miller does an excellent job of getting the team to play hard. What about all the other things that are needed to win? When I look at Miller's teams, I see a team that plays hard and NOT much of anything else. Where are the designs, constructs, and strategies?

Listening to the announcers is interesting when UC begins to fall apart and a loss is inevitable. It is if they see the talent but not anything else and begin to feel sorry for the program and what it is currently going through.

Worst conference start in 42 years. Wow!! This has happened on Miller's watch. Let's be truthful and frank about this. This is embarrassing to the University of Cincinnati, its fan base, and its present and former students. Here is the bad news, the losses are NOT finished. When you look at the schedule, what team can UC outlast for 40 minutes? Is it possible that this team can go 0-20 this year in the conference? Honestly, what teams in the BIG XII can UC beat?

[Gmann]

They are talented but not skilled and not well coached. They will win some games going forward but once again not enough to get a tourney bid. They have already dug to deep of a hole which allows no room for error.

Why boo Zac Taylor? Obviously you aren't a Bengals fan.

slow starts which has caught up to him for 2 years now - questionable play calls. I am a fan -- I was at the first ever bengals pre season game at Nippert. On the opening kickoff a player got a fumble and scored. Paul Brown cut him that week.

We can't get a full game of effort out of the players. They played hard in the first half, then it dropped off in the second. Even Mitchell caught caught slacking off on a couple of box outs. Then late game we just started desperation 1v1 shots. Something is clearly wrong.

[Rufus]

2 for 19 from the three is bad enough but there were six shots that I remember from right under the rim that were missed not counting the dunk attempt that the rim blocked Page on. We shot better when we didn't have the shot doctor. UC basketball is in trouble.

so who we gonna call to fix it - the Doctor is in but he is guilty of malpractice.

Horrible offense. It's worse than Cronin's & i didn't think that was possible. Too much dribling, everyone is afraid to shoot the ball. Need to sit SImas. Need to experiment with the other players to see
who can make a basket. 15 points in the second half is embarassing.

It’s pretty simple…
Simas 1-10
Day Day 1-8
Jizzle 1-6
CJ 0-4
That’s 3-30, 10% from what are supposed to be your scorers. Kansas has some really good on ball defenders, but all of those guys had some open looks during the game. Last year Jizzle was money on those mid range jumpers, but lately he looks so tentative, totally without confidence. Whatever happened to penetrating and dishing to an open shooter? All we do now is over penetrate, and defense knows once the ball is going inside on the drive it’s not coming back out. Maybe the reason we don’t find open shooters after penetration is the same reason we never pass the ball on the break, I don’t know.

I think CWM maybe needs to look deeper on the bench. I saw Tyler Betsey play in a in all star games last year, and there’s a lot more to his game than catch and shoot threes, and I can’t figure what’s going on with Rayvon. Anyway, after a brutal opening 4 game stretch, we need to win at Colorado.

Betsey is also available. Oh yeah, the French guy (Halvine Dzellat) is available too.
