I ask again. Some of the players performed much better in the BIG12 last year. Same players and no known injuries. What has happened.

UC coach Wes Miller said. "They're a very good offensive team. I believe we have the ability to be a very good defensive team. We didn't defend tonight." WHY CWM? Why didn't you defend?

Both teams are at 45 at the under 16 time out.

I said first one there wins, but didn't expect it to happen so soon

LOL. You also said to take the under and it would be a low scoring game. But the third prediction did turn out to be true as TT got to 45 first.

Maybe I'm wrong (hopefully), maybe I'm just frustrated...but I'm in the camp that I see what I see and I have seen what I've seen. As of now, UC bball is a program that can't get it done against the "upper" echelon on this league. Maybe, we pull that one upset here and there, but I just don't have confidence that we will beat good teams on a consistent basis under the current administration/coaches. There's too many glaring issues that I think a lot of fans are holding their breath to be corrected...but the large enough sample size says it is what it is.

Good one brother. I am with you. A large enough sample is in to project the likely outcomes. Hey, what is there left to really say?

That we were wrong with my above statement and we start stringing together good wins! Haha

Very good point Leo. I am thinking the same thing. Except for Newman and James in the starting lineup, it is the same team that played in the BIG XII last season. UC was a slightly better team after 7 games in the conference last year (3-4). Also, UC was more feisty, pushy, and competitive. This year, UC appears to be softer and less competitive in the conference.

Miller always talk about player personal development and getting better everyday. To be honest with you, I have a hard really seeing how the team has gotten better since last year. Has anyone on the team really gotten better? With Skillings and Aziz, the rebounding is down, James is very inconsistent, Thomas does not shoot the ball as much, and Simas has been in a funk for a while now.

Can UC basketball save itself before its too late?
