Cincinnati Wins Big But Raises New Questions After Tarleton State Game | Fanrecap.com

[bearcatrunner]

I really love Wes but even I can see something has to change. The guys are not improving and we are so easy to scout. Wes is younger and I would love to get someone really experienced like a Huggins to help make suggestions. Much like our defense in Football our defense in basketball is bad. I know we have good numbers right now but that’s because these teams we have played are bad on offense. Good defense can lead to improved offense. Huggs was good at changing things up on defense. Even if for 5 mins at a time. It confuses the other team until they adjust. Just a thought. I’m by no means a coach but it just seems obvious.

I can 100% confirm Jalen was there. Super nice guy even signed posters as did Wes and Tillery. I wish more players did that. Shon came by but I think it was to go practice his free throws. It would be cool if they dedicated maybe 4 or 5 players to do that per game.

From BC journal-- Keyshuan Tillery played just two minutes in Monday night's game, so that was an ironic night for James to be in attendance. Miller said Tillery's minutes reduction was a coach's decision.-- While his play has been bad, I would have liked to see him get experience, but CWM could not afford to lose the game. I understand, but how has the team come so low.

From Keegan Nickoson:

Wes Miller says Jizzle James has always been enrolled at UC. He's been using UC's facilities for a couple of weeks.

Miller would not comment on his official status with the team. #Bearcats

"That's my family. Whatever is the closest without being blood-related. He's doing great."

perhaps at the start of the new semester/quarter

They did run some decent offense in the second half to get some open threes.

TSU was down 7 - they were exhausted.

The three older guys in the starting lineup had a good day. Hopefully, it can continue. Another old guy also stepped-up; Celestine. The graduate students stepped up. The team showed its dominance last night in the second half.

The beer always tastes better after a win.

Yep, ran some 4 high sets, opening up the baseline and flare screens on the wings.

Well, it looked like Tarleton sagging in the middle for a lot of the game.

We scored just over a point per possession (1.07) despite making 15 threes. We converted over 60% true shooting for the second time this season and grabbed over 35% of our misses for the first time. But we also matched our season high with a 30% turnover rate. Once again we attempted more jump shots (43) than rim attempts and free throws (28). Way more in fact. That's not a long term recipe for success. It's concerning that we can't get to the rim even in buy games.

Kriisa was our best player with 7.1 net points. He made 6 threes and only turned it over once. Day day was second best with 3.6 net points, making 5 threes with 6 assists and 5 rebounds. Baba, Abaev, and Celestine also had positive games.

Thiam had the worst game with negative 2.3 net points. He was held scoreless with 3 turnovers and 4 fouls in just 22 minutes. McKinley was just behind with negative 2.0 net points, scoring just 2 points with 2 turnovers in 16 minutes.

Heard CWM say on the pre-game that Jalen Haynes participated in shoot around today & may be back down the road. Inside scoring & assisting would be welcomed !

That would be great if they could get Haynes back at some point. We could use his toughness. We need more of what guys like he and Harris can bring to the team because it's generally lacking from the rest of the bunch.

I do think Thomas has been good so far.

[longtimefan]

Reports of Jizzle at the game tonight.

He was there, I thought I saw him on the video board.
