Sad State of Bearcat Basketball

It's winter break y'all. The interns are out of office

Oh okay. That explains some things, but not everything. For instance, after the EMU game, it took UC a while to post the box score. I had to go to the EMU basketball website to get the box score. Also, Xavier has posted the season stats for the UC game. UC has not.

All season long I have been complaining about the posting of the season stats. I have followed UC basketball for a long time. UC has been very good at posting the box scores and the season stats on its website, in a timely manner, until this season. This is not normal for UC. Something ain't right.

I find Chad Brendel to be fairly balanced in his reporting and I try to follow his thoughts on all things Bearcats sports. I found his podcast a couple of days ago very interesting. He and the others on the podcast are very pointed in their thoughts about Wes and the program. I don't catch everything he does, but his comments added to my concern about the program. https://www.youtube.com/live/Kzo3EIx...bZfSNNoWa6S2-H

As of right now, 12/9/25 4:55 pm Tuesday, the stats for the Xavier game have NOT been included with the season stats. That game was played last Friday. That was about 5 days ago. What the %#@& is going on with this basketball program right now? UC has ALWAYS done a great job posting the season stats in a timely manner. What is the problem?

I guess it is just the current state of affairs with UC basketball. Sad.

As I've said before, for all the folks who wanted Cronin gone, (and his 25-30 wins per season) I hope you're happy.

Not at all! As I said before, be careful what you wish for. You can't blame the frustration in critical losses during the tournament. That Nevada loss was hard to get over. That being said, I'd take Mick back in a heartbeat!

Perhaps if they had picked the right replacements things would have worked out.

Because of his huge buyout I know we are stuck with Miller through this season. Does anyone have any sense or intel on how the big boosters are feeling about Miller and how the season is unfolding? While we all think he's on the hot seat it reallly comes down to the feelings of the big money boosters doesn't it? I, like many others, feel we need a clean sweep to include Cunningham, Satterfield and Miller but Miller has me the most irritated because he has completely ruined the reputation of the proud BB heritage. If I was backing the sports program with big donations I'd be really pi$$ed!

[BearKatz]

Can we PLEASE end the Wes Miller experiment! The University needs to cut there losses and move on!

Kriisa....accuracy?? Am I missing something?

[Rufus]

So true Leo.

The problem LR with the new found accuracy of Kriisa & Day Day is the that become reliant on it, Miller begins to game plan with it and when the accuracy begins to fail and no one heats up to take up the flack, all of a sudden we're back to a team jacking up air balls again. They have to have a contingency plan when these shooters get cold again and they will get cold. With three men at seven foot (Mc kinley 6' 11" ) you would think they would figure out some ways to consistently get these guys some shots underneath.

that would require a game plan plus the desire and ability to actually see the man and pass it to him. What we see are either TOs or jacking up 3s

[Rufus]

Something to be hopeful about? I noticed that at the tail-end of the EMU game, Kriisa and Thomas started hitting threes in tandem. It is as though they both got hot at the same time. Not sure why the other players did not continue to go to them, because they were hot. In the TSU game, Kriisa and Thomas were hot again. Kriisa hit 6 (six) threes and Thomas hit 5 threes.

If Thomas and Kriisa can continue to hit their threes in tandem, that would give the team a big boost. Also, Baba Miller needs some help with scoring. When you think about it, Kriisa and Thomas are graduate students. They have been around big-time college basketball for a while now. It is time for these guys to step-up and help the team to win these games.

What I have seen from Thomas and Kriisa, on the offensive side of the ball, over the last three halves gives me some hope that this team may have something. Wins and losses will depend on those two guys shooting the ball well.
