Houston March 1st, 4:30 CBS

I didn't get a chance to watch the game, and I just read through the comments on here. After reading these comments, I thought UC must have lost by 20 or more. I was shocked to later see we lost by 9 points, No, it's not a win but I was expecting a blowout and appears it wasn't. I thought Houston was somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 point favorites. I know all losses are disappointing but did any of you guys really expect a win? I hope the Cats come home and shake off the loss and get ready to take on the next game.

The final results are better than I had expected. Men's Basketball Falls at No. 4 Houston - University of Cincinnati Athletics
I have to admit, I spent the day at the arcade with my grandson which was more entertaining and less stressful than watching the game. BTW, if you are in Cincinnati, check out Wondercade in Westwood (old fashion arcade games).

We are going to be starting over anyway. I think the Transfer Portal will be loaded with UC BB players starting on 3/25. If Wes stays he will be recruiting a whole new team.

I don't think that there will be a mass exodus of players. I do think they like playing for him.

Who will transfer out?

We’ve had two coaching changes since then, both inheriting disasters and having to rebuild. Sampson has been there all that time without interruption. If we do another coaching change, it will be another start over, and I for one am tired of that.

so you expect CWM to make the Cats a top tier program? How long?

Houston is on another level vs. anybody in NCAA. Elite defense and offense that focuses on shots at the rim and second chance points. The ‘Cats played as well as I expected. I thought they would score no more than 40 points.

It’s funny that we were once on the same level with Houston
For those guys who say tough, demanding coaches can’t coach today’s players, I say look at Sampson and Pitino. We have very good players and a lousy head coach. We started trap press late in the game and had some success, but CWM didn’t stick with it, just like he does with player rotation. We’re 3 years into this and going no where, forget about the NIT

In one sense, Day Day played his best game as a Bearcat. He was just too pumped for the game and was over aggressive on defense, those four quick fouls really hurt. We out rebounded Houston with only two 2nd half turnovers. It was that sequence in the first half with multiple turnovers in quick succession that killed us.

We gave up too easy drives.

32to 28 rebounding for the Cats. Only 2 TOs in the second half. UH was 24 % from 3 so why the loss. I suspect the lack of an interior defense may have been the problem. The entire defense needed help. Our dependence on the 3 didn't help. Foul trouble too.

lol CWM gotta be happy about the fight but miserable about the basketball skills

[leo from jersey]

They are slow due to lacking BB IQ. They react and not anticipate and they react too late.

[leo from jersey]

Just driving at will against these slow and weak Cats. --
