      I didn’t watch because the game was on ESPN+ but I am so glad I couldn’t watch. Who would have thought they would have lost when they were favored so much. Pathetic. CWM is through as UC’s coach.

        Outrebounded by two mid-majors in two straight games. It is clear that this team is lost without Baba Miller in the lineup. Wes Miller does not give his players much when it comes to showing them how to win games.

        Happy Thanksgiving.

          This is a rotten UC team. Best team won tonight. Last place in the Big XII looks highly probable.

            I think any game they win in the Big 12 is an upset.

                CWM needs to find 5 players....any players...who want to play hard consistently. At least the University won't have to suffer those type of embarrasment. I'm sure Thanksgiving dinner at Miller's will be pleasant. NOT!!!!

                  It probably won’t matter, but this is a Q4 loss that will haunt them for a long time.

                    The team is rotten and clueless because the coach is completely incompetent. I've been saying it for 3 years. No matter what level of talent he has he will mismanage it. Tonight a mid-major level coach coached circles around him. What do you think Pitino will do next week and of course the good coaches in the big 12 will eat his lunch again this year.

                    It's one thing to know he can't win a big game against better teams but this is a new low even for him. I was glad to hear Steve Logan express his frustration on the post game show because you know that's just the tip of the iceberg for how other former players and big boosters are feeling.

                      I'm sure they'll rebound after the humiliation, but they'll always come up short in big games, against the top tier of the B12 in particular, I'm guessing. You keep hoping for signs of change, but they never come. Just a bland, mid-brand of basketball. This team should be better than they are, I think.

                          We scored 0.85 points per possession. This isn't one bad game. It's the 5th time in 7 games this season we've scored under a point per possession, 3 of them in buy games. Eventually that will bite you when one of them hits a few shots.

                          Wes Miller's teams have never attacked the basket. It's inexcusable to take more than twice as many three pointers as free throws against a team like this. Get to the rim! But I don't expect that to change. It was apparent when we hired Wes to anyone willing to dig into the stats. He runs a jumpshot heavy offense through the guards. Always has. Wes has never had a team in the top 50% nationally in free throw attempts. Only once has he had a top 100 shooting team - #87 back in 2017.

                          In this game we were 7 for 29 from three and 1 for 7 from midrange - that's 8 for 36 on jumpshots, a miserable 22%. We got to the rim 20 times and the FT line 14 times. So we had more jumpshots than rim attempts and free throws combined. The conversation will be around effort, but that's just a terrible gameplan against anybody.

                          Day Day was our best player by far with 5.9 net points. Kriisa was the only other player with a positive impact thanks to his 6 assists. Everyone else was in the negative. Rodriguez was worst, followed by Abaev.

                            The seat under Miller has just gotten a lot hotter.

                              I had to miss the game due to family obligations but still I know exactly how the game played out both from reading the comments here and the history of how Wes Millers teams play. We thought he was a good recruiter getting these top 50 rated recruits but if they can't score ,can't rebound, can't box out,........ really can't do anything as far as playing fundamental basketball except throw up air balls then they are not top rated. I think we have to face it, we as fans need to voice our displeasure now because Wes Miller cannot coach, he cannot motivate, and he cannot plan, or execute a winning game plan and refuses to to make any strategic in game changes to attempt to confuse or suppress the opponent. I've never been so embarrassed to be a bearcat fan since Tony Yates' stall ball game even though I didn't see the game and I shudder to think about how the rest of the season is going to play out unless something does change. I don't know if I can't watch anymore.

                                Tery was vocal throughout the game. He said injuries are no excuse as even with them, UC had much more talent on the court. They just can't rebound, pass or defend. Althouch the jersies look sharp, they need to take the name Cincinnati off of them. It goes without saying that they can't shoot or run the break either.
