Sad State of Bearcat Basketball

[D.A.H.]

There's nobody that has followed Miller's tenure with the Bearcats and this team's play so far that believes things improve as we face tougher competition. I watched the YouTube link above from "steveedwards" and the exasperation from Chad Brendel tells it all. Milller should just say nothing rather than the nonsense that "it's clear this is going to be a great team". The most hopeless scenario would be if Miller really believed this BS rather than the desperate situation that is.

yep. can we just skip what will be a fan crushing season, and get to the day, next spring, when wes gets the boot, and the fans get to renew their hope for the future of the program

Saw this from SI in Bearcat journal and it smacks of the reality of the sad state of the once proud UC Bearcats. 3 losses with the 324th ranked schedule

Check out UC's season stats then you will understand what I am complaining about.

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.

Leo that speaks of the apathy the fans have for the entire athletic

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!
